Benefit HELLO HAPPY Soft Blur Foundation is the newest Benefit Cosmetic 'must have'. I am so pleased benefit has created a NEW foundation with a wider range of shades numbering from 1-12. This foundation is ight-to-medium coverage, with a lightweight formula that provides a natural matte finish to the skin.  It has  SPF 15 sun protection and NO flashback in photos. 

I was recently invited to the launch of this in to the NZ market and was absolutely spoilt with the entire collection to try out for myself. A slumber party themed launch with hot choc and the benebabes in dressing gowns. 

THANKYOU SO MUCH for the feedback on my first 'Bridal Feature' where I breakdown what was used to create some of my brides looks last season. I'm exited to share with you my bride Jess's look. Jess got married at Matakana and was photographed by Chasewild. Her Hair and makeup was done by me and her flowers by Two Foxes. 

Jess's makeup look was one of my most asked for bridal makeups. Bronzed Smokey eye. In my opinion this makeup can suit anyone and it works so well with bridal. 

I was recently invited to the launch of a new face mask called AYLA SKIN. I LOVE a good face mask and at first I was skeptical as I hadn't heard of the brand before. Then I read up about this Pink Clay Mask and I was excited to try it. This mask went viral and sold out within a couple of hours in the Aus market!  The reviews are coming in thick and fast and there instagram following is huge so I was very eager to see what this mask was all about.

Lets talk Dermalogica. Ten years ago when I trained at The Makeup School I was introduced to this brand. I was so pleased that it was the one skincare brand TMS used. I was lucky enough to use this everyday at training which enabled me to learn the ins and outs of each products and how they best work on the skin. I was recently sent a few extra Dermalogica products to add to my collection so I wanted to share with you my thoughts on each product and my new routine.

SLEEP.

The word I'm not getting much of lately. Lets be more honest.. the word I haven't been getting much of for the last five years! (kids) I struggle without it, we all do and since I have had my second child I have only started to realize how important it is for me to get a good night sleep. Not only for my own personal benefits but for my children too!  

This winter Im making some changes In order to get a BETTER NIGHTS SLEEP! 

I wanted to share with you what changes I have made so far.
