I am a daily hair curler - unless I am feeling lazy and it will get a quick straighten or get thrown into a bun. My hair drys naturally very straight, in that regard I am lucky, although it looks quite limp and lifeless and I prefer a bit of bounce and volume in my hair, hence curling it (or creating a soft wave) always looks better in my opinion. I've used a fair few curling wands in my time and dabble with the straightener curling technique which can be difficult to get the hang of. One of my trusted brands when it comes to hair tools, Remington, has recently brought out a new tool - the Proluxe Salon Styler Twist to Curl* - essentially a cross between a traditional curling wand and a straightener that makes curling a breeze.

What do you get when uber chic fashion house Balmain team up with massive international brand L'Oreal? A freaking amazing lipstick collaboration that you do not want to miss out on! I was super lucky and privileged to receive the most amazing faux snakeskin luxurious AF box containing all 12 shades from the L'Oreal x Balmain collaboration*. These shades are daring, bold and not for the faint-hearted.

It has been a little while since I made an order from Colourpop, and with the excuse that I needed to order more of my favourite brow pencils, I obviously added a few other new bits to my cart. I had to make the USD $50 mark to get free shipping, of course! They had just launched their new spring collection and brought out a new shadow palette that I couldn't resist!

Despite the summer months being long behind us in NZ, that is no excuse to not pull out the bright and bold nail polish shades. Although I love a good neutral on the nails, sometimes you just need something bright and fun to liven your mood. The new OPI Lisbon Collection* offers exactly that - bright tones paired with more neutral soft pinks and nudes for a collection that has a shade to please everyone.

To say I've been slacking in the blog post department is an understatement, this might be the longest I've gone without posting something on here and I feel pretty damn guilty about it! I have been quite busy with other things going on, but honestly, I think I just wasn't totally feeling it. It's important to recognise those sorts of feeling and an unintentional break was what I needed. But in saying that, now it's time to get back into it, so here are my belated empty products that I finished throughout March.
