The September bellabox* for NZ has arrived and boy, oh boy, is it a good one! They teased one of the products before the box went out and I am so excited that both the Aussie and NZ bellabox subscribers get one of the Tarte Tarteist Lip Paints!

Essence is definitely one of my favourite affordable brands that totally delivers on quality. The majority of their range is all under $10 which is ridiculously cheap in NZ standards. There are some standout products that I love from their core range and they are always bringing out loads of new products that are on trend, but they never last long in stores! Here are some of the new releases that have come out over the past couple of months.

Not a month goes by that I don't find myself finishing a whole load of different products at once. If you regularly read my Empties posts, you'll see I tend to finish a lot of things, I don't think I use too much of a product but I always make it my aim to stick with the products otherwise as a blogger I would end up having 20 different moisturisers on the go and I would never get through them! The July's Empties is a hefty one, so let's get started.

(Apologies that this is about a month overdue, I just took an unintentional blogging break, but still wanted to get this up!)

Well, it has been far too long since I actually posted on my blog, there has been a lot going on lately and honestly I just needed a break to get my blogging mojo back! So today I am kicking back into it with a post featuring a palette from one of my favourite brands, Colourpop. This is the Give It To Me Straight Pressed Shadow Palette and it is a beauty.
