POSTS

Sorry i havent been posting lately school has been absolutely hectic but it's term break so i can finally start posting again !!!!!

I'm going to Singapore for a holiday tomorrow (Sunday) and i have decided while i am there i will be taking pictures of things i see beauty stores and when i get back to my hotel room i will take pictures of what i bought so basically a picture haul and this will include clothing, makeup, hair stuff, jewellery,stationary, and other accessories just because my blog is not just going to be on makeup its going to be about anything that people feel makes them beautiful and what can help them feel beautiful on the inside too :) Really just cute stuff aswell - maybe i will change the name of my blog so it covers a more wider variety of things just so that i can post more of he things i want to and not feel so restricted.

So i hope you guys will like this idea and i will most likely do this as well when i go to Italy next year in April as well!!!!!!!!!!!

So you will probably get another post up on Monday/Tuesday and yeah

Have a lovely day/night where ever you are in the world my lovelies

Beautiful you :)

I am absolutely terribly sorry that i haven't been posting as much as i should it's just schools been back and its been hectic with all the assignments and study but today is not about school its about being the beautiful you that you are :)

Don't understand????? Keep reading then :)

At school i have not been good with friendships and i think that's because i acted how i thought they wanted me to act , but now i have a strong group of friends who want to be my friend because of who i am as a person so I'm going to give you a little advice on being the beautiful you !!!

Make sense???? cool,  well first of all i know that most girls love getting dressed up and they feel pretty when they put on their makeup but being beautiful isn't about that or the clothes you wear, its about who you are as a person and how you act towards people. Step 1. Keep smiling through all the pain and be confident in yourself if your not confident like i wasn't then fake a smile and act confident and then one you find out your not acting anymore! Step 2. Wear what you want, and dress how you feel i know every girl wants to fit in with fashion but if your wearing it's in style trust me on this cause nowadays i wear what i want and dress how i feel and smile when i wear it and i get so many compliments :) Step 3. Be polite if someone you thought was your best friend but turned their back on you don't go b*tching behind their back because your stooping to their level move on and smile, and say hello when you see them but keep your distance because you don't know if they re going to do it again. And finally Step 4. ACT HOW YOU WANT, BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE, BE YOURSELF AND EVERYONE WILL SEE YOUR INNER BEAUTY :) 

I love you guys very much i hope this helped it wasn't fully on beauty but it was more about inner beauty and i thought you gals might need at the moment because i know sure as hell that i would have loved someone to tell me these things when i was having troubles with being who i was and friends. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo have a lovely day/night where-ever you are in the world :)

Be beautiful , Be you

5 Tips and Tricks :)

So today i think I'm going to do another Tips and Tricks post :)

Tip #3: When in the sun not just your skin but EVEN your hair can burn so use a leave in conditioner with UV protection.

Tip #4: Always use a moisturizer on your skin! it will leave it healthy and glowing your skin will defiantly thank-you! :)

Tip #5: In your beach bag, purse, or whatever bag always keep a little beauty bag that could include the following things - bobby pins - hair ties - current perfume/scent - band-aids - lip balm and anything else you may need because you never know when you may need any of these things :)

So thank you so much for reading i hope you liked this post and find that it comes in handy and i hope you all have a beautiful day/night :)

The Body Shop- Body Butters

Shea body butter

Pink Grapefruit body butter

So i have recently gone to the body shop and i picked out 2 of their body butters now i knew i used to HATE them because to me when i put them on they used to feel really sticky on my skin and they wouldnt absorb into my skin after ages of waiting, i also really didn't like the overwhelming scents and the one i used to own was the strawberry body butter so i used it all up and chucked it out hoping to never use one of these ever again that is seriously how much i hated them but then i was in there and i was looking at them and i smelt them and tested them out as you do when you go in there and i was just like you know these ones are great they smell good, they don't feel sticky they were really moisturizing and after a long time going back and forth of wanting and not wanting to buy them i finally decided right I'm going to get them and the ones i picked out were the Shea body butter and the Grapefruit body butter and they smell absolutely DIVINE!!!! The Shea one is really moisturizing and it just seems really heavy and dense for like EXTREME hydration which i need when i sometimes forget to moisturize my legs normally and it still doesn't absorb into the skin as well as i would like but this one doesn't feel the slightest bit sticky maybe because it seems creamier than the fruitier ones i don't know but i love this one for intense hydration and then the grapefruit one smells SOOOOOOO refreshing and mmmmm.... YUMMY!!! :D i use this in the morning after my shower and this just wakes me up and makes me feel fresh and clean.... even though i just had a shower??!! But yeah so i use that one to wake me up and make me feel clean and i have just fallen in love with these and i will definitely be purchasing more!!!! :)
So i hope you liked my review, haul, and skin sort of post i really loved purchasing these and telling you about them and i hope you loved to hear about my opinion so yeh :) i hope you have a lovely day/night and keep posted :D

Battle of the Anti-Frizz :)

So today I am going to do something on the hair side of beauty :)
Now i have always used a anti-frizz serum in my hair because it is thick and wavy and i have these little baby hairs ( their getting longer YAY) that go a bit frizzy sometimes and sometimes i feel like my hair is just a bit kinky so that's why i use them and for about 4/5 years i have used the L'Oreal Paris Elvive smooth intense anti-frizz serum with argan oil, and this made my hair non frizzy for most of the day and i use a pea sized amount, and massage this into my hair but not at the roots and this left my hair looking shiny non frizzy and it felt i don't really know how to explain i suppose clean but also rubbery??? But then when i ran out of that i went out to buy some more they were out so i purchased the herbal essences smooth lovin' non of your frizziness serum with anti-humidity technology instead and i fell completely in love with this it did all of the things that the L'Oreal one did but it didn't leave that rubbery texture and instead it left my hair feeling fresh and bouncy as well which was a bonus and it didn't take away the waves and curls form my hair which i LOVED so i went and purchased the shampoo and conditioner that goes along with it as well :) So i have found a new anti-frizz serum and i absolutely love it !!!!! i give the L'Oreal one a 4/5 and the herbal essence one definitely a 5/5 so i hope i helped you to conquer FRIZZINESS ..... lol sorry I'm weird but yeh i hope i helped you in some sort of way and stay posted for more posts later on this week and have a lovely day/night wherever you are in the world :)

Chi Chi Cosmetics Review :)

Hello everyone I'am finally getting back into the swing of posting regularly and i just sort of wanted to talk about this cosmetics brand called Chi Chi , i dont know of it's availability in other countries apart from Australia but if you know post it in the comments below or you can probably purchase their products online on sites like http://www.ebay.com/  but yeah i sort of wanted to do an overall review on the brand and their products as a whole so yeah ;) Basically in Australia i dont know if many of you know but makeup products are NOT cheap like products such as maybelline are roughly on average $25 here and this is exactly the same with Chi Chi i mean there not as expensive but their pretty up there for my budget as a teenager and i think they really try to target the products at teenagers and young adults with their vibrant packaging and names so that's a down point, but again a big pro is their cute names and packaging for their products with the really bright and fun colours i think everyone should own some of their products :) And the quality of these products is mostly good with some of their nail polishes they are streaky so they do have lots of hits and misses but they are mostly good all their eyeshadows have good pigmentation and they come in really great colours that i havent seen in many collections of other brands :) I love their eyeliners as again they are unusual and bright colours that i absolutely adore !!! <3 And another thing i love about them is their gift packs and sets they do really cool packs with mini eyeliners in all colours or sets of 12 mini polishes in neon colours these are just some examples and they do really fun and quirky packs to go with the season which i think is pretty good so yeh i think the only negative point about their brand is the cost and some of the hits and misses so yeah thats basically all if you want more info on this cosmetics brand check out their website: http://chichicosmetics.com/ so that's it for this review  have a lovely day/ night xoxo Claudz

Kink Cosmetics- Review and Haul :)

Hello everyone I'm sorry i have been away for sooo long but i just recently started up a blog with one of my best friends Jenna and it's called Magic Willow and if you want to go check that out here's the link : http://magicwillowmakeup.blogspot.com.au/

so now that's out of the way i wanted to do a sort of haul / review on the brand Kink now you can get this at your local grocery store (in Australia i know of) and they do eyeliners, nail polishes, eye-shadows, and lip glosses (I think that's all they sell if you know of anything else they sell and where you found them let me know in the comments ;) and for $5 at my local coles that is pretty cheap and they have been reduced to $2 so that's a BIG BONUS, but i really love their products i have tried them all and they are amazing the only thing i don't like are there lip lustre's i got mine in Bella and they just smell awful like seriously and you know when there on your lips and you can taste them sort of it is disgusting like seriously but other than that they are amazing and i love them a lot.I think these products are made in Brazil so you can probably find them there to I'm not too sure, now the packaging with these are sooo cute there very plain and simple but they come in these little bag things and i just think that's sooo unique that i love them sooo much so I'm going to put a list below of the other products that i bought from them and maybe some pictures as well :)

- Eye  liner - Charcoal

- Eye liner - Violetta 

- Nail polish - Hot hot hot

- Nail polish  - Peachy

- Eyeshadow - Espresso

I couldn't find any single pictures of these products and my photography is terrible so i found this picture of all there products :)

Have a lovely day/ night and keep posted

Review - Designer Brands Kabuki brush

heheh sorry had to add this in... :D

So i have a review for you and it's on the Designer Brands Kabuki brush - I'm not sure if you can purchase this brand in other countries though :( - Purchased in Western Australia.

This brush is made out of goat hair - which i don't really like because it's scratchy on your face and it came from an animal :( i didn't find out until after i had bought it though so yeh....

I do like the compact size of it though i think its really nice and can fit perfectly in your purse for any touch ups during the day, but it's also quite annoying as i cant hold it properly :) I also like the simple design of it though its sleek and plain but in a way that's good too so yeh.

I'm not sure if i like it yet or not it has some good things about it but also some bad so I'm sitting in the middle :) Thank-you for viewing this post and i hope you have a lovely day/night

BEAUTY TAG -would you rather

So here is the tag that i was meant to post last night but i ran out of time because i had to study but now that's out of the way i can do this tag and I'm not sure which one it is and what it's called but i got it off the internet :) so here goes:

1.) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lip glosses or lose all of your palettes and eye shadows? I would rather loose all my palettes and eye shadows because i CANNOT live with out my lip products and mascara and eyeliner are like 2 of my biggest loves in the whole world :)

2.) Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again? I would rather chop off all my hair because it can grow back and then when it does i can get frequent hair cuts again (I'm a thinker hehehe :)

3.) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek? This is hard but I would rather have a pink cheek because they suit me better i reckon... plus i love them sooo much :)

4.) If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup? I would definitely spend it all on make-up because it is my passion and a hobby and i just cannot live without it!!!!

5.) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick? Most likely eyeliner as lipstick now don't hate but i have done it before and also lipstick on your eyes is just WEIRD!!!

6.) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora? Well we don't have  Sephora's in Australia so M.A.C although I've heard Sephora has like everything but so does the internet so M.A.C :)

7.) Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life? Um 1 eyeshadow because lip colours change every season and they really make or break a look so yeh 1 eyeshadow :)

8.) Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter? Um Winter clothes in summer because we have this great invention called air con and you can take off layers.. in Summer you don't really have thick jumpers to layer on anyway :)

9.) Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round? BRIGHT NAILS because they are gorgeous and fun and bubbly and happy :D

10.) Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product? AAAAAHHHHHHH this is the hardest question of my LIFE um not sure can i pass??? but if i really had to i would give up my favourite eyeshadow and buy one in a different colour.. i would NEVER give up any of my lip products EVER!!!!!!!

11.) Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun? Ponytail because you can do so many ponytail style but with a bun it's just a bun...

12.) Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip gloss? never be able to paint my nails again because there's always white out... lol jks i wouldn't use that :)

13.) Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday? um sharpie them in because i would look terrible with no eyebrows not being offensive or anything but yeh

14.) Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish? live without ........... um this is sooo hard why did this have to be a question......... i think nail polish because my make up collection has taken me years to build and i haven't had nail polish for that long and plus i prefer makeup to nails anyway :D

DONE!!!!! YAY anyways i hope you liked this tag and i will talk later. thankyou for viewing me !!!!!! And have a great day/night

xoxo Claudz

My Mac Blushes

So these are my M.A.C blushes and I've included swatches so you know what they look like but i only have a few so don't get too excited :)

Well Dressed

1. Well Dressed - This is one of my most reached for blushers - it really is a beautiful pale pink with the slightest amount of sheen. I am a in the middle of light to medium skin tone and it suits me perfectly. You don't need to be an expert to apply this, it is build-able and blends well.

Pinch O' Peach

2. Pinch O' Peach - I use this as one of my everyday blush for school. I got to a private girls school and makeup is banned. Yet, most girls including me wear it anyway. This blush is matte and a peachy-pink natural shade that is similar to my natural flush. It doesn't last ALL day on me but very close. I would repurchase as it is a mid-range brand therefore affordable for a high school student and is everything I need in an everyday blush.

Fleur Power

3. Fleur Power - It's a coral pink satin almost matte colour which is quite bright and pigmented. It shows up easily on my skin and gives a warm bright coral pink glow on my face. Despite the little sparkles on the pan, I hardly find any glitter when it's on my face. When applied, I almost feel it's matte. Its very long lasting  but it's a bit too pigmented. You really need to use it with a light hand. And I think it's a gorgeous colour for medium skin tones.

Peony Petal

4. Peony Petal - I bought this blush to go with my cool toned make-up looks.  a lot of the times cool toned blushes don't look too great on my complexion but this one is amazing. Beautiful bright barbie cool toned pink.And it has great pigmentation.

from left to right is goes Well Dressed, Fleur power, Pinch O' Peach, and Peony Petal
