"Supermodel in a bottle"

I recently purchased Benefit High Beam and am loving it!
Benefit claims: "Want to Benefit from the secret of make up artists? Listen up. High Beam creates that natural dewy glow that the catwalk boasts. It’s a soft pink sheen that creates a young, fresh complexion on all skin tones.
This supermodel in a bottle, otherwise known as High Beam, is one hush-hush that Benefit could not keep to themselves. Now that the soft focus, enticing and sexy sheen is here you’re just one step away from achieving super gorgeous status"

This is how I use High Beam:
♥ To start, using the brush applicator, I place some dots/stripes on my left & right temples. Then, I swipe a stripe down the bridge of my nose. Next, on each cheekbone, I draw three little dots on each cheek & I finish off with a small dot on my chin.
♥  I usually do all of this on top of foundation and powder as the last part of my face routine.
♥ To finish, I blend with my fingertips in an upward, outward motion until it's completely absorbed into my skin ensuring I can no longer see any visible lines or edges.
Additional uses:
♥ For an all over glow, you can mix a small amount of high beam with your moisturiser
♥ Apply as on brow bone as perfect brow highlighter
♥ Dab a little on the cupid’s bow of your lips for an even sexier pout 

The finished result:
Haha OK I don't think I can quite claim my supermodel status straight away because of High Beam but I still love the dewy glow this product gives me ;)

2x Sydney FOTN $

I had some fabulous nights in Sydney. I thought I would share 2x FOTN (face of the nights) with you from my weekend! 

On Saturday night my friend Emma hosted an Easter Cocktail Tea Party at her house. Us girls made some yummy concoctions with spirits, champagne & mixers and served them in a mix of cute teapots. After a few drinks we had a mad run around the house hunting for easter eggs & afterwards hit the clubs and dance floors in Kings Cross. It was a really fun night! Thanks again Em for being such a fantastic hostess :)

I also did Emma's eye make up that night;  using MAC woodwinked & carbon eyeshadows. Doesn't she have the most amazing (all real) eyelashes?  Jealous ;)
