MAC Face chart - Bonus Beat =

Today I created a look inspired by the below face chart MAC did for its Heatherette collection.

Because I didn't have all the same products, I improvised :)

Here is my Bonus Beat FOTD:

♥ Face:

Studio Fix Fluid & Powder in NC20
MAC MSF Sunny by Nature Bronzer
Chi Chi - Love Machine (blush)

♥ Eyes:

MAC Rubenesque Paint pot (base)
MAC Grain (brow highlight)

MAC Jardin Aires Pigment (all over lid)

MAC Crochet (crease)

MAC Shale (lower lashline)

MAC Smolder eyeliner (upper lashline)
MAC Zoom Lash Mascara

♥ Lips:

L'Oreal Color Riche Star Secret #708
Forever 21, clear lip gloss

I quite like the peachy, gold lid &  purple lower lash line combo! What do you think?

Pump up the volume

Want to pump up the volume on your hair without weighing it down? Then look no further...Aveda Volumizing Tonic is here to help!

The tonic comes in a glass spray bottle, and it can be used on wet or dry hair to add instant volume. 

The problem I find with my hair is that it is quite fine & thin but then I have LOTS of it. Because my hair is pretty long these days, all this hair just makes it flat at the top and weighs it down :(

I have tried many volumizing mousses & root lifting sprays in the past but found they always made my hair so stiff, sticky and dirty!
Aveda Volumizing Tonic is better than anything I have tried before! It gives me great volume (at the roots) & does not make my hair feel sticky at all.

How do I use it? After washing my hair I "rough-dry" it upside down by using a blow dryer and my  fingers until it's about 70% dry.
I then lift sections of my hair and spray the tonic onto the roots. I use a round brush and my blow dryer or hands to further enhance the volume.

And there you have it; beautiful, full, smooth, va va voom hair! Love it ♥

My 5 cents...

Hey ladies,

I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend! I didn't get a lot of chance for blogging this weekend because I had my mum's cousins visiting Wellington & staying with me in my apartment. 


OMG so sorry but I need to have a little rant! I know this is probably old news to a lot of people but I finally got round to watching the Bachelor finale where Jake chooses between Vienna and Tenley and proposes to the love of his life.....which is Vienna???!! 

Like wtf that was soooo the wrong choice;  I loved Tenley and thought she was so much better for him than Vienna. I don't think they'll last very long! Haha anyways that was my 5 cents on that, what did you think?
