Sponsored by Tarazz Earlier this year I placed my very first Tarazz order of Sephora products. After being introduced to the cosmetic powerhouse in New York last year I couldn’t wait to get my hands on more goodies, especially at very reasonable prices compared to Australia’s overpriced counters. Fragrances, skincare, make up… it’s all there. [...]

Towards the end of last year one of my friends who works for Tarazz.com.au told me a little secret… that they would become the platform for shipping Sephora products to Australia! For people in the know, for people who have stepped inside Sephora’s glossy doors of awesomeness this was HUGE news. Do you have any [...]

Stephanie was moping around the house earlier today, complaining of boredom. It was hot outside and we were both too lazy to actually go out and do something so I grabbed the outdoor umbrella, a couple of tables, cushions and rugs and set up a little lazy girl party in the backyard just for the [...]

I hope you guys enjoyed this week’s Aussie Curve’s post where I reviewed my new activewear from Virtu and shared that it’s ok to “break the rules”, that you can be attractive whilst you’re active. Today I wanted to talk to you about the things I love to use for a workout. The gym is [...]

Today I somehow remembered (in between doing the laundry and ordering last minute business cards) that I needed to get my eyebrows and lashes done so I called my lady in a panic. Rachel from Celeste Visage (in South Windsor NSW) is an absolute doll and always fits me in. We have boys the same age [...]

Last week I was feeling pretty miserable, gross and unapologetically sick so to drag myself out of my funk I decided to put my face on and get out there… even if it was only to the post office. I thought it might inspire others to do the same so when you’re feeling “blah” like [...]

A lot of people asked me to do a video tutorial showing how I do my winged eyeliner. As usual, a disclaimer: I’m not a qualified make up artist. This is just a representation of how I do what I do, the products I use and how I personally use them. Enough hoo-harr… time for [...]

As I explained earlier this week, the photoshoot experience with GM Photographics was pretty awesome. Everyday that went past waiting for the finished images to arrive was torture but they were worth the wait. The session and prints were a gift for me to review so I was so excited to see how they’d turn [...]

Before I left for New York I was treated to something very special, a Portrait Couture session with GM Photographics. Now lets get real here, I’m not camera shy and I’ve done my fair share of professional and amateur photo shoots but this was probably one of the most comfortable and relaxing ones I’ve done. [...]

Mummy Beauty Fashion Blogger

12:38PM | July 6, 2012 | 21 comments

I get asked all the time to sum up my blog into one category. Am I a beauty blogger, a fashion blogger or a mummy blogger? To be honest I kind of resent the fact that I have to “fit in” anywhere. I’m confident enough to believe that I’m unique and coined the term “Vanity [...]
