Easter spring cleaning

Hey chickens,

Earlier this week (like Tuesday and Wednesday) I have been giving my room a very detailed clean (not that my room was messy) and just organising everything. Your probably thinking, Emma what does this have anything to do with Easter. Well.... In America it is currently Spring and I read on some website that they give their house a 'Spring clean' in the Spring (I don't know if that is true or not). Even though it's Autumn in Australia I thought, right lets give my room a clean and that's the back story to this blogpost.

Basically this blogpost will be what I did when I was Spring/Autumn cleaning and how you can do some Spring/Autumn cleaning.

What I thought I would start off with was getting every thing organised before actually cleaning. I put things into piles of their category before I decided what to do with them. Once each item had been put into a pile, I put each category into a shoe box and then I put those shoe boxes into a box that I had all of the items in before. 

I am totally the type of person that likes little knick-knacks so instead of just trying to put them into places I took all of my knick-knacks and sorted out which ones went with what. Then I added them into my little decoration things around my room. I also put a few special ones on my bed side table.

This next thing is something that I should actually do on a regular basis and that is cleaning all the lids and stuff of my makeup because heaps of product can get around the part you squeeze it out of and its a bit disgusting. I also cleaned my makeup brushes because they were due for a clean. 

I also organised all of my vanity and made sure that everything was back in its place because it was looking a bit tragic.

All of my stationary was sorted through- making sure that all of my pens, highlighters etc were working and all my pencils were sharpened. I went through my random pieces of paper (which were sorted out) and my notepads got neatly put away

For the cleaning part I just mostly cleaned while I was organising but I just made sure that everything was neat, tidy and in it's place.  

A few months ago I went through all of my clothes and donated so many of them so I didn't donated anymore clothes but I would suggested going through your clothes because there are always a few items that you know you haven't worn in months or don't fit anymore.  

Tips for Spring Cleaning-

• Don't try and squish things into places- it just makes the area look too stressful 
• Put your items into categories 
• When going through your clothes don't say to yourself, oh I'll save this for going out because you never do end up wearing it
• Think to yourself have I worn this in the last 2 months when you are sorting through your clothes
• Don't try and made your space cluttered
•  When your using a box, label it 
• Don't try and fit to many things into a box

Also have fun while your Spring cleaning. Don't make it stressful because them you became stressed and it's not fun. Also don't try and fit it into one day, give yourself some time to do it properly.

Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thank-you all so much for reading this blogpost, it means so much to me and all of your support is actually amazing. I just love anything and everything you do. I'm hoping you enjoyed this post, I just thought I would made it, comment down below if you liked it. I love you all to the Moon and back but until next time, bye

Product Review- Rimmel March launches

Hey Chickens,
Now, I got sent these three products from Rimmel about two or three weeks ago and have not had the time to write this blogpost but that did mean I had a while to test them out. The three products that I received were the Scandal Eyes Reloaded waterproof mascara, the Brow This Way eyebrow styling gel and the Waterproof Scandal Eyes Bold Liquid liner.

Scandal Eyes Reloaded Waterproof Mascara-

 I love the original Scandal Eyes Reloaded mascara so I was very happy to try out the waterproof version. This mascara I love just as much. It applies nicely on your eyelashes and doesn't get clumpy on your eyelashes. The mascara wand is only a tad slimmer than the original Scandals Eyes Reloaded. The mascara has up to 24 hour wear, I don't know if it does last up to 24 hours because I haven't had a reason to wear mascara for 24 hours but it does last up to 12 hours. The mascara doesn't come off when water is applied so it is actually waterproof and it does come off with a normal makeup remover very easily. I used three different products to see how the mascara come off. First I tried make-up removing wipes and they worked quite good, I didn't have to rub my eye and majority of the mascara came off. Using a normal makeup remover liquid work really good, but using a makeup remover that was especially for waterproof mascara worked best.

Brow This Way Eyebrow Styling Gel-

Quick little story about this paragraph. I wrote about 8 or 9 lines about this product and was happy with what I wrote, then my laptop decided to start highlighting things and so I started to click and delete basically the whole paragraph. I hate technology ;)
I love this product. Now, Rimmel already has this product but they are re-releasing it because they have now added in argain oil into the product. I don't know what the original product was like but the version with argain oil gives you such a natural look on your eyebrows. If you are like me and like your eyebrows to look more on the natural side this product would be good to try because if you just use this gel your eyebrows look a lot more natural than using a powder. Also you can build the gel up with powder and gel in a pot and that is what I like to do because I personally like how it looks. This product does have quite a thick wand/applier thing so it's more suitable for people with thicker brows, but you could still use the gel if you had thinner brows. This gel is very easy to remover with any type of makeup remover.

Scandal Eyes Bold Liquid Liner-

I have no idea if Rimmel London already has this product or if it is a new one, so sorry if you needed or wanted that information. Basically, I'm horrible at eyeliner, I can not do it but I hadn't tried a liquid liner so when I got this I was like, oh, I might be able to do eyeliner now. The little nob (I couldn't think of another word for it) does make it very easy for beginners or people like me that or horrible at eyeliner. But nah, seriously it does make it easier than using a felt tip (again, I can't think of words tonight) or pencil eyeliner. The eyeliner is waterproof and you do have to let it dry for around 5 minutes but after that it is waterproof and it comes off with no trouble at all using any type of makeup remover. It stains very easily on clothes so be careful when applying- I learnt that the hard way :). The liquid liner claims to last up to 24 hours but I can't say if that is true or not because I've only worn it at home when I'm playing around with makeup.

I just want to quickly add this into the blogpost. I'm honestly annoyed with myself that I'm not getting blogposts up, like this is a goal for my in April because I love blogging so much and I do not want to neglect this blog at all and in no means do I want to stop blogging. I'm currently on holidays and I'm planning on having a day tomorrow of writing blogposts because I have about 25 blogpost ideas on the notes app on my phone.
Apart from that, how has everyone been? I hope you have all been good. Right now, for the people that are in school, you are either on school holidays or this is your last week of Term 1. If you are on school holidays, I hope you are enjoying them, if this is your last week of term, you only have 2 days left so power through.

Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thank-you all so much for reading this blogpost and for your awesome support, I'm so grateful for anything you do. Also thank-you to Rimmel London for sending me these products. Hopefully you enjoyed this blogpost, I'm not to sure if these products are available yet but I do recommend all of them. I love you all to Mars and back but until next time, bye

Melbourne Flower Show 2017

Hey chickens,

So yesterday I went to the Melbourne Flower show and I had a really nice day so I thought why not make a blogpost on it to share with you guys. If you don''t happened to know what the Flower show is it's basically an event in the Carlton Gardens and it has all pretty flowers and stalls with plants flowers and garden decoration and tools for sale. Then in the Royal Exhibition Building they have dresses that people have made out of flowers and little displays that people have made out of flowers.

In the Royal Exhibition Building they had all of these small little displays that I personally found very cute. I had about 4 or 5 that I really liked but I thought I would only share 2 with you guys because I have a few photos that I wanted to share.

 Also sorry that the pictures have a bit of a funny colour to them it was the lighting in the building and my phone just didn't really like each other so yeah.


The first display I really like because it's just really pretty even though it has like a feel of a messy old garden, it's put in a way where it looks right. The reason why I like the second one is because of the really bright purple and yellow flowers, plus its a bloody taco. Like it's a flower taco. who couldn't like that.



Than they had this achievable garden section and as pretty as the garden designs were they were not very achievable. There was one garden and I didn't get a photo of it but it was just a bunch of plants everywhere. They had this Japanese garden that I really like and I got this nice photo of a little display in the garden. They also had a hobbit hole, like come on, it was really cool and I love it. The person that already created the garden had a sword from the Hobbit/ Lord of the rings and the ring. Another garden that they had that I liked had stones leading up to like a chair made out of sticks.

  

Then the next few photos are just kinda random things. I saw these very pretty purple and white flowers on display. Than inside the building there was this display of these small red roses hanging from something and I loved it. Then I saw this massive display of pumpkins that I loved because who doesn't like pumpkins. Than I got a new best friend- Mr pigeon. I also saw these weird stick insect things and honestly I don't understand how people could walk around like that all day.

Also just quickly a funny story about the day. Basically I thought it would it would be a good idea to wear these 2-3 cm heeled boots. They aren't actually heels but they are boots that have a pretty big heel for me. My feet were so sore from wearing these boots all day and my feet are still kind of sore now the next day but yeah, one of the worst ideas I've had in my life.

Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thank-you so much for reading this blogpost, I really do hope you enjoyed it. I'm so sorry for not posting a blogpost in ages but thank-you for the support that you have continued to still give me, you're all just bloody awesome. I love you all to Saturn and back but until next time, bye

Real Techniques review

Hey chickens,
Today I am going to be reviewing the Real Techniques brushes. I actually only have two of their brushes so I'll be basing my opinions just on them but I do want to try more brushes from them. Anyway, enough rambling, lets get started.

The two brushes I own from them are the blush brush and the foundation brush. This goes for both of the brushes but when you wash them they still hold their shape once they're dry. I like the size of the handles for both of them and I know it sounds stupid but sometimes make-up brushes are too big and I find that these ones are just the right size.
The colour pay-off that you get on these brushes are quite good. The foundation brush is not good for blending in your foundation but if you want to spread it out all over your face, it works well for that. The blush brush has pretty good colour pay-off but it could be better in my opinion. I feel like more of the blush stays on the brush than going on my face.
The quality of these brushes are good. I have had these brushes since December last year and they aren't shedding or anything and have keep their shape after been washed 2 or 3 times.
The blush brush is quite soft, it does feel nice on the face and isn't scratchy. The foundation brush isn't really soft because the brush is meant to be hard but it does also feel nice on the face and again doesn't have a scratchy feel on the face.

Overall I think these brushes are quite nice. They are not my favourite brand for make-up brushes and honestly I don't love them as much as other people do. They are fairly expensive brushes and I do think that they price mostly matches the quality but I also think Elf's brushes are just as good and they are like $3 dollars. I do want to try more of their brushes and when I get some more I'll do an updated review. I do like their brushes though, don't get me wrong about that I do like the brushes and they blend your product really nicely.

Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thank-you so much for reading this blogpost, it means a lot to me and all of your support is just fantastic. I do hope that you enjoyed this post, maybe you have some Real Techniques brushes and if you do comment down below your opinion on them. I love you all to Jupiter and back but until next time, bye

Moomba 2017

Hey chickens,
So yesterday I went to Moomba. Now, if you don't know what Moomba is, it is a big festival in Melbourne that happens every Labour day weekend, along the Yarra river and its free and it has rides and games; it's kinda like the Melbourne Show. I had such a nice day yesterday and I thought I would take some pictures and put them in a blogpost for you so I could share my day.

I walked around Moomba for a bit and just had a look to see what they had so I didn't take any pictures but then I sat under this big tree that gave a lot of shade (if you were in Melbourne yesterday, you would know that it was quite hot) and I took some pictures for myself because I like photography and I also took some random pictures of my legs and feet because why not. I also found this weird green thing and I have no idea what it is, I'll have a picture down below but if you know what it is please comment.

                                                                                   

 Then I got these two little samples of these apple juices which I saw everyone with them but omg. These juices were so nice, I absolutely loved them, I actually got a full sized of the pink juice later on and it was really expensive (in my opinion) but I thought it was worth it. I didn't actually have a Bickfords old style creamy soda yesterday, but hands down, they are actually like my favourite drink ever.

Then I walked around for a bit more, and I of course got some shots of the Ferris wheel. I went on the

Dodgems (or Crazy cars as they called them), the rock n roll which is one of my favourite rides, the sky flyer and the ghost train that they had and honestly, it was not nice on my heart. I was also going to go on the Crazy coaster but it was closed. I also had a go on the clowns, and I'm so bad at those games but I can't help myself and I got a rubric cube as my prize and my god, I have been trying to get this combination basically since I got it. 

Then I went for a walk along the Yarra to find something for lunch and if you live in Melbourne you might know about this place, I only just discovered it today but it's called Southgate and it was heaps of little foods shops in there. While I was walking along the Yarra I saw someone dressed up playing on instrument so I thought you guys might be interested. 

After spending some more time at Moomba, I went over to Flinders street station and I had to go get some lollies from the Sugar Station. If you do not know what the Sugar Station is or have not been there before, I highly suggest you do because they have really nice tasting lollies but they are kinda expensive depending on how many you get. 

 Coming close to the end of the night, I treated myself and got some cheesy nuggets from Red Roaster and a coke spider from Maccas. This is honestly they best combo, I love both of them quite a lot and haven't had either of them in a while.

If you were wondering, no I did not go to Moomba by myself. I went with my mum and had such a lovely day. I'm not trying to show off, I honestly just wanted to share my day with you guys.
Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thank-you so much for reading this post, it means so much to me and all of your support means the world to me and so do you. Hopefully you enjoyed this post, I hope that you are having a nice labour day weekend if you live in Australia and if you are/did go to Moomba, I hope you have/had a nice time. I love you all to Saturn and back but until next time, bye

Makeup- My first reaction

Hey chickens,

Now the title of this blogpost will probably make no sense to you but I didn't really know how else to put it. So basically what I was trying to put in the title is that I'm going to take makeup (High end or low end) that I don't own and give my first impressions on it. I will take reviews out of that I've seen and just what my opinion is on them without trying them. Also, because I don't know to much about copyright, I'm not going to be putting pictures of the products in but I will leave some links for the products.

Too Faced Sweet Peach eye-shadow palette-

This palette looks so pretty. It has some really nice peachy colours, bronzes and neutral colours. I feel like this palette would be good for all year round and that it's a palette that has different types of colours so you could get so much use out of it for different looks. From what the description is on Mecca, it has some matte shades and some shimmer shades. I don't know how strong the peach scent of it is, but I reckon the scent wouldn't be that strong. The packaging of this palette is so cute, it's like ombre orange and it has little pictures of peaches on it.

Urban Decay Vice lipstick
I think that there are 100 of these lipstick so for the purpose of the blogpost I've chosen a couple of colours to focus on just so its a bit easier than giving my impression on 100 lipsticks. The first lipstick that I think is really pretty is in the shade 'Criminal'. This lipstick is meant to be matte and actually its called a comfortable matte which I do have some matte lipsticks in my collection and they are quite drying and don't feel very well comfortable so I'm just going to go out on a limb and say that these matte lipsticks are comfortable. The colour of Criminal looks like a dusty rose. The second shade is 'Disobedient'. This shade is very similar to Criminal but Disobedient looks a few shades darker. This lipstick has a cream finish and honestly, I don't know what a cream finish is but I imagine that its quite and quite moisturising. both lipsticks look like they have great pigmentation from the swatches I've seen and the packaging is very sophisticated.

Australis Show some cheek blush-
I have seen this blushes in shop and done some swatches on my hand so I have a bit more information that is a fact. I personally prefer the colours 'Dreamy' and 'Cameo'. Dreamy is more of a coral pink and its just a really pretty blush colour. When I swatch it, it was a peachy, coral pink and honestly I thought it was very pretty. Cameo is the complete opposite. It is more pink and the swatch I got of it was more of like a mauve. All the colours look like very natural blush colours except for the colour 'Sinful'. It's looks like a fairly dark pink and I am quite pale so dark blush, contour and highlight colours don't look the best on my skin.

Just to quickly add before I finish up this post, this is my 200 post. Like honestly, I probably post way too many blogposts but oh well, I love posting for you guys. I have been thinking about doing a giveaway so if you guys want that let me know
Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thank-you so much for reading this post and for you fantastic support, it is truely amazing. I will try and come up with a different name for these types of blogposts but yeah. Hopefuly you enjoyed this post, maybe you even own some of these products. I love you all to the Moon and back but until next time, bye
