There's coffee, maple syrup, oats...every scent you would expect at a brekky for a sweet tooth. It's a sweet, but still very refreshing and crisp scent. I seriously can't tell you how delicious it smells!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It doesn't just smell great, because it's an exfoliating scrub it leaves my skin feeling super smooth. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I seriously am obsessed with it and it's only $14 from Mecca Maxima in Australia.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have an obsession with sunglasses. I have far too many, so I don't know exactly why I bought this pair to be honest. My favourite pair was scratched on the lenses so much so that I found it difficult to see out of them (I still have them, by the way). However, I have so many additional pairs that I really didn't need to buy another one...but I did.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To be fair, they weren't expensive. They were only $10 (from Cosmetics Plus if you're looking). I love the gold-plated bits and the shape is a little more adventurous than some of my other pairs. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This has become my new favourite pair. They're multi-seasonal, so I can wear them all year round and they do there job of blocking sun rays superbly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With all the hype around Charlotte Tilbury's new Matte Revolution Lipsticks (and matte lips in general) I thought I would provide a cheaper alternative that I have absolutely been loving lately. :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For a very long time, I have been a huge fan Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte Lipsticks by Kate Moss. These aren't a new product, and I know that every beauty blogger and their dog have blogged about them, even I've already blogged about them <a href="http://laurennajade.blogspot.com.au/2014/09/my-favourite-drug-store-lipsticks.html">here</a>. The colours are so ridiculously pigmented and absolutely beautiful. As you will know from my previous blog posts, I am a <i>huge </i>fan of matte lips, and I find that these particular Rimmel lipsticks are fantastic for achieving a gorgeous matte finish.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My most recent colour purchase is number 103, which is a pink shade that is natural, but also quite rich in colour...it almost has a light berry tinge. (I'm not too great at describing colours, so hopefully the pictures can give you a little more insight!) It leaves my lips feeling moisturised, which is a great feature for a matte lipstick. It's the perfect shade for an everyday look, but can double as a night-out lipstick as the tone is so rich. The colour payoff is fantastic and it is also super buildable.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Kate Moss for Rimmel lipsticks come in so many other colours and are so inexpensive for such a great quality product. I would definitely recommend them if you're trying matte lipstick for the first time, or if you are looking for a matte lipstick that's a little less painful for your purse!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My camera doesn't do the deep red colour justice (sorry!). I personally am a huge fan of matte lips, but I love the shine in this lipstick. I've never used a NYX lipstick before, so I am quite impressed with the results. Especially seeing as it was about $7.00!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am beyond impressed with this foundation. The tiniest amount gives me fantastic coverage and it really does last for 25 hours...or at least a really, really long time! Just a word of warning though, don't squeeze the tube. I squeezed the tube so lightly the first time I used it and ended up with foundation all over the back of my hand. I just dab it on the back of my hand a few times and enough comes out of the tube for my whole face. </span></div>

Okay, I just have to take a moment to express my love for O.P.I nail laquer. This stuff is <i>amazing</i>. There are so many different colours for all year round and the quality is incredible. <div>The colour I always revert back to is Privacy Please. (Ah, nail polish colour names...you will never fail to amuse me). It's a really pretty, pastel pink colour that is very faint and very girlie. For me, it's the perfect colour for school, particularly a school where nail polish isn't allowed to be worn. </div><div>This colour is also great if you're a nail biter (like me). It's so faint and nearly undetectable, so it's perfect for those in between phases when you've reverted to going back to biting your nails again. I'm not going to lie, I discovered this colour looking for something that was going to make me stop biting my nails...and it actually really helps. I tend to pick the nail polish off instead of biting my nails, so it gives my nails a bit of a respite before I get stressed or nervous and start nibbling away at them again. </div><div>The bottle lasts an incredibly long time. You may think that if I apply it and pick it off straightaway that I must go through bottles and bottles of the stuff. Nope! I haven't even been through one bottle yet. It lasts <i>forever</i>! </div><div><br></div><div>xo Laurenna Jade</div><div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div></div><div><br></div>Lauren Conwayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06367233310194770828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408118640232605588.post-37899170625717036942014-09-09T01:53:00.000-07:002014-09-09T06:02:42.609-07:00Which Eyeliner?<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ36D-PDAAA-63x5DwEjwnxDI8BMAJEVYno15YBMIjEXDlloGYoQ_qpX0gnqsN8a8aQG8Azx-jaUOp3Yyx-YywEcpXhdJciOvQQSdStM3IGb8_w-3ts1tn1jCp3-8mm99GTfGaI5HsrGo/s640/blogger-image-169207129.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ36D-PDAAA-63x5DwEjwnxDI8BMAJEVYno15YBMIjEXDlloGYoQ_qpX0gnqsN8a8aQG8Azx-jaUOp3Yyx-YywEcpXhdJciOvQQSdStM3IGb8_w-3ts1tn1jCp3-8mm99GTfGaI5HsrGo/s640/blogger-image-169207129.jpg"></a></div><div><br></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello there! I get asked a lot about the differences between types of eyeliners, so I thought I would share with you which eyeliners I use and what I find they are best to use for :)</span><div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Liquid Eyeliner</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I absolutely love liquid eyeliner. I swear by it, although can be very tricky to use, particularly if you are new to makeup. However, it is much easier to achieve a nice, clean line with liquid, especially if you are doing a winged or cat eye. It has a nice, sharp look when applied that is perfect for both everyday wear or a night time event or party. Compared to other forms of eyeliner, it is definitely a lot easier to work with for those intricate flicky lines. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gel Eyeliner</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif">I love gel eyeliner. For those of you who aren't familiar with gel eyeliners, they generally come as a little pot of gel and you use an eyeliner brush to apply it. Most gel eyeliners come with their own brush, but I find it easier to apply it with an angled or patented liner brush. It's a bit tricky to master a cat flick with this eyeliner (for me anyway), but it is perfect for a bold everyday look if you're just looking to line your eye and give it a bit more definition. It is also great for a night out, as you can easily apply a thicker, bolder line. I like to apply gel eyeliner just in the outer corner of my top lid to open my eye a bit more for an understated, everyday look. </font></div><div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif">Eyeliner Pencil</font></div><div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif">This is a staple. However, I find eyeliner pencils a bit temperamental. It takes a bit of hunting to find one that you really like. I have found that some pencils can actually be quite sharp, but I know there are brands that have <i>amazing</i> eyeliner pencils. I have heard only good things about Urban Decay's Glide On eyeliner pencils, but I have yet to purchase some for myself. If you are doing your waterline or you just want a light, subtle everyday look, eyeliner pencil is for you. </font></div><div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif">Crayon Eyeliners</font></div><div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif">The first eyeliner I ever used was a crayon. Basically, you roll it up (just like a crayon) and then apply. I would recommend that if you're new to makeup, or you just want a really simple, easy to apply eyeliner, invest in a crayon eyeliner. You don't have to sharpen them, you just roll them up, and they go on really smoothly and easily. Simple!</font></div><div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif">xo Laurenna Jade</font></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hi everyone! These are my top 5 favourite drug store lipsticks. If you have any suggestions of other lipsticks I should try, or that you think people should know about, please leave a comment below. :) xx</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Oh, and these are in no particular order...although I like the Chi Chi one the best ;)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Maybelline New York Super Stay 14 hr Lipstick</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When they say Super Stay, they mean Super Stay. If you're looking for a lipstick that lasts a ridiculously long time without smudging or bleeding, this is for you. I actually wore this to my school formal (or prom) and I was so happy with the results. It lasts <i>forever, </i>particularly if you use the Maybelline New York Super Stay 14 hr Lip Liner. A cool trick to make your lipstick last even longer is to apply your lip liner all over your lip instead of just around the edge. I have this lipstick in the colour Ravishing Rouge, which is number 065. It's a really bright, vivid red, which is very bold and perfect for a night out (or a formal!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Maybelline New York Colour Whisper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Another Maybelline lipstick, and another goody. The colour whisper is nice and light and gives you a "whisper" of colour (get it ;) haha). I find that this lipstick is really great for everyday wear, particularly in the colour I have which is Mad for Magenta (number 95). It's a really pretty, girlie pink. This lipstick has a glossy finish, which I love. I usually like to go for a matte lip, but I just really like this lipstick. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Chi Chi Viva La Diva </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I. Love. Chi Chi. I was introduced to them by a friend of mine who bought me a birthday present when I was thirteen or fourteen. It was a really cool beach set with a huge pink tote, a beach towel and a can of spray tan and I have loved them ever since. This lipstick is no exception. I could rave about the Viva La Diva collection for hours. The packaging is so cute, the colours are amazing and the lipstick is sooo good! I love You Had Me At Hello, which is a really bright coral colour. It's so vivid and every time I wear it, I'm complimented on it, which has to be a good thing haha!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's sometimes hard to find these at drug stores, but if you can't find it, Target has a whole Chi Chi section :).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mud</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I don't really own anything else by this brand. I picked up this lipstick in my local supermarket for about $2.00 (don't quote me on that, but it was very, very cheap) and I really like it. It usually sits in my handbag for on the go touch-ups to my makeup. It's very similar to the Colour Whisper, in that it is perfect for an everyday look, but the Mud lipstick has more of a shimmer in it. I have it in the colour Crazed Candy, which is number 052. I really like this colour. Again, it's a nice fresh, flirty, girlie pink.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Rimmel London Kate</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These lipsticks are <i>amazing</i>. I had an incredible hot pink one (I think it was number 20 or 25), but I've lost it *tear*. I used to wear it everywhere. I would honestly wear hot pink lipstick to go grocery shopping because I loved it so much. Every single colour is fabulous, except I find that number 113, which is a really pretty nude colour, goes on a bit chalky unless you put masses of it on. It also doesn't last very long and you have to keep reapplying every five minutes, which isn't very fun. But every other colour that I've tried has been absolutely amazing and I would definitely recommend investing in some of these. They are fantastic.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hi beautiful people! I know that during high school
you can get quite self-conscious about your skin, and there are a lot of high
schools that don’t allow makeup (I know the struggle, mine is one of them). I’m
graduating in a couple of months, so I just thought I would share with you some
secrets and tips I’ve learn throughout high school that have helped me feel
more confident about my appearance. So here’s how to wear makeup without
actually looking like you’re wearing makeup.<span style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 1:<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> <b>Wear
a tinted moisturizer</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Preferably one with an SPF rating that is quite high,
particularly if you’re living in a sunny country like Australia for example
(like me!) Although a tinted moisturizer only provides light coverage and isn’t
going to cover up nasty pimples, it does even out skin tone and cover up small
blemishes. I personally use the Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream Tinted Moisturizer
in the shade light to medium. It’s got SPF15 and comes in a line of other
products by Olay, such as a facial cleanser and exfoliating cleanser, which I
also use. So, it moisturizes your skin, provides a light, everyday coverage and
protects your beautiful face from the sun. Double thumbs up. Of course, any
other tinted moisturizer that you would prefer to use or are already currently
using is just as great. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Pimples. We’ve all had them. They’re nasty, bright red
and sometimes very, very painful. So in accordance with using face scrubs and
pimple creams and sometimes even ice for those nasty blind pimples (it’s a
Godsend, believe me. It reduces inflammation, redness and pain), there are ways
in which you can go about covering up those nasty blemishes. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Green concealer may look intimidating, but it works
wonders when it comes to getting rid of redness. I personally use the
Maybelline Cover Stick in the colour green and I find that it works really
well. It’s a little difficult to blend sometimes, but you have to put a skin
coloured product over it anyway (unless you want a green pimple instead of a
red one), so it doesn’t really matter all that much. I then use the Maybelline
Cover Stick in skin colour, but if you have a concealer that you regularly use,
dab that on over the top of the green and blend, blend, blend.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 3:<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b> Use
an eyelash curler</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you’ve never used one of these, it can be more
intimidating than green concealer, but I promise it is so simple. Just be
careful not to pinch your actual eyelid (speaking from experience, it’s not
pleasant). <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Curling your eyelashes makes them look longer. After
I’ve curled them, I apply my normal mascara and then curl them again. Make sure
you don’t press the curler together for too long when you have mascara already
applied because you can snap your eyelashes. Be very, very careful. I usually
only apply mascara on the top lashes for school, because I find that it’s way
more noticeable if I put it on the bottom lashes as well.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If your school has a particularly serious makeup
policy, I would suggest investing in some clear mascara. That way, you won’t
get any smudging throughout the day and it won’t even look like you’re wearing
mascara. Magic!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b> Fill
in your eyebrows</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Okay, so this one is for those people who are really
self-conscious about their eyebrows like me. If you are blessed with beautiful
eyebrows, skip this step. But, if you are like me and have ratty eyebrows (one
of mine even has a bald patch) then keep reading.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Obviously, if you draw your eyebrows and make them
really dramatic and scary, people will notice. Even if you make them thicker or
make the arch a different shape, your teacher’s will be a bit suspicious. What
I mean by filling in your eyebrows is just defining them a bit more and making
them look a bit less raggedy. For example, I fill in the aforementioned bald
patch because that is embarrassing and weird and, let’s face it, I’m
self-conscious about it and don’t really want people pointing it out or
noticing. I use the Ardell eyebrow palette. I could rave about this product for
the rest of this blog post, I just love it. It comes with two eyebrow brushes,
one for on the go that fits into a little compartment in the actual palette and
one with an eyebrow brush/mascara wand on the end for brushing any unruly hairs
into place. There are three different colours, plus a highlighting colour, so
you can blend them all together to find the perfect shade for you.
Alternatively, I know people who just simply use eye shadow to fill in their eyebrows.
I find that using an angled or patented brush on eyebrows is the best option,
as it is easier to draw with and has a very clean line. I also know people who
use an eyebrow pencil to do the outline of their eyebrows before filling them
in with eye shadow, but I find that the Ardell palette does an amazing job
without me having to buy additional eyebrow products.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b> Wear
lip balm</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lip balm gives your lips a healthy glow and also keeps
them moisturized, particularly if it is windy or the air is dry. Chapped lips
are not fun. They’re painful and way to tempting to nibble on (which only makes
them worse. I like to use Lucas’ Paw Paw Ointment. However, I heard a rumour
that they had discontinued it *tear*, but I have yet to confirm if that is true.
I also use Baby Lips. They come in all different flavours, and some are even have
a light pigment to make your lips look even prettier. There is definitely
something for everyone, just give them a try!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope these tips are helpful! If I could leave you with
one last thing, it would be that everyone in high school is feeling the exact
same way. The people you think are cool and confident and really self-assured
are usually the people who are actually the least confident. Everyone gets
pimples, so although they leave you feeling a bit crap, try not to get too
upset about them. And be confident in who you are because everyone is different
and no one can do you like you. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
