A new segment I’m trying out where in I show my morning make up routine for various days and chat about what I’m doing that day. Not really a tutorial, more of a random girly chat while we get ready together in the bathroom 😉
Today’s style features some peach shadow that I wanted to try out. I love trying different styles and this one turned out quite prettily. Normally I steer away from orange tones but this is starting to change my mind! .

Peach make up instructions!
Welcome to another edition of Morning Make Up where I do my make up and we chat!
Today’s look is a colour I don’t usually wear: coral!
Start with foundation as usual.
I’m on a kick trying new things at the moment!
I didn’t really know where I was going with this one so I just started with some mascara.
Today’s new thing is coral coloured eyeshadow.
I was trying out this new pearly shimmy 88 Palette.
I did a light cream wash over the lip and a little under the brow as a highlighter.
I love these huge palettes so much.
There is just so much variety in the looks you can make with them.
They are fantastic to keep at home.
I applied the bright pop of coral on the outer corner.
I could honestly ditch the rest of my eyeshadows in favor of one big one like this.
I added a little darker coral to the outer half of the lash line.
I’m trying out different crafts at the moment too which has been fun.
Then I blended it all together.
I tried doing come interesting bleaching patterns on some old clothes which turned out awesomely!
I was quite surprised because I thought they were going to suck!
I lined thinly with black liner.
And after I’ve been crocheting this gigantic shag rug for out lounge because we can’t afford a real one!
I added a long wing as an after thought.
I wasn’t sure the rug would turn out well but I’m almost half way and I love it!
While I was deciding what to do next I added some pink lipstick.
Do you guys try new things often?
Or do you stick with the same things you know?
Then I added some 3/4 lashes.
I think trying new things is really the best part about life.
It didn’t look quite finished so I brought some of the coral down on to the lower lash line.
Next on my to try list are some new nail art designs.
And a little bit of the light colour on the inner corner.
Now that I’m growing out my natural nails, I should be able to do them more often!
And some blush…
A little lipgloss and that’s done!
Let me know if you have any ideas what I should try next.
See, trying new things is good, I actually ended up really liking this look.
I hope this was a useful video, check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching.
Bye!
It’s really starting to warm up here. The hotter it gets, the lazier I get XD
Inspired by that, here is my ultimate lazy day make up!
And in another lazy-ish style, here’s how I use a crimper to get some volume at the top of my head. It’s easy and it lasts really well. Good alternative to teasing for simple styles!
And as if that wasn’t enough, here’s the laziest vlog ever 😀 We went to Werribee Open Range Zoo so here are some super cute animals! You know how much I love Meerkats!
And here’s two Lottie videos because I love seeing her as a puppy like this!

Today’s style features my basic look for days when I’m super lazy. Days like this I really want just quick make up with very little fuss. .

Lazy Days – Morning Make Up Instructions
Welcome to another edition of Morning Make Up where I do my make up and we chat.
Today’s look is what I do when I’m having a lazy day.
This is my ultimate lazy day style.
And starting with a bare face today and everything.
Moisturiser is definitely a must!
I love getting dressed up but there are some times when it’s just not practical.
Then some BB Cream next.
For days like this (or when I really just can’t be bothered) I like to do a simpler style.
I think so long as you have a good base and a little definition around your eyes it looks pretty good and it’s really quick.
I used a light cream all over the lid.
The light colour really brightens up the eyes.
And it’s amazing the difference it just makes even with this.
Some highlighter under the brow.
When I’m in a rush I can do this in around 5 minutes.
I add a tiny touch of bronze at the outer corner.
This gives a little definition to the eyes.
Then blend it out completely.
It becomes a really light shadow which creates depth.
I think the blending probably takes the most time overall.
Mascara!
When I’m not wearing false lashes I like to pile it on haha!
I’m quite guilty of that.
Lots of mascara.
Sometimes I won’t bother with liner but today I felt energetic.
Lazily energetic haha!
I think that’s the best kind of energetic.
I pretty much always wing it out.
the wing makes me look more awake and bright.
Depending on the shape of your eye and the angle of the wing you can get really cool effects.
A pretty pink lip gloss is always a must!
Having breakfast while I do my make up haha!
Classy!
I was actually in a hurry this day.
Done!
And with time to spare!
This is about as plain as I get.
It’s still a little bit pretty but it’s quite relaxed.
Of course, if I’m feeling really lazy I just put my glasses on to hide my eyes more.
BAM! Done!
I hope this was a useful video, please check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks for watching.
Bye!
I have another matching set of videos. This time it’s the look I used when we filmed at the ocean. First is the Morning Make Up video featuring the red and black eye look. It’s nice and dark and quite versatile!
Then the hair style tutorial from the same look. I do love matching sets! The hair for this look is a big messy high bun.
Lastly, every year James and his brother Kris have an arm wrestling competition. It’s full of brotherly smack talk XD Enjoy!
A new segment I’m trying out where in I show my morning make up routine for various days and chat about what I’m doing that day. Not really a tutorial, more of a random girly chat while we get ready together in the bathroom 😉
Today’s style features red and black, it’s a much darker look than I usually wear but I’ve been experimenting with some fun rock styles! It’s lots of fun to try something new every now and then! .

Dark Red And Black Morning Make Up Instructions.
Time for another random Morning Make Up video in which I do my make up and we chat.
Today is a very dark black and red to match the tartan dress I was wearing.
Foundation first as usual and then I started with some mascara.
I’m so tired.
I applied a wing of black shadow to the outer corners of my eyes.
I haven’t been sleeping well at all.
I brought the black down to the lower lash line.
I keep having the worst nightmares and they keep me up all night
Next I added a bright red over the black and brought it in to cover the middle of the lid.
It’s so frustrating because I can’t work out what’s causing them!
Do you guys have nightmares much? It really sucks.
I hurt my shoulder a while ago too which makes it awkward to sleep on so maybe that’s what’s waking me up too.
I filled in the rest of the lid in using a peach shade.
Being tired all the time makes me very grumpy and snappy.
After that it was time for a hell of a lot of blending.
James has nightmares too sometimes but his are about taking tests at school!
Next was a little highlighter which also softened the edges a bit.
My nightmares tend to be completely ridiculous situations.
I applied black pencil liner to the bottom waterline.
They are usually funny when I wake up but scary while I’m still asleep!
Then I applied a thick winged line of liquid liner to the top.
I brought it down to the lower lash line a little too.
Any tops for getting rid of nightmares? I could really use some.
Then I repeated it on the other side.
I can’t live on this little sleep!
Then I added some false lashes.
Or maybe I’ll just start drinking lots and lots of coffee and never sleep! I’ll be vibrating off the walls.
This is such a bold look that I just used a little nude lipstick and gloss on top.
If face in this video, I kind of look like I’m falling asleep a bit now.
All done! I look pretty tired because I haven’t been sleeping well but it’s a really pretty look and I’d like to try it again when my eyes are a bit less puffy.
I hope this was a useful video, please check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching!
Night night!
In an effort to cut some costs around the house and put more money into our house savings account I’ve been looking at all the little things to see where I can save some money.
Today’s project is making some recyclable make up pads! They don’t cost that much but it’s good to save every little bit and also it’s good to recycle!
I had a couple of ideas of what to make these out of but settled on polar fleece. I think I’m going to try to crochet some because the texture will be good to scrub with!
You need:
Polar fleece or your fabric of choice
Scissors
Cup
Pen
Sewing machine or needle and thread
Start by tracing around the cup onto the polar fleece. You will need two circles per pad.
If you want the finished pads to be really squishy and absorbant go with 3 circles each.
Next take your circles and stack them. Use a zigzag stitch on your sewing machine and go all the way around the edge. If you are hand stitching then do a blanket stitch.
Repeat for however many you need and that’s it! It’s such an easy project and they can be a lot softer on the skin than some of the cheaper disposable ones.
So do they actually work as well?
Answer appears to be yes!
And when they’re dirty you just throw them in the washing machine. I think I’ll make 14 or so then I can alternate sets every week. And try out the crochet ones too and see if I prefer those!
Do you guys have any money saving tips I can try around the house? Savings for the win!
