Mwahahaha James got a very early Christmas present from my Mum, it’s a portable microphone/recording thingy 😀 And I am borrowing it this weekend for IMATS/ABBW to interview and talk to everyone I can possibly find! It also means my V-Logs/videos will have better sound now and I can record decent voice overs.
I have decorated it so it’s fit to be an accessory for the outfits I’m planning ^_^ What do you all think? Pretty cute huh? I am pretty happy with how it all turned out, especially the crown wind shield! I’m going to experiment with other covers when I have time but for now I love it! It’s hard to see in the photo but the pink is actually glittery and it has diamantes spotted around the outside as well as my monogram in diamantes on the front. Then a flag box thing with the web address 😀
So that brings me to my question, is there anyone you guys want me to talk to in particular? Any brands or bloggers you want to hear from? Or do you have particular questions I should ask? I’m a bit nervous about being that out going but let me know and I’ll do my best!
I’m running around like a crazy person trying to get everything ready to go to Sydney this week for IMATS/ABBW so enjoy some videos in the mean time ^_^
Morning Make Up for the Adelaide Beauty Conference. This one is special because it follows me from VERY early in the morning preparing for the plane ride to flying back home at night and taking all the hair/make up off haha!
Styling Celeste this week is a big fancy ribbony updo!
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 😉
This is my day’s worth of beauty for a trip to Adelaide including 2 plane trips.

Welcome to a special morning make up edition.
This issue/episode/whatever I’ll take you through how I get ready, did two hair styles and took it all out for the Adelaide Beauty Conference.
We start at around 6am at my apartment. I had put my hair up into pin curls the night before and tied it all in a scarf.
Shower and getting dressed then moisturiser and primer.
This early in the morning I’m not laying much attention to the order I’m going things in.
I wear minimal make up for the plain trips so I can sleep in later.
Foundation, highlighter and blush.
I prefer to spent more time on hair in the mornings because I can do manke up on the plain but it’s harder to do hair there.
Undoing pin curls.
This time I only did a couple on each side because I knew I would have time to mess with them later.
Basically I just unpin them, brush through each to remove any kinks and retwist them with my fingers.
Nice and easy.
I’m pretty much on auto pilot this early in the morning.
I don’t function or smile much without my morning cup of tea and breakfast.
Brush the top layer of hair to get rid of any separation between the curls.
Straighten the fringe and maybe the top parts if there are pin marks.
Add a pretty headband, spray it and finished.
Simple and classic.
For extra bonus points tease the underneath of your fringe so it doesn’t split during the day.
Super magic time travel!
Ok so now we’re on the plain and I was feeling a tiny bit more awake.
This is my set up.
Firstly eyeliner, brown, top and 1/2 of the bottom.
I like flying, it’s nice to have with a couple of hours to myself with no interruptions.
Sparkly highlighter under the brow.
The flight to Adelaide was really quick though.
Light purple shadow all over the lid.
It felt like we were hardly in the air for 20 minuts between take off and descent.
Read the full description in the captions or the blog post.
This is a series of videos in collaboration with Celeste from Becoming Beautiful where we try different styles on her in 2-3 minutes. This particular one was the last we did that day and we were just randomly experimenting with different things. It’s a bit crazy but still fun! Lots of plaits, ribbons, extensions and randomness ^_^

How To Do A Big Random Ribbony Updo Hair Style
Welcome to another episode of Styling Celeste where I try out random hairstyles on my unwitting victim. lovely friend Celeste.
Today’s style is a random big ribbon and plaited updo.
We were winging it for this style and making it up as we went along.
Start by sectioning the front from each ear to the top.
Clip some ribbons and hair extensions at one ear.
Braid from one side of the head over to the other.
This takes a while.
Pull the rest of your hair into a high ponytail.
Add some more ribbons and extensions.
Tease the hell out of the ponytail and pin most of it up.
Leave a couple of strands hanging down.
Plait a couple of strands which are left down and pin them around randomly.
Loop any extra ribbon through the hair randomly.
Taadaa random ribbony updo.
Now see how we get rid of all that teasing.
Celeste’s hair has only ever been teased twice so it’s so super easy to undo,
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.
Bye!
First off my second V-Log ^_^ In this one James, my Mum and I visited the Camberwell markets in search of bargains! *Some* of us found them while others found… axes. This one features James a lot so I hope you enjoy the video and see below for what we picked up and to vote on the winner!
We ended up heading home before we actually finished spending our money due to sore feet but still had an awesome day! I can’t think of what a suitable prize/punishment for the winner/loser should be… leave your ideas in the comments mwahahaha!
James’ purchase total: $5- A toy piano
My purchase total: $15 – 2 scarves, a bag, an embroidered purse, 4 stickers
Mum’s purchase total: $20 – strands of Czech beads (she didn’t want to be on camera)
So you can cast your vote in the form below and come up with a suitable prize/punishment in the comments mwahahaha! Such a fun and silly day ^_^ Definitely visit the markets if you get a chance, they are a lot of fun!
Ok on to the other videos from this week! First up another Styling Celeste video, this time we did one of my favorite styles, the plaited updo. I’ve done this one a couple of times including a photo tutorial previously as well but we wanted to see how it would look on her dark hair. Too cute!
Last video of the day is a bobbly updo. I did this look to go with the pink/gold make up from last time. I wasn’t planning on making this one into a tutorial, I actually filmed it to test out my lighting set up XD but there were a couple of comments on the corresponding outfit post so I figured might as well ^_^
Hope you enjoyed them all and found something useful!
I’ve got to go get ready now, we’re going to a movie preview tonight which looks like it’s going to be fun! Hope you all had a great weekend <3

Bobbly Updo Hairstyle Instructions
Hello and welcome to another hair tutorial!
This look is a different take on a standard updo.
I do this style mostly when I haven’t washed my hair in a while and want to hide oily roots.
So the first step is to use a dry shampoo.
Pull the hair up into a high ponytail.
I like this style because once it’s in place and pinned it takes a lot to ruin, great for windy days.
On the final pull through the elastic, don’t pull the ends completely through.
It should look something like this with ends at the front.
Push the ends to the side for now.
Take a section of the loop and pull it to the side.
Pinch it in half so it forms two loops and then pin back to your head.
Keep going taking section by section, pinch them in half and pin down.
Pin some to the front and some to the back so they eventually hide the hairband.
It should start to look like a bunch of random bobby loops, hence the name of the tutorial.
Keep going until you run out of hair.
Now let’s deal with the front bits.
Grab your straightener and use it to curl them slightly.
If you don’t like the way they sit you can pin them up higher.
This probably works better if you have shorter hair than me.
If you’re like me, you’ll probably get distracted talking to your friend while you do it.
Pin, curl and straighten until you’re happy.
Finally add a pretty hair clip to finish it off.
I’m using a headband but worn horizontally so it looks into the updo.
Hairspray and you’re good.
Done and ready for a yummy dinner with friends.
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.
Bye!
