During these times small cafes like Justinian's Cafe in my local shopping centre have been able to stay open which is awesome they practice social distancing really well and all of the staff are super helpful 

I have always been a lover of the Brunch, Lunch & Desserts at this cafe so its nice to be able to still be able to pop into the cafe and grab a coffee & something to eat when im running errands 

So a few weeks back i finally caved and purchased the stunning Natasha Denona Bronze palette as I wanted to have some makeup fun with trying one of her palettes as I have never purchased a Natasha Denona palette before and boy im so glad I did her palettes are stunning in this blogpost i will be going into more depth with the shadows of this palette plus I have added this gorgeous Colourpop dupe if your looking to save but have a fun look that is similar with these palettes 

They are both absolutely stunning palettes to have in your makeup collection the Natasha Denona one  has more of a bronze & peachy duo chrome colour story to it with bronze shadows the Colourpop one has more of a lighter colour story going on with bronze tones the only difference i can feel with these shadows is some of the Natasha Denona ones that are really buttery in texture were getting a bit patchy when i was swatching them im not sure why this was happening as they didn't go patchy on my eyelids when i was having a play around with this palette maybe it was because the skin on my arm is different to my eyelid skin i still love both of these palettes the same though

The Natasha Denona Bronze palette has such a soft & buttery feel to the shadows they blend really well I love how much the glitter shines in the duo chrome shadows the only thing it is missing is one light matte shadow as I just always find having a lighter shadow tone helps lighten my crease with eye looks 

Colourpop California Love Palette 

This palette has a bronze burnt orange colour story to it the shadows are soft & buttery like all colourpop shadows do the the only diffrence between this palette & the Natasha Denona Bronze Palette is that there is a few more lighter matte shades to work with in the crease and there is a pressed glitter in the Colourpop palette 

This was a eye look I created using the Natasha Denona Bronze palette 

Have you tried this palette or the Colourpop one I would love to know your thoughts

Since we have been in this stay at home period I have been around with a new maybelline eyeshadow palette and i've also been loving my Colourpop tinted moisturiser's they have been the perfect makeup products for the winter season even when im out in the garden I love wearing something on my face as a skin protector 

Pink tray is from Kmart it goes perfect for holding my Peperomia Plants that I have my bedroom

As we've been in the House a lot more lately I have taken my love for all things succulents and indoor plants to create a little nook in our spare room full of my house plants that I have been growing in this post I will be telling you what I use to keep these plants looking healthy during the winter months  

Firstly the main thing you need for all of these houseplants is Distilled water as it has no chlorine the chlorine that is in water harms the healthy growth of new leaves and does cause yellowing and browning in the leaves i purchase my distilled water in 5 litre bottles at Bunnings 

plus i use a diffuser a few times a day misting the plants helps as well that is what has helped me with
