I’ve been on the lookout for a few new face bases recently so here are my thoughts on a few that have been in my to try makeup box
The Mco Beauty flawless glow
This is a beautiful dupe for the CT flawless filter the shade range is so gorgeous with there being 8 shades to choose from I was quite hesitant trying this out as I have oily combination skin but the formula of this product does not make me look oily it made my foundation apply more smoothly
Makeup Revolution IRL Foundation
One word for this foundation is Revlon colorstay the smell is the same but the consistency of the foundation isn't as heavy as the Revlon one its oil free and I like how it doesn't feel heavy on my skin it also covers up any blemishes that I've got
Makeup Revolution Pore minimiser primer
This is a good pore minimising primer its got a soft silicone feel to it and I like that its a soft nude shade
Flower Beauty Blush bomb colour drops
These are becoming a new favourite of mine the amount of colour you get from these blush drops is stunning and the application of these are so soft of the skin
Camden has to be one of my favourite spots for Coffee in NSW its full of gorgeous autumnal leaves this time of year and the weather is that crisp mix of autumn meets winter
We came across the Squeeze & Grind cafe its a gorgeous little hidden gem full of cosy decor and the food was so delicious
If you are ever there I would recommend the club sandwich it was the perfect cold day treat to warm up
and the coffee was so good too

For this years High Tea it was a very easy preparation we got a whole heap of different bakery bits from Woolworths
The Sponge Cake is a Woolies Bakery Cream & Jam Sponge I added some chopped strawberries and a little bit of spray cream for that extra finish
Sometimes its easy to just grab things from the supermarket we made some sandwiches too

This new houseplant cutie has been in my collection now for about over a month I was so absolutely excited when I saw her on sale at one of my favourite online nurseries
I have added my favourite houseplant soil from osmocote and some lecca pebbles to add some more nutrients to her soil she’s already got 4 leaves just creeping through the stems
I have been giving her weekly mists as we are now in Autumn
Have you got a favourite houseplant
