The Ordinary has been one of my favourite brands for skincare serums for a few years now so when I heard that they were coming out with a soothing & barrier support serum that helps protect the skin's barrier the main reason I wanted to try this was because even though im oily combination with my skin type im getting dryer around certain areas this has a range of active ingredients
Vitamin B12: Reduces dryness and the look of redness while giving the serum its pink hue.
Gallic Acid Derivatives: Helps soothe and calm the appearance of irritated skin.
Bisabolol: Alleviates the look of redness associated with skin discomfort.
Soothing Complex: Relieves tightness and dryness.
Ceramide Complex: Replenishes skin lipids, supporting barrier repair.
2% Niacinamide: Promotes hydration and supports the skin barrier.
Sugar-Based Hydrators: Boost hydration while strengthening the skin.
Centella Asiatica Phytotechnologies: Protects against external irritants.
This product has a lightweight feel it hasn't caused my skin to breakout and its soothing ingredients have helped areas I get dry in during the colder months my skin has been more smoother

Last year I got into heaps more skincare serums and moisturise's as my skin has changed over the years I can see why a lot of the products are loved they have made my skin's texture so much better
I can definitely see why the Tacha water cream is so well loved this has been absolutely perfect for helping my acne prone skin and helping my skin's texture
The Mecca Cosmetica Hydrating moisturiser has been so hydrating for my skin in all types of weather its helped keep my oiliness at bay and its improved my skin texture
For when I do get a acne breakout the one product that has been so good for any pesky breakouts has been the Mecca Max Breakup serum its full of acne blemishing ingredients The water cooler hydrating serum has been honestly the best serum for my oily skin you don't think you need more hydration with oily skin but in fact you need it to help balance your oil production
The ordinary serums that I have been using at the Retinol and the Niacinamide + Zinc
these were purchased because there wasn't any fourth ray beauty serums that I would normally use available online these work just the same so im happy that I did pick these up from Priceline

This year we've had heaps of new products arriving in Australia for Autumn so I thought I would talk about some of my new favourites that I've been loving this season from Maybelline NYX & more
NYX Cosmetics marshmallow primer this has to be one of my new favourite drugstore primers its a soft smooth consistency with a gorgeous marshmallow scent as its made from marshmallow root extract
The new Maybelline super stay active foundation I will admit this did take me a few times to actually like this foundation you really need to blend this formula out quickly as it dries really fast other than that I love the look of this Foundation on my skin.
Maybelline Color Strike pens in Chase & Strike these are one of my favourites when i want a something quick on my eyes they blend out like a dream and don't crease the Maybelline sky high mascara this is a really good make my lashes fuller mascara the waterproof one is not good so get the non water proof one
ELF Cosmetics bite sized shadows in Cream & Sugar and Pumpkin Pie are so cute and the colour selection that each eyeshadow palette has is amazing you can create any kind of look with these palettes
Flower Beauty Cosmetics seal the deal setting spray i've been trying this one out for a few months now as we have some wedding makeup's coming up soon I really love the formula of this its a lightweight setting spray with a fine mist and no scent which is perfect it also sets my makeup perfectly.
Makeup Revolution " Rachel Lipstick" this is the perfect 90's rose mauve colour the formula is a soft satin cream that isn't drying at all and it keeps my lips hydrated.

These are some products from Colourpopn & Flower Beauty that I have been loving for the summer weather some days I just use a bit of the pretty fresh concealer & some of the warrior princess mascara from flower beauty and im good to go other days I wear a full face of makeup using the Fenty Beauty primer & Colourpop pretty fresh foundation
For my foundation prep i always use the Fenty primer I find this makes every foundation i wear apply smooth and even to the skin the colour pop pretty fresh foundation has been my go to for ages the concealer is also another pretty fresh product i've been loving too
You can't go wrong with a neutral eyeshadow palette the going coconuts palette by colour pop has the perfect colour story to it you can create any type of eye look with this little cutie
The Flower beauty Lip duo's have been one of my favourite lipsticks for a few years now they are so rich in pigment and smooth on the lips the gloss is a nice soft gloss it isn't too sticky which is what i love for a gloss " my lipstick that is my hands down favourite is honey nude "
the miracle matte setting powder has to be the best setting powder i've used a new product that i've been using is the Warrior Princess mascara this is the softest mascara brush ever for the drugstore the fibres on the brush make the mascara coat the lashes perfectly and they also curl upwards with this mascara wand
What has been some of your makeup favourites

One of Colourpop biggest releases of this year was the highly anticipated Pretty Fresh foundation after the massive success of the pretty fresh tinted moisturiser & creamy concealer this was a very long awaited release that has been one of my favourites of 2020
there isn't that strong coconut smell like the tinted moisturiser which is nice the formula is soft & smooth on the skin and doesn't go oily I always set this with the Pretty Fresh setting spray
The consistency of these foundations are really lightweight and smooth on the skin there isn't a smell of coconut like the tinted moisturiser's are the pump bottle makes it easy for a good amount of product to come out I also love that the bottles are a frosted finish there is 30.ml of product in the foundation bottles
The foundation is made with Hyaluronic acid & coconut water
my skin is oily and I find this foundation doesn't break me out and it does not go oily during the day
Im wearing the pretty fresh foundation in the shade Fair 15w here in the summer Sydney weather its the perfect shade for me
These are swatches of the Pretty fresh foundations & concealer & the tinted moisturiser
From left to right Fair 10 N , Fair 15W , Concealer in Fair 20N and tinted moisturiser in Fair 1N & Light 5N "

With the Rachel eyeshadow palette you have a mix of Mattes & Shimmer shadows I love that these palettes have a good transition shadow in each of these palettes the formula is soft and pigemented and they blend out beautifully

Over the last few months I have been purchasing a few new colourpop & fourthly beauty products some of them are new products that I haven't used before and some are some old favourites of mine from Colourpop & Fourthray beauty
The pretty fresh foundation & super shock highlighters
I purchased the foundations in two different shades Fair 10n & Fair 15w
the fair 15n is way to yellow with its undertones the fair 10n is the perfect shade for me at the moment maybe once it heats up in Sydney I can use the other shade i love that this foundation doesn't have the strong smell of coconuts like the tinted moisturiser does these are lightweight buildable foundations that are so soft on the skin
I had to try this creamy concealer hands down this has to be one of my new favourite concealers to use it doesn't crease plus it drys to a satin finish the shade I got was Fair20 N
Manifest that & The real thing
Colourpop supershock range is always a favourite for my makeup collection what I love about this product is how soft and pigmented they are
Going coconut's palette & Creme shadows
This is a gorgeous neutral palette that is full of matte shadows and some metallic shadows what im loving about this palette is that there isn't any full glitter shadows in this palette as my eyes are super sensitive
This was one of the main reasons why i made a colourpop order these Creme Shadows are so buttery and so pigmented they remind me of the Mac paint pots
Laurel & Bronco
Laurel is a gorgeous beige shadow & bronco is a soft yellow it reminds me of Soft ochre from Mac
they blend effortlessly and they are a hard drying cream shadow im hoping that colourpop will stock more colours in these formulas but their og super shock shadows will be forever a favourite of mine 
Lux lipglosses
Figgy with it , Dream Queen & Come Thru
These colourpop lux lipglosses are so pigmented they aren't a sticky formula either which makes these perfect for any season I found that they were hydrating on my lips
Face Milks & Serums
FourthRay beauty skincare is my absolute favourite for my skincare items
Their face milks are so beautiful for my oily skin I mix some face milks with my moisturiser at night to add some extra nourishment the remedy serum is a Niacinamide serum this has helped massively with any breakouts I've been having
