Last Thursday night I had the pleasure of being invited to an evening at Saloon; the business and brain child of beauty experts Jaki and Sarah. Both owners have a strong background in the beauty industry and can perform the simplest of beauty practices, or a full makeover. Saloon is located in Lonsdale Street, Braddon, and offers clients a range of  beauty services. It is a one stop shop for makeup, waxing, lash lifts, cosmetic tattooing, and holds the title of Canberra’s first blow dry bar. Yes ladies you heard correct. A bar, stocked with both wine and hair products…

If you follow me on Instagram you will know that dry shampoo is one of my favourite products. This is because of the following reasons: 1.

I’ve mentioned a number of times how sensitive my skin is. I get regular breakouts and have a total mix bag when it comes to what category my skin falls into. Due to my skin care dilemma, I take time on both a daily and weekly basis to take care of my skin and give it extra attention. Some weeks I’ll use a mud based face mask, or a sheet mask.

All of Sukin’s products are: 100% Vegan 100% Carbon Neutral Australian Owned and Made No Animal Testing I use their Charcoal based facial…

Last Sunday night was the ever explosive, always interesting event that is The Grammy’s. I love the music and the performances but my favourite part has always been the Red Carpet. I love the glitz and the glamour. I love the fashion fails and the golden gown moments, and this year was no exception. And as always the world’s fashion and media elite were quick to voice their thoughts. Make Up Director for Fashfest Diana Cheetham focused on the ‘winning’ Beauty Looks of the biggest stars:    LADY GAGA “How inspirational to see a little creativity on the face but still…

If any of you have been following me on Facebook and Instagram you will have discovered my latest love for Korean Beauty Products thanks to Australian company Style Story.
