Coffee, Lipstick and Mini Me

So today I thought I would make a blog post about makeup I would love to own but don't own because they are either too expensive or I just haven't got around to buying them either online or in store.  The Nyx Angel Veil Primer! I have heard so many good things about this amazing primer! I am always on the hunt for a primer that makes my makeup both look flawless and stay all day! So I don't own any Anastasia Beverlly Hills makeup. Mainly cause of the price tag. This palette caught my eye and immediately made me wish I was a millionare! (It's the Soft Glam Palette by the way). I just feel like you could create so many natural looks with this palette but add a pop of sparkle! OMG! These Australis Metallix cream eyeshadows are B-E-A-utiul! I do have one and the formula is amazing ad I definitely need the rest of them! Especially the goldy bronzey rose goldey colours! Again, Too Faced is another brand I do not own anything from. I have loved the look of the

Motherhood is messy. Period. My days are made up of cleaning pooey nappies, wiping snotty noses, wiping off her yoghurt face and hair mask then dealing with tantrum after tantrum after tantrum. But at the end of the day, I wouldn't change my pooey, snotty, messy toddler for the world. Being her Mum is an absolute pleasure, no matter how difficult it gets at time. She is part of me and constantly reminds me to smile <3

So who loves this movie?? Because I do. Because it is so relevant to Mums in today's society. So many of us (un-intentionally) judge what another parent does. Whether that be controlled crying, smacking, vaccinations, no matter what it is. As it is said in this movie, it is impossible to be a perfect mom. We make mistakes, we yell, we have days when we want to crawl into  ball and hibernate. But at the end of the day, as long as our kids are happy and healthy and looked after, nothing else matters. It's time to stop shaming other Mums for things that they may do differently to you. It's time for Mums to stop worrying about everything being perfect and just parent your kids in the wy that works for you and your family. Don't be afraid to say no when things get too much. Don't be afraid to take time for yourself <3 But most importantly, know that all your kids really need is to be happy, healthy and loved <3

So I get a lot of questions about how I cope with everything that is thrown at me (yes, I'm talking about my current marriage breakdown due to him cutting off all contact). Believe me, it's difficult. And I'm definitely not strong all the time. There are always times when I want to crawl into a ball and hibernate. But I am a Mum. I am a woman. I am a human. I have to keep going. My husband may not be here, but I am and so is my beautiful girl. We have to keep living. Even though at times it's rediculously hard. I have my beautiful little girl constantly making me smile and laugh and reminding me that I am doing something right. I am a firm believer in making time for yourself when you are a Mum. Don't get me wrong, I always make sure my baby has everything she needs. She's always clean, fed and happy. But I also refuse to put my own needs aside. As previously mentioned, I am a woman as well as a Mum. I always make sure I have a nice coffee, play w

Revlon ColorStay Pressed Powder is my new favourite powder. I got the powder in translucent and paid $10 on special from my local pharmacy. It is the perfect powder to set your makeup and doesn't make your face look like a cakey mess. The Lacura Barely There eyeshadow palette from Aldi! HOLY SMOKES PEOPLE! For an eyeshadow palette sold at Aldi, the quality is amazing. I actually bought this for $1 (you heard right) at a garage sale and it's amazing. I think it could definitely be a dupe for one of the Urban Decay Naked palettes which are around $70 each. Definitely not an exact dupe but a much cheaper alternative.  I love this setting spray so much! I actually use it as a primer and a setting spray and it works amazing at making my makeup stay put. Now I am quite aware that these brushes probably are not authentic Zoeva as I paid $15 on ebay, but they are absolutely amazing. They don't shed like the morphe brushes I used to have and they make your makeup lo
