Hair Rollers

Dear Women of the internet. 

You need hair rollers in your life. 

I discovered hair roller whilst on my travels, and I have not looked back since! 
I have longish hair (Its right on my nips), and because I am slightly lazy, my hair would often just be in a messy bun. 

So, rollers are PERFECT. Al you need to do is put them in and go about your normal business! Take them out, and voluminous, amazing hair!

I have two types, the sleep-in ones, and the normal ones. 

I prefer the sleep-in ones. Have a look here

I am not here to do a tutorial, not yet anyways. But just to let you know about the goodness that is rollers.

In Liverpool, girls walking down the street in their pjamas and rollers is considered the norm. And I wish NZ was the same! When I was in the UK, I walked down to Tescos in my rollers, did my shop and wandered back. NO-ONE BATTED AN EYE. I looked like a poodle. Nobody cared!

Maybelline–’The Turbo Express’ mascara review!


Hey guys!

Recently I tried out a new mascara from Maybelline called ‘The Turbo Express’ (waterproof)

I purchased it because I was looking for a good waterproof mascara, that would make my lashes stand out and not require lots of applications.

I do think that a girl needs a set of mascaras for different occasions. For example, I wouldn't use a waterproof mascara everyday because it can be quite difficult to take off I find.

I would use this Maybelline mascara for events, nights out and rainy days! The times when I don’t want to get panda eyes!

As you can see in the above picture, it extends your eyelashes and goes on easily. My only issue is that it can get clumpy. I deliberately left it in this photo so you guys can see what I mean.

I normally use a clean mascara wand to brush out the clumps.

This brand is also waterproof, and it does last I can tell you that! Even after showering I will have to use makeup wipes!

Overall I do like this product, and I would buy Maybelline again. Maybe not this particular mascara, but for $20 I am a happy shopper!

Clinque Lipstick Palette review

Hello Lovelies! 

Aaaaaaand I am back with another Clinque lipstick review. 

The Butter Shine Lipstick pallete, with 'Pink-a-boo', 'Rosalita', 'Rasberry Rush' and 'Cranberry Cream'. 

Oooh tasty! 





(From L to R)  Pink-a-boo', 'Rosalita', 'Raspberry Rush', 'Cranberry Cream'. 

This palette is more like a lip gloss palette than a lipstick. 

The wear is not as long as an actual lipstick, and the colors are light and glossy. 

Looks lovely as a lip gloss and occasionally I may team the light one over a darker lipstick. 

This is perfect for subtle day wear! You could wear this for work, or even school! 

It comes with a little applicator brush, however do be warned, it gets messy. I deliberately left it messy in the middle picture so you guys could see what can happen. 
Needs a regular clean with a cotton bud to make the surface smooth-tastic! 

I do find it difficult to define my cupids bow, and using this applicator was amazing! 

Perfect for the handbag and when you need a quick make-up pick me up!

V05 Shampoo and Conditioner review

Hey guys!



I bought these from the supermarket a few days ago and love, love, love them already!

I take huge pleasure in my shower time as its my thinking and relaxing space, so bath products are  guilty pleasure of mine. I love all the beautiful and wonderful smells!
 Quite often I will have a number of products going at the same time, so lets just say it can get a little cluttered!  
However, I can safely say these have secured a place on my bench.

 I love the packaging and the colors! I thought they looked very similar to products from a salon and the color combo is adorable. 

The shampoo and conditioner passed with flying colors, After using it, my hair was very soft and smelt amazing, it also looked a lot glossier.


Highly recommend this range!
