Combatting Oily Skin: A Product Review

Hello friends,

I was sauntering around a Westfield shopping centre the other day when I came across an interesting-looking store. Curiously, I abandoned my earlier hunt for the perfect pair of boots, and glanced through the glass windows, only for my eyes to meet the most perfect sight - makeup... enough makeup to last me my entire lifetime. Naturally, I had to walk in right? And that I did... to discover the amazing world of Mecca Maxima.

Ok pause and rewind.

I'm just being a doofus... Contrary to the gibberish I've written up there, I've actually known about Mecca for a while now as one of my good friends is the 2IC at the Macquarie store in Sydney (having previously worked at the Parramatta store). Truth be told, I headed in there to buy my mum about $300 worth of Lancôme creams for Mother's Day but ended up buying myself $300 worth of skincare products and makeup (not my best moment, I'll admit).

I was wandering the aisles, searching aimlessly for something to suit my skin as I needed to revamp my skincare regime when an idea hit me: Why don't I get one of the workers to assist me? Funny thing, that. Having people getting paid to wander around the store, bursting with knowledge and reviews about many of the products on the shelves. Who would've thought, hey?

Anyways, long story short, I was with this amazing worker for about fifteen minutes and coincidentally, we both had oily/combination skin (everything's going swell for me, isn't it?) and she recommended me a few products that have worked well with her skin so without a second thought, I bought them (probably should've thought through blasting $300 at once but it's worked out well for me so I'm not complaining).

And no, before you guys ask, the three products I'm reviewing won't cost you $300.

Billboard Awards Red Carpet Review

Hey guys!

So the past couple of weeks we’ve been absolutely swamped with uni work, but we thought hey we’ve been neglecting the blog so today because we adore y’all so much we’re gonna give back and give you our best and worst dressed of the Billboard Music Awards!

I’ll get straight to it and rip the Band-Aid off so that we can appreciate the goodness later!

First up is Fifth Harmony…not really sure what they were going for but this is a straight up no. Like the only one really doing it for me here is Dinah, which is sad because these girls are all fire and could’ve done some real damage on that red carpet.

Next is…Delicia? Not really sure if she’s trying to outdo Nicki Minaj, pay tribute to her or what? I’m just really not sure and as cool as it looks it’s just straight out wrong, I thought days of celebrities doing this was over *sighs* I hope it lights up or something, I mean that would make it slightly okay.

The Avengers: Age of Ultron

WHERE DO I BEGIN, OH MY GOSH.

THIS MOVIE WAS INSANE. If I had to give it an unbiased rating it would definitely be a 8.5 out of 10, but because I'm beyond bias I'll give it an 11.

For those of you who don't know me very well, you should probably know that I am obsessed with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, absolutely obsessed. It's my guilty pleasure and I am a dork. I cannot begin to express my utter love for Marvel Superheroes, it's concerning.

Age of Ultron is the second Avengers movie and the  and let me tell you, it is a very satisfying sequel. Forget what they say about sequel's being crappy, this was definitely far from crappy. It had me laughing, crying and everything in between. *Whispers* It changed my life.

The movie is centred around Ultron, the 'love child' Of Dr Banner (The Hulk) and Tony Stark (Iron Man.) Originally designed to be a peace keeper, Ultron takes on the latter role, causing chaos and grief. The Avengers AKA World's mightiest Heroes work to keep the metal bastard at bay (no one tell Captain America that I swore)

What's On My Phone?

Hello friends!

Hope you’re all well.

We’re all bogged down with assignments and exams, so unfortunately haven’t had time to write for the blog as much as we’d like to. I received an ask.fm question with two suggestions – What’s on my Phone? And Favourite Beauty Bloggers! I’m going to go ahead and do the What’s on my Phone suggestion, will also do the Beauty Bloggers in near future!

I’ve only got two pages because I like everything in a folder, organised – looks cleaner. In the extras folder I’ve put all the apps I could not care less about. We should have the option to delete those, am I right ladies? 

Review: Cinderella, Insurgent, Fast & Furious 7

Hey guys!

Been a while since I really posted anything without having Rama breathing down my neck (love you, Rams) so I thought I'd actually put in some effort and contribute (for once).

Basically, I've been going on what some might call a movie binge in the past two weeks or so. Now, I wouldn't really call it a 'binge' per se, but I've paid to see more movies in a cinema in these two weeks than I have all year, so just stick with me on this.

The three I have chosen to review are Cinderella, Insurgent, and Furious 7 (allow me to cry). Now, I know they might not be of any interest to you, but I've heard some pretty mixed reviews of all so I thought, why not put in my two cents? (Also, I like looking for the graphics haha).

Ok, so let's get started.
