When you're pregnant with your first baby there is so much to think about - what type of care you want to have, what baby names you like, and a whole of list of things you need to get for your newborn. The second time around, things have been very different. My time has been... Continue Reading →
When you hear on Mamamia's You Beauty podcast about an amazing dupe for your all time favourite face product, you just have to buy it, right?
I love supporting Australian businesses and talented female entrepreneurs, especially when they are work as hard as my incredible sister-in-law does. A mother-of-two and creative director of her own lifestyle accessories brand, Liz Archer is a constant source of creative inspiration.
I can’t believe I only have six days of work left until I start my maternity leave! What do you wish you did before your bubba arrived?
Go-To skin care products for kids? Sold!
I’ve been limiting my skincare purchases in recent months thanks to A) a new mortgage and B) a new baby on the way. So, it takes a lot for me to commit to a new product at the moment. I depend on a lot of reviews and ask a lot of questions of my favourite... Continue Reading →
I first got properly hooked on Mecca Cosmetica products when a Mecca Maxima opened in Canberra about two years ago and I've never looked back! It has become one of my favourite skincare brands because the quality is so consistent, there is an impressive variety of products and the packaging is to die for. But... Continue Reading →

The vote was between the brow products and the Kevyn Aucoin Volume Mascara, which was featured in my list of the best tubular mascaras here. I have been using one Benefit Cosmetics brow product for about five years... Continue Reading →
I'm not afraid to admit that I play it pretty safe when it comes to eyeshadow. My typical colour choices range from a matte beige to a slightly shimmery beige! So I totally blame the Mecca Maxima Instagram account - @meccamaxima - for convincing me that I need to branch out and experiment with colour.... Continue Reading →
This week's beauty poll was so close that it came down to just one vote! But we have a very deserving winner... The vote was between Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi serum and Go-To Skin Care's Face Hero, with the Face Hero claiming the top spot. I am so happy Face Hero was chosen because it is... Continue Reading →
You know a beauty product is good when, once you've tried it, you can never go back to what you used before. That's exactly the way I feel about tubular mascara. I have been using tubulars exclusively for years now and unlike normal mascaras that paint your eyelashes, tubular mascara creates water-resistent 'tubes' around each... Continue Reading →
