I applied a thin amount of this primer after my skincare and before applying any foundation. (It then takes approx. 30 seconds to set.) My foundation went on top very smoothly and didn’t pill or become blotchy! Win!
It's very moisturising and has a universal sheer to it, but unfortunately this did make me feel like the coverage of my foundation wasn’t as full as usual. (I prefer a matte effect.) And as for the poreless effect, although it did make a difference, I’m still on the hunt for a truly magical product that does it even more!
Nevertheless, I must say that my family noticed a difference on the first day I used this primer and commented on how smooth and natural my makeup looked! So it’s clearly doing something well! I will therefore continue to use this product and see which of my skincare products work the best beneath it!

To pamper myself over this long weekend I decided to try this brightening face mask sheet from Skin Republic! And it did not disappoint!!!

These probiotics taste INCREDIBLE!!!
If you’re looking for a probiotic then I definitely suggest you try these!
Probiotics help support digestive health and promote a favourable gut flora! (Psst! They also help to reduce occasional constipation or diarrhoea!)
These particular probiotics come in gummy form, which I love! They have an incredible juicy apple flavour, which makes it soooo hard to only eat two a day!
🍎 Gluten Free
🍏 No Artificial Flavours or Colours
Each gummy contains:
🍎 500 million CFU of Bacillus Coagulans (whole cell)
🍏 2.5 billion CFU of Bacillus Subtilis DE111 (whole cell)
The Olly range is huuuuuge! Check it out!

If you're a fan of sweet scents, then this is the perfume for you! All I can think of when I'm wearing it is caramel and vanilla! And maybe a touch of fruitiness too! It definitely makes me think of a sickly sweet dessert! I wasn't too sure about a scent this sweet for me, (I usually go for earthy or woody perfumes), but my family always make a point to tell me how nice I smell when I'm wearing this! Turns out sweet suits me! As if I wasn't sweet enough already! -

My first impression upon opening the box was WOW - just look at that packaging! It truly was going to be the most beautiful thing on my makeup shelf!
When I first applied it to my skin, I was instantly shocked at how much it felt like a moisturiser, rather than a primer! The formula is creamy and applies just as a moisturiser does. You even need to leave it for a while for the skin to absorb the product, and even then you are left with a dewy complexion! This was instantly very different to my usual primers that create a blurring effect with a matte finish! I was also shocked that the packaging instructs you to apply this formula over a moisturiser, as it seems this is more what the product was! (However, it also states on the website that it can be applied before bed!) It really is combining skincare and makeup!
As this is advertised as a primer, I wanted to try it with makeup on top to see the finished look and unfortunately I was very disappointed! I have a trustworthy foundation that I always use, but it was not friends with this primer! The foundation would not blend properly around my chin and nose and I was left with streaks and patchy marks! I'm not really sure I understand how this product is working as a primer!
With all this said, I am a huge fan of the ingredients and the positive effects these have on the skin. I will therefore continue to use this product but only as a treatment at night rather than before applying makeup.

What do you think of the before and after? It looks extreme going from blonde eyelashes to black!
This mascara is so much more dramatic than my previous one! It leaves you with thick, long and extremely defined lashes!
It dries really quickly and doesn’t smudge, which is excellent when you have this weird tendency to sneeze every time you apply mascara! 😂
I have never used a mascara with this kind of brush before, so it can take a little getting used to but it’s great for making sure you cover every part of your lash! (It’s a tapered, rubber bristled, flexible wand!)

I was already a big fan of the regular Living Proof dry shampoo, but this one is better still and the price difference is minimal! Both completely refresh your hair, not just covering up oil and sweat temporarily, but resetting your hair just as though you've washed it with actual shampoo and water! Game changer! The budget friendly dry shampoo options do not do this! In addition to this, the new advanced clean version smells incredible and is much more dense, adding volume and texture to your hair as well as cleaning it! I love this range! -

Well these went down a storm at this household! We put soooo many nibbles out for a birthday celebration, and this was the first bowl to completely disappear!!!
These guys are made with no artificial colours or flavours and are always baked, never fried!
We tried the mild tangy ranch flavour, and it was a hit! Perfect crunchy snack and very addictive!

I love how fun and playful these are! It’s impossible to wear these and not dance around whilst listening to ‘Barbie Girl’!!!
I also love how refreshing they are! Plus, they really do stick to your face so you can walk around, dance around, do whatever!
Oh, and once you’re done! Throw them into the compost! They're biodegradable!
They left my lips feeling softer, more hydrated and refreshed!

🐮 Although I knew these cheese triangles were made with real cheese and red beans, I was still shocked to see just how orangey/red the colour was! Nothing like the originals!
🐮 I tried them on some crackers and with some celery/capsicum, and I must admit I wasn’t a big fan! The only thing I could really taste was the paprika, and the spice just gave off too much of a kick for a simple snack!
🐮 I’m planning on using the rest of these triangles up on our next Mexican food night! I think they would taste great inside a burrito!
🐮 As for what the family thought, no one would even try them because of the colour! Picky eaters! All except for the 10yr old who loves them! You just never know what they’re going to like!
