Australia: The Best Bits (Part II)




 









All of the drone photos are courtesy of our lovely friend Deb of Toes on the Sand - such a fantastic photographer - check her out!













I hope that these photos really give the places we visited some justice.

Following some time in Melbourne we jumped on a train down along the coast to Ocean Grove. We stayed with an amazing friend who put us up for a few days and even invited us to her Australia Day beach BBQ party. We paddle boarded for the first time, played beach cricket, flew the drone and genuinely had the most amazing day and met so many new and fantastic people.

After a relaxing few days, they all managed to convince us to head north to Queensland to see the Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef instead of heading back to Hong Kong - who am I kidding, we didn't need convincing in the slightest. 

Best. Decision. Ever.

Paradise is the best way to describe the Whitsundays. The majority of my photos were taken on the beautiful Whitehaven Beach. Crystal blue waters and white silica sand that squeaks as you walk upon it - need I say more? Actually, I might. The sand is so fine that you can exfoliate with it and even clean your jewelry. Ah-mazing.

As you can probably tell, we literally had the time of our lives.

See you in the next post.

Australia: The Best Bits (Part I)









Couple of monkeys just arsing around.











Just over a month ago me and Jack sat down and booked a one way ticket to Sydney, leaving the very next day. We have never done anything so last minute in our lives and it was exhilarating!

What we didn't know is that we would fall head over heels in love with Australia.

We spent time between Sydney, Melbourne, Ocean Grove and Airlie Beach in the Whitsundays and we certainly didn't hold back on any of the opportunities and adventures that came our way.

We got to experience the Australian Open, visit Taronga Zoo, sipped cocktails at the Opera Bar, experienced the Moonlight Cinema, paddle boarded near the Great Ocean Road, celebrated Australia Day with amazing friends, sailed the Whitsundays and dived on the Great Barrier Reef - just to name a few! It was simply amazing.

I have selected a few (maybe around a thousand) photos that depict our time in Australia perfectly. So please keep an eye out for further posts on our amazing adventure down under.

Enjoy...

Four New Products That Rock My World


Hey lovers, I'm back!

Before I proceed to tell you about the most amazing three weeks we had in Australia, it would be a cardinal sin not to fill you in on the new products that have entered my life. These products alone warrant their own blog post as well as that fantastically bright pineapple I picked up in Ocean Grove. Just look at it.

I was lucky enough to receive the Giorgio Armani foundation and the two MAC lip products for Christmas, so I have had a good old while to test them out. As for the Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes; I picked this up in Sephora in Sydney a few weeks back. Funnily enough that was the only product I walked out with - probably because I had two men following me around moaning that I was taking too much bloody time. Bores.

All I can say is that I am in love with all four of these products. Naturally.

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in 04 - This has been on my wish list for ages. Being one of the more expensive foundations on offer, I thought it was best to ask for this for Christmas. This foundation is so lightweight and applies to the skin like a dream. It has a light to medium coverage and can be applied either with a foundation brush or using your fingers. It is honestly like having my perfect skin in a bottle. Thats the only way I can describe it. I love this.

Tarte Waterproof Lights, Camera, Lashes -  Another product raved about in the beauty blogging world. I knew I had to get my hands on this when I found out Sephora had opened in Sydney. Alongside its quirky packaging this mascara lengthens, volumises and makes my lashes look luscious! Like many mascaras I believe that this will be even better when the product dries a little with time - I look forward to the day that I don't get it all over my nose and cheeks! All in all though, I adore this mascara - I will definitely purchase this time and time again.

MAC Ruby Woo - Since its feature in a previous post, I have been lusting after this lipstick for months. Like most of the lipsticks I reach for lately, this is of a matte formula and adds a beautiful pop of colour to any outfit or... face. If you feel a bit daring and want to feel like a sexy babe - get this in your life.

MAC Cherry Lip Pencil - So creamy, so soft and an amazing pinky red shade too?! What more could you possibly want? I bought this to line my lips before applying Ruby Woo, but to be quite honest I could just wear this colour on its own. Its super long lasting and a must have if you are on the hunt for a new red lip pencil.


I hope I succeeded in making you crave all of these products. If I did, then its a job well done.
