The books I’ve read so far this year… 🤯 If The books I’ve read so far this year… 🤯 If we’re going to take some positives from the last few years I definitely have to credit all the lockdowns with reigniting my love for reading 📚 These are almost all the books I’ve read this year (minus a couple of the audiobooks) and I’ve written a blog post with a little review and rating of each in case you were on the lookout for a new read.

I couldn't decide between these two so I ordered both 🙃⁠ ⁠ @elemis Superfood Kefir-Tea Mist⁠ A nourishing, antioxidant-rich mist with Tea Extract, Aloe Vera, Coconut Water, and Prebiotics to help balance the surface of the skin. Acts as a toner, primer and hydrating setting spray in one.⁠ ⁠ @laneige_anz Cream Skin Mist⁠ An incredibly fine mist with White Leaf Tea Water and Amino Acids to strengthen the skin's moisture barrier. I've used this one a few times so far and really like it.⁠ ⁠ Have you tried either of these before?? 💦⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ [Image Description: the three listed mists on a white marble tray on a white desk]⁠ ⁠ #BeautyTalk #BeautyReview #InstaBeautyAU #365InSkincare #SkincareDiary #SkincareDaily #SkincareBlog #SkincareReview #SkinRoutine #SkincareReviews #InstaBeautyBlogger #SkincareEssentials #SkincareAddiction #SkincareLovers #BloggingCommunity #365Skincare #SkincareFavourites #BeautyBloggerAU #MelbourneSkincare #BBloggersAUS #JordanSamuelHydrateMist #Elemis #ElemisSuperfood #Superfood #Laneige #LaneigeCreamSkin #CreamSkin #SkincareMist

3 In, 3 Out ...⁠ A few of my recent empties and 3 In, 3 Out ...⁠ A few of my recent empties and what I'm swapping them for⁠:⁠ ⁠ ⬅️ @aspectskin Extreme B17 Serum⁠ This has been a favourite for so long, I mix a half pump of this with a few drops of my favourite Hyaluronic Acid for my perfect serum but I'm keen to see if the below product fills that spot.⁠ ➡️ @viviologyskin Niacinamide and HA Serum⁠ I'm pretty excited about this new launch. It smells gorgeous, absorbs so quickly and doesn't feel tacky or sticky on the skin. Early days but so far, so good!⁠ ⁠ ⬅️ @rodialbeauty Dragon's Blood Velvet Cream⁠ This is the ultimate thick and creamy moisturiser for Winter, it's basically solid and has the most indulgent, buttery consistency that my skin just drinks up. I finished this huge tub which has lasted me ages, but I wanted to try something more accessible.⁠ ➡️ @elfcosmeticsau Holy Hydration! Face Cream⁠ I read that this was a 'dupe' of a very fancy (very expensive!) face cream which piqued my interest, but then I saw it was sold out everywhere and then I *really* had to try it. ⁠Feels like a rich cream but doesn't feel greasy in the slightest.⁠ ⁠ ⬅️ @larocheposayaunz Toleriane Ultra Eye Cream⁠ I've really enjoyed this eye cream, it's simple but it hydrates really well and the tiny pump means you get just the right amount each time. Was planning on repurchasing but the below caught my eye.⁠ ➡️ @cerave_aunz Eye Repair Cream⁠ This is so much thicker and creamier than I was expecting, but it's not heavy at all. My eyes are quite sensitive to Milia if I use really heavy/buttery products around them, but I've been using this for over a week so far and I've had no issues, just hydration and comfort.⁠ ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ [Image Description: the listed products on a wooden shelf]⁠ ⁠⁠ #BeautyTalk #BeautyReview #InstaBeautyAU #365InSkincare #SkincareDiary #SkincareDaily #SkincareBlog #SkincareReview #SkinRoutine #SkincareReviews #InstaBeautyBlogger #SkincareEssentials #SkincareLovers #DiscoverUnder1K #365Skincare #SkincareFavourites #BeautyBloggerAU #AussieSkincare #MelbourneSkincare #AspectDr #AspectSkinCare #AspectSkin⁠ #ViviologySkin⁠ #RodialBeauty #Rodial⁠ #SkinIsMoreThanSkin #LaRochePosay⁠ #CeraveAU #CeraveLove⁠ #ElfCosmeticsAU⁠

Well, Winter has well and truly settled in now, so I wanted to share the link again because I'm still loving them ☃️⁠ ⁠ Link in the bio x⁠ ⁠ What are your favourite Winter moisturisers??⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ [Image Description: three swatches of thick and buttery creams on a white marble board]⁠ ⁠ #BeautyTalk #BeautyReview #InstaBeautyAU #365InSkincare #SkincareDiary #SkincareDaily #SkincareReview #SkinRoutine #SkincareReviews #InstaBeautyBlogger #SkincareEssentials #MelbourneBloggers #SkincareLovers #BloggingCommunity #365Skincare #SkincareFavourites #BeautyBloggerAU #BBloggersAU #AussieSkincare #MelbourneSkincare #BBloggersAUS #CharlotteTilbury #CharlotteTilburyMagicCream #Murad #MuradIRC #MuradIntenseRecoveryCream #Rodial #RodialDragonCream #TextureTuesday #TextureTuesdays
Talking a few non-face favourites today, specifica Talking a few non-face favourites today, specifically oils 🍯⁠ ⁠ ✨ @joicoaustralianz KPAK Hair Oil⁠ Unfortunately, this gorgeous and lightweight oil has been discontinued so I'll be on the hunt for an alternative soon. If anyone knows of a hair oil that works for thin, dehydrated hair without weighing it down but still adds hydration and shine (quite the demand, I know) send your recommendations my way, please!⁠ ⁠ ✨ @essie Apricot Cuticle Oil⁠ This makes such a difference to the strength of my nails, and obviously keeps my cuticles looking better too. I need to get better at using this more regularly, but even just once a week makes such a difference.⁠ ⁠ ✨ @dermalogicaaus Phyto Replenish Body Oil⁠ If you like a fast-absorbing body oil that hydrates without feeling greasy, I suggest you look into this one! I apply this post-shower (before, after or instead of body cream depending on how my dry skin is feeling) a couple of times a week and just let it soak in for a few minutes before I get dressed.⁠ ⁠ Are there any oils you're loving at the minute??⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ [Image Description: the three listed products on a white end table with a book stack, candle and a little jar of matches in the background]⁠ ⁠ #Essie #Dermalogica #WinterSkin #SkincareOil #Joico #BeautyTalk #BeautyReview #InstaBeautyAU #365InSkincare #SkincareDiary #SkincareDaily #SkincareBlog #SkincareReview #SkinRoutine #SkincareReviews #InstaBeautyBlogger #SkincareEssentials #MelbourneBloggers #SkincareLovers #BloggingCommunity #365Skincare #BeautyBloggerAU #BBloggersAU #AussieSkincare #MelbourneSkincare #BBloggersAUS
