Hello everyone! I hope your weekend has been going great! 
On my end things have been a bit of a blur, I have had a lot of stuff to sort out before I go to Melbourne on a lil holiday… and am worried I won’t get it all done! :S I am away for about a week, so during that time the blog will be quiet. It’s good to take a break now and again as I find that I come back refreshed and with new ideas!
Upon my return, I have an Empties/Newbies, new Australian certified organic makeup range, and Aveeno posts planned, so there will be quite a bit of variety coming your way! I’ll also tell you more about my trip.
Before I go I’d like to share with you my FOTD (Face Of The Day) for today. I’m no makeup artist but I am quite happy with what I have created here, because I don’t wear colourful makeup very often (I tend to think it either a) makes me look old or b) makes me look like a member of ABBA lol!). I decided to create this look as I am going to see a friend’s Fringe (Adelaide Fringe Festival) show which is quite colourful and fun.
I have created the eye look – minus mascara & eyeliner – with Vani-T Mineral Colour Crystal eyeshadows. No filters on here so be kind haha!
It is very humid here at the moment and my hair is going nutz! 
Vani-T shadows used:
- Pisces Blue*
- Be My Valentine*
- Grape Parfait*
- Peacock Blue*
Blend blend blend! I added Dolly Wink liquid liner in Black to give a bit more definition (reviewed here). Mascara* is from Eye of Horus (previously reviewed here).
On my face I have used CoverGirl liquid makeup in Ivory topped with Prestige Cosmetics‘ Skin Loving Minerals powder in Light (has been featured TONS of times haha) and Vani-T Mineral Blush in Gelati*. The lippie is Face Of Australia‘s Lip Quench in Pink Champagne.
I have also previously done a detailed review on Vani-T cosmetics (here); the range of eyeshadow colours available is really amazing and there are currently 40 (yes, 40!!!) shades. You can check the shades out – and purchase any you’re keen on - here.

What do you think about brightly coloured makeup for day wear? Yay or nay?

Thank you Emma! I did
very hot outside so glad to be home now, however! 
I love this look on you Sarah. Really pretty and summery. It is lovely for a change and I am definitely interested in learning more about Vani-T products.

Hi Kate thanks very much!
I think Kira-Lea has something organised with them for a future ABBM brand meet, but in the meantime I could bring some of what I have to the High Tea event so people can have a look at them & try out. They do body and hair products too which I’m yet to try!
I love your eye make up! Reminds me of those rainbow Paddlepop ice creams?? You look so pretty and have fun in Melbourne!

Thank you very much Louise! Funnily enough, when I had finished it I had also thought hmm this reminds me of Paddlepops! Lol
I love wearing bright colours. Just yesterday I had primary colours for my eye make-up.
I really like this look. Very summery. I third the Paddle Pop comment. Hehe. L
Thanks Bethany! Oh that sounds really interesting, using primary colours. You should do a blog post on it (if you haven’t already!)!
