I'm Bernadette and I have a frightening obsession with all things beauty - especially makeup. So here I bring you a beauty blog to enable your shopping addiction.

  • The number of eyeshadow palettes I own (and the rate at which I buy them) ... You'd think I'm a 9 headed alien who has about 10 eyes on each head!! But some battles you win and some battles you lose. My lack of willpower + The drop-dead gorgeous palettes that are launching left, right & center ..... equals me soon to be featured on an episode of hoarders!⠀ ⠀ What's one category of makeup you have ZERO willpower over?⠀ ⠀ @hudabeauty⠀ @shophudabeauty⠀ @makeuprevolution⠀ @tartecosmetics⠀ @shopvioletvoss⠀ @colourpopcosmetics⠀ @urbandecaycosmetics⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #makeupmess #eyeshadowpalettes #makeuprevolution #violetvoss #shophudabeauty #colourpopcult #associationofbeauty #eyeshadows #makeupjunkie #makeuphoard #eyeshadowswatches #eyeshadowtutorial #eyeshadows #eyeshadowlooks #makeupporn #discoverunder10k #beautygram #beautyproducts #beautycommunity #makeupaddict #bloglovin #beautyinfluencer #beautytalk #instabeautyau #bloggerlife #beautyjunkie #makeupobsession #hudabeauty #colourpopcosmetics #tartecosmetics⠀
  • Here are some of the bits and bobs I painted my face with. I kept it simple as I wasn't vibing a full-on look. I also needed an excuse to use that cute tray from Kmart for a photo!⠀ ⠀ What makeup did you wear today?⠀ ⠀ @pixibeauty⠀ @nyxcosmetics_australia⠀ @thebodyshopaus⠀ @tartecosmetics⠀ ⠀ ^ Partly gifted⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #style #bbloggerau #instabeauty #makeup #instabeautyau #bblogger #igbeauty #beautyguru #instagood #ausbeauty #flatlay #makeupflatlay #makeupcollection #makeupartist #meccabeautyjunkie #bloggersunitedau #beautybloggersau #sigmapro #urbandecaycosmetics #makeupgeek #makeupgeekcosmetics #biscuitsnmakeup #kickasscreatives #sigmabeauty #tartecosmetics #thebodyshop #nyxcosmetics #pixibeauty⠀
  • I was pretty chuffed when these two gorgeous gems arrived on my doorstep from @pixibeauty (considering I've been eyeballing them online for ages!) I needed to snap a photo for you guys before I got stuck in. I'll be giving both of these a spin this week, so keep an eye out on Insta stories!⠀ ⠀ Are you a fan of Pixi Beauty?⠀ ⠀ ^ Gifted⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #style #bbloggerau #instabeauty #makeup #instabeautyau #bblogger #igbeauty #beautyguru #instagood #ausbeauty #flatlay #makeupflatlay #makeupcollection #makeupartist #meccabeautyjunkie #bloggersunitedau #beautybloggersau #sigmapro #urbandecaycosmetics #makeupgeek #makeupgeekcosmetics #biscuitsnmakeup #kickasscreatives #sigmabeauty #pixibeauty #gifted⠀
  • Can I even go one week without posting about @hudabeauty ? Well the answer is no! This little obsession palette in 'Coral obsessions' is awesome! Warm toned but of course more on the coral side. I actually created one of my favourite eye looks using this palette. SWIPE to see said eye look!⠀ ⠀ Are you a fan of @shophudabeauty ?⠀ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #makeuponfleek #makeuptips #makeuponpoint #ausbeautybabes #bloggerau #makeuphaul #slave2makeup #makeupflatlay #makeupmess #makeupcollection #bossbabe #beautyjunkie #beautycommunity #makeuphoarder #makeupobsession #sephoraaus #beautytalk #instabeautyau #associationofbeauty #beautygram #beautyinfluencer #makeupblog #bloggerlife #hudabeauty #shophudabeauty #eyeshadowpalettes #eyeshadowtutorial #eyeshadows #hudabeautypalette #hudabeautyobsessions
  • One of my favourite makeup storage draws! (Not that every highlighter I own could even fit in this draw) These powder highlighters are glorious, glowy and gorgeous! My addiction to highlighters greatly surpasses what is deemed "normal" but who cares?! How bad can one's day be when they have a bomb AF highlighter on?⠀ ⠀ Highlighter addicts ...

  • These are my RIDE OR DIES when it comes to under eye concealer. They never cake up, the blend like a dream and allow my under eye area to look hydrated and the cover so well (I always pair concealer with a corrector) but these concealers are seriously banging!⠀ ⠀ What are your ride or die under eye concealers?⠀ ⠀ @maybelline⠀ @makeuprevolution⠀ @tartecosmetics⠀ @toofaced⠀ @clarinsaus⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #makeuponfleek #makeuptips #makeuponpoint #ausbeautybabes #bloggerau #makeuphaul #slave2makeup #makeupflatlay #makeupmess #makeupcollection #bossbabe #beautyjunkie #beautycommunity #makeuphoarder #makeupobsession #sephoraaus #beautytalk #instabeautyau #associationofbeauty #beautygram #beautyinfluencer #makeupblog #bloggerlife #makeup #makeupoftheday #tartecosmetics #shapetapeconcealer #makeuprevolution #toofaced #maybelline⠀
  • If only our vanities could look this good when a "makeup mess is involved". My vanity usually involves having a million makeup products everywhere - Even some skincare + loose powder sprinkled everywhere - that bugs me the most! That pesky loose powder, I love what it does for my foundation, not so much for my clothes or vanity!⠀ ⠀ Do you battle with loose powder going everywhere?!⠀ ⠀ @hourglasscosmetics⠀ @anastasiabeverlyhills⠀ @itcosmetics⠀ @lorealmakeup⠀ @rimmellondonau⠀ @maybelline⠀ @inikaorganic⠀ ⠀ ^ Partly Gifted⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #beautyproduct #makeupnatural #beautyreview #makeupgoals #ausbeautybabes #makeuphaul #influencers #beautyinfluencer #makeuplooks #makeupfun #highlighteronfleek #makeupmess #makeupblog #beautycommunity #makeupobsessed #australianblogger #bbloggeraus #bbloggerau #makeupporn #associationofbeauty #makeupaddiction #slave2makeup #makeupcollection #beautygram #makeupbrushes #bronzer #discoverunder100k #itcosmetics #hourglasscosmetics #anastasiabeverlyhills⠀
  • So I may love glowy skin but what I don't love is when my nose (and T-zone) get shiny AF! I've been experimenting with more mattifying products in the t-zone region to help control that area and this @coverfx custom blot drops is one of those products. It's super hydrating and you only need a tiny bit but I really do find it to help with oil control. I have learnt that there's no one product to magically keep the t-zone looking matte all day but this one is a goodie as it doesn't leave the skin looking dry and flat!⠀ ⠀ What mattifying products do you swear by?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #beautyproduct #makeupnatural #beautyreview #makeupgoals #ausbeautybabes #makeuphaul #influencers #beautyinfluencer #makeuplooks #makeupfun #highlighteronfleek #makeupmess #makeupblog #beautycommunity #makeupobsessed #australianblogger #bbloggeraus #sephora #makeupporn #associationofbeauty #makeupaddiction #slave2makeup #makeupcollection #beautygram #makeupbrushes #bronzer #discoverunder100k #coverfx #sephoraaus⠀
  • Note to self - take more spread out styled flat lays! I've always loved this kind of flat lay even though they are slightly tricky because composition and balance play a big role in this style. In general, I need to step up my photo-taking because I have been procrastinating in that area far too much!⠀ ⠀ What's your favourite flat lay style?⠀ ⠀ ^ Partly Gifted⠀ ⠀ @maybelline⠀ @innoxaaus⠀ @iheartrevolution⠀ @foacosmetics⠀ @meccacosmetica⠀ @tartecosmetics⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #makeupmess #makeupaddiction #makeupblog #beautycommunity #beautyproducts #beautyjunkie #bbloggeraus #bbloggerau #australianblogger #ausbeautyaddicts #makeupbrushes #makeupguru #beautyaddict #makeupporn #makeupobsessed #discoverunder100k #flatlaystyle #flatlayoftheday #flatlays #makeuptips #associationofbeauty #makeupcollection #makeuphoarder #maybelline #tarte #tarteshapetape #beautygram #beautyproduct #beautytips #beautyinfluencer⠀
