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.

  • ⁣⠀ Just some @makeuprevolution loving on this Sunday night. I've loved this brand for so many years! It was the first drugstore brand that was actually still affordable in Australia! I think a lot of non-Aussie makeup lovers don't realise how expensive makeup is in Australia. I'm not just talking through currency conversion I mean extra $$$ on top of the currency conversion and so even "drugstore" brands are actually quite pricey here - a Maybelline mascara is $20 a pop (that's a lot for an affordable brand) and don't get me started on high-end makeup ..... ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Getting off track with this tangent - but Makeup revolution is AMAZING and still a true bargain. Back when I first discovered them to now they've revved up their quality 1000x and don't just make 'dupes' they have an identity of their own. I don't mind dupe brands (I know makeup brands should do their own thing) but there's only so much variety that can exist.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ To you, Aussie makeup lovers out there, does the cost of makeup frustrate you?⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #style #bbloggerau #instabeauty #makeupreviews #sfs #instabeautyau #bblogger #beautyguru #instagood #makeupreview #makeupflatlay #makeupcollection #makeupartist #bloggersunitedau #beautybloggersau #sigmapro #urbandecaycosmetics #makeupgeek #makeupgeekcosmetics #biscuitsnmakeup #kickasscreatives #makeuprevolution #eyeshadowpalette #eyeshadowpalettes #sephora #highendmakeup #makeuppassion #makeuppost #drugstoremakeup #affordablemakeup
  • The Mineral Veil Primer from @hourglasscosmetics is a bloody miracle in a bottle. Up until this product - there hasn't been a single primer, foundation or setting powder (or a combination of) that has kept my t-zone fresh AF all day. I literally need 1-2 touch ups through the day MAX! And the touch up is only slight and on the nose (my forehead and chin look fresh all day long).⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ This ain't no gimmick - this primer is freaking awesome and if I could only use one primer for ever, you're looking at my choice.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Have you tried this primer from hourglass?⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #style #bbloggerau #instabeauty #makeup #instabeautyau #bblogger #igbeauty #beautyguru #instagood #ausbeauty #flatlay #makeupflatlay #makeupcollection #makeupartist #meccabeautyjunkie #bloggersunitedau #beautybloggersau #sigmapro #urbandecaycosmetics #makeupgeek #makeupgeekcosmetics #biscuitsnmakeup #kickasscreatives #sigmabeauty #hourglasscosmetics #luxurymakeup #sephora #highendmakeup #makeuppassion #makeuppost
  • It doesn't take long to realize (based on a quick scroll through my feed) that I have an obsession with @toofaced within that obsession is a secondary obsession with their bronzers! I mean I am super fussy with bronzers (thanks to my pale skin) - so the fact that 3/3 bronzers I've picked up I love is a mini-miracle (two of those bronzers having a subtle glowy finish). ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Have you tried any of the too faced bronzers?⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #style #bbloggerau #instabeauty #makeup #instabeautyau #bblogger #igbeauty #beautyguru #instagood #ausbeauty #flatlay #makeupflatlay #makeupcollection #makeupartist #meccabeautyjunkie #bloggersunitedau #beautybloggersau #sigmapro #urbandecaycosmetics #makeupgeek #makeupgeekcosmetics #biscuitsnmakeup #kickasscreatives #sigmabeauty #toofaced #meccacosmetica #sephora #bronzer #beautyreview #beautyjunkie⁣⠀

  • CURRENT SETTING POWDER COLLECTION ... You could say I have a mini obsession. I use to only own 3 setting powders for the longest time and I was very much content with that. Now days I've become obsessed with setting powders because they really do make a massive difference to your base - especially depending on what foundation you choose to wear. And despite how messy loose powders are I definitely lean for more loose powder over pressed.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ What setting powders have you been loving?⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ @nyxcosmetics_australia⁣⠀ @toofaced⁣⠀ @hourglasscosmetics⁣⠀ @beccacosmetics⁣⠀ @hudabeautyshop⁣⠀ @hudabeauty⁣⠀ @tartecosmetics⁣⠀ @thinlizzybeauty⁣⠀ @lauramercier⁣⠀ @rcmamakeup⁣⠀ @wetnwildbeauty⁣⠀ @physiciansformula⁣⠀ @rimellondonau⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ^ Partly Gifted ⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #makeupcollection #palettecollection #eyeshadowpalette #toofaced #anastasiabeverlyhills #maccosmetics #makeupjunkie #toofacedpalette #makeuppalette #makeupjunkie #makeupmess #beautyflatlay #makeupflatlay #flatlaymakeup #flatlaysquad #slaytheflatlay #ausbeautyblogger #ausbeautybabes #bloggerau #beautyaddiction #beautyjunkie #makeuplovers #discoverunder10k #beautyobsessed #beautycommunity #beautycollection #sephora #sephoraaus #meccabeautyjunkie #lauramercier⁣⠀
  • Lip products are one of the few areas of makeup I don't hoard - I pretty much only wear nude lippies and when it comes to reapplication I am the laziest person on earth so if I reapply lipstick even once throughout the day - it's a miracle. But these @colourpopcosmetics ultra glossies are one of my most reached for lip products. They're comfy on the lips, give good colour pay off and wear off evenly. I love wearing them alone and over lipstick!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Have you tried any colour pop lip products?⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #makeupmess #makeupaddiction #makeupoftheday #makeupblogger #makeupblog #makeupaddict #beautycommunity #beautyproducts #beautyjunkie #bbloggeraus #bbloggerau #australianblogger #ausbeautyaddicts #beautyreview #makeupbrushes #makeupguru #beautyaddict #ilovemakeup #makeupporn #makeupobsessed #sfs #instabeauty #gaintrick #colourpopcosmetics #makeupgeekcosmetics #discoverunder10k #drugstoremakeup #colourpopmurah⁣⠀
  • I had babysitting duties with my favourite human today and that means there's ZERO point in painting my face with makeup when you're running around after a toddler, but here's a makeup flat lay of what I would have worn on my face. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ What makeup did you wear today?⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ @maybelline⁣⠀ @maccosmetics⁣⠀ @maccosmeticsaustralia⁣⠀ @smashboxcosmetics⁣⠀ @toofaced⁣⠀ @nyxcosmetics_australia⁣⠀ @anastasiabeverlyhills⁣⠀ @stilacosmetics⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ^ Partly Gifted⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #makeupmess #makeupaddiction #makeupoftheday #makeupblogger #makeupblog #makeupaddict #beautycommunity #beautyproducts #beautyjunkie #bbloggeraus #bbloggerau #australianblogger #ausbeautyaddicts #beauty #makeupbrushes #makeupguru #beautyaddict #ilovemakeup #milanicosmetics #makeupporn #makeupobsessed #sfs #instabeauty #gaintrick #colourpopcosmetics #makeupgeekcosmetics #discoverunder100k #tarte #sephoraaus⁣⠀
  • For this Sunday evening, I thought I'd chat to you guys about this little thing I've been obsessed with lately - @thejunoco velvet sponge! Ever since trying it - I've been exclusively using this to apply my foundation and I'm a foundation brush kind of gal! It does require a different technique compared to the beauty blender - Smoothing rather than bouncing but every single time I use this - I love how my foundation turns out. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ And the best part - It doesn't absorb all your foundation and your soul as well!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Have you tried this fluffy sponge?⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #makeuponfleek #makeuptips #makeuponpoint #ausbeautybabes #bloggerau #makeuphaul #slave2makeup #makeupflatlay #makeupmess #makeupcollection #bossbabe #beautyjunkie #beautycommunity #makeuphoarder #makeupobsession #foundationapplication #foundationroutine #beautytalk #instabeautyau #associationofbeauty #beautygram #beautyinfluencer #makeupblog #bloggerlife #makeup #makeupoftheday #urbandecaycosmetics #meccabeautyjunkie #beautytools @beautysponge #makeupbrushes⁣⠀
