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.

  • I've been on a No makeup-makeup kick lately (mostly because the cold weather makes 8 hours of sleep feel like 3) but today I wanted it all, all the makeup, no steps excluded! Makeup seriously is magic, it always makes me feel like I have my life together. I mean I don't but with glowy cheekbones and flawless skin, does it matter if your life isn't together?⠀ ⠀ What makeup did you wear today? Ps. I am aware this flat lay isn't no-makeup makeup esque but it was pretty and I felt like posting it.⠀ ⠀ ^ Partly Gifted⠀ ⠀ @inikaorganic⠀ @chichicosmeticsofficial⠀ @makeuprevolution⠀ @toofaced⠀ @smashboxcosmetics⠀ @clinique_oz⠀ @ofracosmetics⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #makeuprevolution #toofaced #colourdrainecosmetics #style #bbloggerau #glamraider #bbloggersau #instabeauty #makeup #instabeautyau #bblogger #igbeauty #instamakeup #igmakeup #beautyguru #instagood #ausbeauty #flatlay #makeupflatlay #makeupoftheday #makeupcollection #makeupartist #meccabeautyjunkie #bloggersunitedau #beautybloggersau #urbandecaycosmetics #makeupgeek #makeupgeekcosmetics #biscuitsnmakeup #kickasscreatives⠀
  • Snapping flat lays can be an extreme sport! We get into weird angles, create a level of mess that previously wasn't thought to be possible and spend a long time editing photos. Most of the time the photos turn out average or worse need to be retaken but some times the photos turn out awesome and you realize the back pain was worth it. This is one of those times!⠀ ⠀ What's a photo you've recently snapped that you're very happy with?!⠀ ⠀ @ofracosmetics⠀ @makeupforeverofficial⠀ @maybelline⠀ @toofaced⠀ @benefitaustralia⠀ @thebodyshopaust⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #makeupmess #makeupaddiction #makeupoftheday #makeupblogger #makeupblog #makeupaddict #beautycommunity #beautyproducts #beautyjunkie #bbloggeraus #bbloggerau #australianblogger #ausbeautyaddicts #beauty #makeupbrushes #makeupguru #beautyaddict #ilovemakeup #benefitcosmetics #makeupporn #makeupobsessed #sfs #instabeauty #gaintrick #colourpopcosmetics #ofra #makeupgeekcosmetics #discoverunder10k #makeupforever #slaytheflatlay⠀
  • Who would have thought that A non-makeup related post would ever land on the grid?! If you've been following along on Insta stories (and/or the Insta story highlight board), you'd know since late April I've been on the reading bandwagon and I haven't stopped, when this post goes up it will be EXACTLY 3 months since I started reading books consistently and I'm halfway through my 19th book. I never thought I'd be a quick reader (I never finished the books being studied during school) but it's safe to say I'm officially a book worm - no seriously I've been buying books over makeup - NEW ME WHO DIS!⠀ ⠀ These are among the books I've read - (My Insta story highlight board titled 'Books' Will have an updated track record of every book I've read'⠀ ⠀ What books have you been reading lately?⠀ ⠀ @booktopiabooks⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #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 #bookobsessed #bookcommunity #books⠀
  • You guys know I don't spend a high amount of $$$ on a single makeup product unless it's worth it. This @chantecaille 'Just skin' is $117 AUD a pop. It's light coverage, gives a lit from within kind of glow, looks natural on the skin, easy to apply and is packed with some lovely ingredients. Is it worth the price tag? Nahhh I feel like Bare minerals complexion rescue / It cosmetics CC cream are similar (Half the price) and a little more long-wearing.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I still like this a lot and will happily use it up but it definitely costs a lot for what it is.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Have you tried any fancy smancy makeup lately that you didn't find to be worth the price?⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ #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 #chantecaille #foundationroutine #foundationmurah⠀⠀
  • I can be quite lazy when it comes to face masks so it takes a lot for me to shout Holy grail about a face mask but this @herbivorebotanicals 'Blue Tansy' mask is HOLY GRAIL STATUS! I'm obsessed with AHAs/BHAs but this takes it to the next level. The texture is one of my main skin issues (I'm talking small bumps that aren't pimples) - this product alone has made a massive difference in reducing them and giving me smooth skin! I'm up to my second jar it's 100000% worth it!⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Ps. It's very watery so be careful to not knock over the product because you will spill out the product.⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ #skincarereview #skinstagram #discoverunder10k #iloveskincare #skincaredaily #skincaregoals #skincareobsession #skincareproducts #skincareobsessed #skincarecollection #skincareroutine #aesthetic #skincareblog #skincarefirst #skincarediary #beautycare #makeupaddiction #topshelfie #intothegloss #skincarefirst #skincaredaily #skincareobsessed #skincareaddict #luxurybeauty #beautycommunity #skincarejunkie #skincarediary #igskincare #skincareregimen #skinlove⠀⠀
  • Here's to a productive day! I'm definitely in need of one! Why does the blogging to-do list seem endless? There's always something to do but I love that.

  • I always seem to have this reoccurring dream that I'm let loose in Mecca and go on the biggest shopping spree ever! That wouldn't happen in real life ever but who says you can't bend the rules in dream land?! My Mecca wish list is surprisingly small at the moment but here are some products from there that I've been LURVVVING!⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Name a product from Mecca you've been obsessed with lately!⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ @urbandecaycosmetics⠀⠀ @toofaced⠀⠀ @bobbibrownaustalia⠀⠀ @stilacosmetics⠀⠀ @clinique_oz⠀⠀ @hourglasscosmetics⠀⠀ @meccacosmetica⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ #pinkwednesday #pink #oddlysatisfying #intothegloss #facemask #stilacosmetics #urbandecaycosmetics #toofaced #contentcreator #millenialpink #beautygram #hypebaebeauty #topshelfbeauty #athomebeauty #365inskincare #hourglasscosmetics #makeuptransformation #makeuptutorials #1minutemakeup #makeuptutorials #wingedliner #meccacosmetica #highlighters #affordablemakeup #makeupideas #cutcrease #makeuphaul #revolutionmakeup #natashadenona #meccabeautyjunkie
  • I FIIII-NAHHH-LEEE picked up a product from @narsissist I've always been the weirdo who never felt drawn to any products from them (minus this palette and the wanted palette which I missed out on). This palette is so stinking gorgeous I just want to stare at it all day long!⠀⠀ ⠀ Update: After playing with this palette function wise - it's not anything special. The shimmers have sparkle fall out which sheds over the face and into the crease, plus the shimmers don't have that boom effect on the lids (even though I've applied them with my finger)⠀ ⠀⠀ Have you tried anything from Nars?⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ #pinkwednesday #pink #oddlysatisfying #intothegloss #facemask #Nars #texture #skincareshop #contentcreator #millenialpink #beautygram #hypebaebeauty #topshelfbeauty #athomebeauty #instaskin #makeuptransformation #makeuptutorials #1minutemakeup #makeuptutorials #wingedliner #highlighters #affordablemakeup #makeupideas #cutcrease #makeuphaul #natashadenona #narscosmetics #narsissist #eyeshadowpalettes #meccabeautyjunkie⠀⠀
