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.

  • Makeup .... lots & lots ..... and lots of makeup! You can never have too much, I like to spend some evenings rummaging through my makeup collection & staring at all my babies. I don't even want to think of the $$ in regards to my entire makeup collection because I feel like that number would most likely make me faint. Isn't it funny how despite how much makeup we can own, there's always more to crave. I naturally go through period where I don't crave much, but then it comes back round and hits me hard! I currently have 3 orders planned after nearly 2 months of not buying anything!⠀ ⠀ Do you find yourself craving lots of makeup despite having a massive collection?⠀ ⠀ @nyxcosmetics_australia⠀ @bourjoisau⠀ @obsession⠀ @db_cosmetics⠀ @benefitaustralia⠀ @lagirlcosmetics⠀ @ofracosmetics⠀ @lorealmakeup⠀ @rawwcosmetics⠀ ⠀ ^ Partly gifted⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #makeupmess #makeupaddiction #makeupoftheday #makeupblogger #makeupblog #makeupaddict #beautycommunity #beautyproducts #beautyjunkie #bbloggeraus #bbloggerau #australianblogger #ausbeautyaddicts #beauty #makeupbrushes #makeupguru #beautyaddict #ilovemakeup #milanicosmetics #makeupporn #makeupobsessed #associationofbeauty #instabeautyau #beautytips #tarteshapetape #colourpopcosmetics #makeupgeekcosmetics #discoverunder100k #tarte #nyxcosmetics
  • Happy Hump day you beautiful peeps! Well, today calls for a flat lay with some oomph! That just basically means I'm whipping out some props! My prop collection has skyrocketed in the last year and I'm always looking for new bits & bobs I can use in my photos, I'm way overdue for a trip to Kmart to hunt down some more props!⠀ ⠀ Are you into using blog props for your photos?⠀ ⠀ ^ 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 #sephora #toofaced⠀
  • Blushes, Highlighters & bronzers - 3 of my favorite things to hoard! But seriously though what would we do without these 3 products, they are what essentially bring our face to life after we've painted it with foundation & lots of concealer!⠀ ⠀ Which is your favourite? Blushes, Bronzers or highlighters? (Or in my case - ALL THREE).⠀ ⠀ @youngbloodaus⠀ @maccosmetics⠀ @maccosmeticsaustralia⠀ ⠀ ^ Partly Gifted⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #makeupmess #makeupaddiction #makeupblog #beautycommunity #beautyproducts #beautyjunkie #bbloggeraus #bbloggerau #australianblogger #ausbeautyaddicts #makeupbrushes #makeupguru #beautyaddict #makeupporn #makeupobsessed #discoverunder100k #flatlaystyle #flatlayoftheday #flatlays #makeuptips #associationofbeauty #makeupcollection #makeuphoarder #beautyreview #maccosmetics #highlighteronfleek #beautygram #beautyproduct #beautytips #beautyinfluencer⠀

  • Another minimal makeup days, I've been vibing those lately!

  • Friday's mean business and no other eyeshadow palette says business like the @shopvioletvoss 'Holy grails' Palette. Aside from the fact the shades are absolutely stunning, I love the names of the shades (many being a reference to F.R.I.E.N.D.S)⠀ ⠀ Have you tried any of the Violet Voss palettes?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #makeupmess #makeupaddiction #makeupoftheday #makeupblogger #makeupblog #makeupaddict #beautycommunity #beautyproducts #beautyjunkie #bbloggeraus #bbloggerau #australianblogger #ausbeautyaddicts #beauty #makeupbrushes #makeupguru #beautyaddict #ilovemakeup #milanicosmetics #makeupporn #makeupobsessed #sfs #instabeauty #eyeshadowpalettes #colourpopcosmetics #makeupgeekcosmetics #discoverunder100k #violetvoss #eyeshadowpalette⠀
  • Why is it that even when your makeup look, looks super natural and simple on the face you still end up using a million products? I feel like I need to challenge myself and come up with a makeup look that uses few makeup products as possible.⠀ ⠀ @bourjoisau⠀ @tartecosmetics⠀ @wetnwildbeauty⠀ @db_cosmetics⠀ @youngbloodaus⠀ @colourpopcosmetics⠀ @obsession⠀ @thebodyshopaust⠀ ⠀ Would any of you guys like to see a challenge like that?⠀ ⠀ ^ 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 #thebodyshop #wetnwildbeauty⠀
  • So I've been doing a little trick during blog photo sessions, I briefly showed it on my Insta stories and so many of you guys were curious about it! This idea was inspired by the awesome @makeupwithcortney and I basically plan my Flat lay combos beforehand, bundle them together & lay them out on my bed. Then I transfer one bundle at a time to my blog table & snap the shizz out of it - then onto the next makeup flat lay. It's been a game changer for being super productive with my flat lays! As I write this I have 8 Flatlays bundled up together and ready to go! ⠀ ⠀ How do you guys prep for a productive photo session?⠀ ⠀ @hourglasscosmetics⠀ @josiemarancosmetics⠀ @tartecosmetics⠀ @wetnwildbeauty⠀ @chichicosmeticsofficial⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #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 #josiemaran #tartecosmetics #wetnwildbeauty⠀
