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.

  • Nothing like a Hump day where I slap on lots of makeup to try and perk myself up for the rest of the week. I don't know why the exhaustion hits me like a rock on Wednesdays but that's why the invented coffee. Can you imagine if coffee didn't exist? The world would descend into chaos. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ^ Partly Gifted⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ @lauramercier⁠⠀ @toofaced⁠⠀ @urbandecaycosmetics⁠⠀ @pixibeauty⁠⠀ @diormakeup⁠⠀ @bobbibrown⁠⠀ @farsalicare⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #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 #lauramercier #bobbibrown #dior #diormakeup #highlighteronfleek⁠⠀
  • I love me some good drugstore makeup but there aren't many drugstore brands that I have numerous favorites from. @maybelline kills it with their mascaras and concealers AND I also love their brow products, eyeliners, and that setting spray!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Name one affordable makeup brand you've been loving?⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #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 #maybelline #drugstoremakeup #affordablemakeup⁠⠀
  • If you guys haven't gathered by my Instagram stories, I've been a little bit obsessed with books to the point where I've been buying more books than makeup. No, I haven't been kidnapped. But since starting work I wanted a little pick me up treat after surviving my first week of 4 am wake ups. So I did a bit of a @sephoraaus order and picked up many things that were sitting on my wish list.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I'm actually surprising myself with how tame I've been with the makeup purchases.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ What makeup have you bought lately?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ @coverfx⁠⠀ @nudestix⁠⠀ @benefitaustralia⁠⠀ @natashadenona⁠⠀ @natashadenonamakeup⁠⠀ @fentybeauty⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #beautyproduct #makeupnatural #beautyreview #makeupgoals #ausbeautybabes #makeuphaul #influencers #beautyinfluencer #makeuplooks #makeupfun #highlighteronfleek #makeupmess #makeupblog #beautycommunity #makeupobsessed #australianblogger #bbloggeraus #bbloggerau #makeupporn #associationofbeauty #makeupaddiction #slave2makeup #makeupcollection #beautygram #fentybeauty #bronzer #discoverunder100k #sephoraaus #sephorahaul #natashadenona⁠⠀
  • Sundays usually were minimal makeup days for me but since starting work - Work days involve super minimal makeup which leaves me craving all the makeup on weekends! Anyone else?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Do you guys keep your makeup simple during the work week the stack it on, on the weekends?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ^ PR Gifted⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ @hourglasscosmetics⁠⠀ @db_cosmetics⁠⠀ @nyxcosmetics_australia⁠⠀ @hylamide⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #makeupmess #makeupaddiction #makeupblog #beautycommunity #beautyproducts #beautyjunkie #bbloggeraus #bbloggerau #australianblogger #ausbeautyaddicts #makeupbrushes #makeupguru #beautyaddict #makeupporn #makeupobsessed #discoverunder100k #flatlaystyle #flatlayoftheday #flatlays #makeuptips #associationofbeauty #makeupcollection #makeuphoarder #beautyproduct #beautytips #beautyinfluencer #hourglasscosmetics #dbcosmetics⁠⠀
  • I have a thing for setting powders .... sort of (more like an obsession with them). I also lean more towards loose powders (even though they can be messy AF) because I find they just somehow set my foundation much better than pressed, I actually feel my foundation is more locked in with loose setting powders. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Which do you prefer a pressed or loose setting powder?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ @toofaced⁠⠀ @coverfx⁠⠀ @beccacosmetics⁠⠀ @tartecosmetics⁠⠀ @marcjacobsbeauty⁠⠀ @rimmellondonau⁠⠀ @hourglasscosmetics⁠⠀ @chichicosmeticsofficial⁠⠀ @rcmamakeup⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #makeupmess #makeupaddiction #makeupblog #beautycommunity #beautyproducts #beautyjunkie #bbloggeraus #bbloggerau #australianblogger #ausbeautyaddicts #makeupbrushes #makeupguru #beautyaddict #makeupporn #makeupobsessed #discoverunder100k #flatlaystyle #flatlayoftheday #flatlays #makeuptips #associationofbeauty #makeupcollection #makeuphoarder #beautyreview #foundations #foundationmurah #beautygram #beautyproduct #beautytips #beautyinfluencer⁠⠀
  • Oh boy do I miss snapping flat lays and blog photos in general. I thought I was slacking off on the blog duties before, throw work into the mix and I'm lucky to get anything done. Once I figure out some kind of routine for weekends I'll be back to getting out brand spanking new content.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Drop down your requests for content you'd like to see down below!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ^ Partly Gifted⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ @chichicosmeticsofficial⁠⠀ @hourglasscosmetics⁠⠀ @lorealmakeup⁠⠀ @hudabeauty⁠⠀ @covergirlau⁠⠀ @hudabeautyshop⁠⠀ @nyxcosmetics_australia⁠⠀ @ciatelondon⁠⠀ @thebalmaustralia⁠⠀ @maybelline⁠⠀ @coverfx⁠⠀ @maccosmeticsaustralia⁠⠀ @narsissist⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #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 #narsissist #ciatelondon #maccosmeticsaustralia #narsignited #thebalm
  • Hump day = extra coffee and about an entire bottle of concealer under the eyes! Ps.

  • You guys know by now that warm tones are my jam, but corals are like warm tones only upped a level! Despite this palette looking colorful (and scary to those who aren't warm-tone junkies), the palette is surprisingly wearable. Except for the yellow shade, I don't know how to even begin figuring out yellow eye shadow. @hudabeautyshop⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Do any of you guys know how to use yellow eye shadow?⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #beautybloggerlife #makeupfavourites #beautyblogs #beautyjunkies #beautyenthusiast #motd #indobeautysquad #makeuponabudget #nautralbeat #beautyfavourites #eyemakeup #eyeshadow #paletteporn #instabeautyblogger #skincareaddiction #instabeautyblog #makeupfavourites #beautybloggersdaily #beautybloggersclub #closeupmakeup #abeautyedit #bblog #beautytime #beautytrends #eyeshadowpalettes #hudabeauty #warmtones⁠⠀
  • I'M SO EXCITED to finally be testing out @halobeauty Kiwi supplements. I'm not into "beauty" supplements or following the bandwagon of products launched by youtubers BUT if there were any exception it would definitely involve @glamlifeguru⁠⠀ I don't have overly troubled skin but let's see if I notice any improvements. I'm going to be taking weekly photos but you shall see Before /Afters after the two months.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Have you guys tried Halo beauty?⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #beautybloggerlife #makeupfavourites #beautyblogs #beautyjunkies #safebeauty #beautyenthusiast #motd #indobeautysquad #makeuponabudget #nautralbeat #beautyfavourites #greenbeautylover #instabeautyblogger #skincareaddiction #instabeautyblog #skincarecollection #makeupfavourites #beautybloggersdaily #beautybloggersclub #closeupmakeup #abeautyedit #bblog #beautytime #beautytrends #skincarecommunity #halobeauty #skincareroutine⁠⠀
