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.

  • You know that feeling when you discover products you are crazy about but you're also sad about it ... That's how I feel about @muradskincareaus - I'm obsessed with their stuff which is bad news for my bank account. I'm already in need of repurchasing their pomegrante mask which I freaking adore & that cleanser right there ... I have yet to find a cleanser I have strong feelings for ... but that one comes really close!⠀ ⠀ What's a fancy skincare brand you love .... despite the price tag?⠀ ⠀ ^ Gifted⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #style #bbloggerau #instabeauty #makeup #instabeautyau #bblogger #igbeauty #beautyguru #instagood #ausbeauty #flatlay #makeupflatlay #makeupcollection #makeupartist #meccabeautyjunkie #bloggersunitedau #beautybloggersau #sigmapro #urbandecaycosmetics #makeupgeek #muradskincare #skincareroutine #skincaretips #luxuryskincare #skincareblogger #makeupgeekcosmetics #biscuitsnmakeup #kickasscreatives #sigmabeauty #gifted
  • There is something about sleek black packaging that I find so satisfying a) it doesn't look dirty quickly b) It's highly photogenic and c) it always looks fancier despite the brand. ⠀ ⠀ What kind of packaging do you gravitate to?⠀ ⠀ @maccosmetics⠀ @maccosmeticsaustralia⠀ @nyxcosmetics_australia⠀ @chichicosmeticsofficial⠀ @rawwcosmetics⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #style #bbloggerau #instabeauty #makeup #instabeautyau #bblogger #igbeauty #beautyguru #instagood #ausbeauty #flatlay #makeupflatlay #makeupcollection #makeupartist #meccabeautyjunkie #bloggersunitedau #beautybloggersau #sigmapro #urbandecaycosmetics #makeupgeek #makeupgeekcosmetics #biscuitsnmakeup #kickasscreatives #sigmabeauty #gifted #nyxcosmetics #maccosmetics⠀
  • After having a few makeup-free days it feels good to paint my face. Here are some of the bits a whipped out, plus a zillion other products. Some days I manage to do a full face with a minimal amount of products, other days I throw everything on my face including the kitchen sink.⠀ ⠀ So tell me ... How many products do you use in your typical makeup routine?⠀ ⠀ ^ Partly gifted⠀ ⠀ @tartecosmetics⠀ @covergirl⠀ @covergirlau⠀ @nyxcosmetics_australia⠀ @yslbeauty⠀ @elfcosmeticsau⠀ @nutrimetics_aus_nz⠀ @toofaced⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #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
  • I don't know what it is about blushes in luxe/pretty packaging that puts a smile on my face. They are pretty easy on the eyes (sometimes to the point where it hurts to use them because they are so freaking gorgeous!)⠀ ⠀ So which are you? Team fancy blushes or good ol' affordable?⠀ ⠀ @toofaced⠀ @ciatelondon⠀ @hourglasscosmetics⠀ @meccacosmetica⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #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 #toofaced #hourglasscosmetics #meccabeautyjunkie⠀
  • So I kind of have a thing for @tartecosmetics - I blame their pretty & photogenic packaging. It also doesn't help that I'm a palette hoarder. I am yet to try a tarte product I don't like, everything is so good and their eye shadow formula is friggin awesome!⠀ ⠀ Are you a fan of Tarte?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #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 #urbandecaycosmetics #meccabeautyjunkie #tartecosmetics⠀
  • So I did a thing ... a little @meccacosmetica collective order. A collective haul featuring 3 stunning eyeshadow palettes (Because this palette hoarder clearly needed MORE eyeshadow palettes!) I'm so happy to finally have my mitts on the Too faced Gingerbread palette now BRB time to color my eyeballs with these pretty shadows!⠀ ⠀ What makeup have you recently purchased?⠀ ⠀ @toofaced⠀ @urbandecaycosmetics⠀ @meccamaxima⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #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 #urbandecaycosmetics #meccabeautyjunkie #toofaced #urbandecay #meccabeautyjunkie⠀
  • SWATCH SUNDAY - Round 7⠀ ⠀ Let's talk about some Morphe (I know a semi-controversial brand!) I'm still long over due for making a massive order from them - Which I intend to do soon. This is the 35 Taupe palette, one of their big ass palettes but the shades are so gorgeous and so different from what I usually go for but still awesome. I wanted to slightly stray from my comfort zone because why not. I've created quite a lot of great eye looks I've loved from this palette! ⠀ ⠀ SWIPE to see the swatches!⠀ ⠀ #themakeupaficionadoswatches⠀ ⠀ Have you tried any Morphe palettes?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #makeupmess #eyeshadowpalettes #colourpopcosmetics #affordablemakeup #crueltyfree #colourpopcult #associationofbeauty #eyeshadows #makeupjunkie #makeuphoard #eyeshadowswatches #eyeshadowtutorial #eyeshadows #eyeshadowlooks #makeupporn #discoverunder10k #beautygram #beautyproducts #beautycommunity #makeupaddict #bloglovin #beautyinfluencer #beautytalk #instabeautyau #bloggerlife #beautyjunkie #makeupobsession #swatches #morphebrushes⠀
  • WARM TONES 4 LYFE!⠀ ⠀ I feel like I should probably get that tattooed across my forward. I'm not really fussed about Makeup 'trends' or what's in at the moment. Despite warm tones being currently 'In' I'll never get sick of them, maybe down the road I'll slightly branch out, who knows but warm tones will always be Number one to me. That's also an excuse to buy every warm toned palette I see, I even finally picked up Naked heat! (I was late on that band wagon!)⠀ ⠀ Are you obsessed with warm tones?⠀ ⠀ @hudabeauty⠀ @shophudabeauty⠀ @tartecosmetics⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #makeuponfleek #makeuptips #makeuponpoint #ausbeautybabes #bloggerau #makeuphaul #slave2makeup #makeupflatlay #makeupmess #makeupcollection #bossbabe #beautyjunkie #beautycommunity #makeuphoarder #makeupobsession #sephoraaus #beautytalk #eyeshadowpalettes #hudabeauty #shophudabeauty #associationofbeauty #beautygram #beautyinfluencer #makeupblog #bloggerlife #makeup #makeupoftheday #urbandecaycosmetics #meccabeautyjunkie #tartecosmetics
  • I had been eyeing the blushes and bronzers from @benefitaustralia for quite a while but wasn't willing to shuffle $50 a pop per product. Also despite the pretty packaging, it's on the bulky side and this makeup hoarder likes to maximize her makeup storage where she can. Now I did not know this palette was a yearly thing, being relaunched (and mixed up) every year. You get 5 full sized products (valued at $250 for only $99. And everything really is full sized, I even checked the product amount to see if we were being tricked, Everything is 100% full sized just in the one palette and for a bargain price. This has got to be the best high-end bargain snatch of 2018!⠀ ⠀ What have you tried from @benefitcosmetics ?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #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 #urbandecaycosmetics #meccabeautyjunkie #gifted⠀
