Lashes, lashes, lashes

I am pretty sure most of you know my love affair with false eyelashes, so you can imagine my excitement when the lovely ladies over at Manicare gave us the chance to try some Glam Lashes out.

The set also comes complete with a false eye lash glue and instructions on how to apply your new lashes. I had an event to go to on the weekend and thought what a great opportunity to try them out, they were absolutely fantastic, stayed put all day and did not make my eyes feel heavy or unnatural, while still giving my lashes a more fuller effect.

$11.00.  Available from Priceline

The ultimate overnight breakfast parfait

We are always looking for good breakfast ideas we can grab on the way out the door for a 5am start. Healthy and easy to transport! Looks delicious too!!!

Something a little fun and maybe scary..

Oh my gosh…it’s been a while!

So much has happened, babies, jobs, houses lalalalal but enough of that and onto the good stuff.

MaKeUp, that is why we are here after all.

I am in love with skulls and anything Dawn of The Dead inspired which made me super happy to be asked to do this awesome makeup the other day.

The brief was scary, red and Dawn of the Dead…Yesss. Here is the end result.

A Pregnancy Shoot

This was the first time I had done makeup and hair for a pregnancy shoot!

This lovely lady was about 6 months pregnant at the time and was glowing! It was just simple makeup and curled hair.

She already has a beautiful little lady, who also received a bit of pampering.

My Best Friends Wedding

If you are a regular Makeup Case reader you will know that one half, Bec, was engaged to be married. Well, the day has come! Miss Rebecca became Mrs Rebecca on the 8th of November 2013. It was truly a beautiful event with a small group of their close family.

This small event then grew to something massive and took over the entire weekend. She celebrated her nuptials with all their friends, and family, on Sunday. It was a casual affair and little bit carnival. I was the Maid of Honour. (Not sure when it’s maid or matron, please let me know the difference and if I’m right or wrong!)

Here are a few photos from the wedding. Mostly Sunday but maybe a cheeky one from Friday too.

Philips VisaPure Cleansing Brush Review and Giveaway

I love my skin looking good so I was really excited to try the Philips VisaPure.

I was impressed from the moment I opened the box. It is a really streamlined design, and easy to hold, it is also waterproof. So I can use it in the shower in the morning, which saves me time.

You can use it with your favourite cleanser and it vibrates and rotates so it removes makeup and dirt and clears away dead skin cells. The movement gives a massaging effect that improves circulation to bring out your skins natural radiance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I get acne and pimples along my jawline. I hate it! I have been told to exfoliate to help clear it up, trouble is, exfoliating can make the rest of my face dry and sensitive. So I don’t do it as often as I should. The VisaPure sure did the trick. After a few days of using it, my skin was clearing up nicely. Thank you very much. While your cleansing, the brush pauses for a second, this means that you need to move to the next section. Pretty cool huh?!

“An added benefit of Philips’ VisaPure technology is that it prepares the skin for other skincare products and treatments women may use, enhancing absorption of the beneficial ingredients,” says Tom Paltridge of Philips

It’s true, my moisturiser seems to sink in better, leaving my skin feeling more hydrated all day.
