This week has been another hectic week (which one isn’t?) I hope you all had an amazing Halloween! Sadly Halloween isn’t really a big deal in AUS (I would love to experience Halloween in the US!) did you dress up and wear really awesome makeup? I know I went a little crazy on purchasing Halloween makeup (false lashes, lipsticks, eyeliners, etc. You name it!) but haven’t really got around to playing with it! The Illamasqua “Bat” False Lashes have been tempting me for ages so as soon as they are discounted I can guarantee you I’ll be purchasing a pair (or two)

This week I’m loving…
*Beyonce Heat Mrs Carter Eau De Parfum. Queen B is currently down under in OZ for her Mrs Carter world tour and whilst I won’t been attending any of her shows I have had the pleasure of trying this perfume. If you love the thought of Summer in a bottle of perfume there is no doubt in my mind that you will love this perfume. It has a very clean, tropical scent but still smells just girly and feminine. The top notes include Mangosteen and Organic Acai, other notes include: Brassia Edua Loo Orchid, Violet Petals, Indian Sambac Jasmine, Madagascar Vanilla, rich Australian Sandalwood and Organic Indonesian Vetiver. Last but not least the bottle is divine and looks amazing sitting on a vanity.
This week I’m not loving…
Carols Daughter Monoi Shampoo & Conditioner. I received samples of this from Sephora and being a fan of Carols Daughter products (I LOVE the hair milk!) I was excited to try this. Most Carols Daughter products I have tried smell amazing, this one does not. The scent of this product was far too overpowering and just wasn’t pleasant, so unpleasant that after washing my hair and hopping out the shower I went back in and redone my hair with a different shampoo, just because I couldn’t handle the smell. In terms of results - it didn’t deliver amazing results but they weren’t terrible either, I found the shampoo to be quite drying on my hair and the conditioner only slightly counteracted that. For the price you can definitely find a better shampoo & conditioner.
