Organic Makeup from World Organics



Hello Lovelies,

Long long long time no see ! Some of you may be wondering where I have been hiding or what I've been up to, given that I have been away from blogging and YouTube for quite a while now. No need to worry though, a post will be going up very soon explaining where I have been. The reason why I am here today is to introduce you guys to an incredible brand, World Organics.




L-R: Purely Primer, Cream Concealer, Luminizer

World Organics have added 3 brand new products to its range, including organic primers - certified vegan, organic luminizers and organic concealers.

The Cream Luminizer in "Lunar" creates a gorgeous natural glow across the high points of the face, but can also be built up for more of a sheen across the skin. I particularly love blending this product along my collarbones, when I'm wearing an off the shoulder top.

For those of you that suffer from redness, discolouration, or just prefer a high coverage base, their Cream Concealer is perfect for those areas that need a little more coverage. It's thick yet creamy texture, means it blends flawlessly across the skin, without looking cakey, or like you've applied it too generously.

When it comes to primers, I can be quite picky. I want something that hydrates my skin, doesn't react strangely with my foundation and gives a smooth texture to my skin. I can safely say that the Purely Primer in "Lunar" does all those things. It also has a really yummy orange scent when first applied to the skin, which slowly disappears as it's rubbed into the skin.

My Current Concealer Recommendations



Hello Lovelies,

I hope you're all doing well ! For this weeks post I have teamed up with Into The Gloss, to bring you my current concealer recommendations. I've included my top 5 with a mixture of high end to more affordable concealers, as well as what uses each one has for me.

Rimmel Match Perfection: Concealing the under eye / Highlighting the face
Nars Creamy Concealer: Concealing the under eye
Revlon Colorstay Blemish Concealer: Concealing blemishes / Treats blemishes at the same time
Urban Decay Naked Skin: Concealing blemishes / Covering discolouration
*FAVOURITE* Maybelline Instant Age Rewind: Concealing the under eye / Highlighting the face

My all time favourite two ways of applying concealer is either with my finger or with a beauty blender sponge. If I'm using a concealer to cover any kind of blemish, I like to use my finger - clean, of course - as it helps warm up the product and melt it into the skin. When it comes to highlighting the face or concealing under the eyes, I love to use a damp beauty blender. With the moisture in the sponge and using it in a dabbing motion, it gives the concealer an almost airbrushed look and prevents it from looking cakey and too heavy.

Personally I always stick to more yellow or slightly peachy undertones for my concealer, as I find they work best on my complexion and the look I'm trying to achieve. If you suffer from excessive redness or your current concealer doesn't completely conceal your blemishes, using a green colour corrector beforehand helps counteract the redness in the skin. If you'd like me to do a whole separate post on colour correcting, just let me know ! 

For more tips and tricks when it comes to concealers, head on over to Into The Gloss's "The Best Concealers"

I hope you all have enjoyed this weeks post and have been able to learn a couple of things to incorporate into your make-up routine !

Have an incredible week and I'll see you next time !

Rimmel The Only 1 Collection Swatches


Hello Lovelies,
I hope you are all having a fabulous start to the week, I'm back today with a review and swatches of the new Rimmel The Only 1 Collection. I know I've said it before, but I just what to remind you all that these posts are not sponsored, I am just extremely lucky enough  to sometimes be sent new products to try out and I want to let you all know about them ! I received 5 out of the 12 shades from the range and honestly have to say, I would wear every single one !


The 5 shades that I currently own are:
120
200
510
600
700

Like I said above, I would happily wear every single shade I have. Due to the collection featuring 12 shades, there is definitely a colour for everyone ! The great thing about these lipsticks is that they can be built up to more of an opaque coverage but they can also be worn more sheer for just a tint on the lips.


The lipsticks go on as a very creamy texture, but eventually dry to a semi-matte finish. They are extremely comfortable on the lips and don't leave them feeling dry and chapped like some more matte lipsticks often do. The formula is super long lasting and doesn't require constant touch ups. They feature the same sweet Rimmel lipstick scent that previous collections have, though it's not overpowering. The lipsticks retail for $15.95 here in Australia and can be found at Priceline, Priceline Pharmacy, Chemist Warehouse, Target, K-Mart, Big W, selected pharmacies and selected Coles and Woolworths.

L-R: 120, 200, 510, 600, 700




I hope you all enjoyed my review and swatches of the new Rimmel The Only 1 Collection, if you have tried any of the range, I'd love to hear your thoughts on them !

Have a lovely rest of the week and I will speak to you very soon !

Stay Lean Tea 14 Day Detox Program Review


Hello Lovelies,

I hope you've all been well and are enjoying the new year so far, today I'm here with a review on a recent "teatox" I did. Now before you say anything, I know, I know, everyone and their mother have seen these promoted on Instagram - myself included ! So when I was first contacted by Stay Lean Tea, I was a little apprehensive to say yes at first.


Being the person I am, I immediately jumped onto their website to see why they thought their tea was so beneficial. I had constantly heard of other well known tea detoxes giving people horrendous stomach cramps, not to mention the even worse side effects people experienced - yes, I am speaking about the toilet kind ! I was surprised to see on the Stay Lean Tea website, that their teas don't contain any laxatives.

The 14 Day Detox comes with the "Lean Burner Blend" and the "Lean Cleanse Blend". The Lean Burner is to be consumed every morning, where as the Lean Cleanse Blend you drink every second afternoon. The teas contain different ingredients, to target the body in specific ways, but both teas contain "Longjing Green Leaf" which is packed full of antioxidants and amino acids, to help stimulate fat loss and detoxify the body. There is heaps of information on the Stay Lean website about the ingredients and benefits of their programs, as well as a FAQ section to find out more. Both teas have a very pleasant herbal tea taste, the only difference is the Cleanse Blend, has a slightly more fruity taste to it.


Anyone that knows me in real life, knows that I HATE speaking about toilet habits. I don't want you to know about mine, just as much as I don't want to know about yours. I did realise that doing something like this, I would have to speak about it somewhat and I'm glad to say, I had no negative side effects.... not one ! I have tried various cleanses in the past, which have given me HORRENDOUS stomach pains and having to run for dear life to the bathroom, but thankfully, I had none of that with the Stay Lean Tea. In terms of positive side effects, I definitely noticed that I felt a lot less sluggish. I suffer with incredibly low iron and constantly feel tired, though the tea didn't completely stop that, it definitely made me feel less lethargic. I also noticed that I felt and appeared a lot less bloated around my stomach area, particularly that lower belly area, below my belly button which is my problem area.

Stay Lean Tea deliver internationally and all postage  - yes, ALL - is free ! The tea is also gluten free, for those of you who have an intolerance or just don't consume it.


The lovely people over at Stay Lean Tea gave me a coupon code for all my lovely readers, so if you're interested in trying out any of the products, simply use the code: botrc3 at the checkout to receive 10% off your entire order. Just a heads up, I don't make any money from you guys using this code, it's just to make your order a little bit cheaper !

For more information, check out the Stay Lean Tea website

If any of you have ever tried a tea detox, I'd love to hear your experience with it - good or bad :)

I hope you all have a fabulous week and I will speak to you all soon !
