New Release: Lunar Luck Collection (MAC Cosmetics)

MAC Cosmetics Lunar Luck Collection - Chinese New Year 2022 Limited Edition

I have to say – MAC Cosmetics is always killing it when it comes to limited edition releases. Since I always love their formulas to begin with, I always get so excited when something new drops: whether it’s because of the pretty packaging or exclusive shades. This year’s Lunar New Year collection didn’t disappoint at all! The Lunar Luck Collection featured a range of lip, cheek and eye products in new shades and incredible, Year of the Tiger inspired packaging.

Although it’s a bit late now, I wanted to show the pieces that I got from this collection. Most of these are still available on the MAC Cosmetics website but only while stocks last, so jump on quick if you still want to pick them up!

Feature: All-Time Favourite Western Make Up Products to Rebuild Your Collection

All-Time Favourite Make Up Products to Rebuild Your Collection

Please note that referral and/or affiliate links are used in this post.

We’ve all thought about it: what if our entire make up collection just disappeared one day? I actually think it’s useful to consider this (hopefully) hypothetical situation as it helps to hone in on the best of the best. This is a list of my favourite Western Make Up products in every category – things that I would repurchase in a heartbeat. Hopefully, this is useful for people looking to simplify their routine, declutter their life or even make up beginners who don’t have where to start.

Let me know what you think in the comments and if you end up checking any of these out! I may also put together some skincare and k-beauty lists in the future.

Feature: Charlotte Tilbury hits Aussie Shores (and we love it)

26/09/2021 No Comments

Charlotte Tilbury Beauty has been one of the most in-demand brands for years. Founded by British make up artist Charlotte Tilbury, they are known for their easy-to-use, gorgeous make up products and scientifically backed skincare – all developed around Tilbury’s beauty secrets and 28 years of experience working in fashion, editorial, runway and the red carpet.

And now, they have finally hit Australian shores, exclusively through MECCA! Rather than having to guess foundation matches or watching a hundred review videos to figure out if a product will work for us, people are now able to try things in store or get a shade match from MECCA’s artistry team.

There’s been some fun in-store promotions as well as huge range now available on their website. For those who (like me) have never tried Charlotte Tilbury before and are unsure of where to start, read on for five of their best sellers!

Shopping Guide: Eyeshadow Palette Recommendations

To be frank, eyeshadow palettes are my personal weakness. I buy so many of them that I’ve become somewhat of a collector but that isn’t practical for the every day makeup user. The fact is that we have so many options now that I can be very difficult to navigate, so today I’ll be recommending some of the best eyeshadow palettes – in my humble opinion anyway.

I will be recommending palettes based on quality, versatility and ease of use – so read on!
