Perfume Collection

Hello Guys!

Welcome to my blog, and my first post for the month of November! This morning, I a going to be talking about my perfume collection. This is not a full collection, but a few of my favourites, because I have plenty of smaller sample perfumes as well as body mist and a few other perfumes I am currently not using. (I hope my explanations of the scents are not too bad, ahah)

 
 
I will be listing all the perfumes in somewhat of an order from the top left, which is the white bottle with gold lid:
- Taylor Swift Incredible Things ~ light, florally scent
- Taylor Swift Enchanted Wonderstruck ~ heavy flower scent
- Beyoncé Orange Heat ~ fresh scent
- You & I One Direction - Very girly, floral scent.
-The Body Shop Fijian Water Lotus ~ fresh and light water lotus scent.
- Lady Gaga Fame (Knock Off) ~Dark smell.
- Beyoncé Red Heat ~ Dark smell similar to fame but more florally.
- Beyoncé Purple Heat ~ Flower scent and girly like You & I but more heavy and strong.
- Katy Perry Killer Queen ~ Strong, different smell that I can not explain.
- Taylor Swift Wonderstruck ~ Very similar to the other Wonderstruck perfume but a little more lighter.
 
So they are just a few of my fav perfumes at the moment. They are all wonderful perfumes and I definitely recommend them all!

DIY Jewellery Hanger

Heyyyy Guyss

Today, I have decided to create another fabulous DIY, inspired by Urban Outfitters. It is the iconic twig jewellery hanger, that cost under $10! Now, I checked there website and there version of this is $30 which is extremely expensive for something that is made out of 3-4 items. Of course, I made sure this was extremely customizable for you guys, because you can spray paint the twig whatever colour you want, and use whatever type of string and hooks. This is honestly the perfect personalised gift for that fashionista girlfriend of yours! Lets get started!

Materials:
- Twig (I found this from the park down the road from my house)
- Hooks
- String or thick yarn
- Spray paint (I used gold but you can use whatever colour)

1. Find your twig and cut it to the right size, and make sure the edges are neat and not frayed, and it is also a thick enough size to hold your necklaces and screw in hooks.
2. Spray paint your twig whatever colour you would like and set it to dry.
3. Screw in your hooks evenly spaced apart. I did five but depending on the space and how long your twig is that can be customized.
4. Tie and wrap around the sting or wool a bunch of times and then make the length and then wrap it around on the other side.
5. Hang it on your wall with a command strip or hook.


And there you have it, your own Urban Outfitter inspired jewellery hanger for under $10. I think this looks so cool in my room, and adds colour and also displays all of my necklaces. If you made one of these yourself, I would love it if you tagged me in your recreation on twitter at blog_beautybits. Also, thankyou so much for 300 page views, it just felt like yesterday we hit 200!

Elf Brightening Eye Colour Quad Review

Hey Guys,

This evenings post is a review on Elf's Brightening Eye Colour Quads, which I own three of. I will be mentioning them all individually and each colour from left to right, and reviewing the packaging, price etc, at the end. If you haven't all ready, you should go follow my twitter, blog_beautybits and this blog. If you have any makeup suggestions that you think I should review next time, let me know in the comments and I will be happy to make it happen!

The first palate is called Brownstone, number 2012. It has a light cream colour that is matte, a medium chocolate brown that is also matte, a darker brown with a hint of shimmer and a deep black brown with some more shimmer. These colours are not all totally pigmented, but with the potential to be builded up and create a high quality finish. These colours are a perfect match together, to make a everyday look that can be easily transformed into a evening look with the darkest colours.


The second palate is called Nouveau Neutrals, number 2004 which is the most colourful quad out of them all. The colours include a light shimmery mermaid green, a dark shimmery green, a light pinkie colour and a orange/brown shimmery colour. These colours are again, not highly pigmented but are very buildable, but I would only ever use the last two colours as they are more natural compared to the greens that I usually stick away from.

 
The final palate I own is called Butternut, number 2001. All the colours in this quad are shimmery and the colours are a similar light brown to Brownstone, a darker pinkie colour to the Nouveau Neutrals quad, but is still light, a richer chocolate brown then the first palate and a basic brown. As every other quad, the colours need to be builded to create a high quality finish, but the potential is there.
 
Now, onto general information about the quads. The price of these on the Australian Elf website is $1.50, but you can get them at Kmart for a little bit more at $3, which is still very affordable. The package include a double ended sponge brush which is useless to me, and a mini mirror that is also useless under the brush. They are quite small which is easy for traveling and the packaging is not a bother to me. Overall, you get what you paid for but I defiantly think that Brownstone is the best out of them all.

I hope you guys enjoyed my first review on my blog. I really worked hard to bring you guys the right information to make the correct decision on wether or not to buy them. I have actually heard Tanya Burr talk about The Nouveau Neutrals quad and say it was quite comparable to a Mac eye shadow in her $20 makeup challenge a while back, so if that's not convincing I don't know what is!

Bye Guys x

Benefits of Drinking Water

Hey Guys,

Today I decided to make a blog post about the benefits of drinking water. There are so many good reasons why you should be using water as your replacement for a soft drink of hot beverage (First of all soft drink cost money,  water is FREE). All these reasons and more are going to be in short, easy to read list, as many sites put the information in long paragraphs, which can be hard to find what you need. If you found this helpful, I would really love it if you suggested it to a friend, or shared on your favourite social media!

Water can...
- Keep your skin clear,
- Help dissolve fats and soluble fibre,
- Prevent headaches,
- Flush, out toxins
- Put you in a good mood,
And also by drinking a glass of water at night, it helps you go to sleep, and on when you wake up helps you wake up

And in case you are wondering how much water you should be drinking, I have that information too:
- Men: 13 cups
- Women: 9 cups

So, that's is all you need to know about water and the change it can make in your lifestyle. If you have any other good reasons, please leave your suggestion below for everyone else, and, what beverage will you be substituting water with in your next meal.

Bye! xx
