<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />A few weeks ago, one of my favourite stores ever had one of their amazing gift with purchase deals that I just can't resist. The <b>Priceline Your Skincare Gift Bag</b> was available for a very limited time only. I feel like I saw next to no advertisement on this one, but I managed to snag one anyway! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/32934826567/in/photostream/" title="PricelineBag002"><img alt="PricelineBag002" height="426" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/32934826567_55587a5cf9_o.jpg" title="Priceline Skincare Gift Bag 2019" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So, what's the catch? Spend $69 or over on skincare from the brands partaking and qualify for this bag full of goodies! The best part is, all the brands included in the bag are generally on sale too, so you can grab a bargain and a bunch of new stuff for free.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/47089548214/in/photostream/" title="PricelineBag003"><img alt="PricelineBag003" height="426" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47089548214_df26008df3_o.jpg" title="Priceline Skincare Gift Bag 2019" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This was everything included in the bag. To be honest, it's not as many items as I have seen in previous bags (remember, I've been doing this a long time folks) but it does have quality items which makes it feel well-worth the buy.<br /><br />The items included were as follows:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Simple</b> Spotless Skin Quick Fix Cleansing Wipes<br /><b>Moogoo</b> Natural Full Cream Moisturiser<br /><b>Neutrogena</b> Sheer Zinc Baby Dry Touch Sunscreen Lotion<br /><b>Sukin </b>Foaming Facial Cleanser<br /><b>Olay</b> Luminous Whip Active Moisturiser<br /><b>The Base Collective</b> Magnesium Bath Salts<br /><b>7th Heaven</b> Charcoal and Black Sugar Peel Off Mask<br /><b>Garnier</b> Skin Active Volcano Mask<br /><b>Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula</b> Coconut Charcoal Detoxifying Sheet Mask<br /><b>Skin Physics </b>Dragons Blood Soothing Gel Mask<br /><b>Neutrogena </b>Youthful Boost 100% Hydrogel Mask<br /><br />Samples:<br />x2 <b>Katia New Zealand Deer Milk</b> samples; Brightening Eye Cream & Hydrating Day Cream<br /><b>La Roche Posay </b>Mascara<br /><b>Dr Lewinn's</b> Ultra R4 Restorative Day Cream</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />There were also two coupons inside, but sadly I think they are now expired so, oh well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">I purchased a fair few face masks in order to quality for the bag. I have been eyeing off the entire range of <b>Dr Lewinn's </b>new eye and face masks since they were released, so I took this chance to grab them on sale. I picked up every variety available (at least in my local store) so I can't wait to try each of them and let you know what I think.<br /><br />I also grabbed two of the new <b>Simple</b> masks; and two of the <b>Garnier</b> Skin Active Pure Charcoal masks. Old faithful, <b>Garnier</b> Pure Active 3 in 1 Charcoal Anti-Blackhead Wash, Scrub, Mask also made it into my basket; along with a <b>Garnier</b> Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil. As a treat to myself (as if the rest weren't treat enough) I also indulged in the new <b>The Base Collective</b> Magnesium and Lavender Beauty Sleep Wash. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">-- </span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Overall, I'm pleased with the bag. I can honestly never complain about a free gift, specifically one such as generous as this. Keep doing what you're doing Priceline, and I'll keep dropping the dollars in your store. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;"><br />As always, if you would like and reviews or feedback about any of the products I have received, drop me a comment below. I might also do some Instagram stories when sharing my thoughts about the masks in particular, so make sure you tune in!

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Welcome back to my blog... it's been a while. Sorry about that. If you're a regular reader, then you'll know I tried a relaunch in February but thanks to life getting in the way, I didn't stick with it. But I am back; hopefully, this time to stay. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Lately, I've been trying out a new range called <b>Andalou Naturals</b>. They are available in Priceline and have a relatively large selection of products. I chose the <b>1000 Roses</b> range - for no specific reason, just that I like roses and the range mentioned it worked well with sensitive skin. As I've been using it non-stop for the past three months, I thought I would share an in-depth review.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/42658247525/in/dateposted-public/" title="Andalou_Naturals_1000Roses_002"><img alt="Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Range - Full Review - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/857/42658247525_8dee2e565f_o.jpg" title="Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Range - Full Review - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a><br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"> purchased a total of seven products from the range. There is only one other product; which is a single-use sheet mask, that I have not actually tried as yet. (This is due to having so any sheet masks to try out!)<br /><br />I started out with the mask and the exfoliator and gradually added more products to my routine as my skin sometimes goes into shock if I replace all of my products at once.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/42845778754/in/dateposted-public/" title="Andalou_Naturals_1000Roses_003"><img alt="Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Range - Full Review - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/852/42845778754_c48360176f_o.jpg" title="Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Range - Full Review - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My skin instantly fell in love with the <b>Heavenly Night Cream</b>. It's rich enough for my skin to feel moisturised, but not too heavy to cause breakouts in my combination skin. I find when I use this every evening, I wake up with clear and plump feeling skin. It's absolutely one of my favourite products from the bunch.<br /><br />I found I needed to adjust to the <b>Beautiful Day Cream</b>. My skin broke out very lightly when I first started using it, so I didn't use it every single day, to begin with. I've now transitioned my skin to use this on a daily basis. In the beginning, the cream was a little too moisturising for me so the oily parts of my skin decided it was too much. Now that I've adjusted, this is the perfect level of moisture and creates a lovely base for my daily makeup.<br /><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/41755284290/in/dateposted-public/" title="Andalou_Naturals_1000Roses_004"><img alt="Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Range - Full Review - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1805/41755284290_d4dc18ab28_o.jpg" title="Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Range - Full Review - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The <b>Cleansing Foam</b> was an instant favourite of mine. I found that without any follow up skincare, my skin did feel a little dry after using it, but nothing to write home about. The foaming function of this made the cleanser easy to use outside of the shower. (Usually, I hate using cleanser unless in the shower due to the mess.) Because it was so easy to use and smelt so lovely, it was definitely easier to convince myself to wash my face in the evening with this cleanser.<br /><br />I do like the <b>Floral Toner</b>, but I do feel that they have given us way too much product. I've been using this now for three months and it doesn't look like I've touched it. In saying that - I'm not complaining. The toner is pretty standard, nothing special in particular but it's a lovely addition to the range.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Another immediate favourite was the <b>Absolute Serum</b>. I have a love-hate relationship with serums as I find my skin can be very fussy. This was the last piece of the range that I purchased, and I am so sad I didn't try it earlier. My skin loved it straight away. It found it kept my skin feeling fresh and bouncy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/28675938517/in/dateposted-public/" title="Andalou_Naturals_1000Roses_005"><img alt="Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Range - Full Review - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/938/28675938517_747d41516c_o.jpg" title="Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Range - Full Review - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a><br /><br />The <b>Rosewater Mask </b>was the first item I picked up. I have a love affair with masks, particularly masks in pots like this, so I knew I needed to try it. I use this mask roughly once a fortnight, sometimes weekly. I find that it's very moisturising and doesn't make my skin feel too dry or stretched out as some clay masks do. This leaves my skin feeling very clean and soft, but also nourished.<br /><br /><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/43564010991/in/dateposted-public/" title="Andalou_Naturals_1000Roses_006"><img alt="Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Range - Full Review - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1761/43564010991_ef796863df_o.jpg" title="Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Range - Full Review - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My absolute favourite of the bunch; a must have for me - the <b>Pearl Exfoliator</b>. It was very tempting to use this every time I cleansed my face, but I cut down and started to use it between two-three times a week. I try to keep it for when I've had to wear heavier than usual makeup as it helps to really get in there and clean my skin. I usually love a really scrubby exfoliator but this is very soft and gentle on the skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">--</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Overall, I'm incredibly happy with the<b> Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses</b> range. I started using the products in early May and had transitioned completely by the end of May using all seven products.<br /><br />A few things to note; yes - this is a rose range so it does smell like roses. I feel like the rose scent is strong enough to smell, yet it is subtle enough to not be overwhelming for me. If you don't enjoy the regular rose smell, I would recommend sniffing it before buying just in case. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I think this range is great for sensitive skin. I only had a little bit of breakout and only when I started the day cream. (I'm a bad blogger and don't always use day cream so it was more likely my skin having a tantrum because I hadn't nourished it enough beforehand.) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This range is available from <a href="https://www.priceline.com.au/brand/andalou-naturals" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Priceline</a> now, ranging from $19.95 - $29.99. You can also buy packs of smaller size products to try out. Have you tried <b>Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses </b>range? If so, what are your thoughts?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2017 is finally over. Well, it's been over for just over a month now. I've been working overtime trying to catch up with myself, so my blog has been on the backburner for a little while. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2017 was both one of the worst years of my life, and one of the best years of my life. To start with, my partner and I got engaged. We've been together for nine years, and we'd been talking about finally getting hitched anyway so it wasn't too much of a surprise. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, as the year went on, my partner's health deteriorated very quickly. My intuition saved his life in October as he suffered a major neurological event that could have led to his death, and if I hadn't discovered him just as I did, he would have absolutely lost his life. He spent a lot of time in hospital after that, luckily recovering in almost every way. He lost the use of his legs, but over time has regained them to almost full strength. For those of you who have been following me for some time, you'll know that he's struggled with his health for the past few years. This year, we discovered a life-changing diagnosis. Although he will now live with two chronic illnesses that are both incurable, he at least has the right medication and we are more prepared. </div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Due to this, we decided there was no time to wait. We applied to get married at the Treasury Building in Melbourne, and we finally tied the knot on December 16, 2017. I didn't want to have the cookie cutter wedding - I did things my own way. I had my closest friends and family by my side, and we went and had a delicious meal afterwards. That's all we needed. Married life is not really much different; aside from learning to call him my husband instead of my partner. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">---</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now that 2017 is over, my husband and I have been enjoying life. It feels as though we have something fun on every single weekend, and we always have something to look forward to. This means less time for me to work on my blog, but more time to live my life. I've decided now that things have calmed down and are moving in the right direction, it's time to start blogging again. I'll most likely stick to one post a week, to ensure I still have plenty of time to have fun and relax. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For those of you still reading, I thank you for sticking with me on my journey. I originally started Sweetaholic Beauty as a creative outlet for when I was suffering from depression. Life has changed so much since then, but my blog will always be here as a wonderful outlet to share my love of beauty. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Recently, I was offering the chance to try out some select products from the Elucent Skincare range. I have tried a few products from this brand before and had mixed feelings, so I thought I would give these babies another go.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The products I received were based on my own personal skincare concerns; pigmentation and uneven skin tone. I used these four products for the total month, so my skin has well and truly made up it's mind about each product.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I received the <b>Anti-Aging Gentle Cleanser</b>, the <b>Whitening Day Moisturiser</b>, the <b>Whitening Spot Treatment</b> and the <b>Whitening Night Moisturiser</b>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have tried the <b>Whitening Cleanser</b> before, which was not my favourite product, so I was a bit hesitant about the Whitening range altogether as I was worried my skin may not like it too much. In saying that, I was excited to try as the Whitening range helps with brightening and evening out skin tone. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Anti-Aging Gentle Cleanser</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This was definitely my favourite of the products. My skin absolutely loved it. Because it includes a combination of AHAs and vitamin B3 and E, the product gently exfoliates and revitalises. I felt as though my skin was smoother than usual, and I could skip my usual exfoliation steps without too much worry. I felt as though after using this, my skin felt clean but still supple. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Whitening Day Moisturiser</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have tried this one before but didn't try it long enough to see any results. This moisturiser also contains SPF 30 which is a very high SPF for a moisturiser - which I love. At first, my skin didn't exactly love it, but after a while, my skin started to work with it. My skin was feeling plump, hydrated and clear. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Whitening Spot Corrector</b><br /><br />I decided to use this one under my eyes, as I usually have dark circles. The corrector had a really nice consistency so it felt very luxe to apply. I didn't use it for the entire month, as I wanted my skin to get used to the other products first. I feel like prolonged use of this product would have better results, but so far I'm liking it. I feel like my eyes are brighter and my skin looks far less sallow. I will definitely be continuing with this product.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Whitening Night Moisturiser</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I think my skin didn't like this one much, unfortunately. I kept with it, but it felt too heavy on my skin so I had to use far less than I usually would. I felt as though I needed to cleanse again in the morning due to the heaviness of the product. My skin didn't break out when using it, at least, but it wasn't my favourite night cream. I think this would work so well for those with dry skin. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Overall, I loved almost all of the products. I will be continuing on with the cleanser, and the spot corrector. I may use the day cream on and off along with other products, but I'll be passing the night cream along to someone I believe would love it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />After using the products for a month, my skin is looking clearer and brighter. I would definitely love to try more from this range. Have you tried the Elucent range before? If so, what is your favourite?<br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Autumn has hit Melbourne again, so of course, it's the perfect time to start changing up your beauty routine. Mine usually starts with changing my fragrances. I love fruity and light scents, but sometimes when it comes to the colder weather, I like something a little heavier.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I thought I would show you three gorgeous fragrances I've started loving now that the weather has cooled down. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="false" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/34750974286/in/dateposted-public/" title="Autumn002"><img alt="My Current Autumn Fragrances - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4184/34750974286_bfb35b26a9_o.jpg" title="My Current Autumn Fragrances - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I usually rotate three fragrances at a time - a beautiful everyday scent, a night time scent and then an "I'm feeling a tad special today" scent. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="false" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/33948519274/in/dateposted-public/" title="Autumn003"><img alt="My Current Autumn Fragrances - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4192/33948519274_e7920792ed_o.jpg" title="My Current Autumn Fragrances - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My favourite day to day scent has been the <b>Zara Nude Bouquet</b>. I received this for my birthday this year but didn't really start loving it until recently. It's still a bit sweet, but it has base notes of sandalwood which gives it a bit of a twist. It's still a very light, fresh fragrance with top notes of bergamot and lotus. Oh, and the bottle is super cute, too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="false" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/34405222490/in/dateposted-public/" title="Autumn004"><img alt="My Current Autumn Fragrances - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4179/34405222490_91706d3bff_o.jpg" title="My Current Autumn Fragrances - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />The perfect evening fragrance is definitely <b>Beyonce's Heat</b>. With base notes of amber and sequoia it has a unique hint of woodiness, but with middle notes of musks, macarons, almonds and honeysuckle, we get a bit sweeter. Top notes round things off with neroli, orchid and peach for that little extra.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When I'm feeling like I want some little extra oomph, I always go for my <b>Katy Pary Killer Queen.</b> Not only is the bottle just so cute, the scent is something special. With base notes of patchouli and praline, mid notes of jasmine sambac and frangipani, and top notes of forest fruits, bergamot and plum - this fragrance is absolutely gorgeous and really makes me feel like a million dollars.<br /><br />-- </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I love switching up my fragrances and scents. I have so many of them as it is, so it's nice to mix things up sometimes.<br /><br />Do you change your fragrances with the seasons? Have you tried any of the above scents? If so, what are your thoughts?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We got a huge eight products this month, which is pretty exciting.<br /><br />I immediately recognised the <b>MooGoo Cow Lick Lip Balm</b> as I already have one and love it. I also recognised the packaging of the <b>Pukka Tea</b> - I got <i>Tumeric Gold</i> and <i>Detox</i>. I'll be keen to give these a go. There was also a super cool <b>Keeko Oil Charcoal Mouthwash</b> which reminds me of the charcoal toothpaste everyone raves around. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Two awesome skincare products; the <b>Raw Body Skincare Scrub</b> which is 100% organic, and the <b>Zuanna Cosmetics Smoothing Minerals Exfoliating Mask</b> which is a clay mask, which we all know I'll love. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I also got the <b>Amazing Oils Sports Recovery Wipes</b>, which is a magnesium wipe that helps with muscle cramps and spasms. I'll be really interested to see how this one works as I often do get cramps due to my back problems. In the box was also the <b>Organyc Feminine Hygiene</b>; which is obviously a feminine hygiene product. I luckily do not need these, but I will pass them on to a friend. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">The product I was most excited for though was the <b>Nuori Vital Foaming Cleanser</b>. Not only did we get a huge sized version of this (for a subscription box, at least) but it sounds awesome. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">--<br /><br />Overall, the <b>April Good Green Box</b> was jam packed full of goodies. It was exciting going through all the different samples and I can't wait to try out everything. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A little while ago, I was invited to a super cool launch party for the new products from <b>NYX Cosmetics</b> - the <b>Cosmic Metals Lip Creams</b>. Not only was the party out of this world, but we also received all seven shades available. (There was supposed to be another shade, but I'm unsure what happened with that.) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Anyone who knows me personally will know that I love anything space, galaxy, aliens etc. so this collection is right up my alley. I was excited to see so many unique shades hit Australian shores.<br /><br />I tested out each shade and I have to say I had a lot of fun. Some of the colours might be a bit out-there for everyday wear, but for fun occasions, they are just right.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I had only one issue with the <b>Cosmetic Metal Lip Creams</b> - and that was the applicator. Because of the bright shades, you need to be precise when applying, otherwise, things can get messy. The doe foot applicators were a little fluffy, which meant when I tried to apply a nice precise line on my lips, I got a lot of messy lines instead. This isn't a deal breaker because it's easy enough to just use a lip brush, but when out and about it can be a bit of a pain.</span><br />

You can thin it out for a more opaque look, but I prefer it thicker. It does eventually dry but still keeps a lot of the gloss, and doesn't go sticky at all.</span><br />

For more glam looks, I loved Galactic and Ultraviolet on me. Electromagnetic and Dark Nebula were still gorgeous, and my boyfriend has been trying to convince me to leave the house wearing one of them. Nice try, dude.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">--<br /><br />Overall, I'm a fan.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Back in my early days of blogging, I loved nothing more than trying out new things and never repurchasing the same product. As I've grown older, I've gotten into habits and I've found products that I simply love. I'm more reluctant to try new things when I've already found my perfect product. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">One thing that I have fallen in love with is charcoal masks. I can't get enough of them. Generally, when I'm doing a face mask, I'll gravitate towards charcoal masks. (Even if my skin concern might be helped by something else... oops.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">At the moment, I've been loving three charcoal masks. Now I'm not saying these are the definitive top three masks ever - but, they're pretty darn great.<br />
</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So my all time favourite mask, hands down, is the <b>Garnier SkinActive 3 In 1 Charcoal Anti-Blackhead Wash, Scrub, Mask</b>. Yep, the name says it all, right? I can say that without a doubt, this is the best mask I've ever used. I'm on my third tube of this stuff, and it's not hard to see why. My partner even uses this on a weekly basis, and I've gotten my sister on to it as well. Oh, and did I mention it's a scrub too, so you get the added benefit of exfoliation when you're removing it. If you haven't tried this already - run, don't walk.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The <b>Sukin Anti-Pollution Oil Balancing Facial Masque</b> is one of the newer ones to my collection.<b> Sukin </b>have an entire charcoal range which I've heard is amazing, but so far I've only tried this. I find this one to be very moisturising and kind to my skin. It is truly oil balancing in that it doesn't suck <i>all </i>the oil out of my skin, just rebalances it.<br /><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="false" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/34322545702/in/dateposted-public/" title="Charcoal-Masks005"><img alt="Favourite Drugstore Charcoal Masks - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4167/34322545702_8811c6beea_o.jpg" title="Favourite Drugstore Charcoal Masks - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The<b> L'Oreal Pure Clay Mask </b>is probably the truest clay mask that I have been using lately. Goes on smooth, dries hard and sucks out all the extra moisture from your skin. This is excellent if you're oily like me, but might be best to avoid if you suffer from dry skin. This definitely rejuvenates though and leaves you feeling fresh, just make sure you follow up with some amazing skincare.<br /><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This month there was only five products in my box, but only one of them was a sachet size product. Three products were full sized, which is great. Do you spy the awesome brand yet?</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />The first product that jumped out at me was the <b>Glamourflage Raunchy Rosie Grapefruit Hand Cream</b>. Not only is the design gorgeous but it also smells amazing. Straight in the handbag with that one! We also got a <b>Zuii Crayon Eyeliner</b> in Brown. I love brown eyeliner so I'm glad to get something aside from black. This eyeliner is also completely organic, which is fabulous.<br /><br />There was also a deluxe sample size of the <b>Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser</b>, which is a great cleanser. This is the perfect size to pop into my travel bag. We also got the sample size product of the<b> KMS Add Volume Liquid Dust.</b> Not sure what that's supposed to be, but it is a little phial with liquid in it. Hey, anything to help with volume; I'm willing to try!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Last but absolutely not least, the famous brand<b> ColourPop</b> was also included in this months box. How awesome is that? I was lucky enough to get the limited edition <b>ColourPop x Hello Kitty Ultra Glossy Lip</b> in <i>Trinkets</i>. This was one of the shades I luckily didn't already purchase. It's gorgeous and I can't wait to start wearing it.<br /><br />--<br /><br />Wow, what a fantastic box. Although there were technically fewer items, the quality of the items has absolutely increased which makes it worth it to me. I'm super excited to see <b>ColourPop </b>included in this month's box and hopefully, this will be a regular brand.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Last week, Priceline announced it's newest gift with purchase - the Your Cosmetic Gift Bag. This gift bag comes just in time for Mother's Day so if you're planning on buying your mum cosmetics, this deal might be something to take advantage of. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="false" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/34322354662/in/dateposted-public/" title="Priceline-GWP002"><img alt="Priceline Your Cosmetic Gift Bag - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4169/34322354662_de9d74a4fa_o.jpg" title="Priceline Your Cosmetic Gift Bag - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So here's the deal; spend a minimum of $60 on participating brands, and you get all of this! Completely free! I have to say, this is not as amazing as some of their major gift bags, but this is certainly a good little deal considering you're getting this as an extra.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />My three favourite products from the bag. I loved the <b>Rimmel London Scandaleyes Reloaded Mascara </b>and I'm so glad to now have a backup. I also picked the <b>NYX Cosmetics Turnt Up Lipstick</b> in a beautiful nude shade, I can see this being very easy to wear on a daily basis. Lastly, I chose the absolutely gorgeous <b>Australis Cosmetics High Life Illuminating Strobe Powder</b>. This is a stunning pink shade.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For the cosmetics, we got a few awesome goodies. Firstly, the <b>Nude by Nature Soft Focus Illuminator</b> is something that usually makes an appearance in the bags, however, this one has the sleek new packaging. We also got a<b> Models Prefer Lip Balm </b>which looks like it would be perfect for the handbag. For lip shades, we got three products - a <b>Maybelline Baby Lips</b> in <i>Shimmering Bronze</i> (which also can double as a blush) the <b>Revlon Balm Stain </b>in a gorgeous deep red, and a <b>Models Prefer Lip Lacquer</b> in a stunning deep pink shade. Lastly, there was also a<b> Savvy by DB Brow Pencil</b> in Black.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />We also got a few tools. The<b> Look Good Feel Better Angled Blending Brush</b>, which looks absolutely awesome. I have tried some stuff from them before and was impressed. We also got two emery boards, one from<b> Manicare </b>and one from <b>Revlon</b>. I will be passing these along to someone as I do have acrylic nails. Lastly, we received an <b>EcoTools Mini Sponge</b> - always handy to have.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="false" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/34482203825/in/dateposted-public/" title="Priceline-GWP006"><img alt="Priceline Your Cosmetic Gift Bag - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4191/34482203825_2ce90cf0b6_o.jpg" title="Priceline Your Cosmetic Gift Bag - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As for my haul to qualify for the bag, I got the <b>NYX Cosmetics Avant Pop </b><b class="">palette</b>, and a brown eyeliner from <b>NYX Cosmetics</b>. I also grabbed one of the new <b>Australis Velourlips </b>and one of the new <b>Australis Liquid Lips</b>. I'm excited to try these all out. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />-- </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Overall, I think this is a great little addition, especially if you are already spending money. My favourite products from the bag alone would have come close to $60 so it's definitely a bargain.<br /><br />Have you purchased the <b>Priceline Your Cosmetic Gift Bag</b> yet? If so, what did you think?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Another holiday, another <b>Lush Cosmetics</b> limited edition collection - and I'm loving it! Mother's Day is just around the corner, and their new collection is in store and online. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a few of this years gorgeous goodies, so of course I had to show it off for you all. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">The <b>Yummy Mummy Shower Cream</b> has made a return this year; it smells super sweet and is incredibly moisturising. The two new products I am super keen to try is the <b>Pink Custard Shower Jelly</b>; which is a super weird product but smells so relaxing and beautiful, and the<b> Honey Lip Scrub</b>; which is a perfect mix of honey and mint and is downright amazing. I may have to do a bit of a how-to with their new<b> Pink Custard </b>product to show you all how it works. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Limited edition bath products are honestly the best. My all time favourite from this collection has to be the <b>Mum (Pink) Bath Bomb</b>. It's specifically designed for mum, so there's no excuse to not get her one! It smells a bit like citrus mixed with sweet.<br /><br />I also got the <b>Ups-A-Daisy</b> bath bomb, which is huge so you might have to split it, and smells like flowers. I was so intrigued by the<b> Scrubee Body Butter </b>which is an actual bee, and has gentle exfoliation. It smells totally amazing, by the way. Last but not least, the <b>Baa Bar Bubble Bar</b>. This cute little sheep bubble bar is a nice, soft and relaxing bubble bar for relaxation. I can't wait to use this after a hard day at work. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This collection is amazing and smells so good. Honestly there's nothing I didn't like.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am actually a level two, which is awesome. I hope to get to level three soon but we shall see. I ended up getting the box on the first day it was available, so I was excited to pop into store and grab it.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This box included two sachet samples and two deluxe sample sized products. I was so delighted to see some fabulous brands included.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The first amazing sample product was the <b>NARS Velvet Lip Glide</b> in <i>Le Palace</i>. This is such a fabulous red shade. I have never tried any<b> NARS </b>lip products before so I'm pretty excited. There was also a <b>Smashbox Photo Finish Primer</b>; another deluxe sample. I'm so keen to try this one out as it's such a cult product. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For sachet samples, we got the <b>Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior 2 in 1 Plumping Moisturizer + Serum</b>. This one sounds fantastic, I really wan't wait to try it out. A pretty cool sample was also the<b> NuFace Prep-N-Glow.</b> I had no idea what this was, but it's actually like a makeup removing wipe, but has an exfoliating side to it. I'll be interested to see how this goes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">--<br /><br />I was pretty stoked with this box if I'm honest. I'm keen to try everything included in this box and I love the brands we got. This one really stands out as a great box to me. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I absolutely love receiving subscription boxes. There is nothing more exciting than getting a box of surprise goodies. I luckily received the recent <b>April Bellabox</b> and so I was pretty keen to get into it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This month's theme was <i>Beauty Tribe.</i></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As always, they've included a comprehensive product list along with an ingredients card. There are even pictures of the products, which is really helpful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="false" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/33371251044/in/dateposted-public/" title="ABB004"><img alt="April Bellabox - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2891/33371251044_9745470d96_o.jpg" title="April Bellabox - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />There were technically eight different products in this box; however, three of them were sachet sample products.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There were a few deluxe sample products in here that I have received before, but I can't remember trying them, to be honest. I received two samples from<b> Avene</b> - a <i>tolerance extreme cream</i> and a <i>tolerance extreme cleansing lotion</i>. There was also a deluxe sample size of the <b>Nutraplus Barrier Hand Cream</b>, which will be great for the cold weather. The sample size products were the<b> Neuma Neumoisture Shampoo, Conditioner and Intensive Masque. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My hero product from this month's box would definitely have to be the <b>John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Colour Deepening Treatment</b>. This is not only a fantastic size but it's also perfectly suited to my hair needs. I've used this once or twice and have so far loved it; I haven't noticed any huge difference to my colour but my hair is loving it nonetheless.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you're an avid user of<b> Instagram</b>, then you'll know that lately, there have been a few hiccups with the app. And when I say hiccups I mean major bloody catastrophes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Recently, I was shadowbanned. If you don't know what shadowbanning is, I suggest you Google it. There are a huge number of articles written about what it is, what causes it and how to try to avoid it. To put it simply - shadowbanning means my photographs don't show up under the hashtags I use for people who don't follow me. Meaning there is really no way for new followers to find me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>Shadowbanning sucks.</i> It means that smaller accounts like mine cannot grow or reach maximum exposure. For something like this to be essentially out of your control, it's a very frustrating experience.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/user/sweetaholic01/media/Instagram002_zpscbsijnvv.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><img alt="So... What's The Deal With Instagram? - Sweetaholic Beauty" border="0" src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p223/sweetaholic01/Instagram002_zpscbsijnvv.jpg" height="426" title="So... What's The Deal With Instagram? - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So what the hell can we do about it? Honestly, not much. I have since changed my Instagram account from a business profile (which was essential to find out my statistics) back to a personal profile; I have changed my hashtags but continue to be blocked on new hashtags that I use; I have tried no hashtags at all and I have tried everything I can think of. But this is not a post to complain about how my Instagram tactics are not working. This post is about sharing knowledge, sharing this issue and making everyone aware that Instagram is sadly treating their most important users - bloggers and small businesses - like crap. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My main issue with this shadowbanning situation is that<i> Instagram has acknowledged the issue, but has done nothing to resolve it</i>. I have made several complaints, but they have gone completely ignored. This is what we, as bloggers, need to fight against.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s129.photobucket.com/user/sweetaholic01/media/Instagram003_zpsyjl9belj.jpg.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><img alt="So... What's The Deal With Instagram? - Sweetaholic Beauty" border="0" src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p223/sweetaholic01/Instagram003_zpsyjl9belj.jpg" height="426" title="So...

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Everywhere you look, the world is talking about Instagram. How can an app that has made itself so important to daily life for some people treat their most valuable users like this?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">At the end of the day, I'm pretty upset with Instagram right now. Not only have I worked incredibly hard to reach the following that I have, I have also never used spam techniques or purchased fake followers. It's disheartening to see accounts that don't really work hard just skim through, buy followers and reach the big numbers when the rest of us are being shadowbanned. <b>Please, Instagram, fix yourself. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Some tips - comment on new accounts. Four words minimum is considered engagement, so please don't keep it short and sweet. Change up your hashtags. Make sure your account isn't linked to any third party apps; such as unfollower apps. Let me know if you have any other tips.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Have you been shadowbanned? Tell me about the issues you have been experiencing with Instagram? The more we talk about it, the quicker the fix. The more we fight for it, the more it'll work for us.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Two weeks ago, I attended the most out of this world party! The <b>NYX Cosmetics Cosmetic Party</b>. Launching a bunch of new awesome products, including their amazing <b>Cosmic Metals Lips</b>, we were treated to a night under the stars with music, drinks and of course, yummy food. I was also lucky enough to take home one of the absolute jam-packed goody bags full of new release products.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Wowza - look at all those products! We received a bunch of new <b>NYX Cosmetics</b> products, as well as a few from other brands which I shared at the end. I was pretty excited to dig into everything.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I received three shades of the new <b>Total Control Foundation</b>; although I feel like the lightest shade I got still might be a bit dark. I also got two shades of the <b>No Filter Finishing Powder</b> which so far I am actually loving.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was also lucky enough to receive the <b>Strobe of Genius Palette</b>; which I actually already own so I will be passing this on to another blogger. As a bonus, there was also three shades of the <b>Lingerie Lips</b>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was actually pretty excited to see the new <b>Double Stacked Mascara</b> in the goody bag. I've heard good things and can't wait to try this one out.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Included was also six shades of the <b>Vivid Brights Liners</b>, which actually swatch beautifully. I can't wait to have a play with them.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />We, of course, received the<b> Cosmic Metals Lip Creams</b>; all shades except one which I have been unable to find in stores yet. I have been loving these though and will do a full blog post on them shortly.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I was pretty happy to see eight shades of the beautiful <b>Lip Lustres</b>, which all look amazing. I love the shades I received.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Lastly, we got a bunch of cool goodies from other brands. There was a mini <b>Garnier Micellar Water</b>, a <b>Redken No Blow Dry</b> which I'm keen to try, and a <b>Models Prefer Ceramic Rim Paddle Brush</b> which I have been loving! There were also two new <b>Hydra Bomb Face Masks</b> and a pretty cool choker from <b>Lovisa</b>.<br /><br />--<br /><br />Overall, it was a fabulous evening. I feel so thankful to be gifted such a generous goody bag and honestly can't wait to dig into everything! Let me know if you'd like to see a review on anything in particular.<br /><br />--</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'm on a spending ban - sadly it's not much of a choice but at the moment it's necessary for me to keep my money for rent and bills. This will soon change and I'll have a little more freedom, but for now, I've been shopping my stash.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Personally, I love full coverage makeup. It just looks so much cleaner and I hate my uneven skin tone shining through usually. I have more than few BB creams - and I was wondering why I even bother because usually, they are too sheer to really do anything much. So I thought I would show a few BB creams with higher coverage that I've been loving lately. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I've selected three BB creams that I've been using for the past few years, and that are usually on high rotation. All three have relatively high coverage and go on like a dream.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My first and favourite of the bunch is the <b>SheerSkin Perfect Natural AA Base</b>. I honestly don't remember how I even started using this (it may have been sent to me originally but this is my third tube now) but I love it. This one gives the absolute smoothest base and I often will use this as more of a primer when I'm doing a full formal look. But for a day to day look, this stuff is perfection. Sadly it's not readily available in stores so you would need to head online to find it, but it is oh so worth it. The formula is incredibly wet, but it dries to almost a powder finish.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="false" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/33927902195/in/dateposted-public/" title="BBCreams003"><img alt="Best High Coverage BB Creams - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2838/33927902195_c77f0a5373_o.jpg" title="Best High Coverage BB Creams - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was pleasantly surprised by the<b> </b></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Rimmel London BB Cream Matte</b></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b> </b>when I originally tried it. For me, Rimmel London is hit and miss with their base products. I either absolutely adore them, or I hate them. Luckily, I absolutely adored this one. Not only does it already contain a low level of SPF, it's super comfortable to wear and so breathable. My skin just loves this stuff. I also love how light the shades go. I think I'm on my fifth tube of this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The<b> Dusty Girls Earth Cream*</b> is probably the latest addition to my collection but it was from some time ago. I'm still on my first bottle because there is loads of product in here! This particular cream is like a mousse foundation and goes on a bit thick, but is easily spreadable. I'm really happy with how light this shade is because it's very hard to find BB creams that actually work for pale gals.<br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="false" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/33084242694/in/dateposted-public/" title="BBCreams006"><img alt="Best High Coverage BB Creams - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2880/33084242694_3020981fd4_o.jpg" title="Best High Coverage BB Creams - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Swatches: SheerSkin, Rimmel London, Dusty Girls</i></span><br />As you can see, the <b>SheerSkin Perfect Natural AA Base</b> is a little bit watery and does need time to set; whereas the<b> Rimmel London BB Cream Matte </b>goes matte right away and looks fantastic straight away if you're in a rush. The<b> Dusty Girls Earth Cream* </b>gives a bit more of a dewy look which is great for a more natural finish.<br /><br />-- <br /><br />I've been using these three on rotation lately, so don't be surprised to see these in my empties in the next few months. My go-to for everyday looks would probably be the <b>Rimmel London BB Cream Matte</b> as it's the easiest and quickest to use.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This month, I was contacted by the gorgeous people at<b> Good Green Box </b>asking if I'd like to try out their March box. I have tried<b> Good Green Box </b>before after they attended a <i>Bloggers United AU Event</i>, but I hadn't subscribed to them.<br /><br />I received my March box a few days ago. I'm not sure if it usually comes at the end of the month or it was just because mine was specially sent out. Either way, I'm not really too fussed. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Much like other subscription boxes, <b>Good Green Box</b> includes a card with all the products included on it, as well as an ingredients card. I think the ingredients card is incredibly important due to allergies and personal choices to avoid certain products. With a box containing all natural products, I'd expect nothing less.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This month we received seven products altogether. I was pretty excited to see the <b>Sarah Jean False Lashes,</b> along with the <b>Waterproof Eyelash Adhesive</b>. I haven't had much luck with lashes in the past so I'm hoping the new mascara-like application will help me out.<br /><br />For sachet samples, I got the <b>Bondi Wash Body Wash</b> in <i>Tasmanian Lavender and Pepper</i>. This sounds so divine and I can't wait to try it out. I also got the <b>Amazing Oils Organic Magnesium Wipes </b>which I can't wait to try out. Suffering chronic pain, I hope these work! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I did get a miniature <b>Earth Mumma Pit Paste Natural Deodorant</b> as well. I like using natural deodorant so I'll be keen to try this. There was also a pretty decently sized <b>MIOD Balancing Face Oil</b> which I'm super interested in, as this one is suitable for all skin types but extra awesome for oily skin such as mine. Lastly, there was also a pretty cool sample size of <b>Wotnot Sensitive Wipes</b>, which I have used before and like well enough. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">I don't have a hero product yet as I was pretty keen to share this box with you, but the product I'm most keen to try is the <b>Sarah Jean Waterproof Eyelash Adhesive.</b> I have never tried an alternative to the mainstream lash glue, which I always struggle with, so I'm excited to see how this goes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;"><br />--<br /><br />Overall I think this was a pretty decent box. There are a few fabulous looking products I can't wait to try out, and some brands I've now discovered.<br /><br />Have you received your March <b>Good Green Box</b>? If so, what are your thoughts?

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It's that time of year again if you can believe it. Easter is just around the corner and honestly, I'm not prepared. I have a packet of easter eggs I've been eating myself, but I haven't even considered buying gifts for family or friends. Luckily,<b> Lush Cosmetics </b>has me covered for something completely unique - their limited edition Easter collection.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/32943965504/in/dateposted-public/" title="LushEaster002"><img alt="Lush Cosmetics Easter Collection 2017 - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3841/32943965504_8541800df1_o.jpg" title="Lush Cosmetics Easter Collection 2017 - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">I was lucky enough to be sent a few bits and pieces from this collection; I also stopped in and bought something I had my eyes on. I ended up with seven limited edition Easter products to try out for myself.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">One of the products I was most excited by was the <b>Wash Behind Your Ears Shower Gel*</b>. This is weirdly made of carrots but smells absolutely amazing. I always love the Lush shower gels so I am so keen to start using this.<br /><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Oh boy, oh boy! A brand new lip scrub and it's chocolate! The<b> Chocolate Lip Scrub*</b>! While it's technically chocolate orange, it still smells delicious as anything. I've already used this (couldn't even help myself before the photos) and it was just as good as the other scrubs.<br /><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="false" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/33657563931/in/dateposted-public/" title="LushEaster005"><img alt="Lush Cosmetics Easter Collection 2017 - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2936/33657563931_70276a363b_o.jpg" title="Lush Cosmetics Easter Collection 2017 - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /><b>Flopsy</b> was the face wash jelly I picked up. It smells just amazing - I can't even put my finger on the scent - but it's delicious. When you open it and undo it, the entire face jelly turns into a bunny head. Sadly, I couldn't undo mine to look pretty enough for a photo.<br /><br />
</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="false" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/32973969473/in/dateposted-public/" title="LushEaster006"><img alt="Lush Cosmetics Easter Collection 2017 - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3852/32973969473_5e7bc12dc3_o.jpg" title="Lush Cosmetics Easter Collection 2017 - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">And... four awesome bath products. The first one that caught my eye was the <b>Golden Egg Bath Bomb*</b> which has been one of my favourites from previous years. There was also the reintroduction of the <b>Bunch of Carrots Bubble Bar*</b>, which has changed slightly since previous years as well. New creations include the <b>Chick N' Mix Bath Bomb*</b> which is too cool because it breaks open; and lastly the <b>Which Came First Bath Bomb*</b> (strips version, there is also a spots version) which smells and looks good enough to eat.<br /><br />--<br /><br />How cool is this collection then? I was so excited by everything in this collection - I feel as though <b>Lush</b> always outdoes themselves!<br /><br />Will you be buying anything from the new collection? If so, which ones?<br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It's so hard to believe we've already finished off three months of 2017. It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating Christmas and New Years. So much has happened in the first quarter of 2017 - including getting a brand new job. It's taken a bit of a toll on the blogging side of things, but now that I've got into my groove, I can get back on track.<br /><br />I've also used up a tonne load of products this quarter. I couldn't believe how much stuff I'd finished off, it seems like so much more than a regular three months worth. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Look at all that trash! Honestly, it was so frustrating storing three months worth of empty products purely for space. I usually kept my empties in a small box but this time I had to upsize. Oops. Let's take a closer look at everything I used up, though. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I found that I used up three entire packs of makeup pads - two packs from <b>Woolworths</b> and one pack from <b>Swisspers</b>. Thankfully they're cheap! Since it was over the summer period, I only used three<b> Lush</b> bath bombs - <i>Shoot for the Stars</i>, <i>Sakura</i> and Yoga Bomb. I did also use up the <i>Love You, Love You Lots</i> soap* and <i>The Plumps*</i>; a solid hair conditioner. A few of the <b>Lush</b> products were not in packaging but they were definitely worth a mention. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A few regulars were used up in this quarter as well, which is not really a surprise. Of course the <b>Original Source Mint and Tea Tree Shower Gel</b> which is a staple in our shower. I fell head over heels in love with the <b>Lush Karma Shower Gel</b>. I have a horrible feeling this was a limited edition shower gel, but I have a few other <b>Lush</b> ones to get through. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Of course my regular <b>L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Shampoo</b>, of which I used up two bottles. I'm almost at the end of the conditioner bottle. I also dyed my hair and I used the <b>John Frieda Precision Foam Colour conditioner </b>in a mini size. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />For skincare, I had to say goodbye to a few of my favourites. I had been using the <b>For Beloved One Hyaluronic Acid Moisturising Surge Cream*</b> for ages, and it was doing wonders for my skin. In conjunction, I had been using <b>The Body Shop Drops of Youth Concentrate* </b>which was amazing. This is the older packaging but I'll definitely be investing in this again.<br /><br />I was sad to see the <b>Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Combination to Oily Skin*</b> go because this was so lovely on my skin. I do have a few others to try out though but this one was great. My favourite face cleanser was also finished off this quarter; the<b> Biore Baking Soda Pore Cleanser.</b> I wrote a full blog post about it <a href="http://www.sweetaholic-beauty.com/2016/12/biore-baking-soda-skincare.html">here</a> because it was just so fab. I also finished off the <b>Swisse Deep Sea Hydrating Mist Toner</b>; which was lovely but not the best toner I've used in my lifetime.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a data-flickr-embed="false" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/92655122@N06/32971369203/in/dateposted-public/" title="1QuarterEmpties006"><img alt="First Quarter Empties 2017 - Sweetaholic Beauty" height="426" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3850/32971369203_e2ddda930d_o.jpg" title="First Quarter Empties 2017 - Sweetaholic Beauty" width="640" /></a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was impressed by the amount of makeup I actually used up this quarter. Believe it or not but I finished off two pressed powders - only because I was reluctant to buy another one while I still had an almost empty one - the <b>Maybelline Matte Maker</b> which is my go-to and the<b> Rimmel London Stay Matte</b> which is my second choice. Have since repurchased both of them. In foundations, I finished off the <b>L'Orel Nude Magique Cushion foundation</b> which I was technically using as a tinted primer because it made my foundation stay on so well. My HG foundation, the <b>L'Oreal Infallible 24H-Matte</b> sadly said goodbye also. Thankfully I had a backup already lined up.<br /><br />I threw away two mascaras; the <b>Rimmel London Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves*</b> which was sadly not the best and the <b>Too Faced Better Than Sex</b> mini mascara, which is the best. Luckily I have a full-size version. I was sad to see the end of the <b>Mirenesse Sexy Secret Eye Primer</b> mini. This lasted me so long, and it was actually such a great eye primer. Lastly, I finished off a whole bottle of <b>Maybelline Master Fix spray.</b> This stuff is the best stuff, and I already have another bottle lined up.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />During the warmer months, I opted for the <b>Dove Original Anti-Perspirant </b>spray. This stuff is the absolute best in the summer time. Because of the heat, I also used up the <b>La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water</b> which is the best for hot weather. Another product I've had in my bathroom for ages is the <b>BX Earth Hand Care Wash</b> in Mandarin and Lemon. I'm going to miss this one because it smelt amazing.<br />I also decided it was time to switch over my<b> Clarisonic*</b> head because it was getting a bit yucky. I was using the original, which worked perfectly for me.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Lastly, I used up two big candles. I'm so sad to see both of them go as they were both awesome. The <b>Glasshouse Triple Scented Candle </b>in <i>Sistine Chapel</i> is a must have and I'll definitely be getting this one again sometime in the future. The<b> Bath and Body Works Stress Relief Antistress </b>candle was so nice and it lasted forever. I went in to buy another one but they were sold out - so I will have to try again another time.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">To be honest, much like last month, I'm excited to try everything. The first product I noticed was the <b>Colour by TBN</b> nail polishes; I got two shades<i> Black Beauty</i> and <i>Emerald Envy</i>. I haven't heard of this brand but I won't say no to a good nail polish.<br /><br />For deluxe samples, I got the <b>Amie Morning Clear Purifying Facial Wash</b> - which is perfect timing as I have just finished my facial wash. I also got the <b>Swisse Rosehip Facial Moisturiser.</b> I love their other skincare but haven't tried this one, so I'm so delighted to try it out. There was also the <b>Bronze by La Mav Gradual Tanning Moisturiser</b>; I've tried and loved La Mav so it'll be interesting to see how that goes.<br /><br />I was pretty excited to see the most adorable sheet mask; the <b>Package Everyday Bouncy Sheet Mask</b>. I love sheet masks so I can't wait to try this. Lastly, the deluxe sample was the <b>Palmer's Shea Butter Formula Raw Shea Body Lotion </b>which I have actually tried before and loved, so it's great to have a travel-friendly version.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Last week, I was lucky enough to attend the premiere of <i>Beauty and the Beast</i>, courtesy of <b>BYS Cosmetics.</b> We took part in the<i> Girls Night Out at Hoyts Cinemas</i>.<b> Bloggers United AU</b> actually helped<b> BYS Cosmetics</b> out with the guest list - which was a lot of fun. I was at the <i>Melbourne Central Hoyts</i>, while the other group was at the<i> Chadstone Hoyts. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Spoiler alert - I cried a few times in the movie. It was amazing. But I'm here to show you the awesome goody bag provided to us from <b>BYS Cosmetics.</b> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The goody bag was incredibly generous and heavy. We also got a free popcorn and drink for the movie which was pretty awesome as well. There was supposed to be a second goody bag but the cinema messed up and forgot to put them out, so <b>BYS Cosmetics </b>are being super kind and mailing them to us instead. I was pretty stoked with these products, though, so I'm definitely not complaining. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I got fifteen products in total. I was excited to see a nice mix of products too. It's been a while since I've used<b> BYS Cosmetics</b>, but they've really started bringing out some awesome products. The fact that they have their own banana powder and round brushes is pretty cool, but the primer spray looks like the most innovative product I've seen from them. </span></div>

I'm really excited to start playing with it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It's almost hard to believe that I have now been blogging for five years. Five long years. I started my blog as a way to battle my depression and social anxiety. Well, five years on I have a successful blog - at least I consider it to be successful - and I am the proud co-founder of an amazing blogging movement, <b>Bloggers United AU</b>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
I thought that rather than simply host a giveaway or do a generic blogiversary post, I would share some of my reflections over the past five years. These reflections can be taken as advice or dismissed, or simply enjoyed by my fellow bloggers - these reflections are mine and mine alone. As bloggers it's inevitable we share experiences, but our own reflections may differ.</span></div>

Blogging has opened up an entirely new world of people, places and things to see and do. I have had so many amazing experiences, and a few not-so-great ones too. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There is a lot of negativity surrounding the word "blogger." I have found this out the hard way. I constantly get the questions: <i>"Do you get free stuff?"</i> or <i>"So you get paid to play with beauty products?</i>" Sadly, it's not that easy. Very early on, I learnt that even when you're a blogger, nothing is for free. There is also a lot of pressure to look good on social media all the time, lead an interesting life and look amazing at every hour of the day. Yeah, nah. Not for me, sorry. I am proud to say I haven't let my love of all things dark, crazy, spooky and weird die out just because I'm a beauty blogger. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and I'm proud to be me.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I said before that I've made a lot of friends. Sadly I've lost a few friends in the process too, but hey, that's life. Blogging has taught me that some people can be nice to your face while talking garbage behind your back. So what, again, that's life. I think my experiences have helped me learn to deal with things like that better, and not let people get the best of me. There will be people who don't like you no matter what, so do what makes you happy and move on. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Five years on - I've experienced so much. Do I want to keep blogging? Hell yeah. Do I want to make it my full-time job someday? Maybe, I'm really not sure. At the moment I love blogging as a hobby. I love working on <b>Bloggers United AU</b> as well, and maybe someday both will be successful enough for me to earn enough money to take care of myself. But I'm not stressed about it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'm proud of my blog. I'm proud of <b>Bloggers United AU</b>. I'm proud of the five years I've put in and I can't wait for the next five. I don't have any specific goals - just to keep being true to myself, keep making myself proud and keep pushing forward!<br />
<br />
How long have you been blogging for? Are you proud of what you've achieved so far?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">My February<b> Lust Have It!</b> is a tad late, so please forgive me. However, I really liked this month so I wanted to share what I got! I have been getting it for the past few months but I've been terrible at actually sharing the contents - hopefully, this will change now that I'm on a better schedule.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Usually, we get our <b>Lust Have It! </b>in a plain black mesh bag. Cute, but get's a tad boring after a while. There's only so many black mesh cosmetics bags a girl can have. This month came in this adorable themed makeup bag. It's so cute, I'm thrilled.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This month's bag contained seven products in total - not too bad at all. The first product I pulled out was the<b> ETC Edgy Tempting Cosmetics Lipstick</b> in <i>True Mango</i>. I've never heard of this brand before so I have no idea what to expect here. Another full sized product included was the <b>Revlon Colorstay Nail Enamel</b> in <i>Provence</i>; which is a gorgeous light purple shade. I'm pretty happy to receive this one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In terms of bath and body, I got a deluxe sample of the <b>Appelles Blackseed Shampoo</b>. This was a mystery item and could have been one of five things from the<b> Appelles</b> range. I've tried this brand before and liked it, so I'm sure this will be lovely too. There were also two full sized<b> Hola</b> face masque's - the<i> Honey Anti-Wrinkle </i>and the <i>Duwhite</i>. I'll be keen to try these out as I had not heard of this brand before. And as for a small sample, I also got <b>The Body Shop </b><i>Oils of Life Facial Oil</i>. I already own the full size of this and love it, so I'll keep this in my stash for just in case.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My hero product from this month has to be the <b>Anatomicals Lilac Body Lotion</b> deluxe sample. Not only does it smell amazing, but I absolutely love anything I try from this brand - and this body lotion has been no exception. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;"><br />There were also two discount coupons for <b>The Gourmet</b> and for <b>Brands Exclusive</b>. I'm not sure if I'll get around to using these but I'll definitely check them out as they seem interesting. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Roughly this time last year,<b> Rimmel London</b> released the amazing The<i> Only One</i> lipstick collection. With a huge range of twelve stunning shades, the beauty world had a new favourite lipstick. They are still my go-to lipsticks - even a year later. Now, <b>Rimmel London</b> has shocked us again with their gorgeous The<i> Only One Matte</i> lipstick range. You can read my review on the original range <a href="http://www.sweetaholic-beauty.com/2016/03/rimmel-london-only-one-lipstick.html">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Featuring nine matte shades, this range shares the same packaging but in a stunning red tube. This range is relatively versatile, much like the first lot, ranging from lovely nudes to deep purples.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This range also shares the same lipstick design. I find these to be a bit difficult to apply due to the shape, so I have been opting for a brush. With the original range, because it was a traditional lipstick, not having such crisp lines was forgivable.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My swatches were a tad messy as I didn't use a lip brush for my swatches, but I have been for my usual application. I was actually excited by the formula. I have tried a lot of matte products and rarely they are comfortable without a bit of prep. These babies just glide right on and sit tight all day - no dry patches or yucky lips afterwards. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The only downside - if you consider it to be - is the application. If you have a steadier hand than me you'll probably be fine but because my lips aren't exactly even, I do need the assistance of a brush. That aside, these lipsticks are incredibly gorgeous and I'm totally in love with each and every shade.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For those of you who don't know, <a href="http://njtreviews.blogspot.com.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nikita</a> and I run <a href="http://www.bloggersuntiedau.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bloggers United AU</a> and manage a fabulous Australia wide team. We have recently hit our two year anniversary - we are beyond proud and so grateful to the blogging community within Australia that has helped us be so successful. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">To celebrate our first birthday last year, we hosted a series of<b> Lush</b> parties for a few members of our community and they went off with a bang. This year, we were incredibly fortunate enough to be able to host our second birthday parties with <b>Lush</b> again. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The first party for this year took place last weekend at the Swanston Street store in Melbourne. This store has recently been revamped and looks absolutely amazing. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and just downright beautiful. We learnt how <b>Lush </b>makes their fresh face masks, we played a few games and we had some delicious little treats to eat. <b>Lush </b>also surprised us with a take home goody bag full of exciting goodies, which I'm about to show you now.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> I didn't take many photos on the night but we did have a photographer there, so once we receive the photos I will share a few. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We got four tubs of products and a sample size product. The products we received were varied in the bag, but I got <b>Dream Cream</b> and <b>Ro's Argan Body Conditioner</b>; as well as the two face masks we made fresh in store - <b>Cupcake</b> and <b>Catastrophe Cosmetic</b>. The sample sized product was the beautiful <b>Ultrabland</b> cleanser.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I've used all of these products except <b>Catastrophe Cosmetic</b>, so I was pretty excited to see some favourites included.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The two face masks were created fresh in store. This was so exciting to watch - even though I saw it last year - I am aways interested. I have tried <b>Cupcake</b> before. This one smells like delicious chocolate cake batter and looks good enough to eat. But, believe me, the taste is not something you will enjoy. <b>Catastrophe Cosmetic</b> is made up of blueberries and is supposed to great for calming the skin. I found this one actually smelt very sweet like a blueberry pie or something - but it is another mask I would not recommend eating.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Look at those fresh ingredients! I tried <b>Catastrophe Cosmetic </b>the night I got home from the event and fell in love. There was something therapeutic about smearing cold blueberry bits on my face that smelt good enough to eat. Needless to say, I did go out and buy some blueberries today... I may have had a craving.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Lastly, <b>Lush</b> also allowed us to choose one item to take home with us, free of charge. With the entire store at my disposal, I went for one of the newer products. I've been eyeing off the <b>Guardians of the Forest </b>bath bomb on the UK website for a little while, so I was super excited to see it hit Aussie stores. The staff member was shocked I was picking up something so inexpensive but seeing as though my partner bought me a huge amount of <b>Lush</b> for my birthday, I didn't really need anything else! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">--<br /><br />Overall, I'm super impressed by all the goodies we received and feeling so, so grateful at how generous <b>Lush</b> have been. Not only are they wonderful to work with, they also have fantastic ethics and are just a fabulous company as a whole.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A huge thank you to<b> Lush Cosmetics</b> for making our special day even better, and of course a huge thank you to our beautiful community for helping us get there.</span></div>
