Knee High boots, Why I love them and How to wear them!

3 Comments

Hey Guys welcome back to my blog, todays post is about my knee high boots from Duo Boots and I am absolutely loving them, I was lucky enough to be gifted them.

 

Here is the link if anyone wants to get them

Knee High Boots

These boots are super comfy and I love that you can pick the calf size so you aren’t wearing boots you have to squeeze into or that are loose around your calfs. I also love that their is in between sizes as well. I can rarely find places that do in-between sizing, does anyone else have this problem?

So here is a few inspo options for how you could wear your boots.

This is one of my favourite ways to wear the boots, I think it is flattering to all shapes as well.

This could be a knit dress, body-con dress or really any shorter dress.

Next up is this outfit styling;

I also love the look of shorts with knee highs as well. I find boots look a lot better with dresses, shorts and skirts then they do with jeans. Jeans can make you look more stocky, especially if you are more curvy like me.

Lucky last inspo is this outfit, as I said before I love skirts or shorts with the boots.I think this look is very classy and elegant, plus it is flattering in all sizes as well. Outfits like this dont make me feel frumpy and gross, they help shape my curves and make me more confident in my body.

I hope you liked this post, did you want to see more posts like it?

Also I am thinking of doing more body positivity posts and would love to know if you would be interested in seeing them.

Here is the link for the boots again as well if you want to get yourself some.

So recently I did my second order with ShopandBox, taking advantage of the Sephora VIB sale.

What I got and their US Rrp;

  • Too Faced White Chocolate Chip Palette $26US
  • Smashbox Glow and Go set $29US
  • Sephora Favourites Beauty after last call $22US
  • Benefit Refined and Defined Brow Kit $34US
  • Cinema Secrets brush cleaner $8US

Total: $119US

Total with discount: $101.15US

Plus Shipping Fee and and Service Fee: $47.84US

Total Cost: $148.99US

Total Cost Aud: $198.75AUD

What I got and what they cost in Australia;

  • Too Faced White Chocolate Chip Palette $37AUD
  • Smashbox Glow and Go set (Unavailable in Aus) So $38.69AUD for the cost of US price
  • Sephora Favourites Beauty after last call (unavailable in Aus) So $29.35AUD for the cost of US price
  • Benefit Refined and Defined Brow Kit $59AUD
  • Cinema Secrets brush cleaner $42AUD

Total: $206.04AUD

Plus Shipping cost: $16.95

Final Total: $222.99

Savings by using ShopandBox: $24.24AUD

Yes the savings arent catastrophically great but any saving is a good saving and a lot of the time you can get amazing deals like the Sephora Favourites boxes you cant get in Australia. Its also a good idea to use Shipping services like ShopandBox when your favourite American companies have amazing specials or exclusive deals, because then you get the most for your money, another great feature from Shopandbox is the amount of samples you get given from your boxer; with my last order I got a whole mix of products including a colour-pop eyeshadow!?! One company to buy from in America is Mac Cosmetics, they have been known to have almost a 100% markup for most products and sometimes even more and it happens with a lot of the Australian Cosmetic stores. For example it’s 17 USD (22 AUD) for a Mac lippie in the US versus 36 AUD in Australia.

If you want to try, or even check out Shopandbox click the link below. You can use the discover page to find what people are buying at the moment from countries all over the world.

You foodz healthy meal plans, what are they like? Are they worth the buy? 

1 Comment

Hey guys welcome back to my blog, sorry it’s been a while since my last post I went on holiday for just under a month and it’s been so hard to catch back up. But I am trying my best to get back to regular posting. I would love if you guys could let me know what kind of posts you want to see in the comments as well. 

So anyway this post is to talk about you foodz, the meals I tried and what I thought of the food. 

So I tried quite a few of the meals, all meals are $9.95 each which is pretty good for a ready to eat healthy meal that’s not been frozen and lost all its nutritional value. 


You foodz has an amazing range from things such as salads, to pasta and ribs. The boneless ribs are amazing by the way! My favourite meal has to be the salmon, I love salmon but it’s so expensive to buy so getting a salmon meal for 9.95 is definitely worth the price. 

All the meals are full of flavour and are amazing servings as well. Most meals I can’t finish because the servings are so big which is really uncommon for calorie controlled meals. After a few days of eating the meals I could feel the difference in my stomach as it is quite sensitive and prone to bloating. I felt lighter and cleaner. I definitely think you foodz is worth the buy if your looking to lose a few kilos and give your body more energy. I am definitely going to order from them whenever I can. 
Has anyone tried them before?

What do you think of them? 

Also guys let me know what you want me to post about next. 

Royal essence ring candle + ring bath bomb review and ring reveal!

Leave a comment

Hey guys welcome back to my blog. 

Today’s post is a review and ring reveal for the two royal essence products I tried. 

I got the watermelon lemonade candle and the bubblegum bath bomb. 

The candles cost $46.99Aud

And the bathbombs cost $24.99

Both with the chance to get a ring worth between $10 and $2000. Now that’s pretty awesome, seeming as the prices aren’t much more expensive to candles that size usually, the bathbombs are a bit more expensive then the usual but they are a less messy way of getting to reveal a surprise ring. 


So the two rings I got ended up having equal values both being worth $40 so I actually saved money in the long run. They are both gorgeous rings as well. 

This is the one I got with my candle. 

And this is the one I got with my bathbomb. I can definitely see how people get addicted to collecting the rings. The second I saw which rings I got I wanted to buy more candles and bathbombs to try find one worth $2000 

They are such a great idea and honestly it’s a win win, even if you get a ring worth $10 you get a beautiful smelling candle or bathbomb! 

I can definitely see myself collecting more. Has anyone bought one before? What ring did you get? Show me in the comments 

My Shop and Box experience! Costs, benefits and overall is it worth it? Plus giveaway sneak peek..

Hey guys welcome back to my blog. 

Today’s post is about my shop and box experience and haul! 

So I had the chance to try shop and box myself this month and I decided to check out Sephora US and Ulta as they are one of the two most well known makeup shops and are known to have some awesome sets and exclusive palettes.

This is what I got:

I got the Urban decay vice palette 

Which actually isn’t sold in Australia 

The smashbox light it up collection 

Rrp is 66Aud

Lorac dance till dawn palette which is an ulta exclusive and can’t be bought in Australia 

Then the Sephora favourites extravagant eyes which also isn’t sold in Australia Which gave you $134US(175aud) value for $42Us (55Aud). 


When using shop and box all you have to do is add items to a Wishlist you can pick from 29 different countries. I have used shop and box before but decided to shop from the US this time. I had boxer Yan, who was amazing they even gave me a little sample bag with my order which I thought was so sweet. When you order from shop and box you don’t need to pick just one shop you can use multiple, once your boxer receives the items they post photos on your chat so you can see they are in tact. 

Once your items are bought, You then proceeded with Invoice 2 the service fee which ranges between 10-14% with the fee the more you spend, the lower the service fee tier + international shipping

Once it’s all paid, DHL shipping takes 3 days from the US to your doorstep. I was so happy with how quick it all got to me and so well packaged as well. I will Definitely be shopping with them again. I have attached some more photos of the things I got so you can have a closer look. Also I will be giving away a Lorac palette and a shop and box experience on my Instagram so make sure you check it out

Has anyone shopped with shop and box before? What did you think if you did?

My Everyday Beauty must have!

Hey Guys welcome back to my blog todays post is dedicated to a product I can never buy to much of…

Dry Hair Shampoo! Now if your like me and rely on dry shampoo to get you through a lazy week then this post is for you.

I have been testing out the different Klorane dry hair shampoo range and I am in love, there is one for normal, oily and dry scalps which I think is an amazing idea as I find some dry hair shampoos make my scalp quite irritated after using.

One thing I love about the Klorane dry hair shampoo is it really does give your hair that refreshed feeling and it always gives my hair a bit more volume.

Some I have used in the past just make my hair look like i’ve dumped a bag of flour on it and feels that way as well.

For all you normal hair girls you can use any of the three normal, oil control and dry scalp.

My favourite of the set is the Dry Shampoo with nettle, the nettle is added for oil control, I struggle with oily hair so it is always in need between washes so I don’t need to wash everyday.

If you struggle with a dry scalp the dry shampoo with Oatmeal is the one for you, the oatmeal soothes and moisturises your scalp while the dry shampoo refreshes your hair and adds volume.

Has anyone tried these, what do you think of them?

Top 5 Setting sprays.. Which is the ultimate favourite?

6 Comments


Hey there guys,

Todays post is a bit of a review of my collection of setting sprays Including; Loreal infallible, Mac fix +, Nyx Matte finish, Trilogy hydrating mist, Maybelline Master fix and Urban Decay all nighter spray.

So firstly, Out of all of these my favourite actually isn’t high end, which I am surprised about.

So firstly I will give my reviews and then I will tell you which is my most and least favourite.

First up Loreal Infallible spray, this spray is seriously amazing, it is my absolute go to setting spray. It keeps me matte and stops my makeup from sliding around on a hot day. I was so impressed with this spray when I got it to try from the Loreal PR team. This spray is completely different to any others I have tried, you need to shake the bottle before you use it as there is a sediment at the bottom. If you don’t shake it you’ll get white spots all over your face so definitely don’t forget to shake.

Secondly is the Mac Fix + I really do like this spray, but I don’t feel much different after it. I don’t know if I am using it wrong or not. If anyone has any tips for fix + I would love to hear them.

Next up is the Nyx Matte Finish spray, I really like this spray it keeps me nice and matte, but I find it doesn’t make my makeup last as long as most other sprays but it definitely keeps me felling refreshed.

Next is the Trilogy hydrating mist. I believe this one is meant to be a setting spray but my skin isn’t a big fan, I sometimes have issues with lavender products so that could be why. if you like scented setting sprays it’ll definitely be something you like.

Next is the Maybelline Master fix spray, this is meant to be a dupe for the mac fix +, It is definitely similar but I don’t think it is a dupe, they are both great in their own way. They are both refreshing and both help set though but seriously nothing beats the Loreal Infallible spray for me. I have never used a spray so perfect for my skin.

I would love to know what you all think of these sprays and what your favourite spray is.

As well I would love to know what you want to see more of on my blog as well.

I am thinking of starting Youtube again, would anyone watch it?
