Bohemian Vibes






















Top: Similar
Pants: Similar
Sandals: Old
Necklace: Made by me
Rings: Old

Hi everyone!
We are finally into spring in NZ so I am starting to pull the summer clothes out of the wardrobe. I have been feeling the bohemian vibes lately so wanted to put together a comfortable boho style outfit. I got the pants on sale during the winter and have been wanting to wear them so bad. The top is one I got last summer and I really like the diamond pattern on it because it gives is a more interesting look than just plain white. This top is unavailable now but I have put a link to one that is a similar style. The necklace I made myself - you can see more of my jewellery here. The bracelet my friend brought back from Brazil and the rings are old ones from my mum.

Monthly Favorites - August 2015

Hi everyone!

August is now over and it is finally spring!! I am very excited for the warmer weather and summer is only 3 months away! Here is some of my favorite items from the past month.


XOBeauty Lashes - The Naturals Set - I am obsessed with fake lashes and this past month I have been using this set created by Youtuber Shaaanxo. This set is a bit less dramatic than the set I showed in my July favorites but just as amazing. My favorite ones are The Romantic which are at the bottom.

Australis AC On Tour Contour and Highlighting Kit - I can not get over how amazing this kit is! I have only had it for a couple of weeks now but have been using it every time I wear makeup. You can watch my full review here.

Australis Metallix Eyeshadows - These eyeshadows are super metallic and pigmented. At only $12 NZ they are also super affordable! I got the shades Gold Gaga and Lana Del Grey. I will have a makeup tutorial using theses as asap!

Cala Brush Set - I was unsure of how good these brushes would be because I had never heard of this brand and they cost hardly anything. When I tried them I was pretty amazed. They are good quality considering the price. This set includes 2 eyeshadow brushes, 2 face brushes, 2  small angled brushes and a lip brush. I find the angled face brush perfect for contouring. The site I linked is all I could find that sells these brushes. I got mine from a makeup sale.

Elf Waterproof Liquid Liner - This is a very affordable product which I love. It has a small brush applicator which makes it easy to get perfect winged eyeliner. It has a shiny finish. I am unsure of how waterproof this eyeliner is. This exact one isn't on the site but the link is to another elf one that looks similar.

Maybelline Color Elixir - Radiant Raspberry - I have talked about these a couple of times now but I still really like them. This past month I have been using this shade more than the others, probably because I am already wanting it to be summer.

Australis Eyeshadow Primer - There is quite a few Australis products in this favorites which shows how much I am enjoying this brand! I mentioned this primer in the last favorites but I feel the need to talk about it again. After a night out I noticed my eyeshadow still looked exactly the same in the morning which is amazing! (I know, I should remove my makeup at night haha). That has proven that this primer really works.

e.l.f. Gloss - Peaches - I am unsure of which elf product this is or how you can get them in pans like this because I had it given to me from a makeup artist. I really like this shade. It is a pink shade filled with gold glitter which will be perfect for summer. Elf products are very affordable and usually good quality. Here is a couple of links to elf products that may be it or be similar: e.l.f. Studio Pout Perfecter e.l.f. Studio Lip Balm SPF 15
