We all have things we want but don't need. 

I have never written a blogpost about products I really want to try out and own so I thought I would create a list of things I want from either Sephora, Mecca or Myer. If you own any of these products comment below and share your thoughts with me!

Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer

I never used to be into contouring or bronzing but over the past few months I have slowly added it into my routine. For some unknown reason I have always had my eye on this particular product. Every time I enter Mecca I go and sniff it and then I sadly depart from it. One day I will purchase it because the packaging and scent is AMAZING.

Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation

Next up is Tarte's Amazonian Clay Foundation. I don't need a new foundation but that does not stop me from saving this product to my wishlist. I am trying to hurry and use up a few of my current foundations because I desperately want to try this one out.  I love a full coverage foundation and it is cruelty free, you can't get any better than that!

MAC Lipsticks

Like a lot of other people I too want to collect MAC lipsticks. I have an extensive list of lipsticks I want to collect however costing $36 for one I doubt I will ever accumulate this many with my own money. The shades I hope to one day own are: brave, yash, shy girl, hug me, faux, modesty, mehr, kinda sexy, cherish, blankety, japanese maple, twig, creme d'nude, flesh pot and creme cup.

Can you tell I am obsessed with nude/pink shades? Lol. I watch so many MAC lipstick collection videos that I want to own them all!

Urban Decay Naked 3

Last but not least is this Urban Decay palette. I already own Naked 2 and have been obsessed with it ever since I got it. I love all the shades in this palette and its so much more unique to the others by them.

Leave a comment of products that are on your wishlist or let me know if you own any of these products!

I came across an online article (xovain) which revealed the secret to bleaching your hair without the damage and pain. Anyone who knows me personally knows I love blonde hair. If I ever go back to being brunette a month or so later I miss the blonde and want to bleach my hair all over again. Bleach is super damaging to your hair and whenever I do it my hair usually feels dry and lifeless.

So how can you combat this? Well, the article claims that if you sleep with coconut oil in your hair then bleach your hair the following morning it will be a lot less damaging and your hair will feel smooth. She states that the coconut oil actually acts as the natural oils in your hair which protects your hair and scalp. Since I was planning on bleaching my hair anyway I thought I would put this theory to the test and see how it turns out!

Step 1: Create a hot oil hair mask. This is basically melted coconut oil which is done in a pan over the stove before being applied all throughout your hair. I sectioned off my hair and drenched it in this homemade hair mask. I then used gladwrap to cover all my hair before covering it again with a beanie.

Step 2: was to sleep with it. I put an old towel over my pillow in case any oil leaked out.

Step 3: Wake up and apply more oil. Yes thats right, last nights hot oil hair mask isn't oily enough. According to this article the more oil the less damage will be done! I focused majority of the oil on the ends of my hair since they're usually the first place to feel the most dry after bleaching.

Step 4: If you are getting your hair bleached at a salon go and do all that now or if you're doing it at home like I am (my father is a hairdresser) mix the bleach and apply it. Also if you're bleaching DIY, which I probably would not recommend but you do you, continue following the next few steps.

Step 5: Apply gladwrap over your hair again and use a hairdryer to heat up the areas that you applied the bleach to last. This is to help it process faster and for it all to be the same colour.

Step 6: Once your hair is your desired shade jump in the shower or basin and shampoo your hair. The article recommended to shampoo your hair twice and not to condition it.

Step 7: Now is the time to tone your hair, you need your hair to dry off before doing so. Then you jump back into the shower and shampoo once then condition! It says to condition heavily so that is what I did.

Annnnd you're done!

My thoughts
Once I completely finishing colouring my hair it was a lot easier to brush out all the teasing that was done (to help with blending my natural colour with the blonde). When my hair was dried it felt so smooth and my ends, which always usually feel dead, were also smooth! A week after bleaching my hair it was still smooth and did not look damaged. If you are colouring your hair any time soon you need to try this method out!

To help maintain the ash I will be using my John Frieda Tone Correcting Shampoo (full review and photos here!)

Thank you all for reading and I hope that this post has been helpful

1. If you could have anyone in the world do your makeup, who would it be?
NikkieTutorials!She makes everybody look so flawless, glowy, glittery and perfect. She is a makeup Goddess.

2. What's your top makeup tip?
My number one makeup tip is less is more in the sense of less product and build your way up. I know you've all probably heard it before but I find applying multiple thin layers looks better than packing it on. I struggle with acne scarring and using more products but applying each in moderation helps me achieve a less cakey-looking full coverage.

3. What one makeup item could you not live without?
If I were sent to a deserted island and I could only have one product it would be concealer. I use this on my undereyes and blemishes which are my main concerns so concealer is all I really need.

4. What one skincare item could you not live without?
Either jojoba or rosehip oil. I have super sensitive/dry skin and these two oils work wonders for me.

5. What are you worst at when it comes to applying makeup?
Definitely eyeliner, having hooded and non-identical eyes makes it 100000x worse to do a winged eyeliner. I have come to the point where I have given up completely.

6. What's your biggest pet peeve when it comes to beauty?
When people wear a bright colour on their eyes and lips at the same time. It is not the type of look I would particularly go for.

7. What's your favourite makeup era?
I don't really fancy a particular era that I thought the makeup was amazing, trends are always changing are I love that about makeup.

8. What's your guilty pleasure product?
That will have to be my Chanel foundations. They're the most luxury and expensive products that I own and I only save them for very special occasions. 

9. What's your underdog product?
NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder - I've used this product for years (5 years) and to this day it is still my favourite brow product. It is so affordable but works so well!

10. What's your favourite makeup product of 2016?

Lipsticks - forever and always lipstick will be my favourite makeup product. Lately I am on a MAC lipstick craze and want to collect them.

I have tagged people to do this tag on my instagram account but feel free to comment below your answers. Thank you for reading xx

Welcome back everyone to a new blogpost and a new week!

I have finally accumulated enough used up products to review for you all. (To read my first trash talks post click here.) I have been pushing myself lately to use up any products that were almost finished and I have also been testing out a lot of samples the past month.

Without further ado lets get into the reviews.

Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation

$62 AUD

I tested out a new foundation and used up the sample completely. This was the Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation. I have normal-dry skin and struggle with foundation always ending up looking cakey and powdery on me. I wore this foundation for the first time to work (fast food) for 7 hours. When I got home and inspected my face I barely had any creasing in my smile lines, no creasing at all on my forehead and my skin looked healthy and glowy. I didn't look like a powdery dry mess at all! I was super impressed with this foundation and I really want to purchase the full size!

Skin Doctors Supermoist Hydrating Face Moisturiser

$44.95 AUD

Moisturiser is one of the products that I always go through so fast. I still haven't found the perfect moisturiser for my skin and am always trying out a new one when I use one up. This moisturiser didn't irritate my sensitive skin and it really hydrated my dryer skin. It didn't take long at all to settle into my skin which meant I could apply my makeup almost immediately after application.

Some days I really felt like it made my skin look so clear and healthy which left me amazed but other days I felt as though it wasn't anything special. In saying that I did still really enjoy using it and it was one of the better moisturisers I have ever tried. I will not be repurchasing it any time soon as I am currently trying out another one. The price is also a little off-putting for a moisturiser.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

$12.69 AUD

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. This is the second or third one of these that I have gone through and I am pretty sure it was in my first Trash Talks post. I have already repurchased it and I always will. It is the best concealer I have ever tried for both undereyes and blemishes. It leaves you with a dewy finish and medium/buildable coverage.

GlamGlow Supermud

$98 AUD

Face masks have become my obsession in the past year and I love trying out new ones to figure out what work for me and what don't. This is the first mask I used up in this empties review and it was only a sample but I used it up so quickly! Since I had a limited amount I only applied it directly to pimples and slept with it. When I woke up they reduced in size and it even brought some to the surface which would have taken an extra few days if I didn't speed up the process. I loved this mask and really want to purchase the full size but it is so expensive! I need to keep hunting for it to find it at a bit more of an affordable price but I definitely recommend this.

Nars Sheer Glow in Fiji

$71 AUD

First of all can I just say has the price for this gone up at MECCA recently???? I swear it was $65 when I bought my full sized one! It's always the things you love that have to be the most expensive.

Anywho, I love this foundation. This one here was a sample that I used up because I was trying out a shade that was my summer colour. Summer just ended for those of you on the other side of the world who are luckily entering it. For a full review on this foundation click here

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer

$58 AUD

To be completely honest this primer didn't really do anything for me. You would already know by now that my skin is on the normal/dryer side and I also do not have large pores. The only thing I noticed with that primer was that my foundation applied a lot smoother however it felt like I was applying straight up silicone. I still had creases in my smile lines which was pretty disappointing although barely any primers prevent that. I prefer my affordable primers over this one and definitely won't be repurchasing. 

Maybelline Eyestudio Brow Precise

$9.99 AUD

For an affordable eyebrow pencil I really enjoyed using this. It glided on very smoothly and lasted all day. It did come with a few downfalls as it was such a smooth product that it was hard to achieve sharp lines and it meant it went blunt very quick. I won't be repurchasing this as I am obsessed with my brow pomade and powders. I still do recommend this if you are looking for a pencil to quickly fill in your brows!

KIKO Skin Tone Corrector Primer

9.90 pounds

This is the only colour correcting primer I have ever tried and I'm sad that I have used it all up. Living in Australia means I cannot repurchase this product and if I could I would! It is a green primer to counteract the redness in your face and I found that it dulled it down enough for me to notice it made a difference.

The primer has a smooth moisturising feeling to it and although I didn't find it to prolong the wear of my makeup it did create the perfect base for foundation. If you can get your hands on this try it out!

Avon Moroccan Argan Oil Mask

$12.99 AUD

I have gone through about 4 of these masks over the past few years and love it for a deep conditioning treatment. It is affordable and leaves your hair feeling so smooth! I won't be repurchasing as I make my own hot oil hair masks now.

EOS Lipbalm

$10.60 AUD

This lip balm was a gift a few months ago and I used it up so quickly. I applied it twice a day and it left my lips feeling soft, although it is not the most moisturising lip balm I have tried it works really well under lipsticks or liquid lipsticks. It prevents your lips from feeling tight and dry when used this way.

ELF High Definition Undereye Setting Powder

$8 AUD

I bought this powder after hearing Shaaanxo and Kathleenlights mention it on their channels. It helps to brighten up the undereyes and set concealer. This one that I own had small glitter particles throughout it which really helped brighten the area when the light hit them. These were not obvious at all and most brushed away when you applied it. For $8 this powder works really well however I find that my undereyes still do crease slightly. I will not be repurchasing this product now as I use translucent powders and "bake" my undereyes but I would probably get this again in the future.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

$9.99 AUD 

I feel like everyone raves about this product, me included. When I cannot be bothered using the following product I'll be discussing I always reach for this. It is time-effective, cost-effective and works wonders. It does not irritate my eyes or sensitive skin at all and does not break me out like some people have said. Keep this in mind if you have really sensitive skin. I have already repurchased this - it is a must have for me!

Palmer's Facial Cleansing Oil

$14.95 AU

This is a dry skinned girl's dream cleanser. To remove a full face of makeup I had to go in with this twice otherwise for my usual "every day" face one cleanse sufficed. After using this product it did not leave my face with a weird oily film which I was pleased about, instead it left my skin feeling soft and moisturised. If I don't find any other affordable cleansing oils or balms I will be repurchasing this one! Palmer's skincare range works really well with my sensitive skin.

Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel

$11.57 AUD

Another product I purchased because of Kathleenlights was this toner. This took me forever to use up because I'm not a toner person. I actually put it into a spray bottle to encourage myself to use it more often. I don't really understand the purpose or need of toner but I will probably repurchase this because it is so affordable and lasts a long time. It did not irritate my skin at all.
