Tumblr Inspo #12

I have had all of these pictures sitting in a folder for the longest time waiting for my next Tumblr Inspo post, so I thought it was about time that I put them all together and give my usual spiel about what's been going on in my life. Largely I was saving this post for the day I did my driving test, because it has been a goal I've shared here multiple times and couldn't wait to update you guys on the progress.

I got my licence! As a 20 year old living in Melbourne, Australia it is (kind of) rare to not have your license by now. This is something I have struggled with since I was 16 and got my learners permit. First I struggled to find time to drive at all, then I struggled with actually getting the hours up as I was only going on minuscule drives and then I wasn't driving at all for a huge two years. In December of 2014 I started driving again and luckily picked it back up quickly. It's now March of 2015 and I have my licence!

I am beyond excited and just wanted to share this snippet of my life with you guys as it was my #1 goal of 2015 and I completed it in the first three months - which feels awesome. How has your week been?

What's In My Makeup Bag?

I received a comment the other day from a reader saying that they would love to see what was in my pug makeup bag and I realised that I had never done a post like this. This bag is everything I use often and the things I like to have on hand at all times. While I don't wear all of this makeup every day, it's full of all of my favourites and I thought a mini review on each product would make this post a little more interesting!

Celeb Inspired: Kendall Jenner

Kendall is my ultimate style and makeup icon. She keeps things simple on the face, which I love, and her style is just perfection. I've put together a little roundup of products that remind me of Kendall and that I use to achieve her signature look.

Matte Definition
Although this is Kim's palette, Kim's Kardazzle really does work for Kendall as well. If Kendall wears shadow at all from day to day, it's a simple matte look with crease definition. Failing that, she will have subtle, natural shimmers, bronzes and golds. This palette is perfect for achieving either!

Nude Lips
Kendall often sports a nude lip, and Nottinghill Nude by Rimmel is my ultimate nude. It just suits my skintone well, which can be hard to find when you have fair skin. When recreating Kendall's look, pick a nude that suits you and you'll be good to go!

Cheekbones
Much like her sisters, Kendall often goes for a very glowing and contoured look. This AC on Tour palette by Australis is perfect to get those famous cheekbones or to just warm up your complexion. It also has all of your highlighting needs in one, from a matte setting powder to a shimmer perfect for highpoints.

Graphic Liner
Winged liner is such a polished yet edgy look, and when Kendall uses liner you can bet it's going to be winged. This liner creates a sharp, opaque line and is perfect for achieving that crisp, winged look the girls are famous for.

Long Lashes
This mascara creates that long, fluttery look that stirs envy in us all. It separates and lengthens, which is exactly what you're after.

Are you a fan of Kendall's look?

Trending: Royal Blue Nails

I am someone who picks up a new polish colour, becomes obsessed with it and wears it none stop for six months until I develop a new colour obsession. Royal blue nails is my latest obsession and I've been sporting it on my toes since New Years Eve, which is almost a month already!

Tumblr Inspo #6

It's been a busy week full of back to school prep which is honestly the best part of going back to uni (stationary!). I've been spending time with friends, queuing some blog posts for when things get hectic and overall just enjoying the last days of the holidays. I officially went back today but only had one lecture to tackle, so it was a very easy way to start the second half of the year. 

I've been having a lot of me time and getting back into things that I had kind of neglected the first half of the year. I was too comfortable in my music niche and honestly didn't listen to much of it. But I've been spending ages trawling through Spotify, which is a godsend, and building up fun playlists and spending time discovering a lot of new bands and catching up on what I've missed from my old favourites. I've also taken a lot of time to write, which is a major hobby of mine, and something I never really neglect completely, but I have been doing a lot more of it. 

It's been amazing to catch up with a lot of friends who have opposite schedules to you making it impossible to hang out in the school year without meticulous planning and execution. I've found that the friends that have lasted since high school are those who I can pick up with right where we left of without there being any weirdness.

This has been a huge ramble, but I honestly find these posts so fun and calming to write. As always, there is a lot of the Kardashian and Jenner clan for you to feast your eyes upon, but they are killing it lately (but I say that every month!). I hope all of your months/weeks/days are going great. If you'd like to, please link me your Tumblrs - I'm always looking for new people to follow.

Note: I wrote this post a week or two back and forgot to publish it, that's why I'm talking about school as though I just started.

Tumblr Inspo #4

 

Another collection of images I've been loving lately. I keep trying to justify these posts because they do feel a little slack at times, but I've been getting such lovely comments as a response to them. As you can see, I've definitely had travel on my mind again when it comes to what images stand out to me. I don't want to say too much on this right now because I hate talking about things until they're one hundred percent booked, paid for and at the point of no return - I feel like I'm jinxing it otherwise.

I've also been finding myself looking at a lot of tattoo inspiration blogs as well. They are a thing I've always wanted but an idea I love hasn't come to me yet. My master plan was always to get one as soon as I was able to, but two years have passed and I still don't have one! It's something I'm constantly thinking about, I feel like I need a major event to happen in my life to justify it, which is silly! A lot of people have a lot of different opinions when it comes to tattoos and I for one love them. The crystal one featured above is so stunning, I've seen a lot of gorgeous amethyst toned watercolour style tattoos and have loved every one of them. For me, I'd love a smaller, subtler piece but I love admiring them all the same.

As always, there's a member of the Kardashian/Jenner family thrown in the mix! I can't help my obsession, they're all so gorgeous and the show gives me life. Kendall looks amazing in this photoshoot she did recently, and has been killing it with her outfit choices for her and Kylie's book tour this month!

Back off to studying I go, I hope those of you in the same boat are coping. My exams are so drawn out compared to my friends, they finish at the end of the week while I still have another full week after that to go.

Kardashian Beauty: Kim's Kardazzle Palette

It's no secret that I love the Kardashian's, so when their makeup line hit Australian shelves there was no choice - I had to pick up at least one item. While the lip colours and honey scented glosses looked amazing, these shadows were too gorgeous to pass up especially for the price.

This palette is designed to mimic Kim's personal style which is always very neutral in terms of shadow and blush, which is very true for me as well. I adore Khloe's palette which is full of silvers, burgundies and blacks but Kim's is what I thought I'd get the most use out of.

The composition of four mattes and four shimmers is what sold me, I love matte eyeshadows and they can be difficult to find. I haven't found myself reaching for the blushers (ignore the chunk missing, I dropped it!), though I really should, but the highlighter is gorgeous.

I can honestly say I use this every day I'm wearing makeup. Even if I just use the second colour in the top row to dust over my lids to give them a little something extra - you can tell this is my most used shade from the giant dip in it! The dark brown is perfect for creating a smokey eye while the medium brown is great for adding some definition to the crease. The shimmery shades are all gorgeous and perfect for night-out looks.

Overall, the shadows are pigmented and super easy to blend! Even if you aren't a fan of the Kardashian's this is definitely a must-have and I can't imagine doing my every-day neutral eye without it!

What other products are notable from Kardashian beauty? I'm eager to try more out!
