Beauty Gurus You Should Check Out

Hey everyone so I'm not sure if you are aware of this but I really love watching beauty gurus videos on YouTube! I feel like you can learn so much from them and I love seeing other girls perspectives on makeup and fashion etc. So today I have decided to do a post on my favourite YouTubers!

 

1. I think 'Shaaanxo' (http://www.youtube.com/user/shaaanxo) was probably one of the VERY first beauty gurus I ever saw! She is from New Zealand and she is so amazing and down to earth! I met her when she did a meet up and she seemed like such a genuine person and was so gorgeous! She is EXTREMELY good with her posting and posts a video every other day at 2pm. She is so creative and does amazing special effects tutorials as well as beautiful day to day ones.

 

2. Saturdaynightsalrite (http://www.youtube.com/user/saturdaynightsalrite) or 'Karissa Pukas' I found out about through Shannon. She is from Vancouver but now lives in Australia. I have been watching her for about 1 and a half years now and I'm truly in love with her channel! She is such a lovely girl and has such a great style. Would definitely recommend checking her out!

3. Lauren Curtis is an Australian beauty guru who is known online as 'Lauren Beauty' (http://www.youtube.com/user/laurenbeautyy). She does amazing dramatic tutorials which would be perfect for clubbing or going out to night events! She also has tonnes of amazing tips on fake tanning for girls who are looking to try it out. She also gives AMAZING advice and has done some really good advice videos on getting out of relationships and moving on which are very maturely done and would be really helpful for young girls.

 

4. Chloe Morello (http://www.youtube.com/user/ChloeMorello) is also an Australian beauty guru (see a trend...) who is literally a makeup wiz! Apart from being absolutely stunning.. Chloe does amazing makeup tutorial and has literally perfected winged eyeliner like no one else has! Her makeup tutorials are so simple but look so beautiful and are all very wearable.

 

5. Another amazing Beauty Guru, whom all of you have probably heard about, is Michelle Phan (http://www.youtube.com/user/MichellePhan). Michelle was one of the very first beauty gurus on youtube and since then she has built up a beauty empire and has recently come out with her very own make up brand, em cosmetics. Michelle constantly makes professional innovative videos that are always so flawless and well put together. Her looks are so creative, but can easily be replicated by the average person at home.

 



 

6. Zoe Sugg (http://www.youtube.com/user/zoella280390) is probably one of the cutest things to ever happen to YouTube. She is an absolutely adorable British YouTuber that is so hard not to LOVE. She is very well known for her 'Hauls' and collaborations with other well known British and American YouTubers. She is so stunning and has amazing style, which she has recently shown off in her latest look book which you can find on her channel.

7. And last but certainly not least is the lovely Tanya Burr. Tanya is a professional makeup artist from the UK and is the one to watch if you love celebrity and seasonal makeup tutorials. She is one of the sweetest most likable people on YouTube and always seems to be smiling. She also does amazing 'Get Ready With Me' videos which she films before she goes out to bug events such as fashion weeks and movie premiers which are really interesting to watch! You can check out her channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/pixi2woo.

 

 

Fall Staple: Lipstik 'Metric' Ankle Boot

In New Zealand we are currently heading into spring, but I thought I'd do a post on these boots I have been loving as it will still apply to those who live in the Northern Hemisphere.

 

Recently I have been obsessed with ankle boots and had my heart set on getting the perfect pair for autumn. This may seem very simple, but let me tell you I tried on ENDLESS pairs of boots in order to find a pair that complemented my style the most. Some pairs were too chunky, too cheap looking or just plain uncomfortable but luckily I ended up finding the perfect pair, and for a reasonable price.

 

I purchased this pair from Hannahs, they are the Lipstik 'Metric' boot and I am absolutely in love! these boots are so comfortable, I have walked for miles in these. I love the side cut outs also, I felt that they added a little bit of 'edge' to a plain ankle boot. The tassels on the sides are also removable depending on your personal taste, so you wear these boots on many occasions.

Lush Haul

So, I may have accidently taken a cheeky trip into lush…

I always go into lush whenever I am in the city, even if I’m not intending to buy anything. I go in, have a sniff around and get conned into purchasing a new soap or lip balm. I’m sure most people have lush in their country and are religious customers, so I thought I would share some of this things I have picked up from there recently.

The first thing I bought was the lush ‘Rockstar Soap’. I am absolutely obsessed with the scent of this soap. I have been eyeing it up for a while, but never been serious enough to actually buy it as lush products are rather pricy. I have had it sitting by my bed for the past few days and the smell is so strong it is crazy. It is such a feminine, light, floral scent and I can’t wait to start using it!

 

 

The second product I picked up was the ‘Sea Vegetable Soap’. This soap smells so fresh and clean I couldn’t resist. ‘Made with a crust of Atlantic sea salt to simulate, a layer or arame seaweed to soften and lavender and lime oils to articulate the brain’.

The last thing I picked up is probably a product you all have heard of before, the lush ‘Comforter Bubble Bar’. I have been listening to people on YouTube and blogger raving about this product for so long and I decided to see what all the fuss is about. ‘Wraps you in a fluffy pink blanket of blackberry bubbles to keep you safe and warm. Crumble under running bath water for mounds of fragrant bubbles’. This sounds perfect for cold winter nights, which in New Zealand, we have coming our way.

Overall I am completely satisfied with my new purchases and can’t wait to start using them!  Think in total these three products cost me around $30NZD, which is more than I would usually spend on soaps, but I decided to spoil myself.

 

 

I hoped you enjoyed this haul and if you want to see more posts like this let me know in the comments section below. Hope you all have a lovely week

Talk to you soon

Mothers Day

Hey Everyone

Now, this post is exceptionally delayed as school and sport have been interfering with my general posting routine. A few weeks ago, I took my mum out for lunch to a lovely restaurant on Takapuna Beach, for mothers day. I am well aware that this post doesn't exactly fit into the category of my blog, but it was such a beautiful day and I couldn't not share these pictures with you all.

Enjoy

Talk to you soon
