Books I Wish I Had Read Earlier | Books

Sometimes you finish a book and sit back. Your mind plays over every dramatic scene and every smart ass comment ass comment a character makes. But then you think to yourself, "Why didn't I read this book earlier?"

We have all had a book that makes us question why we haven't read it earlier after our friend recommended it. So this is my list of books I wish I had read earlier, and maybe you read this list and wish you had read one of these earlier.

Crusin' | Photos From a Holiday

 

Why hello there. This week I was fortunate enough to go on a seven day cruise for a family friend's wedding. The boat visited islands such as Vanuatu. It was an amazing experience going outside of Australia and I had an amazing time!

While on the cruise I went to tropical islands were everyone was nothing but kind and welcoming. I had a great time and got to see a part of the world I have never seen before. I highly recommend traveling and seeing the world, and I would definitely love to go on another cruise. Throughout the holiday I took arrange of photos so I decided to show you some of them.

Benefit Foundation Review

Recently I was in the city and decided to purchase my first ever Benefit product. I have heard amazing things about their foundation, Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow, so I decided to splurge and buy it. I live in Australia so it was quite expensive ($55 au) but it was completely worth it.

 

 

If you have dry skin this works a treat. It didn't feel heavy or like it was blocking my pores. It almost felt like I didn't have any makeup on which is great for school. It has light coverage though, but is buildable. I usually just put medium coverage which works well with my skin tone. With saying that, I would recommend (if you want to buy online) to go into the store and get matched up. I know I was looking at the colours online and thought I found the right colour but I went into the store just in case, I was actually wrong by two shades.

 
But I have to say that this foundation was one of the best I have ever bought, and I highly recommend it!
