Blank Canvas Cosmetics, a brand known for their makeup brushes but now also eyeshadow palettes. With the affordable price tag and excellent quality I don't know why it has taken me so long to try any of their products. Surprisingly the first product I have tried is not one of their brushes but instead one of their newly realised palettes. Filled with a range of warm toned shades all the way across the warm brown colour spectrum these matte shadows are my go to, along with the one light shimmer shade in the palette which is perfect for highlighting and packing on the lid.

Brows are an ever changing trend, from perfectly sculpted ombre brows, to the embrace your inner Cara brows. Personally my brows are quite a prominent park of my face, with them naturally being quite bold and out of control, regular shaping is needed to keep them under control. Despite this though I would kill to have Cara like brows, which are perfectly shaped however still look natural and thick. Whereas I am left with slightly sparse, but out of control brows. We have had the over groomed, perfected, almost fake brows and the upcoming trends suggest that the next thing will be a more natural brow, with less sculpted sharp lines and more soft colour to add definition.

Dodgey lighting wil be the death of me, and if I had the products out here with me I would simply retake the photo however we all know the deal. Living in Australia I couldn't exactly bring everything with me, however before I came I took a whole load with the aim to keep producing content for you guys expect life got in the way, and free time became time to sleep which I need because I am tired constantly and blogging had to take a back seat. I'm working it out, the whole life, work, social, blog balance and it'll settle again soon.

Back home in England, summer is in full swing. Down under in Sydney its a slightly different story, that sunny hot beautiful country that you dream all about does have a slightly cooler, grey, rained filled days side to it to. Winter does still exist here. Regardless of if your in summer, winter or any other season, you can always find an opportunity to mix a pop of colour into your makeup. The easiest way of course being with a bright nail polish, like this amazing striking blue from Maggie Anne. Or a slightly more simple, subtle way by using Dr Paw Paw tinted lip balm- an essential in my makeup bag.
