Well I’ve dumped all my lipsticks in favour of completely natural and organic cosmetics and the first off the rank is the Miessence Lip Creme. I choose Melon because I’m a fan of medium warm pinky tones and so far I’m loving the color! The coverage is light so if you want a darker color you may need to put on a few layers but it does have some staying power which I liked.

It comes in a little compact with a clear lid so you can see the color and there is actually quite a lot of product in the little tub. It works best with a lip brush but I guess you could also use your fingers if you are in a rush.

The smell is divine (vanilla) and while I couldn’t taste anything the texture felt smooth and light on my lips. Overall I think this is a great little organic lip creme and well worth your money. Find out more >>

We have all had those days when our eyes are little more puffy than we would like. To get rid of them I always use the Nutrimetics Nourishing Eye Pads RRP $22.00 for 40 Pads because the Cucumber and Green Tea extracts really soothe my eyes (especially when I spend too long staring at a computer screen). Quick Tip: Keep your eye pads in the fridge for extra coolness (works wonders for dark circles as well).

This great little video has some awesome makeup tips for covering puffy eyes.

It isn’t just the olympics where gold is hot, the latest trend for eyeshadow, as seen on the catwalks (Versace’s Spring Collection) and Hollywood celebrities on the catwalks over the past few months are metallics and in particular – gold eyeshadow.

If you have a warm skin tone, stick with the coppery gold tones, and cool skin tones should opt for a more white gold colour.

If you want a more subtle look, mix gold with your favorite brown or neutral eye shadow for just a hint of gold shimmer.

This trend is going to be hot this summer in Australia.
