Welcome!

Hi, I'm am a 30-something, Sydneysider. A confirmed (unrepentant!) makeup junkie I have been an avid follower of a number of makeup blogs for years. Why did I finally decide to join their ranks? Living in Australia and doing a large portion of my beauty-binging online, I rely on swatches to inform my purchases. Many collections aren't even released here until months after their US/European release and when they are it's rare for us to get the whole range.

So, I've decided to share the love.  For any and all who have scoured pages of Google search results madly looking for a swatch of Rouge d'Armani 508 or Nars Red Square Velvet Matte (or is that just me?), I hope my swatches aid the cause.

While I love ALL makeup, there are a few brands I buy religiously. Armani, YSL, Nars, Urban Decay, Ellis Faas are must-buys, while Dior, Chanel, MAC, Tarte have a respectable representation in my stash 

I'm not a brilliant photographer, a makeup artist or technologically gifted (it took me an hour to figure out I could change the blogspot colour scheme) so please don't expect a professional output. 

I will promise my reviews will be honest and my swatches will be as accurate as I can get them. 

First up, my new YSL glossy stain rebel nude, followed closely by my collection of Nars satin lip pencils and Armani lip maestro. 

Yours in Makeup
