Style by Divine!

This is actually my first cosmetics review on my blog!
Recently I was given the opportunity to sample a couple of lipstick shades and a foundation from an Australian cosmetics brand called Style by Divine to review and try out for myself!
Style by Divine is owned and operated by a lovely lady named Stephanie.  Stephanie is a vintage hair, makeup and eyebrow specialist and has studied in Newcastle, Australia at The Advanced College of Beauty Therapy, so she is a qualified beauty therapist.
Stephanie has worked, managed and owned salons around Sydney, Perth and Newcastle areas.  
Recently Stephanie has branched out with her own cruelty free and CCF accredited cosmetics line called Style by Divine Cosmetics. 

To review for my blog I was given one of her cream foundation's to try out called "Paris" and two lipstick shades called "Rogue" and "Watermelon".

First I started off with a clean face then applied my own concealer, then Style by Divine's cream "Paris" foundation, I found the converge was very good and easy to apply, plus felt great on. All of Style by Divine's cream foundations are a minimum of SPF 15+ and contain skin essential ingredients such as green tea and cocoa butter that nourish your skin throughout the day.

After applying the rest of my makeup, e.g. powder, eye-shadow, eyeliner, mascara and false eyelashes (which was also given to me by Style by Divine) I applied the "Watermelon" lipstick first.

I love the pink colour and how easy it was to apply on my lips, I wore this lipstick throughout the day and I only had to re-apply once after lunch, saying that though this lipstick still has a great staying on power and felt so lovely on and didn't dry out my lips at all. 
All of Style by Divine's lipsticks are made of a high pigment, matt, non-drying formula. Containing ingredients such as coconut oil, shea butter and beeswax to nourish your lips throughout the day.
I've actually ordered and purchased this colour lipstick from Style by Divine.

The next lipstick shade I tried out is called "Rouge" once again I loved the red shade, was very easy to apply, felt great on and didn't dry or crack my lips.
Once again only had to re-apply a little after eating/drinking.  Another great feature to both lipsticks, is they didn't stain my lips after I remove my makeup for the day.

Until next time!

Garden Photoshoot!

Nearly three weeks ago now I had a photo-shoot with  Chrome-plated photography. These are some of the images taken from the shoot!
I had to meet the photographer and his girlfriend at their house at 6:30am for hair and makeup. Miss Cherry Bombshell
did my hair and make-up which took way longer then expected (I have very thick hair and sometimes can take quite long to do a particular style). We wanted to start shooting photos by 8:30am but didn't actually start to about 9:30ish or so.
I had actually had another photo-shoot booked in straight after with another awesome photographer, so I was somewhat late for that one...oops!

 I actually won this photo-shoot from when I attended the Pinup's by the Sea event, in October last year. I went into the competition draw because I had some free photos taken with Chrome-plated photography at the event.
These photos were taken at Redcliffe Botanical Gardens, Queensland, Australia.
I love these photos so much and how amazing they turned out, I'm still waiting on the high-res ones which I should receive any day now. I also adore my hair and make-up thanks to the gorgeous Miss Cherry Bombshell!

Sweet Surrender Dress is by the brand  Tatyana (no longer available from their website).
Shoes and bangle are thrift-ed.
Other accessories were borrowed and belong to Miss Cherry Bombshell.
