Long time readers will know that I’m a vanilla gourmand girly at heart. It’s the one fragrance note that I cannot get enough of. If I could eternally smell like vanilla candy, I’d die a happy woman. And I’ve had three new vanilla fragrances (well, two new and one recent) come across my desk that…
Emmie’s Glossier Haul – #MeccaXGlossier
After over ten years of waiting, Glossier has landed at Mecca. Last week, I gave y’all the run down. Today, it’s haul time! Now, before I got to the haul itself, I wanted to chat a little bit about the launch. The good and the bad of it all. First, the good. I was legitimately…
Emmie Swatches – Huda Beauty Blush Filter
A swatch party? On a Friday? Perish the thought! But yes, it has been a minute since I last did a swatch fest. And how about that, Huda Beauty has just launched her new Blush Filters that I absolutely had to get my hands on. So, I figured I would show you all the shades…

Y’all, it’s the day we have waited over a decade for. At long last, Glossier is now available in Australian and New Zealand Mecca stores!

Five Faves – 2024 So Far
As I mentioned in my most recent empties, we are now officially halfway through 2024. And as is tradition around these parts (and because everyone else is doing it), today I wanted to share the five makeup products that have been my standouts of the year so far. I feel like none of these should…
Emmie’s Empties – June 2024
And just like that, we are officially halfway through 2024 (no, seriously, look it up!) June was a quieter month for me. The craziness of the last four months has finally begun to slow down and I’m getting back into the groove of things. What hasn’t quieted down is my empties pile! Oh boy, she’s…
Emmie Chats – If I Lost All My… Fragrance Edition
One of my all time favourite posts that I’ve done on here was my ‘If I Lost All My Makeup’ post that I did a little over a year ago (you can check that out here). It was a fun thought experiment. And it is also a great time capsule of my tastes during that…
