It’s about damn time! Welcome, one and all, to my 4th annual holiday gift guide. And yes, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m really cutting it close. Seeing as there is less than a week to go until the big day. Now, normally, I do two gift guides during the holiday season. A…
Emmie Reviews – Glossier Stretch Fluid Foundation
Back in October, cult favourite brand Glossier announced that after 10 long years, they would be finally shipping worldwide. This was a massive win for the beauty world. Glossier is widely beloved. But they were notoriously difficult to buy outside of the US/Canada. So, you bet your arse I placed an order immediately. I picked…
Bite Size Reviews – Part 4
It’s Bite Size Reviews time once again! As always, I have seen your requests. And I’ve picked out five products from my Shop My Stash series to talk about. Some of these were good, some of these were meh. And one of them was a gobsmacking disaster! Let’s get into it. KVD VEGAN BEAUTY GOOD…
Shop My Stash: Part 8 – December/January Edit
Happy Friday, y’all! We are back today to talk about makeup. You’re shocked, I know. But it is a new month. Which means it’s time to swap out the makeup stash drawer and add in some new goodies for me to test out. And this month’s edit is a bumper edit. We have some newbies,…
Emmie’s Beauty Life Black Friday Sydney Haul 2023
I’m back from my trip! I had an absolutely incredible time in Sydney (save the horrendous weather and the gross, snotty hitchhiker that came back with me). I saw the sights, I finally met one of my best friends, and I spent probably way more than I should have on makeup and other things that…
Emmie’s Empties – November 2023
Well then, November certainly dragged on a bit too long, didn’t it? In any case, it’s a new month and I have empties to chat about. I do want to point out that I also used up a Queen Screen from Ultra Violette. But I recycled that in exchange for a Fave Screen at a…
Five Faves – Spring 2023
Well folks, the end of the year is finally in sight. 2023 has been a slog and I can’t say that I’m sad to see it almost over. You know what does make me feel better though? Talking about my favourite products from the last three months. As is basically tradition, my Spring Faves is…
Emmie’s Picks – Sephora 20% Black Friday Sale November 2023
It’s the sale that I’ve been looking forward to all year. That’s right, the Sephora Black Friday sale is happening again. The sale had a bit of a head start last night online. But it starts in store today! Which is why you’re getting this a day early. It’s 15% off with no minimum spend…
My Makeup Bag – Sydney Edition
Well folks, we are officially one day out from my holiday. I am so excited, I could cry. Fun fact, outside of trips to Townsville to visit family, this is my first holiday since before I got engaged (Dennis proposed night one of our Brisbane trip back in 2019). So, it’s time to ask the…
Emmie Reviews – Benefit Fanfest Mascara
I hate Benefit mascaras. Shocking intro, I know. But long before Emmie’s Beauty Life was a glimmer in my eye, I have hated Benefit mascaras. They were either impossible to take off (They’re Real) had a wand that was reminiscent of a torture device (also They’re Real), irritating to my eyes (Roller Lash), or a…
