From Marilyn Monroe to Madonna, red lipstick has been worn by women for years. And in April this year, scientists discovered wearing red lipstick really does make a woman feel more confident. Normally associated with warmth and positive energy, studies reveal red is a colour which excites our emotions; triggering...

As I've mentioned before, I'm a bit of a fragrance hoarder. And, my scent collection doesn't just stop at perfumes. Candles are considered equals. I have a gold West Elm tray which houses about ten of them — and that's just for the living room coffee table. Right now, however, I've...

Arizona Muse is as captivating as she is beautiful. Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of U.S Vogue once quoted: "When I look at Arizona, I see shadows of Linda Evangelista and Natalia Vodianova, but most of all I see her, a gorgeous, smart, grown-up. And how could anyone resist someone with that...

They don't call it beauty sleep for nothin'. Yeah, that's right. At night, when we sleep, our skin cells repair and regenerate. And, as the scientists at Estée Lauder are only too aware of this, they have developed a new skincare range which repairs the damage sparked by nasty daily...

Lanolips founder, Kirsten Carriol, started her career in beauty as a publicist. She spent over 10 years running her own beauty PR agency before having that 'lightbulb moment' in 2006. "After all my time in beauty using some of the best brands in the world, I realised there was nothing...

Still carrying around that dingy old makeup bag from years ago? If so, it's probably time for an upgrade. Attractive makeup bags can often be hard to come by. Some can look so boring that we keep them hidden behind bathroom doors. And, if yours is quite dated, it may...

Pink, like the walls on Collins Avenue; pastel, like the ones along Ocean Drive, Balmain's new fragrance Eau d’Ivoire is reminiscent of the ultimate Miami holiday. A perfume of pure designer luxury, this sparkling floral explodes with the vibrant energy of bergamot and sweet red currant. At the soul of...

Here I go lecturing you about beauty staples again. Do you use a primer? Do you? DO YOU??? As a beauty journalist, it still surprises me just how many women don't use a primer or don't realise what a primer is for. So to clear the air, I'd like to...

Lately, I've received a lot of emails asking how to get into magazines. At first, I was hesitant about writing a post on my career because, well, it's weird writing about yourself. However, the more I thought about it, I soon realised that as a student interested in making a...

As a beauty writer, I'm fortunate enough to see a lot of new, old and iconic beauty products land regularly on my desk. But, with the large amount of products launched onto the market each month, the journalist in me ensures I remain skeptical. Earlier this year, I was introduced...

Alice McCall and Ella Baché, that is. The Aussie fashion label has recently joined forces with skincare brand Ella Baché to design the perfect summer tote. "I am really excited to work with Ella Baché and especially on a collaborative tote bag, where you can chuck your swimmers or workout...

It's pouring rain in Sydney today so I started trawling for some brighter inspiration. When 'Pray for Surf', the latest campaign by Luv Aj came across my screen, it immediately had me thinking about body and skin (even though I can't really cope with the thought of being in a bikini...

Last night, Dion Lee presented his debut collection at New York Fashion Week. Lee seamlessly mixed winter silhouettes with summer fabrications and vice versa for a season-less compilation.

If you follow me on instagram, you'll know that I lost my shit over the Alexander Wang S/S 13-14 collection on the weekend. Fashion designers of late have been doing dances around the '90s decade and now, we're seeing the trend translate to tresses. Redken Global Styling Director, Guido Palau,...

Last month, when I was on a three week sojourn in Bali, I caught up with the incredibly beautiful Lindy Klim, who has recently launched skincare line, Milk & Co.
