Earlier this week, this beauty stopped me mid-scroll on the 'gram. This makeup look (pictured left) was unveiled at the Workshop spring/summer 13/14 collection at New Zealand Fashion Week. Amber Dreadon, MAC Cosmetics Senior Makeup Artist, the artistic genius behind this seriously bold lip says, "The girl in the Workshop show is...

Over the weekend, I headed home to Terrigal, a tiny coastal town on the Central Coast of New South Wales. The sun was shining and that was all the excuse I needed to bare legs and arms. This flattering Maurie & Eve peach dress was just screaming for bronzed, metallic...

You only have to look to Christy Turlington and Helena Christensen to understand the beauty of the perfect nude lip. But, in truth, the perfect nude lip is never naked. To achieve a beautiful buff pout, you need a lip colour that balances your skin tone, essentially avoiding the too...

On Saturday, I attended Market HQ's debut show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival at Sydney's Town Hall. Before models hit the catwalk, I popped backstage to find out what the beauty looks were. Nigel Stanislaus, Makeup Director for Maybelline NY Australia created not one but three makeup looks for models and...

If you follow me on instagram, you'll know that Mathew and I recently returned from three blissful weeks in Bali. For me, this year has been one of immense change so this trip - and I know it sounds cliché - really was life changing. While I'll let the pictures...

When it comes to perfume, I'm what some might call persnickety. You see, I've never been one of those Chanel N°5 only kind of girls. Now, please allow me to point out that I think there's something wonderfully romantic about loyal fragrance fanatics. But the truth is I'm just too moody...

Sometimes the most simple beauty looks are the hardest to achieve. Take liquid lined eyes, for example. Sure, feline flicks look easy but for most us, at some point, we've ended up with black liquid liner too high on our eyelids or maybe even way up near our brows. We've...

If you follow me on Instagram, you might know that recently I was lucky enough to travel to Phuket, Thailand and stay at Cape Panwa Hotel. I had never been to Thailand before (unless 48 hours in Bangkok counts?!) so I didn't completely know what to expect. I had been told the...

In a bid to find The Perfect Grey Polish, I've put my talons to the test. These four fine shades - ideal for work and weekends - came out on top. Say hello to... Essie Nail Lacquer in Chinchilly ($18.95; adorebeauty.com.au) YSL La Laque in Gris Underground ($39; 1300 651 991...

As a beauty editor, I've tested my fair share of lipsticks. Red, in particular, has grown to become a firm favourite. But, when faced with never-ending beauty counters, finding the right red just for you can be a little bit daunting, yes? Put simply red lip colours are split into...

Right now, these three items are on high rotation in my Céline Trio Bag. YSL Y-Mail Zip Wallet, $650; cultstatus.com.au. I receive compliments whenever I pull this out. It's one of my most prized possessions. YSL Top Secrets Beauty Sleep, $99; 1300 651 991. Once a week, I pop a...

I'm sure you've heard about oils. You've probably tried leave-in argan oils like Moroccanoil. You may even be a fan of face oils, which when used as a night treatment can rehydrate the skin wonderfully. But what about oil shampoo? Seems odd to fight oil with oil, doesn't it? Well,...

After a two and a half year hiatus, I'm back! During my time as Beauty Editor at InStyle Magazine, I've interviewed people who have made me laugh, written stories that have made me cry and watched over 30 shiny, glossy issues go to print with that same fuzzy feeling I...
