My Beauty Secrets – Tips On How To Get Super Soft Skin

There is one compliment I get that really freaks me out sometimes. Actually, all the time. You see, sometimes when someone touches my skin, whether it be from shaking my hand, bumping up against me or just mid-makeout session, I am told I have really soft skin. This isn’t a new thing …. this is something that has been said to me for at least the last 15 years. Strange right?

At first I just thought that people were insane, like had they not felt skin before? Then I thought they were just being creepy or coming on to me. And finally I just thought that the people they were touching hadn’t heard of moisturiser ….. but then just a few days ago, it finally hit me why my skin is probably as soft as it is. So today I am going to spill the secrets and let you know how I keep my skin soooooo soft.

Bio Sculpture Vintage Africa and Jubilee Manicure For Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia (MBFWA) kicks off in Sydney on Monday, 30 April. In case you do realise today is already April 26, that means it is THIS Monday. Scary. It also means I am frantic in trying to get all my beauty and fashion life sorted ready for a jam packed week. The first priority on my list is my nails, and there is nothing better than a Bio Sculpture manicure to get me through a week of carrying a zillion things, fiddling with cameras and lenses, and of course texting and typing like no tomorrow.

IMG_7442

Cult Australian nail polish brand Picture Polish have just released 3 brand new nail polishes today as part of their new Opulence Collection. Picture Polish are famous for creating unique shades with quirky names, and if you ask any nail polish hoarder about them you are likely to spark an influx of gushing.

Today I am sharing my swatches of the new nail polish collection with you. As always, my swatches were done with no base coat and no top coat, with 2 medium coats (this is my swatching standard application so results can vary slightly depending on your own application). Swatches were taken outdoors in natural light to give you the truest reflection possible.

Now, let’s get into it!

Pevonia Botanica Body Line Dry Oil Body Moisturizer

Until recently I had never heard of the brand Pevonia Botanica, but since they have been all over Twitter lately it is hard to avoid them. Now that I have read more about them, I was keen to try some of their products and the first one on the chopping block for review is their Dry Oil Body Moisturizer.
