Mecca Cosmetica Haul

1. Mecca Cosmetica Soft Focus Primer (AU$40) - Still too early to tell but it hasn't broken me out yet which is good!

2. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder (AU$59) - Diffused Light - Filters and blurs my imperfections like no other! I am obsessively using this and Luminous Light every day!

3. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush (AU$46) - Luminous - Pretty glowy blush, I wasn't wowed by it but it's definitely something that I can see myself using day to day.

Berta Bridal Showcase 2015

I had the pleasure of working on these beautiful models for the Berta Bridal Showcase 2015 the past weekend and I completely fell in love with every single dress that the girls put on. I am OBSESSED with the cape dress!  

Berta Bridal is a company from Israel and all their lace and embroidery is done by hand, making these dresses different from any other bridal dresses I've seen. The makeup and hair was done under Creations By Kassy, so thank you for the opportunity Kassy!

Best Dupe for Bioderma: Byphasse Micellaire Water

Honestly the best dupe I have found for the Bioderma Micellaire Water. This is the Byphasse Micellaire Water and it is amazing! I actually find this is gentler on my skin than Bioderma because sometimes with Bioderma, even when I use the one for sensitive skin, it still stings a little and this literally just felt so good and my skin also didn't feel tight afterwards. 

The best part of this micellar water is that it is literally a fraction of the price. I got it from Chemist Warehouse for $4.99 for 500mL, now if that's not a bargain, I don't know what is! So, get on it ladies! Let me know what you all think if you can get your hands on it!

Hello World!

Long time no blogging! I have been super busy with work and just with life at the moment :) I did go on a holiday to Paris and I'll try and post up some photos soon just because I do have a few days off next week and I do want to get back into my blogging routine! I actually still have my list of things that I wanted to do for the blog which I haven't done, bad blogger, bad!

Hope everyone is doing well and having a good lead up to the holidays!

At Last!

Just to update you guys on the house situation, we found a beautiful rental that is pet friendly and we have just moved in! Still buying furniture at the moment so there won't be any home posts going up any time soon, although, normal posts will be going up very soon! I've been trying out an great makeup remover which is affordable but makes my skin feel amazing. If anyone wants to keep updated on what I'm doing, please feel free to follow me on Instagram @phoebelimanta just because that is the one medium I am always, ALWAYS, on :)

Here's a photo of Zeus though, look at how big he's getting!
