Product Review | Westman Atelier

Kim Pham July 29, 2019

Inspired by Gucci Westman's plethora of experience in the beauty industry, Westman Atelier was born. Her inability to find clean, luxury beauty that is both pigment rich and effective became her driving point for this range. (we'll touch on this later). Years of tireless energy and product development experience from Lancome brought out this curated, exquisite range. The packaging itself had me sold.

Product Review | Kat Burki Vitamin C Intensive Face Cream

Kim February 28, 2019

Kat Burki is a nutritional scientist who firmly believes in nutritional ingredients that feed the skin and body. She believes that filler ingredients are unnecessary and has made it her mission to create formulas without them. She instead utilises ingredients that are rich in nutrients that benefit the skin and ensures that each ingredient (if natural) is cold pressed to guarantee efficacy.

Product Review | Rae Morris Invisible Mattifier Powder

Kim November 7, 2018

Rae Morris was one of the first makeup artists I've ever bought a book from. I'm still loyal to this day and absolutely adore her masterclasses, brushes and supporting her brand in general.

She's had extensive experience as a makeup artist and has been determined to learn more than just makeup. She embodies what I believe a true master is; learning about fundamentals and having extensive knowledge on the science of beauty and the power of makeup. I've been fortunate to meet her a couple of times and have seen this master work at her craft. Her signature look is undone, barely there, sculpted, fresh skin look.

Product Review | Hair by Sam Mcknight Pt. 2

Kim Pham September 19, 2018

Named 'modern' for his decision to create a hairspray that wasn't like the typical, boring hairsprays we see in the shops. He and his team have researched and trialled countless hairsprays for many years and found them to be extremely heavy, tacky, and shiny. We all know that hairspray that was like spraying glue on the hairs. It just wouldn't budge and would feel like plastic.

Kim September 7, 2018

This is no ordinary hair stylist from overseas, he is an icon in the fashion world. About as iconic as you can get. He flew in to Sydney and Melbourne to commemorate the launch of his easy-to-use styling products.

Advice | Remind Yourself of Your Goals
January 13, 2021

The start of the new year is always a challenge, especially for freelancing. You come off the high from the crazy working hours of the holiday period only to be met with the low season of the new year. Motivation is low as we enter back into the work year. Like many, I experienced this slump during the first few weeks of 2021.

Top 5 | Tinted Moisturisers
November 19, 2020

I've compiled a list of my top 5 tinted moisturisers for both myself and clients. 99% of the time, I'm living in a tinted moisturiser because of the ease and natural sheen it adds to my skin. The recent trend toward more natural looking makeup is a train I can definitely jump on board with. These products have been tried and tested. They provide the right amount of oomph and mojo for me to even write about them, that’s saying something.

Advice | Achieving Healthy Skin
October 28, 2020

Over the years, I've been able to nut out the fundamentals to achieving healthy skin. Skin that is in it's healthiest state is plump, hydrated, bouncy and glowy. This isn't a post on how to reverse time. It's not about anti-ageing techniques. I want you guys to have healthy skin that can be achieved at any age, any time.

Product Review | Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner
August 23, 2020

Korean skincare is no easy feat. The difference between Western vs. Eastern skincare is the cultural buying habits. Western skincare love ingredients and statistical claims, whereas Eastern beauty prefer the layering of multiple products, texture, and packaging. Ingredients have recently become a trend in the Asian market which is why you see more brands using key ingredients to market their products.

Advice | What Would You Do With $500?
April 30, 2019

When I earn money from a job, its so hard not to spend it all on products. Being in the beauty industry, you easily get sucked into new, shiny, products to stock in your kit. There are thousands of influencers and makeup artists who have holy grail items and you get tempted buying all of it in the hopes that your artistry will look the same. This was a downward spiral that I did NOT want to be stuck in. I wasn't saving money and my 'investment' back into my kit wasn't getting me the results I wanted.

I saw myself constantly gravitating toward these pencils and so I felt the need to review. Extremely blendable and versatile, the @makeupforever Pencils have now become a staple in my kit. I can’t wait for some fun colours to be released. Shades mentioned: ✨ Endless Cacao (greyish brown) ✨ Limitless Brown (warm, dark brown) ✨ Wherever Walnut (neutral rose) ✨ Anywhere Caffeine (warm spice brown)

A new favourite added to the collection. It literally combines all the scents I grew up with. It’s insanely fresh whilst enveloping you in a warm spicy cloud. I prefer scents that aren’t overpowering to my nose but still remain interesting (especially if you stand close by). @shiro_japan Spice of Life
