If you’re anything like me you would have already fallen in love with Georgia Alice. The New Zealand label who has taken the cool credentials of oversized dressing and elevated them with some very clever detailing and a definitive signature style. The labels MBFWA debut collection, a combination of easy silhouettes and fluid silk separates was one of my favourite presented at this years Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia.

Featuring exaggerated sleeve styles, luxe fabrications and ribbon-like sashes in a muted colour palette. Each look was perfectly teamed with a pair of roman-styled sandals. They weren’t an obvious choice but I have no doubt that every fashion lover is sure to be wearing these by summer. To purchase the current Georgia Alice collection click here.

Bobbi Brown Eye Opening Mascara

Bobbi Brown Eye Opening Mascara

Bobbi Brown Eye Opening Mascara

There’s no denying that a thick set of lashes can be your best accessory. But finding the right mascara can be like shopping for the perfect pair of black skinny jeans. Impossible. It took me years before I found my staple; the Bobbi Brown Everything Mascara. If you’ve ever used it before, you will know it ticks all the boxes and is perfect for everyday. So, when the new Bobbi Brown Eye Opening Mascara landed on my desk promising my most dramatic lashes yet, I was eager to try it…

Needless to say, it didn’t disappoint. From the first sweep you’ll notice your lashes are well coated and instantly lifted. The innovative large brush clings onto each and every lash, visibly pushing them upward when you apply it. The rich, carbon-black formula then works to intensely thicken, curl and lift lashes from root to tip for the ultimate eye opening effect and volume. A few quick coats is all you need for perfect lashes, which resist flaking and smudging for up to eight hours.

If you love Bobbi Brown products or you are looking for a new Mascara, I would recommend you try this asap! To purchase the new Bobbi Brown Eye Opening Mascara, visit the Bobbi Brown website here.
