January Beauty Inspiration: Drew Barrymore

Drew has been an inspiration of mine for as long as I can remember. I believe true beauty comes from within and Drew's bubbly personality is what makes her truly beautiful.

Having been in the industry since she was just six years old, it would be an understatement to say that Drew has had some experience in a make-up chair. From actor to producer to entrepreneur, this wonderful woman has recently launched her own cosmetic line Flower Beauty Makeup. Through her business, Drew offers quality cosmetics at very affordable prices.

Drew's philosophy? Happiness is the best makeup. She has a point. Ever noticed the most attractive girls are the ones who are always smiling or laughing? There's nothing uglier than a scowl, no matter how perfectly proportioned your face is or how perfect your skin & smile are. I'm definitely taking a leaf out of Drew's book to be more positive and happy. Be prepared to see loads of positive affirmations posted on this blog!

December Beauty Inspiration: Miranda Kerr

I don't know many women who haven't thought to themselves, "Gosh, I wish I looked like Miranda Kerr!" And who can blame us? The stunning model stemming from country New South Wales, Australia has had nothing short of an astonishing career, but still maintains the down to earth personality she is envied for. From becoming the first Aussie Victoria's Secret Angel to budding entrepreneur with her organic skin care brand Koraorganics, it makes me excitably wonder what she could possibly achieve next.

Miranda's top beauty tips:

• Stay hydrated. (This is the key to her beautiful, glowing skin.)
• Use organic skin care products. (She swears by her line, Koraorganics.)
• Meditate regularly. (So that's why she is so down to earth!)
• Maintain dental hygiene. (Yes, we can all have teeth that pearly white.)
• Use coconut oil to treat your hair. (Organic, check.)
• Drink Noni Juice daily. (What's a celeb without a juice obsession, am I right?)

Spring/Summer Hair Crush: Jessica Alba

Medium length with soft layers and ombre colouring - perfect summer hair. I know the world is going crazy over the pixie cut, but to be honest, I’m not a fan of it and unless you’re Beyonce herself, it’s kinda hard to pull off. This style suits most face shapes and is quite low maintenance. Less time in the bathroom and more time to enjoy the sunshine while it’s here!

November Beauty Inspiration: Lauren Conrad

Ever since the days of MTV’s launch of Laguna Beach, Ms Conrad has been a beauty inspiration of mine. She has a knack for enhancing her natural beauty, rather than masking it under a mountain of over-the-top makeup.

She is all for looking after herself and maintaining her lady-like poise and class; the mantra “beauty stems from within” definitely pops into mind.

For Lauren’s signature ‘natural’ look, stick to the makeup basics.

• Invest in a good primer and light foundation that matches your shade


• Only use powder as necessary.


• Apply mascara sparingly


• Keep any colours (blush & lip) neutral and complementary to your skin shade
