So..? Kiss me // FRAGRANCE REVIEW

So…? Kiss Me
eau de toilette

Today I am posting a mini review on an AFFORDABLE fragrance I've been enjoying recently.

This perfume is the perfect size for your handbag, at 30ml with a well sealed top you don't need to worry about any leakage!
The packaging is super cute and simple which I love for an everyday on-the-go fragrance. 

Soooo… The smell? The top notes of this fragrance are pineapple, blackcurrent and citron. The heart notes consist of Muguet and Freesia, and the base notes include musk and vanilla! 
To me the smells of the musk and vanilla really come through which I enjoy as I am a vanilla lover. 
Also available is a body fragrance & dry shampoo in the same line with the same scent!

This is available at priceline and online for a very affordable price! 

So...Follow them?

JAX COCO


Recently I have tried out a few items from a brand called "Jax Coco", if you haven't heard of it here is a bit of background information..
"The Jax Coco story began in Adisa after four coconut water enthusiasts- Jane, Jason, Alex and Max- noticed that while there were plenty of young coconuts (and even more coconut water lovers), there didn't seem to be any coconut water products packaged easily for consumption. In Asia, coconut water has traditionally been drunk straight from the nut. Envisioning a product that could make coconut water more prevalent in an industry filled with sugary sodas and artificial beverages, the found coconut water devotees, who all incidentally had the letters J, A or X in their names, formed the Jax team- a group with the intention to produce the freshest and best coconut water in Asia." - taken from the 'About Us' section on the Jax Coco website.
I personally have never found myself to be a huge fan of PURE coconut water and the taste just doesn't do it for me.. HOWEVER the Jax Coco drinks are combined with flavours such as Chocolate are a lot more appealing! 
I found the best way to drink these is to use them when creating a smoothing or juice in the morning, where instead of water you add in some coconut water. 

WHY JAX COCO?
Jax Coco is 100% natural coconut water extracted from premium young coconuts at their optimal stage of growth. The extracted coconut water undergoes a micro-filtering process to ensure its smooth taste and is subsequently flash-heated to preserve its nutritional value. 
With no fat, cholesterol or added sugar, and super refreshing! It contains only 70 calories per 330ml as well as being naturally isotonic with 5 essential electrolytes (potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium and phosphorous).

I have also been loving the Organic extra virgin centrifuged coconut oil which is premium and raw, as a  first step makeup remover. Its easy to use, and leaves the skin feeling extremely soft and glowing! 

WHERE CAN I GET MY HANDS ON JAX COCO?
If you are living in Victoria, Aus like myself there are plenty of little cafes that stock Jax Coco! If you are interested head to their website to find names and address' http://jaxcoco.com/hk/en/buy-jax-coco/store-finder.html

I hope you enjoyed reading about something a little different from my normal skincare and makeup!

Makeup Brush Heaven+GIVEAWAY.. Ft.Emmabelle Collection

Heaven is a place on earth with these brushes!
Introducing to you "the emmabelle collection", a makeup brush company made with the highest quality synthetic, antibacterial hair! 

I received the "4 Piece Luxury Face Set" which contains OBVIOUSLY 4 brushes, a powder brush, an angled brush, a bronzer brush and a foundation brush! 
The first thing I have to say about these brushes is that they're SO soft, which i love because using prickly brushes is one of the worst feelings. 
Normally I would use my sigma brushes but these brushes have taken the cake the last two weeks, I have been using them every morning and am loving the results. 
The Powder Brush is super soft and in my opinion the perfect size as a lot of other companies 'powder' brushes are so huge which isn't my cup of tea. On application there is no fall out of hairs as I've found with other brushes in the past, which is fantastic as well as applying the product evenly over the desired area!

The Foundation Brush is my favourite out of the four, its unusual shape intrigued me at first but once I tried it out I was immediately sold. It applies so evenly over the face and DOESNT leave the little lines that normal foundation brushes leave (you know what I mean). A complete winner in my eyes and I will most defiantly continue to use this in my daily routine. 

The Bronzer Brush again is a winner in my eyes. The feel is again extremely soft and applies the bronzer without looking 'muddy' or 'cakey', I think this is due to the pointed shape of the brush head. 

The Angled Brush which I am using for blush application is perfectly designed for the apples of the cheeks and easily glides up for a flawless application. 
At this stage Emmabelle collection sells this '4 piece luxury face set' on their website which retails for $89.95 but currently have a special introductory price of $49.95. They also have a new set coming soon which consists of 8 'Essential' brushes for only $24.95!
