Personal Note
I'm a 23 year old blogger constantly writing about new obsessions and recounting my not-so-adventurous adventures in life.
I was born & raised in California and am from Australia. You can see photos of my life on Instagram (@alexandraartistic)
When I'm not doing Makeup I love to take photos of my life and all the beauty around me. I'm usually hanging out with my animal friends or sitting drawing in a coffee shop! So if you want to join me on my journey of life, sit back, relax & grab a cup of tea and check out all of my links!

My Makeup Bag
I love getting an inside look at the makeup and beauty products professional makeup artists turn to and use on a daily basis. Like any artist, they know what best works for them and what gives their clients a flawless complexion, stand-out eyes, the perfect pout, and ultimately what makes them feel beautiful. It’s also a great way for makeup lovers to learn about and try new products. I always recommend several brands to my clients but makeup is an personal thing so don't want to make over general statements like this is the best product ever because for some people it might be and for others the brand might be bad for sensitive skin not have your color of foundation etc. Now saying that I do have some personal favorites!
SKIN CARE
The Body Shop Raspberry Body Scrub & Butter, The Body Shop Mango Hand Cream & my Clarisonic Mia 2.

EYELINER
the Kat Von D Tattoo liner. Of course I had to try everything on this morning & I have to say, it just glides on. It's so much easier to apply than the Stila one but it's not as long-wearing. The Stila liner didn't budge once you put it on, but the Kat Von D one does rub off quite easily.

NAILS
Essie would most definitely have to be one of my favorite nail polish brands. They apply really smoothly but since I usually do 2 coats and im all set for the week! also like Revlon, Rimmel Salon Pro & Nails Inc. The Revlon Parfumerie smells like the cute names like my Red that was called china rose that smelled like roses!
