Hi guys — this one is basically my December “weekly roundup”… except I haven’t done one in like a month, so it turned into a holiday special PR + empties + rotation catch-up. I start with the fun new stuff: the Kodak blind box I impulse-bought for a girls trip (and still haven’t opened because I swear I’ll film it), Merit’s stunning 1980 brow pomade packaging moment, and a really impressive K-beauty cushion from Parnell (I ended up shade 19N and it looks way fairer once it’s on). I also unbox a heap of skincare PR, including Bubble (now at Woolworths!), Derma Angel’s acne bits (I’m especially keen on the BHA cleansing pads for sweaty summer congestion), and Boring Without You goodies I’m splitting between me and my nan. Then I run through my empties (including a cleanser I loved, deodorant minis I’m obsessed with, and two mascaras I had to retire because they got clumpy), and I finish with what I’ve actually been wearing in my December rotation. I’m honest about what worked (and what didn’t) for Aussie summer — like glow drops that were a bit too oily right now — and I share what I’m pulling in next, including a powder foundation for oil control and more fresh, summery blush picks.
