    I've been trying to cut refined sugar out of my diet as much as possible lately, but the latest collection from Models Own certainly has made me feel tempted to go out and buy a stack of doughnuts. I love when a brand brings out a super fun and eye-catching collection, and there's no denying that the Models Own Cheat Day collection is certainly that. Clearly inspired by all things pink, sugary and damn delicious tasting, the range also has a stack of super cool and beautiful looking products.


    A perfectly beautiful and stunning range of highlighter shades. No matter what kind of colour sheen you prefer with your highlighter, this palette has you covered. The powders are super lightweight and offer a variety of shine depending on your preference. If you're wanting something a little more subtle, the lighter pink is your go-to. If you want people to be blinded and stopped in the street by your on-fleek highlighter, the other two will get the job done.

    The minute these came out of the packaging I could wait to whack them on my lips; I was instantly sucked in by the beautiful metallic colours. These are liquid lipsticks, so they dry down and won't be moving around on you throughout the night. They have an incredible colour payoff and the lightweight formula means your lips are left feeling super dry or like the product is going to flake off. Build up the intensity for a bolder look, or maybe add a little sheen to your favourite lip colour for just a little something extra.


    Now I get the point of this product; when the lid is on, the little circles look like rows of doughnuts - but does anyone else just think with the lid off they look like funny little nipples, I'm just saying. That aside, the product itself is actually awesome and the brand has brought to life a pretty cool concept. If you haven't yet mastered putting together complementary colours for a cool eyeshadow look, this palette does all the work for you. Each pan contains two shades that not only go together perfectly, but will create an eye-catching and high impact look. Of course that doesn't mean you can't get a little creative and mix whichever colours you like. Some of the mattes may need a little bit of build up to get a real stand out colour, but that allows for you to really control the intensity of your look.

    When I first heard Models Own was going to finally be available in Priceline I was so excited! If you just can't keep away from shiny, pretty beauty products like me (that are also great quality) than you have to check out Models Own if you haven't already. While you're browsing the shelves, make sure to check out some of the pieces from their latest Aquaproof Collection, which I have a few bits from to share with you today.


    All the shades in this collection are about being bright and adding a real pop of bold colour. I don't often tend to reach for shades like this, but that doesn't mean I can fault the formula, which I found does apply quite nicely and without to much fuss.

    When I saw the pointy end on these babies I had high hopes. While I have to say they are certainly easy to apply and gave a nice colour pay off, I'm not 100% sold on the formula and lasting power; I found my wing had started to fade off just after 20 minutes of wear. I've only had a go with the black one, though I was super excited to give the blue a go and I'm not ready to rule them out just yet until I give them a few more goes.

    This baby is where you really get the chance to appreciate the awesome packaging of this collection. While I'm usually all about minimalist looking packaging, I can't help but get excited over this amazing blue colour and that water droplet effect. The shadows in this palette have a cream consistency which is not something I'm use to working with; I'm more a powder type girl. That said, because I'm not quite sure how to work with these yet, I've struggled with creasing in my lid not long after application with these, but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm just not applying them properly. Apart from that they do have great pigmentation and I think the shade range is great, giving you some more neutral shades for a more casual look, as well as some more bold shades for you to potentially step out of your comfort zone with.


    This stuff claims to do it all; lengthen, curl and volumise. When it comes to curling, I always curl my eyelashes first with an eyelash curler, which I think is always going to give you a more dramatic and lasting curl than just using straight mascara. In terms of lengthening, I definitely agree with that claim. While I wouldn't say it's the most statement mascara I've ever used, there's no denying it does add some length to my lashes and make them look better than they would without it. Lastly, volumising - I don't think I can agree with their claim on this one. My lashes aren't the most luscious out there but they certainly aren't the thinnest either, and I don't think this does anything more dramatic than a bunch of other mascaras I have. While I certainly don't think this is a bad product in any way, it hasn't jumped to the top of my favourites list either.

    Semi Matte Lip Gloss
    I'm not really a big lip gloss fan, but the semi-matte claim had my intrigued. I'm not really sure what exactly would classify as semi-matte as I've never owned a product with such a title before, but I'm not entirely sure this is it. While I will say they certainly aren't as sticky as some other lipglosses I've tried in the past and they have great colour pigmentation, I don't think these guys are going to convert me to becoming a lip gloss user just yet. I think if you are a lip gloss fan though, and you're after something that has a strong colour payoff, definitely check these out.

    I love a versatile product, and that's exactly what this bronzer from Scout Cosmetics is. Throw it lightly on your cheeks for a subtle bronzed look, or pack it onto your eyes to give a more orange glow. The product is super easy to work with, blends easily and is highly pigmented.

    Despite the vibrant colour of the lipstick, this product actually goes on fairly sheer, though you can certainly continue to apply to build up some colour. I quite like the subtle touch of colour for a summer look. Paired with a glossy product, your lips still look like your lips, just a little bit better.
