Aloha, my fancy fillies! There will be a short break in posts as, I'm off to Hawaii for about two weeks to look for a certain surf instructor. I'll still be updating on Twitter and Instagram as @LatherRinseRpt (you can pry social media from my cold, well-moisturised hands), and I hear all the high functioning members of society like my Facebook page. I'm...

Tomorrow, the 21st of July, is my 25th birthday! Exciting, right? Right! And to celebrate this tremendous, global event, Lush is launching their new colour cosmetics range, Emotional Brilliance. (This may not be true. The birthday bit is, but I may be fibbing about Lush timing a new release to celebrate it. Their loss) Anyway, birthday schmirthday, the collection has the sweet theory...

Confession time! Never have I ever used lip liner. Not once. I consider lip liner to be the sole reserve of older church-going women who pair it with faded lip colour and copious pearl clutching. And our First Lady of Hot Messes, Pammy, of course. But (and there's always a but), I happened across a Sportsgirl sale which was dropping lip liners for...

Last time I got my Color Bug on, I had some smart arses Twitter users point out that it's a lot cheaper to achieve the same pop of colour with the chalking technique. "Michaela, you're wasting your money," you said. "It's much easier using chalk, so easy that even Lauren Conrad can do it," you said. You  lied! Not only did they cause...

You might have noticed that Toni&Guy have totally redone their at-home hair care line. I'd never tried the range myself, but had spent countless hours restocking those red bottles in my past life as a David Jones retail drone, in-between those loooooong hours walking between the OPI stand and Aesop counters. Total retail zombie. Anyway, through the new Hair Meet Wardrobe campaign, the...

In just over two weeks I'll be headed to Hawaii for a very much-needed holiday with the Boyfriend. He's under the impression our vacation will be a bit like this... Yeah, it's okay I guess. ...but I'm secretly planning something more resembling this. FUCK YEAH SEPHORA!!!! Sorry, Boyfriend! Naturally, I already have a long, long list of things I sell-my-extra-kidney want, but aren't...

Just a quick FYI that I've knocked out a guest post on Beautiful Makeup Search. Because it's US-based, I've picked my favourite warm weather multi-tasker to review, keeping in line with their summer temperatures.  For those expecting gifs, here's something from the saddest tv moment ever (aside from Buffy's 'The Body'). I hope you're happy! I'll waaaaaaaaait for yooooooooou! ...

Does anyone else's skin flip the frick out as soon as it changes from a cold autumn to a freezing winter? I'm plagued with scratchy knee, itchy shins, flaky elbows and the area between my thumb and pointer finger (my finger....web?) feels/looks like a flesh-coloured turkey wattle (which until I googled it just then, I had always called a gobble). I've been rotating...
