Fast February

Hello little birds!

I don’t know about y’all but I blinked and February was GONE, plain GONE. We’re already in the last week. It’ll be March far sooner than I’d like it to be. I had so many plans for this blog for February but as we all know, life is what happens in the interim.
So without further ado, here’s an update on the things making my life easier (and prettier) during this rapidly disappearing month!


(pictured L-R; TopShop bikini top, Sportsgirl earrings, Sugar & Cotton ‘Unicorn’ make-up brushes, Neutrogena Hand Cream, Dr Dennis Hydration Booster, La Mer ‘The Renewal Oil’, Urban Decay Illuminated Trio, This Works Energy Boost, Too Faced Sweet Peach Creamy Oil Gloss, the Modern Renaissance Palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills, Samantha Wills Bohemian Bardot ring, Quay sunnies, Mecca Cosemetica Mineral Sunscreen, Byredo Bal D’Afrique EDP)


TopShop Frill Bikini Set

Years ago I bought a pair of Alannah Hill bikini bottoms on discount that were white and navy striped. High waisted, flattering, rouched at the front, perfect! Except… no matching top in my size. Oy.
So for the last few years I’ve mixed and matched different tops, never quite finding the right one. This summer, however, we’ve had a break through!
The perfect shade of blue to compliment the stripes, a flattering frill, and a top that holds the gals down. This top does come with a matching bottom, but as said, bottoms were well taken care of.

Sportsgirl Tassel Earrings

Rose gold, and opalescent stones, and little beads and aahhhh. I saw these earrings in store and I don’t even really remember picking them up, I just sort of walked out with them in a bag? Like the need to purchase them was so strong I forgot actually purchasing them? Anyway they have become my favourite go-to statement accessory, and earned themselves some mass Instagram love the first time I wore them. And of course rose gold – how could I not?

Sugar & Cotton Unicorn Brushes

Ooooh boy. If you saw my Instagram post a few weeks back you’ll know all about these dreamboats. Ethically made brushes from a new start up, crafted to look like unicorn horns, with part of the proceeds going towards US student literacy programs. What’s not to love?!
They’re so, so ridiculously soft and just so damn pretty I know I’ll love them forever.

Neutrogena Hand Cream

This $7.50 hand cream comes pharmacy recommended and it’s the only thing that takes care of my weird psoriasis-dermatitis-eczema thing on my hands (that are always dry anyway) that oddly comes up whenever I’m super stressed? Anyway this balm is a literal life saver. I’m talking my hands being so badly chapped and dried that they were cracking and bleeding – this is the only thing that helps them and does a proper job of it.

Dr Dennis Gross MD Hydration Boost

Ohmygod do I love this stuff. Ohmygod ohmygod. It can be used as a serum, mixed into moisturiser, mixed into make up, pressed on top of make up… Ah!
I use this as my serum and my skin loves it. Plump, juicy skin results and I don’t get that awful ‘tight’ feeling during the day, even if I’m wearing a full face of make up.

La Mer ‘The Renewal Oil’

This has been a long time coming, and by that I mean, I’ve saved my pretty pennies and used vouchers and waited until I absolutely could not live without this anymore. The Renewal Oil combines Miracle Broth with natural actives to revitalise and restore the skin. For me? It takes care of dry patches, evens my skin out, helps any blemishes to heal themselves up a little quicker, also aids in preventing blemishes from happening sometimes, and gives my skin that Chrissy Teigen glow which really, aside from everything she cooks and her #goals marriage and cute bubba, isn’t that what we all want? Hot tip from Clare at Mecca; sleep in a layer of this over Sunday Riley’s Good Genes (which I’ve raved about before) for the best, glowiest, freshest skin of yo’ life. It’s actually life changing skin care.

Urban Decay Illuminated Trio

I’m sorry to say this guy was limited edition, but I’m not sorry to say that I got it and I love it and and and just look at the swatches! Look at them! Look at the pigment! The shimmer! The glow! 


I love layering them one over the other for a multidimensional, unique glow look. I also love brushing the shade ‘Oasis’ over my shoulders and collarbones on a night out.

This Works Energy Breathe 

My best friend during stressful, thesis, I-can’t-do-this-anymore-and-I’ve-exceeded-my-daily-caffeine-limit friend, this guy has actually been helping me get to sleep on these particularly sticky, awful summer nights. Something about the aromatherapy benefits must really work with my system – my head feels clearer, my body unwinds, and I can feel myself relaxing as soon as this guy’s rolled over my pulse points. Is it a placebo affect? I honestly don’t care. To be able to fall asleep within 10-15 minutes of going to bed is amazing for me and my highly strung brain. So regardless of whether it’s “real” or not, it’s a winner for me.

Too Faced Sweet Peach Creamy Gloss Oils in Tickle Me Peach


You may have seen me sporting Stila’s Venezia on my Instagram posts because I love the coral-red shade – however matte lips aren’t always my best friend because my lips are almost always dry (like the rest of my skin). But I love that coral-red shade! Enter: new lips from Too Faced. Cream oil glosses that mildly stain the lip, provide hydration, smell like peach pie, and look really, really cute in Boomerangs. Check the swatch for colour pay-off – so bright! But still so buildable and creamy! Peachy perfect.

Anastasia Beverly Hills, the Modern Renaissance Palette
 Yup. I did it. The Insta famous, gorgeous, pigmented, heavenly palette is finally mine and as I’ve already said those pigments GOT ME SHOOK. 
Check the swatches.
YEAH. THOSE ARE REAL COLOURS. The Burnt Orange in particular is a new fave. Add the fact that I’ve studied Renaissance history and art quite a bit in my time, and this palette is well on its way to being one of my most coveted beauty possessions.
















Samantha Wills Bohemian Bardot Ring

Almost like red lipstick, but in jewellery form. Pretty much, no matter what I’m wearing or doing, if I put this ring on I suddenly feel a heck of a lot more sophisticated and cooler than I actually am. I adore Samantha Wills jewellery and I find the white stone works with pretty much everything in my wardrobe, whether it be boyfriend jeans and a tee, or a sun dress and Chucks.

QUAY Australia sunnies in Modern Love

These cat eye, matte black framed sunnies are not only my favourites, but they cover my whole eye area (I’m constantly getting burnt under my eyes which is the worst place to be burnt aside from the butt) and protect my eyes from sun strain. And they just look so gorgeous on! Gotta love being sun smart and chic.

Mecca Costmetica Mineral SPF 30

I’ve raved about this already but I need to go again because it’s seriously so lovely. No reactions, no break outs, and more importantly, no sunburn. I love this as a daily option, but also underneath my make up. My only tiny qualm is the pump doesn’t always want to be my friend, but even then it’s so easy to twist open! Yay for being sun smart!

Byredo Bal D’Afrique, EDP

This scent was inspired by Paris in the 1920’s at the beginning of the Modernist/jazz movement. Think the movie Midnight in Paris in parfum form. Personally I love it because it kinda smells like cake? Think heady summer evenings, buttery smooth vermouth and low jazz on a hot night, a haze of cigarette smoke in the air with the quiet French chatter in the background.

Links are in the titles because I figure if I love something maybe you’ll maybe like it a lot too. February was literally a blur, but these favourite things made it a fun, buttery-scented blur!
Until next time,

DECEMBER



Y’know how you watch someone do something you can’t, and aside from your first thought being HOLY SHITSNACKS THAT’S COOL, your next thought is, “Oh I wish I could do that”.

Well I get that every time I watch Natasha complete a make-up application.

So at the end of this year, after watching her (not in a creepy way, like, in an admirable/we work in the same space way) talents she asked if I wanted a make up shake up session and I said a wholehearted all capslocked YAS because I have zero chill (literally zero, ask Tash and all of my friends and family).

We picked a day and I went over to her studio/house and we ate pasta with bacon, and then got stuck into changing up the mug of mine.
Natasha created two looks for me; one that was signature Tash glow, and another heavier, smokier look.

I prepped my skin with Eve Lom Hydration Serum, followed by La Mer Soft Lotion.

From Natasha;
SIGNATURE LOOK


 

I’m all about glowy skin and have a less is more attitude towards coverage. To get flawless coverage that looked minimal I mixed 1 part Ellis Faas with 1 part Josie Maran Illuminator (half foundation half liquid gold TBH) applied with a Zoeva flat kabuki.

On areas that need more coverage such as the chin and under the eyes, I buffed concealer using a fluffy domed shadow brush – this allows you to  blend the edges seamlessly and make concealer almost undetectable, it just looks like skin.

The skin always looks fresher with cream and liquid products so I always like to work with cream colours first. Stila convertible colours are my fave because they keep their shine and don’t dry matte and for cream highlighter I can’t go past Copacobana (by Nars). Skin was set with Hourglass Diffused Light (on a fluffy brush applied very lightly), warmed up with Luminous Bronze Light and extra glowed with Mecca Enlightened.

My take;
I still can’t believe that Tash took products I already used and made me look completely different with them. Natasha also gave me a very soft, semi-natural, glowing bronze-based eye that I really loved. It wasn’t overly dramatic but it was a little more lined that I’d usually go for and I loved it. Thought we did have an almost hiccup – Tash forgot I’m allergic to Too Faced Chocolate Bar (I KNOW I’M SO UPSET) and almost came at me with it haha! Luckily we went for Too Faced Sweet Peach instead (palette returning soon, according to Snapchat!) which provided all the warm, rosy-bronze shades you see below. Natasha also used a Stila Smudge Stick along my waterline to create that super sexy, not-too-overdone look.

Natasha’s Take;
DRAMA EYE

 

Black smoky eye using MAC paint pot in Black Ground. It’s super pigmented and dries fast so use synthetic brushes – natural bristles just don’t cut it here. I applied this shadow all over the lid and pressed MAC Black Track shadow on top.

The trick to making a black smoky eye non-intimidating is to blend it out with brown, so I used a medium brown shade by Inglot and Too Faced Natural Matte (Sexpresso and Risqué – mostly under eye) on the border of the eye crease I used the orange shadow in that palette. Warm tones always soften it out and make it much more wearable. Use natural bristles here if possible!
Then I used a Stila Smudge Pot for the waterline and upper lash line – no flick, winged liner ruins smoky eyes and that’s when it becomes a glamour eye.

Amp up the skin with a deeper blush shade and add a bit of contour – Paloma by Nars here!

My take;
Not gonna lie, when Tash was getting her brush worked into the MAC black pot shadow I had a teeny tiny minor freak out because I’ve never ever ever EVER put black directly onto my own lid. Minor panic. Total faith in Natasha, but black is a tricky colour. And my version of a smoky eye almost always involves a wing (that was an interesting moment, I’ve never considered my make up style glam but whaddya know?). All of the layering, blending, dabbing, brushing, smoothing, buffing and smudging was incredible to experience. Natasha made it look easy as anything, never once faltering, even when my eyes pulled their “There’s-nothing-wrong-but-we’re-going-to-water-up-ANYWAY” trick. A favourite for every and any make-up artist I’ve ever had touching my face.

When she had finished I felt like a new woman. My eyes were a different shape, by far more sultry than anything I’d done before, and my wide, big eyes were actually a benefit here, because often smoky eyes lose half their effect when the eye is open. I was a bit chuffed to hear my big ol’ bug eyes were good for something.

Tash popped a Smashbox exclusive lip on me, Phil, a beautiful, perfect pinky-nude and that was beautiful too.

We did a bit of a photo shoot and I gotta tell ya that was probably the best bit. Tash told me to be serious and sexy and sultry and anyone who has a friend knows the minute you try pulling serious sexy faces this happens;



Ten minutes later we had some great shots and a cute Boomerang to boot.

WHAT I TOOK AWAY
I’m on the right track with Ellis Faas and Josie Maran. The way I apply my concealer has completely changed, and whilst I haven’t yet attempted the smoky eye on my own, I have tried the glowy bronze look and I found it easier to do after Natasha’s tips!

THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME FOR THE 12 DAYS OF BLOGMAS! Enjoy Christmas and New Year’s, little birds, and I’ll see you for more beauty-ful adventures in 2017.

AUGUST

Do you guys remember when I was all about mattes? Matte shadows, matte contour, matte base, matte lip (still loving those though) and matte everything, essentially?

Let’s all laugh together, shall we?

This year was the year I not only learnt how to strobe, but how to do it properly, and all the joys that come from having THE LIGHT OF APOLLO ON YO FACE.

Highlighters. All the highlighters. ALL OF THEM.

Liquid. Cream. Powder. Eyeshadow (hear me out) – you name it, if it gives the skin a glow, I’ve used it on my face. August saw me swapping my beloved Sheer Glow for the Nars Velvet Tint; a satin finish, medium-full coverage skin tint that made for the perfect base for all kinds of highlighting and glow. And it wasn’t something I restricted to a full-face kinda day – even study days saw me whipping out the Josie Maran Argan Oil Illuminiser, as the Argan oil base gave that bit more hydration and protection to my skin on long library days.

So here are my top fave highlighter/illuminators – for the time being, of course!

Josie Maran Enlightment Illunimiser – liquid crème with a rosy gold

NARS Illuminator in Copacobana, and Super Orgasm

NARS Dual Intensity Blush in Frenzy – used with a wet brush for a POP like you wouldn’t believe!

Hourglass Ambient Strobe Lighting Powder in Incandescent Strobe light – silvery pink that sits beautifully with a blush, and best used with a sponge

Too Faced Candlelight Glow – Rosy Glow

Stila Kitten Eye shadow Single – when used with an extremely light hand, this is the ULTIMATE glow-getter. I’m obsessed. And a multipurpose product that’s so so easy to travel with? SOLD!

Stay tuned to @beautybyasparrow on Instagram for swatches and daily looks with these bad, bedazzling boys!

JULY

Melbourne might’ve been cooling down, but my make-up bag was heating up come July. Urban Decay need no introduction – if you’re here, you like beauty, and if you like beauty and sometimes even glance at Instagram you’ll already know the brain child of Wende Zomnir (former beauty queen/current surfer chick/all-round badass) and its reputation for high pigment, high impact products that last all night long.

I’ll never forget ordering my own Naked palette – at that point it was the most luxe, most expensive palette I’d bought for myself, ever, and the packaging reflected that too. Who makes the perfect neutrals palette and then covers it in velvet?!? (Urban Decay do). And that brush that comes with it isn’t your average, let’s-tack-on-a-double-sponge-applicator-for-the-lol’s deal, it’s a full on, multitasking, synthetic fibre double-ended brush, that works amazingly well for all of my shadows, not just Urban Decay.


That said, holy heck, Urban Decay knows how to pull together a good eye shadow palette. Never mind the Naked range, the Electric palette, and the individual shadows give insane colour payout. My favourites? The Moondust shadows. Oh. My. God. So, so, incredibly beautiful and iridescent – I myself use Cosmic, a slightly translucent, silver-based glitter, but my next fave has to be Space Cowboy (because it makes me sing ‘Maurice!’ in my head) as it’s a champagne, rosy based shimmer that makes it look like your eyes have been gilded with rose gold. And who doesn’t want that?!





The Vice lipsticks are also insane. Mainly because there’s one hundred of them. (ONE HUNDRED. 100. WHAT COMPANY BRINGS OUT 100 LIPSTICKS AT ONCE?) Ranging from cream, to sheer, to matte, to comfort matte, literally any and every colour you can think of (from the perfect red to royal blue and a true purple) is available, with a matching lip liner. So ONE HUNDRED LIP LINERS as well. Oh my God. No, I haven’t bought all one hundred (despite the temptation), but I’ve given quite a few as gifts as they come in at $28AUD – which, for the amount of pigment and the texture, is a really good price. Everyone I’ve gifted a Vice lippy to has loved it immediately, and it makes for the perfect Insta selfie. That and Ruby Rose is a pretty cool chick (she was in Mecca Myer literally FIVE MINUTES before me! Just missed her!).
So if you’re feeling like trying something a little edgier, and wanting a cruelty free, predominantly vegan brand to boot, give into your inner Vice and check out Urban Decay this summer. Did I mention almost all the products are waterproof? Festivals and pool parties, here I come – with purple and gold eyeliner, of course.

FEBRUARY

ELLIS FAAS
Do you know this woman? You should. You really, really should. She is a make-up revolutionary badass who changed the way runway faces were done for all fashion eternity.




An expert in both special effects and beauty artistry, Ellis Faas created a make-up line designed to mimic the skin. Every colour in the range is a colour that naturally occurs in the body, aside from the metallic shadows and the neon lips (how cool would naturally neon lips be though?). Boundary pushing is the key theme, friends.
ELLIS FAAS IMAGE DECEMBER 2016
Think perfect, almost translucent, glowing skin as the base, with high couture, creative expression everywhere and anywhere. Eye colours as lip colours, and cheek tints, concealer as highlight and contour, literally  no rules and every rule completely broken. Think of the woman who was one of the first to use gold leaf on runway models, one of the muses of the great Karl, and an all-round badass who does beauty her way. Uncompromising, raw, beautiful.

 My pick? Eye Lights and the Skin Veil foundation. 

 Eye Lights re-create the effect of foiling on the lid, giving a metallic, iridescent finish to any look. Absolutely stunning on every skin tone, coming in green, silver, bronze-red, purple, silver-green – all of your goddess/ethereal dreams brought to life.

Now the Skin Veil foundation is exquisite; aside from her setting powders, every piece of make-up created by Ellis Faas is in liquid form, as she believes this is closest to us humans, being 70% water based. The foundation is liquid-crème, full coverage, and extremely hydrating. It leaves the skin with a natural glow, so it appears you’ve been running through a flowery meadow with fairies and woodland creatures. It’s lightweight but enough to cover up any scarring or discolouration in the skin, and it’s been one of my favourites all the yearlong. The mineral ingredients allow the foundation to become one, seamlessly, with the skin, and because it layers quickly and evenly it’s super ridiculously easy to build up your coverage. 



My top picks from the line-up: Skin Veil foundation S101, Hot Lips in L402 (the amount of compliments I get wearing this colour is insane and makes me feel like a Kardashian) and Eye Lights in E302, green-gold that makes it seem as though you have the gilded eyes of an ancient statue. Ah-mazing!
To the left (to the left) is Ellis L402 on yours truly headed to a soiree in March. Lip didn't budge the whole night through, even with double shots of Tequila and lemon. Somehow I think Ellis would approve....

THE 12 DAYS OF BLOGMAS

Hello little birds!

 A thousand, million, repeated, gross-sobbing, sincere apologies for being MIA this year. Turns out when you start a new job, and start writing a 15,000 word thesis, it gets a little impossible to do aallll the things you want to do. 

 So to make up for my shocking absence I've organised THE 12 DAYS OF BLOGMAS!
glitter
A blog a day, per month of 2016, with the best tips, things, lessons, fun facts and just cool beautyful things I've learnt this year, from January-December. Like a Calendar Girl! 

 Stay tuned for a-blog-a-day, and a Insta-post-a-day too, leading up to December 24. 

 FOR NOW, however, here's a few quick little updates;

 I'm now a full-on, unapologetic chocolate headed brunette, and if you've been here for a while you'll know that's a MASSIVE change after being a bubbly blonde for four-five years. Blonde was fun, but as we'll see tomorrow it comes with its own challenges and quirks. Being a brunette has been kinder to my hair, cheaper, and honestly just feels so much truer to my personality. 

 I work in beauty, specialising in skincare, and I am LOVING IT. Each day I work is literally living the dream. I've learnt so, so much this last year that I can't wait to share, and, bonus, I've made amazing amazing friends in the industry (like Natasha Ribeiro Artistry - go and follow her Instagram and be inspired! @natasha_ribeiro_makeup) and Centaine of glossco (glossco.com.au). Two amazing beauty babes to check out ASAP if you're serious about anything and everything beauty.

 Between livin' the dream and plain livin', I went back and completed my Honours year of study in Ancient Worlds (ancient civilisations, Greece and Rome, and Egypt and Mesopotamia) and experienced one of the most intense love/hate relationships between myself and the written word, in the form of my thesis. My brain baby/bane of my existence. Graduating this week and Imma need y'all to cross your fingers and hope I don't trip up, OR down the stage stairs.

 Aaaaaannd that is it! Please come back and visit these next twelve days, I promise I've put in the best beauty bits, lots of pictures, and as many puns as one human is allowed to get away with in a singular blog post.

A note: new adventures

Hello my little birds,

I know I've been a little MIA lately so I wanted to take a quick minute to explain what's been happening.

Around September I decided to make a job change, a pretty big one too. One that I never would have even considered if it weren't for this blog and its little legion of followers and supporters. I'm now working in the beauty and cosmetics industry and it's honestly one of the best things I've ever done.

I'm feeling happier and healthier, I'm pursuing a passion, and it's been amazing so far. I'm learning so, so much, that I can't wait to share with you all, and I'm finding my skills and confidence growing every day. This blog is still my baby and my happy place, and I'm going to try and keep it updated as much as I can going into 2016! 

(AH IT'S NEARLY 2016 HOW DID THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEN NO SERIOUSLY WHAT IS THIS)

So here are a few of the looks I've been sporting at work, my next few posts will be what I'm loving and how I follow the three-colour-rule (an eye, a cheek and a lip) day-to-day xx



Gotta love a good contour!

Until next time,

Cleaning My Make-Up Brushes: Lilo and Stitch

Tonight I cleaned my make-up brushes and I feel like the only way I can express this to all you little birds is through GIFs of Lilo and Stitch.


STARTING OFF
heck yeah! Cleaning my brushes!




FIRST BRUSH IN
washing out AAAAAALLLL of the make-up and seeing how much there is... ew


SECOND BRUSH IN
Aaaaand that's my lower back that's hurting 

ya' know, from bending over the sink and squeezing all the soap and goop from the bristles



HALF WAY!
Why did I start this? Why why why?

Internet/Fellow Beauty Bloggers/Experts/By the Book People:
"Because your dirty brushes gather bacteria and it's important you clean them!"
Me:


Parents walk past bathroom twenty minutes in and ask what you're doing... And you tell them... And they respond accordingly



When you're finally up to cleaning your shadow brushes and realise it's nearly finished

Finally being finished! And they're all clean and drying and done!



..... but you realise you have to do it all over again in 1-2 weeks' time...



And that's how I wash my make-up brushes!

Meet Kristyn!

EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND LOOK AT MY INCREDIBLE FRIEND.


Seriously how pretty is she?!!

If you don't have a friend like Kristyn in your life then I feel very sorry for you. This gorgeous girl and I met through work and we've been buds ever since, and aside from my lovely PT, she's my go-to for fitness and health. She's actually a sponsored athlete for Protein King, because that's how awesome this girl is!

So naturally, when you have an amazingly exquisite gal pal with all that fitness and health knowledge, you want to pick her brain, and luckily enough Kristyn let me do just that! I honestly believe that when you feel good on the inside, it'll show on the outside, and Kristyn is a beautiful example of that. 

Without further ado, here we GO!

Kristyn is bae <3



Sparrow: What is your pre-workout skin routine? (Make-up off, make-up on? Moisturizer or bare face?)
Kristyn: I generally go to the gym after my day has already ended so I just go with whatever make up I have left on. I’m not going to purposefully take it off but if I go early in the morning before I have work or uni, I’ll just put some tinted moisturizer on. I don’t want to scare people away!


S: What do you do post-workout, beauty and skin wise?
K: I take my make up off and wash my face as soon as I get home, especially if it’s been an incredibly sweaty session (ew, gross right?).

S: What’s the one beauty/skin trend that you hate most at the gym?K: Honestly, there’s nothing. I just let people be. If someone wants to get all fancied up for the gym, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it at all, it might make them feel more comfortable.
S: How do you think your awesome, super fit lifestyle has impacted your beauty and skin routines?
 K: My skin tends to look a bit more healthy and “glowy” if that’s even a word. Now that I’m a bit more self confident than I used to be, I love a good bright red lippy.
dat glow and red lip tho!

S: What’s your go-to make-up look for a night out?
K: Standard smokey eye (even though I’m terrible at it) and a bold lip.
(I heartily disagree, look at that gorgeous mug!)

S: What’s the one thing you wish people would stop doing at the gym?
K: Judging others! Nothing makes me more angry than seeing a group of guys or girls laughing or snickering about someone working out behind their back. 

S: I’m a rad beauty blogger who can name mascaras by packaging, but I’m almost clueless at the gym. What are the two things you’d recommend to the average girl/blogger? K: Number one, don’t be scared of lifting heavy weights and secondly, if you’re not sure how to do something – ASK! Too many people injure themselves trying to do something incorrectly!
S: What are your favourite three beauty products?
K: My MAC Rebel lippy, NARS Sheer Matte foundation and my Australis bronzer!
(a girl after my own heart, ALL THE LOVE to Australis!)

S: What are you three favourite fitness/gym products? K: Anything Nike. Literally anything. I want it all. Quest Protein bars are the bomb.com and my pre workout.
S: You have a big date tonight with your crush of three weeks. What’s one thing that always boosts your confidence before a big night out?
K: A good hair day! If my hair looks good, I feel good. My hair is scary thin so on the rare occasion that it actually does what I want, it makes me feel amazing.
 
Yeah like that!


And finally, this little sparrow HAD to ask:
Do you even lift bro?

To which the ever-lovely and brilliant Kristyn replied;
I like lifting dat pizza slice to my mouth.

Amen to that sister!



Much love and thanks to Kristyn for letting me bombard her with questions! Check out her articles and videos at http://www.proteinking.com.au
See more of her gorgeous face, fitness advice and fitspo on Instagram!

Until next time my little birds,
