Benefit is in my top 5 of favourite makeup brands. I use many of their products and have never been disappointed. High Beam was on my wish list for ages and I was ecstatic when I finally got my hands on this bottle. This is the perfect highlighting product for your face. It’s a gorgeous girly, fairy floss, candy colour. The bottle is similar to a nail polish bottle and also has a brush applicator like a nail polish brush. The product is a runny liquid consistency but not so runny that it drips everywhere and is messy. The brush applicator makes for precision application, which is great for around the eye area. I use this for my under-brow arch area (to give my eyes a younger appearance and more wide awake look), my eye contour area (so my wrinkles look more diminished) and down onto my cheek bones (this thins my face and pronounces my cheek bones more). It just highlights perfectly and can make your entire face light-up. Great for when you’re feeling tired and worn out as it transforms your face to refreshed and re energised. I am quite pale and the High Beam gives a perfect subtle pink- hued shimmer.

Marriage Equality
On 18th April, 2013, New Zealand became the 13th country to legalise Marriage Equality....hooray!!! Although it is embarrassing that Australia is still lagging behind in this area, which I feel puts us to shame. It does make Australia appear a little backward in our thinking.
Thing is, this is not the way the majority of Australians feel. A Nielson Poll held in 2011-2012 shows that 64% of Australians support marriage equality, and a staggering 53% of Christians support the move.
In Australia today, civil unions (is a legally recognised union of gay couples that allows them many of the rights that go along with marriage; namely for federal entitlements) are legal and allows same sex couples to register their relationship with the Birth, Deaths and Marriages Office but does not give them the right to officially declare and celebrate their partnership...in my opinion, this is splitting hairs, a 'union' or a 'marriage' means the same thing to me.
The past few weeks I have been bombarded on Facebook with requests to sign petitions asking our politicians to bring this topic to a referendum. Naturally I've signed all of them and from the looks of all the 'likes' these petitions are receiving, there's a huge following and support for marriage equality. If only the politicians would listen to us! Aren't they in office on our behalf? Maybe it's about time they began listening and taking notice of what Australians have to say.
I don't believe that anyone has the right to play "God"! The nerve of these decision makers to dictate to the public whether they can or cannot marry, depending on who they love, fills me with anger. We all live, bleed and love. We are all human and we all need to learn tolerance and acceptance.
Wake up Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott, get with the times and grow up!
