Why Women Shouldn't be Compared in Everyday Life

Women are often compared, not just in the media but in life.
I hate preaching about all the hardships of women, as I believe everyone has hardships-despite your gender. (Of course, race is important too-always.)

Today, I just want to talk about women, and how we’re compared to other women. I’m not sure why, but the media portrays women to be these type of people who want to be better than every other women, rather than being better than their old selves.

The Kardashians are the most famous people in the world at the moment (probably), I do love them and follow them on their social media. It’s hard to see comments on Twitter and Instagram; however, when it comes to Facebook I constantly see people commenting ‘which Kardashian is better’.



Now here’s the thing, these girls are sisters. They love and support each other and should not be in competition with each other. There is no, ‘Kourtney is the best Kardashian!’ Let’s stop doing that.

I’m a huge fan of the YouTube show; Just Between Us, they address this issue in one of their episodes.


In it they discuss how they’re a comedy duo and how they’re sick of people comparing them. They’re a team! There’s no ‘Allison’s funnier!’, ‘Gaby’s hotter’. They just are. There’s no comparison as they are partners.

All in all, what I’m trying to say is that we need to destroy the barriers that say women are enemies, lets unite and be friends!

Last year I saw this tweet, and ever since then I think about it every time I meet a new women. I’m not perfect, far from it, but I believe if we bond together one day there won’t be any “cat fights”.


Some words to think about xx

Beauty Blender vs ChiChi Cosmetics Blending Sponge | 12 Days of Xmas

Hey guys! I’m sure you are all familiar with the iconic beauty blender. It’s a soft sponge that you dampen to blend makeup flawlessly.


I have a few variations of this sponge so I thought I’d do a little comparison of this one to a similar one, which is the ChiChi Cosmetics Blending Sponge.

Can you tell which half I used the Beauty Blender on?
Overall, they are both fantastic sponges and the ChiChi Cosmetics sponge is a great dupe for a minuscule of the cost. You can buy these online, or at Myer and Target. If you want to splurge on the Beauty Blender, you can get it here.



Have a great day! Xx

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder vs Maybelline Matte Maker

Hello!


Today I decided to finally write a comparison of two similar products: Rimmel Stay Matte Translucent Powder, and Maybelline Matte Maker Powder. I’ve wanted to do this post for a while, so if it sounds like something you would be interested in, please continue reading!


Packaging
As packaging goes, these products are both quite different. Rimmel Stay Matte is made from cheap feeling plastic, with lid that does not tighten or screw on. The front writing rubs off extremely easily, especially when placed in a makeup case.
Maybelline Matte Maker, although is still plastic, feels like a better quality. The lid screws on, which is continent as it doesn’t fall off.


Product
Now to important part, how these products pan out.
Rimmel Stay Matte I have bought in “translucent” this is handy as it matches any skintone. It has a nice “fresh” smell to it. It claims to last 5 hours on your face, which I agree with.
Maybelline Matte Maker I bought in Natural Beige, as I like to have my powder in a slightly darker colour. This smells kind of chemically, but not so much so that its overpowering, in fact, I don’t believe you can even smell it unless you put your nose right up to it to get a good whiff, like I just did.

Rimmel, Maybelline.













Price
Rimmel Stay Matte: $12:95 AUD RRP
Maybelline Matte Maker: $11:95 AUD RRP
This is not a significant difference, and you can usually find these powders cheaper anyway.


Overall
All in all, I love both these products. I believe they do the job, and do it well. I don’t prefer one to the other, in fact: I usually use either one depending on what I’m wanting that day. For example, if I feel I need a bit extra coverage, I will use the Matte Maker.

I would definitely recommend either (or both if you want) of these products.


Hope you have a great week/afternoon/whenever I next want to put up a post (oooh cheeky)!
