They say we spend about a quarter of our day if not more, using screens. Unfortunately, in this day and age using screens has become pretty much unavoidable. I am constantly on my computer for work or uni and am always on my phone... This has led to problems with my sleep and my eyes. I don't have a glasses prescription, however, I do get eyestrain, sore and dry eyes almost everyday.  And anything I think might help my quality of sleep - I try. So I decided to give out Exyra's glasses a go. 
















I have come across articles about these types of glasses and their benefits but once I came across a study done by Columbia University Medical Centre that found people who wore protective amber tinted glasses got "greater duration, quality and soundness of sleep, and overall reduction in insomnia severity" I thought this was definitely worth a shot. 







Since using these glasses for a few weeks, I have definitely noticed a difference with my sore eyes. I have also found that it has become much easier to fall asleep at night! Which is a huge for me! Plus I love how they look :P 




Need more convincing here is more info behind Exyra's glasses and their benefits: 

Blue Light Filters absorb and reflect the high-energy blue light that can otherwise strain your eyes.

The Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain  in 001 Honey

This lip product is super moisturising and just lovely to wear. The colour is extremely natural, but just gives my lips a boost when I don't want anything too bright or hard to maintain. I was a huge fan of these balm stains when I first started my blog last year, and I have re-discovered them! One of my very first posts was an in-depth review of the balm stains so click the hyperlink to find out more about them :)





Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Polishes in 415 Instyle Coral and 260 Funtime Fushia



These polishes have been in my collection for years, and are still going strong. I love how the product is designed to suit consumer convenience, so they are perfect when your in a rush or cant be bothered to wait for your nail polish to dry. The polish is very high quality for the price as they are extremely opaque and glossy - I often do my nails and people ask if I got them done at a salon. Also, a warm hot pink and coral are the perfect go to colours! These should definitely go on your shopping list, because they are a holy grail for me.


Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara in Black Brown

This is a must have mascara for no make up natural looks because of the dark brown colour that perfectly matches my lashes! It provides volume, length and is never clumpy (it always separates my lashes perfectly). This mascara is definitely a classic, I actually love it so much I can never not have it in my collection, just in case I want to use it :P

Candles: Glasshouse (Montego Bay and Gardenia) and Ecoya (Vanilla Bean)

Although, I love these brands, in this post I'm just referring to candles in general :) I am late on the band wagon when it comes to candles. I was never a candle user and out of these 3 that I own 2 of them were presents. However, I've been using them a lot over the past month when I'm studying - I find that when hitting the books candles relax me and put me in the mood!


Sunbeam Blender

I did a post in September about how I have started juicing and included some of my fave recipes (link to it here: http://beautybalmer.blogspot.com.au/2014/09/diy-delicious-healthy-juices.html) The post was extremely well received and for that I am thankful :) because it is very different to general style of post. Anyways, I have used this blender most days and love how it operates! I really prefer this small serve blender as it is the perfect size for me and is super easy to clean and maintain! If your looking into getting something like this, I definitely recommend this product :)

Beauty Faves

1. Lola by Marc Jacobs

      I just love this perfume cause I can wear it day or night. It has a unique scent with that is florally   as well as spicy and sophisticated. I use about 3 sprays each wear - any less and it won't last on my skin well.







2. Benefits Gift Set - Groovy Kind of Love

     I brought this set at the boxing day sales in December and I just love how wearable all the items in the set are! I especially love the eye shadows - they are amazing. Definitely some of the best shadows I have ever used! They are also great as they can be worn lighter in the day with mascara and then to go out at night, I just add some more sparkle and eyeliner and its the perfect neutral smoky eye.




3. Revlon Lip Butters

     These babies are my life saver, I just grab them as I walk out the door - they also live in my handbag! I have a range of colours, some bright others natural but I love them all! I cannot recommend them enough! If you haven't got one, please get some I promise they'll be your new make up staple! They are very creamy and moisturising with a nice colour pay off (but depends which one you buy as some are more pigmented then others).
