Congrats on getting to 18 K subscribers, I'm loving your makeup look as well. Just stunning 🥰🥰🥰🥰. I'm loving your makeup style as well, simple and flattering - just beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️. We do go in different make up trends, I use to use a natio clever stick on and off for years and my skin was fine with it, I can't use it anymore as it annoys my skin. I use to go OTT with my eye shadow looks but I don't do that anymore really I'm in my 40 ' s and I feel my eyes don't take eye shadow like they use to
Watching as I get ready to head to Sephora to do a nice haul for the last day of the sale! Love watching your “full face” and “get ready” videos while I’m doing my makeup!!
Just got to the book part- I’m on the last 300 pages of kingdom of ash and have loved the whole throne of glass series as well as acotar! Crescent city is next on the list!
Congratulations on all your success and 18k! I would IMMEDIATELY buy a Glaminatrix x Martina palette, we need that so bad!! ❤ Also I’ve recently gotten into the fantasy romance genre and Throne of Glass will change your life. It picks up after the first book and by the end it’s all you’ll think about. It’s less spicy than her other series but OMG
Aw thank you lovely! haha maybe one day! Who knows haha Ok I shall go back to the throne of glass series. I finished the first and then got a little bored in the second but ill keep pushing through xx
I was also a super dedicated to my career and built myself up to my dream job. Less than a year later I had my first son at 35 years old. I’m weeks away from having number three now (at age 40) and am a SAHM. What can I say, when I commit I commit. 😂 I have really bad adenomyosis and fibroids too and let me tell you what, it’s been a real relief not to have to deal as much with that garbage for the last few years! Life is a wild ride, enjoy it. ❤
Love love the look... I guessed the ND palette. Thank you for answering my questions. Congratulations on the 18k 🎉... I bought the chanel loose powder omg it is so good and I splurged and bought the submilage foundation it is really lovely on my desert dry skin.😊
OMG yay! I'm sooo happy you love it. It is the best powder!! The Sublimage foundation being so good on me really surprised, its so lovely. Thanks lovely xx
Hello there, Martina! I really enjoyed this video and I thank you so much for acknowledging and answering my questions. I appreciate and admire that. I love❤ your kitties, they are so pretty and cute. Girl, I am there with you on loving to read, being an introvert, having thin hair and experiencing hair loss, having endorsements , ADHD, and even migraines, so I can relate in all of those ways. I really look up to you on how well you do manage being a wife, a kitty mommy, working your full time job (sounds like it can be very stressful and demanding and full of responsibilities ), filming and editing your own videos, and try to maintain a little life of your own time to read or something. From what I see, you do a great job of managing it all, a lot better than most people would be able to handle. Be easy on yourself girl, because you are doing above and beyond. I am divorced, a dog mommy, and a nonactive xray tech because I am now disabled from an autoimmune disease that has caused me to become legally blind, and I know that I could not keep up with you and all that you do. I think it’s amazing. You are definitely a true “Legend”😉❤️ Looking forward to future videos! Luv ya girl!!!💕💕💕
I am glad you’re giving yourself some grace. Best of wishes while you work through your health challenges x You seem like such a lovely human being. I would love to have you over to my place to have coffee, chocolate and a makeup swatch party while we watch Lisa Eldridge videos!! I love and adore Lisa too. She is probably my biggest makeup inspirations.
Congrats on hitting 18k! Don't say no one wants to watch you, I love your channel from the UK! Most influencers seem to be from the US which dominates the market especially with makeup, but I personally like it when I see youtubers outside the US make it on youtube.
This was a fun video! My favorite makeup influencers… you, Andreea Ali, Morgan Turner, Sofia Sees Beauty, Makeup by Cheryl and of course, Lisa Eldridge 💕
Great to see a wonderful Aussie content creator flying the Aus flag! Would love the video on where to purchase makeup and potential overseas skincare that we either can't get or can't get until light years after the OS markets! from
Always love watching you, had a lovely afternoon chilling waiting for another possible storm (I assume you got the Brisbane storm last night where you live). I’ve never heard such a loud and close clap of thunder as last night and so much lightening too 😳🫣
Hi Martina! Congrats on hitting 18k subscribers and I wish you get much more in the future !🙂 I am happy I found an Aussie beauty TH-camr and also I am happy you started to review luxury makeup brands because they are the ones I am interested. I think it will be helpful to share the websites you get your makeup and skincare. I love Allies of Skin but you know Mecca doesn’t sell all their skincare products and for some reason we are not allowed to buy from the official website. I love cats and I have a ragdoll and a rescue cat. 😻 I hope you will show your cats from time to time for a few seconds. 😁 I didn’t buy anything from Holiday limited editions because nothing appealed to me. Maybe the spring collections will be more attractive. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Hi Martina! Congrats on hitting 18k! I’m glad I’m a member of your community where I virtually geek out with you on every new release. I asked this earlier, but havent received a reply. I have LE Vega, and I’m considering the Mario Moonlight palette, are they similar, or different enough to own? ^^ as always, your opinions matter alot to my purchase decisions! ^^
Oh I'm sorry I missed this lovely! Hmm honestly I think they are different enough, particularly widely different in formulas that you can have both. They do have similar themes though but they offer very different looks because of their formulas. I hope that helps! Thank you so much xx
I loved getting to know you better with these Q and A videos. I also am hopeful that eyeshadow palettes and glam eye looks return soon. I was hoping maybe they would come back in time for the holiday season, but Danessa was the only truly exciting release of that type. Indie brands have never stopped putting them out, though.
1st of all CONGRATULATIONS!!!! 🎉 Every milestone you hit gives me genuine joy for you; I've said it so many times but I just adore watching you succeed. 2nd "to be my friend you have to know I won't go to most things" something along those lines 😅... I died when I heard that; yesssss! My home is my peace. I'll always pick up where we left off but I'm not the busy girl I used to be. 3rd: thank you for the shout out! XO 🥰 4th these are some of my genuine favorite videos -- easy and comfortable. I watched this while I did my workout this morning and it just is the most relatable! Again, congratulations!!! ❤
You are such a queen, thank you Aura! Hahah I'm glad you understand that sentiment lol I'm just a home gal who likes to be in quiet most of the time but I will always drop everything if you ever need me. Of course, you know I love your channel! Thank you lovely xx
Congratulations on reaching 18k! Loved learning more about you - thanks for sharing ❤ I don't have endo, but I do have fibroids and can relate to the challenges. Not fun. We don't have kids, but I do know people who have had endo or fibroids who do. It's a personal choice, whether to try or not, so thanks for sharing your story.
Congrats on the 18k that’s awesome, you deserve it! Very hard worker, great worth ethic! I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was young! I think it turned into ADD for me! I think we figure out how to live life with it, which helps a lot! I’m also on a few meds, which helps a little bit more. But I live day by day just trying to be the best I can be.
This was so fun, and I enjoyed learning more about you as a semi-new sub. 😊 I love your make-up and eye looks SO much. I would love to see you explore Merit more. I am glad you said you had the blush bomb set. I got that, AND the lippie set. I ADORE their lip formula and have every shade in all formulas, LOL! YIKES!
awwww, congrats on your channel, we also love watching your videos OF COURSE, and wishing you even more subs in the future your make up is always flawless and beautiful🥰
Hi, Martina, i follow here, never commented. Loved this video, and admire so much how strong you are as a person, and you're video's are always so inspiring, thank you!!!❤
Girl, did you really say my name as one of your favorite TH-camrs to watch! I’m super honored! I’m was literally screaming! Thx you, so much! This made my night
Ah we're book twins! I agree with pretty much everything you've said( no non fiction ick, so sad when I have to leave a world). I recommend the Invisible Library series by Genieve Cogman, anything by Juliet Marillier, 6 Crimson Cranes- Elizabeth Lim, Robin McKinley is great too, Christine Feehan- paranormal romances and Mercedes Lackey! ❤
Loved the look and the Q& A! Thinking about your book preferences you would like the Deborah Harkness trilogy, A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, and The Book of Life.
Hello there, Martina! A thought just came to me, I know that you had mentioned that you like fictional books with a little romance, well, this collection does not contain any fairies or ‘fictional characters in that way’ but if you have not read any of them, I highly recommend the novels by Nicholas Sparks. He is one of my top pick authors, I LOVE ❤ his novels and have may faves, but at this current moment, (it could change in the next second, hahaha), my “tippity-top**” pick is “THE BEST OF ME”, I loved every minute of this book! I just wanted to share and possibly give you an idea of ‘maybe new to you’ reading material. Luv ya girl! 💕💕💕
Did we just become best friends?! Black dagger brotherhood by jr ward is my all time fav!! Have you read any Christine Feehan “dark” series (about thecarpathian vampires)? Also JD Robb in death series is really good, not paranormal (which is my fav genre too) but great writing and story line. IT Lucas, Kresley Cole and K.F Breene also have some of my favorite series especially if you like JR Ward🎉
As a fellow Aussie I love your sense of humour! To me that makes your make-up tutorials more unique. 😂 congrats on your success 🎉 ps endo sucks, sorry to hear that you also suffer.
Congratulations! We love you!! 😘
Just the most beautiful eye look 😍😍😍

Congradulations on hitting 18k. You work so hard , you deserve 18k and so much more 💖
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support 🥰
Ur amazing!!! I just adore u & love watching u 🥰
Martina you are a sheer delight to watch so thank you
Congratulations on all your success and 18k!

Aw thank you lovely! haha maybe one day! Who knows haha Ok I shall go back to the throne of glass series. I finished the first and then got a little bored in the second but ill keep pushing through xx
I love what you said about there being nuances to everything… it’s so true… we would all get along much better if everyone understood that
Cannot agree more! We seem to have lost the concept that two things can be true at once xx
I was also a super dedicated to my career and built myself up to my dream job. Less than a year later I had my first son at 35 years old.

I love how open you are about ADHD and how it impacts your life - the reading obsession, etc.
Love love the look... I guessed the ND palette. Thank you for answering my questions. Congratulations on the 18k 🎉... I bought the chanel loose powder omg it is so good and I splurged and bought the submilage foundation it is really lovely on my desert dry skin.😊

i only remember that i can mix concealers when i watch your videos
Love my Ozzie girl ❤
I completely agree with you on the kids part. I have no idea how people afford that nowadays, and also stay sane through it lol
Love the video!
Please do the updated top 3 in every category soon ❤ (pronounced Pa La May)
🎉🎉🎉
You need to watch Homeland if you're into the CIA, black ops stuff. It's so good. Claire Danes is amazing in it.
💜💜💖
