about me



It is lovely to e-meet you! I'm an online content creator and lover of beauty products, working in digital marketing in Melbourne, Australia.

Taken By Surprise was born while I was studying Journalism at university and it has since taken on a life of its own. It's taken me by surprise, if you will! From humble beginnings writing posts about my favourite Sportsgirl lipstick, to now creating content for brands, I am loving every second. 

When I'm not blogging, you can find me planning my next trip to Tokyo and running around on 1HP.

About Taken By Surprise

Taken By Surprise's goal is to help you try new things in your beauty routine - and by 'new', it can be as simple as learning what the heck strobing is, or how to get glowing skin at home, or even if that new product you have your eye on is worth it. 

If you love learning about makeup, want to try trends in a simplified and everyday-girl kind of way, or find a fix to a beauty dilemma, then you're in the right place. 

I'm so happy to have you here and I hope you find my advice easy to follow, relatable and full of tips from someone who's done all the practicing and testing for you.

Plus, if you leave me a comment with a post idea or request, I will do my best! Anything more specific? My inbox is always open for a chat!
