Boxing Day sales Part 2!

Today I've decided to head to the city because my local shopping centre was way to crazy to browse properly.

There was no traffic and I got parking straight away. I parked on the outskirts and only took me 15 minutes to walk to the centre. It was so much more relaxed than my local.

I really like Swarovski jewellery but refuse to pay ridiculous amount of money for it. I found that Duty Free Swarovski is not that much cheaper than stores here. Therefore I tend to wait till sales, they normally have them around mid-year and after Christmas.

I have been admiring their Lunar range. I went to the main store on Queen St mall and saw a pair of Lunar Earrings but they got sold before I could get someone to help me (the store was extra busy). I headed to Myer centre (it was much better) and got this Lunar necklace for $95 reduced from $190.

At Myer Centre I also got this L'Occitane pack for $52 because I absolutely love Almond Tonic Body oil.

You get big 500 ml bottle of Almond shower oil, 75 ml Essential 5 oils shampoo and conditioner and small bath sugar cube all in clear bag (which I'll probably end up throwing out).

Then I went to Beads and Beads and got few strands of beads. I've got a necklace from deep green Malachite but want to remake it because the design doesn't do this beautiful stone any justice.




From Priceline I picked up L'Oreal Colour Riche lipstick in Taffeta for $10 and mineral powder for $15 (they had L'Oreal sale). I really like Taffeta lipstick, it is a pinkish nude with subtle shimmer. I love L'Oreal lipsticks, they are rich and creamy, come in flattering shades and don't dry my lips out. Plus they are quite affordable. A lot of people dislike the scent, but I like it


Today on my nails I'm wearing China Glaze Below Deck nail polish from Anchors Away collection. I find that this shade is very flattering against my NC25 skin tone. It is a welcome change from my bright red glittery manicure.

    That Swarovski necklace is very pretty! I didn't even attempt the lineup there on Boxing Day - will have a look when it has died down.

Buyers Beware - Fake OPI nail polish!

Image
Fake anything especially make-up makes me very angry! Yesterday I was browsing Ebay because I wanted to get some OPI nail polishes and came across few clearly fake ones. I got few OPIs from Ebay and never had an issue. Mine came from US sellers who charged US retail prices for their polishes. They sold lots and lots of them and seemed to specialize in nail products. Yesterday I came across few lots of "OPI" nail polishes. I saw fair dew lots from sellers who don't particularly specialize in nail products. They were "factory seconds" and were missing a label. The shades were very random and I never saw those shades in OPI collections. However I know that some counterfeit OPIs will have a lable with colour name on it. I was fortunate enough and never got a fake OPI nail polish . So I will show you what a REAL one looks like. 1. The front of the bottle Note the writing. There are some variations between old and new editions of OPI but the writing at t

I had my Tragus pierced today!

Image
It is something I wanted to do for few week now. I always liked the look of multiple earrings and even pierced a second hole in my ear when I was 11 (which then I took out and it eventually healed). Tragus piercing to me looked very appealing but painful. However after speaking to few people who had it done I realised it doesn't seem to be as bad. Today I summoned my courage and called Cosmetics Plus at Carindale. They told me to come in as Fridays are usually not very busy. I've applied plenty of EMLA numbing cream on the area 30 min before (however I was told it is best to apply it 45 to 60 min prior). The whole process took 10 minutes and set me back $35 including the earring.     The girl who did my piercing was very nice and friendly. She first marked the spot with a marker pen and asked if I was happy with the placement, I've decided that I wanted it a bit lower hence why you can see a bit of ink residue above the piercing. Then she disinfected the area and a

Happy Birthday Barbie!

Image
Barbie turned 53 today! She changed a lot in 53 years and I must say she got better with age In 1959 she looked like this: Beautiful, pale and stylish In 1960's Barbie was quite conservative and traditional as a Nurse and French Fashionista In 1970's iconic Malibu Barbie emerged. In my opinion she started the whole "Barbie" trend - tanned skin, blonde hair and long legs. She also came with a BF Ken and camper van Barbie industry was going strong in 80's. She appeared in vast range of outfist and collections From sweet Peaches n Cream To Over-The-Top Rocker Barbie and Holiday Barbies I grew up in 90's. I remember my best friend's sister brought this one home from Italy in 1991 It was in the former Soviet State and Barbies were very rare and highly prized so to me it was the most beautiful thing ever. Totally Hair Barbie and Teresa were very popular This add used to mesmerise me, it was played during Disney series as well as Hollyw
