Boxing Day!

I've been waiting for few things to go on sale therefore I went to my nearest shopping centre to hunt them down. It took me 30 minutes to find a car park and it was stressful. Sometimes I think Boxing Day brings out the worst in people.
That was my nearest shopping centre around lunch time. It doesn't look too bad, but trust me it was packed.


I got myself two pairs of earrings. I don't buy gold and silver jewellery very often and have very humble precious metal collection. My boyfriend even jokes that if someone broke into my place and tried stealing my jewellery they would probably feel sorry for me and leave $50 inside my jewellery box :) I'm just not into wearing lots of gold rings/chains/pendants etc. I prefer something either very simple and small or quirky. So I got one of each today.

Small gold studs with tiny diamonds

Silver and black CZ wings
I'm wearing China Glaze Dynasty over OPI Vodka and Caviar on my nails. Dynasty is a close cousin of Atlantis, however I like Atlantis way more.

Myer was super crazy today but Review service impressed me. The girl was very friendly and wasn't rushing me despite the chaos around us. I ended up getting black cropped jacket.

David Jones was still packed but not as much as Myer. They had MOR on sale (25% off)! I've been lemming Emporium Candied Vanilla Almond candle for at least 6 months but didn't want to pay $39.95 for it. I picked it up for $29.95

MOR describes it as: Candied Almonds blended with Sugar Blossom are decadently layered upon a base of smooth Vanilla to create this sweetly sophisticated fragrance
It smells as divine as it sounds

I also picked up this cute Marshmallow gift pack for my friend. I think she will love it :)

I finished my shopping adventure with Sushi and Sashimi pack from Sushi Sushi

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...
