David Jones S/S '12 Deluxe Sampler Tote

David Jones released another Beauty Book Recently. I love browsing through them because quite often they have very good offers and GWP. It was very hard to resist fair few things but I ended up getting their Deluze Sampler Tote. I finished 10 products recently so I decided to reward myself (I'll do another project 10 pan soon).

 I got them in the past and thought they were excellent. They usually have a selection of full size and deluxe sample size product that they stock. They are always a great value for money and a good way to try various shower gels, hand creams and lip balms.

So this particular lot came in this very cute and summery canvas tote
 someone is always curious to see what I brought home :)
 it contained 8 items valued over $100
 1. David Jones Men's Hair & Body Shampoo 125 ml.
This product smells really nice (like good guys perfume). My other half will be more than happy to use it!
 2. Natio Body Butter 100 g (F/S)
This body butter smells amazing! The scent (Jasmine) reminds me of Thailand and brings lots of good memories. It is not very rich or oily like a lot of other body butters which is a big plus for me!
 3. Crabtree and Evelyn India Hicks Hand Cream 25 g.
I like C&E hand creams, they are moisturising, non-greasy and have nice scents. I go through hand creams like there is no tomorrow so this one already found a place in my desk drawer.
 4. David Jones Foundation Brush.
I actually prefer to use my fingers rather than brush because I believe it is more convenient and hygienic.
 5. Dermatologica Gentle Cream Exfoliator 22 ml.
I've heard a lot of good things about Dermatologica product but never tested them properly. This exfoliator is diffirent to the ones I am used to. This one doesn't have any abrasive beads and you suppose to apply a thin layer on your face and leave it for 10-15 min like a face mask. It is suitable for most skin types. I'm interested to see how effective it is.
 6. Grown Vitamin & Watermelon Lip Balm 6ml.
I love Grown products. Not only they are made from Organic ingredients they also don't contain and harsh or nasty chemicals that some people might be sensitive to. All Grown products that I've tried are very good quality and smell amazing. This lip balm is no exception. It has mild scent, no colour and very slight shine. It feels light but moisturising on my lips.
 7. OPI mini nail polish.
I think this one is from Texas Collection (Do you think I'm Tex-y). This deep fuchsia pink will look great on my toes
8. The Aromatherapy Co Sleep  pulse points Roll-on.
Contains a blend of essential oils that suppose to relax you and make you fall asleep. I'll keep this one in my bedside drawer.

Happy Birthday Barbie!

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

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
