Wishlist..what I got!

I was lucky enough to receive some Birthday cash this year which enabled me to get some things I really really wanted!

1. MIMCO Pioneer Wallet


My old Oroton wallet is 7 years old and while it still looks OK it doesn't have enough slots for plastic cards. These days almost every major retailer has some sort of royalty program. I find that it is nearly impossible to carry all those cards in one wallet therefore I've been throwing some membership cards out or refusing to join a membership program.
This wallet is huge and lets me carry all my frequently used cards as well as cash, coins and ID. Plus it is easy to open and had gorgeous timeless design.

2. Clarisonic Mia


I wanted one for so long! I've been using it for few days and so far I really like it. I'll write a review on it after about 10-14 days of use.

3. Stuart Weitzman Wedding Shoes

My friends swears that Stuart Weitzman heels are the most comfortable ever! I saw few pairs at David Jones but the range was very limited and they were still quite expensive ($300-600). I was extremely happy when I purchased these gorgeous "Stargazer" heels from US Ebay seller for $150 including shipping.

4. Witchery Aztec Pom Pom Scarf
It was first released in very popular Chartreuse (Lime) shade and was sold out in hours. Few weeks later they released these scarfs again adding Turquoise and Watermelon to the range. By then I was a bit over Lime as it is literally everywhere so I got this gorgeous scarf with blue pom poms instead. This is my first square scarf and I don't know how I managed without one! I goes well with so many things and can be worn in so many different ways.

I find that having a wishlist really helps to avoid impulse buys and makes me appreciate my purchases more. I really need to re-sort my wardrobe and get rid of all impulse buys that I've accumulated over the last couple of years.

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

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
