David Jones deluxe sampler tote SS '15



 It is that time of the year when David Jones releases their bi-annual deluxe sampler tote which is available for $19.95 with any beauty purchase.

I have been getting them for few years as I got lots of nice product to try out of them and overall I think they are a great value (often valued over $100)






In my tote I had...

David Jones tinted day cream and daily face cream
My skin is very temperamental and can break out easily so these are going straight into donation, tinted cream has mineral oil in it so it is a big no-no for me personally.

St. Tropez bronzing mousse
Comes in a cute 50 ml bottle and is perfect to take with me on my next holiday. I also get way more applications out of the mousse formula compared to gel or cream.

Ecoya limited edition candle
This miniature candle has warm but clean and subtle scent, right up my alley! Bonus points for cute glass jar.

KORA Organics lip balm
I had good experience with Kora products so far but wouldn't pay full price for them. This lip balm is clear and almost scent-free so it will probably be my next lip-primer.

Burt's Bees cream cleanser
I prefer foaming cleansers to cream cleansers but will give it a shot as an eye make-up remover.

Molton Brown Gingerlily body wash
I like receiving miniature body washes in my packs as I often use them at the gym. Molton Brown body washes are very nice but once again there is no way I would pay full price for them.

Philosophy time is a bottle serum
This is supposed to be an anti-aging product but it also delivers other benefits as even skin tone and reduction of pore size. It comes in a very cute 2 ml pump bottle that is perfect for 1 to 2 weeks trip.

O.P.I nail lacquer in Pussy Galore
How could I walk past a nail polish called Pussy Galore?! I don't usually go for shimmery pink nails but this one dries to a matte "sand" finish that sort of reminds me of a sugar coat. It was fun to wear and looked nice on my nails but it started chipping just after one day.

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
