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 Hollywood Hair Barbie, Ken and Teresa
I loved how creative they used to be :)
My friend had this one and it had cute lip gloss inside the heart on her chest :)

In 2000's Barbie became a Style Icon

Versus


Versace


Armani


Badgley Mischka




Givenchy


Burberry


Carolina Herrera


MAC Barbie


In who's honour they have created a stunning and very popular collection


and their Model of the Moment range

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
