One of the best finds in Sephora was this mascara set which had 9 trial-sized and 1 full size of their top selling mascaras (Urban Decay, YSL, Sephora, Lancome, Kat Von D, Boxom, Benefit, Josie Marant, Shashbox, Clinique plus Sephora eye make-up remover).It was around AUD$50 which is a good value for the amount of product you get. I love that it lets you try all these different products before splurging on the best one. I've only tried Benefit's They are real and didn't like it that much. My trip wouldn't be complete without EOS lip balms. I've tried strawberry one before and really liked it so I've collected all the flavours I could find - strawberry sorbet, honeysuckle honeydew, sweet mint, pomegranate raspberry, lemon drop and summer fruit.   ...and given that nail polishes are about 1/2 price of what we pay here made me come back with few of them. I got OPI in ski slope sweetie which is a sheer white polish with gold glassy shimmer and t...

 I haven't been to DFO for quite sometime. I've de-cluttered my shoe and clothes collection recently so I needed few replacements. 1. NINE WEST.. picked up these blue jelly thongs for $27.50 to replace... my orange ones from last year.  I loved my bee thongs but they deteriorated quickly. One of the stones fell out and they discoloured. So in the bin they went during de-clutter. I only had one other pair of things/sandals from Witchery so I needed another one badly for the beach and rainy weather. 2. COUNTRY ROAD I occasionally  find very good clothes at Country Road Outlet for the fraction of the original price (which I refuse to pay). On this shopping trip I found three items I fell in love with a) White Shift Dress...RRP $199.95, paid $34.50 (faulty - had make-up on it...but a good soak in Napisan should fix it) This dress looks better on me that it does on this picture. I imagine it being worn with turquoise necklace or nude...

I got Engaged! It happened coupe of months ago but I made the big announcement couple of days ago. I wanted to tell close family and friends personally first. Plus I thought it might be lots of fun to announce it on 1st of April and it was! My SO proposed to me with temporary shell ring when we were camping (it was very sweet). We decided to pick engagement ring together since it is something I am planning to wear for the rest of my life. We did our research for over 2 weeks and spent few days shopping. Naturally the rings I liked in stores were either way above our budget and/or way too overpriced. Few people recommended us an online wholesaler and we ended up buying the ring through them! I loved it the minute I saw it! It "spoke" to me :) So this is it (photo is from their web site, my diamond is smaller) I wanted something Art-Deco/Vintage inspired. I originally wanted a Cushion Cut but after doing a lot of research decided to go with Ideal Round Cut. This is me...

I must admit that I am one of those girls who wears make-up every day. I feel better when I look my best. I have been wearing make-up since I was 14 and I must say am I much better now then I used to be. Before I wouldn't even leave my house without my face on, now I go to the gym, supermarket and for my walks without make-up. I have combination skin and can get breakouts if I use wrong products. I start my routine by cleansing with acne controlling wash (ATM I am using Clinique) and moisturise with oil-free moisturiser. I think it is very important to use oil free moisturiser if you want you make-up to last longer as oil makes it slide off your face. Plus oil free products don't break me out. During summer I skip primer as I feel liken it is too much for my skin to handle. Right now I am using YSL matte finish foundation. It has light to moderate coverage but mattifies well. Them I use Estee Lauder Double Wear concealer under my eyes and any imperfections. I like tha...

Few weeks ago OzSale had Essie nail polishes on sale with free delivery. Naturally I couldn't resist and purchased two mini collections - Spring  and Fall 2011 I paid $20 for eight 5 ml nail polishes! Very happy with that! Essie nail polishes are gorgeous but they retail for $17-19! They are free of DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde, always have perfect formula and coverage, dry in no time and have beautiful shine. I am yet to try an Essie nail polish that I dislike. Fall mini collection has: - Very Structured , described as classic burnt sienna. It looks like rusty brown in a bottle but on my nails it dried darker. Looks more like milk chocolate to me :) - Lady Like , an elegant soft mauve. I love muted pinks, they IMO the most versatile shade of pink. - Carry on , deep romantic burgundy. Delicious shade of deep berry. - Power Clutch , a striking deep grey-green. Reminds me of Sew Psyched, it looks scary in a bottle but amazing on nails. I am wearing Very Structured on my na...
