From Day to Night EOTD


I'm sorry the pictures are so bad, took these with iphone as it was a sudden random thing I decided. You will see in the pictures the color is bleh because of bad lighting and bad camera. This is the colors in the sun.

A little post-Christmas shopping



Just a little.

I had a little time to spare at the shopping centre today and Priceline had a sale on for some Maybelline cosmettics so I decided to try some things out. I got 3 things.

La Mer Watches


I discovered this brand of watches through a friend of mine who is a modern day fashionista. Following the latest trends, she combs through the fads and selects the trends that will last for a long time. The past year has seen the trend of friendship bracelets and Moroccan inspired bracelets come to the forefront of fashion and anything that adds to the chunkiness of the arm is a welcome trend. What we might wear this year, we might think is horrendous next year, that's why they're call fads but this style of watch is something that I think will last a long time and is definitely a different look in terms of accessorizing.

Sigma Make Me Cool Aqua Kit


Hey guys, another post for you all today talking about Sigma. I know I'm probably the last person to jump on board of the Sigma train but I was just never really interested until their Thanksgiving/Black Friday sale came along and it was free shipping worldwide. I decided to purchase it since it meant 12-13 dollars off my order and if any of you knew about the sale, you would know what I mean when I said it was impossible trying to get onto the website the WHOLE day. The site was flooded and it was only in the 2nd last hour that I decided to try again and got through the checkout page. Alas, 2 weeks later my order arrived on my doorstep in a neat little box and I bounded through the door jumping up and down in excitement. Click on to read more about my favorites and not so favorites.

Clarins HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase


Hello all, I hope you're all having a good day. As you may or may not know I live in Australia, more specifically Sydney and while it's supposed to be summer here, the weatherman up there has decided he doesn't like summer anymore and gave us Autumnal (Fall) rain for the past week or two. So since it isn't stinkingly hot yet my skin has stayed in its dehydrated stance and I've had to bring back out my winter skin saver, the Clarins HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase. Whoa that sure is a long name, but does it live up to its long name and deliver long lasting results? Click on to see.

You don't know Jacques!!!



I painted my nails for the first time in a long time after going off nail polish in order to revive my dying nails. It is rather dreary weather here so I decided to go for something similar. I chose OPI's 'You don't know Jacques!' which is from the France collection of 2008. A perfect taupe-y color, it is neutral enough yet somehow catches your eye and you just know it's 'You don't know Jacques!' It is now a permanent color and always one of my goto colors when I don't know what I want. Here is a picture for those of you who haven't seen it. Sorry for my ugly peeling skin, I've been having dry skin syndrome as the weather can't seem to make up its mind.

Rimmel London Lipstick Haul




I've been on the prowl to find the PERFECT red lipstick lately. I think it's because I watched too many Jen and Sarah videos on Youtube and they have an absolutely gorgeous collection of reds. Now I've always strayed far from reds because it is so easy to get a bit too lippy-happy and end up looking like a clown. So I never bothered. Why would I when there are so many other pretty colors out there? But I've discovered that it's an amazing color as it can really bring sexy to a look and when applied delicately can be the difference between an 'oh! you look pretty' make up look and a 'wow! you look great!' make up look. Hence my need to suddenly buy so many red lippies at once. Now ASOS recently had a 25% off sale on all Rimmel products and I took the chance to stock up on the lipsticks as it was a great price. Only 3 Pounds or 3 Pounds 50 which is a steal when you live in Australia and prices are usually $10 plus for a drugstore lipstick.

My Top Three Eyeliners



Many brands beauty world are always creating new products for us claiming that they've discovered a new method that works better than all the old ones or that this formula is the newer better version of their old one and sometimes their claims are true, but most often than not, these products just don't live up to their hype and so we revert back to our tried and true loved ones and continue on with our lives.

Today I am showing you three of my favorite brands of eyeliners, 2 gel and 1 liquid. They are MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack, Bobbi Brown Long-Wear in Black Ink and Koji Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner in Black. These are my HG eyeliners, I love them all in a different way and here is why.

First day of summer



It's the first day of summer and there's 90 days left. I cannot wait for it to get started. Summer has to be my favorite season of the year because Australian summers are just blissful. The start of the season begins with the flowers blooming, the grass turning greener, the sky being clearer and of course, the temperature becoming hotter. Although it is not necessarily a hot day, it is a perfect weather kind of day.
