Merry Christmas, Sorry It's Late

Hi Everyone!

Woah! I haven't made a post in almost 3 months! That's bad. I've been really busy finishing school for the year and just being 'normal' again. Christmas has whizzed by on all of us this year yet again. Is it just me or does the anticipation sometimes feel more exciting than the actual day of Christmas?

Christmas was great for my family anyways, we went to the beach because it's never, ever cold in Australia at Christmas time. Camping around this time of year seems to always be a tradition in our family, ever since I can remember we have gone away for the holidays and I've always enjoyed it. The only bad thing about going to the beach for the holidays is the sand in your bed and the awful sunburn, ouch! As I am writing this post, I am red roar and very sore from the unforgiving sun. 

Life's a beach!

So, what did I get for Christmas? Well this year I was particularly spoilt by my parents and of course by Santa Claus. The best thing I got was my camera (thank the lord I've finally got one). I'm not saying I'm a photographer or anything but taking photos has always been hobby of mine and I don't need to be a photographer just to have a nice camera. 

Camera: Canon EOS 1100D

Now for the smaller presents. These presents included, bird shaped  and four leafed clover silver earrings, Real Techniques core collection brushes, Australis make-up finishing spritz, Revlon mascara and eyeshadow, Charlee blue purse, Our Moment One Direction Fragrance, Models Prefer Eyeshadow palette, Midnight Memories Album by One Direction, a 2014 Kikki-k Diary, and lots of clothes. 

Some of my presents I received from my whole family

I have been one spoilt cookie this Christmas! Seeing the look on peoples faces when they open up there present from you is one of my many favourite parts of Christmas. Bring on 2014!

Merry Christmas everyone! x

Mini Haul!

Hi Everyone!

Today, I went shopping and picked up a few things. Even though I originally planned to go Op-Shopping but some of the Thrift Shops were closed on a Saturday afternoon - what a bummer! So we went to a normal shopping centre instead. I looked around for a bit before deciding on anything to get but in the end like always I seem to get a few things.

So I purchased four things in total, some shorts, two pairs of shoes and a small bag. Three out of four things I got were mint coloured. Oops. I like mint way too much right now. If I could have everything mint I totally would. 

First I got a pair of mint coloured shorts that came with a creamy coloured belt. The shorts are a Herringbone style which I love the look of. I have chunky thighs and the shorts were mid thigh length and they weren't too short which is always a plus. They only cost $15 from Big W!

Second I spotted a cute pair of thongs with bows on the top of the straps. They are also mint coloured with mint trimming to keep the sole on the shoe. They were only $10 from Big W also.

The second pair of shoes I got are a casual slip on type, they kind of remind me of sailor shoes. These ones are not mint (oh my god!) they are pink and grey with a single shoelace on the top for decoration. These ones were $15 from Big W.

The final one and definitely my favourite purchase was a small bag that I fell in love with as soon as I laid my eyes on it. This one is a mint colour and is exactly what I was looking for (which I love when these things happen). It has a large strap that can be worn hanging on a shoulder. I love this style of bag the most because they are the easiest to carry around and they aren't too big. I got this one from Cosmetics Plus for $10.

And that's it! I hope you enjoyed this post!

Online Shopping

Hi Everyone!

I got a parcel in the mail a while ago (I got so excited it wasn't even funny) and when I opened it, I saw some recent purchases off of an online shopping site, Brands Exclusive. I love this website because they sell almost every thing and it's always on sale so I went online and I saw that the website was selling Revlon products  they were cheaper than they are in the shops. 

(Again, sorry the photos are still pretty crappy, I still don't have the best camera in the world)

I purchased a few products. I got a Brow Enhancer Pen it's a two in one tinted wax and highlighter for blonde/golden eyebrows because although I have brown hair my eyebrows are very fair so basically the lighter the better for me. The wax for on the actual eyebrows to give them some shape and some beauty also the highlighter is a golden shimmery colour that is supposed to sit just below the eyebrow on the brow bone, personally, I don't particularly like this look so I think I'll just stick with the tinted wax for the time being. 

The colour is in number 183 Lilac Pastelle

I got a nail polish (oh, how unlike me) and I've kept my eye on these kind of colours for a while now and I'm glad I got it, the colour is quite translucent and it needs a couple of coats to be a solid colour on your nails but when it's on it looks pretty an I think that it would look great on lots of skin tones. It's a very nice pastel purple with some pinkish undertones. 

The colour is in 006 Pink Sugar

And finally, the very first lipstick that I've brought for myself (how exciting). I originally wanted something nude but I with held as I couldn't really find anything that grabbed my attention. So I instead stuck to the extremely original version, pink lips. I like this so much when I saw it, I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this up and swatched it on my hand, I thought that it would be more of a pigmented colour but it has more of a lip gloss look but when it's on it does feel like a lipstick. There is a subtle golden shimmer in the colour, I didn't notice the shimmer on the lipstick but I like it a lot even though it was unexpected.

Well, that's it. I feel like I've rambled on a bit today but oh well. I haven't posted in a while, I'm sorry about that. I've had completely no motivation to do anything lately and the creative juices haven't exactly been flowing. So, therefore there has been no blog post.

Weekends, Weekends, Weekends!

Hi everyone!

Just a quick post today.

Usually weekends are unproductive in our house (well, for me anyways). So I think I'll share a cute picture of the baby of the house, Charlie after he'd been washed, brushed, dried and cuddled. 

He absolutely loves chewing on the stick thingy in his mouth after Dad doused it with Peanut Butter. It helped keeping his attention on something when you're trying to brush the knots out of him other wise he just runs away if he isn't satisfied with whatever you're doing.

Surely this weekend will be just as productive as the last one. Hopefully I'll get my room finished after clearing it out, getting a new desk and sorting out all my clothes into my cupboard instead of having Chester draws last weekend. We'll see how it goes, I really, really, really hope I can get it all finished. 

Thanks for reading,
