La Riche Direction in Midnight Blue

Feb 11 2012 I am getting married to a cute red head named Billy. Recently we decided to do something a little different for my 'Something blue' and dye part of my hair blue. Finally received my dye in the mail and am so relived that it is the colour we had been looking for! I love it to pieces and can not wait to show it off at the wedding!

EOS Lip Balm and Lee Stafford Salt Spray.

Was so excited when I got home to the EOS package! In less than a second the strawberry sorbet (pink) became my ultimate favourite lip balm! I am so so over joyed with these little guys. The strawberry smells amazing, although the passion fruit is a little odd, not bad or un-usable, just odd haha. They aren't greasy or shiny which I love because that means I don't have to take so much care when applying and I can moisturise that outer part of my lip that always get missed with glossy balm.These will be a definite repurchase when I am done.

The Lee Stafford Salt spray is something I still haven't figure out yet. The directions say at least 50 sprays then blow dry or leave naturally. I have quite short hair so I only do between 20-30 sprays and am still finding it is too much. So far I like to apply this to my hair at night after washing it as it straight after leave my hair looking, not greasy, but strange, like it is still wet and for some reason feels slightly sticky. after blow drying my hair and then sleeping on it, the next day it comes out perfect. Stiffer more textured hair after I style it for the day. Up do's seem to hold a lot better after doing this also. Great product but wouldn't hesitate to try something else if I was recommended something else.

My Day

 Yesterday I spent the day with my friend Katie. We went in to the city to buy her nieces some cute charms from the charm shop. We caught the train in to save on parking, and then walked to a fantastic little cafe I had never been to before called Manoush and shared wonderful Turkish bread pizza/wrap type things with falafel. On our journey I spotted this little store FULL of beach cruiser, which I have now told my fiancée about and am hoping to get one for my birthday if they are not too expensive. We wandered around the city and ended our day at the Botanic Gardens where this little duck circled us picking at the grass. Here's to many more adventures with her.

A Trip To Sportsgirl

Today I went shopping with my mum and sister and picked up some bargain make up supplies. I got this cute little bronze palette with compact mirror included, a nude shimmer eye shadow pencil (i have been dying to try one of these out for ageeees) and some blusher. The colours in the palette are all really natural, neutral colour which i use the most which was good, the best thing about it is it was a quarter of the original price. The nude eye shadow pencil goes on really smooth and looks great all over the lid, although it doesn't stay on as long as i would like on it's own and wear would be increased by dusting it with a setting powder or something similar. I am not too sure about the blusher though, I feel as if it doesn't give off enough colour and I have to rub my brush in it quite a few times before the colour starts to transfer on to my brush. Oh well, it was on special and quite cheap anyhow so wasn't expecting too much from it. Also got the cutest peter pan collared dress with a mustard bow, which I will upload photos of later, maybe in my first OOTD post. Stay tuned.

Revlon Photo Ready Foundation in Nude #004

This is my new favourite foundation as it matches my skin tone perfectly, so no more yucky orange lines for me, yay! It glides on really smoothly, even without primer and has a slight shimmer to it, which I love. I always apply a loose powder over my foundations to stop oily-ness and to 'matte it out' a bit, so this cuts out some of the shimmer. Photo Ready is also SPF 20 which is great, the last thing I want is a sun burnt face. Another thing I really love about this foundation is that it comes with a pump. The last foundation I had was in a glass pour bottle and has lead me vow to never buy foundation in a glass bottle with no pump again. It's a great everyday, light to medium coverage foundation and goes for around $37 in most places.
