Merry Christmas

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to wish you all a very merry Christmas ^_^

No matter what holiday it is you're celebrating today, I wish you, your friends and your family a wonderful day full of joy and happiness.

Have fun but stay safe and I will see you soon.

2012 Black Friday Haul - Sigma, Bubbi, Benefit & Juicy Couture

Hey guys,

Have you watched my latest video?

I was finally able to film my Black Friday haul because the last package arrived ^_^

I am terribly sorry for the bad lighting but blame it on my sister >_< because she said her new camera was good so I wanted to test it but I think my Canon is better hehe

I hope you guys enjoy this and I should be filming again this weekend. Possibly a review on Too Faced products.

Goodnight!

Mega Shopping Spree

Hello ^_^

I have been on a mega shopping spree since the Black Friday sales started!

At the moment, I've got 7 packages on their way to me and this is on top of packages that have already arrived.

Tis definitely the season for discounts too hard to resist and finding major bargains...agree?

So I'm going to show you some of the stuff I've bought but I will be uploading a Black Friday Haul video but I'm still waiting for my Sigma purchase to arrive.

Guess who bought a house?!

Hi guys!

After 8 months of searching for a house and using all day on Sundays to view houses, it is finally all over! It has been a very tiring journey but finally I can enjoy the perks of owning your own home and that is furniture shopping, decorating it how you like, dinner parties and Sunday sessions with friends ^_^

So our house is a brand new 2 storey house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The bottom floor has 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and the laundry room. The second floor has the living/dining room, kitchen, master bedroom, bathroom and balcony.

Yeah for some reason the living/dining and kitchen is on the top level which I find really weird and we have to somehow find a way to get the furniture upstairs >_<

Anyway on Sunday, we went back to the house to give you guys a tour which you can watch here:

Sigma's Black Friday Event

Hey all

Just wanted to let you guys know that Sigma is offering FREE worldwide shipping on their Black Friday event. See the info below:

I love using my Sigma brushes and I definitely recommend them to anyone who wants professional quality brushes.

Here are the ones I have:

Mrs Bunny Essential Kit

Synthetic Kabuki Kit

Happy shopping ^_^

OOTN - Floral skirt and a touch of purple

Hey!

Apologies for being lazy and not written anything for almost a month >_<

Here's a very very belated outfit of the night (OOTN) post...hope you like!

This was an outfit that I wore on a triple couple dinner date and I wanted to wear something floral but still fitting for a dinner date so I opted for a black skirt with floral details. Since I wanted the focus and attention to be on the skirt, I wore a plain black top so that it wouldn't take the attention away from the skirt. For accessories, I chose a rose gold link necklace braided with purple and to match, purple velvet platform pumps.

I should be filming this weekend...fingers crossed ^_^

{New Video} September favourites + mini haul

Hellllooooooo ^_^

Have you watched my most recent video?

In this video, I'm showing some products which have been used very often throughout the month of September and at the end, I've also shown some items I bought recently because I don't know if I'm going to do a monthly haul video for October.

Thanks for watching!

OOTD - Mints & Pinks

Hey guys,

Just another outfit of the day post for you guys but this time, I'm playing with brighter pastel colours.

When I was looking at the mint green top and the coral pink jeans, I was thinking that maybe the colours were too bright and it wouldn't go together but I think it worked out pretty good.

My boyfriend wouldn't take the pictures for me unless I stood in front of his bright yellow car because it's a bright colour as well and matches my outfit =_="

TheFaceShop VIP Event

Hey ^_^

So last Thursday, my sister and I went to TheFaceShop's VIP event and we really enjoyed ourselves.
First we were given a demonstration of some of the products and how to use them and what they were good for etc. Then we were all split into 3 groups - nails, eyes and foundation. My sister and I started off at the nail station and were shown the nail colours that TheFaceShop had and 2 volunteers had their nails done by the staff which was really nice. We then moved on to the eyes section and were shown the eyeliners, mascaras and falsh lashes that we could buy and again, a volunteer had her eye makeup done. We didn't have time to go to the foundation section because we ran out of time and the shopping centre was closing but overall we had a really good time.

When we left, everyone was given a goodie bag:

Goodie bag

So the goodie bag has a makeup pouch, a scarf, nail polish, mascara, samples, cotton tips, $10 gift voucher and chocolates! I'm not fond of cherry ripes but i'm definitely a Crunchie girl ^_^

Blazer, Lace & Nude OOTD

Hi ^_^

Got an outfit of the day post for you today and I wore this on the weekend so hope you like it!

I was getting ready to go out for a lunch/catch up date with a girlfriend and wanted to wear something
comfortable but chic at the same time. So I opted for a lacey top with a blazer and paired them with a beige pair of jeans.

Bargain Shoe Haul

Hiiiii

A new video is up!!! This time, I'm showing you 7 pairs of shoes I bought recently at a bargain. Enjoy ^_^

WARNING - LOTS OF PICS!

Gucci's Australian Digital Flagship Store

Hey!

www.gucci.com.au

I am SO excited that Gucci has finally launched their Australian online store! As soon as I saw their email, I jumped straight onto the site.

I use to go on the US Gucci website and see web exclusives that I couldn't order because they didn't ship to Australia so here are some of the reasons why I'm loving the Australian online store:

• prices are in AUD
• free shipping on all purchases
• prices are comparable to US prices (only a tad more expensive here)
• browse and compare all that's available before going into the store to buy
• window shop from the comfort of your home

So what have I got my eyes on? Just three things...

OOTD - Leopard Print

Hello,

I've got a Lookbook post for you today ^_^

You can easily recreate this look with any sheer top, a singlet and leggings. Pair your outfit with wedges like me or stilettos but ballet flats work just as well.

What's in my bag TAG

Hey ^_^

Have you seen my latest video? It's the What's in my bag TAG. I wouldn't have done the video if it wasn't requested because I think my bag is actually quite boring >_<

I'm a really neat person when it comes to my bag so there is almost never any junk in there which kinda makes it really uninteresting.

I actually recorded a holiday version of the tag when I was in Melbourne but the clip's gone missing and I can't find it :( I really wanted to compare the two because what I have in my bag on holidays is different to what's normally in my bag back at home. I guess I can always do an updated tag next time I go on holidays right?

Anyway, here it is if you haven't watched it:

Hope that wasn't too boring and goodnight, sleep tight ^_^

Another Benefit order

Hey,

Yes yes I know...I'm sorry I've neglected my blog a tiny tiny bit >_< I promise that once I've bought my house and settled down, I'll have a lot more time to spend on my blog and Youtube channel.

You guys know that one of my staple items is the Benefit Porefessional right? So it should come as no surprise that in this Benefit order, I've restocked on the Porefessional because I've almost run out.

This is what I got:

Benefit products

Skincare Goodie Bag

Hi,

This post is about a week overdue but better late than never right?

I shop at Priceline ALL the time! It's the place where I buy all my skincare and make up products. An incentive for me to shop there is that I have a Priceline card which collects points for every dollar I spend and every quarter, if I've spent enough (I always spend enough) I'll get a voucher to use in store.

My BF actually complains about the amount of times I go to Priceline. I drop in maybe a couple of times a fortnight but he thinks I go everyday! But we know all boys exaggerate hehe.

There's a promo on at the moment where if you spend $50 or more on skincare products from participating brands, you'll receive this goodie bag:

Biore Beauty Panel WINNER!!!

Hey ^_^

Just a quick post/update before I head out to dinner.

If you follow me on Facebook, you’ll know that I am one of the winners of the Biore Australia Beauty Panel competition!!!!!

(Biore is pronounced “Bee-or-ray”, for ages I pronounced it as “Bi-or” >_<)

I entered the competition earlier this year and I totally forgot about it until a couple of weeks ago when I received an email saying that I, along with 7 other people won the competition to be on the Biore Beauty Panel!

The first sentence of the email was something along the lines of “there were a lot of entries and it was really hard to choose the winners…etc” and as soon as I read that, I was like “:( I didn’t win again”… Thank goodness I kept reading the email otherwise I’d have missed out.

Long time favourite beauty products ft Laneige, Shiseido, Benefit, Revlon, Maybelline & Olay

Hey all,

I just finished editing a new video and it's being uploaded to Youtube as I type. I decided to do a video of my all time favourite beauty products and these products have been used by me for a very long time so I can definitely say that they work and I recommend them to anyone who asks :)

If you prefer to watch, check out the video here:

So here are my current long time favourite products...

OOTN - Lace & Stripes

Hello ^_^

I have another outfit of the night post for you and I hope you guys like it.

I absolutely love lace and stripes. I have a lot of pieces in my wardrobe which are lace or stripes. I just think that lace is really chic and pretty to wear and stripes for me is more laid back for a lazy Sunday but when you combine the two, it goes really well together.

OOTN - Blazer, Shorts & Booties

Hello,

I wore this outfit on Saturday night & I really liked it. I was playing around with ideas in my head because it's Winter now and I seriously don't know how girls manage to go out at night in a short dress when it's freezing cold! I knew I wanted to be warm so threw this together which turned out really great ^_^

Going from Day to Night in Forever New

Hi ^_^

I have an outfit of the day (OOTD) and an outfit of the night (OOTN) post for you today.

Usually on the weekends, I'm hanging out with my bf and if we have to go out for dinner or meet up with friends, I really can't be bothered bringing a whole change of clothes with me sometimes so I love being able to use one item of clothing and creating a day and a night look.

I've been super obsessed with Forever New lately so most of the items are bought from there.

Jewellery Haul + Storage

Hey!

So recently I've just been really into jewellery especially gold toned ones. I don't know where this sudden obsession with jewellery came from considering I usually don't wear a lot of jewellery and don't often buy them either so I dunno.

I had my jewellery in all different kinds of boxes etc and they were taking up space on my shelves and in my room so I wanted something big enough to store them all in. Coincidentally, I went to the shops on the weekend and I saw this gorgeous and pretty jewellery table/cabinet.

I love this kind of furniture and I also bought it in preparation for my new house...when I finally find a house >.<

April 2012 ilovethisbox

Hey everyone,

My eyelids are so heavy right now and I just want to sleep but I am determined to finish this post because it's already delayed. Sorry!

So anyway, I received my April ilovethisbox box 2 days ago and I've been meaning to write a post on what I got this month but haven't really had time but here it is now.

As April was Easter time, there were "Golden Eggs" in 10 ilovethisboxes and one of them was mine!!!! For every Egg found, ilovethisbox will unleash a great discount on their online store so after I finish this post, I'll post a picture on their Facebook wall so that they can unleash the discount ^_^

Ok so let's see what I got in the box this month:

It's time to Instagram

Hellooooooo,

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy perfume

Do you use Instagram? I only found out about Instagram not long ago and it's been catapulted to fame in such a short period of time since it's launch. But I suppose that that's the same with any social media platform. It only takes one person to start using it and then their friends see it and start using it too and so on and so forth and before you know it, the world is using it.

How to put on False Eyelashes in under 2 minutes

Hey pumpkins

Have you seen my latest video? In this video, I show you how I put on false eyelashes in under 2 minutes!

I use to hate wearing false eyelashes because I struggled so much with putting them on and getting them to stay stuck to my eyelid. I really only started frequently wearing falsies this year after that disaster with the eyelash extensions >.<

Putting on falsies takes time and practice and eventually you'll become a pro at it but in the meantime, watch my video to see how I do it ^_^

Winter Love

Hey guys,

I love the cold seasons!!! I prefer to be all snuggled up in warm clothes with a cup of San Churros classic spanish hot chocolate to keep me nice and warm. Don't get me wrong, I still like spring and summer but Perth has been way too hot this year for my liking so I'm glad that autumn is now here with winter coming soon even though it's not yet cold enough to wear jackets etc but at least it's going to rain next week ^_^

I'm going to share with you today my Forever New wishlist for the coming months. I'm a huge fan of Forever New because the items they stock are exactly my style but I have to admit that it can be quite expensive most of the time :( but they do have a pretty awesome outlet and sale items are always marked down a lot.

Anyway, here goes...btw I haven't gotten any of these items yet...

Forever New - Victoria Dolly Coat

I don't have a white coat so this winter, I'm looking for a nice white coat that's really good quality and looks cute. This one is even more perfect because it's got bows on the pockets.

Forever New - Lili Double Breasted Coat

Again, I also don't have a navy coat and am looking for one. I love this because the pleats add a feminine touch and the bow at the back softens the whole look of the coat but at the same time, the double breasted buttons leaves a classic touch.

Forever New - Clemence Hooded Duffle Jacket

This jacket also comes in white but I want a pop of colour this winter so if I buy it, it'll be this nice watermelon colour. The faux fur collar is also removable which is great because you can create two types of looks. Without the collar, I would opt for a pretty and chic look. With the collar, I would choose to have fun with my outfit.

Last but not least....SHOES!!!!!

Forever New - Dorothy Mary Jane Pump & Charlotte

I'm a huge sucker for mary janes and I have quite a few pairs already. I just think that mary janes are so versatile but so classic at the same time. As for the second pair, I'm sure you've already guessed that I like it because of the bows. Although to be honest, I'm not really a fan of peep toes in winter because my toes will just freeze. I can save it until spring or something because it's got lace and would look fantastic with a spring dress.

I wish the items weren't so expensive :( but anyhow, you can always keep an eye out for similar items.

Stay tuned because I'll be doing more winter outfits soon. I'll probably video it and upload it on my Youtube channel so check it out here...

Goodnight for now ^_^

xoxo

New Look + Outfit of the Day

Morning all,

I went to the hairdressers yesterday to get my hair done. About time since my regrowth was getting pretty bad >.<

I bought a voucher off Cudo for this so I'll be writing a proper review on the salon soon :D

Anyway, I wanted the same hairstyle I had so I got it trimmed a bit. The colour I had before was a light brown and it eventually turns brassy at the ends which I didn't really like so I opted for a darker colour. It's a pretty dark black/brown but I'm assured that it won't turn brassy which is good. Ok here are the photos:

I should've done a before and after but I guess you can see it in my videos :D

So do you guys like my new cut and colour?

Here's the outfit I wore yesterday:

I'll have more of these posts if you guys like them :)

Oh and I'll have the Giveaway video on Youtube up early next week but in the meantime you can check out my channel here.
