leopard fever!

Thursday, January 28, 2010

I hate my picture quality so much right now.
My camera actually broke so I'm on the lookout for a new digicam, if you have any suggestions please let me know!

So a couple of weeks back Nina and I were spectators at the auditions for Australia's Next Top Model and Charlotte Dawson's jacket brought out the leopard in me! The girls that audtioned were stunning each with a never-ending pair of pins, ahh - how wonderful it would be to be tall, beautiful and fabulous!

L-R: Charlotte Dawson, Alex Perry, Sarah Murdoch, Jas Daly

With that aside, it's housekeeping day! This looks like one bender of a clean up, so to make things a smidge easier I'll reply on blogs for those who have posted a link, as for the remainder of q's- here it goes!

Anonymous: Hi Annie ! Just wondering what is the most expensive item of clothing in your closet?
My most expensive item of clothing has got to be my Ginger & Smart O-Dako Silk dress for $585 (if you'd like a piccie I'll tuck it somewhere in the next post for you!). It was actually a gift from my mother.

Anonymous: Hello Annie =) which sites do you go on to shop online and which online stores have you ordered from. i love online shopping but i dont know how safe it is and im scared =/ oh and have fun in fiji!!!
safe sites that I know/ordered from include: Urban Outfitters, Top Shop, Forever 21, ASOS, American Apparel, Shopbop, Karmaloop, Net-a-porter, MyCatwalk, Maximillia, Stylestalker, Freez, Designerstirredwithvintage, Revolveclothing, Chickdowntown and Missselfridge there's also ebay of course but I've had a few glitches with ebay sellers before. To be safe only buy from trusted sellers with high ratings and good reviews!

Anonymous: IM OBSSESSED WITH LUSH!!!!!! but its pretty expensive, do you think its wise to buy LUSH products online?
Personally I wouldn't buy things online but if you don't have access to a store and you're willing to risk not liking the product then the LUSH website is definitely a safe place to shop but you won't be able to smell and touch your products before buying and if you live in a hot area there's the risk of the product melting before it gets to your door!

Anonymous: in your entry where you had those polaroid pictures what was the name of those shoes that you wanted? they're hot!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Shoes! My dream shoes!

Anonymous: can you do an entry about what are your favourite or must have drugstore products? i LOVE your blog but most of your makeup things (i.e NARS, MAC) is so expensive :(
My makeup collection is still brewing so I don't have that many drugstore products to discuss but I can't live without my Revlon Colorstay Foundation and my Loreal Lineur Intense Liner!

Anonymous: wanted to ask you where you get all your NYX stuff from? because you seem to have eyeshadows and lipsticks too. the other bloggers only know where to buy lipsticks!
The NYX store is near Liverpool Plaza next to where Video Ezy used to be, I'm sorry for such cruddy directions but I hope you're able to find your way there!

Anonymous: a while ago when you did a haul and you bout all those booties and stuff, would you be able to repost about them and maybe take pics of what they look like on? i'm really lemming for them atm!!!!
I have exciting news Anonymous! (Well exciting for me anyway hehe) I actually recieved my shoes today! So I'll include those in the piccies too :)

Suede Wedge Booties from Shopbop


Wedge sneakers from Shoesone

Ava lace up boots from Top Shop

Dolce Vita Cutout wedges from Urban Outfitters (which are actually on sale at the moment for super cheap!)


Anonymous: Hi annie, this is totally un-shoe related, but since u have already made ur decison :) i was thinking maybe you should only show a few posts per page like 2-3 maybe? Because everytime i come on ur site (which is alot) it looads alllll of the pics from previous posts which can be really hurtfull to our bandwith lol :(
Awww I read this comment when I was in fiji and I felt so bad hahaha so after reading it I signed in and changed my layout to only a couple of entries per page (there's still a tonne of pictures to load though - eek!)

Anonymous: How did u buy things from urbanoutfitters btw? thanks !!
After I placed my order I actually got sent an email asking for a number they could use to get in contact with the cardholder so I had to email them the country code + area code + phone number for them to be able to get in contact with from America. There are a few downsides to ordering from UO: I love their Jewellery stands but they're not able to ship them to Australia, shipping charges were quite heavy, quite a bit of wait for delivery but every time I had to get in contact with them by email their responses were almost immediate :)

P: hey annie :) its valentines day coming up soon do you know what youre getting for your bf? and what did you want your bf to get you? my bf is taking me shopping but i have NOOOO idea on what i want!!!!
If I didn't know any better, judging from the choice of letter for your name and the question I would think this question was posted by Paul himself LOL I actually already got Paul an extra early Valentines day present, I'll post up a picture next entry!

Anonymous: hey annie are you just a christmas casual or a permanent casual at bardot? do you get discounts?
I'm a permanent casual at Bardot my anonymous friend! And yes I do recieve discounts :)

Cherri: ANNIEO!!! On your old blog AGESSSS ago someone asked you to do an entry about Autumn/Winter trends what influenced your picks? how did you know what was going to be 'in' for the season and COULD YOU DO ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE ENTRIES REAL SOON!! PRETTY PLEASE XP
Sorry Cherri I had to cut down your comment a bit but I've left the questions :) Since I enjoyed the last I'll probably do another and as for knowing what was going to be 'in' - there is never a knowing what other people were going to like. There were things I was intrigued by and you may have liked the same things I did for the season but others probably didn't, I'm not here to be a trendsetter - I'm here to tell you I'm fond of many different things!

^_^: does it bother you when girls that read your blog copy you? ive loss count of how many bloggers i know that read your blog are now into the things ure into like makeup, fashion, studding, booties/wedges and even doing your signature hair to the side hairstyle. do u notice it at all or is this the first time u've heard of it?
Makeup and fashion are two categories of just about every girl's common interests. Fashion trends change with the season and people are more than likely going to wound up lusting over similar things. Everyone has their own rights to what they want and what they're influenced by, to discourage people from how they express themselves would just be ridiculous! As for my 'signature hairstyle' I can't even claim it my own, my mother originally sported a much more polished version of the do for a formal event and I've stuck with it for years but I've merely just been a loyal fan!

Anonymous: Hey annie you work at bardot, how come you dont wear any bardot jeans? or jeans at all?
I've mentioned this on my old blog before, I try to avoid jeans. I just don't have the right shape for them and lately I've been straying from shorts too :( a sign that I haven't excercised enough these holidays!

Anise cropped top, Bardot Piper frill jacket, Bardot Pretty Punk Tank
Extended trading hours commenced this week as well as our $30 sale on dresses and a whole lot of pizzazz in the sales rack so drop by Bardot and join the hussle and bussle! Gosh, I've turned into a retail spruikazilla!
And when it's busy it means more work outfits which probably will make do for any hauls from now on.. buying clothes from the store means doubling them as work outfits and now I find myself passing shops that I'd normally enter (urgh, such a sacrifice!). I haven't had the urge to buy things but I find myself having to for the sake of work, which sounds like a pleasure but sometimes - it's a pain ($$$)!
Cinderbox jacket ($89.95), Holey Moley tank (SALE! $19.95)
Piper Frill jacket ($89.95) , Pretty Punk tank ($59.95)
Night Owl Jacquard (SALE! $29.95), Monaco Panel Skirt ($69.95)

I've also picked up a few more cubes for things that found no place on the chrome stand.

Housekeeping time! Not much to do but I have some time to spare for answers :)
Annie: Hehe, you have an uber cute smile. Have you had braces before? :)
Why hello fellow Annie! No I've never had braces before but I think I might need them in the near future :( my front teeth on the bottom row are being pushed inwards by the sneaky little wisdom teeth that will soon be peering from the tiny space left on my gums. Gah, dreading their arrival!

Anonymous: Hey Annie, woudl you be able to tell me what is the brand of your friend's camera? I love the quality of the photos!
I love her camera too! Hopefully next year I can cash in my next few paycheques for a new snapper! Her camera is a Samsung st500

Anonymous: hey annie is that black top from bardot a one top or like a singlet and something else? how much was it, since u work there eheh :) do u get good discounts??
Hello Anonymous :) the black Pretty Punk top is actually one top, the singlet inside was mine so I'm sorry for the misleading picture! I've reposted pictures of it with all the prices and yes I do get a discount on the clothes (but not as much as the full-timers, if only!)


Anonymous: Hey annieo, just wondering if you can help me out! LOL I just wanted to know what your getting your boyfriend for christmas, i'm absolutely clueless of what to get my boyfriend, his 18
Funny thing is I was just about to post up a question asking for xmas pressie ideas for the boyf! I had a plan to save up for things he really wanted and used, like part of his home entertainment system. But he's bought his own and it's better than what I could've given him - so that idea has gone down the gutter! He has said he wants a few things from IKEA, even though he thinks I won't be able to afford the things he wants I'm willing to cash in my next few paycheques and if anything get him a belated pressie - one that he'll make use of! Last year I got him a DVD player, the three seasons of Family Guy he didn't have and a Mossimo belt. Other pressies I've given him has just been things like Lacoste shoes, belts, jackets, shirts, Nintendo DS - guy presents are so difficult! This year I'm clueless :(

Summer party + Stereosonic

Sunday, November 29, 2009

It's summer holidays but I still haven't had a decent night's sleep. It's been one activity to the next and microdermal after-care in between so blog-wise I've been pretty inactive, most of my internet time is now used to email Amy and Amelia- two of my best friends on completely different continents that won't be back until next year :(

The fainting spell I had last week was from dehydration and since then I've unintentionally water loaded, my stomachs been in complete bloat-mode! Thank goodness for my cupboard full of loose fitting clothes hehe.

The week leading up to the Summer Party has been quite frantic. Since I lost my wallet I had debt to pay off, things to report missing and IDs + cards to be replaced. Then before I knew it it was Thursday night and time for frantic last-minute outfit shopping, my wallet was cardless so I grabbed what I could afford with the little dosh I had leftover and it was Summer Party the next night then Stereosonic the following morning.

I spent most of my Summer Party experience being pushed and shoved around, The only place with any moving space was in the public toilets (below) haha


and when the morning came it was time for Stereosonic. These photos are from Winnie's camera (which I love! Hint hint, new camera for Christmas Santa? hahaha)
The next morning I had to wake up for work and my calves were aching! Working at Bardot has been good though, a lot more laid back than General Pants. But it does scare me that my mindset at the moment is - "I don't care what my wage is, as long as I'm not couped up at a desk all day, I'm happy." ..sitting at a desk is basically ....the rest of my life after graduation :(
And now for a little housekeeping!
Anonymous: wowwwwwwwwwwwww how much did ur bf win?! lucky! can u show us ur new piercings :)
I don't know if I should mention the digits but I agree, he was lucky. I would go into another fainting spell if I had to explain to you how he played to win the amount he did though, agh my heart!
And about my piercings, I've still got about another week or two before I can take the spot bandaids off, the only time they're exposed is when I'm cleaning them so really only 4 people have seen them haha - here they are, fresh and only 8 days old.


Anonymous: hey annie did your microdermals hurt? how much did they cost and where did you get them done? post up a picture please =o)
The dermals were done at Industrie8 which are $90 each and $160 for two, then theres other costs like antiseptic and salt water sprays which are about $10-15 each.

I don't tolerate pain well. The only other piercings I've had are my ears and bellybutton so I went in expecting the worst ... but it was actually ok! The only real pain I felt was from adjustments. When he inserted the left dermal my body tensed up and it wasn't as flat as I wanted it to be so the dermal needed to be adjusted and pushed down into place but it was only a couple more seconds of adjustment pain and it was over!

Xtina: how long do dermals take to heal? does it hurt? i'm thinking of getting them on my back toooooo =] is it hard to look after?
The time it takes to heal depends on the location of the dermals, I think its a minimum of 2 weeks healing time (but then again, I'm only a patient, not a piercer! haha) but I can tell you that they've been the most easy going piercings I've had.

The after care I was given was an antiseptic spray and a salt water spray which you pretty much spray on the peircings 3 times a day. The antiseptic spray is wiped with clean tissue and the salt water spray is left to completely dry before applying the spot bandaids.

So they're pretty easy to look after, the only downside is that I'm allergic to the sticky part of the bandaid so I get a bit red and itchy but I've resisted the temptation to scratch then my gorgeous Bettina checked up on the dermals and gently scratched where the bandaid had made me itch, it felt so good, I swear I could have married here then and there LOL.


Anonymous: how long did it take to put in the microdermal piercings?
I think it took about 5-10minutes or so, it's a bit more fiddly than normal piercings but it's nothing terrible. I wanted to record it but I wasn't allowed to, which is probably a good thing. Watching the procedure on youtube never really helped me calm down all that much :

Housekeeping & Life

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Whenever I do one of these posts, seems like the tumbleweed keeps rolling by and nothing else hahaha. Life posts. Yes or No?

These past few weeks have been a horror. For the brief moment when it felt like do or die - I had myself convinced it was die. But it's all a bit too complicated for an explanation and I'm here now, turbo-charged and ready! Well actually.. I spent my first night of freedom in bed with my laptop and a long catch up session with megavideo.

Also! About General Pants, I actually got into a bit of a tiff with GP over shifts, sales and whatnot. Working there was a bit of a headache.. especially at this height I had to climb the ladders to reach just about everything haha but I haven't moved far, I'll be starting work at Bardot the week after the next. This time with a proper roster.

Three of my best friends are leaving on holidays soon :( I'm pretty down about not going overseas this summer but I guess I'll have the opportunity to do so in the future. I'll make those life long memories later in life, hopefully with my special someone!

Alright, time for a life update and sweeping! There will be a major haul bomb next post. I'm trying to save it all for when my Urbanoutfitters order arrives!

But moving on...
1. Mum's birthday. My brother and I (on the right) gave my mummy a little GUESS bag for her special day, happy birthday mother! My brother is also going into year 12 soon, yikes!

2. Kim & Peter's wedding. I've grown up with Kim and now she's tied the knot with her special man, she made such a beautiful bride. Congrats Kim and Peter!

And now for the sweeping!

Anonymous:Which website did you buy the Minkpink Sleepwalker tank from? I've been looking for it everywhere in grey - but could only find stock in black :(
From ebay! I don't remember the price I got it for but I guarantee you'll grab one for cheap (and *fingers crossed* in grey)!

Anonymous: how tall are you!? you look real tall in your photos!
Oh how misleading these photos must be! Haha. I stand around the 1m 50-something mark. Not tall at all!

Anonymous: Hey Annie!! Just a quick question, what do you use to remove your eye makeup? I find most products dry out my lids and leave them stinging =(
I use Lancome's Bi-Facil Eye make-up remover. Its non-oily and for sensitive eyes and hopefully it'll also agree with your sensitive-sounding eyes! For late night laziness Johnson's make-up wipes works wonders :)

Anonymous: hey hey just wondering where you got your earring stand from? it looks exactly like the one in an asian store in market city, only they dont really sell it but the earrings hanging on it haha. been looking for one but no luck :(
Hahaha I first saw them at market city too, quite embarressing because I kept going around to different stalls asking if they sell their earring stands and I finally found them at Fairfield markets, hoorah for the markets! haha

thilyy.: Where did you get the china glaze from? :O My mum had to bring them back from me from the states! I think the ones without shimmer work better than the ones with shimmer!
There were a few queries about the whereabouts of the China Glaze polishes stockist so I'll answer it here! There are some Nail Supply stores near where I live, a couple of them down the Hume Highway around Carramar and they all stock China Glaze. I've visited about 2-3 and the prices have ranged from $4-6. You can also purchase them here they also stock OPI and ORLY but voguettes have said shipping may take some time and all prices are in USD, not too sure on the p&h costs. China Glaze is definitely worth the wait though!

Hil: Hi, love the products I was just wondering where you ordered the stila smudgepot trios??
Ok places to buy Stila - BeautyBay, Fresh, FragranceX, YesStyle, Myshopping, Dstore.

Anonymous: Is the Mac fluidline or Stila smudgepot better and where can you buy/order China Glaze/Stila? What breed is your dog btw!
I definitely would pick the Stila smudgepots over Mac's fluidlines. They both apply on smoothly, don't flake or clump but I still find the fluidline still runs a little under the waterline whereas the smudgepots stay put - although they do dry out quickly so application has to be fast. Both are great liners though! Oh and my dog is a pomeranian! hehehe

Anonymous: For Mac NC30 skin, is Nars Laguna or Casino more appropriate?
Laguna! I'm NC40 and some days I find the Casino a smidgen darker then I'd like so I'd be standing there sweeping up the remainder of the Laguna to use hahaha. If I wasn't so low on the $$ I'd grab myself a back-up! :(

Anonymous: how much and where is the ring from?
The 'ring' from my last haul entry was actually a cuff from Sportsgirl! Looking back I can see why a lot of people confused it for a ring haha

Anonymous: hey annieo how did you do your nails? did you use your china glaze nailpolishes? how is the staying power, have they chipped at all? i did research after hearing about china glaze from your blog and all the reviews have been FANTASTIC. i cant believe i didnt know about this brand beforehand!!!
I put two coats China Glaze's 'Great Barrier Beige' as my base, did random spots of 'V' on my nails then did the black leopard print lining around the circles with my LA Colours Art Deco Polish in black :)

Annie: Just a quick question! You probably don't use this seeing as you don't have any eye bags/dark circles, but have you heard anything about the Garnier caffeine roll on stick, or the Garnier regenerating eye cream? Thanks!
No I haven't :( and it's definitely not because I don't have any eye bags or dark circles! I don't think I've had a proper night's sleep in so long, my under-eye is a tragedy in itself! My friends and I have talked about it though, I'll give it a try next time I pass it!

j: Could you please do a favourite products post or video? Pretty please?
I'm guessing I'd do a post, I've been too much of a mess for a video.. my overgrown brows and ghastly face.. enough to give the world a fright.

Anonymous: annieeee ! where do you purchase all your NYX products ?
Cherryculture! They actually my favourite lippies on sale so I did a bit of a hauling haha, will post it up next update!

XOVINTAGELOVE: Hey Annie, how do you like the Stila smudgepots? I'm interested in the Bronze one but it is a metallic kind of bronze? or just a flat colour? Thanks :)
Oh vintagelove I love them! And the Bronze is metallic!

❤ »Twee.: Hi gorgeous! I love your haul video :) Can you do a review on the chanel Pro lumier foundation? I really wanna try out a new liquid foundation! ^_^
Yes I will attempt to! After I get groomed hahahaha!

Anonymous: just wondering where you took these photos at?
The photos were at Chipping Norton lakeside!

Anonymous: With the chanel foundation, does the spf create a white cast/does it reflect light in flash photography? :)
Foundations with zinc oxide or titanium oxide do give you a bit of a white cast in photos and unfortunately the chanel foundation does contain titanium dioxide so I wouldn't say its the best for flash photography but it's great as a day foundation!

viviannn: I was just wondering where you bought your black bag from (in the video) it's absolutely gorgeous! I heard you say from Bardot, I didn't know Bardot sold bags? hope you holla back!
Yes m'dear it was from Bardot! They stocked it in Liverpool and Parramatta and hopefully they're still around!

Anonymous: hey what subjects did you do in high school and what uai and course are you doing atm?
Well I firstly have to say - I was not a brainy kid! nor do I think I am (or think I ever will be.. hahaha) but the subjects I did in highschool were Economics, Senior Science, Studies of Religion, Biology, Maths ext.1 and English advanced. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned my uai in the past, it's nothing spectacular and to be honest I don't remember the exact number, it was around 87 or so, but I'm studying a Bachelor of Business at UTS. The cut-off for the course was about 91 or 92 and I was one of the lucky ones that were able to score an extra 5 for a band 5 or 6 in English. So yes, please no hater comments for being a failure of a student :(

Anonymous: hey annie would you be able to create a look using the gilt by association mineralize eyeshadow that you got in your mac style black haul? i cant seem to find a use for mine =(
Wow, I've just realized I haven't even got around to using it myself! hahaha I will attempt to whip up something with my gilt by association!

Micro mesh dress (American Apparel), DIY cut out fitted bandeau (inspired by thehautepursuit) , Laspampas Suede Lace Booties (C De C)


Nina, Tammy and I took a detour and stopped by American Apparel on our way back to the station after Jimmy's exhibition and I was over the moon to finally have hold of the longsleeved mesh dress! I cut out an old bandeau I had lying around to wear underneath but I'm not sure how confident I am sporting these cut outs in public, I'd probably take it out with a long fitted bandeau instead - just to play it safe! haha

Last night was Wendy's birthday. I met Wendy briefly last year for a group assignment and in this passing year we've worked at the last two places together, attended the same interviews, shared the same classes, group assignments and missed some of our exams together (then passed eachother notes in our alternate exam LOL) and as of last night I can also add - peer pressured amelia to drink together - to our list of a blossoming friendship hahaha!

Happy Birthday Wendy Zhou!!

I've taken my camera out on both occassions this week but it hasn't been a photogenic week, maybe I'll leave them for my facebook's eyes only haha, hope everyone had a great weekend!

I also wanted to quickly fit in here a little thankyou to Kelly giving me the Star Award, definitely check her blog out! She's got killer style and oh, did I mention she's also stunningly gorgeous! Hahaha

And with all that aside it's been getting rather dusty in here, time for some more housekeeping! Looks like my collective haul entry will be delayed until next entry, which will probably be excrutiatingly long. The girls and I have recently been getting a rush from nail polish splurging hahaha

Anonymous: annieooooo could you do a review of the benefit high beam and moon beam? thankyou (L)
Will do! Although there also are plenty of good reviews on the tube already so check them out, they'll probably help a great deal more than I could! :)

Anonymous: can i please ask where you get your URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION from??? because i've been looking for it everywhere in Sydney and I just cannot find it!!and where do you buy your false lashes from? i bought like 200 in vietnam but they're diminishing and i need to restock. any suggestions??
I bought my UDPP from ebay, I would also wish to know where on earth they stock Urban Decay in Sydney :( and my falsies are also from Vietnam! hahaha, we often have relatives that travel back and forth from there to get them for us in cheap bulk but if you wanted to restock on them, last time I saw cheap false lashes they were in a store in Cabramatta that also sold hair products. I have no idea what it's called, but definitely pop in and out of Cabra stores and I'm sure you'll be able to find them! Industrie8 also have decent cheap falsies, if anyone has any suggestions then leave them in the comment box :)

Anonymous: Where can you buy NYX? and what do you think of each the MAC studio fix & studio tech foundations?:)
In some places in Aus they sell NYX in Gloss stores but I haven't seen NYX in any Gloss stores in Sydney so far :( the place where I get NYX things from is a small local perfume and hair wholesaler which name has escaped me but it was first introduced to me by my great friend Tammy hahaha. I've done a lot of searches for good cosmetics wholesalers online and contacted a few stores but most of them don't sell to the general public and in these cases I settle for purchasing things I can't find locally online. Will also do a review on MAC studio fix & tech foundations!

lolizzie: i noticed you used the clean and clear pimple pen, does it work for you?
To be honest, it isn't a great deal of help to clear my pimples - even toothpaste works better haha

Anonymous: loving the minkpink sleepwalker tank... it looks oversized. what size is it you're wearing? thinking of buying online :)
Hello Anonymous! The minkpink sleepwalker tank does look oversized but its actually an XS, I actually bought mine online too! hehehe

Anonymous: Hi What do you use MAC MSF's for and what do you think of the Shiseido cream foundation/other Shisheido foundations? If you hold your hair back when doing makeup, doesnt it ruin your hair?
I'll make sure to do a vid on the MAC MSF's, I'm completely in love with them! As for the Shiseido cream foundation its a pleasant foundation, it does its job well and doesn't dry out my skin but its pretty sheer though and wouldn't work well as a full coverage foundation. The Shiseido Sun Protection Foundation stick from what I've heard has gotten rather good reviews so I might give that a go again - the reason why I was never really fond of it the first time around was because I got it in the wrong colour! haha silly me.

Sarah: Hey where did you get your dressing table from?! I've been lookin everywhere for a plain nice white one.
The dressing table was a cheap find in IKEA, goodluck on your dressing table hunt Sarah!

em: Hi Annie,I was just wondering how often you use you LV Vernis Amarante bag?
In all honesty, recently I've hardly used it at all. The top handle is pretty inconvenient considering the bag is quite large and when I do take it out with me it's pretty heavy and I guess my paranoia of the vernis leather getting scratches and stains on it gets in the way of its use too. My mum uses it all the time though, I'm pretty sure she's rightfully claimed her ownership over it hahaha

Anonymous: wat does the fix plus do? and could u pleaseeeee do a vid showing the pieces in ur wardrobe. i commented this before but i dont know what happened to it :(
I think I'll do a review on the fix plus :) But as for a wardrobe vid hmmm, I'm on the fence about that one. My wardrobe is pretty boring to be honest! hahaha

Anonymous: Wow, those videos made me dizzy! LOLYour voice is adorabbbbbbble. :)Have you ever thought about selling your things at Glebe markets? Otherwise, I'd like to know where you sell your things? Ebay?
Hahahaha I apologise for the dizzyness and any type of nausea I have caused! I was thinking of selling my things on ebay, I keep saying this over and over again but I never quite get around to it lol I should soon though - I need the extra $$ in my pocket! If I haven't gotten around to selling things on ebay still, I don't think I'd ever get around to setting up a stall in Glebe to sell my things ahhhhh, laziness that great friend of mine haha.

So in my room tour vid I mentioned we had guests over which meant I had first priority to some of the food we were serving, so I took my share of sashimi and oysters before the guests arrived and thoroughly enjoyed my mini seafood feast mmmmm oysters. I'll have you know though that excessive raw seafood gives you severe stomach pains. HAHA

Something Else by Natalie Wood Top (General Pants), Ring, Cuff and Bracelet (Diva), Laspampas Suede Lace Booties (C De C), Opaque Knee High Stockings (Sportsgirl)

I realized I've made a bit of a boo-boo. I promised a housekeeping entry but I've deleted a post from my old blog which had some questions posted there! If I've deleted your question by accident please feel free to re-post them :)

Q&A
j:im in search of a new blush/bronzer as im almost out.. any suggestions?Thanks =)

You probably wouldn't be surprised to hear this since I've raved about this so much already but I love NAR's Blush/Bronzer duos! They are fairly dear but well worth the investment, I might do another review post on them but even though I've switched from the Laguna to the Casino (since warm weather is heading our way!) the Laguna/Orgasm duo will always be one of my favourites.

I don't know a fair lot about blushes, MAC blushes have done their job fine for me but cheaper bronzers that I'd definitely reccomend are the Cargo Bronzer, Benefit Hoola and the Physician's Formula Baked Pyramid Bronzer (Physician's formula have a lot of beautiful cheap bronzers! you'll be able to find them in drugstores, Priceline and Gloss).

Name: were you by any chance at wetherill today? i reallyliked your makeup! what did you use to highlight your cheeks? it was heaps pretty =]
Yes I think I was at wetherill that day, I don't exactly remember which day but I was in the area sometime last week. I was most likely using Benefit High Beam that day!

t: best undereye concealer?
You can probably see from my room tour vid that I don't own a lot of concealers and my skin is fairly dry so if your skin is combination/oily then it probably wouldn't react well to the ones I reccomend. Though, a lot of people with combination/oily skin love MAC's studio fix concealer, butit was very drying under my eyes and even on the blemishes on my face causing it to flake :( so I use liquid concealers. I really like Revlon Colorstay concealer and Physician's Formula concealer twin, and I hope that was helpful in some way or another!

person: for your nars stuff; is buying it on mecca cheaper then buying it in store? whats nars stuff do you have? could you do a review on each?
Unfortunately buying NARS products on the mecca website online costs the same amount as buying them at the mecca counter in store :( I don't have a lot of NARS products but I'll make a review on them :)

cb: did you purchase your nars bronzer/blush at mecca or online, if online which website? thanks =)
Hello! I actually purchased it at mecca and then went and ordered a back-up of it from ebay since it was a lot cheaper. However, when I recieved my package the casing was identical but the pan inside was a bit thicker around the edges and the colouring was about one or two shades lighter. So I did research online and realized that a lot of the stockists on ebay are selling counterfeit NARS products, most of the copycats are quite noticeable but the one I recieved, without opening it, looked very convincing! Scary!

t: Hey its me again LOL also wondering what size is the white/light purpleish pattern dress u wore on NYE? is that oversized too?
Haha I actually remember when I purchased that top! Yes it was oversized as well and I bought it during boxing day sales for $20!

And I'd just like to add a thankyou note for all your encouraging comments on my last entry :) I really appreciate it and I think I'm becoming a bit more comfortable with the idea of posting vids (so all my 7 subscribers could enjoy them, 2 of which are my best friends. Clearly I'm a youtube hit! hahahaha) I'll be looking forward to making more videos though!
