Playboy Bra Collection + Update +Recs??

I'm so un inspired and un motivated by what I should be filling my blog with these days! There's like a tonne of pictures from last weekend, and I really wanted to post them because I love hearing about other people's weekends, but Cristina from BarbieLuvsMac (Who doesn't love her blog!?) shared too much information with bloggers and now some (as in a couple of jealous people!) have turned against her and been saying bad stuff to her, and so she's stopped blogging! :( Devo'd!
 Anyways, so the point is, is I don't want to discuss what I do on weekends, because I know not everyone has the same sort of life style that I do! and some people may be against it, or whatever! Anyways...

I'm obsessed with Playboy Bras!! I know that "Playboy" as a brand may be seen as tacky/slutty or "demoralising" but their bra's fit me so well! I'm a size 8D/DD - depends if there's padding involved ;) - and like seriously, try finding pretty bras that are 8D!! Impossible!! I also think their bra's are kinda cuteee :) So last week I purchased matching bra/undie combo (I know not a very good photo, hard to take photo's of bras!)
Bra $70
Bottoms $30 (Cant believe I paid that for underwear... Dummb!)
I also purchased a bunny kit! haha bit of a impulse buy! It was $49.95 and I just think it's way cute! I loveee going to dress up/pimps n hoes parties, so this kit might come in handy :)
And here's my lovely collection of my other playboy bras :)
I know it's weird having a post about bras! It's not like I'm going to post like all my bras haha last post I told you about how my brother borrowed a camera from school? Well I took a picture of the black/white stripped playboy combo, and got creative and tried taking pictures of the other ones :) I was a tad bored!

My mate had an assignment to just take lots of photo's of anything! He took like a bazillion of myself, my mum, my cat, his friends, streets, buildings, EVERYTHING, got annoying! But yeah here's a photo of me he took, it didn't really turn out how he wanted it to though lol
He's gay by the way, so he's very creative and he see's girls differently and everything! He's basically like a sister, but a very judgemental one!

I have alot of Clarins Skincare Product Reviews coming up! I'm obsessed with their Hydra Matte Lotion :)

But I'm looking for a good rec for a hydrating serum! not moisturizer, just serum!

Ohh, and have to show you my new $100 pleather jacket from Miss Shop at Myers :)

OOTD + Rubi Shoes Boo Boo!

Goodmorning! Thank God Its Friday! :) Excited for tomorrow night, I'm planning on wearing those high waist shorts that I pictured in my previous post, but I'm trying to decide how to dress them up! I'm even thinking stockings? It'll be about 12degrees, so it's cold! But I don't think I'm overly keen on stockings/short shorts combo, left alone high waist shorts/stockings combo! Guess I'll man up and deal with the cold haha

Here's an outfit of the day from, yesterday? Or the day before? Uhhh, seems like my days are all running together!! Not a very exciting OOTD, jeans and Dotti military type jacket (last year).
Note the shoes! They're $20 from Rubi Shoes (hella cheap!) but you'd expect them to last atleast one wear, right?
Well they broke in town! When I was walking. Excellent. It was pissing down with rain aswell. I went back to Rubi Shoes (sans receipt) and they were like "What do you expect me to do about that?" I just blankly stared and asked for the Customer Service number and left.
I mean, I'd worn them once, as in that day. And they broke? And the SA was like "They're $20..." and I'm like Yes, But they should last more than 3 hours!

I'm a student, I don't have money to just buy another pair, and why the fuck would I want another pair of shitty shoes that are possibly going to break on me? ARE YOU KIDDING!

I've actually had like a black pair from Rubi Shoes before, for work (waitressing), which is walking up and down and up and down etc, and they never broke! After a few months of wearing them for 20 hours per week, my toe did start to make a hole, but like the sole didn't just rip off!

So over it, but I will be ringing up and complaining. They should have a better policy.

Look how crazy wavy the rain made my hair haha
I have a love/hate relationship with winter. It'd be more love/love if I had my lisence! I know, I could've had it about 3 years ago, I'm slack!

Has anyone been dissatisified with customer service/a product/company policy and complained??

If I do call up Rubi Shoes Customer Service, I think it's because I'm being spitefull, I mean honestly I really don't care that a $20 pair of shoes broke within 3 hours, it's just that I had to walk around town in them and to school! It's the "principle" of the matter haha or whatever the saying is!

High Waist Shorts + Favourite Cheek Combo + Favourite Foundation Combo + Favourite Oil Blotting Sheets

I have been going into town (clubbing? don't know what people over seas call it!) every weekend, and it seriously wrecks me !! I'm one of those people who start getting ready at 5pm, Pre Drinks at 7pm at friends, Town by 11pm, and I won't get home until 10am the next morning!! Blaaa, so I spend the weekend recovering instead of doing my homework or blogging :(

BUT I've managed to finish a whole term in school! I'm so proud of myself, as you may have notice I start things, but never really finish them!! I was doing 4 subjects, but I dropped Maths, so now I'm doing 3, the good news is is that I'm aceing them :D

If you read my last post, I was explaining how my friend dropped my camera into a mug of water and I had to get another one, but the new one turned everything green! I pretty much refuse to use it because I don't like the green tinge, but my brother brought home this all hi tech and spesh camera from school, amd omg if he knows I've been using it he's gonna cut sick haha
I took this photo with the camera that was dropped into the mug of water LOL as you can see it works, but with like a special effect-y type look (reminds me of the special settings like Sepia, etc) I turned the dropped-in-water-camera on last week and it kinda works! So I;m gonna take it out this weekend and take some mad photos!

I bought some really cute high waist shorts yesterday from Supre. I know that some people think that Supre is tacky, but quite frankly it's the only store with my size! I know that I look chubby in pictures and stuff, but yeah at Supre I'm at size 3xs in everything, and there's always beautiful clothes in Globalize but THEY NEVER FIT! It's so frustrating.
Anyways, so here are the shortttsss *drum roll*
 They were only $35. I'm going to wear them out this Saturday night, I'll take loaddssss of pictures (on mu wicked cool water-stuffed camera) and I'll upload them :) But I'm going to ask my friends first, cos like I mean I'd be cool with them posting pictures of me on websites, buuutttt, I'll ask just incase they're funny about it!

Usually I don't have much time to put much on my cheeks at all, and I've never really layered different blushes or bronzers, usually it's either blush, blush and high light, or just my MAC MSF in Soft and Gentle !! But lately I've been using MAC bronzer in Refined Golden and NARS blush in Deep Throat.
I apply the MAC bronzer first (I always shove a bit on my t zone, but not much cos it has small glitter pigments!!) and then I apply the NARS blushh!! It looks amazing, if I do say so myself :P I'll do an FOTD when I have a decent camera! The bronzer looks dark, it is, but if you apply it with a light hand and slowly build up it's absolutely AMAZING! I'm an NC20 (albiiiii) for reference.

The Body Shop Oil Blotters have been my saviour for yyears. I'm obsessed, no joke, OBSESSED. I've tried every single oil blotter out there, and these are just amazing.
So you could imagine how freaked out I was when I rocked up to the Body Shop with only about 10 sheets left and a big weekend ahead, and they told me they were to be DISCONTINUTED!
Luckily, the assistant was miss-informed, the other oil blotters (one with powder and the plain one without powder) were being discontinued! PHEW!
I have an oily nose (no, not tzone, just nose!) and instead of layering powder to get that horrible cakey look, not to mention that after 12 hours of dancing you get that horrible orangey tinge? well instead of that, I just used an oil blotter every 2-4hours, and touch up with my MAC compact every 6hours!! Love Love Love Love Love Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love LoveLove Love Love Love <33. They're only $4.95 as well! MAC oil blotters are what, like $20 - $30!?

It's Winter in Adelaide right now, and with a new season comes a new foundation routine! I haven't changed up my powder - I love my MAC Select/Sheer Powder in NC20 - but I continually switch my liquid foundations!! I was using Clinique Superfit for most of the Summer, but for Winter I've switched to Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation in Ivory.
It's not really "switching" because I have used this for about 2 years almost, on and off! I always get compliments using this foundation, and it's absolutely perfect! Looks flawless, and stays put!!
Cons?
It stays put, yes I just said that was  pro, but removing it takes a tab more effort than my other foundations, I just have to repeat my cleansing (Cetaphil) once more, and I always make sure I use my Clarins Toner afterwards to make sure eveyrthing's removed!
Also, the colour range is dismal. It has about 5-6 shades, I would like to go to the second shade (I'm the lightest, Ivory, at the moment) but it's too orange! It's a fab foundation, but they need to expand their shade selection!
I'm going to do a separate post about the Clinique + MAC vs Rimmel + MAC foundation routine!!


I've so missed blogging, and honestly want to keep posting!! Ohhh, and incase my followers think I've forgotten them - I haven't!! I've still been reading blogs, I just haven't been commenting often because my computer is so slow!! I have a brother and with that comes with downloading music, and other stuff. Not cool!! Ewww. I should probably delete that from this post, but I won't haha

EOTD + Physicians Formula Baked Eyeshadow Trio

Recently I've been using the Physicians Formula Baked Eyeshadow Trio in Baked Sands for an everyday neutral look (EOTD below), and I've fallen in love with the colours! So I've decided to up my game and purchase another trio but a darker version, I went for "Baked Smokes". Basically these trio's have a base/lid shade (left), high light (centre) and a liner/crease shade (right). It's basically for those colour-retarded people who can't mix and match shades, like me! It's pretty full proof, they're easy to blend, and I spose they're alike a MAC "frost" type texture, but less soft.. The only downer I have on them is that they run out pretty fast! I haven't used them wet yet, but I'll do it tomorrow :) Maybe then it'll save some shadow seeing as I won't have to use as much!
On sale at Priceline for about $10 - Normally $15ish?

EOTD using Physicians Formula Baked Eyeshadow Trio in Baked Sands
I 've had this palette for almost 3 years now! and haven't actually used it until about a month or so ago!  I don't even remember purchasing this ever, maybe a friend gave it to me or something? I never even used shadow until about a year ago!
[click to enlarge]

I apologize for the dodgy pictures - It's half the camera's fault and half because I took the pictures after a 12 hour day! In a few of the pictures you can see the scar I have from hitting my head a few weekends ago, cannot believe it actually scarred :(
+ my eyebrows haven't been waxed in over two weeks because I'm scared it will open up my scar

Clarins Colour Quench Lip Balm + FOTD + Uggies :)


Yesterday I exchanged a Clarins moisturizer because, after using for 4 weeks (hoping it would get better), it broke me out horribly, but because the moisturizer was $78 and my regular Clarins moisturizer was only $45 I had a few extra dollars to spend. So I purchased this lip balm :) It's less sheer than what I usually go for, but I actually don't mind it. I won't be repurchasing because it's not ultra moisturizing like my regular $10 lip gloss, and it's too dark for me; However, I do reccomend this as it is a beautiful colour! Even though it isn't "solid" like most lip balms, it does dry less shiney than a gloss :) But still has a subtle sheen which is really nice! So if you're not ready for lipstick but don't like have sticky glossy lips, then this might be for you :) It's approximately $26  - I'm shocking with remembering the prices! haha
The above picture was me trying to be all arty haha I was taking it as though I was reading the back sorta thing -Here's what the packaging says about this Lip Balm:

"Fresh, Luminous lip balm in fruit-inspired colours with a sweet fruity aroma and taste. Deeply replenishes lips with soothing moisture for lasting comfort."

Love the scent, taste and colour but like I said before, it's not moisturizing enough for me - but my lips are SUPER dry

Below is my face of the day :) I'm having difficulties with my camera, buttt I was trying to show you the glow on my cheeks, but it didn't show :( ANyways I'm using Chi Chi blush in Burning Up and Revlon Bare It All in 245 Peachy Tease which gives me a really nice glow :) I'll try to get better pictures!!! Still sorting out the settings.....

Mitchdowd Boxers are the BEST! from Myers :D have had these ones since Year Nine, so about 5 years!!!
And each winter I get myself one or two pairs of Cotton On Ugg Boots :) for only $24.95!!! They;re horrible quality and get smelly and dirty and break apart in about a month or two, but like for under $25 and they're way comfy....

New Shoes :)

Betts had a "Buy One Item, Get The Second Item Half Price" promo,so I decided to take advantage of it! I'm 99% sure that it's still going aswell! So Aussie girls should def make the most of it :) Also, Zu is having the same promotion! And has the cutest (or tackiest? I'm unsure) studded and diamonds clutch!

This pair also comes in dark/moss green, burgundy red, and a deep tan colour, but I chose blue because at the time I was wearing a bright floral dress and these looked AMAZING!! These are probably some of the shortest heels I own, but they're so comfortable - They're also the only non-peeptoe pair I own aswell!
$79.99 - down to $40 :)

My camera is refusing the take good photo's of these black pair, but they're a dark black, and they're not washed out at all! They're too cute! I love straps on heels for when you need to walk fast on a night out without losing your shoe lol
$109.99 (or something close?)

OOTD + Nipple Piercing Opinions?

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!!! I didn't even eat chocolate (well, no more than usual) but I still managed to put on weight?

I'd like to apologize for the pictures, I've never had like a decent camera at all, and my last camera (that has taken 90% of the pictures on my blog) was OKAY until it dropped into the mug of water and went fuzzy! So today I got a new one, took it home and took photos, noticed they were shotty photos, so decided to return the camera, but I had chucked out the receipt in the bin just outside the place I bought it from - TARGET - and they wouldn't let me exchange it because I had no receipt! Even though the guy who served me remembered me from an hour before!!!! So mad.

If anyone has the SANYO IZ-S1275 please tell me which settings are the best!!! Ugghhh

Anyway, my OOTD was taken with my camera phone! I have an LG web slider and it's picture quality is fair dodgy! But I need to update with something! I really used to enjoy blogging, so hopefully I'll get back into it
But the good thing about phone pictures is that they take 2 seconds to upload!!!

Black Supre Skirt
Cotton On Loose Fitting Tee
Betts Gladiator Sandals

I got my nipple pierced on the weekend haha I don't know if it's tacky or not, the concept of it is I guess, but I'm not the sort of girl who gets it pierced and tells everyone about it and whips it out to show it off! I haven't showed anyone! I've noticed however, that when I tell a male friend that I have it pierced the first thing they ask is "Can I see it?". Ewww. No.

Does anyone have their nipple pierced?
Or any opinions from anyone?

MIA

I have been missing in action for almost a whole month! It's bad, I know!

It's not just blogger that I've been slacking on, I'm also way behind in school - I'm seriously on an "E" for Maths! Ah!

I will be blogging after Easter, my friend ruined my camera by drunkingly dropping it into a Schutzenfest mug filled with water.. But she's buying me a new one, soon.

Last weekend was totally heckit for me, I ended up at the Emergency Room at the Royal Adelaide Hospital at 3am on saturday morning after hitting my head on a desk! I had a couple of stitches, which were taken out today, but I now have a lovely black eye and there's still blood in my eye!
Gross, I know! All my foundation is like gone and I'm all spotty cos I've been going out way too often. Next term I'm stopping like everything! On weekends I'm planning on staying home with a study group :) Mmmm.. Perhaps!

Eww and yuck, this is from another night, I'm the blonde in the dark blue dress with a silvery goon sack on my knee!
LOOK AT MY POSTURE!!!!
HELP!!!
It's horrible!
I'm seriously considering a brace?

Easter Holidays started today, so I will definitely be posting more!
The good thing is, is because I've been away for so long, I have loads of things to blog about!

Happy Easter Lovelies x

OOTD + FOTD + Haul

This is my first ever attempt at wearing a maxi dress! I love them, even though it was a few cm's too long and I had to keep it hitched most of the day with my hand, but they're really comfortable and you don't have to worry about the wind lifting your dress up or anything!
I took my FOTD at the end of the day (4pm) and my hair went crazy cos the wind, but I didn't really do much at the start of the day with it anyway! I literally woke up and shoved it in a crocodile clip :)

Bourjois 10 hour sleep affect foundation
this is a sheer foundation to me, and I don't usually wear sheer foundations or TMs, but my skin was behaving itself today!
I got my hair done the other day (though you can't tell because my hair is so dirty! I haven't washed it since I got it done on Tuesday.. It is currently Friday.. hahaha ewww I know! Anyway, Sarah at If The Shoe Fits... has wonderful, shiney, healthy blah blah blah blonde hair, and she uses the John Freida shampoo and conditioners to maintain it, I'm not sure if I bought the same ones as her (there's like a few different blonde shampoo/conditioners to choose from in the range!) but I bought:
I haven't used them yet (haven't washed my hair duhh) but I've been smelling them non-stop!! They smell gorgeous, like salon brand type scent.. Really nice, and I'm sure once I'm using them just the smell will make me think I'm doing something good for my hair haha They were about $15 each from Woolworths, which is kinda expensive for supermarket shamp/conds!

I also went into Kmart today to buy The Hills Season Five Part 1 on dvd for $19, but they had sold out! After a day! So frustrating!
So I went to JB Hi-Fi instead, and bought it for $25 :)
So excited to watch it!
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Haul + OOTD



Supre 
was $28
sale $10

was $9
sale $5

 not on sale $28

From Sportsgirl I bought a kabuki makeup brush for $16.95, it's lovely and soft, but sometimes cheaper brushes tend to start soft, then they go all stiff and lose all their bristles/hairs!! So fingers crossed this stays gorgeous!
 I usually carry around a mediamakeup powder brush (the handle fell off! ugh) so this will be not only cuter, but more space-saving and convenient!

So excited!!! I also bought Season Five of the Girls of the Playboy Mansion, and I cannot wait to watch it! My whole weekend is gonna be booked up just watching the episodes :)

OOTD March 2nd
grey top - sportsgirl
white top - valleygirl
black skirt - supre
