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:31/12 + OOTD

I went into Rundle Mall today to see if Lush still had their sale on, and they didnt! Omg so upset! I was so smart thinking that if I waited a week they'd have awesome sales, trying to get rid of their Xmas stock like last year, but everything was gone!!!
I really wantted to try the Star Melts after reading countless reviews from other bloggers!

Priceline
I was dragged into Priceline by my friend, and thank godness, because they had a 50% sale off ALL Bourjois products!!!
Bourjois really is a hit and miss brand with me, I LIKE most of their products, but dont find them that GREAT. These items are their eyeliners, mascaras and foundations.
However, I LOVE LOVE LOVE their blush pots!!
They're too gorgeous.
The packaging, the mini brush, the mirror, and the gorgeous pigmented colouurs they have.
34 Rose D'or

03 Brun Cuivre

Swatches and Reviews will come shortly :)
Ive also wanted to try out the Bourjois Pressed Powder after reading a review on someones blogger (forgot who's) and considering it was 50% off I thought that this was the time to buy! Even though I have a trillion powders I need to use up.
I purchased the Compact Powder in 71 Beige Clair.
Its yellowed based, and is very similar to my MAC Select Sheer/Pressed Powder in NC15 colour wise.

The Only thing I don't like about this product (so far, I havent actually used it enoughh to give my over all opinion) is the puff!! Ill be using a Suede MAC puff instead :)
The blush pots were only $10 each, and the powder was $11.50!

Myer
Then we went to Myer, and went straight to the back of the Beauty section to check out the Chi Chi collection. I ignored all the high end beauty counters because Im loaded at the moment and Im trying not to spend it all!!

Chi Chi
In Jordys blog she uses Chi Chi products sometimes, and they always seem to look lovely, so Ive been meaning to test out some of these products for a while.
I purhcased 3 items

Burning Up Blush $20 something? (lost the receipt)


Miss Personality e/s $16ish


Centrefold e/s $16ish (The flash like ruined the actual colour, swatches will be coming)



Sugar Baby
I also got a bath & body kit from Sugar Baby which was on sale
was $12/95
sale $9.07

I got this mainly because of the cute makeup bag :) Its pink and sparkly lol and like considering if you bought a makeup bag like this from Diva or Sportsgirl your gonna spend $10+ anyways, so in my head I was getting the free Body Wash, Hand Cream, and Body Creme.
Haven't tried these out yet, but will review them soon :)

Lastly I got the Island Glow Tan Enhancing Shimmer Oil from Sugar Baby
There was a huge table filled with these mini items (there was tan, lotion, etc) and they were only $4.95!
Haven't tried it yet, but I smelt it and its delicious! like coconuts! num num num


I have another haul from the Boxing Day sales, I didnt buy ANY clothes what so ever, because al the sizes are 10+ and Im a 6-8 (AUS) and they're always sold out. So Ill be loading up that haul, plus a shoot load of reviews!

OOTD
Okay, its like 40degrees today, I walked to the bus stop (3mins away) and I was sweating like mad! Thankgod I didn't actually dress up. Its way too hot for that.
I didn't even straighten my hair, firstly cos its too hot and it'll go frizzy no matter how much product I use (and I don't wanna use product cos I gotta get my hair lovely for tonight) and secondly because I'm trying to have 5 out of 7 days per week NON HEAT days :)

Omfg its New Years Eve!!! I don't know what I'll wear, it's SO hot, and they say it may even rain? Like WTF? Im not in Darwin anymore... Crazy crazy.

Target Haul

I love these shoes!! I got them in a size 8, and there was a choice of colours between silver, black and red. I chose Red because they remind me of Dorothy from Wizard of Oz :)
$39.99




The makeup I got was the Covergirl Waterproof Mascara, and Bourjois Blush in 16 Rose. Ill do a FOTD using these 2 products tmoz for Christmas day :) Also will be doing a Review on both products soon :)


Bourjois Blush in 16 Rose
Such a gorgeous colour!! I wanted to get one of the Limited Edition ones, but it was either a choice between a WAY pink like MAC Well Dressed blush, or a bronzey colour. 16 Rose is like a bronzey/peachy colour. It doesn't go on as dark as it looks in the pics. It has slight shimmer to it which is a must have for me with blushes :)
$20


Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara in Very Black/Waterproof
I neeed a waterproof mascara for Chritmas tmoz cos we have jet skis WOOP WOOP so pumped!! I can't believe I don't even own ONE waterproof mascara!! But I dont really use waterproof mascara because Ive heard it dries out your lashes if you use it too often as it isnt meant for every day use.
My sister swears by this stuff, and it definitely separates her lashes. However, tomorrow Ill be coating it on do get a bit of volume and maybe length too. See how it goes.
Was $17.95
Sale $14.36 (20% off at Target)




Merry Christmas Everyone!!

And for the Aussie girls, Victoria Secret Show is on tonight!! Forgot which channel but its on at 8.50pm :)

FOTD: Smokey Eye

This morning I attempted a smokey eye again because Im really trying to perfect it! Practice makes perfect, right? :)



Its not overly smokey or anything, there's no eyeliner on the bottom lash line, just the top.
So its a natural version of the original smokey eye :) Hope it looks okay!
Ive been reccomended several types of brushes for blending, So hopefully Ill be able to purchase a couple to help me out :)

This is what I used on my face:



Clockwise from Top Left: MAC MSF in Soft and Gentle, Revlon Bare It All in Peachy Tease, Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation in 100 Ivory, Rimmel Anti Fatigue Concealor, Revlon Sugar Dust in Sprinkled Pink, Bourjois eyeshadow in o8 Beige Rose, and the Be Yourself Palette; used the bottom left hand corner colours (They're black and greys, but looks blue and green in the pic!)


Hope everyone has a wonderful day :) x

Cotton on Underwear, Revlon Glitter, Bourjois eyeshadow, Revlon Bedroom eyes in Black, Models Prefer Palette. (Also, the black background is a Supre Low-back Dress and Forever New Bandage Dress) + Famous Mag, and NW Mag!



Clearly my Regrowth is hot as! Lol. How shamefull of me walking around with regrowth this bad! But Iam determined to grow my hair out! Im so self conscious when people look at my hair though - But hopefully Ill pull through! I just keep thinking about nice,shiney, healthy hair when it's all grown out! Yay!

Has anyone attempted to grow out their hair? What was the result? Epic fail or Glorious conquer?
