Australis Double Decker Swatches!

I love pigment and I love bronze creme shadows so I knew a happy dance was not far away when I unwrapped one of my stocking fillers at Christmas to find this Double Decker eye duo from Australis. I get both of the things I love in the one convenient package! It's similar to a lipgloss pot but the top opens to a creme eyeshadow which can be used as a base, liner or on it's own. In the bottom is one of the most amazing sparkly glitter packed pigments that I own and it can be used on it's own, wet, dry or pressed ontop of the creme eyeshadow.

I've swatched the pigment (left) the creme shadow (middle) and what they look like using the creme eyeshadow as a base and the pigment pressed ontop of it (right).

As soon as I swatched it, I knew I needed it in other colours so I went into Big W the next morning and purchased the colour Cosmic Rays. 

For only $10 each they are a perfect addition to anyones make up kit, whether you're a makeup newbie or a seasoned professional!

You can buy Australis cosmetics at Big W, Target, Kmart, Priceline and selected pharmacies. 

It's Almost THAT Time..!

After a quick count, there are just over FIFTY presents waiting for me to open at midnight.

I <3 birthdays.

Body Shop - Cranberry Joy Shimmer Lotion.

For Christmas last year my grandparents gave me this amazing shimmer lotion by The Body Shop. I love the effect it gives. Such a subtle but clearly visible shimmer in any light.

I don't wear it as much as I want to because the cranberry scent is honestly overwhelming and I'm not a huge fan of cranberries to begin with!

The scent is it's only real downfall.

The size of the glitter is perfect.
The amount of glitter is perfect.
It washes off easily in the shower.
It applies easily and evenly.
It doesn't leave the inside of your clothes looking like the floor after a new years eve party.
Doesn't leave your skin with a sticky or greasy film.

I give this product an 8/10

Thanks Nana and Grandad!

My Day - Represented By Pictures

It's my mums birthday so when she woke up, we gave her presents. I then applied her new Wrinkle Venom (review coming). We are getting ready to watch Burlesque and tonight we are having a black forest cake made by my brother.

And here are some famous names who share a birthday with my mum:
Dusty Springfield, Jimmy Osmond, Martin Lawrence and Akon.

Weekly Feature.

Two years ago my mum surprised me with a 'just because' gift.

As much as I love getting gifts, I'm always hesitant to use my designer items. My Dior dresses never venture out from behind my wardrobe doors, my Chanel lipsticks stay tucked away in my makeup drawer, my Ralph Lauren beach towel has never felt the warm sand beneath it and these vintage Tiffany & Co playing cards have never left their plastic seal.

A Very Late Birthday Haul!

I'm 9 days late with this birthday haul but here it is anyway.

All of these items are from my mum unless I say otherwise.

Calvin Klein Cosmetics Haul.

I received so much Calvin Klein makeup from my birthday that I've decided to break it up into 3 posts. It will make the swatches less confusing to upload.

The first installment consists of:

1 x Eyeliner
1 x Lip Liner
2 x Nail Enamel

PS - My apologies for the hideous condition of my nails. I must be stressed because I'm biting them in my sleep again.
