Take Me To Barbados!

After a great dinner out with my family at the Casablanca restaurant we stopped into Kmart to get some winter pjs. As a makeup addict my feet automatically take me to the cosmetics section where I was lucky enough to find these bad boys. Ladies I introduce you to the Face Of Australia Barbados nail polish set which I got for $1.75 each reduced from $4.95! I only missed out on one shade (that I know of) but after painting a quick and dodgey coat on my nails I have to say that I love each and every shade, which is a rare occurrence for me. Ill paint my nails properly to show you swatches tomorrow. Just had to share my bargain find with you :)

Kmart Haul..

Kmart actually has some nice stuff in store at the moment! These are the things I bought today. Two pairs of heels, one pair of boots and some red snakeskin jeans. Can't wait to wear em out!

Crest Chest

I think my brother would absolutely love this! I seen it at a variety store while shopping in Kyabram with my mum and grandmother. It's quite fantastic and he needa a side table and chest of drawers desperately. Hrmm, on the list it goes..

ASOS 75% Off Sale

I love bargains.. and Asos gave me just that!

I Heart Denim Shoes..

I found these gorgeous Zu platforms on sale yesterday for $40!! I couldn't leave them there all alone to fend for themselves so they are joining my collection.

Books And Butterflies

While shopping in my favourite thrift store yesterday, my mum called me over to the book section.. I thought she had found a first edition worth hundreds of thousands of dollars by how excited yet discreet she was when calling out to me! Turns out the high pitch excitement which was quickly dulled down wasn't her "Holy shit were rich" voice, but her "I'm trying not to frighten this butterfly away" voice. I tried to get a photo with its bright orange wings open but it was in stealth mode so it tried to blend into the shelf as much as possible. Was still worth a photo.

Shooters!

I love miniatures (in most things) so of course I adore these mini opi nail polishes. Do you own any of these sets?

Pretty In Pink

Last week I went shopping and found this gorgeous pink polka dot dress. I'm kinda regretting not buying it on the day.

Excuse the black bra, obviously nude lingerie is the way to go!

Random FOTD

 

Last weeks fotd using a gold Mac pigment under the eyes just for something different. 

I was wearing a rust coloured waterfall style dress that I bought on sale at Glassons for $5.

Red Or Orange? Hrmmm..

These are on sale at my local DFO for $48 each.
I intend on buying both, but which should I buy first (incase I miss out on my size in the other colour) 

Red or orange?

My past pulls me to the red but the new summer trend is pulling me towards the orange.

Inglot Lipstick Palette

Like any girl, I LOVE a sale or finding a bargain. 

I'm not embarrassed to walk into a store and straight over to the sale section. Depending on the store of course!

When it comes to places like Inglot, I definitely browse around for a minute before I seek out their "promotions". 

This is a deal I've been considering for a few weeks now. It's three lipsticks in a palette for $20. It's not the 'Freedom System' where they are magnetic and stackable palettes, but that's better because this one goes in your bag, has a slot for a lipbrush or two and also has a mirror so you can see what you're doing! ..And at only $6.66 a lipstick (including a home for them) who could resist?

The deal itself is value for money but I always hesitate when it comes to lipgloss-style lipsticks or lipgloss pots in general. I went in with the intention of just swatching the colours and after swatching the first colour, I immediately knew I would want to later buy at least twenty of the colours they offer. 

I chose summer shades, despite the fact that most of the colours I really, really, really, really, really, really, really wanted were winter tones.

I bought a cool toned pastel baby pink, which is numbered "15"

I bought a creamy apricot colour, which is numbered "29"

And I bought the most amazing deep bright pink, which is numbered "33"

33 was the first shade I swatched in the store and is the reason I knew that I would love these lipsticks.

Below are photos of the colours, the palette, swatches and the last photo is the stain they left when wiped away with a tissue. I love lipsticks that have a slight stain to them, so that is yet another point in their favour.

Do you own any Inglot lipstick palettes? 

What is your take on them?

Gotta Heart The Stache

Typo has an entire moustache range. I'm in love with it. 

Sorry that it's upside down though, haha.

Richard Johnson Dong

Three names for the word dick. Two of them happen to be this designers name.

Obsessed Much?

I can't help myself when it comes to ChiChi or bronzing gels.

Bargains Your Missing Out On!

After surfing Ebay I found some GORGEOUS Jessica Simpson colour blocking platforms. 

From this first picture you can see they are still pretty valuable.. 

 Now look at how low the price is on these separate auctions!

And don't be turned off by the shipping cost on the pair below because that's only for shipping to AUSTRALIA. If your in America these will be posted to you for around $10 (sometimes they even ship for free!)

Now ask yourself: "Why am I wasting so much money by shopping in the store?"

There Ain't No Shopping Like Window Shopping!

Starting at Apple MAC, moving to Valleygirl, Kmart and ending at Forever New.

I Wanna Be A Denim Cowgirl!

 Yesterday I went shopping at my favourite local thrift store called Savers. 

It's pretty expensive in comparison to other thrift stores so when you find a bargain you really need to beat other shoppers away with a stick! I was searching all ten shoe racks (which hold anywhere upto 1000 pairs of shoes) because I was on the lookout for an odd Sachi shoe. It was a gorgeous brown strappy sandal style pair of heels with jewels sewn onto the straps and they were only $12.99! 

If you buy Sachi shoes you know that a brand new pair is around $150 (or more) and these looked brand new so the idea of saving of $137 made me very happy! After ten minutes of looking desperately on every shelf to the point where I almost crawled on the ground to look under the racks, I knew it was time to give up. Obviously someone had found them, tried them on, loved them but couldn't afford them so they hid one in another section of the store so no-one could find them and buy the pair.

I was pretty bummed, until I saw these:

Now anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE denim shoes, cowgirl boots, stiletto heels, chrome detailing and anything patchwork so imagine my surprise when I came across these. Talk about almost peeing myself! Geez.. I ran around looking for it's partner and guess what? Once again I had no luck! I had the bright idea of hiding this one so that I could go back in a few days (hoping the person who obviously hid the first one would give up and put the original missing shoe back) but when I sat down and tried this one lonely shoe on, it was too big. 

I don't mean too big as in "Oh I'll just wear thicker socks than normal" I mean too big as in I would look like I was a kid wearing my mums shoes - and I haven't done that since I was four! 

So I played the worlds smallest violin between my fingertips and moved on to the next row - where I found a pair of Coach, Tony Bianco, Faith and Juicy Couture shoes.. 

I LOVEEEEE THRIFT STORES! 

(and will be uploading this haul video on my youtube this week)

My New Pink Ralph Lauren Heels

I've been addicted to this kind of heel since I was thirteen. 

Not the heel itself but the entire look of this style of shoe.. Everything from the wooden base, slim front platform, sturdy thick heels that aren't too high, basic, comfortable, versatile, studded to the fact that they are only held on by a simple strap across the toes. 

They always remind me of clip clop heels on beautiful Spanish women living in Miami.

Weird - but true.

They have never been worn but you can see that they are a tad 'shop soiled'. The Ralph Lauren label is a bit scratched but other than that - these are in perfect condition. 

Such a nice addition to my summer wardrobe.

Haul: Guess.
