Everything That Glitters Isn't Always Gold..

I got home from gym today and was actually in the mood to play around with some makeup before I had a shower. I washed my face, applied foundation to half my face and grabbed the closest bright eyeshadow which was a Mac pigment pot in the shade Bright Fuchsia. 

It's a very dramatic and daring colour, perfect for summer. 

After rummaging around in my makeup drawer I found a matching Glitter Eye Creme by BYS in the colour Cherry Bloom. It reminded me of a tutorial I watched on YouTube called "How To Get Fairy Eyes" (or something along those lines).

Here is my inspiration photo..

And here is my two minute replica:

You can tell it's a rushed job but I found it fun to experiment with such a bold colour and glitter is never "safe" so the combination of the two was so daring. I may just wear this look clubbing on the weekend.

What I Used

In my crease: Mac pigment Bright Fuchsia

On my lid: BYS Glitter Creme in Cherry Bloom

My liner: Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner in Blackest Black

On my waterline: NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk

On my lashes: Australis TLC Mascara in Blackest Black

Now THIS Is Summer Music..

I'm starting to get really excited about summer. 

It's bright and sunny today and I just found out that I have lost 2.3kg in the last week. 

How could this day get ANY better?!

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)

International Swaps.

Recently a friend I made through YouTube suggested we so a swap. She lives in America so i agreed to send her Australian hair, beauty and jewelry items and she would do the same with items easily found I'm the USA. I have already bought her around fifteen items so these are just another six things i bought today to stockpile.

If anyone else is interested in having a swap, let me know xox

Parla Piu Piano..

Each spring and summer for the last four years I have found myself walking through the city, drawn to the latin band in the Bourke Street mall that play old folk song for shoppers and tourists.

Each year when I stand by watching them perform I'm just another face in a crowd... Until he sees me.

Regardless of if they are mid song, preparing for a lunch break or just adjusting in their seats before beginning another song, he pauses, looks me in the eyes and strums his guitar.. 

This is what he sings..
