Green with envy

I didn't realise how long it had been since I had done a makeup look! I just haven't had the time. Fortunately I found these photos on my laptop from a while back which I had forgotten to upload. So here's just a lil something simple to whet your appetite until I find some time to do a new look =)

Products used:

• 3 greens from YSL palette


• Prestige - Mechanical Eye Pencil - Midnight Blue


• Max Factor - Masterpiece (waterproof) mascara


• Shimmery white eyeshadow for brow bone highlight (not sure of the brand)

Australian Open 2010

Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi!! You guessed it, I went to the Australian Open lol. My friends and I bought ground passes which gave us access to the smaller arenas and courts. It was a really sunny day so lots of sunscreen needed and many strange tan lines lol but nevertheless it was heaps of fun. We got to watch some awesome tennis and see lots of big names. Here are some pics of from my day out.

Woohoooo Melbourne!

Gael Monfils

Alisa Kleybanova

Fernando Gonzalez

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

Australia's own Lleyton Hewitt

We met a walking ATM!! hehe

Vine nail design and L.A. Colors Art Deco Nail Laquer Review

Continuing with more products from my Cherry Culture haul. Today I'll be reviewing L.A. Colors Art Deco Nail Lacquer. You guys have already seen me use these with my Christmas nails a few posts ago. I LOVE these! These polishes come with a really long thin brush that allow you to do all kinds of pretty designs with ease, all you need is some creativity =)

I bought 4 of these in black, white, silver and silver glitter for $1.80USD each. They are so easy to use, you only need a single coat and they dry pretty quickly. There is a massive range of colours to choose from and at that price why not give them a try?

I did these vine designs using a cheap pale pink polish and the black and silver glitter L.A. Colors Art Deco Nail Lacquer. I took these photos before cleaning up the edges around my nails oops lol. Hope you like it!

Melting...

Boy do those ice cubes look good... We are having an absolute scorcher of a day. Today the temperature reached a maximum 45 degrees (celsius)! I've been lazing around the house all day with the air con on and I am still melting. I watched the weather update before at 9:10pm and it was 39 degrees with no signs of cooling down until tomorrow night *sigh*

I love summer, but it's days like this when the heat just gets a tiny itty lil bit too much for me lol. Can't wait for the cool change to come through.

Sorry this post isn't very interesting. The heat's just getting to my brain so I can't function properly lol. I'll be back with a better post soon.

Hope the weather is much more forgiving where you guys are.

First ever Cherry Culture haul!

First of all...
Happy New Year!
Hope you all had an awesome time welcoming the new decade. 10 is my favourite number so I know this is going to be a great year for all of us =)

Well let's get into my haul hehe.



Overall I am very pleased with the products and service Cherry Culture provided. It took 2 weeks (from the day the payment was confirmed) to be delivered. Everything was nicely packaged with bubble wrap and paper and nothing was damaged. The only problem was that I had ordered a NYX Round Lipstick in Rose, instead they sent me Rose Bud. I emailed them and they replied within 24 hrs. They told me to keep the item and they promptly refunded the price of the lipstick. So it was all very quick and easy and virtually problem free =)

Hopefully I'll get around to doing some swatches soon.
