Red Cherry Lashes Haul

I know my last few posts have been very picture heavy...but here's another one lol.

Lately my best friend and I have been going to a fair few events and special occasions, and of course they go hand in hand with false lashes lol. So we ordered a bunch of Red Cherry lashes off Ebay. This was my first time trying this brand and I'm pretty impressed with the quality and the cheap price.

I ordered 5 pairs: #1, #82, #107, #118 and #510. Some of them were a bit of a miss for me but I'll go through in detail below.



#82
I was annoyed when I received these as you can see from first picture, my pair were faulty as a few of the lashes had been cut short, but luckily it's not very noticeable on. Anyway, I really like this pair. They are very fluttery and full. They are an even length the whole way across, just slightly shorter in the inner corner. They add great volume and length. But they can make your eye look a little heavy due to the evenness of the lashes the whole way across so be wary if you have smaller eyes.



#1
This pair is probably my favourite of the 5, a little ahead of the #82. It's a little more natural looking than the #82 since it's more sparse at the ends as opposed to being full from root to tip. These add plenty of volume since they're really full at the roots, and also make your eyes look more open as the longer/spikey lashes draw a line outwards.

Let me just preface the next 3 pairs with I'm not a huge fan of them because they are farrr too long for me. I do really like them in terms of their cut and shape. They all look very similar, kind of like super long versions of the #82. I probably won't wear any of them unless I trim them down.



#510
These are the shortest out of #510, #107 and #118. These might work for me...but that would be the absolute maximum length I would go. These would work better if you have larger eyes/longer lashes.



#107
These are a bit longer than the #510.



#118
These are the longest pair I bought. They really are crazy long. I would not be able to pull these off, they would be too disproportionate with my face lol. You can see just how long they are compared to #82 and #82 have very decent length. Note the #118 curls up a lot more too so they are even longer than what they appear in the photo below.

So a bit of a mixed bag, but that's what comes with ordering online. My best friend and I ordered 10 pairs between us and it came to about $2.60 a pair (including shipping), which is fantastic. If you wanted to buy a pair of similar quality here in stores, you would be looking at spending $10-15. I highly recommend #1 and #82.

Hope you're all having a great day.

21st Birthday Presents!

Had my last exam for the semester yesterday..FINALLY! This must have been the longest spanning exam period I've ever had.

Anyway...Just want to share what I got for my 21st. It's not everyday you get a bunch of amazing, expensive, awesome presents! All you Aussies out there would know that branded items cost so freakin much over here. So if you thought branded stuff was pricey where you're from...you clearly haven't been to Australia =P

First off I got this HUGE beautiful bouquet/flower arrangement of 21 red roses from my aunt. It doesn't look that big in the photo but omg it was a bitch getting in the car haha. You can see how high the green stalk thingies go.


I got a pair of Ray Ban aviators from my boyfriend. He has a black pair which he wears alllll the time, it's pretty much his trademark. So now I can match him haha. I believe the model is RB3025 001/51. They have gold frames and brown gradient/faded lenses. They look so sexy! Before these I never owned a good quality pair of sunnies. So, super excited about these! Can't wait for summer to show them off.


Next, my friends from uni bought me this Fossil watch (model:ES 2859). I'd been really wanting a watch and I was in love with the rose gold watch trend. I've been wearing this everyday since I got it! The official online photo of it, in my opinion, looks nothing like it. It is so much prettier in person. They also got me Gucci Guilty EDT. It smells so good! I'll probably do a review on this further down the track. The perfume, watch and sunnies look so cute on my dresser together lol Cute matching golden trio.



One of the presents I got from another aunt and her family was Dior J'adore EDP. I feel very fancy owning this haha. I smelt it in store the other day, it smells quite different to the scents I usually lean to, but I still like it, it's more of a spring/summer scent I think. I might wait til spring before I open it since I've got a couple of wintery scents I'm loving at the moment.
I got this Tiffany & Co necklace from my highschool friends (Pendant: Tiffany Locks Emblem Lock Pendant; Chain: Oval Link Chain 30inch). I think this lock is so cute. It's not your traditional Tiffany pendant nor is it your usual shaped lock. The chain is very unique too. It's a staple in my jewellery collection now.



From my best friend, I got a Tiffany & Co bracelet (Return to Tiffany Bead Bracelet). This is so pretty! It's delicate and dressy looking but at the same time I can layer it for more casual wear. I had seen this bracelet before and didn't think much of it. It just looked so simple. But it is just so gorgeous on. It also really suits my super skinny wrists lol. Love love.

I also got quite a few monetary gifts too...but no need to show those haha.

Anyway, I'm off to a good long sleep. Goodnight!

My 21st Birthday Bash

Hey guys!

The last month has been so crazy. I was stressing and freaking out so much about my 21st birthday party. I was basically the 21st version of bridezilla haha.

My birthday was actually on the 10th May but I had the party on the 14th and it was awesome! It was held at Coopers Inn (corner of Exhibition St and Little Lonsdale St) in one of the upstairs function rooms. There were about 40 guests. My favourite colour is pink so I made the dress code basically light pink, any light nude colours plus black and white, so I could stand out in my fuchsia dress =P The night started with finger food, followed by dinner, speeches, cake and of course a little dancing lol. It was an amazing night, everyone looked great, the venue was pretty, the food was yummy and filling and it was just amazing to be surrounded by all the people I care about most. I'm actually still suffering from 21st withdrawal...boo...lol

Anyway I thought I would share some photos from the night with you guys.


Mmm...black forest cake

I didn't really decorate the room much but I did decorate the tables. Each guest had a little name card. I scattered chunky silver glitter on each table as well as pale pink petals. I also placed an origami flower on each plate as well, but I don't have a photo of those. The petals and flowers took me forever to make...the days leading up to the party, I was making them while eating dinner, in bed, on the train...lol


My amazing boyfriend. His speech was so funny and romantic.



Thank you speech

Now that that's all done. For the next couple of weeks I'm going to be SUPER busy. I'm less than 1 week away from exams =S eep... So if I disappear off the face of the earth, you'll know why.
