the look for less

sounds good huh? :) I created a simple yet attractive look with just a tube top, a pair of shorts and a pair of pumps and guess what?? i achieved this look below AUD50 sounds great rite :)

from Top purple tube top SG$ 10 (bought in singapore), Black shorts AUD 10, pumps AUD 5

see how easy it is to create a look for less :)

MAC Vs Makeup store

GUYS when i say MAC what comes to mind??

IPOD, Notebook.........

NOOOOOO...

i'm talking abt MAC makeup haha

who ever told u that diamonds were girls best friends??

for me i would say it's the 2nd best cuz makeup is the best :)

so MAC as we all know the ever famous MAC cosmetics which are good in quality BUT high in price what u pay is what u get.. makeup store on the other hand is a swedish makeup brand similiar in quality to MAC i would say comparable not 100% the same yet lighter on the pocket :)

definiatly recommended if u r hesitating to that much on MAC

plus if u be a member for AUD 20 a year u will be able to enjoy a 10% discount on normal purchases and 20% during the members day.. how good is that? compared to MAC which never has discounts :)

here is the picture of the MAC eyeshadow that i have VS the makeup store one

yeah if u r wondering the MAC one is called PRINT and the makeup store one is in POLLUTION both suitable for the smokey eyes

and as u can notice the MAC 1 is smaller than the MAKEUP store one yet cheaper in price

so y not give it a try ? :)

oh ya

and if you are wondering where to get them makeup store is available at The Gardens at Mid valley and Pavillion..

while it is available at Broadway in Sydney :) go visit http://www.makeupstore.se/ to browse through their products.

Shopping for a good cause?

what comes to mind when i say shopping???

hurray it's shopping time :)

when is it never shopping time haha ladies i'm sure u just have to agree with me..

wana shop but tight on budget? or wanna shop but yet wana feel good and not guilty abt it?

here are some bargain deals that i found at a local store called Vinny's

for those of u who live outside Australia here is a lil info abt it:

it's a non profit organization that receives items such as clothes, shoes, books and appliances from the public and they sell them for charity

the revenue goes to various charity homes and welfare activities i.e battered women, child abuse etc.

ok here is what i bought just the other day. my great finds :)

two pairs of almost brand new shoes that fitted me perfectly 2 for only AUD 10

wow what a steal and i saw that the original price of the heels at the place where the owner bought it was AuD 40

white halter neck sun dress.. awww it was so cute that i just had to get it :) AUD 5

and again it was almost brand new

shopping yet guilt free :) remember it's for a good cause :P

if u r in Australia do check this place out u never know what u may find just like

me

L-R sun dress, cute bronze wedges and Black pumps

what would you take with u if u were stranded on an island

hmmmmmm ever wondered what would u take with you if u were to be stranded on an island?
