Hei my lovely readers, I really can't believe it's almost christmas soon and recently have been filling up my time with of course work and also with my international swaps.
If you do not know yet i have recently joined a facebook group which consists of amazing girls from all over France, Uk, US, Canada, Australia, Austria, etc..
What we mainlydo is posts and discuss about beauty related topics and also do makeup/beauty swaps among the members.
Here is a link to the group: Be a beauty Corrospondent
Come and check out the group as the girlsin the group are all amazing people.
Ok enough about my swapping and now onto my post. I just wanted to share with you guys what beauty items i bring or have at work on a daily basis. I do not like carrying much makeup stuff to work but i do bring the necessary items. Here is a picture of what i have at work.

 

As you can see i only bring very few essential items. list of items from L-R

1. Bourjois 3D effect lipgloss in rose polemic. (received this lovely lipgloss from Cecile one of my swap partners from France)

2. Mac lipstick in High tea (absolutely love the gold speckles in this neutral lipstick) this lipstick reminds me of a UNE lipgloss that i received from another swap from France

3. EOS lipbalm. if you do not know we can't get EOS in stores in Australia and i was lucky enough to receive this from Ashley in Canada

4. Burt's bees lipbalm (one of my favourite lipbalms) i know it's strange that i carry more than 1 lipbalm. I have a major lipbalm obsession

5. Heatcote and ivory honeysuckle hand cream from Target (this smells divine)

6. Australis fresh and flawless compact (i normally don't carry this but now that it's summer and really hot i really need this to touch up my oily skin)

7. Sportsgirl powder brush to apply my powder.

I hope you girls enjoyed my post and feel free to comment on on what are your daily essential items for work or school. Have a nice day.

Australis colour inject lipstick in ballet

Hei everyone, I am sorry for abandoning my blog and have not been posting anything. I have been really busy with work and also planning for my beauty swaps with various amazing girls from various countries. Today I got bored and decided to post a short swatch and review on an Australian cosmetic drug store lipstick that I am currently in love with. If you live in Australia I am sure you would have heard of the brand Australis and if you don't live in Australia Australis is an amazing drug store brand which is targeted at a younger crowd. They have several really good holy grail items in my opinion and if you watch my youtube videos you would have heard me talking about the Australis Fresh and flawless powder before which is a really great dupe to the M.A.C one. Anyway Australis has recently revamped their website and now offers customers the opportunity to purchase online and they ship Australia wide. link to their website: http://www.australiscosmetics.com.au/ I have had the lipstick for a while now and I actually have it in two shades Ballet and Mambo. On their website it shows that the Mineral injec lipsticks actually come in 18 shades which isn't too shabby for a drugstore line. Ballet is a soft version of a Barbie pink. It is very wearable on a daily basis. The texture of this lipstick is very smooth and glossy and doesn't dry out my lips.

They retail for $12.95 on the website but i would suggest waiting for Kmart or Priceline to have sales on them. Overall i would give it an A for value for money, texture and colour payoff.

current beauty wishlist

sorry i've been really busy with work and don't really have the time to update my blog but yeah first off all Happy 2012 guys and for those currently reading this hope you guys have a great year. Alright i do not make resolutions so of course this year yet again I have none but I currently do have some items that I am planning to get within the next few months. :)

1. Clarisonic Mia

I admit initially I never thought spending that much money on a facial tool was necessary but now i start to realise that cleansing my face just by my own hands isn't sufficient at all. Probably will get this at the end of the month so yeah look out for my review soon.



2. Urban Decay naked palette
I know practically anyone that loves makeup would have heard of this or even own it. I finally decided i might get one as i absolutely love neutrals and love that I could possibly use it almost everyday and create lots of beautiful eye looks :)

3. Armoire standing jewellery box
I hope to be way more organised this year with my makeup and jewellery and I have wanted something to store all my stuff in a good nice quality jewellery box and have not really found one till I saw this one that would suit my room, perfectly..

That's all for now will add more on soon..
