Fossil Stella Watch - Rose

I'm so happy to own this new watch :) I've been wanting a new watch forever, and I was originally lusting over Michael Kors.

Did you know Fossil designs and manufactures watches from Michael Kors, DKNY, Burberry, Diesel, Marc Jacobs and more? 

I settled for the Fossil watch because I knew it was the same craftsmanship as MK, but without the hefty price tag for the brand name ;)

Cute metal vintage box for my watch.

Ta-da!! It's a boyfriend style chunky watch :) It's 37mm across. 

I love how it has the sparkly dial. It gives it a feminine touch, which I like!

Since I'm old now, I need an adult watch. LOL yay!

I'm not used to pulling out my phone to look at the time and I feel weird when I look at my wrist and my watch isn't there, haha.

Do you guys wear watches? 

Princess Mimi Sesame Grey Lens

My new favourite pair of circle lens! They're part of the Princess Mimi Bambi Series which also have Green and Brown.

I love that they have such a dolly effect with its thick black outer rim. The diameter is 15mm, so it does make your eye appear larger.

It looks kind of scary by itself in the actual contact case but it's not that bad once you wear them. It reminds me of asian cartoon characters with those big pretty eyes that sparkle.

This is the promo pic...it really attracted me cos of how pretty her eyes are! Ah advertisments.

You can definitely tell which side is supposed to be facing outwards. That's one thing I like about these lens cos I can actually tell which way is the right way. With some of the other lenses, the only way I can tell is if I put them in my eye and then it doesn't sit right and when I blink it keeps moving up and down and it's really irritating. And that's really annoying cos then your eyes go all watery and then you have to try flip them the other way and try put it back in your eye. Such a hassle :(

2nd pic: Both lens in in natural light

3rd pic: Both lens in direct flash

As you can see, the colour is really vibrant in flash but also noticable but not too in-your-face in natural lighting. That's what I love about these. Comfort level is really good. Despite the 15mm size, I didn't find any irritation or discomfort. I haven't worn these for a long period of time yet, but they are comfortable, really.

And depending on your make-up, you can also make these "dolly" lens look sexy for a night time look!

Sorry for all the close up shots, I'm still learning how to use a slr n_n"

So main points from this blog post is:

- They're pretty

- They're comfortable

YAY :)

Nude Lipstick: Sportsgirl & Face Of Australia

Hey all!

Today I'm going to be showing you two nude lipsticks that I own and comparing the colours.

Sportsgirl Pout About It Lip Colour- All About You

Face Of Australia Moisturising Lipstick - Lychee Crush

L: SG All About You

R: FOA Lychee Crush

Top: SG All About You

Bottom: FOA Lychee Crush

Both are super affordable, retailing at less than $10 each. 

I always tend to apply lip balm before I apply any lipstick because my lips are always chapped and ugly skin things appear VERY visibly if I just apply the lipstick by itself. So ugly :(

Sportsgirl's All About You is a nude, more leaning on the coral peachy side. I do believe it is a matte texture when you apply it without a lipbalm, but there's still a little shine. I quite like this nude, it doesn't really wash me out, however it does accentuate the dry parts of my lips. 

Face Of Australia's Lychee Crush is more of a light pink nude, not completely nude, but not completely pink. It's very moisturising and glides easily on your lips. It also has SPF30+.

I'm not sure if Sportgirl's lipstick ($9.95)  is still in store, because I actually got this last year from a friend, but I do know that FOA's Lychee Crush ($9.45) is still readily available in Priceline, Big W and selected retailers.

Nubar - 2010

This was last weekend's nails which I didn't get around to posting. Thanks Amanda! :)

Yay flakies!

Nail polish flakies like these only look good with a dark dark background. Doesn't even work on bright red. Almost black nail polishes make the flakies stand out.

Excuse the state of my skin and nails, horrible :(

Glossybox AU - February 2012 (Valentines Day Edition)

Hii!

My February Glossybox arrived this morning, which was a pleasant surprise (even if it was an 8am wake up call) since I didn't get a tracking number for it. And if you're wondering why I didn't review last months' Glossybox, it's because I actually unsubscribed. But Groupon had an offer for this month's "limited edition" box for only $7, which is less than half price, so I thought, hey why not.

The box was a bright hot pink, perfect for the Valentines Day theme. And I love these boxes, you can use to them store nail polish (it's the perfect size) or even as a gift box. 

When I first opened the box, I was met with a strong scent, that wasn't unbearable, but noticable, which turned out to to be the Shower Gel in A Sponge. It was a brand and product that was completely new to me, so I'm keen to try this out. I love how it's in a heart shape, so cute! And it's actually the size of the box. Pretty big.

The second thing that caught my eye was these parrots haha.

If you look closely at the bottom of the square, in white writing, it says 12 Emergency Cushioned Nail Files. 

It's so cute! Tiny little nail files for you to chuck in your bag/wallet and those days where you chip your nail you can just bring these little things out and use them! So cute, seriously. 

I received my very first e.l.f. product! It's this candy pink lip gloss, which smells amazing, sweet and fruity, but it has glitters, and I'm not really a fan of glitter on my lips, unfortunately.

Other items I received was a sample size of Proactiv's Deep Cleaning Wash  (60mL) which apparently works great to penetrate pores and get rid of breakouts. It says it works on the entire body as well as your face.

And also, my favourite lip balm to date, the Carmex Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm. I'm glad I have a back-up cos I've used a lot of my other one which I received at last year's ABBW (part 1 & part 2).

Ooh and cute little heart shaped lollies! They're exactly like these little candies I used to eat when I was little...what was it called again? The colourful ones with the hot pink wrapper and there was like 10 of them inside in a roll thing. And it looks like round tablets but they were kind of sour-ish.

Ok I went and googled it. These! Wow I haven't had these in ages. Except the one I just ate just then. The heart candy I mean.

So overall the box...was pretty decent! It didn't blow me away, though. The only product I didn't like was the lipgloss, which was sad because that was my first e.l.f product :( I saw some reviews of the other boxes that people got and other people got nail polish from Polished London, and a sample of Bobbi Brown's mascara! 

If I got those products in my box then this box would be 5/5 :)

Thanks for the positive comments on my vlog! n___n

I'll try my best to vlog more hehe.
