Electric Blue!!

Electric Blue, not an eye Shadow colour I normally lean towards but for my outfit on Saturday night I thought it was the perfect way to spice up my Little Black Dress (LBD). As you know I would normally team this with a smokey eye or my signature Emerald green look, but for this occasion I thought I would try something different. My outfit for Saturday night was a very simple black dress, this is why I wanted to go dramatic with my hair and makeup.

 

 

The following products were used to create this look

Bh Cosmetics 88 Shadow palette

Maybelline Colour Tattoo- in Electric blue

Napoleon Perdis loose dust in - Blue number 29

NYX- Frosted Ocean

Wet n Wild Coloricon in - Blue

Mac paint pot- Black

MUA- Lashes

 

And these products where just for the eyes. This look took me around 45 minutes but was well worth the effort. One tip I would suggest when doing a dramatic eye like this is to start with the eyes first, just in case there is any fallout. I also tapped sticky tape under my eye, to help remove the glitter and eyeshadow fallout. This also helps make a perfect line from the end of my lashes to the end of my brow.

For my hair I used good old fashion Hot Rollers. For me this is the best way to get big, bouncy, Victoria Secret Curls. To create the extra volume I teased my hair before putting in the rollers. I have found by completing this step first it doesn't wreck the curls afterwards.

New Hair

Let me just start by saying WOW! I couldn't believe how long I had left my hair for!

I am very lucky when it comes to my hair. I don't have to style it to much and when it comes to dying it the colour seems to stay in longer than others. This time though I had hit a new extreme, I am embarrassed to say this, but it was literally 4 months since I had dyed my hair last. Yes 4 months not a typo. Anyways I didn't really notice that it had changed so much but when I did dye it I was amazed. I am loving my new colour and I promise I will NEVER let it get that bad again!

So I thought I would show you some of the steps and products I use to dye my hair. Because I do a all over colour and do not do highlights ect I have started doing it myself. The reason for this is that in Australia a quality cut and colour can cost anywhere from $150.00 to $350.00. This way I go to my local hair store "Price Attack"(like a Sally's for the USA girls) and get the products I need to do it myself. The funny thing is that it only costs me $30.00 using the same products that my hairdresser uses! I know why wouldn't I right. From my experience and talking to friends this is a much better way than buying the DIY boxes that you can purchase at supermarkets. I have heard that the box sets don't last long in your hair maybe 3 to 5 weeks tops, and can damage your hair more than at the salon.

So far so good, I am really happy with the results.

OOTD

Ok so I thought I would do a quick outfit of the day today! This is just a semi, casual outfit for a busy day of running around and seeing friends. The thing I love about this outfit is that it looks well put together and is a versatile outfit. It’s perfect to go to the shops in or I love that you can throw on a pair of heels and some more accessories and you immediately have a dressy night look. In spring and summer I love to wear bright pops of colour and beautiful bold prints. This colour is gorgeous I love the pink shade and the gold details of the buttons; it’s such a signature piece of my wardrobe.  

 

 

Ring: Lovisa

Shirt: Forever New

Skirt: Kmart

Saturday Shopping

Naturally I am a sucker for beauty magazines and advertising, so when my weekly delivery of junk mail showed up to my house I was a very happy girl. My favourite department store here in Australia is Myers and I received their beauty mag with lots of new products and some things I have been eyeing off for quite some time now. I immediately called my girlfriend to arrange a shopping day on Saturday. Of course I was ecstatic about this soon to be shopping spree, but my bank account wasn’t. We spent most of Saturday walking through our fav shopping centre trying out and seeking for new products and new outfits to put together.

 As many of you would have seen from my wish list post there were some things I had wanted to purchase and try, I was so happy that I got to get the Million by Paco Rabanne perfume I had wanted. I couldn’t stop thinking about it; it was truly love at first smell, lol.I was lucky I picked up some other bits and pieces, but my friend Pauline who came with me really got some amazing bargains. There are so many sales on here in Australia because its coming into the hotter months, many stores are getting rid of their winter stock to make room for all the spring and summer fashion, it was a perfect chance to pick up some sale items.

 

 

 

Lovisa had a 3 for $10.00 sale so I purchased 6 items all but 1 being rings and 1 necklace. I couldn’t believe the prices as some of these rings originally were $14.99 each I really could miss up this opportunity.

I have wanted a pair of these sunglasses ever since I saw Alex from HRH Collection wearing them. I opted out of spending $400.00 dollars on a pair of designer ones as I think this will be a fashion that goes quickly. So when I spotted them in Dotti (a clothing store here in Aus) I was delighted, especially because they suited my face well and were only $20.00!

Oh course I couldn’t go shopping without a trip into my favourite drug store Priceline! I didn’t purchase much here this time but I did buy a Australis Concealer that Pauline had suggested.

I did for once buy something other than accessories, I know shock and horror right! It wasn't much but I purchase this beautiful peplum top by Jag and a simple black dress from Miss Shop both from Myers.

 

Thanks for viewing my blog! I have heaps of new blogs ready to put up, which will be going up after Monday next week. This weekend I am going on a mini getaway with friends so check out my instagram and future blog posts for OOTD

Makeup Obsessing!

So lately I have been obsessing over some makeup and beauty products I have wanted to try out for quite some time now! The problem is that of course most of these items are higher end products, with a higher end price tag. Therefore I can't go out and grab them all! Well certainly not in Australia as the prices here are about 3 times the prices in America (not kidding) lol. Anyways I thought this would be a fun way to show you all the products I am wanting and hopefully over time I will get to try some of these items out and do some reviews!

 

The St Tropez Tan is supposed to be amazing! I have been wanting to try it out for so long now but with a $45.00 price tag I have never justified it.

I have used another primer by Napoleon and I loved it!! This product is really for me as this targets my number 1 problem area!

This product has been all over blogs and Youtube can't wait to try this out.

This was an accidental find I was looking for a new fragrance and stumbled across this, I think this is the top of my list!

My sister swears by this, for a full coverage foundation. It is quite expensive but it would last you a very long time.

I mean do I have to explain? these colour aghh !!!!

 

Wanting to switch up my cleansing routine thought this would be perfect!

 

Let me know if you have any wish list or products you are lusting over !!

 

Thanks for checking out my blog
