my health is failing me

I screwed up my toe and its not getting better. I pray that it does. If it can get better without medical help, I will believe there is a god, there is a miracle maker

Happy International Women's Day!

C'mon and inspire change

Favouriticisms I

 

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-purpose Dry Oil: It moisturises the skin without the greasiness of a traditional oil. It is on the slightlier pricey side at $39.95 AUD but its sheer versatility means you can use this on just about everything. Personally, I like to spray it on my neck and décolletage (chest area). It also smells like a dream and the scent lingers on pleasantly for hours so it doubles up as my everyday scent.

Lush Sea Spray: I actually got this as a Kris Kringle gift from a friend. this stuff smells amazing once you spray it onto your hair, adding a little volume and texture to your hair. It's great for a day when I'm lazy (which is most of the time) and I feel like sprucing things up a bit. (RRP 12.50 AUD)

Puretopia Soothing Mist and toner: the refreshing citrusy zing of this spray really does spritz me awake on a groggy day. The only downside is that there is such thing as over spraying and it can get a little sticky on the skin. It's paraben/ sulphate free, not tested on animals and for all you sensitive skin people out there, there's no alcohol :) (14.95 AUD)

Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Moisturiser: I love this stuff. I got it in a travel size but I will definitely repurchase when I finish using this up. Its really light and cooling on the skin and it has no fragrance.  As the brand suggests, this is a simple moisturiser; it doesn't boast any miraculous properties and its great on the go. (9.99 AUD)

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer: This might be sold as an under eye concealer but who cares! I use it on my aggressive red spots when I can bothered and it works a charm. The coverage is great and the medium shade matches my tanned yellow undertone skin well.

Smith's Rosebud Lip Salve: The multipurpose balm claims to help with blemishes, detergent burn etc. but personally I just use it to soothing moisturising my lips. I've tried the famous chap sticks and lucas pawpaw ointment both of which I think is overhyped. For those of you who don't like sticking your finger in it's goodness, it is also available in a tube form and in tinted varieties. (10 AUD)

Winter: Eye Like It

It also comes with a sizeable mirror and 2 shadow applicators

I had been previously conflicted over whether I to purchase this eye shadow palette, repeatedly searching it up only to find reviews on its sister palette (a great review here: http://www.labmuffin.com/2014/01/sportsgirl-eye-like-it-palette-review.html).

On my  mini adventure to Officeworks with two of my friends with the express purpose of buying stationery supplies, I couldn't resist submerging into the energetic vibes of the nearby Sportsgirl store.  I took one look at it, asked for my friends' opinion and caved. I bought it!



The SPORTSGIRL WINTER EYE LIKE IT PALETTE has intriguing floral cardboard packaging is quite sturdy with the classic magnetic lid to prevent damaging the gems inside. For those of you who love depotting; it will be a breeze. From what I can see, the shadows are glued to the foam backing of the package so it shouldn't be too hard to pull off. However, caution to the butter fingers out there (like me), continuous dropping of the shadows with the lid open (you never know) may result in the detachment of shadows from its packaging. That should be too much of a concern though because:

The colour and quality is beautiful :) You could go as far as saying that this palette is rather Urban Decay Naked Palette inspired. Considering the fact that the $14.95 AUD eye shadow palette has 12 shimmery neutrals, it is a HUGE bargain in comparison to most other makeup available in Australia.




Yes, I apologise in advanced- the picture is upside down and the lighting isn't great

Overall, they are quite pigmented (some more so than others and I didn't use a primer), smooth and fairly easy to work with. I have tanned skin so some of the colours don't show up as obviously me as they would on paler girls. I would especially recommend this palette for anyone who wants wearable yet versatile shades or prefer makeup that is not tested on animals. And yes, the palette might not have an assortment of mattes, glitters, shimmers etc. but for everyday or a night out look, this palette should work fine.

Just in case you're interested too and remember that theses palettes tend to be limited edition so hurry: http://www.sportsgirl.com.au/beauty/eyes/winter-eye-like-it-bronze-all

Supremo Burger?

Had Nandos for the first time today after my English Exam. Had a $10 supremo burger.
It was... so so

I would buy a cardiovascular inducing Macdonald's cheeseburger over this any day.

Since I'm allergic to the idea of taking pictures of food, so I'm going to paste a picture from the internet: Imagine this
