FOTD - Blue shadow
This is from a couple of weekends ago, I rarely get the chance to put my face on so figured I’d go wild with the blue shadow. It was meant to be mildly inspired by Mad Men’s Joan (season 5) but ended up being more like Endora from Bewitched.
Base - Skinfood Aloe Sun BB cream
Cheeks - MAC Ripe Peach
Lips - Revlon Sweet Tart lip butter
Eyes - Urban Decay Alice shadow, Face Of...

Revlon Lip Butters, First Impressions...
Soooo Priceline was having 2 for 1 at Priceline, at $21.95 a pop it’s woeful but when you’re getting one for free it’s a fair price :)
* Light vanilla scent
* Cute packaging
* Feels light on the lips, not sticky or heavy
* Nice range of colours available
Strawberry Shortcake, cool toned light pink, doesn’t do much for my complexion.
Sweet Tart, warm toned pink,...

Illamasqua Human Fundamentalism
It’s no secret that I love Illamasqua, their collections and vision are nothing short of inspired.
“Human Fundamentalism is the unique spirit and fundamental human drive for individuality. It’s a belief, a movement and an emotion. A connection with the spirit of the age and its global motifs. You are your own human hybrid, a unique nomad of street cultures and global trends.” Alex...

Wild Horses - Vero Moda
Soo suckered into et another ASOS sale, grabbed this dress I’d been eyeing off for the bargainous price of $32 (or close to)
This print is horses on a carousel
Which vaguely reminded me of one of my favourite Florence Broadhurst prints
Yeh nothing alike but hey it’s horses!

Glasses Shopping Hoorah!
I’m kind of going blind, not really but I can’t read street signs when I’m driving and well if you’re standing 20m away from me I can’t really make out what your face is, it’s oddly amusing at times. Anyways here’s the frames I settled on, one pair for regular wear, one pair prescription sunnies.
The sunnies will have darker, brown/grey polarised lenses...

The Last Unicorn - BPAL
A favourite film from my childhood, even as a little one I was drawn to the dark/mysterious/romantic, I mean my first fictional crush was David Bowie as the goblin king after all.
From the BPAL site
The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone. She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam, but rather the color of snow falling on...

Festive Friday
This morning we (miss 3, miss 5 and miss 11 weeks) tottered off to K-mart and Go-Lo and bought a heap of Christmas crap to make Christmas crowns…
I bought a mouldy avocado from Coles, and decided to eat it regardless, tasty.
I also bought this bread, because I wanted something toasty with low sugar…
It’s yummy, I could easily eat it all day, but I won’t.

Sunspirit Christmas Giveaway
I know how stressful Christmas can potentially be, so instead of reaching for your vices, whatever they may be (food, grog, psychotropic drugs) how about we all chill out with some aromatherapy instead.
The generous folk over at Sunspirit have asked me if I would like to give away four of their special aromatherapy Christmas packs, each worth $60 each - they include the Harmony essential oil...
