LBD OOTN

 

Last night was the customer service awards night for our company. It was amazing night enjoyed by all and I had a most enjoyable night. I didn't prepare a dress earlier so I was scrambling through my closet for something cocktail.

I forgot to do an Outfit of the Night video so here are some pics I managed to get. Sorry for any blurriness, I was slightly tipsy at this point.

But you will forgive me because the shoes are amazing!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I bought this dress for $10 from a Sydney Boutique that was closing down last year and the shoes I bought from Spendless Shoes for $29 a few years ago. I never wore the shoes until last night. I just liked them because they were pretty. Most of my accessories were $5 from Diva or 3 for $10 from Lovisa.

I think I did okay for someone who prepared last minute and all the pieces were things I already owned but may not have used :) I look a bit stumpy in the pictures but it really is the angle. I really am not short in real life and am of decent height.

Bye for now!

 

 

 

 

Maybelline Color Tattoo - Tenacious Teal

On another Priceline run, there was Maybelline Color Tattoos on special! Currently Maybelline is on a 3 for 2 special but I paid $7.95 on special. From memory it was $14.95 regular price I think!

Instantly drawn to this range, I thought I would check out what was on offer. I was tossing up between the purple and teal and decided on this deep, rich colour. I may go back and get the purple but haven't decided yet. I liked that the Tenacious Teal was still bright even as a darker shade.

Ok, so this isn't the best application and I sort of just rushed it on. It is a cream gel shadow and it is a lot brighter in person than in picture.

The model pic seems a little bit too bright in my opinion so it makes me think the below pic had some other colours blended.

Possibly I might have to add more of the cream gel on to get this effect but I believe some editing may have been involved with this pic too.

What's good about this product is that it does not crease like it advertises and has 24 hour wear. Not that you need to wear this for 24 hours.... I think it is just promoting that it's long lasting.

I like the Tenacious Teal because it's one of those electrifying colours. It stands out but also makes you look a bit more lively in the face.

I think with this colour you can go with simple nude lips or bright pink lipstick would really work too! This colour is versatile in that it's bright enough for summer but also great for an evening occasion.

We <3 Vanilla Frosting

I love Facebook ads. It gives you the opportunity to discover brands and websites based on your interests and likes.

This is how I found Vanilla Frosting.

Vanilla Frosting is a costume jewellery online store using sterling silver and precious gems to make classic pieces for any special occasion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is an Australian based brand and the pieces are quite elegant. I like how it sparkles! They mention on the website that their pieces are vintage inspired. I see the pieces with a pretty gown

They do international shipping and all the prices are in Australian dollars.

Check it out for your next party!

 

 

 

Hello Kitty - Majorelle Eyeshadow

I went into Priceline as I normally do every week to see what is on special.

What I found was that I got a free cosmetics bag if I purchased ANY Hello Kitty product. Awesome I thought!

So I purchased a compact mirror and an eyeshadow named Marjorelle. Please note these items can only be found in Priceline.

The eyeshadow is a deep blue glitter with a charcoal undertone. Here is a lame attempt at a picture of the eyeshadow:

I tried real hard to get the lighting right for this picture. The eyeshadow looks more charcoal grey in this picture. I can definitely say that when you put this on, it is a charcoal blue with glitter scattered across. No snapshot really captured the colour I found, so really sorry about that!

In the Hello Kitty range, they do mono as well as duo eyeshadows. The eyeshadow cost $9.95 and the compact mirror on my original picture cost $10. I believe other colours in the eyeshadow was light blue, purples, greens and pink.

I am really into deep blue at the moment and pairing it with hot pink, so this is why I bought this particular eyeshadow - to match with Hot Pink lipstick.

Always check out your local Priceline as you never know what freebie or bargain you can find :D

LiLi out!

 

 

 

Lush - Lust Solid Perfume

So made my way to Lush  - Garden City and was enriched by all the beautiful scents that filled the store. There are so many unique flavours to the creams, body washes, soaps and perfumes!

I was in a wonderland when I went in and I've been wanting these goods for a long time but never made the purchase online.

I've got to say my best purchase was the solid perfume that I bought in "Lust". It does come in a soap which I purchased as well and spray perfume or cream but I felt that the solid perfume was compact and easy to chuck in your handbag on the go.

It is a 12g stick and smells like a fresh bouquet of flowers! The scent is so strong on application but mellows over the course of the day - I love it! You are instantly hit with jasmine, roses, sandalwood and vanilla. It's perfection.

The great thing is that it's suitable for vegans. The perfume itself is made by Gorilla Perfume who have provided this scent through Lush. Check out their website here.

This cost $7.95 which I thought was quite cheap and it's convenient packaging means you can take it anywhere! I definitely recommend this product!
