We <3 KA'OIR Cosmetics

So I discovered this brand Ka'Oir (pronouned Kay-Or) when I was looking at Snooki's Facebook page. Yes, I like Snooki and yes I like Jersey and Geordie Shore!!

The colours in the range are in your face, eye catching, vivacious colours that make you stand out in any crowd! I absolutely love the range and wish I could wear the colours in my every day life. I couldn't really tell you how this...

...would go down in the office. Should I try it?

To be honest, I would love to buy all the colours but realistically, I don't think I would wear all of the colours. I guess if I'm really game, then I would want every lipstick to match a certain piece of clothing. Who knows I might do it!

So, right now there are specials at Ka'Oir where if you buy 4 products out of the Lipsticks, Lip pops or Eyeshadow it will cost $54 in total. Thought this was a good deal to mix and match want you like. You can even buy every single item in the the different ranges and save on the total cost as well.

The reason why I was attracted to Ka'Oir as well was because of Snooki's signature lipstick:

Her lipstick is a baby pink girly lipstick and very Snooki! She named it Snookilicious. I like it! I think her lipstick is more "normal" in comparison to the other items on offer.

So check out the website here or just click on any of the pictures :)

I think this cosmetics range is perfect for any party lover or any bubbly, funky, out there girl! or guy if you fancy make-up! The range is not tested on animals and advertises that the products go on smoothly with no chapping. I want to put in my order when Snooki's lipstick is available on August 13th.

Have fun with it!

Etude House - Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk RD304

My good friend came back from Manila and bought me some Etude House products.

My first review is of Dear My Blooming Lips -Talk  RD304.

Whenever I used the rear facing camera, it kept making the colour look like a coral lipstick but it is far from it. This is why I edited the above pic to reflect the lipstick's true colour.

I interpret the colour as a hot pink red lipstick. It is bold, bright, fun and girly all at the same time. It works well for Asian skin as the products are made in Korea. That's not to say it wouldn't work well with other skin tones, but the colour combined with my skin, did not look overpowering and matched with just black eyeliner, made my look seem classic and simple.

To be honest, I find it hard to pull off any form of red lipstick. It is an art to find the perfect piece that you feel comfortable wearing but also compliments your features. I think why I like this shade so much is because of the hot pink tinge and I like hot pink lippies.

This pic makes the lipstick seem like a peachy pink colour. This was just in a room with natural light. So I tried direct sunlight and the results turned out like this:

The reason why the pic is blurry is because I was using the front facing camera on my iPhone. The rear facing camera did not capture the colour of the lipstick - it kept making it look like a dull pastey coral. This pic truly captures the colour. It looks like a hot pink red right? Well, that's how I see it.

I like this lipstick because it goes on smoothly with no cracking. You can feel your lips being moisturized and wears really well. You don't need to reapply too much to get the colour you need and it evenly distributes on your lips. It finishes with a creamy texture and I felt that it did not dry on your lips. Plus, the packaging is so cute! I don't even want to throw the box out because of how dainty and girly it is. Haha!

All in all, I am a convert to Etude House and am now looking into Asian make-up products to see how they fair on my skin. I want to see if Asian products work well for my Asian skin or if mainstream brands here in Australia are just as complimenting. We shall see :)

So, to buy these products, there is no direct link for Australia on the Etude Website.

I found this particular site from a seller in Australia: Pink Sakura. This website is great because they offer free shipping for orders over $50 and also sell other Asian manufactured beauty and cosmetic products.

For international customers:

Cosmetic Love

Colorful Circle

BBCream Boutique

And you can always trust Amazon ;)

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!

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!
