What's In My Bag | 2015

I thought I would mix it up a little today and talk about what's in my bag at the moment. It was time for a new bag since I'd had my last one for about six months. That probably doesn't sound like a long time for some but I work in a bag shop and am surrounded by them all the time so I'm always seeing new ones I want!

This is one of the new releases Colette by Colette Hayman and it's priced at $54.95. It's called the Plate Double Zip Tote. They've never done this style before and they've done so well with it. It's got one main pocket in the middle and then two zip pockets on either side as well as the standard little zip compartment and phone compartments on the inside. 

Firstly, I have my wallet. It is also from Colette by Colette Hayman and was part of their leather collection they did late last year. 

Secondly, I've got a little makeup bag from Colette that contains bobby pins, hair ties, Australis Fresh & Flawless Pressed Powder, Nivea Lip Butter in Vanilla & Macadamia, Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya, Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub and the Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Pop in Pink Shock. Just a few everyday necessities. 

Lastly, I've just got a handy packet of Nurofen, some chewing gum and a Rexona deodorant. The great thing about buying a new handbag is clearing out all the junk you had in your last one!

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

The all hyped up Naked 3 Palette by Urban Decay came into my possession at Christmas. I actually had no idea that I was going to get this but I was so ridiculously stoked about it. 

The palette is a beautiful rose gold tin with Naked 3 Urban Decay imprinted on the front in gold. Inside are 12 lovely shadows and a double ended eyeshadow brush. I have actually been quite impressed with the quality of the brush and use it quite frequently. 

There shadows range from lighter pinks to darker browns with pink undertones. I would say all but one are super pigmented and easy to wear and blend. The colour Dust is the biggest let down as it is very glittery and prone to a lot of fallout because of it's consistency. The matte shades in the palette are Strange, Limit and Nooner and all three are beautiful to help blend out everything. My favourite colour would have to be Buzz which is a metallic pink shade with a hint of copper. 

(L to R: Strange, Dust, Burnout, Limit, Buzz, Trick, Nooner, Liar, Factory, Mugshot, Darkside, Blackheart)

All up, I would highly recommend this palette. I have had so much fun playing with this and creating heaps of different eye looks. I can already tell this will be some of my most used eyeshadows for the year!

Have you got this palette? What do you think of it?

Kit Plump Pucker Pout set

For Christmas, my girlfriends and I continued our little Kris Kringle tradition. My best friend got me in the pick and as she knew about my love for makeup, she went to Mecca Cosmetica and picked up the Kit Plump Pucker Pout set. (She also really wanted me to blog about these!) 

The set contains four limited edition lip glasses, each a different colour/finish. The names of them are Clear Glass, Tint Glass, Shimmer Glass and Bold Glass. 

Clear Glass is just a plain clear gloss, Tint Glass has a slight peachy colour to it, Shimmer Glass has a very sheer hint of pink with shimmer through it and Bold Glass is a beautiful watermelon shade. All except Bold Glass have a minty scent to them and seem to plump up your lips a little when applied. Bold Glass seems to have a peach smell (I think). They all seem to be slightly sticky but that's what I've come to expect with any gloss.

This set has all the gloss colours you would need to complete any look and are all the perfect size to pop straight into your handbag or clutch for any occasion. I would definitely recommend these to all lipgloss lovers!

What I Got For Christmas 2014

Well hello friends! Long time no chat! Christmas has quickly come and gone for another year and I can't believe what a year it has been! I've seen lots of 'What I Got For Christmas' videos on YouTube so I thought I would do a post about what I got this Christmas. 

To begin with, my boyfriend got me the most amazing two presents. Number one was The Sims 4. I have been a devoted Sims fan ever since it came out in the year 2000. Yes, I'm a bit of a dork but I couldn't care less! =P The second present he got me was.. wait for it.. The Urban Decay Naked 3 Eyeshadow Palette. I was so excited like you wouldn't believe. He's lucky enough to have a sister who lives in San Francisco who was able to send it over. I can't express my love for it enough!! 

My mum was so generous as well. The first thing I received was the Benefit Hoola Bronzer which I have been eyeing off for so long. It's as good as it's talked up to be. The second was two MAC lipsticks in the shades Show Orchid and Rebel. Show Orchid is definitely my new favourite lipstick! She also was lovely enough to buy me a new perfume. She got me Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs. Honestly, Marc Jacobs can do no wrong with their perfume bottles. They are absolutely gorgeous. 

I was also lucky enough to be given a little makeup storage unit from my family KK. I was literally talking about buying one the day before and then my wish came true, so to speak. It's just got two wider draws on the bottom, two half draws next to each other above that and then storage for lipsticks and bits and pieces on the top.

I could not be more grateful for all I received and I hope everyone had the most amazing Christmas. I spent the day with family with lots of food and laughter and enjoyed every second of it. Here's to 2015!

Long awaited return...

I'm not too sure how many have actually realised I've been a little MIA lately but I will be back! I work in retail management so I've been extremely busy the past few weeks. Rest assured though, I will be back in full force in about a week or so when I finally go back to my regular hours. 
I've really missed blogging so I'll have lots to talk about once I get back into the swing of it. 
Can't wait till then! xx
