Look at that pink pretty box. So bright and bold and a little flirty. Seriously my fully sick photography skills can't do this gorgeous box justice. I just love the shade. Wanna take a look inside my box? Sure you do! *DO NOT replace the word 'box' with any lingo for lady parts like I just did in my mind. It will take...
From previous posts, you might have realised that I lurve gardenia scents. If you haven't realised, go and read my gardenia based posts, because gardenia is da bomb. I'll wait. Anyway, I saw that through some sort of post-Christmas sales black witchcraft, Myers was selling Sohum purse sprays for around A$14, I nommed one in Grandiflora like a Surry Hills Instagramer on vintage...
Okay, I'll admit it. I got horribly sucked in by another OzSale.com nail polish sale and bought several (12!) bottles of Revlon and Sally Hansen lovelies at about $4 a pop. At that teeny weeny price I would have been basically losing money if I didn't buy them right? Right! Pretty colour, godawful nails Wind Fall is a gorgeous jade creme, with a...
G'day to every Bazza, Dazza and Sheila out there who is enjoying a patriotic sickie today. I worked today, but still feeling relaxed, especially with the real weekend popping up in about three hours. Even though I had a lazy Australia Day at home (movie, cider and a can of condensed milk), I still made up a green and gold themed lid for...
Let's not prolong the suspense. I love this lipstick. You probably already love this lipstick. My boyfriend doesn't like this lipstick, then again he doesn't like wearing lipstick full stop. He does however love it on me. A+ for penmanship It's a peachy nude shade with a great sheer but buildable coverage and a slight sheen. The SPF30+ makes it perfect for summer and...
The good news? According to the Puretopia Soft & Smooth Body Lotion tube, this "hydrating and skin plumping" formula is free of animal testing, synthetic fragrances, parabens, sulfate cleansers, artificial colours, propylene glycol, DEA, TEA and silicones. It also has a really nice lemon cream kind of scent, unusual for a natural body lotion. On second sniff, it actually smells a lot like lemon myrtle, with that sweet...
Chanel polishes are a cruel mistress. They look so alluring in their neat little bottle, so glossy, so pretty, so different. But as soon as I try to slick them on, they turn on me, pointing out all my nail insecurities, shimmer glinting sacastically. "You have manky cuticles!" they snigger. "There's weird ridges everywhere! How do you even get polish in your ear,...
Burberry launched their cosmetics line in Australia last year, and so far I've only heard good things in the way of quality, colour choices and pricing (for a high-end range). I picked up a Lip Cover in Golden Peach (shade No. 29) to test them out myself. Matching nails are a total coincidence The packaging is fantastic, it feels 'expensive' with a little...
Or how about parfum tragique? It sounds a little more fancy, mais non? Anyway, I had this conversation today with a coworker after a top up bottle of Gardenia by Elizabeth Taylor I'd ordered late last year finally arrived on my desk. CO-WORKER: So how many bottles of perfume do you have anyway? Like ten or fifteen? MICHAELA: Fifteen?! Oh...yeah, like about that...
We're all friends here right? I like you (thanks for reading my blog!), you like me (because you're reading my blog, right? RIGHT!) and I feel that I can be really honest with you. Y'know just really open up and share my feelings. Mostly my feelings on Tom Ford. I mean,I love the guy! I love his suits on my tv boyfriends (Paul...
Two of my favourite things are travelling and perfume. Sadly the two don't seem to mix, as the many shattered,chipped and split bottles I've sent straight to scent heaven (or in the Paris Hilton I was rocking aged sixteen's case,down to the third ring of hell. Yeech!) can attest to. I know there's travel bottles, but I have a few and they always seem to wiggle out...
