How sweet is this striped tube of lolly-inspired joy?! It makes my teeth ache just looking at it. Lancome's Le French Touch Lipstick employs several of my favourite tactics - pretty packaging, prettier pink insides and le word 'le' used in le name. Le yay! It applies sheer, but can be built up to amp up the pink. The above swatch shows a...
Aren't feet gross? My feet especially. They are a whopping size 11 and all kinds of wide and finger-toed. I also have pretty rough skin from daily abuses like high heels, playing sports and stubbing my toes on the damn coffee table ultra-marathons. Not even a very accepting foot fetishist could love my baby dolphin sized stompers. I'm always keen to try something...
Peeping at my bottle of Revlon's Midnight Affair, it looks like a nice glossy dark blue with a slight shimmer, right? You'd think so, but it just so happens that Revlon apparently has a deep dark grudge against me and my nails and was waiting for just the right time to strike. Just waiting, watching, judging... SOOOOOOOOOOOOON Firstly, here are my nails with...
Today I've got a guest post up on Makeup Utopia showing my favourite make-up look for going from office to afterwork drinks to making bad decisions in a bar at 3am. Scoot your tooch over here to check that out. In other news, I'm obsessed with Call Me Maybe. I know, I know, but aside from being a total earworm it's also so meme-appropriate....
Another day, another Gorilla Perfume by Lush that I fancy the pants right off of. Breath of God is inspired by traditional Nepalese temples and this comes through in the use of smoky incense and damp earth notes that the scent is based around. It opens with a warm rockmelon and almost medicinal note - think a slice of melon rubbed down with...
So we're all tried dry shampoo by now, right? Right! And we know it's super nifty for when you want to get rid of sweaty, greasy roots and can't be fricked actually washing your hair post-work out/four day bender/coitus or during that first and last time you go camping, right? Right! But, sometimes my hair feels a little, well, crispy after using dry...
A super duper speedy nail of the day for y'all tonight*. Obviously I'm having a bit of a cheap thrill kick this week, after my last post on Ulta3 eyeshadow. Mode nail polishes clock in at teenie weenie A$2.45 each, as do the rest of the products made by the brand. This includes foundation, eyeliner and all kinds of el cheapo goodies. I'd...
I'll admit I wasn't super interested in trying anything from Ulta3. This is because I can be a snob and I think things like "My precious eyelids are way too sensitive for something that costs less than a bag of hot chips. Begone, cheap and nasty, bring on the more suitable Giorgio Armani." Only the best for delicate flower Michaela. Not happening, Interwebs....
A girl on the M30 snuffled away next to me earlier this week. "You smell AMAZING!" she whispered. This is becoming a common scenario for me. Not because I totally kill with the public transport ladies, or because I have a lovely natural scent, a heady musk if you will. It's because I smelt like something comforting, something that she couldn't quite put...
