Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Last night we did ours in style and hit up one of the local nightclubs - was a really fun night and a there were a heap of great costumes.

As for mine, I was inspired as sort of a "Punk Vampire" but when it came to the last final touch, the fangs, I decided to opt out because they just didn't fit over my canine teeth. So instead I just was a freaky punk chick with white eyes.

O.M.G - to get these contact lenses in was an absolute mission! Took about, what? An hour? And about a bazillion pokes in the eye? Haha all very worth it though in the end - totally transformed the look from being somewhat average. First time with using them and loved it. I'm already thinking about the next colours I want to get :)

Back to Origins

And today I just couldn't help myself - caught a glance of my reflection in the mirror at work today and just about screamed ^o^

I looked more closely at my skin and came to the realization that, yes - I am becoming old an wrinkly :( Starting to see the "small" signs of aging, especially the worry lines on the forehead and under eye circles... which surprisingly have become a lot more transparent since starting my full time job in April (and not from the late, late nights spent at Uni). So what better time to act than the present! Lets lather up and start smearing on the potions and lotions. Full review to come out in about a months time.

Stolen Make Up Bag - Finally Restored

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, my make up bag was stolen from work and I've only just now pretty much replaced the whole thing. What.An.Effort.

While I must admit the whole shopping every weekend for the past three weekends has been pretty fun - its taken a serious hit on the old bank balance!

Thank goodness its over!

Now onto the reviews after this last haul post :)

Massive Makeup Shopping Haul

As mentioned previously, last week (or was is the week after?) someone "permanently borrowed" my make up case. Hence this weekend was spent replacing what I had lost ... :( while it was fun to get new products, it was a very expensive exercise and one that I would not wish to repeat often. One lady from work even suggested that you can actually insure your make up? I.e put it on your home contents insurance? Not a bad idea! I'm going to look into this when I actually get a permanent place to live.

Anyways, please see below for my new precious babies :)
