My latest want is this gloriously vibrant blush from MAC. It's from their Christmas collection, A Tartan Tale and it's called Her Blooming Cheek and I love it. Obviously a shade to use with a light hand but still. So V.pretty.

Today I brought these AMAZING ecotools makeup brushes and I could not be more pleased with them. They are bamboo handles with recycled aluminium and synthetic bristles. Perfect. They are SO soft and lovely plus they're cruelty free. I would recommend these to anyone. In fact I'm already planning on purchasing more.

I very nearly had a heart attack yesterday when I found out that American cosmetics company Urban Decay had teamed up with Disney to create an Alice in Wonderland eyeshadow pallet. It is GORGEOUS!




I know some of you are probably wondering how I didn't know about this sooner but you have to remember that I'm an Australian girl. We don't have Urban Decay over here and much to my dismay the official website doesn't ship internationally. Such a shame. The Urban Decay website is actually sold out of the Alice pallet at them moment anyway. I've already looked it up on ebay and I'm thinking of getting one but they all seem to be about $200-$300 which I really can't afford. It's actually quite ridiculous really considering it was only $52 USD's to begin with...


But I'm going to think it over some more and continue researching because I desperately want this beautiful piece of marvelry. It's just too too wonderful.

Recently I stumbled across a fantastic product. Vintage Sister lip balm.

I know lip balm doesn't seem all that exciting but this balms are uniquely lovely. They come in adorable little tins with a different cute design on each one plus they're extremely moisturizing but the thing I really LOVE about them is the limited edition seasonal flavors.

Each spring, summer, autumn and winter they bring out some of the most amazing flavors.

I'm in love with the current Christmas batch. Some of my favourites are -


You can only buy these little darlings at www.vintagesister.com and they are so worth it, I can't even tell you how much.

I've been on a bit of a makeup kick of late. Doing a lot of looking around and seeing what become available since last I looked and one thing that I have to say I'm actually quite appalled with these lip glosses...

They're from purple lab and they're lip plumpers which I don't overly agree with in the first place. If for some reason you don't know what lip plumpers are then they pretty much do what they say. The have active ingredients which give your lips that bee stung look. Which I guess is good for those of us out there with incredibly thin lips but for the most part it seems unnatural and maybe just a little bit damaging to me.

But the thing that I'm really disgusted with about these lip products is they have included an appetite suppressant right in the gloss. Honestly what the hell do they think they're playing at? I completely disagree with weight loss fads and gimmicks. If you want to loose weight eat less fried foods and go for a god damn walk.

This product is wrong in my opinion but I'd be happy to listen to other peoples perspectives.

Most of us out there have heard of the makeup brand, Max Factor, "the makeup of makeup artists" blah, blah, blah but how many of us actually realised just how awesomely historic this brand is?

Max Factor was the makeup classic Hollywood stars swore by. Marilyn Munroe used nothing but and the forever lovely Judy Garland lent her image to their advertisements.

Max Factor is said to have coined the term, Make-up. I mean, come on! That's pretty damn impressive if you ask me.

Know what else Max is attributed with?

The invention of both lip gloss and water proof mascara! Why, those are practically the best friends of every makeup toting girl out there!

Why didn't we know these things!? it seems wrong somehow.

Max Factor has slowly been losing popularity since the beginning of the millennium, according to sales figures.

I for one am sad to see this happen. I plan to stick by Max Factor now that I know the truth. I've already checked out their website and am currently planning my next makeup purchase.
