Still tossing up whether I should invest in a pair of these or to buy some dupes and ride off this trend....Have any of you guys committed?

Let's be honest, this will probably be my next designer handbag purchase. Ever since I tried it on in the store a year and a half ago, I still can't get it outta my head.

Here's to a new year, new decade, new bag, new me.

I picked up the Tarte Pretty Paintbox Collector's Makeup Case ($84) when I was up in Sydney last week. Thought it would be a good kit to take around when I travel and the Pucci-esque case is so cute! I'm still experimenting with it at the moment but have you guys used Tarte products before?

I was just looking at my blog statistics and many of my readers are from France!!!! I'm so flattered. I just want to take a moment and say Bonjour to you guys, I appreciate you so much for continuously coming back.

These apricot suede mules are currently zooming their way across the internet and into my lap soon. Is anyone else into this mule trend at the moment? I remember the last time I wore mules was the year, 2001, and they're making quite a comeback. I got mine here, get them quickly, they're selling out fast.

Went for a walk in my neighborhood today and stumbled upon this glorious sight. The photo doesn't do it any justice. You just have to see the real thing.

Hey guys, I got a fresh new gel mani today and tomorrow I'm off to Fiji for a well-deserved holiday! 

See you!!!

colourpop

Hey guys, it's been awhile I know. I feel like I've been in limbo for the majority of this year. I moved to Wagga for an extended period of time but thankfully I'm back home now. Hopefully more permanently...

I ordered some Colourpop cosmetics from the US and it's finally here, I felt like the shipping took absolutely ages! Has anybody tried Colourpop? Do you guys want a haul?

The Reveller Hip saddle bag by Mimco was a christmas present to myself! I love the gold clasp detail at the front sooooooo much.

Hey guys. Did you have a good New Years? I spent the New Years viewing the new Star Wars movie and stayed in on the 31st to watch The Walking Dead season six. Overall, a very chill way to start 2016.

Merry Christmas 2015

Hey guys!

I hope you all had a great Christmas and spent it surrounded with loving family and friends. I sure did! 

I know I haven't been the best blogger this year, but to be honest I think I needed a break from it and some form of digital detachment from the online world. Plus 2015 was just a difficult year. 

Hopefully 2016 will be much better....thanks for sticking around.

Hello world, meet Sunny.

She is the cutest baby and new love of my life!

Sephora haulin'

So it's actually been a while since I went to Sydney and bought these products in Sephora. Usually madness ensues and I come out significantly less wealthy because overseas make-up products are preeeeety pricey in Australia. But I really wanted to try these hyped beauty products and here are my mini reviews:

1. Bite Beauty Agave lip mask in Champagne.
Would I re-purchase again? YES. 
Beautiful sheen and moisturizing lip balm that you can use as an overnight mask and as a bronzed lip look for daytime.

2. Anastasia Brow Wiz in Ebony
Would I re-purchase again? NO.
Love how thin and tiny the pencil is but much too expensive a product for something that is not even 1 gram.
 
3. Becca Shimmering skin perfector in Opal
Would I re-purchase again? YES.
A tiny bit goes a LOOOOOONG way with this stuff. Too much and it shows your pores.
 
4. Amika leave in cream for hair
Would I re-purchase again? NO.
Smells lovely and fragrant but I want to try other hair masks.
 
5. Bite Beauty Matte creme lip crayon in Sucre.
Would I re-purchase again? YES.
Very moisturizing but doesn't have extra-long staying power. Needs touch-ups throughout the day but worth the non-drying formulation.
