LOTD | Fact or Quote #1

I absolutely love quotes and see them all over Tumblr all the time! It's gonna be hard for me to pick JUST one but I think today I'll go with this one:

LOTD | Ebay #1

Fail post by me today because I don't have anything to share! I don't usually look on Ebay (except for recently when I bought some EOS lip balms) but I haven't had a chance to look for anything today either as I was in the city for an interview then had work tonight! Will definitely keep my eye out to make sure I have something for my next Ebay post!

LOTD | Book #1

Wednesdays LOTD is books!

This week's book is The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky (which I'm sure you've allll heard of!). I read this over a year ago and instantly fell in love with it! I definitely recommend reading it, if you haven't already!

What's your favourite book?

LOTD | Blog Post #1

This more like two posts, but still one at the same time. I found this Project Perfect post on Lauren of Oh Little Red's blog which led me to the original by Flaws and All. Basically Project Perfect is where you post a photo of yourself that you like and you say why you like it, some things you don't like about yourself that others may like and some things that you do like about yourself. I absolutely love this idea and am planning to post my own soon!

LOTD | Clothes #1

I have enjoyed watching Louise of Sprinkle of Glitter on Youtube for quite a while now and have decided to join in with one of her blog challenges! (actually two, but more on that tomorrow)

This particular challenge is called Love Of The Day (or simply LOTD) and I will link you to her blog post because obviously her explanation is better than anything I could possibly come up with (since she y'know, came up with the whole thing) but basically each day has a theme where you post about something you have been lusting over! I thought this would be a great way to get me motivated to blog more often and to branch out and communicate with fellow bloggers!

As she states in her post, Mondays will be about clothes! (It's technically 12:35am on Tuesday right now here in Australia but shh!)

Today I am mooching over these JCrew Pixie Pants (which I mentioned in my wishlist that I posted earlier today). I've heard plenty about them over Youtube about how comfy they are and many other great things. JCrew actually isn't available here in Australia so I was thrilled to discover that JCrew ships to Australia (with free shipping too!) but there's a slight obstacle.... they are $125 AUD! So for now I will keep mooching and wishing and maybe some day (soon, in the near future?) they will be mine.

I am really looking forward to keeping at this challenge (and I will stick with it!) so I think that you should DEFINITELY join in!

What are you lusting over today?

Wishful thinking

1. MAC Mineralised Skin Finish in 'Soft and Gentle' | I have been wanting a highlight for so long now and have heard plenty about it on YouTube! It's around $47 here in Australia and I still need to purchase my first MAC product and I'm thinking it's about time I'm brave enough to fork out the money!

2. JCrew Pixie Pants | I have heard Ingrid (aka. Missglamorazzi) rave about these pants for so long and I recently looked them up online and JCrew now sends to Australia! (We don't have a store here). Unfortunately they are quite pricey at $125 but I'd love to own a pair!

3. YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick in 'Red Taboo' | First of all, just look at that gorgeous packaging! Last night I was lusting over these lippies online and discovered this shade in Rachel's (aka. icallitambrosia & 87daysbefore) favourite lipsticks video because I remember her mentioning a YSL one. She described it as a true red and after looking at swatches on various other sites this is the shade I'd love to splurge on!

4. NARS blush | I have always wanted a NARS product and I think a blush would be perfect! Still undecided on what shade I would like but a girl can dream, right?!

5. Real Techniques brushes | These brushes are by Samantha Chapman of pixiwoo and I have recently learnt that they are available in Australia! (and by recently, I mean today). They are only available in one place, which happens to be in the Sydney CBD, so I am definitely going to go into the city very soon and buy some for myself! They are also surprisingly cheap considering that make-up is quite expensive here in Australia compared to America.

6. Laura Mercier Mineral Powder | Today I was watching Gracie's (aka. UglyFaceOfBeauty) product rave about this and deicded that I have to have it! I looked on Myer's online shop earlier and I think that it's around $60-70 so I won't be getting it anytime soon, hahaha ;)

My weekend in photos

I went away for the weekend with five of my friends so here are some photos!
