January Favourites 2014



Nivea In-Shower Rich Body Lotion
For someone with dry skin who is extremely lazy, this product is a godsend! Saves me so much time by moisturising in the shower and leaves my skin so smooth!

Batiste Dry Shampoo
In my eyes, dry shampoo is the best invention ever! Saves me on second-day-hair days and gives volume even when my hair is freshly clean. My favourite kind is 'Wild and Daring' which is in the leopard print can, but this tropical one smells nice!

Benefit Rockateur blush
New to my collection, but this rose gold blush gives off a great colour!

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Transparent
As mentioned in my previous post, this powder is something I tend to reach for on an everyday basis. I love a matte finish and my skin tends to get oily. This completes my face without my makeup looking too caked on.

Bondi Sands Self Tanning Mousse in Dark
Dead set best self tanner I have ever used! I apply this with a mitt and it looks so natural since it is a green based tanner. It also stays on well, personally t lasts on me for just over a week before getting slightly patchy but it's nothing too bad. At only $20 from Priceline, it's worth every penny!

Lusts of the week #6

Lusts of the week #6


Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation
I've read and heard such good things about this foundation on the blogging and vlogging scene, so it's a must on my list of products to try!

Apple iPad Air
As you may have seen in previous lusts of the weeks (here and here) I have been (and still am) lusting over a Macbook. My funds just aren't quite up to par at the moment (currently on the hunt for a second casual job!) so I'm planning to buy an iPad instead - plus it'll be much lighter for me to carry in my bag to uni!

Vanity/Dressing Table (pictured)
My love for these blossomed many years ago and is still in the honeymoon stage! I wish there was enough space in my bedroom for one haha. It's the dream - I will own it some day!

Leather Look Asymmetrical skirt from Glassons
I saw this skirt in an outfit post by Katie at Steal The Spotlight (note: new fashion inspiration - check her out she is amazing!) and fell in love. I have to have it. Or similar ;)

PS. Lusts of the week have started to become a series I post on a Thursday - I think that's a scheduled thing I can (and want) to stick to and and I know some of you like these.. sooo expect them on a Thursday! (*hopes that I haven't just jinxed my current regular blogging routine that I am oh-so-proud-of*) Also, keep an eye out for my January Favourites coming tomorrow!

Lusts of the week #5

Lusts of the week #5

Lusts of the week #5 by fullofcuriosityxo featuring nars cosmetics

I'm really into mesh at the moment and mesh mixed with sports luxe.. I just love this dress!

This particular one is Dragon Girl, but there's a few other colours I'm liking the look of. I love matte lips so I think these would be perfect. I saw these mentioned on Jasmine Cara's blog and they immediately went on my list after doing some further research!

Leather shorts
I love these shorts, now just to find a perfect (and inexpensive) pair!

1000th mention of Windsor Smith on my blog and I don't really need any more heels but I love these. I have the Prom heels (mentioned in this post) which I am in love with (and still need to wear out oops)

I love anything and everything New York. I saw this on my Instagram feed and knew I had to have it! I want to get a bedside table for my bedroom and I think this would look perfect leant against the wall in a white frame!
