Estee Lauder Limited Edition Colors: Swatches and Mini Review


A few months ago I got my hands on the Estee Lauder Limited Edition Colors Palette, it has since become my favourite "handbag palette" to carry around with me. 


Like a lot of high end makeup products, this eye and lip palette comes in the standard velvet pouch. I've always appreciated this little touch because there's something very elegant about it, and also on a practical level- if you are going to carry it around in your bag, it stops the case from getting scratched or damaged.  


In addition to the pouch, the palette also comes with the standard sponge tip applicator and small brush. I don't tend to use these but I guess it's nice to have them in there just in case. 


The packaging itself has 'Estee Lauder' inscripted on the lid...very fancy.

❤ FOTD: Valentines Day ❤

Happy Valentines Day!! :)

It most probably isn't Valentines Day today (the day you're reading this) but it is Valentines Day today (the day I'm writing this) soooo happy V-day!!

Although I'm spending yet another Hallmark holiday all alone, I'm really not too bothered. I mean who really wants to pay an exorbitant amount of money and roses that would cost a fraction of the price any other day?? Despite this, I do enjoy getting into the spirit, corporate holiday or not. 

Anyway, back onto the main point of this post...FOTD time :)

OOTN: Black on Black, Leather and Lace

Well hello everyone!
A few days ago I went out to an event and got quiet a few compliments on what I was wearing, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to do a Outfit Of The Night (OOTN) post.


Up top I wore this very beautiful lace/mesh top that I got a few weeks ago at Myer, Its by the brand T by Bettina Liano, originally $69.95, reduced down to $40,00 with an extra 50% or 75% off, I can't really remember which, but nonetheless an amazing deal.

Simple Valentines Day Nails

For this years Valentines day I though I'd keep it simple, so I came up with this really quick and easy design. 



I started of by applying a light pink nail polish all over my nails. Then with a tooth pick I created two dots on the corner of my nail and joined them up to create a heart shape. 
Simples :)


I think this is great if you don't want to spend ages on your nails or don't want anything to over the top.


Hope you guys enjoyed this little post :)
