'80s disco on your lips.

MAC superglasses just arrived on maccosmetics.com which means it they won't be New Zealand mac stores for a few weeks. I've always been a fan of dazzleglasses, just everything about them is so nice, they are definately my favourtite out of all the mac lipglasses. Seeing swatches from temptalia.com and they look super glittery hense  the name. I think if I were to go out and purchase one I would probably get the lightest pink which is sweet tart. I don't think these would be for everyday use but over a light pink lipstick (mac viva glam gaga) for a night out would be cute.

                               

cherry electric, disco blend, fab frenzy, gift wrap, sugar overload, superflash,

sweet tart, totally bang, tunnel of love.

style: the jock jacket

I know this is supposed to be like a beauty blog but I wanted to add a bit of fashion into it just because this is something I've been loving and it is the men's jock jacket. So jock jackets are purely cliche chick flick style but I love them all the same. I mean not many schools I know of have attractive jock jackets but if yours does then borrow your guy friends I guess but I don't think many schools in my area have the jock jacket so I think that's why I like them, I don't know. I used to think they were purely for men but seeing this girl in the lower jock jacket (pictured above) she just looks so adorable and cute (ignoring the fact she has no pants on). I think this would make a cute and warm jacket for winter with some dark wash jeans and a plain black or white top. I know lower aren't the only brand with the jock jackets but I just instantly fell in love with it. They are mens though, it would be a little bit better if they did make womens jock jackets because they'd be a whole lot more fitted than the mens ones it is how it is I guess.

hair product love: sebastian potion 9

Hey Ladies, so in the past I have been a hair hippie. I never used to do anything to my hair just used to wash and condition and that was it no mousse, spray, styling cream or even detangler. When I turned ten I got my first straightning iron which was one of the $20 ones in the back of farmers but thats all I needed. From that day forward I straightened my hair almost everyday and because I was still a hair hippie I didnt use heat proctectent (eeeeek!). That is what caused all of this. I should've bought myself a heat protectant the day I got my straightner but oh no I was so naive. My hair is very paranormal. I have greasy roots and dry ends. This is a tragedy, not really but hard to work with. This is when I started using hair products and noticed they made my hair so smooth and silky. And I think I've found just the miracle product.

'active-oil botanicals restore hair's natural condition, leaving hair with renewed shine'

This product I must first state is a bit on the pricey side being $50 which I know isn't like woah but still it's alot compared to supermarket brands that are $15 max. When I bought this I must admit I had my regrets, what if it didn't work? That'd be $50 down the drain but trust me it's worth every penny. It's a orange gel that can be applied to damp hair (what I usually do) and then air dry or blow dry, whatever floats your boat but it can also be used for when your hair is dry to boost shine and texture in your hair. That is vaguely what it says on the bottle but it does exactly that. I can feel the difference in my hair.

beauty rating:

9/10

topshop in new zealand

Hey ladies, it's here! It's here! It's finally here! Topshop hit up New Zealand on the 1st May. Topshop is a department store with low prices (possibly a range from glassons to dotti prices). It's a European store and has 300 stores all over Britain. New Zealanders have been able to purchase items from the store via the internet but online buying occasionally can backfire. Next time your in town definately make it your number one stop.

it's a love/hate relation ship (tag)

face

love: flawless skin, natural perfect colour foundation that isn't heavy and looks like a second skin.
hate: my skin when it breaks out and during the day gets uneven and my redness shows through. Also when you can feel foundation on your face and it feels thick.

lips

love: neutral rose pink lips with clear gloss. tinted lipbalms
hate: lip plumpers that burn your lips. I know they're supposed to but when your lips feel like they're on fire.

eyes

love: for day I love neutral eyes with heaps of mascara for night I like semi-smokey brown eyes with mascara and pop of colour because I have green eyes I use purple.

hate: how some lucky people can line around their whole eyes including waterline and it looks amazing like my best friend taylor who looks great but when I do it, it smudges and my eyes look teeny weeny compared to the rest of my face. its unfair. hahahahaha

hair

love: shiny glossy hair that cooperates with me. Lots of volume
hate: when my hair is frizzy, dandruff or greasy and doesn't want to do anything

clothes

love: when people are adventurous and look amazing without having to but high end stuff
hate: when something is the 'it' thing and I save up and buy it and then everyone is like 'errgh that is so 5 minutes ago' though this has told me not to always stick to the trends.

'it's called a lushie'

hey everyone, so yesterday I was walking along queenstreet because I was on a family trip to Auckland City when I spotted lush. I freaked out. I hadn't been to lush since Sydney last year and I never ever know there was one in New Zealand. So I decided to go inside for a 'look' which then turned into be a 'buy'. One funny incident was when I was looking at the face masks which my sister when I said 'I love lush so much, what do you call a person when they are addicted to lush?' my sister just shrugged and this girl beside me turns around and says in a rather rude voice 'It's called a lushie' and then stormed off to the soaps. So my first blogpost with pictures, yay for me. And I know my photography skills are terrible but these were taken off my phone so I promise I will get better. x

Just a photo I set up of the lush bag with some products infront of it. hahaha I'm so weird, but I cut off the 'lush' logo on the bag which was the whole point of the photo. fail

top from left: avobath bath ballistic, sex bomb bath ballistic, play your cards right massage bar
bottom form left: the comforter bubble bar, sexy peel soap and karma soap.

Nothing really to say so far because I haven't used any pf these yet. This was a set called viva lush vegas that also came with 'joy of jelly' shower jelly that I didn't realise was in there so I bought another one and gave this one to my sister. Oh and the comforter smells amazing and same with karma soap.

So that's all for my lush haul and it turns out there are nine lush stores in New Zealand but if you don't live near one, hop onto lush.com and select the NZ flag to go to lush new zealand online. Same with other countries. Next time I go to lush I think I will get more girly products like rockstar soap and creamy candy bubble bar and I'm interested in their face masks and hair products. Note: some lush things do need to be refridgorated (arrrgh cant spell)

. - thats my beauty mark
xxxxxxx

ftc - I'm not 100% sure if bloggers have to put ftc but just being safe. All these products were purchased by me and my sister (so we share them) I'm not being payed to haul these products

MARCH FAVOURITES

It's April now, smack bang in the middle of easter as I am writing this. Maybe going to the easter show, they have great goodie bags. I have decided to commit myself to this whole monthly favourites thing people on youtube do. So drumroll please...

moisture mist beauty cake - Just recently got this and I am safe to say that my what looked like neverending perfect foundation search is officially over. The moisture mist beauty cake gives a really pretty light finish that I am in love with and you don't feel like you have make-up on at all, it is truly truly freaking amazing.

MAC pinch'opeach blush - This has been my favourite blush for so long and I almost named this blog after it. Its matte and the most beautiful pink colour ever, for night you can apply it dark and it looks really glowy and pretty but during the day I just brush it on lightly.

coastal scents 88 shimmer pallette - again a product I love that was what I was going to cal my blog but that sounds kinda stupid (88shimmerpallette.blogspot.com), actually I kind of like it. Has a ring to it. Since it's term holidays for two weeks, I have been experimenting with this pallette everyday twice a day. The pigmentation is gorgeous and the colours are so bright. A must-have for all make-up junkies.

OPI nail polish in 'I'm not really a waitress' - gorgeous colour, OPI nail polishes are such good quality and this colour is so adorable plus the name is cute as.

Beauty Blogs - beauty blogs are so helpful thats why I am making one. A few of my favourites are temptalia.com, jordysbeautyspot.blogspot.com and pearlsandpoodles.blogspot.com go check those out and follow me all the way home dolls.

Clean&Clear morning glow moistrurizer - has SPF 15 in it and is a lightweight formula. Has legit like shimmer in it. I love it so much.

Proactiv acne 3 step - Second round of this stuff and it just keeps getting better. Keep tuned for my skincare post, coming to a town near you.

Remix magazine - got the subscription for my christmas and I love this magazine so much, its more sophisticated with lots of MAC make-up, zambesi and stolen girlfriends club stuff.

Thats all my monthly favourites, tune in next month for another round, until then bye.
