ASOS Wishlist.


ASOS have always been a staple shopping destination for me (it was actually the first place I ever online shopped when I was like 15), but as of recent, I've become totally obsessed with so many thinks they have in stock!! And since my birthday is coming up, I figured I'd make a master post so hopefully I can keep track of things I'm after this year. I've been lusting after this Barry M Natural Glow shadow pallets + their Sparkle Nail Polish. I've been trying to expand my make up routine and I think this pallet would be perfect! Shoes wise, I've been saving my pennies for these JuJu Babe jelly sandals and the ASOS ballet flats. And this ASOS brand western belt would be perfect, seeing as I'm a very big belt girl. My big splurge would be this Olivia Burton bee watch.

I've been after so many of their looks this season too, all these dresses and tops are on the site! Swoon! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can snatch most of this up with birthday $$. What are you lusting after this Summer from ASOS?

Review: Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat + Donut Nails.

 

Recently I stumbled across the new Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat range through another beauty blogger, and was dying to try it out. Im not huge on textured polishes (I tried their Sugar Coat range and was a bit put off), but having previously fallen in love with the OPI Liquid Sand range, I figured I might as well give Fuzzy Coat a shot. I searched and searched both online and in store, but with the new laws that have come in regarding nail polish shipping to Australia, I dubbed it near impossible. I then ventured into a Priceline, and found their whole range on sale! I rushed home to try it, and fell in love!

The dry time was quick and the application was smooth, a lot smoother than I have ever had with some of my bigger glitter polishes. It lasted a week before it began chipping, and I found it easy to remove (though I have read many reviews saying more than one coat is very difficult). It reminds me of donuts and I would recommend it to anyone!

Nude + Glitter.


I've walked past these MUD nail polish a million times in Woolworths and have always palmed them off as being cheap + crappy. I previously bought their MUD nail stickers in Pink Disco but they came unstuck two hours after I put them on! So I didn't have much hopes of these drugstore brand polishes. My girlfriend convinced me to pick some up last night as we were browsing the cheap makeup at 10pm (we go in for icecream, I leave with beauty products) and after using them, I've completely changed my mind! These polishes have a lovely consistency and are quite thick coverage. And for $3 a bottle, its a lot cheaper than the Sally Hansen or Cutex alternative. 

This took three coats of the MUD Newly Now with a topcoat of Glitterazzi.

Modcloth sale.


Its time again, and every year when this Modcloth midyear sale rolls round I always put it off, until low and behold, the sale is over. But this year I was actually clever and made some quality purchases! One thing I have to say about Modcloth; their shipping prices really do get on my nerves! I piled about 9 items into my cart (hey, what can I say, its a great sale) and realised it would be $45 just to ship it!! Disgruntled, I settled on two of the loveliest dresses ever and snapped them up.

Now I will be sitting by the doorstep for the next week and a half till these beauty's arrive! 

As everyone knows: Modcloth sales are few and far between. And even though I probably shouldn't have dished out the doe for these cuties, it was worth it. Hey, with Modcloth offering 50% off for both, I saved $87. I can justify that, right? Right?!

Hope everyone managed to snag up something lovely for themselves in the sale! Treat yo self.

Melissa Chaib Nail Decals Review

I had been practically waiting by the post box till my nail decals from Melissa Chaib arrived, and I cannot tell you how much I love them! I opted for the 15 pack (she has a 12 pack on her etsy as well!) which incudes lipstick, records, and my favorite; the fries box! The application of the nail decals are very simple; first you remove the adhesive back sheet, then sit the decal in water until the transfer tape and apply to the nails. I'd recommend covering the decal in a clear top coat (I used a top coat by Etude House via Daiso), I did two coats.

Miss Chaib also does lovely prints, some of which I luckily won a few months ago via a tumblr contest! I absolutely love these nail decals (and anything Melissa Chaib right now).
