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.
