Look What the Bat's Dragged in...to My Mail Box

I'm very fortunate to be friends with the very generous Kierra of Look What the Bats Dragged In, who sweetly grabs a few things from the Sydney Illamasqua store for me once in a while (if you ever happen to read this, Kierra, thank you so much!). She recently picked up some things from the Illamasqua 'Once' collection which I think came out some time nearing the end of August.


(Apologies for the even-crapper-than-usual photo quality)

 Cute :P

 Love the wrapping paper!

 

This is a cream eyeshadow - I've been slowly getting more and more into cream products lately and this one has just an amazing formula.

 

 I love layering this over the Taupe Maybelline Colour tattoo cream shadow. I'm seriously thinking of investing in the other cream shadows from the Once collection.

 Love the packaging too.

 So smooth

 Now this polish...Oh man. It's to die for. Illamasqua make my favourite polishes in the world but this colour is just breathtaking.

 The colour is called 'Melange', sorry it may be hard to see in the photo

 

 Kierra also managed to grab me the 'Elope' tester from the Illa store - the colour is my fav of all time and is now discontinued :(


 I also got some bonus samples, I'm so spoilt :D

 

All the Illa products have pretty much become permenant members of my make up/nail routine. I may need to get a back up of Melange if they ever decide to discontinue it, which apparently Illamasqua love doing to things I regularly purchase from them. Sigh, anyway that's all I have for now.


Over and out lovelies!

Mail, Hair and Random Happenings

So Monday was a busy mail day...

Packages from mac, BM and a lovely little parcel from a sweet friend arrived ^_^

I was so excited to recieve my mac face and body in white and can't wait to give it a proper test run this weekend! I don't think I'll be doing a full on review because well...there's a tonne of them already out there I would imagine as this product isn't exactly new.

 

I also received these lovely Illamasqua polishes curtsey of the gorgeous Kierra over at Look What the Bat's Dragged in; thank you, beautiful! I encourage you to check out her blog if you're into nail polish at all, she has great taste and an extensive collection of nail polish.

 

 

  I didn't waste time painting my nails with Hemlock, I wish I could properly capture the colour; it's amazing!

And lastly the freak stew skirt from Black Milk, love this print!


And I guess it's on to other news...

 

This green fairy had to pop into...a disguise :-( Looking in the mirror makes me incredibly depressed but at least this way I should be able to get a job and get the hell out of this cesspool.

And here's some more recent pics of the hair that's been around for about a week now..

Max and I enjoying cuddles

Looking more and more like *my* Shepard every day :P

 

 Awesome cup Luke gave me :D




Aaaand some Halloween stuff..I've enjoyed the last few weeks without the folks and as such have decorated the house...Though I'll probably have to take it down today as I don't think they'll let me keep them :/

 

 Making bats, thanks Gothically Yours! Here's the tutorial.


I think I might sign off for tonight

Spit and Polish

About a week ago I got my first order from an Australian owned and run Nail polish business by the name of Lilypad Lacquer (I mentioned this in a recent post regarding my friend Kelly's birthday present). Lately I have developed a fascination with holo nail polishes thanks to the lovely Kierra over at Look What the Bats Dragged In (A rather expensive fascination - just what I need, another expensive hobbie :P).

And with a flash (sorry about the quality)


I've also ordered Lonesome George by Cirque Polish because you can never have enough green holo nail polishes right ^_^  Can't wait till it arrives!

 I've also placed my first order at Make Up Geek, I'll be sure to post about it when it arrives :)

That's all for today
