PHOTOLOG: More foodp0rn, sneak peek of more FOTDs and OOTDs

 What's happenin' cupcakes?

Hope you had a lovely weekend! 

It flew pass way too quickly before I was able to finish spelling M-O-N-D-A-Y. And the counting down to Friday starts right about now... Le sigh. 

Moonday usually means instagram/ recap post and I shall start this week's recap post with some food porn and proceed to more FOTD, OOTD and NOTD shots.

UPDATES & INSTAGRAM-ED V2

It's the ever dreadful Monday again - my most favourite day of the week, NOT. 

But instead of whinging like a little kid, I am trying (keyword: TRYING) to be more positive and have a quick "picture reflection" of the past week or so. 

As you can see, ThroughBeautyEyes.Com has undergone a "minor operation" over the weekend - it looks much simpler now than before than far from what I have in mind! But those changes are going to gradual as I have heaps of tweaking to do! So, please bear with the current one for the time being. :D

DO YOU LIKEY THE NEW LAYOUT? ;)

WARNING: There might be quite *a few* #foodporn photos as you scroll down, please do that at your own risk. I will not be responsible for any hunger caused. =P

 Yours truly posing with her "vicarious" shopping from HK - MAC Watch Me Shimmer Lipstick ( I LOVE) and Revlon Lip Butter in Macaron.

(Huge thanks to BFF - Miss Wendy and Co) 

 Sneak peak of my FOTD rockin' my new fav - MAC Watch Me Shimmer Lippie <3

Stay tune!

 My current obsession - Banana, Mango & Passionfruit smoothie from Top Juice!

LOVES the smoothie and juices from Top Juice as they use pure fruits with no added sugar, except they are pretty exy $$$!

$12 Steak + Shoestring Chips @ Bar Luca

BEST STEAK & CHIPS EVER, nuff said!  

Although Bar Luca is situated at the other side of my "hood" - towards Wynyard - Circular Quay area, I am considering making a weekly visit just because their steak and chips are SO.WORTH.IT.

One of my "beasty" brekkie - Teriyaki Chicken Sushi and Smoked Salmon Salad Roll

Jurlique's New Rose Moisture Plus with Antioxidant Complex Range!!!

I have heard so many good reviews about Jurlique products - can't wait to try these babies out! May I add that these products smell absolutely divine? 

 

Packages that make my otherwise mundane day at work slightly better :)

And this time, it's all about Sample Boxes! I was sent a few sample boxes over the past few months, so I will be doing a more detailed post on what I think about sample boxes soon rather than just showcasing the products as you have probably seen it around other blogs already. :)

Hump Day FOTD - green smokey eyes using my fav Stardust eyeshadow from Sisley Mystic Harmony Collection (Reviewed & Swatched HERE) just because I felt like it. :)

Team Lunch @BonaFides

Grilled prawn salad with extra haloumi on the side. SUPER NOMS! 

Lunch with the girlies @ Bonafides

Fettucini with ricotta, chilli lime dressing and grilled prawns with extra chilli on the side. 

I am pretty sure the picture itself illustrates HOW DELISH it was! 

Yes, I did go to Bonafides on Thursday and Friday - simply because it is just down the road from where I work and they serve pretty decent food! Anything with grilled prawn is yums - their steak on the other hand was just mediocre! 

Weekend NOTD - A holographic polish I got from Morning Glory a LONG time ago! And I forgotten how gorgeous this shade is! :)

 Saturday readings - Rae Morris Timeless MakeUp & CLEO Mag! 

Brunch @Robocog, Surry Hills

Grilled Haloumi with salsa on rosemary sourdough with extra churizo & scrambled eggs on the side. 

SUPER YUMS - albeit I felt like I was 2 months preggos after demolishing everything on the plate! 

 Our first photo shoot sesh together @ a quiet laneway in Surry Hills! Stay tune :D

That pretty much sums up what's been happenin for the past week and what I got up to over the weekend. Nothing interesting as you can tell, it always involves food & make up. =.="

NOTE TO SELF: Stop drafting post with FOOD in midnight, especially when your stomach is grumping, yearning for a good scrumptious supper. It is quite torturous. 

What did you lovelies get up to over the weekend?

Anything interesting and/or fun? Do share. :)

Have a great week ahead!! <3

XOXO,

SNIPPETS: What Up, Mini haul, Sneak Peak, Surprise Packages :)

I am sure those of you who works full time can relate - the only reason you love Thursday because it brings you a step closer to Friday; we all love Fridays simply because you get to have a sneaky cider or a glass of SavBlanc over lunch and the drinking that entails after the clock hits 5 and of course the start of the weekend. 

As mentioned in my previous post, I am finally back on the blogging bandwagon - albeit there are some sorting to do with my photos and drafts clutters. I can't really go on another "break" while organizing my files, can I? Hence, this is another photo-clogged post. :) 

We bid the nearly non-existent summer goodbye yesterday and welcomed autumn (or fall as the Americans & Canadians call it :D) yesterday. I would love to call it a glorious farewell, unfortunately it was nothing but an overcasted 30 degrees weather which spells out humidity, along with the lines of disgusting and gross. 

@Narrabeen Beach on one of the VERY FEW good days. 

I am going to miss the beach, the TAN and the waves. :( It's going to be duvet, bed, DvDs and lots of brunches in the coming months. 

NOTD - Bloom Cosmetics The Cassette Society II

Painted my nails grey to suit the deary cold and wet weather. :) 

To be honest, I actually quite enjoy the rain IF it was a Sunday and I have the luxury of sleeping in and make love to my duvet. =P

:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:

On a random note, surprise packages at the office never fail to make my day. And lucky Adeline struck two on the EVE. :)

Surprise Package #1 :)

Jane Iredale's Step Into Autumn Warm Pack - My Steppes Warm Compact which complements your day and night look with Ice-Mocha and Crabapple Pure Gloss and PurePressed Blush in Whisper and So-Bronze-3. 

Surprise Package #2

Australis Mascara of All Sorts - Three new mascaras - Voluptulash, Multi Mega Lash and Lash Lengths Extensions Mascara coming soon! :)

Sweet Sensation - Mascara + Sweets

A huge thank you to Maxted Thomas and the Australis team for sending these goodies over. <3 

:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:

So, I have been pretty good with my spending ever since I got back from Asia, especially in the beauty department. However, I decided to go on a mini retail therapy to reward myself for passing the third module of my CA program. :)

Ankle Booties from GLUE

 I call this necessity as I NEEDED a pair of booties in this wet weather and its way too early to whip out my leather boots. 

It looks amazing with shorts (especially denim) and surprisingly comfy as they are pretty hard - can't wait to mix and match with pieces from my wardrobe this autumn! 

3 for $10 from Equip 

Just because... they were on sale and I needed some accessories to spice up my boring outfit these days. :)

:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:

This is totally random and out of the blue but suits the rain SO PERFECTLY!

(Have I turn English with the constant mentioning and association of weather with almost everything?)

SPICY BEEF RAMEN 

I could so demolish a bowl of this... right now! 

(as time of drafting this post, which is precisely Friday, 2 March 2012 12:41am)

Not a good idea blogging about scrumptious food in the wee hours. 

:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:

Before hitting the sack, a sneak peak of upcoming posts in March 2012 :D

NP Set "Live a Colourful Life" Collection

NP Set brushes

Sisley Mystic Harmony Autumn Collection 

FOTD for the night out with the bloggers. :)

Simple, everyday FOTD  - hair was fresh from rebonding :)

 :+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:

A few of my readers actually commented that they enjoy reading "random snippets-pictures filled" type of posts. I will probably do like a weekly update post, featuring random photos of my life. 

What says you? ;)

Have a spanking good weekend, lovelies!! :D

XOXO,
