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,

As you may have already know from twitter, I was on vacation for three weeks in Malaysia (God, I miss my holidays). I had quite a hard time getting back on the blogging wheels as I have been trying to get back to the 9-5 routine, unpacking and reorganising (which is no where near done btw =.="), looking for a new place, and a strings of events to kick start the new year (stay tune for the launch of new products in 2012 :D). But I have a lists of posts lining up for Feb. :)

Digression.

Here's just a few a whole lots of photos to depict what's been happenin in the land down under since I got back:

Brunch at Reuben Hills with W last Sunday. Reuben Hills is a tiny cafe located at Surry Hills with a rather unique menu.

This was amazing albeit the salted caramel was a tad too salty.

W and I chilled at Hyde Park to soak up the limited sun - and guess who's the genius who was so keen for cider that she totally forgotten to check that this is not a screw top? =.="

Tammerly & I @ Photobooth
Diesel Loverdose Fragrance Launch @ Diesel HQ, Paddington on Tuesday. 



WHICH SERVES VODKA CRANBERRY IN A SYRINGE!!! 

Yes, I am easily amazed. No, but seriously, how awesome is this! :P


GlossyBox Bloggers Party @The Loft on Australia Day Eve. 

A special mention to the girls from GlossyBox for organising such a great event and I had a wonderful time despite the extremely gay and disgusting weather. (Think: thunderstorm and rain ALL DAY). It's always great to catch up with the fellow beauty bloggers over some delicious nibbles and some bubbles. 

Complimentary Bushell Tea Cocktail in conjunction with Australia Day + Pavlova
Definitely a unique drink to remember but that toffee liquor certainly didn't have much effect.


The INCREDIBLY generous goodie bag that was gifted at the end of the night! There are quite a few products that I am pretty keen on trying! Will definitely keep you girls posted. :)

Rocking a bright orange lips on Australia Day! Spot the kangaroo ;)

Poached Eggs, Haloumi, Grilled Tomatoes and Avocado on Sourdough Rye 
 Late brunch at Mickey's Cafe, Paddington. 

1L of White Sangria between W and I
What's Australia Day celebration without booze? Although we weren't hip enough to have a scnitty and cider at a pub yo! LOL It was lovely to have some exposure to Vitamin D today (by intervals, may I add) after a couple of crappy, rainy days.



Nail of the Week - ORLY Nail Lacquer in Forever Crimson.


Before logging off, here's a sneak peak of what's coming up next:

My loot from Singapore Duty Free. :)

And of course, swatches and reviews of some amazing products that I have recently haul-ed and discovered. :)


Alright mates, that's all for today. Time to hit the sack as I have another day of work before the weekend. IF only I had enough leave to enjoy a long weekend. Bummerrrrr! But,


GUESS WHO'S GOING TO KANYE WEST TOMORROWWWW???? 

:D
