birthday spoils

My birthday was exactly 2 months ago and i was still receiving birthday goodies last week!!
It's funny because last year i didn't really get anything for my birthday. I mean, i never expect presents but this year i was so spoilt, i feel guilty! 

Nail Polish Stash: Part 3 - Blues/Purples (Swatch)

My Illamasqua Products (Swatch + Review)

I'm sure most of us who signed the petition to end unjust pricing for make up in Australia were over the moon to receive this in our emails a couple of weeks ago:
I have to say, i am so impressed with Illamasqua's efforts to reduce their prices in Australia.

Illamasqua Powder Eyeshadow: Synth + Creep (Swatch + Review)

Cheeky purchases i made in my uni break last monday. I went with a friend who wanted an Illamasqua foundation, I don't know why i ever thought i could leave the counter empty handed but my hands were not empty. I ended up buying 2 eyeshadows: Synth and Creep, these are my very first Illamasqua eyeshadows!

Nail Polish Stash: Part 2 - White to Black (Swatch)

Luna Bowtique

This is the second time i've ordered from Luna Bowtique. The first time was only back in May but when she released her Totoro bows, i couldn't resist and placed another order. I bought the Totoro bow in yellow, a Squishy Pink Bow as well as the Summer Treats Bow. 
As always, it was adorably packaged with heaps of cute letter papers, it's such a joy to unwrap!

Bobbi Brown Desert Twilight Eye Palette (Swatch + Review)

Look what came in my cousin's care package from the States!! The Bobbi Brown Desert Twilight Eye Palette from their Fall 2012 collection!! This is definitely the most beautiful palette i own and i'm so in love with it. I've been using it everyday since receiving it 2 weeks ago.

I've Got Mail: Nail Polish Haul from Transdesign (Review)

I did a massive nail polish order with some of my ladies at the beginning of last month and I'm only just getting around to posting on my haul! I order my nail polishes from Transdesign and this is my 4th time ordering from them. They carry a range of nail polish brands (OPI, Essie, Orly, China Glaze, CND, Color Club, Misa and more) and also nail treatments. 
I'm going to try and explain the most important things when ordering off this website and hopefully it helps if you wish to order from them because honestly, they offer the biggest range at the cheapest prices i've come across online (OPI $6.80, Essie $5.95, China Glaze $2.99, Orly $5, Seche Vite $4.50).
This time i placed an order for 42 bottles in a Medium Flat Rate Box. In the past i've done 2 Small Flat Rate Box orders and 1 Medium one, this is my second Medium order. 

In my head, you tell me things you've never said

Essie: Penny Talk (Swatch + Review)


Hey ladies!
It's been a while! Today i have for you a swatch and review of Essie Penny Talk. Some of you may remember that this was on my wishlist a month or so ago. When i finally got around to placing a massive nail polish order with my friends, most of the Mirror Metallics collection was actually sold out on the site and i was so guttered! But i received a spoil package from my cousin in the States for my birthday and what do you know, Penny Talk was in it c:
