I've been looking for a Naked palette for forever. It's so hard to find somewhere that ships to Australia, though! We don't have any UD stockists. :(
 
So i finally psyched myself up and had a proper fringe cut in today (after talking about it on here and to everyone for months lol) - it's relatively blunt (but a little more wispy), but not straight across, it's *slightly* rounded at the edges. I'm now a nice shiny black, and my hairdresser took out a heap of bulk. One of the other haidressers squealed and yelled "China Girl!" lol. I was a little freaked at first, but it's growing on me. The big test will be when i wash it - to see what the fringe looks like without running a straightener through it.

PS: I was told today that GHDs are crap nowadays - the company has been sold and anything purchased less than 3 years ago is made by cheap child labour in China :\ Cloud 9 is the new choice for stylists.

edit: here's a crappy iphone shot of my fringe. My hair is up in a ponytail. Still getting used to it, but it's growing on me :)

I've just discovered your tutorials! They're fantastic :) Yes please to one for us ladies who wear glasses.

What I've learnt already is I really, really need to invest in more and better brushes - that and a magnifying mirror lol

Samadhi your fringe looks great. Alas my face shape doesn't lend itself to one, my hairdresser will only entertain me if it's a slated side one that's layered into the rest of my hair - and still then she doesn't think it's the best look for me. The lady is always right :\
 
Samadhi looks great!

So, with Blondie's push, I picked up the UD Naked palette- with the two-sided pencil and original cost! Yay! I also picked up this psychotically bright pink np- Orly's Cabana Boy. It will be a perfect color on toes in summer. I also got that Tend Skin which is supposed to be great for razor bumps. Oh, and I needed a new bronzer, so I got Too Faced's Beach Bunny (California in a Compact).

I had a gift card for Kohl's and picked these up:

I can't wait for summer!!!

When stop by my Ulta/Sephora I will check to see if they have any in stock. If so, I will gladly pick one up and send it to you! Maybe we can even do a swap? =D

My newest brush set by Sigma! It's the "Make Me Blush" kit and I adore the coral-y pink color! Sigma has released the same set (with case that turns into brush holders) in black, purple, and teal/aqua color as well.

I'm definitely going to use the case for when I travel, but I'm actually going to store the brushes in this adorable Tiffany mug (I'm thinking one mug for eye brushes and another mug for face brushes)

edit- I'll probably end up picking up 3 mugs so I also have one to drink my coffee/tea out of...how very Audrey-esque hehe <3

Got my Zoya order today, as well as the two OPI's I ordered. PLUS the China Glaze that I got from Sally. I'm having a polish overload, I don't know what to use first!

ooo I hope to get my Zoya order next week!!

I know I'm going to a party tonight that has blacklights and I thought blacklight reactive nail polish or something would be fun. Sadly I DON'T HAVE ANY!
Oh well we will see if glow in the dark works but its an ugly dead finger yellow in the light!
Throw on my "Zombie" t-shit and call it a "look" I guess...
 
^^ I actually tried to find some blacklight nail polish for Halloween but wasn't successful :|


Samadhi your fringe looks great lovely!! Absolutely gorgeous! <3


poopie those heel are super cute hun, nice choice!


Blondie I meant to say the other day, it's good to see you round these parts again hun, how've you been? :)
And I'm a little bit in love with that Tiffany mug! <3

Yes please :D


I blow dry and straighten my hair almost everyday and as a result I'm getting a ton of split ends which is definitely no bueno. So what are some ways to protect my hair (I already use a heat protecting spray) from splits? Do you guys have a favorite oil? A method of naturally drying your hair where it doesn't get too frizzy? Or a way of blow drying your hair so that it comes out straight?

So many questions but I appreciate the answers.
 
^ Moroccanoil!!!!

http://www.moroccanoil.com/

It is the best hair product I have ever used...before that I used the CHI Silk Infusion, CHI Keratin Mist, CHI 44 Iron Guard, Joico KPAK leave-in treatment, Paul Mitchell Super Skinny serum, etc...but now that I have found Moroccanoil it is the ONLY product I need/use. I also think it helps dry your hair a bit faster, IMO.

Oh honey, yes yes yesssss! I would LOVE this and appreciate it so so much. Do you have Paypal? I can xfer' the funds + postage to you, no problems. :)
And hells yes, a swap would be awesome! Are there any Australian make-up items you're keen on? Or we could just do one for fun and include some nice bits and pieces after the palette?

Seconded. This stuff is the SHIZ. I adore it, and it's all I ever use.
 
I'm not too familiar with Aussie cosmetics, but I'd love to try anything that you think I'd enjoy. I think I'm going to go shopping tomorrow or the next day so I will definitely check to see if they have any. I got lucky at Ulta awhile back and they had a few in stock, but I haven't seen any since. The palette is usually sold out at Sephora, but here's hoping! Oh and yes I do have paypal.
 
I'm so annoyed. I called my local Ulta yesterday, after weeks of hounding Beauty Brands about Black Shatter, and they said they had it in stock. Went to pick it up today and it was already sold out! Hopefully they're getting more on Friday, I'm going to stake out and be the first person in that door!:X

To console myself, I purchased a bottle of Orly's Space Cadet. I was pretty surprised they still had it in stock since it was a limited edition from September.

Meh...it was an alright day in beauty land.

P.S. Looked at Moroccanoil in Beauty Brands while I was in there picking up some things and it was $41 USD! Is it really that expensive, or is it cheaper off their website? I can think of quite a few things I would rather spend $40 on...
 
Whoa PT that colour is awesome! I love it :)

I finally got some hair product yesterday (yes I also finally got my hair trimmed at the hairdresser yesterday :)). It's not "product" so to speak, but it's more just a moisturising lotion for hair, kinda thing. It's called Trichovedic Moisture Surge. I'm going to try it out after my shower today.

I believe that is about the average price for a bottle of Moroccanoil...I paid $20 for mine because I bought it at a store for professionals and everything is discounted. Have you tried looking on Amazon?
