I had an order from TesterKorea and a friend I met up with bought me a couple goodies back from Hong Kong! Let's go through them shall we?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here's the five newest additions to my huge and growing collection. An Aritaum Honey Melting Lip Tint, another Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint, an Etude House Dear My Jelly Lips Talk (the packaging makes me feel like a princess, *sighs* ~), an Etude House Dear My Wish Lips Talk (can you really turn down a bow? Like really?) and an Innisfree Vivid Tint Rouge.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Aritaum Honey Melting Tint; which I have in the shade #2 Sugar Syrup; has sturdy black packaging with a slanted, flat retractable product. (What do you call it, cause it's not exactly a bullet..? Anyway.) The name of the shade is clearly printed on the other side of the cap; which is the exact colour of the product; and it smells like peach hi-chews. Those amazing lollies, *sighs* it brings back so many memories. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Etude House Dear My Jelly Lips Talk; which I have in JPK002; has a really thick and sturdy lid (thicker than your average western lipstick lid) and a bullet that has the really cute heart swirly thing above their logo engraved in the bullet. It's a nice, extra princessy touch that I love. The actual packaging is a pearly white colour with this cute bead like accent around where the edge of the lid rests, in the colour of the bullet. Smells identical to their Kissful Tint Choux, sweet and jelly bean-like, but not really. iT JUST SMELLS GOOD. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Etude House Dear My Wish Lips Talk; which I have in BE102; has a really thick and sturdy lid like the previous product. The bullet is flat and slightly raised unlike a typical lipstick bullet which I don't really mind, although some don't like it for accuracy, but meh. The packaging is really nice, and the cUtE LIttLE bOw how does one resist? Doesn't really have a scent, but you can pick up on hints of rose. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Innisfree Vivid Tint Rouge; which I have in #10 Raspberry Red; doesn't have the cutest packaging. It's not super adorable like Etude House or Tony Moly packaging, but I like it. It reflects the natural, earthy theme that Innisfree carries, and I like how the colour can be seen. It's practical, and it's all about the product inside right? The applicator is a doe foot applicator with a little dip in the middle to pick up more product. It holds the right amount of product for my lips and on the inside it has a really nice scraper that the applicator pops out of, not bringing too little or too much product, which I really appreciate. It has a subtle sweet, fruity scent. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint; which I have in both RD301 and OR202; are probably my favourite lip tint. The packaging is fresh and cute, the applicator is a typical doe foot applicator and it smells like asian grape lollies. Mmm, my favourite.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Aritaum Honey Melting Tint in Sugar Syrup is a beautiful colour, is moisturising and melts into my lips with a glossy finish. It wears well for 2-3 hours without eating, and after that the colour sinks into the lines of my lips and clings to the dry patches of my lips that start to form, which isn't a pretty sight. It's something that would need to be wiped off and reapplied, well at least for me. It doesn't stain my lips, but it does tint my lips with a nice sheen and a lip balm like formula. I like it when I'm not wearing it for a long portion of time. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in OR202, despite it's packaging colour and the colour of the applicator, it applies on my lips in a sheer peachy pink, evening out my lip colour. It's a subtle hint of colour on my quite pigmented lips, and it's extremely natural. It stays for 4-5 hours without eating. It's not the most moisturising tint, but it doesn't transfer and stays put. I love the red shade for when I want a brighter option. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Etude House Dear My Jelly Lips Talk in PK002 is described as a sheer lipstick with a high shine. It really is a sheer lipstick and the colour is definitely buildable. It gives my lips a nice shine, a nice fuchsia tint that isn't too bright pink (as I'm more of a rose-brown pink, natural lip colour girl who's trying to be more daring and out there with my lip colours). It's super moisturising and reminds me of the Kissful Tint Choux in a lipstick form that doesn't stain as much. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Etude House Dear My Wish Lips Talk in BE102 is the smoothest lipstick I've ever used, literally. It glides on my lips like ACTUAL BUTTER. IT IS THAT SMOOTH, NO JOKE. Not only does it glide on my lips like butter, it keeps my lips as moisturised as a lip balm, has the pigmentation of a really good quality lipstick, and wears off evenly. The shade I bought wasn't the most out there colour, but I will definitely be getting more. BEST. LIPSTICK. I'VE. EVER. TRIED. If you are a lip product junkie like me and don't own these yet, you need them. Trust me, you really do. </span><br />

Other than that, I love it. </span><br />

Hope this review helped at all, and if it didn't, meh, I'm off to buy more things to review! xD (I'm kind of broke, so I'll probably go read heaps of review and add things to my wishlist instead, don't try and deny you don't do this for hours).</span></div>

On a happier note, I won some fabulous MOR goodies from a competition, which definitely made me happy! </span></div>

I bought one item from BeautyNetKorea and a couple items from TesterKorea. It was my second time shopping from BNK and my first from TK, so let me share my experiences with them and my haul! Yay! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My TK order was purchased on 24/01/15, shipped 02/02/15 (9 days later) and received 13/02/15 (11 days later), so a total of 20 days. My BNK order was purchased on 21/01/15, shipped on 22/02/15 (1 day) and received on 13/02/15 (22 days) so a total of 23 days (shipping to Australia). They both arrived today and it made me super excited! Let's get on to the items!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I only bought one item from BNK, and that was the TonyMoly Appletox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream. It came in a cardboard box, individually bubble wrapped like the last time I ordered. The product comes in this ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE green apple packaging which makes so super happy because I'm and absolute sucker for packaging. Even the little 'leaf' makes me so happy! *smiles with glee* </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It smells like apples, but not an artificial asian candy scent. More like fresh, crisp apples. It comes with a plastic lid inside the cute packaging to keep the product from transferring on the lid and into the grooves of the lid. Only thing is that the lid kind of screws on unevenly, so I don't know if that's just mine. Also, it didn't come with a little spatula thing which means hands, and makes it less hygienic. But the packaging is so cute, that it can be forgiven.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My TK order came in this yellow box, kind of a plastic-cardboard? I don't know. It came with a layer of bubble wrap on the bottom, top and these foam thingies in between the products. A bit of a nuisance when all I wanted was to grab all my products and inhale their scents as well as slather them all over wherever they go, but I restrained myself otherwise. At least they kept my items well cushioned! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Mizon Water Volume Aqua Gel Cream comes in this pretty blue tube and box, which the colour alone makes me feel happy. The product feels light, moisturising and quite like a serum. It's got a gel texture that's quite thin, and it has a slight fresh scent. I haven't used it long enough (since I got my order today) to give a full on review, but I like it so far!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've heard heaps about the Skinfood mask line, and after reading a couple reviews, I wasn't sure if the black sugar mask would be too abrasive for my dry and sensitive skin, and if the rice mask would be too gentle and not scrub enough. I figured that it would be better to be safe, and if it doesn't exfoliate enough I can always buy the black sugar one another time! It doesn't come with something to get the product out, making it lose points in the hygiene department. It comes with a plastic lid with the brand name like a lot of asian skincare products so that the product doesn't make the lid all messy. It has a faint floral-ish scent which I don't mind, it's nothing too harsh though.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Innisfree Green Tea Gel Hand Cream is 50ml and comes in a foil sealed green tube. I love the packaging, 'cause it has similar packaging materials to the L'Occitane and the Crabtree and Evelyn hand creams and that makes me feel rich! I haven't used it yet as it's a backup for my current green tea gel hand cream, but it smells divine! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was debating which lipstick to pick up from the Etude House range, since I'd heard heaps about their lipsticks (and wanted to limit myself to buying one, since I have waay too many lip products), so I chose the Dear My Wish Talk in BE102, since I heard that they were creamier and smoother than the Dear My Blooming Talk lipsticks. The packaging is very sturdy, and EXTREMELY, BEYOND MYSELF CUTE. I CAN'T GET OVER IT. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. The actual product is extremely smooth, creamy, pigmented and moisturising. I had some swatches, but I realised how horrible the lighting was and that it didn't represent the shade properly in real life, so I skipped on them, as by that time it was too dark to take more pictures (and I wanted to get this post up asap). BE102 is a pink-nude and is a MLBB on me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aritaum Honey Melting Tint is one of my favourites. It smells sweet, almost slightly fruity. Not only is the colour super cute (a nice medium pink with hints of coral shade) but the formula is super pigmented, super moisturising, and feels like a balm. The packaging may not be as cute as the Etude House products, but the product inside is definitely a love!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Holika Holika's Jewel Light Waterproof Eyeliner is the smoothest, creamiest eyeliner I've ever tried! It glided on my hand like butter, and is really waterproof! I thought that my Rimmel ones I was using were creamy, but they pale in comparison to these! They're also super cheap, half the price of some of the Rimmel ones (in Australia at least). Only problem is that I'm pretty sure that it is retractable, but when I opened it the retractor didn't work...?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">edit: I forgot to write about the eyeliner, and only realised when I woke up T_T</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TesterKorea has the cheapest and widest range of samples than any other website I've known of, so I picked up quite a few. The Skinfood Royal Honey Hydro Essence and TonyMoly Appletox Honey Creams were just impulses since they were quite popular and I had heard good things about them. The Innisfree Green Tea Serum was something I wanted to try, but didn't exactly want to purchase it just yet, so samples were the way to go. The TonyMoly Intense Dual Effect Sleeping Pack is something I bought for my mum. I've heard of quite a lot in terms of it as a good anti-ageing product, and although the samples might not do much, it would be good to make sure she's not allergic to any ingredients before purchasing a full size.</span><br />

I am, as it says, a firm believer that one can't have too many lip products, so I'm starting this series (or whatever, call it what you will) lip buys. If I think that I've purchased a sufficient amount of lip products in one month, or two or three, I'll make a blog post displaying all my buys with swatches and reviews! Hope you'll enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First off is the NYX Cosmetics Pure Decadence Butter Gloss set. It's one of their limited edition Valentine's Day sets, and especially since they had 25% off all NYX at Target until this Wednesday, I got this for around $10.45, making them around $3.50 each. Considering their RRPs are $9.95 each, they're definitely a steal! They come with three shades; Red Velvet; what I think is a blue toned cherry red on my skin tone, and what the NYX website says is a 'deep red'. Tiramisu; a pink toned nude on my skin tone, and what the NYX website says is a 'brown', which I definitely don't agree with. You can see in the swatches below that it does look brown, but it has pink tones, and not a brown brown. Devil's Food Cake is my favourite out of them all, as it's a dark plum purple, and what the website says is a deep plum which I do agree with. I like wearing it with a sheet wash over my lips, and building up the colour as well. I'd been wanting Red Velvet and Devil's Food Cake for a while now anyway, and even though I already own Tiramisu, it can be a great gift anytime! The formula smells HEAVENLY and are so smooth and do glide on like butter on the lips (without the taste and the oily feel) and set well. They do need touchups like any gloss, but they're one of my favourite formulas. Not too sticky, and not too slippery. Only drawback is that after a while (2-4 hours) they get quite sticky and gather in the lines of my lips which can be noticed close up, and clings to the inside of my lips which is where my lips start to flake first, and I end up picking it off. Other than that, I'm up for a great deal, anytime.</span><br />

Chemist Warehouse were having a 50% off all cosmetics a couple weeks back, so why not take advantage of that? I picked up two of her matte formulas in 107 and 111, Kiss of Life. I also picked up one of the regular formulas in 103. 107 is a nice dark, vampy berry red on me, 111 is a beautiful cherry red shade, and 103 is a nude on my skin tone. The formulas are beautiful - smooth, creamy and moisturising. 107 and 111 are extremely moisturising as far as matte lipsticks go, and although some people hate the smell, I honestly don't mind it. The matte line is more transfer proof than the normal ones, and wear like normal lipsticks. If you were to wear them for a while with eating, sometimes they cling to dry patches and stain unevenly, so it's better to reapply. They're great buys and I definitely recommend! The shade range is pretty good too, and definitely more affordable than Revlon Matte Lipsticks when they're 50% off too!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My next two buys were also a result of the 50% off all cosmetics sale at Chemist Warehouse, and they were the Maybelline Colour Elixir in Raspberry Rhapsody and the Rimmel Apocalips in Apocaliptic. One of my New Year's Resolutions is to be more daring with my lip colours (as I tend to gravitate towards the rose-pink, natural and brown shades, the MLBBs), and I quite like the purple trend. I'm not that into pinks, as I feel they don't really go with my skintone and I just don't really care for pinks. If I were to go bold, I'd go red or purple, or a deep shade. The Elixirs have a lovely scent, are moisturising, glossy, not too sticky and are great. Raspberry Rhapsody looks like a beautiful purple shade, but it looks pink with a hint of purple on my lips. I like it, not too purple (like the Vision in Violet shade they offer), and not too pink! The colour is also extremely buildable, which I like. Only downside is that the security seal ruined one of the sides of the shiny silver lid, and after a while (4-5 hours) when it starts to fade away and dry, it becomes sticky and the pigmentation clings on to the dry flakes of my lips that start from the inside, so it looks like I have bright pink inner lips. Not the best look, so it's better to wipe off and reapply often. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Rimmel Apocalips is like a liquid lipstick - smooth, moisturising, extremely pigmented with a semi-matte finish. Apocaliptic is like a pink-red shade, and it's beautiful. The scent is just like the Rimmel Kate Moss Lipsticks. Only problem it's not transfer proof, and transfers easily and doesn't really stain the lips. If it were to be somewhat transfer proof, I'd love and wear it to death. I haven't tried setting it with transluscent powder though yet, so maybe I'll try that. But other than that, I love it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can see with the swatches, I added in pictures of the applicators for the various products (minus the lipstick as theyre just regular bullets). NYX butter glosses are typical doe foot applicators with a spongy feel. Maybelline Elixirs have a slanted tapered applicator with a pointy tip which is perfect for getting in the cupid's bow and the corners of the lips. It also feels super nice on the lips, and it's my favourite applicator to apply with because of how it feels. The Rimmel Apocalips have a doe foot applicator with a well in the middle to pick up more product and also has a spongy feel. The Maybelline Colour Elixirs have the best neck of bottle to take off excess product.</span></div>

Over the Christmas period, I made a whole lot home made ice-cream, I think enough cupcakes and icing to swim in, and used enough butter to give someone a heart attack. In January, I've tried vanilla macarons, which did taste pretty good, but were kind of burnt (and not exactly the most photogenic out of them all). I've gotten the shape right, I just needed to get the buttercream right and not burn them. The next ones I'm going to try are matcha green tea ones, and I'll definitely do a blogpost when I get around to making those! I also made some banana bread, because what else do you do with ripe bananas that are ripe beyond freezing and putting into a smoothie? Along with that, my family tried creme brûlée, which worked, except our blowtorch decided not to work. Amongst all these other sugary treats, I made what I like to call my babies, cream puffs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'd heard so much about how choux pastry is so hard to master, and that they can deflate and go wrong like a balloon that has a tiny hole in it. <a href="http://bakerbettie.com/classic-cream-puffs/">This</a> recipe makes the thought of making choux pastry not as intimidating as I thought it was. On top of all of it, they taste delicious! They don't look exactly perfect, and they're pretty lopsided, but they're delicious, so that doesn't really matter does it? (Unless you're like Donna Hay).</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was my birthday on the tenth, and let's just say that it wasn't my best day. I felt quite sick, and it just wasn't great. But on a happier note, I wrote up my full list of goals for 2015, and mentioned my major ones last post. One big one that I forgot to mention was to appreciate everything. Appreciate the smallest of things, not just the big things, as if I've learnt anything it's that we often take things for granted. We take our friends for granted, we take our family for granted, and you end up falling into a routine where you're so used to it, that once it's taken away, you realise how much they actually mean to you. I want to get more into photography this year, and since we do have a pretty nice DSLR camera just sitting around with it's battery uncharged most of the time, I figured I'd learn how to use it a bit. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was about to close the curtains tonight when I looked outside to see the sky streaked colours, the clouds a beautiful shade of scarlet, and the sky going from a light blue, to blue grey, to a candy orange and then pale yellow. It was one of those things I had to capture to appreciate before it was gone, because that's what sunsets do. They appear, and before you can blink they're gone, as if those beautiful streaks of red, orange and yellow didn't even exist.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2015; it sounds pretty daunting right? Especially for some people like me who will probably find themselves writing the date as 2013 at some point this year. I'm not really into the whole 'New Year, New Me' thing and 'New Years Resolutions' because honestly, if you think about it, going into 2015 is the same as going from the last day of August to the first day of September, or just from the 15th of May to the 16th of May. If you were to say that with a new year comes a new you, wouldn't it be the same as saying a new day comes a new you? Saying that it's a new year is just a way of drawing a line in time, or all that jazz about the earth orbiting the sun. I'm not even sure if any of that made any form of sense, but let's move on from that. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New Year's Resolutions aren't exactly my thing, because I find that year after year I make resolutions which I convince myself I'm going to keep and keep them for the first two weeks; most of which have to do with working out. It's always 'only a little bit', but I had to face that there was absolutely no way that unless with some real hardcore dedication, I'd be able to do my 'workout' every day for 365 days. I would tell myself at the start 'that it's only fifteen minutes of my day, and that's the time I probably spend instagram stalking every day', but nope. I find it funny that despite the defintion of resolution; 'A</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> firm decision to do or not do something' it's hard to keep that firm decision to do it. I just personally prefer goals. A</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;">lthough both being quite similar, I see resolutions as something that I tell myself I can do and eventually drop. Goals are something that you can see in the distance and continue working hard to achieve. Again, i have no idea if any that actually made any sense, but oh well. I thought that I'd list my goals for this year.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;">- Procrastinate Less; <span style="font-size: x-small;">I procrastinate a hell of a lot, way more than I should. Last year I left way too many tests to study for the day before, thinking I could rely on my class knowledge and go on Twitter, YouTube or any other form of social media and ended up producing a mark where I could've gotten better. Procrastinating less is just goes hand in hand with the previous one.</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;">- Be Nicer and Love More; <span style="font-size: x-small;">because sometimes I find myself being not as nice as I should be, and not watching what comes out of my mouth. I also want to appreciate everything in my life including my family and friends, because sometimes I realise that I don't treasure them as much as I should. </span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;">- Grow Closer to God; <span style="font-size: x-small;">I don't know how many read my blog, and I doubt that there's many, but I am Christian, and I feel that sometimes I slack on my relationship with him (a lot more than I should) and I want to improve on my relationship with him.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">- </span>Not Be Afraid; <span style="font-size: x-small;">sometimes I find that I'm afraid to try new things, to speak my mind, to do things in general in fear of being judged. I'm slowly learning, but I want to be less and less afraid to not care and worry what people think, to not hold back on new things and speaking my mind, because we only regret the chances that we didn't take. </span></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Despite what I said earlier about not believing in the whole 'New Year, New Me' thing, I do believe in the whole starting over. I know people like to see the new year as a blank page; a clean slate; that with a new year comes a new start. I believe in this outlook, but I prefer to believe that instead of with a new year comes a new start, that with every day comes a new start. A new year is just another 365 new starts to me. Here I'll leave you with two not very good photos of the sunset today, because I'm not very good at photography. </span></div>

Not only is it the time where little kids get super excited at the idea of Santa, leaving cookies and milk out and trying to stay up to get a glimpse of his shining sleigh and prancing reindeer; it's also the time when, depending on what you enjoy, we can get excited for food, giving presents, receiving presents, wearing a cute Christmassy outfit, wearing your favourite red lip, the sunshine (or snuggling up in your warm blankets and pyjamas for those in the northern hemisphere), the smell of a fresh Christmas tree (or an artificial one), making your room and house all festive (basically making everything you can think of festive) and some nice family time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love decorating the tree. Most years I go away with my family to another part of Australia to visit the rest of our family, but this year we're staying here and they're coming down here. Since it's the first time we've been able to have a tree in years, we borrowed a tree from a friend who's was much bigger and nicer than our lame, short, artificial tree from over seven years ago. We figured we'd borrow one since she was going away and didn't need the tree, and it's the first time we weren't going away, so save money yeah? :P I was so happy with the decorations I was able to get. We ended up getting some glass and ceramic ones from Myer since they were 35% off and some ceramic and porcelain ones from Lincraft since they were 50% off. I went for a red, gold and white/silver theme. I intended going for a red and white/silver theme, but I wanted an angel ornament and the only one I liked was in gold, so I thought I'd add some gold to it. I was really scared that the glass baubles would fall off and break (or I'd drop them), but I didn't, which I'm happy for. We also found these really nice scented stick ornaments that smell like fresh Christmas trees and hollies. We hung some up and the tree smells so nice! Too bad you can't smell it...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are some shots of our tree an my favourite parts of it. I'm really happy with how it turned out, and my glass ones and the snowflake are definitely my favourite ornaments. If you might see, I did hang one of my Domo's up on the tree as an ornament too. I figured that his mouth does have some red in it, and he's pretty cute anyway, so why not? ^-^</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another thing that I believe is a big part of Christmas is the crackers. The thing is, I find crackers to although be fun to pull apart, the jokes are lame (and some don't even make sense), if it does come with chocolate, it's the bad dollar store kind and the other things inside useless and junky (which is not worth what you pay for them). I thought I'd make my own! I found these make your own cracker kits at Lincraft in their 50% off sale, and picked up a couple. Yeah they do come with the lame jokes and the paper crowns, but I left out some of the jokes because some of them were so lame and didn't make any sense. I still kept the crowns and stuffed them in because even though they're useless, they're kind of traditional for crackers. I made some for females and some for males, since I thought some cute rubbers from Daiso and EOS lip balms I found at Costco were great cracker stuffers along with some good Lindt chocolate balls.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've also been thoroughly enjoying wrapping the presents. I wrapped all of the presents for cousins and everyone else under the tree except mine. I alternated between a cute light brown wrapping paper with red birds and various swirls/designs with red ribbon and brown kraft paper and red ribbon. I got both of the paper at K-Mart, and I got the kraft paper for only $5 and 10m of it? I thought that was a steal, 'cause I love the look of it with a nice brightly coloured ribbon. It's much thicker than wrapping paper, but it's still tearable, so it doesn't take too much fun out of it for the people who like to rip their paper, despite making me sad as I watch what I thought looked beautiful and took time ripped into shreds in a matter of seconds...and yes, I am one of those people who care about how pretty wrapped presents look. ._. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also love cooking and baking. We're doing most of the cooking, and I'm helping my mum out in the kitchen. I love potatoes, so I have to make huge amounts of roast potatoes (because who would say no to roast potatoes?) and I'm also making tiramisu and two ice-cream flavours with mochi. Mochi is one of my favourite toppings for ice-cream as it adds a bit of chewiness and texture to it. Mochi is made out of glutinous rice flour, water, sugar and optional colour and flavouring. When I eat it with ice-cream I prefer it plain with no colour or flavouring. This is the recipe that I use (which is not mine, but adapted from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4J-mu1AZgk">Honeysuckle Catering's Mochi Ice-Cream Recipe</a>):</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 cup glutinous rice flour</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3/4 cup water</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/4 cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cornflour for dusting</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Combine glutinous rice flour and water in a bowl. Once combined well, add sugar and mix until combined. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cover with some plastic wrap and put it in the microwave and microwave for 2 minutes (since I have a 1100 watt microwave, I do 1 1/2 minutes to be safe). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take it out and stir so it doesn't burn, and recover and microwave for a further 30 seconds. Take it out of the microwave and let it cool. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Once it's cool enough to touch without burning yourself, put it on a well floured surface and knead until it's not sticky and well covered with the cornflour. You don't want it too sticky that it sticks all over your hands, and not too floury that all you get it flour when you eat it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Roll in out into a sausage shape, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Before you're ready to serve, cut it into bite sized pieces and top your ice-cream with it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It tastes better if you eat it the day you make it, or the day after (if making at night) as it gets hard after a couple of days. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the ice-cream I'm making this year, I haven't fully decided on the flavours, but I'm tossing up between caramelised pecan, candy cane, matcha green tea, vanilla bean and strawberry (which some I haven't tried, but will probably have to go with trial and error), not only because they're super festive (colours and flavours), but also because it's a great way to use up those candy canes that lie around. I love peppermint hot chocolate, but since we're blessed with the sunshine at Christmas, hot chocolate isn't the ideal drink. I don't really like eating candy canes plain, but in ice-cream? Everything's better in ice-cream! This is the recipe I use (which is not mine, but adapted (to Australian measurements) from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFG-Z5cNR5I">Gemma Stafford's 6 Holiday Ice-Cream Recipes</a>):</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">400ml condensed milk</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">500ml whipping cream/heavy cream</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 cup pecans, chopped</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/3 cup brown sugar</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 tbsp butter</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 cup candy canes/peppermint sweets</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Put the whipping cream in a bowl and whisk with an electric beater or stand up mixer until stiff peaks form. Pour in condensed milk and whisk until well combined. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Split mixture in half. For caramelised pecans, place pecans, brown sugar and butter in a pan on medium-low heat. Once sugar has melted and browned, pour on to baking paper and when set, crumble into pieces. Mix into the ice-cream base. For candy canes, crush into small bits and fold into ice-cream base. Put into containers and freeze. It makes about 500ml each and tastes absolutely amazing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've used this recipe and added macadamias, honey nut cashews, vanilla extract and honey and it tasted amazing! I figured it would be Vanilla Honey Nut? It tasted good though, and that's what matters right?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For beauty, red is where it's at. Red and white is my kind of Christmas, since I'm not too fond of how green looks against my skin. I mean, where can you find green lipstick in the store anyway? I leave the greenery to my Christmas tree ^-^</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love my Etude House Fresh Cherry Lip Tint in 01 Cherry Red and Etude House Kissful Tint Choux in 01 Red Choux for my lips. It looks like a cherry pink-red on the lips rather than a true red though. I prefer the tints over lipstick because I can choose if I want slightly red lips or the full on red look. It's also super moisturising and doesn't come off when I eat and drink, avoiding those lip prints on your glasses, food and it won't get on your teeth! Although the lip print might be a good way to tell your cup apart from everyone else's! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've also been loving the NYX Butter Glosses in general. First of all, they smell absolutely amazing (compared to the Mega Shine Glosses; the artificial cough-syrup cherry scent is what put me off them despite their amazing reviews), like sweet sugar and vanilla cupcakes. As someone who loves to bake often, it's definitely a good scent in my books. The colour range is really nice, and I have the shades Red Velvet, Tiramisu and Angel Food Cake. Red Velvet is a nice red wit a blue undertone. which I really like on. Tiramisu is a pink based nude on my skin tone and Angel Food Cake is like a mauve-pink. Also, thumbs up for all the names, they make me crave cakes and desserts!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For nails I love the Kester Black Nail Polish for Bellabox in Coral Me Maybe, the Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Brick Wall and the Essence Colour to Go Nail Polish in Fame Fatal. They're all very different kinds of reds, Coral Me Maybe being a bright coral-red, Brick Wall being a dark wine red and Fame Fatal being the true red. I have Coral Me Maybe on my nails right now. I got it in my October Bellabox, but it is available on the Bellabox store as it is made exclusively for Bellabox. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It says on the Bellabox store: </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can get away with two coats, and it goes on smoothly and has worn well for five days until chipping to the point where you need to redo them. Maybe it's my Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat, but I like it. The formula is great and the colour is nice and bright, but personally I wouldn't spend $20 on a nail polish ($6 is where I draw the line, considering I tend to want so many of the colours; I can't afford to want 10 colours and pay like $15 for them xD). Brick Wall is an Autumn/Winter favourite, but I thought I'd throw that one in there too. The formula is thinner than most polishes, but the Hard as Nails line wears really well, better than all my other nail polishes without a top coat (but the opaqueness of the colours do vary). The Essence polishes are always a fave for me, since the majority of the shades are really good. They go on smoothly with two coats for the most part, wear pretty well and the brush is fat, making it easy to apply the polish. For around $3 a piece, they're really worth it. I'll probably be wearing the Kester Black and the Essence one more. I mean, it's summery and bright days for us here, so why not embrace that? (Meaning, I still wear heaps of grey and black, but the colour on my nails make me somewhat summery..?)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Christmas music - one of my favourite aspects of Christmas. Can I just say now that Michael Buble's voice IS Christmas? It makes Christmas even more Christmas if even possible and I just love it. It's the album I've been jamming to since October (no shame) and puts me in the Christmassy mood. I love the whole album, but my favourites are 'It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas', 'Jingle Bells', 'White Christmas', 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town', 'All I Want for Christmas', 'Winter Wonderland', 'Santa Baby', 'Holly Jolly Christmas', 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)' and 'Blue Christmas'. </span><br />

Also, I've been obsessed with Amy and Ellen's Christmas single, 'Jesus, All We Need'. I love it, not only because their voices are absolutely breathtaking (as are they), but also because I love the lyrics 'cause to me, they perfectly represent the true meaning of Christmas. Also because the tune is lovely and, ugh I just love it. I mean, does the forty times I've listened to it in the past three days and the 5 stars I've given it say anything about it? </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">Closed, I'm scared of moths flying in my closet and eating holes in my clothes.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">2. Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">Uh, yes, it's free!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">3. Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">Out - always has to be out. In hotels, I always pull them out before sleeping, I hate feeling trapped. At home, I don't even sleep with a sheet, and if I do it's always scrunched at the bottom 'cause I kick it to the bottom.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">4. Have you ever stolen a street sign before?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">No.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">5. Do you like to use post-it notes?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">Yes, although in Australia the Post-It brand is pretty expensive.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">6. Do you cut out coupons but then never use them?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">I don't cut them out, I rip them out when I need them, or if I find them.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">7. Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of a bees?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">A big bear? </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">8. Do you have freckles?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">I don't think so.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">9. Do you always smile for pictures?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">Depends on the situation, it's either smile or derp.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">10. What is your biggest pet peeve?</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">Sometimes.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">12. Have you ever peed in the woods?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">No.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">13. What about pooped in the woods?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">No.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">14. Do you ever dance even if theres no music playing?</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">78. Who would you like to see in concert?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">Ed Sheeran or Taylor Swift again.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">79. What was the last concert you saw?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">Taylor Swift's Speak Now.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">80. Hot tea or cold tea?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">Cold tea for the most part, but warm milk tea is amazing in winter.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">81. Tea or coffee?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">Well I like cold tea so tea.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">82. Sugar or snickerdoodles?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">I'm assuming this means sugar cookies, not sugar by itself, and I prefer snickerdoodles.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">83. Can you swim well?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">I can swim, but not the best.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">84. Can you hold your breath without holding your nose?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">Yeah, but not for long.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">85. Are you patient?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">It depends, if I'm bored (or involves me being hungry) then no.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">86. DJ or band, at a wedding?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">Band is classier, I feel like DJ's are more parties and school dances ("I ought to cancel your Spring Fling. But I can't do that 'cause we've already paid the DJ." Mean Girls anyone?)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">87. Ever won a contest?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">Yeah.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">88. Ever have plastic surgery?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">No.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">89. Which are better black or green olives?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">No olives.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">90. Can you knit or crochet?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">I can finger knit and hand knit...?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">91. Best room for a fireplace?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">Living room.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">92. Do you want to get married?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">In the future, yes.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">93. If married, how long have you been married?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">I'm not married.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">94. Who was your HS crush?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">How does one have a crush for all of high school? And I haven't had one yet.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">95. Do you cry and throw a fit until you get your own way?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">When I was three yes. Now, not as much.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">96. Do you have kids?</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">Yes, in the future.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">Black (I clearly don't care about all the 'black is a shade not a colour' crap)</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">Yes, my friend who moved across the country.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>

I highly doubt anyone would've read that since I'm not exactly interesting, but if you did, comment and tell me you did! I'd be so surprised!</span><br />

I've gone through a lot of their items, and quite a few of their beauty items. I'm here to share my thoughts about them for you now ^_^</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here we have the Daiso Cotton Puffs. I've repurchased these at least five times because I love them so much. They are an absolute essential for me. They're like cotton rounds, but rectangular, puffy, soft and lovely. They come in a box on 90 like below, but two of the boxes. So that's basically 180 puffs of happiness for $2.80, how could you go wrong?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the Daiso Marine Lotion. It comes in a nice pump bottle, and I believe is meant to resemble a serum of some sorts? It's like an unset jelly consistency and feels nice on the skin. I'm not sure if it's improved my skin, but I stopped using it because I didn't feel it did much. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've heard many reviews on the Daiso Charcoal line. They all seemed to be positive, so I grabbed the charcoal peel off mask. I assume it was meant to clear my pores, but I didn't see anything. Then when a tried with a biore nose strip (which are always trust worthy) nothing came off? It didn't work for my friend, so either I have very clear pores or it just doesn't work. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't know what they're called exactly, but theyre some of Daiso's lip products. The first is a slim lipstick and the second one is a lip gloss. I'm indifferent about the lipstick, since it has too much shimmer in it for my liking, but I really like the lip gloss. It smells like sweet milk tea in my opinion, and it's a nice lip gloss, especially for $2.80. It's got the right amount of stickiness, but not too much and quite nice colour payoff. I haven't found it again though...so I don't know where you can find it. I guess it's kind of pick and choose. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, these are Daiso's oil blotting sheets. They have a huge selection, and I've seen many reviews on them, so this is my thoughts. I have the Cutie Star 200 Blotting Sheets and the Silk 100 Blotting Sheets. The Cutie Star one may have twice the amount as the Silk ones, but aren't as soft and convenient to grab. I find myself grabbing two or three when I intend to take one out of it, and end up sometimes wasting one anyway. I like the easy accessibility of the Silk ones, and they're much softer on the skin. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't have a picture, but I've tried the BB, Collagen, Q10 Coenzyme and Honey Sheet Masks. None of them impressed me, they left my skin kind of sticky and didn't do anything to make my skin feel any better like the My Beauty Diary, Innisfree and Etude House Sheet Masks that I've tried in the past. Even the cheaper ones from Korean grocery stores have done more to my skin than them. This one is a pass for me. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've got their tweezers, and they're okay. They're good for $2.80 when you see the great reviews of tweezerman tweezers then see the price. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are the beauty things I've tried from Daiso. I really like their craft section and some of their eating plates/bowls are pretty cool too (and same with their food). I'll be taking another trip to Daiso soon for some other things (like their display folders? I love them). Anyway, that's it for now!</span></div>

In case you didn't know, and MLBB stands for a 'my lips but better' product. I have pale, pinky-mauve-nude lips, is the best way I can describe it. These are my top MLBB's with reviews (:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First one is the Maybelline Colour Elixir in Caramel Infused. I won't go too much on about this one, since I did a review in my <a href="http://thehungrylittleturtle.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/priceline-40-off-cosmetics-haul-review.html">Priceline 40% off Cosmetics Haul and Review</a>. I like the sweet smell, I like the precise applicator (which is super soft and lovely on the lips, may I add), I like the what I call 'perfect lip gloss' formula, I love the sleek packaging and I love the colour. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Second one is the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in 07 Nudist. It's not really a nude to me, but it's the most nude out of the range. It's quite pink, and the most different from my natural lip shade out of the four, but it's easily worn by me. These are highly pigmented, cream mousse-like liquid lipsticks. They glide on opaque and leave a nice matte finish. Only thing is that they can get sticky throughout the day, and smells like silly string (eugh!). But, I really like the colour...so it's totally worth it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Third one is the Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle. The Revlon lip butters are fabulous. Sheer, buttery colour with a smooth moisturising formula and all the rage in the beauty community about one to two years ago. The formula is great, the colours are great and I just overall love them. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My last one is the Ulta3 Matte Lipstick in Brown Sugar. It's a mauve-brown, more autumn-y for me as it's darker than the rest on my lips. I love the formula, especially for a matte lipstick. It's very smooth and creamy and doesn't leave my lips super dry. Their entire range is fabulous anyway, so if you see them, check 'em out!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As some may know, on Tuesday and Wednesday the 18th and 19th of November, Priceline had a 40% off cosmetics sale. Most people went completely gaga, stocking up on old favourites, grabbing new things, impulsively buying anything that was popular or looked good and using this chance to grab some things they've had their eye on for a while. You may know heaps of people who took this chance to spend over $200, but me being, well me, I just picked up some things that I've heard good reviews on. Even then it totalled to over $50, which is still a price I'd regretfully spend, while to others that's like cents to them. Anyway, here's the things I bought and my thoughts!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And, my exams officially finished yesterday, EEEEEE! (Reason why I've been MIA recently) I feel like I need to study, but I don't have anything to study for and that, makes me very very happy. I actually got my bottom braces today, so it's mashed potato and overcooked pasta for me for the next couple days, but I definitely don't mind (especially for heaps of potato, hehehe ^_^) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I still have yet to try the Covergirl Clump Crusher Extensions, but from reviews I've seen, it looks pretty good. I'm not sure how I feel about the brush being out of the mascara tube, but I like that you can actually get a glimpse of how the brush looks like instead of pulling it out and seeing a slightly defined wand covered in gloopy black stuff. (That doesn't sound great, since we do put that 'gloopy black stuff' on our lashes, but meh, it makes them look good ._.). I like the packaging, I like the bright green colour as it's very eye catching. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the Maybelline Lasting Drama Waterproof Eyeliner, it was my first gel eyeliner. I've tried many pencils and some liquid, but I've seen heaps of people rave about how gel eyeliner is their favourite form of liner, so i thought I'd give it a try. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First of all, I love it. I think it may be my favourite form of eyeliner too now. I like how the gel is creamy, pigmented and glides on to the upper lash line. It can be easily smudged out and is quite forgiving for my not so steady hands. I find that although there are some very creamy pencil eyeliners, I find myself going over them on my upper lash line. Liquid liners are great when I want a nice precise line, but again, not very steady hands. Especially with my favourite liquid eyeliner (the Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Liner) being waterproof, it gets frustrating after a while having to remove my mistakes (along with the good part of my eyeliner) and doing it again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now for the actual product, it is very black, not patchy and nice. The brush is quite nice for an included brush, being a soft but sturdy, rounded edged brush. The cover that comes with it is open, but fits snugly. I do prefer to use a small angled brush, but it's still quite nice. It's not exactly 'waterproof and smudge proof' as promised, as it did smudge under my eyes a tiny bit and when I rubbed my eyes, some black came off onto my fingers. But I still like it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Maybelline Full 'N Soft is one of my repurchases. It's a lovely mascara for a natural look. It gives my lashes length, a tiny bit of volume and quite a natural look which I like. It doesn't leave my lashes clumpy and gives them a nice, clean look. It smudges a tiny bit on me, but that's what the waterproof version is for right?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Essence Gel Eyeliner in Cocoa Bean was one of those 'it looks good' impulse purchases I was talking about earlier. I thought that I really like the Essence Long Lasting Eyeliners, and since gel eyeliner in a pencil seems to be all the rage right now, it sounds promising. Plus it's a twist up and at less than $3? Why not right? It's very creamy, pigmented and smooth. It goes on smoothly and feels like well, a gel eyeliner in a pencil! It's not exactly a gel eyeliner, but what do you expect huh? It's not waterproof like it states, but it's like a normal pencil on me, which is what I prefer anyway. </span></div>

<span style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><u>Lips</u></span><span style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">For lips, I picked up the Maybelline Colour Elixir in Caramel Infused, the Maybelline Baby Lips Electro in Pink Shock, Berry Bomb and Oh Orange and the Lanolips Limited Edition Ballerina Set.</span><span style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">The Maybelline Colour Elixir is like a gloss, with a shiny finish. It gives quite a decent colour payoff; it's no liquid lipstick, but it's pretty good. It's not uneven in terms of coverage, and it's easier to see with the brighter colours. Caramel Infused is a very natural colour, a MLBB if you will. It's glossy, moisturising and is a good formula. It smells sweet and has that bit of stickiness where your hair will stick to your lips in the wind, but isn't too sticky to where the product transfers between lips when you press them together. The way a good gloss, in my opinion, should be. I love the packaging, it's sleek with the clear casing ad the product in a lipstick bullet shaped inside. The cap is silver and has a good twist top and a nice doe foot applicator with the point at the end for precise application around the cupids bow and the outer edges of the lips. I love how it feels, I love the colour, I love the scent and I love the packaging. </span><span style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">When I heard the Maybelline Baby Lips Electro collection (well, part of it) were coming to Australia, I freaked. The one time I ordered two of the original ones on eBay, I loved them. I picked them all up, and I love them. Pink Shock is my favourite, since it has the most pigmentation. It makes your lips a nice hot pink colour, but with that glossy look. Like a sheer hot pink gloss, but has lovely hydration. It has a nice sweet 'watermelon' flavour as the packaging says, but it's not that artificial watermelon flavour like watermelon gum. It's quite a sweet and fruity scent, and I like it. The formula is the same for all three, and I love them. Berry Bomb is my second favourite as it gives the lips a nice purple berry wash of colour. It's sheerer than Pink Shock, and has a nice sweet fruity scent to it too, but definitely more on the berry side. Oh Orange is a nice orange which actually lightens my lips and gives them a nice coral sheen. I'm not a fan of the scent though, since it reminds me of Vitamin C tablets. But overall, I like them! The RRP isn't my favourite, but at 40% off? Why not?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Lanolips Ballerina set contains their famous 101 Ointment with Ultra Pure Grade Lanolin and their Intense Hand Balm with Rose Oil. The tin packaging is super cute and pretty, with the feminine and graceful feeling of a ballerina. It's a very nice tin to store things in. Inside there's the two products laid on lots of tissue paper...? Or butchers paper, I'm not sure. The 101 Ointment is definitely one of my holy grails now, just like my Lucas' Papaw Ointment. It moisturises even the most chapped, cracked lips and moisturises my cuticles like no other. It has no scent, and is apparently gentle enough to use on babies. I wouldn't have paid $18 for it, definitely no, but at $11 for both of them? Why not? The Intense Hand Balm with Rose Oil I have yet to try, but from how much I love the Ointment, I'm sure I'll love it too. I love rose scented products anyway, and the packaging of the actual products is super cute too! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I didn't buy much for nails, only one product in fact. I was in definite need of a good top coat, so after reading up many reviews to find one that is accessible in Australia, I picked this one up. It's the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat. I haven't had time to paint my nails yet, therefore being unable to test it yet, but I have high hopes from seeing so many people rave about this top coat. It was probably mainly Cutepolish on YouTube, seeing her nail tutorials and her amazing nails, I trust her opinion. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To the few people reading, these are my October favourites along with detailed reviews! Also, none of these pictures are mine. Credit to whoever's photos they are (:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't have more than one 'makeup' favourite I guess, but I wouldn't want to add extra items to my favourites that I don't actually like, just for the sake of numbers. The other favourite would be my Ulta3 lipsticks, but I already featured them in a post with a review <a href="http://lifeandallitslittlethings.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/my-recent-bargain-finds.html">here.</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, these are the Maybelline Electro Baby Lips. If you are a fellow Australian, you would know that our 'baby lips' are just great smelling chapsticks, with some having a slight colour variation. Finally, they decided to bring three of the six electro baby lips from America to Australian shores after a year...? I'm not exactly sure. Yeah, it's only three, but four out of the six had colour that made a difference to your lips, so I don't mind. I have the ones in Pink Shock and Berry Bomb. Below are the pictures of the American ones, but the only difference with the Australian ones is that they have the colour on the very top of the clear lid and have 'electro pop' in smaller print of the same font as the logo. Pink Shock claims to smell like Watermelon, but it's more of a sweet fruity smell, not exactly berries but close to it. It has incredible pigmentation, for a lip balm anyway. Three swipes gives the lips a nice raspberry pink colour with the shine of a lip gloss, but not sparkly. Berry Bomb has less pigmentation, but gives the lips a nice berry colour. It is NOT close to the bright purple it is perceived as in the tube, it's just gives your lips a slight purple tinge, nothing too dramatic, but I like it. It says to smell like berries as expected, and it does. It smells sweet again, but definitely berries. The formula is amazing. It's buttery smooth, moisturises the lips well and I love the gloss it gives. You don't have to think twice when applying it, and you don't really need a mirror, except I'd still use one if I have the option to, especially with pink shock. The one thing is that sometimes after it wears off, if I don't reapply it and my lips start to get those flaky patches, it'll cling to the flaky bits, but that's just me forgetting and my lips being incredibly dry naturally. That doesn't happen that often anyway though, but I really like them! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can get them at Priceline, Pink Shock <a href="https://www.priceline.com.au/index.php/skincare/lip-care/balms/baby-lips-electro-pop-pink-shock-3.5-g">here</a> and Berry Bomb <a href="https://www.priceline.com.au/index.php/skincare/lip-care/balms/baby-lips-electro-pop-berry-bomb-3.5-g">here.</a> They also have another colour called Oh Orange which I haven't gotten yet, but I might try it, which you can get <a href="https://www.priceline.com.au/index.php/skincare/lip-care/balms/baby-lips-electro-pop-oh-orange-3.5-g">here.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do nails come under makeup? I'm not sure, so that's why I just said one. I'm assuming it does since it's not really skincare...so idk, but pick and choose as you wish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the Essie Millionails. I believe they have newer packaging now, but this is the one I have. The one day I was walking around Myer, searching the clearance bins in case of a good bargain, and I came across this. I've known Essie to be a good brand, but never wanted to spend a whole $20 on one nail polish. Seeing this marked down from $20 to $4, I thought, why not. It said nail strengthener, and apparently it could be used as a base coat. I didn't have a good base coat except for the Face Shop one, and I thought I could give it a try. It does work as a base coat, but I realised it's real purpose.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stupid, I know, since it IS called a nail strengthener. I didn't know I had such weak nails, until I realised that my nails would always snap where it's painful, like really low so that it's unattractively showing skin. I took what I was using as a base coat instead of its real purpose and used it. Damn, my nails didn't snap painfully for a whole three weeks until I got too lazy to cut my nails...oops. But it works really well, and I'm so glad. Saves my nails from looking unattractive and uneven. It also dries super quick and lasts, which I love. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the amazing, life changing Liese Smooth Hair Cocktail. It is a miracle worker, and oh my goodness, your hair will thank it so much. When I was in Thailand, I was in a grocery store and had heard that Liese was a good brand. I scanned the shelf and picked this up because it was super pretty and smelt good, having no idea what it was for. I get home and google it to find it one of the most raved about hair products (along with my next favourite). It says it's a detangler to make your hair feel smooth and silky. Oh My Goodness. A couple sprays of this fabulous smelling, sweet peachy pearly looking spray, give it a couple brushes, and not only does your brush glide through your tangles, but your hair is so freaking smooth. I have these two friends, one who has naturally curly hair but straightens it so often that you'd think it would have heaps of damage. Nope, her hair is silky smooth and when you pick it up slides right out of your hands. The other has ombred her hair, rebonded her hair multiple times, dyed her hair and straightens and curls sometimes, and her hair is also silky smooth. It's just those times when you look at their 'damaged' hair and look at your damaged hair which you use virtually no heat on and envy that smoothness. This, gives you that. I totally sound sponsored, but this actually is a freaking miracle worker. Trust me, buy it if you have dry hair and envy that smoothness. I can't get over this. Also, it's much cheaper than some of those other brands like Toni and Guy. Okay, it may be more expensive here than if you buy it overseas, but it is freaking worth it, trust me. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the Essential Rich Premier Hair Mask. First of all, it smells abso-freaking-lutely amazing. It's sweet and has that honey, and omg I can smell it right now in my mind...anyway >.></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not only that, but whenever my hair feels damaged or in need of some love, I scoop out a good sized amount of this and rub it into the length of my hair. I tie it up in a loose bun and let it sit for as long as I like, depending on how long I want to stay in the shower. After I brush my hair then rinse it out, and it feels softer, smoother and smells amazing. I love this stuff so much, I'm not even kidding. I use it sparingly like any other girl would if they bought their first high end lipstick, or bought a $100 eyeshadow quad or something. Again, it's much more expensive to get it here than in Asia, but meh, it's amazing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the Simple Kind to Skin Moisturising Facial Wash. Speaking from someone who has both dry and sensitive skin, 'kind to skin' sounds pretty convincing, especially put together with moisturising. I got it, not expecting much, but I love it. It's perfect for everyday, gentle, cleans well and I love the foaming that it does. I use it together with my St Ives Green Tea Scrub when I want a deeper clean, to clear any breakouts and if I need extra hydration. I've been using it on and off for over a year now, and every time I reuse it I forget why I stopped using it for a while in the first place. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the Impulse Romantic Spark Aerosol Body Spray. I really like this. I used to use Love Story, until I realised I smelt like basically all the other girls in my grade, and I didn't like that. So I decided to buy this one, and I like it. It smells quite similar to Love Story, in that sweet, floral scent, but with different undertones. Love Story is a lot sweeter, but I'm not the best, so trust <a href="http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Impulse/Romantic-Spark-12455.html">Fragrantica.</a> The only thing I don't like is that when they changed their packaging, they cut off like a quarter of the product in order to make it more 'travel friendly,' but I guess that's the point of marketing and making business.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is my Cadence Watch in Arielle. I have pretty small wrists, and I've always had that struggle of finding a watch that fits me where I don't have to go to the very last hole, or even make my own holes because I love the design so much. This is the first watch that isn't kids where I can actually wear it on the third hole. The design is personally very beautiful, elegant, chic and can dress up a casual outfit or go with a dressier outfit. I've had this for a year now, worn this often, and it's worn pretty well. Parts of the leather are curling around the edges and rubbing off a bit, and theres one scratch on the face (probably due to me dropping it because I'm such a klutz) and I really like it, is there any more to say? I did get it for $35 including shipping, which in my opinion is an amazing price for a leather watch. Right now they're selling them for $10 with $15 shipping to Australia, but it will depend on where you live. I think that's a great bargain, and now they have a black version of this watch with a black face and I'm tempted to get it! They also have one in a coral colour with a gold face. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for music, I've been loving two albums this month. The first is Amy and Ellen's EP Carousel. Amy and Ellen are two teenage girls from Canberra, Australia who started off as YouTubers, singing covers. I found them through Bubz, or Bubzbeauty on YouTube, and they honestly have such amazing voices and deserve every single amount of support. They deserve to make it big with their spectacular voices and beautiful faces, and I'd love it so much if you guys would check them out, maybe give their music a listen and fall in love like I did. Water Colours is my fave, and was my alarm for half the month, and actually did wake me up. I prefer it over having loud poppy music blasting in my ears when I'm unprepared as it makes me the tad more grumpy personally. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, check out their EP <a href="http://xamyandellenx.tictail.com/">here,</a> their YouTube channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/xAmyandEllenx">here,</a> their twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/xAmyandEllenx">here,</a> and their individual Twitters; <a href="https://twitter.com/xAmyShix">Amy</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/xEllenShix">Ellen.</a></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The other one would have to be Taylor Swift's new album 1989. Okay, it's been out for like five days, and yet I still love it to pieces. I loved Country Taylor Swift, but I still love Pop Taylor Swift. She's still the classy cat lady that we know and love inside though. My favourites are Style, Blank Space, Clean, I Wish You Would and Bad Blood; or just the whole album. Yes, the whole album. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TV shows...where do I start? Okay, so Arrow started their third season, Flash started their first season and The Walking Dead started their fifth season. I promise no spoilers, but things are stirring up in Arrow, and I'm so excited for certain character's arcs. Also, who doesn't love more Felicity? She is by far my favourite character EVER because she's nerdy, cute, awkward and I just love her and all her quirks. She's like me, plus the cute and smoaking hot...see what I did there? Heh heh.... ._.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Flash is starting, and I can tell it's going to be a great show. It has a lot of potential, and i"m loving it. Besides, Grant Gustin is freaking gorgeous, and I love how they cross over Flash and Arrow a bit here and there this season. I loved this weeks episode with Felicity in Central City, not going to say anything, but I still and will always ship Barlicity more than Olicity, I'm sorry (not sorry).</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for the Walking Dead, shits about to go down. Not saying anything, but damn it is just as intense as it always is. I freaking love it, and every time I watch it I can't help but thinking how freaking badass Daryl is, how much I love Glenn and how realistic the walkers' makeup is. Damn, hats off to the makeup artists, they look so freaking real that they scare me sometimes. Sometimes I can't help but thinking how Rick actually looks really clean for someone who hasn't had a shower for like a season and a half or something, but that's the least of their priorities anyway. And how Maggie and the other girls deal with their 'problems,' but that's just me, because they're totally irrelevant because it's fictional. Ugh, I'm weird anyway....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07208876197677481177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6503819056628518336.post-77965321373473066822014-10-25T20:15:00.001+11:002014-10-25T20:15:14.063+11:00MY RECENT BARGAIN FINDS<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know this post won't be very long, but I thought I'd share my recent bargain finds. Some of you will know that in Australia, makeup isn't cheap. Half of the makeup from America, Asia or UK will either come late at one and a half, or double the price, or not come at all. It's annoying, really. A revlon lipstick's RRP is like $21.95, which is why I usually (if not always) shop sales and wait for 40% and 50% off sales to buy my products. I've recently found some amazing bargain finds, and I want to share them with you all (:</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first one would be the Ulta3 lipsticks. When I was younger and first getting into nail polish, my first polishes I bought were Ulta3, because they're cheap, and as a 10 year old, $8 Sally Hansen nail polishes weren't cheap. I didn't think much of them, as they get chunky after a while, and not all the colours are opaque in two coats, so I kind of judged the brand by them. After seeing a huge display at a nearby chemist, I decided to grab some lipsticks because they're $2.95 for normal ones and $3.95 for matte ones. I was honestly surprised with them. They're really creamy, long lasting and have a great range of shades. The matte one is very matte, and look really great. They wear well, and aren't drying like other matte lipsticks (or maybe that's just because I loaded up the lip balm before). They go on really smoothly and I love them. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another would be celebrity fragrances. I smelt the Marc Jacobs fragrances, and immediately fell in love. I saw the price tag and thought, woah, that's way too steep. I started to save up for the triple digit price tag, when a friend smelt really good and I asked what she was wearing. When she said that it was Beyonce's Heat Rush, I was surprised. I had a low opinion of celebrity fragrances, because I used to think that they were cheaply made and seen as forms of merchandise. I started to look around, and soon I found some really nice fragrances on sale. The best part about them, is because they are celebrity fragrances, and there are so many, their prices get pretty cheap after a while. I always check Chemist Warehouse, and I've found Katy Perry's Killer Queen 100ml EDP for $25, the Beyonce Heat Rush 100ml EDT for $20, the Lady Gaga Fame 100ml EDP for $30 and the Britney Spears Fantasy 100ml EDP for $20. I used to judge their fragrances on how I viewed the celebrity, but I realised that I don't have to like the celebrity to like their fragrance, do I?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Always look online. Generally if you try and buy american cosmetics at places like beautyjoint and iHerb, the shipping is like $10 so it's not very useful for people who are looking to buy one or two products like me. If you're looking to buy like Real Techniques brushes, or buy many multiple items, than those would be useful to you. Also, look at reviews a lot. The MeNow Generation II Long Lasting Lipglosses are really great. They're about $1 each, and they're just like a liquid lipstick that dries matte. The smell may be chemically, and the size isn't as big as other liquid lipsticks, but I mean at $1? I have to admit, I did buy four thinking they'd be good shades but were all either too orange or too pink for me, but I'll probably just pass them off to a friend. Most other people wouldn't have a problem with that like I do, but they're an absolute steal, even if the month of waiting is forever. You can get them on ebay or buyincoins. Also, look for places that offer free shipping. It's one of the reasons why I love beautynetkorea, they offer asian cosmetics and skincare at really affordable prices with their own form of rewards and discounts. They also offer free shipping, and the service is great with giving free samples; same with Jolse. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My last one would be essence nail polishes. Their bottles may not look as sleek as Essie, or have the same range of colours, but if you do your research and find the right ones, they're amazing. Selected polishes are opaque in two coats, dry fast and have the best brush I've ever seen in my opinion. They're a thick, fat brush and put your nail polish on perfectly in one stroke. I also like how they have this nice clicking feeling when you close them, to know for sure that they're closed tight enough. The colours that I love are english rose, that's what I mint and let's get lost. Not to forget, they're $2.75? You could probably buy the whole range for the price of two essie polishes. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's all I have for now, but if I find any more I'll definitely make another post.</span></div>

(I'll also be posting one for Autumn soon for all the Northern Hemisphere people, I'm so jealous, Autumn is my favourite month!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">AN: My lamp's broken, and my photos generally aren't the best, so I'm just taking pictures from Google. None of these pictures are mine, and credit to anyone if they are yours (:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>Makeup</u></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not one for wearing a lot of makeup in Spring, but I do love to change out my lip colours. I love lip tints because they stay on your lips and don't have that transfer when you want to drink water, causing that annoying lipstick build up around the bottle which you have to constantly wipe off. My favourites right now are the Etude House Kissful Tint Choux in #1 Red Chou and #4 Tangerine Chou. The red one provides a raspberry red tint to the lips which can be built up, and the tangerine one provides a pink-peach tint which turns into a pink on my lips after it stains. They're a moisturising, glossy tint, and once the gloss wears off leaves a nice stain which lasts roughly 6 hours with eating and drinking. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got mine at beautynetkorea, and you can get it there <a href="http://beautynetkorea.com/product/Etude-house---Kissfull-tint-sue/KRETUDAA0000111/?main_cate_no=AD000000&display_group=1">here.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In terms of body lotion, I really love my Vaseline Aloe Body Lotion because it smells great, is pretty moisturising and feels refreshing. The problem is with summer, it leaves that residue that I don't like having when it's hot, because it leaves my skin feeling sticky. That's where the Vaseline Spray and Go Aloe Body Lotion has found a place in my heart. It sprays the perfect amount so that it moisturises like it should, but doesn't leave that stickiness. Yes, it's not as good value as the pump one, but this one is so much more time efficient and it's just great. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't come in the SPF version like the squeeze one does, so I have to layer sunscreen on top of that which is pretty sticky, kind of defeating the purpose...but that's it's problem.</span></div>

I don't know why, but it just does. I also feel hot really easily, and that's why I love this. This is the Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel. It's moisturising, not sticky and very cooling and soothing not to mention that it smells amazing (I also just love the smell of aloe and green tea in general though...).

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For moisturisers, everyone needs a good, moisturiser with SPF for Spring and Summer, and all year round in general. This is the Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturiser with SPF 15+. I used to use the Dermalogica Fresh Start one, until I realised how expensive it was (despite how amazing it was) and thought that maybe I could find a cheaper one. After seeing Ingrid (Missglamorazzi on YouTube) rave about it so much and use it in all her videos featuring a moisturiser for the past couple of months, I thought, why not give it a shot. I found it to be amazing. It's moisturising, at least enough for my dry skin, isn't sticky and I like the hygienic pump. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for fragrances, I've been loving my Elizabeth Arden Green Tea and Honeysuckle 100ml EDT. It's a fresh, sweet floraly-citrus scent to me, and I love it. I can smell the green tea, but also the floral. It doesn't have a very strong honeysuckle note to it, but I still like it. I love fresh floral scents for spring, and this is one of my favourites. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>Accessories</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm loving bows, in fact, I always love bows. They always add a bit of girliness and cuteness to a hairstyle. Since in Autumn and Winter I usually wear my hair down, I can't really use these. Since it's Spring and nearing Summer and the weather is obviously much hotter, I will usually throw my hair up in a high ponytail or bun, and these are the perfect and my favourite accessories. The first one is the dotted bow hair clamp from Iswas in the dark blue one. It's quite small and cute, and my favourite for buns, but still looks cute in ponytails. The other ones are the bow-accent polka dot hair ties from 59 Seconds. They come in a pack of 5, and are really cheap. Since they're so cheap, the quality isn't great so you have to be careful with the bow part as part of one of my bows ripped because I wasn't careful, but the elastic itself is quite durable. It can go around my hair two to three times and stays pretty well, but i put another hair tie underneath for extra reassurance. I also really like the huge bow hair ties you can get at daiso when I want something bigger and less subtle for my buns. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got them both at Yesstyle. The Iswas one isn't available anymore, the other ones you can get <a href="http://www.yesstyle.com.au/en/info.html/pid.1035730858">here.</a></span><br />

Whoo! .-.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. What are you wearing?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A grey hoodie that I sleep in, leggings and a grey tank top; lazy clothes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Ever been in love?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Does pizza, food and my bed count? If not, then no.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Ever had a terrible breakup?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nope.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. How tall are you?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Around 5ft, I think.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. How much do you weigh?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Around 115 pounds/52kg at a guess? Haven't weighed myself in a while 'cause my scale's broken xD</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. Any tattoos?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nope.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7. Any piercings?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No, not even earrings 'cause I'm super scared of needles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8. OTP?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ugh, too many. I really ship Zalfie, Janya, Phan and Troyler from YouTube, I ship Kirisuna and Tatsumine a lot from Anime, a lot from various books and yeah.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">9. Favourite show?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I watch a lot of Anime, and I love Shingeki No Kyojin, Akame Ga Kill, Sword Art Online and Kill La Kill. For TV shows, I watch are Arrow, The Walking Dead and The Flash, even though it's new. I also watch Big Bang Theory, but it's so bad now that I cringe - Season 5/6 was their last good one IMO.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10. Favourite bands/singers?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I altered this question because I don't listen to many bands. I usually like a couple songs from different bands, but there's not many that I listen to a lot. I admire Paramore, because Hayley Williams is like so amazing. As for singers, or music, I love Hillsong, Troye Sivan, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande is pretty cool I guess. I listen to K-pop too, and I love BIGBANG, SNSD (despite the news about Jessica getting kicked out ): she was my favourite but I'll still love them), IU and 2NE1.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">11. Something/Someone you miss?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My Grandpa.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">12. Favourite song?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How does one just choose a favourite? Recently I've been loving Thinking Out Loud, One and Photograph by Ed Sheeran and the OP's and ED's of Sword Art Online 1 & 2. Also Darling by Girl's Day, it's been my party jam for the past two months.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">13. How old are you?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">YOU WILL NEVER KNOW >_<</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">14. Zodiac sign?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Capricorn? I don't care for horoscopes though.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">15. Quality you look for in a partner?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Intelligent, funny, not too sweet, and not controlling. Like those cute bantery couples that tease each other but are so cute that you always read in books and see in movies.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">16. Favourite Quote?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'Those who mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind - Dr Seuss'. I also like, 'The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination - Albert Einstein'. You also can't forget the one interview with Jennifer Lawrence: 'You know there is that quote that Kate Moss quoted that's like nothing tastes as good as skinny feels, and I'm like I can name a LOT of things that taste better than skinny feels. Potatoes! Bread!'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">17. Favourite actor?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jennifer Lawrence, without a doubt. She's so freaking hilarious - 100% my girl crush.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">18. Favourite colour?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Black or grey, but since lots of people are against them as being colours and pulls out that 'It's a shade' stuff with me, I'd say navy blue or dark red, in terms of colours I wear. I also like mint though, as a colour.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">19. Loud music or soft?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As in volume or type of music? If it's volume then soft, but if it's type of music I'm kind of everywhere with that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">20. Where do you go when you're sad?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My cupboard, my fridge, my bed. I eat my feelings, I eat for boredom and I eat when I'm hungry, which is all the time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">21. How long does it take you to shower?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ten minutes?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">22. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you're talking about actual getting ready, then 10-20 minutes. If you mean from the moment I wake up, then probably an hour if I have time to spare, because I just lie in bed for a while.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">23. Ever been in a physical fight?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">24. Turn on?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Guys who don't think that all girls are pleased by diamonds, three course meals and fancy shit like that when all I need is a cheap pizza and a good movie. I also like it when guys are kind of geeky, funny (typical) and smart? The list could probably go on, but that's all I can think of at the moment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">25. Turn off?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arrogance, when they try to impress people too much, when they're egotistical, if they've hurt or badmouthed any of my friends and the list kind of goes on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">26. The reason I joined Blogger?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I like the stuff that YouTubers do, but too much work to make YouTube videos and editing...and I'm lazy...so blogging it is! xD</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">27. Fears?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Needles, rollercoasters (I get easy motion sickness) and </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">28. Last thing that made you cry?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The ending of Angel Beats.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">29. Last time you said you loved someone?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To my mum (:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">30. Meaning behind your Blogger Name?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well although it sounds super tumblr and like a positive quotes blog, I kind of wanted to include the 'little things' portion despite it sounding really hipster and cliche. Sometimes we overlook the little things like a good night rest, a roof over our heads when it's raining hard, a warm shower, eating your favourite home cooked meal, having a wardrobe of clothes etc. It's kind of to capture that and all the other things I guess? I can explain things I promise.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">31. Last book you read?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">32. The book you're currently reading?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">33. Last show you watched?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Angel Beats.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">34. Last person you talked to?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My brother.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">35. The relationship between you and the person you last texted?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of my best friends.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">36. Favourite food?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can't just ask me that. Some of my favourite foods though are margherita pizza, chicken nuggets, curry laksa, soy garlic chicken, strawberries, mangoes, basil pesto with chicken/pan fried salmon with creamy sauce pasta, lychees, ice-cream, raspberries, gnocchi, home made noodles, muffins (muffins > cupcakes), rice, fish, chips, the list goes on though.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">37. Place you want to visit?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tokyo, Japan because all the anime stuff and the food and the shopping and the ugh everything. Also Seoul, South Korea or Hong Kong. California, New York and London would be pretty cool too, but Tokyo first.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">38. Last place you were?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My bed? Or if you meant as in Holiday then Phuket, Thailand last year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">39. Do you have a crush?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unless Jennifer Lawrence as girl crush counts, or Dylan O'brien then no. I also don't like it when friends ask if you have a crush and when you say no because you genuinely don't, they just assume that you're lying -.-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">40. Last time you kissed someone?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My mum on the cheek.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">41. Last time you were insulted?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't remember, but probably recently.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">42. Favourite flavour of sweet?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love the grape gummies you get in asian grocers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">43. What instruments do you play?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">None, sadly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">44. Favourite piece of jewellery?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't really wear jewellery, can't be stuffed sometimes. Rings are super annoying when you want to wash your hands though. I wear my watch a lot and sometimes a little black faux leather wrist thing that counts as a bracelet?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">45. Last sport you played?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ha I suck at sport, but badminton I enjoy, and was also the one I played last.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">46. Last song you sang?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">47. Favourite chat up line?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Miso crazy pho you (;</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">48. Have you ever used it?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In real life, nope. I did in one of my stories though.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't wear a lot of makeup, mainly because I'm too lazy to put it on most days! But in the odd occasion that I have, I've been loving my Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner. It has a really fine tip which I love, meaning I can either have a very thin, hardly noticeable eyeliner or a thicker, more noticeable eyeliner. I prefer to have a thin line so that it's not really noticeable, but if you look closely you can see a difference. It's also really easy to control, especially for my wobbly hands. It's also really black, which I love. I'm not so sure about the 100% waterproof claim, but it's waterproof on me to an extent. Other than that, I love it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For mascara, I've been loving my Maybelline Illegal Length Fibre Extensions Mascara. I don't really care about volume for my lashes, unlike lots of others, but care more about length. When I've curled my lashes, brushed through them while turning the wand with this, then wiggling it side to side, it transfers the fibres on to my lashes and I like it! Sometimes you have to wiggle it around until you get even looking fibres on the lashes, but other than that I love it! It also removes really easily at the end of the day, the brush separates well and give minimal smudging throughout the day. Speaking of the brush, since I have quite short lashes, [._.] small eyes and wobbly hands, I like that the brush is pretty small and slim. Some of the other mascara brushes like Rimmel and other Maybelline ones have HUGE brushes, bigger than my actual eyes, and are a pain for me to apply because I either poke myself in the eye or I get afraid of poking myself in the eye and get barely any of the mascara on my lashes. The packaging isn't as flashy as the other mascaras, but to me, this one's gold.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For nail polish, this has been my favourite. Although it is Spring, and Winter's over, I'm still one to wear darker colours, because I'm not that into wearing bright neons and happy colours. I prefer my dark reds, navy blues, blacks and greys, which is probably why Autumn is my favourite season of the year. Nevertheless, this is Rimmel's 60 Seconds Nail Polish in Aye Aye Sailor. It looks really blue in the picture I chose, but in real life it looks like a dark blue black. I like it because every time I wear it, people always ask me, 'Is that black nail polish?' to which I always put it against the closest black thing and prove to them that it's blue. It looks black to the eye, but against black it's blue, nice eh? Also, the formula is great. It's two coats for an opaque look and I love the Rimmel 60 Seconds formula in general because it dries in 60 seconds, literally. I timed it once and it was dry. Not exactly fully dry, but dry enough where it won't get smudged that easily and you can paint another coat without it streaking.</span><br />

I've recently been using my The Face Shop Green Tea Hand Gel Cream a lot recently. First of all, I love everything green tea - green tea bubble tea, my green tea face wash (a bit later on), green tea ice-cream, my green tea body sprays, but I don't like actual green tea, weird huh? The scent is really refreshing and I love how it absorbs really fast. Because it's a gel, it feels really lightweight and doesn't leave that residue on your hands. With this one, I can use my laptop or phone straight away and not have to worry about my hand cream getting on my screen or keyboard and leaving those annoying smudges T_T</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love this cleanser, this is the St Ives Blemish Control Green Tea Scrub. I was originally going to get their raved about Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub, but I read some reviews that the beads in the scrub are too harsh and cause long-term damage to the skin. I didn't want to risk it, so I chose this one, mainly because it said green tea. I have dry-normal skin with a couple small breakouts mainly around my forehead and my chin area. This face wash doesn't dry out my skin, smells great (again with the green tea trend here) and the beads feel like they're doing something, but not too much. I use this once every two days, and I swear it's cleaning my skin well. The other day when I used a pore strip, I was disappointed to find that it came up completely clean, until I realised that means my skin's clean right? Or maybe it's cause I just don't tend to get that many blackheads... >_< waste of a pore strip right? That aside, I love this face wash.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wasn't sure where this one fits in, since I use it mainly as a lip balm, but I figured it belongs in the skincare category. Lucas' Pawpaw Ointment is literally my life saver. I use it as a lip balm all the time because it's creamy and moisturising, but not too oily like some other lip balms. The best part is that it so so multipurpose. I'm clumsy, and when I cook I tend to burn myself sometimes from oil popping everywhere, but I have this. I also get horrible horrible mosquito bites in the spring and summer, and sometimes they swell up to half the size of my fist, and I get a lot of them at a time. I usually use tiger balm, but it's annoying because the smell annoys the people around me since it's so pungent, but I have to find a way to wash my hands after I use it, because I don't want to itch my face or nose and get tiger balm on my face. But this is also a great remedy for them. Sometimes in winter if I have really flaky skin, I even use a tiny bit of this on those really problematic areas. Yes, you can get those mosquito and burn creams targeted for that purpose that work better than this, but it's much easier to bring one product than 4 tubes of different things. A LIFE SAVER I TELL YOU.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For fragrance, I've been loving my The Body Shop Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Mist. As it is a body mist, it doesn't last very long on the skin, nor does it have great sillage, but the scent is just heavenly. It's a light, fresh, sweet floral scent, with a hint of fresh crisp apples somewhere in there. I love it because it reminds me of cherry blossoms, and they're one of my favourite flowers. It's very soft, delicate, light and refreshing scent, and a perfect Spring fragrance. </span><br />

I got a huge bag at Costco, and I've just been eating them whenever I'm hungry. I've also recently been eating Orignal Peckish with homemade Avocado-cream cheese dip. I might be addicted, oops 0.o</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In terms of entertainment, I recently binge watched Sword Art Online, and anime. Most people told me that it goes really downhill in the middle, but I was too busy shipping Kirisuna for it to bother me too much. Who else wishes MMORPG's exist in real life? (Like who wouldn't want to use an Amusphere?) I've also been addicted to listening to the first intro (Crossing Field by LiSA), the second opening (Innocence by Eir Aoi), the second ending (Overfly by Haruna Luna), the first opening of SAO2 (Ignite by Eir Aoi) and the first ending (Startear by Haruna Luna). After I post this I'm off the watch the newest episode of Sword Art Online 2 *scurries away*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I watch all my anime <a href="http://kissanime.com/">here.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for books, I absolutely <i>fell </i>in love with Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan. Being asian myself, I found it quite a hilarious book to see the perspective of, well, rich asians. It's about a girl called Rachel Chu who is dating billionaire Nicholas Young, when she gets persuaded to go visit his family in Singapore, with her having no idea how rich he really is. It's a whirlwind of laughs, drama and pure disgust at some characters (Eleanor's materialistic outlook really pisses me off) and I absolutely love it. Can't wait to see the movie adaptation and the sequel, China Rich Girlfriend next year (although movie adaptations are never better than the book)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I borrowed it from my local library, but you can buy it from bookworld <a href="http://www.bookworld.com.au/books/crazy-rich-asians-kevin-kwan/p/9781743317280">here</a> and from booktopia <a href="http://www.booktopia.com.au/crazy-rich-asians-kevin-kwan/prod9781743317280.html">here.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for music, I've been IN LOVE with Ed Sheeran's newest album X. Despite it being released in June (I've actually been listening to it since then) I just found myself listening to it a whole lot more this month. My favourites are One, Photograph and Thinking Out Loud. Besides, Ed's voice is absolutely FLAWLESS yes?</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">www.youtube.com; duh. YouTube is where I spend the majority of my time when I have a good access to internet. I'd list my favourite channels but that's a lot, so some of the ones I love watching is Lindy or Bubz (bubzbeauty/bubzvlogz) as I'm obsessed with her videos. I always look forward to them when they show up in my subscription box and they make me so happy! Her dogs are super cute and so is their newest addition to their family, Isaac! I also love Zoe (zoella280390) who's videos never fail to make me smile, Gabby (velvetgh0st), Louise (sprinkleofglitter) and many more. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">www.twitter.com is where I get all that gossip...jks. Due to timezones I usually miss out on quite a bit, but it's nice to go on there every once in a while and hopefully align with everyone else's timezones....</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">www.reddit.com is where I like to see whats happening and look at the food porn tag to see if I can find any good recipes.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">www.kissmanga.com and www.kissanime.com is where I get my little anime and manga fix on when I'm in the mood. I'm currently watching Akame Ga Kill! and patiently (or not so patiently) waiting for the next chapter of the manga and next episode to come out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now for shopping websites...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">www.yesstyle.com.au is definitely one of my faves. I love asian fashion, and I love the wide variety of items you can buy. The quality can vary, so make sure to check measurements properly and reviews. Sometimes you can get some absolute steals (I have this one long cardigan that I wear so often which I got for $12 at 80% off!) which I can't complain about. Also, free shipping with every purchase over $25? Some extra clothes couldn't hurt...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ASOS is also a good one. I notice that they used to have free shipping, but now it only seems to be with any purchase over $30 I think? They seem to have the more high end scale of things at cheaper prices, and it's great if you're more petite or curvier as they have a great selection of clothes in the petite range and curvy range. Some items are out of my price range, but occasionally you come across some items that are great value.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">www.riptapparel.com, www.shirtpunch.com and www.othertees.com all have similar concepts, limited edition graphic tees at reasonable prices + shipping. Some of the designs are really cute and I love graphic tees so...why not?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">www.sheinside.com, www.choies.com, www.romwe.com and www.oasap.com all seem to be pretty similar to me. Cheap, reasonable prices on both clothes and shipping, decent quality (depending on the item) and yeah. I've seen some items that are the same on the websites at different prices, so make sure to check them all out. I've only actually shopped at sheinside before, but they all seem pretty similar to me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">www.beautynetkorea.com and www.jolse.com both sell korean beauty products at cheap prices with free worldwide shipping. I've shopped with beautynetkorea before and they had easy checkout, nice discounts, good prices and fast and safe shipping. They also give heaps of samples with every purchase which I definitely don't mind! I assume jolse is similar, and I'm looking to put and order through with them soon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every now and again I'll go on www.shopfree.com.au to see if there's any nice samples or competitions to try out. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's pretty much it for me! What are your favourite websites, let me know below!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm Jess, I'm Australian...blogger, now I guess.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you're wondering what my blog is about, I guess it'll be a bit of beauty, food, lifestyle and everything really. I might share a recipe of something I've just baked, some beauty products I'm loving at the moment, my holy grail skincare products, maybe some products I haven't really liked, what I'm listening to at the moment, my favourite websites, food I've eaten, places I've been etc. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My photos may not be the best, but maybe you can bear with me for a bit :P</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also love reviewing things, so it might be a beauty product, a skincare product, a restaurant, a book, a movie or anything I'm feeling the need to share (:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you'll like my blog, now for a bit about me...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. I'm Australian as mentioned above, but Chinese of heritage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. I do live in Australia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. I have a fascination with Japanese and Korean things, so yes I do like my korean music, a bit of anime and manga. I also love asian beauty products, skincare and the food...THE FOOD.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. I sometimes write, just for fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. I love baking, I sometimes use it as a way to get rid of stress or forget about things.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. I'm quite a stingy person, so I own nothing that is of high end brands in terms of makeup, skincare and clothes...yet. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7. I love my YouTube and Twitter when I'm in the mood.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8. I love food, I'm kind of almost always thinking about it... ._.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">9. I'm quite a paranoid person, and I have a feeling it has something to do with the wild imagination of mine</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10. My favourite colours to wear are grey (light grey, charcoal grey, lots of grey) and black. If you personally think that they shouldn't count as colours and are shades, then I like wine red/maroons and navy blues.</span><br />
