My Hong Kong November 2013 haul!
Happy Friday ladies!! I've been back at work for only 5 days and I feel like I need another holiday already haha! I've definitely got the post holiday blues but at least it's Christmas soon so there's public holidays (and presents!) to enjoy =D Today I have my haul from my latest trip to Hong Kong for you!!! I didn't actually buy much in comparison to my other trips which is a good thing for my wallet haha xp The exchange rate wasn't so great and I'm saving for a few things so I used a LOT of restraint! I did more eating to make up for it lol.
As soon as I saw the Deborah Lippmann Space Oddity set on her Instagram I knew I had to have it!!! They aren't your typical holiday shades but they look absolutely gorgeous by themselves and together too. I also picked up the Stronger which is the collaboration shade with Kelly Clarkson - it's been on my wishlist for months and I finally picked it up squeeeeeeeeee! I love Kelly Clarkson!
I let myself get talked into buying the OPI Mariah Carey Pure 18K White Gold & Silver Top Coat xp I missed out on The Man With the Golden Gun last year so couldn't miss out this year!
I hauled a few things from Etude House for myself and for pressies! I love their stuff because it's just so sweet - pink everything! I got some polishes and a foot mask for myself and scored the little tin as a freebie.
My niece had her birthday party while I was in HK and my sis in-law asked me to do a little nail bar for the girls. Of course I said yes and it was so much fun! I didn't bring any of my tools so I bought the Lucky Trendy Dot Artist set to use but didn't end up needing to use it so I'm keeping it for myself haha. The purple is really pretty! I came across a Korean brand called Ally's Ajell and they had dual nail art pens so I picked up one in white to try out. I also bought 2 gorgeous glitters from Tony Moly!
I adore Anna Sui and I couldn't resist this limited edition Nail Care Oil!!! Isn't it just gorgeous? You shake it up and then apply and works wonderfully.
I stocked up on my favourite Zoya Remove and also picked up my first Pixie Dust in Stevie. I wish I had got a few other shades too because I am loving Pixie Dust! They wear so well and the shades are so pretty.
I picked up one of the new Canmake creme blushes in 04 and also restocked my HG Dolly Wink mascara which came with a bonus eyeliner woot!
Bioderma is my HG makeup remover and so I had to pick up this new bottle with pump dispenser. You should have seen how excited I was then I saw it haha!
Some lovely gifts from Jen who blogs over at Life and Lens of Beauty! I met up with her as usual and did some shopping =D Thank you Jen and I can't wait to go shopping with you next year!! (Thanks for letting me use your Joyce Beauty member discount btw!!)
I picked up the new Roses de Chloe on an impulse but I haven't opened it yet because I'm not sure I'm going to keep it! I love the smell of it but I have so many perfumes already I'm not sure I really need another one.. I might end up gifting it to my sis but we'll see.
Some Forever 21 accessories! I love their accessories and always try to pick up a few each trip. Their accessories department takes up like an entire floor and it is always SO DAMN HARD deciding what to buy when on a budget!
My biggest splurge on my trip was a new 11" MacBook Air!! My beloved Air died a few months ago so I took advantage of duty free and bought a replacement. The 11" is the perfect size I think!
I hope you enjoyed seeing my Hong Kong haul! Thanks for looking as always and don't forget to enter my Face of Australia Carnivale giveaway!

June package love!
Last month I received some wonderful packages from 2 of my beautiful friends! First is a very sneaky package from lovely Aysh!! In one of our many twitter conversations about food I mentioned that I adore British sweets and she sent me my absolute favourites - sherbet lemons and flying saucers!!! I literally snapped the pic below and then demolished them LOL. She also included the AH-MAZING Models Own Pink Fizz glitter. You can peep her post about it here! I'm itching to try it out but I'm not in the mood for glitter removal lately haha.
Next I received not 1 but 2 amazing packages from my dear Christina!! Seriously how much does she spoil me rotten??
Awesome polishes from Tony Moly, H & M, Erre Due, Nails Inc., A-England!
She included 2 beautiful personalised pieces of her jewellery! A sparkly Cosmetic Cupcake necklace (!!!!!) and a gorgeous black rose ring with silver glitter that unfortunately I couldn't capture in my pic. She is amazingly talented and creates so many beautiful pieces - check out her Etsy store Cel's Deconails.
Her 2nd package made me nearly fall over in my excitement. HOLO, FLAKIE, GLITTER and DUOCHROME AWESOMENESS. Arghhhhhhhhhhhh! Thank you for killing so many lemmings!!
Makeup goodies!!
Thank you both so much for your generous and thoughtful packages ♥

Tony Moly GS09 Shooting Star glitter sandwich
A few days ago I received another AMAZING care package from my nail polish dealer amazing friend Christina containing a multitude of jaw dropping polishes and accessories! I'll share pics with you shortly ;) In it she included the beautiful Tony Moly GS jelly glitters for me and I was so excited I had to try one out that very night! I used GS09 Shooting Star for a quick NOTD.
GS09 Shooting Star contains multicoloured hex and small round glitters in a pastel purple jelly base. For my base I used 2 coats of China Glaze Light As Air and then 2 coats of GS09 Shooting Star followed by 1 coat of OPI Care to Danse?*.
Close up - it's winter here in Sydney so my hands are suffering. They look so wrinkly in this pic!
The glitter applies pretty easily on the nail but I did have to use the "splat" technique a few times to get nice coverage for the larger glitters. I love how this mani turned out and I've actually worn it for 4 days! Very unheard of for me. It wore really well too considering it's 6 layers of polish altogether (including topcoat) and I took these pics on day 3.
Bonus bottle shot!
Thank you SO MUCH for sending this beauty my way Christina!! *HUGS* Thanks for looking as always ladies! =)
