Cosmetic Cupcake

Hi ladies! How was your weekend? Here in Sydney we had a 3 day weekend to celebrate the Queen's birthday but unfortunately I spent most of it sick. I did manage to squeeze in a spot of shopping at World Square on the weekend though with my sis and D in the city! I thought I would share with you a few Winter finds I stumbled across!

We started off with breakfast at Palate cafe which I've wanted to try for ages. My sis gets lunch from Palate most days she's working and she RAVES about the green tea latte. My sis and D both got the Palate big breakfast while I had eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and a chai latte. Unfortunately my poached eggs were a little overdone but all in all it was delicious and very reasonably priced too!


My main shopping objective of the day was to get the Napoleon Perdis Blush Patrol but unfortunately they didn't have any in stock!! I've put my name down for one and fingers crossed they'll be in stock by the end of the week. The makeup artist tried it on me and it is SUPER pigmented and gave me a wonderful glow - perfect for Winter. It also lasted all day until I took my makeup off at 11pm which is fantastic!

Next stop was Priceline to check out the sales. Lanolips are currently having a buy 1 get 1 free sale (A STEAL!) so I picked up the Lemonaid lip aid for my sis and one for a friend too. I have about a million lipbalms but I love the smell of Lemonaid so it's a staple in my handbag.




This wasn't on sale but the Neutrogena Norwegian hand cream is my HG (holy grail) night hand cream in Winter. I lather this on before bed and pop on a pair of cotton gloves and my hands are smooth and soft by morning. A must have for me!


We then headed over to Superdry where they are having a massive sale! Tees and sweats were 2 for 40% off and other items almost 50% off. I love a good bargain x) D is a massive Superdry fan boy and he managed to pick up the Superdry Royal Henley Long Sleeve Top and Lite Patrol Jacket at 30% off woot! The boy was camera shy so stock pictures will have to suffice =p

You can never have enough jumpers for the cold season and as I always tend to wear black coats and dark parts I like to throw in a little colour with my tops. I eyed this cute orangey/red Orange Label Classic Vintage jumper but it didn't really sit right on me. It's reduced from $99.95 to $49.95 which is a bargain so maybe one of you lovely ladies will pick it up!


I had to check out Ninewest's MASSIVE 50% sale on all Winter bags and shoes! Flats are a staple in my wardrobe and there where plenty of pretty ones on sale along with some fabulous boots. I was contemplating the beaded flats below but the sizing is kinda weird on these so the fit wasn't perfect. Sorry for the dodgy posing haha.


I don't know about you guys but I find it really hard to drink water during Winter so a thermos for tea is essential for me when I'm at work. I use an old one from T2 but I think it's nearly time for an upgrade to one of these cute ones from Typo!


Last stop was Bag & Baggage where I spied this gorgeous tan Kailey bag from Tony Bianco. I love big bags and I love tan! Just wish I had seen this before I bought a new work bag in HK doh.


I also saw this evening bag which I thought was a little quirky - the skull rings are inbuilt to the clutch for all those skull lovers out there!


What did you get up to on the weekend? What Winter finds have you found so far?

Thanks for looking as always! =)
