Birthday and wedding packages from Christina!!
A quick post for you today to share 2 WONDERFUL packages I received from my lovely friend Christina a few weeks back!! she definitely made my week =) She spoiled me absolutely rotten yet again (the naughty thing!!) for my birthday and also gave me a wedding gift!! So much goodness where on earth to start xD
1st off is my adorable wedding present!! A Hello Kitty toiletry bag!! Seriously how freaking adorable is it???! My current toiletry bag is a GWP bag from Clinique and is on its last legs so this gift comes at the perfect time!
So much Erre Due goodness! Erre Due polishes are excellent quality and the special effect ones are especially awesome!! Not to mention the holo base coat too.
So many gorgeous polishes including Catrice Dirty Berry (SQUEAL!!), my 1st BB Couture and ESTESSiMO TINS!!
Eeeeeek thank you for my Nfu Oh lemmings Christina!!! Gosh I love the brand so much xD I've been dying to try their Jelly Syrup polishes for ages now and also their Aqua Base Coat.
Some UK polishes from her travels! How cute are the Top Shop polishes!! Also my 1st Sleek polish and a silver holo from 17. Christina knows just how much I love holos!!
Tommy G holo, glitter and special base coat! I'm very curious about the special base coat =D
NYX glitters which are my 1st NYX polishes actually!
Hello Kitty eyeshadow palette and polish! I sound like a broken record but they're so cute!! How could anyone say no to a Hello Kitty shaped polish bottle??
Some awesome NYX makeup products! I love their eyeshadows and jumbo eye pencils. I really wish NYX was sold in-store here - it's such a great brand at such good pricing.
Christina also sent me a beautiful Dior Holiday lip palette!! ♥ I love the shades but it's way too pretty to actually use lol.
Christina also sent me some of her beautiful handmade creations which you can purchase from her Etsy, Zibbet and Storenvy stores!!
I LOVE Christina's customised iphone cases and she kindly sent me a new Hello Kitty one!! You can purchase them from her online stores too. Her iphone cases and deco items are how we connected in the first place!
And lastly lots of skincare samples from Korres and Apvita!! Plus a gorgeous makeup bag too! I forgot to include the Korres makeup pack she sent me in this photo too.
Thank you dear Christina for the lovely packages!! ♥ You spoil me way too much!!
I hope you're all having a great start to the week! Thanks for looking as always =)

Review: KKCenterhk false eyelashes
I was offered the opportunity to review false eyelashes by Maggie from online store KKcenterHK recently. KKcenterHK is an online store based in Hong Kong that sells makeup, wigs, nail items, false eyelashes and other assorted items. Maggie kindly allowed me to choose which false eyelashes I wanted so I chose ES A26 after much deliberation and here is my experience with them. I've mentioned this before but I must warn you that I’m a noob when it comes to applying falsies but I’m slowly getting more practise so please excuse the beginner application!
The lashes arrived in about 10 working days and were packed in a padded envelope. You get 10 pairs of lashes per box which is great!
ES A26 are black natural criss cross lashes and are priced at $2.80US per box which equates to only $0.28US per pair! What a steal. After seeing them in real life, they are a little more dramatic than what I was hoping for but these would be fantastic for a night out. They are very long and luxurious looking!
Below is a pic of my naked eye - ie. lashes not curled, no eyeshadow, no mascara and no eyeliner. Clearly I was not blessed with long, luscious eyelashes but at least I have some haha. They look super light in this pic but in real life my eyelashes are quite black.
Here's my eye lined with heroine make smooth liquid eyeliner in black, NYX eyeshadow, lashes curled and a coat of MAC Dazzlelash:
The lashes were too long so I trimmed the ends and then applied them using Duo Eyelash adhesive in clear-white. Below are pics with them applied. I didn't realise until after I took them off that I hadn't blended my natural and false eyelashes together very well so please excuse that. I really should leave makeup application to the experts and just do nails xD
Whoa just look at the HUGE difference! I love the look of these on me and they really opened my eyes up giving me a dolly look. I will definitely be rocking these on a Friday night out! The band on these are a little stiff compared to others I have but they still felt very comfortable on. They are also not the most natural looking lashes but for lashes this length it's pretty obvious they aren't natural lashes. Plus for the price they retail for one can't complain at all!!
You can really see my natural lashes in this pic. FAIL xp
Will I repurchase: As I only wear falsies when I go out, this box will last me for a while so I probably won't need to repurchase this particular style. I will however definitely consider purchasing other styles! I'm looking for some natural looking falsies that are budget friendly and KKCenterhk is definitely the place to go. You can purchase your own eyelashes from their site here.
A big thank you to Maggie from KKCenterhk for providing me with this product! I was sent the above product to sample but this in no way influenced my review in any way. As always, my reviews are my 100% honest opinion.
Do you enjoy wearing false eyelashes? What brand/type are your favourite?
Thanks for looking!

Nonpareil haul and lipstick swatches
I ordered some stuff from Nonpareil a few weeks ago to take advantage of their 20% discount for Memorial Day. I know that I'm on a shopping ban an all but I couldn't resist - I saved myself money! =p I finally received my package today and it was worth the wait.
My haul consisted of mainly NYX products because I think the products are awesome but of course us Aussies don't get it here. It took a while to reach me - nearly 3 weeks which is what they tell you to expect - but other packages I've ordered from the States have only taken about 5days to get here. Nonetheless they reached me in the end and I was very please to find that the items were really really well packaged as you can see in the pic below. It was layer upon layer of bubble wrap!!
Here's what I hauled!
NYX Individual false lashes #137 and NYX Liquid eyeliner in black:
NYX 5 Colour shadow in I Dream of Jamaica. I plan on depotting these into my MAC palette some time hopefully.
NYX blushes in Mosaic Powder blush in Dare; Rouge Cream blush in Rose Petal and Powder blush in Peach:
NYX lipsticks in Summer Love; Snow White; Thalia and Wet n Wild lipstick in Retro Pink:
I decided to swatch these and I can't wait to wear them out! They applied quite smoothly and the texture is quite creamy. The scent is not too bad and at less than $2 you can't go wrong!
Summer Love - a pretty nude, great for everyday wear I think.
Thalia - a nice plummy colour with hints of brown.
Snow White - my 1st red lippie! I'm not sure if I can pull off such red lips though, maybe for a party with lashings of black eyeliner. It definitely needs to be applied with a lip brush for a perfect Snow White pout! Sorry for the very messy swatch =p
Retro Pink - a great hot pink lippie. I saw this shade on Krissy's blog and I just had to have it!

Nyx Blushes
Since I'm naturally quite pale (I'm a NC20), blush is a must have product for me otherwise I look sickly (until the afternoon when I get naturally rosy cheeks). I have quite a few blushes and one of my faves is Nyx powder blushes. It's cheap and works wonderfully but unfortunately it isn't readily available in stores in Aus =( Some of the dollar ships do stock the round lipsticks but not many.
I picked up 2 of the powder blushes last week in Terracotta and Angel from Paddy's Market. Both blushes are very pigmented and last reasonably long for me. I actually reach for these more often than my Smashbox or Clinique blushes or my 28 blush palette.
Terracotta is a bronzey colour which could be used a bronzer too. It gives my cheeks a lovely sun kissed glow which I love. Meanwhile Angel is a light pink shade which gives my cheeks a very natural pink glow perfect for any occasion. I already own 2 other powder blushes in Sand (bronzey shade) and Natural (light pink shade) so I'm starting a collection now!
The stall I purchase them from also stock a limited range of the Nyx Jumbo eye pencils and some LA colour products which I refrained from purchasing! Any Sydneysiders know of anywhere else you can purchase Nyx products besides online?
What's YOUR favourite blush?
