wasting time and money

Ooh, I did a spot of shopping. It wasn't my fault really - I went to the shop to get some baby photos developed, being the proud and attentive mother that I am, and the wait was forty minutes.  And how does one amuse oneself in a shopping centre if not by shopping?
Clearly my daughter is, in fact, my daughter since she seemed to quite enjoy the shopping experience.  She sat up in her pram, quite happy looking around for the first half an hour and for the second half, she just went to sleep. Not a peep was heard from her!  This made for a happy mummy. 

 Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 25 Bad To The Bronze.  I was actually looking for those lip crayon things when I went into Priceline, but I couldn't find them. Perhaps they have not yet been released in Australia?  At any rate, I'd been meaning to check out the Colour Tattoos for a little while, so I picked up this one - apparently it looks like Rubenesque Paint Pot from MAC, but I don't own that so I can't really comment.


What I can comment on is the fact that this product is damn long lasting! I swatched this at around 1pm today, forgot about it and went about my business, had a shower (utilised my bar of soap) AND IT IS STILL THERE.  Impressive.  I'm very excited to try this on the actual eyelid (as is the intended application) tomorrow.


I also grabbed a refill of the Loreal Telescopic Mascara - this is the Clean Definition version, which I use for my lower lashes and have done for the past three years.  I'm not a fan of this mascara for my upper lashes as if doesn't give a very full effect (not that the product claims to do such a thing, so that's by no means a fail or anything).


Not sure when I'll use this home colour cream, but if I feel like darkening my hair on a whim, I am now fully armed and capable.  There;s no reason I selected this particular brand, I just liked the colour the best.


Ooh, prettttty.  The triangle and the heart ring were only $4.00 each - bargain!! The pink stone ring was around the $10.00 mark, so I was a happy chappy.  There were quite a few nice, trendy pieces in Diva at the moment, I might pop back in a couple of weeks for some wristwear :)


And lastly, a couple tops from CottonOn.  Nothing too flash, but I don't currently have a loose fitting white t-shirt (and that's a basic, so it's practically a sin not to own one) and the maroon knit was only $10, so really, it would be silly to pass that up.  Eh, who needs excuses, I haven't purchased new clothes in around nine months!

The On-Holidays Haul

Weee, I'm on holidays again!  Yesterday was my obligatory first-day-of-holidays flop around lazy day, and today was my obligatory holiday shopping day. I didn't really get too much today, but this is what I've picked up over the past few weeks. 

Cosmetics first.


Bloom lipgloss in Gypsy, Loreal Telescopic in Carbon Black, Loreal Super Line felt tip liquid liner in Silver Black, Bloom concealer, Batiste Dry Shampoo in Diva, Bloom Thirst Quencher Vitamin E Body Cream, Chi Chi polish in Disco Diva, Manicare Glam Nails top coat in Ice Ice Baby, Bourjois bronzer, Red Earth blush in Cherry Blossom.

I've had the bronzer for a couple of weeks - everyone was raving about it, and my old one had just run out so it seemed like a good idea at the time.  I'll admit, it is a nice colour and the scent is delicious, but I'm pretty sure it has been making me break out.  I'm assuming it's the scent. Sadface.

The nail polish is gorgeous - I'll have to do a swatch soon to show you, I can't explain it.  I wore it to my sisters Winter Wonderland themed birthday party and it was perfect.  Looked like ice.

I haven't really had a chance to try out much of anything else, but I'll let you know as we go along.  I'm looking forward to the blush :) 


I've been obsessed with sideways crosses for a little while now and had been looking for a double ring with the design in gold.  Found this is Sportsgirl today, and decided to grab a matching bracelet too :)

I love this shirt - I've recently realised I'm quite partial to white button down shirt.  This one is by Bardot, is sheer, with cuffed sleeves and slightly military.  What's not to love?

And finally, a pretty pink t-shirt.  I can't believe that I'm such a girly-girl, but I don't - and I don't think I have ever - own a pink t-shirt.  I love this one from Sportsgirl, mostly because of the little knot.  Now I can't wait for summer to come back around so I can wear it with denim cut offs!
