Sephora haul

When I was up in Sydney I had to go to the new Sephora store on Pitt Street! It was kind of nuts in there because there were soooo many people. Truth be told, it wasn't the most pleasant shopping experience. I felt like I grabbed a bunch of stuff and was waiting in the check-out line for a long while. I made sure to pick up a few Sephora brand products: lip liner in Real Red, Universal waterproof lip liner, Color Lip Last 10 hr wear lipstick in Blooming Rose and an eye shadow in Morning Mocha (which I plan to use for my brows). I also picked up Benefit's Bronze 'n' Dandy kit that includes a mini Hoola bronzing powder, Dandelion brightening powder and lip glosses.

Are these not the most beautiful scrapbooks you've ever seen? I remember doing something similar when I was a child (but nowhere as pretty). These pages are so inspiring and fill me with such warmth.

I'm back from Sydney! 
I still can't get over this Emilio Pucci Fall 2014 asymmetrical gown Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore to amfAR 2014. 
It's sooooo gorgeous.

Hello lovelies. I'm going through a bit of a rough patch in life/ blogging slump at the moment so the computer is the least of my worries. My sincere apologies for the sporadic postings....
However, I came across this article on Harper's Bazaar and I thought it may be useful to you guys as well. I have always wanted to know the shelf-life of certain cosmetic products and am much more aware of it now since the weather is getting hotter and I want to use my products hygienically.
xoxo

Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Maximum Coverage Concealer in Light 02. A long name for such a itty-bitty pot of concealer. But seriously, it's the cutest compact with a mirror that I have ever used.
