A great blush to try:

TRUblend microminerals in Natural Rose 485.

Its a gorgeous peachy colour with a beautiful gold reflect!

Dry Shampoo.

This is another one of those things i thought EVERYONE already knew about, 
but apparently, not everyone does.

Dry shampoo is a lightweight spray that you can use on your hair in between washes.
It absorbs the oil in your hair, instead of rinsing it away like normal shampoo does.

It's a great product for people with oily hair who don't have time to wash it every single day!

I am currently loving 'Juuce Dirty Deeds - dry shampoo' which you can purchase from your local Price Attack & it comes in a pretty pink & white bottle for around $14!

Ps - what's with all these cosmetics labels giving naughty names to their products?
NARS orgasm & super orgasm?
Juuce Dirty deeds?
what's next!

Also, on my recent trip to Hawaii I was lucky enough to have easy access to Oprah's O Magazine.

Its my version of a lifestyle bible & one of the most relevant things I learned was how to go on a buying diet. Which, trust me, i NEED to do.

For every item you buy, whether its clothes, shoes, homewares, make up, whatever..
get rid of something.  
Donate it, sell it or give it away.

This helps you to actually take note of how much you're actually buying.. & of course when you get to the point where you absolutely can't imagine throwing anything else out, you will be forced to stop purchasing anything more! 
On the plus side, if you sell something, this gives you more money to buy something else!

& if this isn't enough..
when you're feeling empty & feel like you need to shop,
go & sit in a crowded space & go through everything until you start to feel cluttered.

I can't stand clutter. So this works perfectly for me!

I recently went on a 10 day trip to Hawaii (cue jealously) & was absolutely thrilled at how CHEAP it is over there.. make up in particular.

So as I am sure you can imagine i went slightly crazy with my money.. & gladly came home with a very empty bank account... & a whole lot of fabulous new additions to my make up kit!!!

I bought & filled an entire palette with beautiful eye shadows ranging from neutrals to antique golds & all different variations of this season's hottest colour - purple.
Stocked up on my new favourite mascara by YSL.
Also, found a new MAC Mineralize Skinfinish colour to replace my old (discontinued) fave -  
my new fave is called soft & gentle. 
which we do have over here but its SOOO much cheaper there.
Many more MAC face & body foundations, which are less than HALF PRICE!
Also MAC studio finish concealers, which I am loving!
& a whole bunch of other stuff which isn't lucky enough to make the list today!
Oh & my new favourite perfume, which was actually a gift from the lovely ladies at Sephora.. is Lady Million. YUM YUM!
Oh gosh, & i haven't even mentioned Sephora... it is make up HEAVEN. seriously.
I spent multiple hours over multiple days in that place. 
They have everything you could ever want!
... except Giorgio Armani.. which i actually did want.
& they also have FABULOUS brushes!

So basically what I am trying to get at.. is that if anyone that reads this goes over to the U.S anytime soon... i expect to be able to rent out some space in your luggage for some make up on your flight home =)

just kidding.

I saw this quote on a chalkboard that lives in the office of a very successful advertising agency...
There were hundreds of quotes on there but unfortunately i didn't have time to write down all of them. 
So i just took down the one that seemed most relevant to me at the time...

"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do."

I now live by it.
