Ebay Haul!

So, a little while back I once again fell into the Ebay trap and spent an hour too many surfing for bargains. How ever, this time I was smart about it and gave myself a limit of $5.00 and item, sounds pretty good huh? Well then I was finding things all over the place so I needed to limit myself some more, so I came up with the plan of looking through Jewellery that was under $2.00, Free Postage, and of course But it now (who can wait for auctions these days), so here is the majority of what I got

 So in no Particular order (except for the order in which this is written) we have a silver chocker necklace, two dotting tools for my nails, a wooden cross on a faux leather chain, Peacock Feather earrings, a Hamsa Hand Bracelet, a Hamsa Cross Bracelet, Nail polish colour wheels (bargain), House of Harlow Look-a-like Drop Earrings, Patterned Pyramid Earnings, Roman Numeral Hoops, Trio Cross Bangles, Gold and Silver solid bangle and a Look-a-like House of Harlow necklace.
 One of my Favourite, and Most worn Pieces is this Silver Chocker necklace (which was I believe $3.00). This necklace goes with almost everything I wear and is very complimentary. The simple design means it can easily be dressed up or down and makes everything look just a little more classy.
 Another of my Favourite Pieces are these silver Roman Numeral Hoop earrings, which I have been loving wearing to work. Im not one for hoop earrings, but the added detail make them stunning.
 They also sit very nicely on my ears and don't draw too much attention. 

 Something that surprised me with how much I actually like it, was this world map ring, now this is not the most stable, or best quality ring, but it is really nice. The pendant itself is very small which i like about, and the detail is very nice. 
 These earrings where the only thing that I actually had wanted before the day, because I had seen similar ones both on TopShop and in Sportsgirl, but I didn't think they were worth the $16.95 price tag, so, when I saw them for $0.98 I almost jumped for joy! 
 I have developed a crazy obsession with Nail Polish, Nail care and Nail art in the last few months and have wanted to be able to try new things, but I didn't have a dotting tool, so when I saw these two for less then a dollar I was happy to fork out. I also got these Nail Colour wheels, which were less then Two dollars. So keep your eyes open for a Spring Nail Post and a Nail Polish Collection Post with all Swatches in coming months. 
 After I got my House of Harlow Sunglasses, I was in the mood for that Style, so I went ahead and got Look-al-likes of  both a pair of the Earrings and the Statement Necklace. 
 I particularly love the Necklace with is of reasonable quality (although one of the links has broken). it looks so similar to the HOH one that it almost passes off as it. Just after I got this for a whole $2.00 I found out the Sportsgirl is selling a similar design for $29.99. 
 The only thing that was inspired by someone else that I got was these Hamsa Bracelets which were inspired by Barbara From ThePersianBabe on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/ThePersianbabe), and I Love wearing these, so cute from summer, and no one in Australia has then! 

 And Finally, something I never would have Purchased, but I love it, is this Bullet necklace (on a very Ugly Chain), with Bible Writings on it (in another Language), with a giant cross in the middle. I think it is Lovely, I just  need another Chain.

Dr Lewinns Revitanail Base Coat (Nail Polish Routine)

Over the last few months I have really gotten into Nail Polish and I have gotten into a pretty good routine of repainting and all that Jazz, but I ran out of my Base coat a while back, and I don't know, I Guess I just didn't repurchase it, or any base coat for that fact. So when I came across Dr Lewinns Base Coat, I thought I would give it a shot.
 For those who aren't aware of Dr Lewinns, it is a brand of Skin/Nail care that mainly works on anti-aging. They have there original Revitanail Nail polish which is a clear nail hardener routine that makes your nails healthy and strong, and as someone who used to bite their nails, I can assure you, it works. So when I saw the base coat I wanted to give it a shot, and I have really been loving it. I have most defiantly noticed a difference in the length of time my polish stays on, I have had no stains and my nails feel less brittle when the polish comes off, all good things! 
I also wanted to talk Briefly about my nail routine. I normally apply my base coat, then two coats of polish (give or take), then my top coat (just so you know). Hopefully you have read my post on the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat (seem above), but my opinion of this has some what changed since then. At first I loved the effect of this Top coat, and found it help my polish to last, but the more and more I use it, the more I dislike it. hmmm the jury is still out on this.

Revlon Lipsticks (oranges)

So welcome to my first Spring/Summer lip product post. As I have been following the Youtube/blogging scene as well as the trends, I know that the Coral/Orange lip is a MASSIVE trend for this Spring Summer season, so a while back I started to collect a few products that I think are right on trend this season. 

I decided I would make this post a Revlon post because not only do I adore there lip products, but I know that Revlon is readily available all over the world and that is far easier for everybody to relate to. So lets get started!

 I have four lipsticks to show you today, all Revlon, The First (the one in the Gold tube) is a Revlon Living Lipstick in 'Blase Apricot' (215), for those not aware, these are in fact Revlon's most expensive Lipsticks (RRP is around $26.95 here in Australia). The Second is a Super Lustrous Lipstick in 'Melonade' (180), which has sadly been discontinued for now. The Third is again a Super Lustrous Lipstick in 'Kiss me Coral' (750) and Finally again a Super Lustrous Lipstick in Siren (677). All of the Super Lustrous Lipsticks RRP at around $21.95.
 Swatched Left to Right: Blase Apricot, Melonade, Kiss me Coral and Siren. 

Blase Apricot is a very nice Colour, being a muted Coral-ly Pink, This is the Perfect colour for someone who is fine with wearing a Bright Bold lip, but is having trouble with the Orange colour and want's to ease into it. This Lipstick is very Creamy and thick, so if you like to be able to feel your lipstick this is for you. I feel like this coulor would suit a lot of people who have more yellow toned skin, but may be slightly harder to pull of for people with rosy undertones. 

Next, Melonade is a Slightly more Orange Pink, but still only slightly working its way towards the Coral Trend. The lipstick is a whole lot thinner consistency, and although it is a very pigmented Lipstick, it can be Built up, so for someone who isn't totally comfortable with the Bold lip as of yet, this colour is a great place to start. This colour would work well on all skin tones. 

Kiss me Coral is a richer colour then the previous two, being a redy-orange. This Lipstick is perfect for people who want to work their way into the Orange Trend, but they normally wear Reds, so this subtle blend of the two colours will surely help with the transition. This is a very similar to the consistency of Melonade, but is not Build-able in the same way, and can look a little washed out unless fully applied. I feel this colour could work on the majority of skin tones, but may look a little dull on people who have Caucasian Skin, but have a tan, as it may blend in slightly. This colour would look sensational on darker skin tones. 

Finally we have the most Orange Of them all, which is Siren. Siren was released a few months back, as apart of Revlon's Spring/Summer lip Campaign. This is a very True Orange-Coral Colour, that is the most on trend now. I feel like this is the Hardest colour to pull off, because it is so Orange toned. People with Fair, yellow under toned skin can pull this off easily, as well as people with Caucasian skin and a tan, as it would really just ad that wow factor. If you have Darker skin tones, but aren't super dark, I would be weary because it may wash you out and that is not something you want in a lipstick. 
 I thought I would also include two of the Products I like to use in conjunction with these lipsticks. The first is the Revlon Super Lustrous Plumping Gloss in Rosy Pout. The second is the Lanolips coloured lip ointment in Sunshine, which is also stunning.
 Left to Right: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Rosy pout, Lanolips Lip Ointment in Sunshine. 

These colours can be used on there own to just ad that slightly Orange effect, or can be used in conjunction with any of the lipsticks. The Gloss is stunning over any of the Lipsticks to ad a polished look to them, and the Ointment is perfect to have as a lip balm underneath (as it is super hydrating), over the top for a subtle gloss or to help make a sheer coat of the lipstick look a little more finished.

MAC's Lipglass in Pink Lemonade would also work well with any of these lip sticks. 
I hope you enjoyed this Post and hope your all well. X

St Ives Soothing Oatmeal and Shea Butter

 Recently I have had rather dry skin, I was using my Aveeno Body Butter, but wanted a change, And after I heard Barbara (thepersianbabe) and someone else mention this on Youtube, I thought I would give it a shot. This is a very affordable Product the Retails for around $6.00 which is very good for the amount of product you get. The cream itself is soft and creamy, but not too thick, and not greasy at all. It doesn't take very long to absorb into the skin, so it can be used day and night and leaves a very sheer sheen to the skin. After a few uses my skin was notable softer!

Im not the hugest fan of Shea Butter Scents, but I don't hate this one, it has a very clean element to it. It also has No parabens which other St Ives products do have, so if you are concerned about that, try this on. I am almost out of this tube so im going to repurchase it tomorrow, I might try the Vanilla one! Highly Recommend you give it a shot!

SPLURGE: House of Harlow 1960 Chelsea Sunglasses

 About two months back I decided that I wanted to treat myself to one of the things on my Lust List, Now I dont do this very often, but thought it was about time. So after some careful consideration and a great deal of searching for the best deal, I decided on the House Of Harlow 1960 (Nicole Richie) Chelsea Sunglasses. 
 I wear sunglasses every single day, come Rain, Hail or Shine, but had never considered buying a pair of 'High End' Sunglasses, because, well, I tend to break them, But considering that I wear Sunglasses every day, and i LOVED them I did it.
 The Sunglasses them selves are a Black Cat eye sunglass, with the exaggerated edge. They are made of a very thick Plastic, which means they are incredibly stable. All round they are a very good Quality Sunglass. I know the look isn't to everyone's tastes but I love something a little Quirky, and I love big shades! The RRP is $180.00 I think (it may vary from country to country), but I happened to find them in a sale (lucky me), I also cannot remember which website I got them from because it was a while back (sorry)!
Finally this is a picture of me wearing them, sorry its a bad picture, but I wanted to get a quick one up because its better to see sunglasses on, rather then just in images.
