Good day!
It has been a while hasn't it? I've been a little busy and I was slothing for a while in the comforts of my room on my days off work. All I can say is welcome to spring! One of my absolute favorite seasons of the year because I can finally stop wearing pants!
Some of my favorite fashion is S/S based so I can't wait to see the trends for the year..
Yin Yang Top - Forever 21, Plaid shirt, Pleather shorts - May, Knee Highs, Rabens
Rubi-Woo - Mac, Gel liner - Bobbi Brown, Raizin - Mac, Espresso - Mac
Rubi Woo is one of the perfect warm based reds I've ever used, it's one of those colors that'll definitely suit everyone so give either this or Russian Red a swatch if you're looking for a red!
Rubi Woo is a matte lipstick and definitely lasts the day! I'm still using Raizin as my go to blush I definitely can't get enough of it and the thing about Mac blushes is that they seem to last forever, I use it every day but i still haven't hit pan.
Statement lips are the best :)

First Impressions
Before even getting this mascara, I have already heard the most amazing reviews about it and I was generally stalking it every time I went past it in a store. Packaging wise the mascara tube was very sleek and sexy with just the right amount of curve, perfect marketing for what it supposedly gave I'd say. The box it came with didn't scream benefit (surprisingly) but just generally had the amazing reviews and statistics that the mascara gave.
The Product
The thing that was raved on about the most was the wand of the mascara having the tips right at the tip so you can really concentrate on hard to reach places. Actually hearing about it reminds me of the L'Oreal Explosion Mascara, having the same concept. The formula has no specific smell but seems to have a thick consistency rather than a wet one.
Positives
The mascara most definitely adds a load of volume and brings so much attention to the lashes. After taking the mascara off my lashes still feel full and healthy. Very pigmented and fast drying.
Negatives
The product can be quite clumpy and gloopy if you're not careful. Upon taking the wand out of the barrel there is always an excess on the tip with the smaller spikes, A little bit pricey All in all the mascara is one of the better ones that i've used that show instant lift and amazing effects. The only thing about living in Australia is the high prices, this mascara is about $48 a pop. I like to use this mainly on a night out because it really gives your eyes that extra lift that you need without the need for piling on the falsies. Labels: 2013, beauty, benefit, comparison, eyelashes, feedback, good, lashes, long, make up, mascara, opinions, photos, reviews, they're real 1. Wearing Heels on the Daily Heels can make an outfit, but personally I'm lazy as fuar. Usually it takes about over 8 hours before I feel like I'm dying in heels so it's got nothing to do with withstanding the pain. The thing is though, I'm so terribly clumsy. The amount of times I've fallen over walking on flat ground, even in my past times playing soccer running around with grips and still falling on my face. If whatever I'm doing is too far, too casual or too short I'm not even going to consider heels. Thing is though it does look amazing but my laziness just can't deal with it. 2. Bright Lips Simple clothes can really stand out with a quick bright lip & it can add massive points to your simple make up. But bright lips stain man! One mistake and that is going to sit there for a bit, everyone's going to see that fade of a lipstick. Also I find that Bright lips are something that I personally want to maintain, I can't stand having an uneven lip if it's bright and the constant adjustment and mirror look 24/7 ain't that modest. Don't get me wrong it looks amazing but thinking about what color compliments my outfit and carefully applying so that my lips don't look geisha or fishfaced is a little bit too much effort. I'll stick with my lipbalms and nudes for now thanks. 3. Full eyeshadow This is one of the things I am laziest with. I really really love girls with the most amazing eyeshadows because it's so creative and man their eyes are sexy. But I really can't be bothered cleaning my brushes after every time especially because i might need the same brush for two colors and ugh cleaning that is just such a bother. Then primer and worrying about creasing isn't the best. Putting on eyeshadow adds another 20-30 minutes to my routine, a little more thinking and an extra thing to worry about faulting. That is why I do my brows, my eyeliner, mascara and I'm done. 4. Changing bags every day (^That's actually Ay's Bag) I love my bags but it is one of the things I neglect, I'm always rocking the same bag because it already has all my stuff in it and I don't have to move anything. My theory is I really should change bags but I won't because this one already has everything. Firstly I really should get some decent bags that are a bit more interesting and diverse. And yeah I got my eye on the new Michael Kors. Not too keen on constantly moving my stuff though. 5. Doing my hair Like eyeshadow my hair is something I neglect. Unlike Ay whose hair is always styled and looking beauts, my hair is the same because I don't do anything to it. My hair is so difficult it's so oily at the roots and dry at the ends and can't withstand a curl for longer than an hour. It just doesn't hold so I have two options, plain or straightened and my hair is usually kinda straight anyway so I don't even bother with the latter. Plus I can't see the back of my head, lose all my bobby pins and am practically living on the one hair tie so I really am not bothered here. 6. Patterns Being basic is just easier. Nuff said 7. Tagging Looking at my 12 tumblr followers I'm constantly thinking about tagging every thing I repost with about 50000 tags that's relevant but doing that to every photo is just not worth the time. Yeah I think my tumblr looks freaking awesome but no-one else can find it due to my lack of tagging. Same goes for instagram, blogger, pinterest, vine, twitter etc etc. #can'tbebotheredforthisish #nophoto #hashtag #ceebstoscreenshot #theresalwaysonefriendthatdoesthis #orthis #unrelatedbrand #fuckyobitch #itsasong 8. Photos and Videos I know I know I said I was going to get a better camera ages ago and I will still I'm just deciding between which ones. But also I'm lazy and can't let go of $1000 + just yet. Not to mention the amount of posts ready to go but I just haven't gotten around to taking photos for it. Today is 21st of March Lets see when this actually publishes... 9. Saving Legit. I have my goals that I want to eventually do, things like my big holiday, moving out, getting a new camera. But there's so many awesome things out there like a new pair of sneaks or needing a new concealer and while i'm there getting a few different lippies or trying out that foundation, blush, everything that I've been eyeing. It's just difficult to save when you are the strongest impulse buying person in the world. Ladies and Gentleman. A consumer succumbed to every Marketing ploy, right here. 10. Eating Healthy Ha.. It's soo much cheaper and easier to eat junk. Soz though. This all being said will probably inspire me to actually do these things more often. Hopefully anyway because that will mean i'm not so lazy. Hopefully I'll be doing these things more often in the future but at the moment I'm lazy as. Note. These Photos aren't even photos I took for this blog, just photos I found I took ages ago that I thought were applicable...That's how fucking lazy I am. Laters. xx.

This month's theme was "Spring in your step" which seems perfect to welcoming in the warm weather and it's all about having a clean start which is perfect for the warming weather. Unfortunately with all the busy-ness around me I didn't manage to take photos myself but I did use the products so I'll at least put up a review for you beauts. So this is the review from what I had in my Bella Box.

Hey boos,
I have been so MIA lately and i'm sorryyyyy T_T
I've been up around, here and there and just all over busy with everything.
Recently my internet was down for about 2-3 weeks so that didn't help with anything as well as a few assignments and exams popping up. At the same time i've been ploughed by work and my sister is recently moving in so my house is a wreck and my back is in pain -.-
But I'm back and here I am, once again I'm wanting a new camera that autofocuses whilst filming so it's not shit. I'm looking into Panasonic Lumix GH2 so far but it's still up in the air.
Anyway huns, See you soon.
xx.

This month i'm going to try and reduce my spending on other things apart from this list, last month I saw my spendages depleting on just trivial things here and there and it just fell through my hands. Hopefully I can reduce this month, although my choices are quite demanding. Let's have a look From the last wishlist I have these: Alien by Thierry Mugler

Ugh, I just wish I could have a million dollars and have everything up down and in-between, how incredibly materialistic and conceded I am. I don't mean to but when it comes to wishlists i feel so poor, but I'm so grateful and excited whenever I get anything i've been wanting. God I sound like such a selfish brat. I'm not this shallow seriously! Only when I make a wish list. :) forgive me.
