Happy Australia Day!

Happy Australia Day to my fellow Aussies =]

Today was super duper hot!!! 

It was also my anniversary with my bf. Was only minor but he got me the Chanel sunglasses I had been eyeing for ages =D

I love love bows, so these sunnies are totally me and they actually suit me. Hard to find sunnies that suit my round head. Would probably wear these for the next five years cause I'm a girl who likes to stick to my key items.

Will try to come up with more interesting posts. Sorry nothing beauty related. Come to think of it I have not tried the My Beauty Diary masks that goes around the ears. Will hopefully try them soon and do a review =]

Take Care everyone!

Best Buys of 2010 and some regretted buys

2010 is the year I got girlier, lol =p 

Following are the best purchases I made in 2010:

Skincare

Cleanser: HadaLabo Gokujyun foaming cleanser

Misc: SK-II facial treatment essence

Eye Cream: SK-II Signs Eye Cream

Moisturiser: Vitacreme B12

Make Up

Powder: Jill Stuart Smooth Silk Powder Foundation in 202 Ivory

Blush: Canmake Cheek Gradation in 05 Peach Stripe

Lipgloss: Canmake Nudy Glow in 06 Peach Milk

Base: Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in no. 21 Bright Beige

Lancome Hypnose use to be my HG mascara - best for volumising mascara but sometimes smudges =(

It has now been replaced by Canmake Gokubuto which does not volumise as much as Hypnose. On a plus side it doesn't smudge and washes off easily

Body

Lush Dream Cream - easily melts into body and moisturises well

Hair Care

Moroccanoil - great for dry ends

Yanagiya  Prexceed Tsubaki Spray - I use this after I wash my hair for nourishment

Absolutely love Shiseido Tsubaki Head Spa Range, makes my hair very soft, moisturised and nourished. Also makes it stronger =]

Regretted Buys

SANA Soya Milk Arbutin Toner - Did not do much for me =/

Kose Cosmagic Sweet Deco Cheek - hard to apply and not worth the money

What have been your best purchases or regretted buys?
