Review Time~! Australis Cosmetics

Original Post (with pictures)

So recently, I made a small order with Australia because they are an Australian company, so I knew it’d arrive fairly quickly, I wanted to try concealer for the first time, and UniDays conveniently had a discount code for them.

Before I get a bit into it, I just want to say that I am no really a make up person, meaning I am NO WAY a professional and this is just my personal opinion/experience.

Concealer:

As I mentioned, I wanted to try concealer and I’ve been meaning to for a long time now. I bought the Go Camo, full on coverage concealer in the shade of: light. Now, again, I’ve never used concealer before, and I know I will not be buying this one again. This concealer feels sticky and is hard to blend out. I doesn’t really do any coverage, and with it being ‘full coverage’ I call bullshit. It’s rather light in colour and amazing, possibly a shade too light for me. Which is surprising. I’ve tried this underneath foundation, but there was basically no difference.

Eyelashes:

I’m not 100% sure of what to call this, but the next thing is a brow and lash extender… liquid. It’s a clear mascara that is meant to make you lashes look longer, but you can also use it on your brows, I would assume possibly as a setting/sculpting thing for your brows(?). But using this on my lashes, they did look longer, and it did go on fairly well. I’ve had cheap mascara before that had made my lashes obviously clumpy, but this doesn’t do that. I don’t like/don’t want to use mascara, but I think I’ll be quiet happy with this and will be buying this again. As for using this on my brows, I rather not. Personally, I just fill them in with eyeshadow and leave it at that.

Lip Liner:

The third and fine thing I bought was a lip liner pencil. It’s in the shade of Tickled Pink and I think I may like it. I’ve never had lip liner before, but it’s something else I’ve been meaning to get. I think the pencil is a little on the dry side, but since this is my first lip liner, this could be normal. I’m not sure. I this I got another one however, a different colour. This one, Tickled Pink is basically my natural lip colour. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, I’d just prefer something a bit different. Over all, I don’t mind this pencil, however, I think I would like to try a couple different brands before I decide if I want to buy from Australis again.

Overall Experience:

I think I did alright, but I feel it could have been better. However I am not regretting is experience, apart from the concealer. The shipping price for me was $10AUD and got here in a week (5 business days). When I got it, I got it in a box that was WAY too big for these 3 little things, I think they may need to rethink some of their packaging. Just saying a 16cm x 16cm x 12cm box is defiantly TOO big for something you could have possibly fit into a dvd postage box.

Hey Look! A Wig!

So for a little while now, I've been wanting to either buy a wig, or hair extensions. But mainly, I wanted a wig. I look on ebay.com.au a hell of a lot of a suitable wig that wasn't too expensive but was cheap enough for me to buy. I mainly didn't want to be spending $20AUD on a wig, so, because of my budget, I was going to buy a synthetic wig. Which I was perfectly fine with. The only concern I had was what would I do if it was too shiny, if it was too fake. But happily I got a wig that wasn't too shiny, it seemed pretty alright. The only thing wrong with it was the length. It was about 80cm long. With be being about 153cm tall, and me being use to hair a bit past my shoulders, that was defiantly too long for me. I ended up buying an orange with, from Australia, so it wouldn't take 2 months to arrive, but it also came with a free hair net/cap.
I ended up cutting the fringe, then cutting the wig, without a wig stand. That was a little bit of a pain because it's uneven and I'm sure it's pretty choppy. But I can deal with it.
Over all, this was a good experience and I am planning in the future to possibly buy from these guys again.

Above are 3 photos of me wearing the wig. The first, I haven't cut it yet, the second one, I've just cut the fringe, and the third, I cut the rest of the hair as well. Sorry for the slightly wild look there.

Anita Black Vampire Hunter Series 3: Circus of The Damned
By Laurell K. Hamilton

ISBN: 978-0-7553-5531-0
Publisher: headline
Cover Artwork: Sharon Chai, Stylorouge



SIDE NOTE: So, there is only so much I remember from this book, honestly, but that isn't a bad thing. The book before that I read this was the second book of the series and the current book I'm ready is the 4th book. Sorry if I mention things from.. not this book. Also, I am bad at remembering things, I just know they happened.



So each book currently, seems to be introducing a new place of interest. Book one, Guilty Pleasures, a strip club, The Laughing Corpse, a comedy club, now the Circus of The Damned, a circus of course. In this third book, a new couple of Master Vamps are introduced along side our favorite, Jean-Claude. We meet Yasmeen, and her human slave, Marguerite, Alejandro, who is fighting for ownership over Anita and Mr. Oliver, who may be older then time itself. We also meet an interesting man by the name of Richard Zeeman who Anita seems to have quiet an interest in.

(Sorry, I am instantly to lazy to finish this, procrastination much?!)

I'm half in the mood to write so..

New Year's Resolutions Are Bullshit!

Firstly, that's just my opinion.Secondly, it really is true.

As you can guess, I am not the biggest fan of New Year's Resolutions. Along with other things, making these promises to yourself, when you know you're going to fail is just.. why bother?! You know there is a high chance of failing, but you still have it in your head that this year is different. This year, you're going to make a chart, make a routine, write down your list of things you're going to do by the end of the year and boom, after about 3 months max. you're back on the couch, eating a jar of Nutella with your fingers little a toddler.

I see these resolutions / tasks like I see Valentine's Day. It's useless and you can do it, and start, any and every other day of the year. Why be romantic to your partner on 17th February when you literally have 365 days to buy them flowers, chocolates and take them out to a nice dinner. Why does it have to be that one day that you can only do that? Same with resolutions that you make on 1st January. Why January 1st? Is it because it's easy to say that you started on Jan. 1? Probably yes. But still.

If you are still wondering if I have things I want to do before the end of the year, no, I don't. I do have a list of things I wouldn't mind doing, but I'm not making it my year's quest do lost 20kg and read 30 books and travel to Iceland.

Make a list of challenges that you think you can possibly accomplish, not anything crazy, but more simple things that you can do on a more daily basis and start from there. Right now I'm thinking for me:

1. Read one full book a month.
2. Save all the money I can.
3. Try and work towards getting confidence to get a job.
4. Excersice via skipping

Simple enough list I guess, I make no promises that I'll stick to it and I'm also not setting an end date because fuck that shit!

Anyway,

I hope you can do what you can in 2015 and have the best of luck!

Happy New Year: 2015

So it's now January 2nd, 2015. I hope everyone had a good and safe night on new years eve, and I hope everyone is doing alright from your parties.

Yesterday, I was on Tumblr which is normal, and I saw a post. I normally see posts like this also but I decided to do something. All the post was, all it said was "Day 1 of 365". So, nothing special. But I decieded to open Google and write about my day, but I wanted to write it a bit different. Not like it was a journal, but like a book. Even though I know it won't be read by anyone but me.. But I'm now thinking of possibly posting it. One post each day. But right know, we'll see how we go, mainly because I doubt I'll last longer then 2 weeks with this. It'll start to fade. So we shall see..

Hope you have a great 2015~!
