Aussie, How I love thee!

This is just a short post, and a little shout out to one of my all time fave conditioners. Aussie 3 minute miracle! .. This is the frizz remedy because I have curly frizzy hair.

The idea is that you use it as a special treat for when your hair needs some extra care, and leave it in for 3 minutes. It will leave you with lovely smooth soft conditioned locks, that smell great! 

Of course, You can use this every time you wash you hair if you wish, but I appreciate it more if I use it ever now and again as a treat. It smells yummy and perks my hair up, leaving it frizz free, shiny and soft.


Do you use any Aussie products? I love them, and how they work.. and smell! Yum!

A Very Special Aussie Prize Package!

Remember this? .. It seems like forever ago doesn't it?

Well, my prize for that competition was going to be a day with a Makeup artist (Nic of Pixiwoo), following them around and learning some stuff from them.. However, due to other commitments she had to pull out.

Then I was informed by Aussie that they would arrange something else with another makeup artist, which was fine.. I was invited along to London one day, but I only had a couple of days notice and could not make it.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, between us we recently decided that I would be given a special prize instead, which I was more than happy with as it just seemed like everything was against us.

I got my prize yesterday and I am sooo chuffed with what I was sent. It seems like the Aussie team really put thought into what they got for me, because they are all things I love/want/need! :)

This is my signature scent, I have been wearing it since I was 18 and I love it.. How did they know that? I am impressed, I love it soo much, it smells divine!

Look at this gorgeous little brush holder! It's really dainty and vintage-y looking. It's really cute and looks lovely on my makeup table.. I was only saying recently how I wanted new storage for brushes!

I was bowled over by these!! They had taken the time to find out what I liked and knew that I am like the biggest EVER fan on True Blood, and so they got me the set of books. I have been lemming these for some time and I am sooooooo excited to own them! :)

How lucky am I? .. Sleek prize one day, and this the next. Thank you SO much to all the girls over at Aussie. I love everything and am overwhelmed that you sent me things you knew I would love.

Thank You For Reading!

Aussie Comp Make up Look!

G'day Sports!

So, a little late, I know.. But here is my entry to the Aussie competition. Luckily I was given a little extra time because I have been sick and never got the chance to do my entry.

My look was based on this gorgeous sunset picture :



I just wanted to do a hot bright sunset type look that really stands out. When I think of Australia I think of heat, sunshine, sand, and beautiful sunsets. I also added some purple eye liner on the lower lash line for the Aussie logo colour, of course! And to add a little sparkle I added some gold glitter over the purple, but I don't know if that shows in the pics. :)

I hope you like it!






(Lol @ me sporting my Oz style hat, minus the corks!)
