piCture pOlish order

I can't believe I actually haven't ordered from piCture pOlish and only recently realized shamefully that this is a huge error on my part. Sorry girls, I'm a terrible fan - undeserving of being a fan since I didn't even know much else about your polishes beyond drooling over the photos on your website.

After realizing this huge void in my life I finally made an order recently and received my polishes today (well, when I'm writing this it is the 25th of October but I'm scheduling it for the 28th - I know, how efficient am I with backlogging posts? Only because I have a workshop report and 50% essay due next week so I can't blog to my hearts content) and let me tell you, since I placed the order I have been carefully taking care of my nails in preparation of my order and it was so worth it!

Makeup Ramble: Femme Fatale Cosmetics order

Whooo! Femme Fatale Cosmetics is up and running and seriously off to a great start - knock wood! If you're not with the program yet then this is the very quick summary: Sophie of Ethereal Beauty opened up her own cosmetics line recently called Femme Fatale Cosmetics. She is an avid indie brand user herself and does some fabulous looks so definitely check her blog out for that. For more news on the company, go to FFC's blog. Sophie has worked so hard and has been so very meticulous about every detail of her company before launching it and I'm very proud of what she has to offer. Enough ramble, onto my order.

Quickie: Dee's blogsale results

I think when Dee of Miss Prissypants holds a blog sale it could count as one of the events a lot of ladies in Adelaide go "squee" over! Seriously, she is way too generous and her blog sales are always exciting.

Vanity Box order

While browsing the web I happened to come across Vanity Box, an online store that stocks Korean items from clothing to accessories. I'm not a Korean (or Japanese, just to clear it up) clothing/fashion fan at all, in fact I actually despise "cute", "trendy" etc. in general but some items on Vanity Box were styles I could pass off without gagging at myself (I'm terrible, I know). So I placed an order.

Friday Feature: Some More S'mores

It's time to fight Friday blues

It has been forever since I last did a Friday Feature but that's because living in a residential college doesn't provide many cooking opportunities (although I have made two cakes and numerous packets of noodles...) so I thought I would save the recipes for when I actually move out (oh please 2012, be the year where I finally get my own kitchen!).

I forget how this came about exactly but I think it started with me finding some Pop Tarts in the local supermarket here and getting all excited only to find Scott was puzzled as to why I'd be excited and what the heck were Pop Tarts anyway?

Hold up, what are Pop Tarts?! More importantly, my FAVORITE Pop Tart ever in S'mores and what are s'mores?!

Makeup Ramble: Evil Shades Cosmetics order

Considering how Evil Shades Cosmetics is in my top five favorite makeup companies list I think I've been a terrible fan. Looking back on my posts I've failed to do ESC (oooh, like the button!) justice and think I should do a post dedicated to all the shadows I have (another fail: I really ought to have more).

A Unicorn For One Night

(This photo is from a friends camera - rights go to her!)

Oh how splendid it is being a unicorn! This year for my college's annual Valedictory Dinner I decided since I had no friends (sad story of my life, haha) I would dress up as the last unicorn (I was hoping there wouldn't be any other unicorns on the night...would have been awkward). Last year I was a goddess and this year I was a mythical creature - I'm thinking there's a certain theme with the costumes I choose?

Anyway, I thought I would share with you the process of how I became a unicorn seeing as it was so painstakingly tedious! I think I owe a massive thank you to Scott for putting up with me - seriously, he went with me to shop for what I needed (wig, shoes, glitter, clay, glue), kept cheering me on during the process of making my horn and hooves and in general kept encouraging me to enjoy myself at VD. I think he deserves huge brownie points (don't know what he can do with them really...maybe I should make them redeemable for actual brownies?) for putting up with me, I wasn't a very chirpy unicorn...until I was a part of the deaths of six bottles of moscato and wine...

I swear I was a pure unicorn. Maybe not so much seeing as I had pink hair instead of white (as I had intended originally) but I guess the last unicorn in the world deserved to be a little naughty after all!
