Wish List Wednesday 29/2

 
A simple list of wishes this Wednesday :)

 *  I am wishing for a foundation that is actually pale enough for me. Mac don't make one and I haven't had any luck with 'drugstore' brands. I want to know how I'm meant to find a product light enough to highlight my face if I can't even find one to match my skin in the first place. Any suggestions ?

*  I would love to go and get my hair cut and coloured somewhere nice, by someone who knows their stuff. The only people who have done anything to my hair in the last few years have been me and my former housemate. A trim here and there and random, box colours I was feeling at the time. I want to see a professional !

*The only other thing I'd love at the moment if for my surgery to go well on Tuesday. I have been patiently waiting to have my four impacted and very painful wisdom teeth extracted for three, almost four years. I had an appointment today to find out the date of my operation (it was meant to be another six weeks away) and they'd had a last minute cancellation. So surgery next week it is! My incredibly sweet boyfriend is taking two days off to look after me. I hope I don't swell up too much! I have to take a week off work, which I haven't even actually startet yet (I start tomorrow) Wish me luck!

P.S Happy Leap Year! (do people say that? who knows!)

Friday Favourites

An update on one of last weeks favourites, the Oxy10 treatment - I currently have no active breakouts. I don't think this has happened to me since I was about three months old! Yay


    Aveeno Cleanser - I didn't really do much research before picking a new facial cleanser, which is pretty silly because it seems like such an important thing for your skin. I was shopping in Big W, picked out two that I thought sounded nice and literally had my boyfriend hold both behind his back and I chose a hand!  This cleanser is super nice, it makes my skin super soft and doesn't dry it out. It's also sparkly and gold - so cool!

Aveeno Positively Radiant Cleanser - Less then $10 at Big W


The BBC Life Series - I'm not really sure what to say about this series other then it's Amazing ! I watched the entire series three times in about two days and learnt so much. Some of the footage they captured during the four years (!!!) of filming is just.. incredible. It aired in 2009 and I can't believe I've only just watched it.

My favourite bit:



How great are they? I laugh so hard every time I watch that, the little fish spitting out the sand to help the Mum fish. So Cute! :D

Only two favourites this week. I haven't really had much spare time and wont for a while - three job interviews and pre-employment medicals, dental appointments, a doctors visit, a golf date, a double birthday party, seeing Taylor Swift and a family BBQ. Lots going on :)

On the plus side, I have a new job and might have another one soon :D

Wish List Wednesday - Books and Brushes

Some things I'm wishing for this week :)

New Brushes and Butter

 1 + 2 - I really want to try out some sigma makeup brushes. The set I use currently was about $10 on ebay and they're pretty rough. The blue travel set is from their new vegan collection called 'Mr.Bunny' -  practically made for me. I'm obsessed with bunnies!

 3 Revlon Lip Butters - These need to come to Australia soon, everyone on youtube is saying how amazing they are.

A New Camera

4 It probably seems silly but I'd love to get some little lenses for my iPhone. I think i'd feel a bit silly using them though, but it would make my phone like a real tiny little camera.

5 I've been using the same Canon 350D for almost eight years! I still love it and use it almost every day, the only complain I have is that the LCD screen is so tiny. You can hardly tell if anything is in focus (my poor eyesight probably doesn't help). I'd love to upgrade

6 A pretty new camera strap to go with my new camera? Or just my old one. The one pictured above is adorable. Here's another reversible one, so cute.

 Some new books to read! Even though we have piles of books I haven't read yet, I really want to get a copy of these!

7 - The Hunger Games trilogy - So that I can see what all the Hype is about (Although  maybe I should have learnt my lesson, I tried reading twilight once. Definitely not for me!)

8  - The Eye a Natural History - I borrowed this from the library once and I never got to finish it because they requested it back. I have been obsessed with it ever since - It was so interesting and it was one of the first non-fiction books I read for fun outside of school. Now I love them


       'Using a spellbinding mix of scientific research, mathematics, philosophy, history, neuroscience, anecdote and language theory, in The Eye Simon Ings unravels brilliantly the never-ending puzzle of how and why we see in the way that we do.'


9 - A Time to Dance a Time to Die - The Extraordinary Story of the dancing plaque of 1518. I just really want to know what happens!

Happy Wednesday :)

Instagram Recap

   The week since my last post has been a pretty crazy one. I had a job interview which went really well and have been helping my boyfriend and his mum organise their house so that my things will fit. It's so easy (for me especially) to accumulate a lot of.. stuff - for lack of a better word.
Some of it still useful, just not at the present time, and some of it purely sentimental so it's stored away and forgotten about. I really need to work on just keeping (and buying!) things that I need and love. I have a bad habit of picking up furniture I see on the side of the road, or buying it cheaply at op shops when I have no need for it right now and nowhere to store it.

 On that subject - my mum and I are holding a garage sale in a few weeks. I hope I sell lots, I need the cash !

Here are some photos from the last week (From left to right)


Valentines day make up, pretty flowers at Ikea, a toy dinosaur I found in my bag, Scotty, sorting out my new room, Napping with Zorro, 'bird' listening to some other rainbow lorikeets on youtube and talking back, ready for my job interview, Electronic, Australian Monopoly (I won! woohoo)

Follow my on Instagram on the iPhone: firsttooth
and let me know if you have any good garage sale tips!

Wish List Wednesday - Stinky !

For some reason this post didn't go up on Wednesday like I was ment to - so I'm posting a 'Wish List Wednesday' on a Friday. You can tell I'm new to blogging !

Scented Things

  While my boyfriend loves burning incents I definitely prefer candles ! They light the create is just so pretty,  I even like they way they smell when you blow them out - just like birthday candles. So many memories of cakes and fun parties.

I waste* lots of my spare time watching 'beauty guru' videos on youtube and lots of them talk about their love for Bath and Body Works scented candles.  I'm not really sure where to buy these in Australia and postage seems like it would cost a buttload because of how heavy the glass jars would be :(

These cute ones from dusk seem like a good alternative. Cotton Candy, Orange Fizz - Yum!

1. Orange Fizz - Juicy Fruit jar candle
2. Cotton Candy - Medium Pillar
3. Grape Ice - Revlon Scented nail polish
4. Peach Smash - Juicy Fruit jar candle

I have a priceline voucher burning a hole in my pocket so I think I'm going to get the grape nail polish soon. Grape is my favourite flavour, scent, anything! So good.

I was looking on Etsy the other day and found a bacon scented candle. Can you imagine that? I can't decide if I would like that or not

 (*I say waste because it's pretty time consuming, but I learn so much and save heaps of money based on their recomendeations.  I love Amarixe and FleurDeForce - They seem so lovely. I just wished the lived closer so we could be best friends! I always learn so much from Gossmakeupartist - and he's pretty cute )

Pretty Things

5. How amazing is this Camera bag from Onabags.com ?
6. A cute print for my new room! From Etsy
7. A gorgeous original print in frame by Danny Brito - Ghost Mountain

P.s Does anyone know if these dusk candles are good? Do they fill a room with the smell well? Let me know in the comments :)

What I Wore - Shorts !

I wore this outside for about half an hour while I went to the grocery store. How silly! Sometimes getting dressed can seem like a chore - nothing fits right, looks right and I just can't be bothered.
Other times I can't wait to get dressed, normally when I have an outfit already planned in my head. I rediscovered these shorts just a few days ago while moving house and I had to wear them! Normally I am always wearing some kind of dress, a cardigan and black tights. I think I got stuck in this 'uniform' because I have always had a pretty large bum! I never felt comfortable in pants or shorts - I have pretty much given up on finding flattering jeans !
Lately though, I feel like I don't really care as much if people look at me and decide I'm fat, or think my outfits are awful. Being stuck in a routine like that is super boring, especially when I love clothing and putting outfits together. Who cares what people think!






A totally awful jumping photo!


This shirt has the cutest metal pocket - I wish it didn't shrink in the wash and start showing my belly though! I also tried out something new with my make up too - pink and green on my eyes.



Outfit Details:

Cardigan - Target
Shirt - MissShop, Myer
Shots - Target
Shoes - Human Premium, Haris Scarfe

Humid Tuesday

I hung out with my boyfriend around the house today, eating breakfast and cleaning up. I was meant to head out to run some errands but it was too hot - well, not hot but humid and that is my least favourite thing in the world. Humidity! Yuck !

 Shea made me scrambled eggs - No one makes them better. I could eat them everyday!

 







How cute is he? :D
