First beauty/make up haul! (Chemist Warehouse)

Hi!

It's been so long...but I'm alive and well =)

Chemist Warehouse is currently having 50% off cosmetics from Rimmel, Maybelline, Sally Hansen and Revlon. During these sales I usually gravitate towards all of the nail polishes but for some reason I have recently been obsessed with lipsticks.

Here are the things that I ended up purchasing =) (And this is definitely not sponsored btw!)

I definitely wanted to pick up a concealer because I have really bad dark circles. After reading many good reviews I decided to buy the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser. I ended up picking out 2 of the 3 colours that were available: 110 fair/clair and 120 light/pale.

110 fair/clair has a pink undertone that is slightly lighter than my skin colour so I thought it would be good for highlighting but also for covering dark circles. 120 light/pale has a yellow undertone which is closer to my skin colour but slightly darker. This product has medium coverage (but buildable) and although it didn't completely cover my dark circles, it definitely made me look more awake than I ever have!

This is what they look like blended out:

I've also heard some really good things about the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder so I decided to try it out. I picked out the colour 04 Sandstorm. ($6.48)

Next is the lipstick craze hehe. From left to right:

- Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in 530 Fatal Red ($8.48)

  This is a true red which is very buildable. The formula is moisturising but has a short lasting power.

- Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in 150 Piccadilly Pink ($6.98)

  This lipstick is very moisturising and feels very nice on the lips. It is a very wearable baby pink colour with a slight

  purple undertone. This one is my favourite out of the bunch =)

- Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 423 Pink Velvet ($10.98)

  This lipstick is pretty moisturising as well and is a fun pink colour that would be perfect for evenings out =)

- Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in the colour 05 ($5.98)

  This colour is similar to Piccadilly Pink but is much more bright and not as moisturising.

- Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in 077 Asia ($4.98)

  Out of all of the lipsticks, this colour is the most natural. When put on my lips, it looks like my lip colour but better.

  It is the perfect everyday lipstick. However the formula is a little drying, although I can't really complain because of   the price!

On Instagram, I saw a girl with this nail polish and it looked really pretty. It's the Rimmel Nail Enamel Rita Ora 60 seconds in the colour 573 Breakfast in Bed which is a really nice mint green colour (although it looks more blue in the photo).

Last but not least is the Maybelline Eyestudio Master Sleek Brow Mascara in the colour Dark Brown. ($6.48) Again, I saw this product all over Instagram so I thought that I would give it a go. I've already used it and I really like it! I have naturally thick eyebrows but this product helps them stay in place. The slight tint also gives them a natural look. However if you have really light eyebrows you will probably need to fill them in before using this product.

So those are all of the products that I bought. I definitely bought more things than I had intended to but I'm really excited to start using them! If you have any product recommendations please let me know as I am quite a newbie in this department aha..

The sale ends on the 28th of September so you can still pick these items at the prices I listed if you're interested =)

Review: Urbanoutfitters.com

Happy Saturday! =)

Recently I made my first ever Urban Outfitters order online (the American one not the UK one). I only bought 2 items but here is a mini review:

Manicure Monday - Essie Fun in the Gondola

Happy Easter! =)

I can't believe it's been 2 months since I last blogged but hiiiii, I am still alive =)

Uni has been so busy but I am so glad that we have a small break for Easter.

In celebration of the Easter holiday I thought it would be the perfect time to share this nail polish that I recently picked up, Essie - Fun in the Gondola, which is a gorgeous mauve-y pink colour.

Wishlist: A bit of everything

Lately, I have been reevaluating my closet and have been on a mission to only buy things that I love. I have departed with a handful of items and as a result have been longing for some new ones. Like they say,"Out with the old, in with the new"

In my last post I mentioned that I was saving up for a few things. This, along with everything that's on my Pinterest, is my definition of a few things. =)

Holiday Sales Haul: Sportsgirl, Dotti, Cotton On, Forever New, Trade Secret + more

Hello there =)

I'm so sorry for neglecting this blog for the past month! I have been super busy and now that the holidays are almost over I am starting to panic and I feel like I have so much to do ><

Anyways, I have been meaning to post a haul for quite some time but I feel like I don't have enough things to do a collective haul. I didn't really find much from the Boxing Day/Holiday Day sales but nonetheless, here is what I purchased at the end of December and throughout January:

So yesterday this happened:

Thank you for all the love and support =)

 

Review and haul: The Iconic

Hi! Today I am back with a website review for theiconic.com.au which is an Australian online shopping website for both men and women.
I made my first ever purchase around two weeks ago and wanted to share my thoughts.

My package came in a very big padded bag which looked like this:

2014 kikki.K Diary

Hello there =)

The holidays are finally here and I can't believe there's only about a month of 2013 left!

Although I'm not quite ready for 2014, I managed to pick out my 2014 diary which I am super excited about so I thought I would share it with you guys =)

Wishlist: Boots, shoes, sandals

Christmas is next month and instead of studying for my exams, I have been browsing chunky boots, oxfords and sandals =P

Someone once told me, "You can tell everything about a girl just by looking at their shoes." Is this why girls are so obsessed with shoes?

Anyways, I have been browsing Ebay so much lately - they have so much stuff! I have never bought shoes from Ebay though so I can't comment on any experience. However, some of the shoes are also available from more reputable websites (although, more expensive) which I will link below. Here are a few pairs of shoes that I have had my eyes on:

Birkenhead Point Review/Haul/Adventure

Hello! =)
I cannot believe that it's already November, Christmas is next month!
However in the mean time, it's exam month =(

Today I will be reviewing an outlet shopping centre called Birkenhead Point as well as  sharing a few pieces that I purchased while I was there last month. 

Here is what the inside of the shopping centre looks like:

Food adventures at the Pancakes on the Rocks

Hi! If you live in Sydney then you might be familiar with the restaurant "Pancakes on the rocks". They have a few locations in Sydney and are quite popular. Today I'll be sharing a few dishes that I have tried and talk a bit about my experience =)

First will be the pancakes:

Strawberry Patch - $13.95

Buttermilk pancakes with fresh strawberries, cream, vanilla ice cream and strawberry coulis

5 Simple ways to incorporate physical activity into your everyday life

Hi! Today I'll be doing my first ever fitness post. This may be somewhat random but nonetheless...
Although I'm definitely no expert, I've been really trying to improve my overall health these days. Most of you may already know but Australia isn't exactly the healthiest country out there, in fact obesity rates have doubled in the past 20 years!

No matter what age or what size you are, physical activity is essential to your general well-being. Many of us don't exercise because we are too busy, don't have time or are simply too lazy so today I'm going to share 5 ways that you can incorporate physical activity into your life by doing everyday activities.

1. Take the stairs instead of the escalators. Although it doesn't sound like it will make a difference, trust me it will add up in the long run.

2. Park your car at spot furthest away from the entrance of the shopping centre. Many of us fight for that parking spot that's right next to the entrance of our local shopping centre but why not park as far away as possible and incorporate some physical activity?

3. If you use public transport, get off at the bus stop before yours and do that extra little walk. Of course, this might not apply to everyone!

4. Shop in-stores rather than online. Trust me, when Carrie Bradshaw said that shopping was her cardio, she wasn't joking. Walking around the shopping centre with all of your shopping bags is a actually pretty good work out; it's tiring but fun =P

5. Exercise in front of the TV. Instead of sitting on the couch, you can do some stretches or simple exercises such a squats.

I hope that these points were helpful! If you have any tips feel free to leave them in the comments below =)

Collective Haul: Dotti, Trade Secret, Valleygirl, Sportsgirl, Quirky Circus, Zara

Hi! I'm back with another haul...this time a collective haul =)

Firstly, I wanted to share my purchases from Trade Secret. If you're not familiar with this store, it's basically a store that sells a lot of branded goods for a much lower price. The store itself reminds me of Kmart/Target due to their red and white logo and brightly lit store BUT it is 100x better! They sell clothing, accessories, beauty items (like OPI nail polish!) home goods and branded handbags including Micheal Kors and Versace!
Anyways, you may have seen this picture floating on my instagram here but I thought that I would give the details in this post.

Forever New Haul

Hi! Today I'm finally posting my Forever New haul which I mentioned some time ago. It's not a very big haul but none the less, here is everything I purchased:

Review: River Island watch from asos.com using starthere.com.au

Back in May, I made my first ever purchase from asos.com (surprise surprise!). I had been eying this watch for the longest time and was patiently waiting for it to go on sale. Unfortunately that never happened but after discovering a cashback website - starthere.com, I somewhat justified the price and bought the watch! More details below =)

Wishlist: Spring fashion

Happy Spring everyone! (I'm a tad late but nonetheless...)
I can't believe it's finally Spring here in Sydney and it actually feels like it. The weather has been so nice lately which has been a pleasant surprise.
Today I wanted to share my Spring wishlist in celebration of the new season =)

Food adventures at the Grounds of Alexandria

Last month I finally got the chance to go to the Grounds of Alexandria which is a pretty well-known cafe/bakery in Sydney. I had heard many great things about this place but never really had the chance to go there since it is kind of in the middle of no where. Nonetheless, I finally settled a day with a few of my friends and off we went. So today I'll be sharing my experience at the Grounds of Alexandria =)
