Good news! Models Prefer Eyeshadow Quads are idiot proof!

Which means they have my name ALL over them.

Do you remember the Wet n Wild trio palettes that would have the use of that shade pressed into the tray, so you couldn't mess it up if you tried? Models Prefer do that now! And that's really cool!

So this little gem is called the Espresso Yourself palette (oho, I see what you did there), and features a base, lid, crease and corner color. Four shades, not three, so we're upping the difficulty level. Am I still going to be able to cope? Only one way to find out!

Models Prefer lipstick in Cherry Pie

The eyeshadows are quite fallout-ish, I ended up dampening the brush which helped a lot. I did and re-did them a few times, and whilst I couldn't clearly set the four colors apart from each other, I really liked the burnished-pewter look the four together gave me.

Never you mind my eyebrows - they're getting cornrowed tomorrow.

Elsewhere in this image, I'm wearing Loreal Nude Magique BB Powder, Tarte Amazonian Clay blush in Tipsy, and Maybelline's Lots of Lashes mascara.

It's almost a pewter foil effect in person - these lights tend to bleach me out a bit, and thus the shadows aren't really done justice here. My first thought with this quad was that it was great work-makeup, which I'd still hold to. It's compact and solid and any of these four shades I'd happily wear on their own if I'm ultra lazy.

And how pretty is this lipstick?! It looked so RED in the tube, but went on more like a tinted balm than a lipstick. I hadn't spent much time with Models Prefer lipsticks, but this one has convinced me to look at the rest of the colors. A lip product has far more of a chance if I feel like I can apply it without a mirror with low chances of horrific accidents. 

So yep, Models Prefer continue the trend of being far better than they have any right to be. Next stop - Imma get my hands on those glorious crayon-shaped lipglosses. IIiieeee!

My Perfume Shelf - thesis statement: I have too much perfume

Surprising no one, idly perfume-windowshopping on the internet leads to some considered attention to my own stash. So I thought I'd showcase it. And likely tell some meandering anecdotes. You can blame Su from My Perfume Diaries for this one.

(Clockwise, far left: YSL Babydoll, Taylor Swift Wonderstruck, The Body Shop Neroli Jasmin, Firebird Pomegranate Rose and Woodsmoke & Vanilla, Unidentified Arabian bespoke fragrance)

YSL Babydoll

Hasn't everyone owned this at some stage? it's an ultra sweet, almost purely pink grapefruit scent, and this is my second bottle. A friend of mine in uni wore this scent all the way through those years, so it's still her smell, but it's light and summery and fresh and so nice to wear. I suspect I'm getting a little old for it, but you know.

Taylor Swift Wonderstruck

I'm definitely too old for this one. I was gifted this by an Elizabeth Arden rep for doing an article that she liked about T-Swiz's tour and really it's more here because I love the look of the thing. It's like a christmas bauble draped in a charm bracelet with fittings from a Russian Orthodox church. Scentwise it's very pretty - sort of like a fruity non-alcoholic cocktail - and not very groundbreaking. It isn't musk sticks drenched in alcohol, like many celebrity fragrances, and lordy that's a relief. Nowadays I have smelt it on so many girls less than half my age that I'm a bit reluctant to wear it. 

The Body Shop Neroli Jasmin

You can't tell form the image, but I have a third of this left. I have burned through it. It's spent most of it's life in my handbag since it's such a handy size and the fittings are so solid I don't run the risk of anything busting open or the lid falling off. It's - quite literally - orange blossom and jasmine, and it's beautifully sweet and a bit spicy as it settles on your skin. And it makes me ultra nostalgic because I haven't had a body shop perfume since I was fifteen, and it was Woody Sandalwood, which was a ridiculous choice and must have made some of my friends eyes water. 

Firebird Pomegranate Rose and Woodsmoke & Vanilla

There really was no way I wasn't going to like PR. It has my favorite scent note and my fourth favorite scent note, and since it's an oil the scent hangs around a long - long - time. I have to be a bit selective about where I wear it, since my older sister's asthma acts up around rose, but that aside, it's luscious and I love it. It was in my handbag before the Neroli Jasmin, and I have about an 8th of the little tube left.

Woodsmoke & Vanilla was a gamble when I got it, because it sounded luscious, but vanilla can go oh-so-wrong, and I was a little unsure about how woodsmoke would communicate in a fragrance. Good news! It communicates like toasting marshmallows on a fire. It doesn't smell like that, but that's the immediate mental attachment, and thus it's like carrying around a tiny vial of winter nights/open fire with you. And it's just as cosy and warming as you can imagine. I generally ignore classifications like summer scents, evening scents etc, but this one is most certainly a winter scent. Wear it in summer in this part of the country and you'll inadvertently make the populace think there's a bushfire. 

Arabian Bespoke

My mother went to Abu Dhabi a few years back and brought me back this, nestled in a blue velvet box with huge beautiful silver embossed Arabian writing on the lid. The following conversation:

ME: Wow! What is it?

MUM: Perfume?

ME: Yep - what kind? Whats it called?

MUM: I don't know. It's an oil and not a spray. I saw him mix it.

ME: Who?

MUM: The man I bought it from. 

ME: So - what do you know about it?

MUM: I said it was for a girl your age who's a bit of a Character. 

ME: ....okay.

MUM: It's supposed to be based on J'adore.

I've had J'adore before, and it ain't J'adore. What it is is a slightly marine, fresh waterlilies type scent, which has gotten progressively denser and more powerful over the years. A dab of this will be all I can smell for 24 hours. And I just put some on, so my olfactory senses are accounted for for a good long time. Good work, Suzanne.

Escentric Molecules 01

Like a very large portion of my owned perfumes, this one was first owned by my older sister (not this bottle - she just had the fragrance first), and she explained to me that it was loaded with pheromones that shifted the scent based on your personal chemistry. That seems a trifle unlikely but it certainly does smell different on various people. For me it's like pepper. And celery. Yep, it's weird, but I really like it. It's ultra fresh and sharp and wakes you up when you apply it. I'm pacing my usage here since it's more pricey than many of it's contemporaries. 

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb

I have no qualms about accepting guilt-gifts from my parents when they skedaddle off to Europe over every Easter. In whats become a bit of a tradition, they bring us back perfume, and I nominated Flowerbomb as my most recent. Would I be unpopular if I said I don't think it's rocked my world as much as I'd thought it would? I loved it instore, but at home - hm. It's pretty and sparkly and a bit champagne-y and I love the bottle design, but I think maybe I'm just too aware now of how many people wear this one. 

Marc Jacobs Pomegranate

Did you know they aren't making the Splashes anymore?!? I loved those things! I love how audacious and ridiculous it is to have a 300ml bottle of perfume (granted, a very mild scent that needs replenishing)! And I wanted Rain, and Mandarin, and Ginger :( Let that be a lesson - she who hesitates is lost. 

I haven't used much of it, probably more because I get nervous about picking up this massive thing. It's certainly a pomegranate, but there's a few additional fruits to round it out and the initial impact is quite spicy. It also smells very clean, which explains why many people use theirs as a linen spray or room deodorizer.  

Alexander McQueen Kingdom

Here it is, my all time favorite. This currently has a third of it left, which pains me, since it was discontinued a LONG time ago, and I'm coming to the sad conclusion that the bottles left on eBay must be incredibly old by now and probably not at their best. It's cumin and sandalwood and ultra-strong boozy-sexiness. It's initial smell is almost insect-sprayish, but count to five and suddenly it blossoms into this glorious burst of spice and pepper and alcohol and oh man it's awesome. 

I love the design too, it's like a massive slice of blood orange with a chrome skin, and when you hold it upright it's a 3D heart. Daaym. So cool. I shall not love another like it in my lifetime, no sirree.

Fendi Fan di Fendi

I got a little vial of this in one of the sample boxes a while back and didn't initially love it. It started quite chemical-ish, but given a little while it grew on me. It's definitely an Adult scent, there's a generous lacing of tobacco and spice in it which makes this one a bit of an evening-out smell. At it's worst I feel like it smells like an ashtray. At it's best I feel like Cruella De Vil. 

(L to R: Clinique Aromatics Elixir, Agent Provocateur L'Agent, Dior Addict, Agent Provocateur, Anna Sui Rock Me!)

Clinique Aromatics Elixir

You could argue that this is my longest standing perfume - I've had the tiny little sampler vials around since I was thirteen. Which also shows you how little attention I pay to age appropriateness. I'd say AE is my oldest fragrance, in that I can completely envision myself wearing this as an elderly lady. It's a very powerful scent and it's pretty obviously a love ore hate one. There's a whole lot of cooking herbs like coriander and sage and a fair chunk of chamomile, and an oakmoss base which (I think?) gives it the impression that if you sprayed it you could see it in the air. It's a heavy hitter and not for the faint hearted. Or, you know. The young.

Agent Provocateur L'Agent

Has all the keynotes of the original, with an additional layer of smokey complexity. It has more of a progression than the original AP, starting out like a smack to the face with a bundle of incense, then mellowing out into something smokier and chocolatier. It's strong, definitely not one you'll want to buy on a whim without wearing a bit for 24 hours. Seriously, it's going to smell different every time you pay attention to it. 

Dior Addict

My second ultimate favorite, and thank god for that since there's no sign of this one going out of production any time soon. It's another sandalwood with a big slab of bourbon vanilla and some barely-there mandarin and  Neroli. Ugh, so good. Most certainly a night smell, but I'm definitely guilty of just feeling like I need an extra burst to get me through the door, and Dior does that for me. Don't judge it straight out of the bottle - you need to apply it and walk away, then see how you go. 

Agent Provocateur Agent Provocateur

This one's become a bit of a classic, which you don't expect from a rose scent. And again, it was a grower for me - smelling it straight from the bottle tends to trigger a mighty recoil reflex, and the initial spray is likewise ultra strong. But it hangs around a long - long - time, and the soft traces of it eight hours after application are the best. There's a huge amount of musk in it too, which I go back and forth on, but in this context it works. 

Anna Sui Rock Me!

Ultra light, fruity sweet fragrance, summery and teenage. I was somewhat misled by the glam rock packaging into thinking it'd have a bit more sass to it than it does. It smells like a fruit salad, though once it's settled its kind of a light lemony peach mist that softens into a honeysuckle. I really enjoy this, but my search for an adult day/summer fragrance continues - Rock Me! feels like an awesome gift for a fifteen year old? Probably because there's no sexiness to it whatsoever. Cute, fun, appealing and will make you suddenly crave a Boost juice. 

And here's everyone! Good grief that was epic. Does anyone regularly use any of these?

Thalgo Indoceane Vital relaxation treatments - I am nowhere near classy enough to say that that phrase aloud

I have this thing for French skincare, I've realized. Maybe it's the self-loathing generated when I mangle the French language asking for products and the knowledge that it keeps me humble. I have a French colleague at work who amuses herself by asking about my skincare routine and laughing merrily at my attempts to respond. But all that aside, Thalgo would be the third product line (Ella Bache, La Roche Posay) that has sucked me in with it's Parisian sass.

I've met Thalgo before, albeit briefly when I visited Willow Advanced Beauty Therapy in Jindalee a while back. I was there for microdermabrasion, so the Thalgo products were just the massage oils, but the smells were glorious and my bliss-fogged brain remembers little else. The only relevance this has on this pair of products is that I came to them with very positive leanings.

The Gommage Sucre-Sale Sweet and Savoury body scrub is a wonderfully spiced 250g jar of oil-based exfoliant, it's principal active ingredients being sea salt and brown sugar, thus the name. Thalgo's big "thing" is the incorporation of marine elements into their products, and this one sports intriguingly named Brown Algae. As appetising as that sounds, it doesn't get in the way of this scrub smelling absolutely glorious. It's lemon and mandarin and grapefruit and saltwater and yep, that's an odd thing to try and imagine, it's incredible in action.

There's a very generous portioning of oils in this scrub, so it slides very far. Which is lucky, since there's a fair bit of me. Sadly though, the full tub lasted me maybe six or seven showers - 250g really isn't much for a body scrub. While it was there though, it was glorious. My legs were soft and fragrant and I didn't even need a foaming agent to shave them. Even if I skipped moisturizing after my shower, I had no scaling or dryness whatsoever for multiple days. I was somewhat unprepared for how wonderfully effective this one was.

As glorious as this scrub is - I have a quibble with the packaging. It's an oil based scrub, which makes it slippery to handle. And the jar is glass. Does this make anyone else uneasy? Maybe it's just my natural inclination to assume I'm going to break something. While the glass jar looks and feels very luxe, this probably would have been a good choice for a plastic tub. The Sublime Cream would have been fine in glass, it doesn't live in a shower recess.

And SPEAKING of the Sublime Cream:

Or the Creme Subliminale Sublime Cream, to be exact, though aren't you just repeating the title in two languages? I am far too hopped up on codeine to be logicising this right now.

This one has a really interesting texture - it's not a body butter, which I'd been expecting. Instead it's sort of like room temperature yogurt. Or pouring custard. Dense and creamy but very much a liquid, which is why  it'll escape from its tub at a moments notice. And it's filled right up to the brim. You will thank me for this warning later.

I was wary of this one initially because the smell didn't do much for me. The key ingredients are rice bran oil and sandalwood - though they specify "milky sandalwood", which I find strange since sandalwood has to be one of the most non-dairy scents ever, with the possible exception of pine or citrus. And maybe that's the dichotomy which makes this smell a bit odd. Happily though, for a cream that has such a solid scent in the tub it vanishes fast once applied, drying on the skin quickly for optimum convenience points. And this one makes up for the over-too-soon experience of the scrub - it's still going strong after many, many applications.  Like the scrub there's a lot of slick to it.

Very sold on the quality of these products, I then went trawling around to find some stockists, and herein lies the issue. Within Australia you can only get these through salons - there's no sanctioned online store, which is very unfortunate. There is SO much value in the 2am impulse purchase, cmon guys.
There's lists of the stockists on the Thalgo Australia facebook page, since there currently isn't an Australia-specific Thalgo website at the moment. But even then the lists are in the image gallery and it took me an embarrassing amount of time to find them. The lesson in this is that web presence trumps everything, even when you have very lovely PR people. This also means I have no idea how much these two retail for, though online detective-ing makes me fairly sure they'd be more than 80 AUD each.Yep, it's hefty. Lovely, but probably prohibitively expensive. Would make a glorious high-end gift though, for mothers days or expectant mums especially. That scrub would be glorious for swollen feet and ankles.

Lust List #03 - the 2013 installment!

You know I didn't do one of these for the WHOLE of 2012? Nope, don't know what's wrong with me. That said I'm trying to slide a bit away from wishlists of cosmetics and more towards soft furnishings and clothes. You know, which guilt me far less.

1. Soia & Kyo coat

Maybe not necessarily THIS one, but I looked over their current collection and it didn't do much for me. Probably because they're heading into summer so everything's pretty lightweight. I'll blame Anna Dorfman for this one - I don't think they have Australian stockists. And even if they did, I suspect I'd be too big for their size range, but my god they're lovely. 

2. Pia Wallen cross blanket

This glorious thing comes into stock and sells out in minutes, and then everyone waits around for another six months. I highly doubt I'll ever secure one, but still - beautiful. and reversible. Country Road currently does an approximation in blue and white, but it's NOT THE SAME. It lives over on this site, for what works out to be about $260 AUD before shipping, which objectively probably isn't that much for a designer blanket, but when I think about the amount of Frank hair...

3. Octopus convertible ruffle dress

Ugh, love this so much. Check it out in this link, it winds and fastens a million different ways and it's lovely. Blame Sarah for this one, she introduced it to me and I've been hovering over it ever since. OMG ruffles. And I love the fact that there's so many wonderful etsy sellers who can custom make or tweak designs to your measurements - so good. 

4. Religion leather bag

Yep, a little bigger than I'm used to, but it's so slouchy and textured and ugh. Nothing says "spensive" to me like ultra-textured leather. And it's not even that expensive, $160ish. But still. Behaving myself at the current moment. I need clothes more than I need additional handbags at this point. 

5. Ghost Chair

I love these things! And since I have no qualms about tracking down replicas, they're relatively easy to find. There's the armless variety as well, which you'd want to do if you were using them as dining chairs. Current plan: four for the table, maybe two for incidental furniture. I love the concept of incidental furniture - it makes me think that the intent is for someone to look sideways and go "that wonderful thing? Oh, you know, I just forget it's there sometimes, it was an afterthought. Aren't I tasteful and elegant?"

 

6. All the Componibilis

I already have ONE, a three tier black one that houses my underwear (and it's actually a real one, go me). But I want a mighty five-tier. In yellow or red. Because I'm subtle like that, and the downstairs is currently Componibili-less and we can't have that.

7. Luxirare

Not a specific item, though I like the clutch above. Everything she makes is so amazingly high end and minutely finished that I think I only want something of hers so that some of her talent rubs off on me. Her blog is split into fashion and cooking, and both sides will make you liquefy in envy and hunger. 

8. Dita Von Teese for Art Deco

I don't even know where to start tracking this stuff down, but I'm trying very hard not to look into it too closely since I know that if there's anything I need less in the whole world, it's makeup. And if I discover a feasible method of getting this stuff, then poor me will be even poorer. Hold out on me, Dita, I know it's only a matter of time.

9. Sephora Pantone Universe 2013 Colour of the Year

I thoroughly enjoyed the Tangerine edition last year, and now have my sights set on the followup. Doesn't hurt that I've always been partial to green, especially in eyeshadows and nail polishes. This lot hasn't even hit ebay yet, lawd knows when I'll be able to get my hands on it. Well, as with the Dita set, trying not to research too much.

OKAY I'm going to leave it there because it's making my Paypal finger twitch. I love these lists if you want to have a shot at one I would totes want to see it, so put a link in my comments. 

And I'll leave you with this - my gif to you.

11 facts, 11 questions

I stole this from The Mustard Jumper, who did it with far more maturity and style than I'm about to. You produce 11 random facts, then answer 11 questions. I'm a dreadful narcissist and enjoy such things. 

What happens when you leave a 17-year-old alone with a photocopier? This happens.

11 RANDOM FACTS

1. My grandparents raised my mother in a Welsh pub. This is doubly funny when you know her.

2. My entire being was shaped by LucasArts point-and-click CD ROM game Loom, a fantasy game set to the soundtrack of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. I was about 6 when it turned up at our house, and it legitimately terrified/thrilled me. I can trace my love of classical music, the fantasy genre and video games to this one event. I can still happily sit down and play the whole thing through, pixels and all.

3. I gathered a stack of black eyes in primary school. Mostly because I’d fight boys over things and they’d justifiably hit back. I have a dimple on my left cheekbone that is a remnant of the worst of these.

4. I didn’t get a job until I was 21 – technically. I worked in a CD shop for a very short time when I was 16 and the managers were so dreadful to me I was happier being broke than going back into another similar situation.

5. I can disconnect my shoulders at will. I try not, but sometimes I’ll wake up on my side with my shoulder lying in front of me, not underneath me.

6. My mother had a brain tumor as a 20 year old, and still has a big crater at the back of her head from the surgery. My family has a glorious history of head problems.

7. A scary movie can legitimately give me nightmares, sometimes for weeks. The last to affect me thus was Pan’s Labyrinth, which ruined my sleeping for about three months. So no, I’m not going to Evil Dead with you.

8. The most I have ever reacted to a form of entertainment was the closing sequence of Mass Effect 3. I sobbed incoherently for a long, long time.

9. I’m ultra-flexible. Annoyingly the fat gets in the way of the unleashing of my true show-off potential.

10. I can cope with most spiders. Huntsmans, however, send me into paroxysms of sweaty shaky arachnophobia. I’m also agoraphobic and freaked out by hair – single hairs, unattached to a human head. Unfortunately, I shed a lot.

11. My great uncle was jailed for bigamy. He had three wives in three different countries. Oh, the crazy Welshmen.

11 QUESTIONS 

What was your first beauty product you can remember? Urrr - one of those multiheaded lipsticks, where you could pull off the top one and slot it into the bottom to change the available head. Plasticky as all hell and I highly doubt I wore it out of the house.

If you could choose how the world ends, what would you choose? Quickly. Very quickly, with no warning.

What is your best organisational tip? I'm terrible, and definitely not an authority. I would say carry a notebook and diary ALL the time. Also a pen. Guess which bit I tend to forget.

If you were on death row, what would your last meal be? Tom Ka Gai soup, a huge coke, a McDonalds Chicken Bacon Deluxe on an ungodly pile of Hungry Jacks onion rings and spicy sauce. And then a big slab of chocolate ganache cake. Then a big bottle of vodka, because at that point what the hell.

Have you ever been on TV? Um, yes. I was in a pantomime and a film crew came around to film me in my tiny principal boy costume. Happily I've never actually seen myself on TV, that would be beyond horrible. I've been on the radio a few times, which I find a lot more bearable.

What animal would you choose as your “totem animal”? Heh.

If you could have sex with any superhero, who would you choose and why? An interesting thought. I'll just leave this over here.

Can you fake any accents? Everyone can be a bit English, can't they? I attempt Welsh every once and a while but it's like trying to swallow your own tongue.

What is the first thing you can remember of me [Mustard Jumper]? Would have to be the twitter presence, I probably found you through @Dempeaux. You're a good egg.

Choose one sense and one sense only. That’s it for the rest of your life. Sight, obviously. I read and write, every other part of me is negligible, and my default self doesn't talk a huge amount anyhow. I would miss my looped Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack, obviously.

Rollercoasters, yay or nay? Aw hell naw.

Would totes read other peoples versions of this. Post em in the comments if you're so inclined!

Face of Australia Glitterati polishes!

HAI GUYZ. I'm drinking coffee with a generous amount of liqueur in it. Countdown to unrelated GIFs and possible sloth photos.

I'm in constant two-minds about glitter polishes. Firstly it can sometimes feel like a bit of a mean trick because they always look like incredible molten shimmery amazingness in the bottle, and that rarely if ever communicates to the nail - that awesome effect having been caused by infinite layers of liquid polish.

Secondly it's an incredible bastard to remove. I've never met a glitter nail polish I haven't had to partially scratch off. Tissue or paper applied to the nail is quickly shredded, the nail underneath usually suffers a bit from the rough treatment.

THIRDLY I have some negative connotations because I used to use glitter nail polish as a 15 year old, because my skills were so atrocious and glitter polish is a bit more forgiving of sloppy application. This isn't glitters fault. But I really should get all my prejudices out of the way before diving into this.

And now, fighting an uphill battle for my affection, Face of Australia's Glitterati collection!

So I'm going to swatch these twice each. First as a single layer, and second with multiple layers - glitter polishes tend to be completely different beasts depending on the density of the application.

First four:

(sorry, had to take these photos at my desk. the photography lights were doing insane things to the amount of reflective surfaces on my nails)

Left to right: Dancing Queen, Studio 54, Looking for some Hot Stuff, Disco Inferno.

The polishes seem to be divided into either small-grade glitter or big, chunky glitter. As a result, a lot of product needs to go on the nail to get full coverage for the chunky stuff, and one or two coats suffices for the small-grade. Studio 54 and LFSHS were very nearly done with one coat, and I really like the effect in the second image. Dancing Queen and Disco Inferno I had to load on and poke around a little so there weren't little fragments of clear nail underneath.

Left to right: Funky Town, Heart of Glass, Boogie Wonderland, Saturday Night Fever.

In my defense, my ragged little fingernail stump has a mighty bruise under the nail and trimming it down isn't an option right now...

Third category! Pale tint with glitter, and I'll admit I was a bit unenthusiastic about these before swatching. Pastels aren't really a common nail choice for me, and if glitter is going to be involved then I'd rather it be a full on commitment and not a partial thing.
Having double swatched them, the tinted ones don't double up on the glitter much at all, which was a little sad. That said, Boogie Wonderland with its consistent small-grade glitter came out very pretty, if sparse. Saturday Night Fever, with it's massive chunks of glitter, was awkward to apply and immovable once there.

The issue with the big glitter fragments is this - they are a rigid, flat surface, being applied to a curved surface, and thus will not sit flat. So regardless of how well you apply, that fingernail is going to feel like a gravel bed once it dries. That mightn't be a problem for some but it drove me near insane. I could not claw that stuff off me quick enough.

But I also really enjoyed Studio 54 and LFSHS, and the small-grade glitters are far more comfortable to wear. Formula-wise I have no quibbles, just the glitter choices. I don't follow the logic behind the really big fragments, and I don't find them comfortable at all.

Glitterati is out on Face of Australia shelves - go check em out, they're verry pretty.

Adventures in Spam: Zombie bait

On one hand, I'm touched that they're concerned about my well being  On the other hand, I don't entirely think Darwinism was intended to be used thusly.

I think you and I remember The Female Eunuch very differently.

............what? Holy moses. I can't even fathom how this particular spam came to be.
