Keep an eye out for random review posts here and there although there are no promises of when they’ll appear.
Hope everyone is keep fabulously!

Hey everyone!
Just a photo post from Sydney/IMATS weekend (9th-13th September, 2009)
We flew with Virgin Blue. They were great!
Stay at Base in Sydney- great place for cheap accommodation and good surrounds
Paddy’s Market…AMAZING!
The place I got my hair to make extensions from, in the market…love the blue in the wig though
From some random Asian store…hahahah Eyelid Eliminate?? What the? LOL
Outside the Convention Centre/IMATS
CROWN!
Crown was so cheap and quite packed.
In the makeup ‘museum’ part of IMATS.
Body painted mermaid
Sydney Opera House…spiky!
Harbour Bridge… <3
Guylian Chocolate Cafe at Circular Quay. Very pricey and not so great service. Kind of rude really.
Water feature in front of an office building…it changes colour…
Went to The Chinese Gardens on our last day in Sydney
The weather was great and the water was so calming
Those were just some random photos from our IMATS/Sydney trip. Thanks for checking in and I hope all is awesome!!

Hey lovelies!
I just got back from Sydney this weekend- had an amazing time and am really quite missing the whole holiday mode. But nevertheless back to reality it is
There will be posts with photos of the theatre productions I did before leaving for Sydney as well as teh fashion parade once I get the photos myself . I will likely also review the things I picked up at IMATS and in Sydney, or I may just make a video on them.
In the meantime, here is a book I’ve just started to read and the official movie trailer. It looks amazing, and I cannot wait for it to be release in Australia. The movie stars Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana and is a love story with a twist.
Thoughts on the book if you’ve read it? And the movie if you’ve seen it? Comparisons between the two?
Hope everyone is faring wonderfully and post soon blogophiles!

Hello lovelies!
Just a quick post about my latest online obsession. By online I mean that I’m constantly on the website- www.coach.com- and browsing their selection. There are no stores where I live so I soak it all in online. This obsession to be a little clearer is COACH Leather goods!
As I’ve mentioned a number of times now I’ll be going to Sydney in a couple of weeks and I’ve heard mention of a Coach store in Sydney airport. So I’m excited to have a look at that.
Now keeping in mind I have no idea how these bags feel or the quality of the bag or stitching but they just look oh so divine! They have the most gorgeous luxe fabric linings inside the bag- each bag has a different colour that complements the bag itself.
At the moment I’m in love with their wristlets and am trying to choose between two different styles. They are great for a day or night out where you know you’re not going to need much. It’s also a great way to avoid carrying a lot, cause we all know you can bring a big bag with nothing in it only to find it full of stuff by the end of the day!
Madison wristlet in black. Also comes in a baby grey and pink.
Madison Op Art Large Wristlet in White
Thos 2 above are my favourites. I seem to have a thing for the ‘Madison’ design! heheh I really only like the Op Art one in white. There are other colours on the site that just don’t appeal.
The wristlets come in 2 sizes, a small-medium one and a large one. Unfortunately I don’t know the price on these because there is no Coach Australia website. Shall just have to wait and see!
What are your thoughts on Coach bags? Love them, hate them or don’t know? Leave a comment!
Thanks for dropping by and enjoy your night!

Hello blogophiles!
It has been a long while since there has been any kind of an update from me! Wow, well over a month now. Anyway, no excuses from me as to the lack of posts. Instead I bring you an update
In the past month I have been steadily working on a number of student theatre productions- doing the makeup of course!
I was key makeup artist for a production titled The Grace of Mary Traverse and that was great fun! Loved every minute of it! Still awaiting photos from the play, but once I get some I’ll post them up
Next up is another student theatre play titled Something Fresh (www.somethingfresh.com.au) which begins next Wednesday. Good times! I will be working with another girl on this play which is such a relief because this production has quite a large cast compared to standard student theatre shows. The last show I did, the cast numbered 12. This next one has a cast of 20+.
I will also be doing a makeup workshop for yet another student theatre play, Mourning Becomes Electra. The director decided she did not want to ask a makeup artist to be there for the entirety of the production so instead I will be teaching the actors how to apply their own makeup ie. ageing makeup and how to apply the designs I create
Also, in the coming weeks I will be doing makeup for a fashion parade as part of Escapade Events ‘The September Issue’ screening. All of these I am highly looking forward too!
And to wrap up the next couple of weeks of makeup intense activities I will be heading to IMATS Sydney (www.imatsshow.com). So stoked!! I am looking forward to that to no end. It will be a great way to wrap all beauty related things up. And hopefully I’ll have some new projects lined up by the time I get back from Sydney.
Posts with photos from the play will go up once I get them, and from the different events once they are done. And of course photos from IMATS will definitely be appearing! More videos may come when and if inspiration strikes, although no promises there!
Hope everyone is doing fantabulous and thanks for checking in!
