Well, hi! It's been a while but we thought with it being SO close to Christmas now, we should do a lat minute Christmas wish list! It might give you some ideas for last minute gifts as well so we figure it's mutually beneficial!

YES to Tomatoes Clear Skin Gentle Roller Ball Spot Stick – for those 'once in a blue moon' spots that always appear just at the wrong time! $9.99

Signature Glamour Hair & Brow Tint – for perfect looking brows. Colour – Blond $35

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate – because I want to have younger looking skin in the morning! $59

Mecca Cosmetica Barefoot Beauty Polishing Foot Scrub –  because it's summer and barefeet should look beautiful!  $40
Kit Cosmetics Soothing Moisturising Socks – see above.  $24.95

 

 

Benefit High Flyin' Glosses Gift Set US$26 – I don't really think this needs any explanation! Who wouldn't want a little taste of all the Benefit lip glosses in a cute little box set?!

Hello Darling Nail Polish in Mrs Reynolds $20.95 – I went to the Hello Darling site because I was going to include the Glitter Bug in this list, but I couldn't go past this gorgeous rose gold polish, named for the new Mrs Reynolds (Blake Lively) but making me think of the Firefly episode called 'Our Mrs Reynolds' where Christina Hendricks marries Nathan Fillion's character, Mal Reynolds (long story but it makes me happy…)

Tigi Catwalk Limited Edition Fabulous Curls Set AU$24.65 – Anything to help my curls over Christmas while I'm in humid Brisbane. AND it's a gift set.

Dot EDP by Marc Jacobs AU$120 – I'm still loving this and Christmas to me equals new perfume!

Essence 2-in-1 Mascara AU$6.50 – Essence I Love Extreme Volume is easily one of my favourite mascaras ever and I'm a bit of a mascara junkie (I usually apply two different mascaras at a time). This 2-in-1 is an interesting idea and great for my travelling time of year where I either want something quick and easy or something done up and glam for party season!

Have the most relaxing, wonderful festive season! We are excited because we'll be together enjoying all our beauty purchases and the joys of the holidays.

Lots of love

Hello Darling – Rockcandy nails

Posted on by

So the other week I mentioned my dilemma in trying to decide on which Rockcandy manicure to try. I ended up going with Millions and Billions because it reminded me of Fairy Bread and the pink nail polish that accompanied it was such a vibrant pink, I couldn't really go wrong.

When it arrived, in a matching bright pink bag, I busted it open to have a crack at the Rockcandy mani. I was a little nervous at first, fancy nail art is certainly not my forte, so I went to the Hello Darling blog where I discovered a handy Rockcandy tutorial (that was accidental but too awesome to change).

I'm actually really impressed with the Hello Darling nail polish. You know how you can just tell a great quality polish? Well, Hello Darling definitely falls into that category, I cannot wait to try more.

And then I tried a more modest version, so I wouldn't look too crazy in my new corporate office.

I loved how it turned out and I imagine you could easily do every nail for a special occasion to really stand out.

After about about five days of doing my nails, the polish is still perfectly in tact. The little beads, however, are a little worse for wear. They have almost all fallen off and left little coloured divets in my nail polish, I think it will take a bit more practice before I get them to stick better. And, if you are anything like me, you will keep finding them all around the house. But they are so much fun, they are definitely worth trying!

With my new discovery of the awsomeness of Hello Darling nail polishes, it was brought to my attention today that the newest Hello Darling Spring ranges are about to be released. They are called Not Your Nana's Nightie and Crazy in Love and they're about as different from each other as they sound and just PERFECT for my favourite season.

 

Not Your Nana's Nightie is a collection of gorgeous pastels (swoon) and Crazy In Love is the complete opposite – a range of neon brights (gorg!). I don't know about you, but I will be mixing up between the two different styles for Spring because I love them both!

Rockcandy is available from Hello Darling for $24.95 and the new collections are currently available in the presale for $18.95 (or 20% off if you buy the whole collection!)

Have you tried a Rockcandy mani yet? How did yours go? What do you think of the new summer colours?

 

Disclaimer: I bought Rockcandy with my own money and my opinions are my own. I was in no way compensated for this post, I just had to share my excitement over my new love of Hello Darling!

Hello Darling Rockcandy dilemma

I don't know if you've heard, but everyone is talking about Rockcandy by Hello Darling. What a brilliant idea to add another dimension to the home mani by supplying a tub of beads to dip your recently lacqured fingernail into. I don't know about you, but I am just loving this (removal, however, is something that concerns me slightly).

You will imagine my dilemma when trying to decide what colour to choose. Take a look for yourselves at the variations on offer.

I finally decided to bite the bullet today and buy one of the kits to try out, and a new dilemma has presented itself. Half of the colours are currently sold out (the promise to be back soon though)!! What am I to do? Learn a valuable lesson from taking too long to decide which one to buy? Wait until they come back into stock? Or go with a colour that is still available? Oh, woe is me. 

There are 10 Rockcandy shades to choose from and they are $24.95 each from Hello Darling with FREE SHIPPING (my favourite). What colour should I get? Have you tried them? Do you want to try them? Get in quick before they're all gone!
