hi
You'd think that having had a blog for over three years, I would have learnt how to post on a semi-regular basis. Nup.
1 - Skincare haul from Escentual (they were doing a third off French skincare), Rimmel Apocalips in Stella, Cereal magazine (my latest publication love) and new runners, Nike Flyknit Lunar 1+. I was about to run out of my favourite lipbalm, Nuxe Rêve de Miel (I've finished it now) so I bought two backups.
2 - Rimmel Apocalips. The applicator has a little well built in so you can apply the product all over your lips without having to redip it back into the tube.
3 - Nuxe Huile Prodigeuse. Smells so bloody good, I want the perfume of it.
4 - Cereal.
5 - Nike Flyknit Lunar 1+.
6 - I took apart a YSL Touche Eclat. This is what it looks like.
7 - Found four Ikea pencils in one bag.
8 - Jane and Tina's birthday draaaanx.
9 - I sprained my ankle. Had to wear some emergency spare feet.
10 - Topshop junk food socks I wore to bed while nursing my ankle.
For Sunny - I have Burberry Earthy on in the photo on the right.

makeup challenge wk2
Demonstrating some commitment for y'all.
This is the second week of the challenge. I don't have many foundations (only three and a tinted moisturiser) so I'm sticking with the same foundation this week. Same with powder, only because I want to finish it. I don't often use eyeshadow (you know, with only 15 minutes to get ready I only hope to get my face on) so the real challenge this week will be to use them. Ever since I got Burberry Earthy I haven't used Douceur so it'll be interesting to see how I get on with that.

Burberry Sheer Foundation in 3 and 5
Nars blushes in Douceur and Gilda

My favourite fashion week! How original. But seriously speaking, this is where all the best designers go and that's pretty exciting.
My apologies for the slight delay. Uni started.

Hamilton Island
I'm back from my mini-break in mini-paradise. Four nights on Hamilton Island after summer school. I've always had an aversion to beaches. Not because I don't like swimming - it's mainly the people who go to beaches. Catseye Beach on the island was pretty much deserted, as was Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island. We spent almost every night in front of the TV. We (Jane, Jasmine and I) have developed a taste for My Kitchen Rules, as in: Hey, so we'll get back to the apartment at quarter past seven to catch MKR? My life is an embarrassment.
1 - about to land / 2 - sunset at One Tree Hill / 3 - view from apartment / 4 - being beached whales with Jasmine / 5 - Whitehaven Beach / 6, 7 8 & 11 - sunset again / 9 - my frieeeends / 10 - underwhelming cocktail while waiting for the sunset to set / 12 - selfie in a selfie in a selfie
Day 1 - We settled into our holiday apartment. The view was pretty spectacular. We went down to the beach before taking a dip in the apartment pool and spa.
Day 2 - We took a half day trip to Whitehaven Beach. The sand was so fine and the water was warm and crystal clear. I would go daily if I had access. Apparently the sand from the beach was used to make the lens for the Hubble Telescope. A little fun fact for y'all. The rest of the day was spent in the pools. We spent the afternoon in a pool, then as the sun was about to set we went to One Tree Hill to watch the sunset.
13 - bleak weather conditions as we sailed to the reef / 14, 15 & 16 - leaving Hamilton Island marina / 17 - some fish and a snorkeller / 18 - Hardy Reef (I clearly can't keep still enough to take a proper panorama. Doesn't stop me from doing so though.) / 19 - some coral, innit? / 20 - Jane felt a little seasick and had to hold onto the next seat. I perfected my Terry Richardson thumbs up / 21 - gronk friends / 22 - sea spray is not my friend / 23 - sea spray is not Jasmine's friend either.
Day 3 - Knowing that the GBR is dying we decided to pay it a visit before it's too late. We snorkelled for a bit in Hardy Reef. As we were about to jump in the water we saw a turtle and Jane asked 'Is it real?!'. Never going to let her live that one down. I think the part we were allowed to snorkel in was stressed out because a lot of the coral was bleached. The fish were pretty cool. I'm almost certain a fish tried to attack me. I lost the back of my earring, an elastic band and a bobby pin. Hope those fish don't die.
24 - view from the lookout (second highest point on island) / 25 - again, but with Jane taking a photo / 26 - I slipped on the way down / 27 - Catseye Beach at low tide ft. Jasmine taking a panorama. Our apartment was on the third storey of the middle building. / 28 - a crab / 29 - Of Montreal on Nick Jr. / 30 - the flight back.
Day 4 - This was the only day we slept in (previous mornings we had to wake up at 7-7:30 to catch the boats out to Whitehaven and the reef). We went on a hike to the second highest point on the island and the view was quite spectacular. It was a little strange seeing frogs on our way up (and down), considering there wasn't really a source of water. We were planning to go kayaking in the evening but turns out it's a high tide activity and it was low tide in the afternoon. The afternoon was spent checking out what was at the bottom of the beach. I'm not going to lie - I was pretty surprised. There was a lot of broken coral pieces, a lot of fish and crabs.
Day 5 - We got up super early to kayak at 8:30. We saw another turtle! After a quick dip in a pool we went to pack and check out.
