I feel there may be a few perplexed expressions as the title of this post is read by my fellow Australian fashionistas, but to set the story straight, I have not forgotten my Australian citizen status in favour of La America! That being said, I have acquired a nice little collection of beauty goodies fresh from the states, courtesy of my parents, who last month made America-a-go-go their own.

Reminding me that beauty ain’t a crime, I’ve been spoilt with the gift of colour, seen in a selection of bold MAC lipsticks and a shimmery palette of Sephora eyeshadow. With the party season only a whisper away, I’m very excited at the prospect of pulling out some smokey eyes in my makeup routine. Accompanied with an unusual purple lip like MAC’s Heroine, I’m bound to make a statement. Hey- if it’s Lorde’s signature shade then you know it’s special!

Of course no beauty regime is complete without summer’s hottest scent and Kate Spade’s Live Colour Fully is just plain delicious! Flirty with laces of florals and fruit, this scent confirms one thing, this summer is going to be magical!

Shellac’s Cake Pop

Ladies, I know I’m not the only one who has been admiring the sudden trend of Stiletto Nails! Celebrities like Lana Del Rey, Rihanna, Beyonce & Adele have put the pointy trend in the forefront of the fashion landscape, seen as the popular nail shape for AW13/14. While this trend often captures a daring and even risky nature, I have incorporated a little femininity within my manicure seen in the pastel pink shade, Cake Pop from the new Spring 13 line of Shellac nail polishes. Add a few feature studs and your an instant rockstar!

For all Brisbane girls, visit Scratchers Nail Boutique on James Street for an amazing mani. Kisses!

A moment on the lips…

Louis Vuitton Cosmetic Case in Damier Canvas, Nimue Sun-C SPF 40, Napoleon Perdis Crème De La Crème eye shadow, Bobbi Brown Brow Shaper, Natio Lavender and Rosemary Hand and Nail Cream, Napoleon Perdis Camera Finish powder, Nutrimetics Hydra Brilliance Lipstick in Persimmon.

Lately, just like a fashionable hobo (a fobo perhaps?), I am carrying my top 6 beauty possessions everywhere I go, lovingly packed in a new Louis Vuitton Cosmetic Case. If you are a lady who loves convenient, long lasting and affordable products- invest in the following:

Nimue Sun-C SPF 40: A necessity to keeping skin safe from the hot and humid weather!

Napoleon Perdis Crème De La Crème eye shadow: A cream that looks fabulous spread across the eyelid or even mixed into foundation for a quick and easy illuminator.

Bobbi Brown Brow Shaper: Stray, unruly eyebrow hairs have met their match! This product, clear in colour, leaves brows looking immaculate.

Natio Lavender and Rosemary Hand and Nail Cream: Leaves hands feeling soft and subtle and smelling equally beautiful.

Napoleon Perdis Camera Finish powder: My secret to faking flawless, non-shiny skin! Being both long-lasting and lightweight- this product is my absolute favourite!

Nutrimetics Hydra Brilliance Lipstick in Persimmon: A coral/red hue that adds that little pop of colour to any outfit.
