The Adelaide Vintage Expo 2012

Hi everyone,

This past weekend I attended the annual 'Adelaide Vintage Expo' that was held in the Ridley Pavilion at the Adelaide Showgrounds. I went on Saturday afternoon but the Vintage Expo ran Friday 17th through to Sunday19th August. Admission was AUD$7 for adults, AUD$5 Concession. 

Initial thoughts when entering the pavilion were great! Great atmosphere with live 50's rock music by The Villenettes on stage, a hustle and bustle atmosphere, it was shoulder to shoulder. The demographic was young and old. A lot of young people, families with children and also older couples. There was something for everyone at the Adelaide Vintage Expo including: live swing dancing demonstrations, live rock music, burlesque, fashion parades and a compere hosting the live entertainment on offer!

This post is very [PHOTO HEAVY] but I hope it gives you an idea of what was on offer this year at the Adelaide Vintage Expo 2012. 

Some of the Adelaide Vintage Expo models doing their thing!

I fell in love with this blue Cadillac :)

Lollies!

Vintage Photo Booth. The girls from Retro Photobooths - including retro/vintage accessories

Gorgeous put together models at the Vintage Expo

        

Handbags galore!

Not quite vintage but these shoes were just too photogenic! 

So stunning!

This vintage styled pop-up Barber Shop was too much! Love it!

A very impressive Marilyn Monroe dress collection.

Wow, just WOW!

Beautiful displays and friendly stallholders

Broaches galore 

I may have picked up a little purse from this vintage stall 'Vintage Fox'  - blog post coming soon.

Excuse the photo quality. I was mesmerized by the gorgeous vintage looks coming out of this salon makeover stall. Pin curls, glamour waves, and makeup. 

        

Cheeky burlesque by 'Ruby's Burlesque'

Burlesque by the stunning 'Peaches & Gin Burlesque'

Beautiful!

Did you go to the Adelaide Vintage Expo 2012? What did you think?

I will definitely be going again next year. I'm going to start saving my pennies in my piggy bank now :) There were so many gorgeous items I would love to acquire next year. Prices varied significantly from stall to stall, many were quite pricey (for a student budget anyway) but I did see the occasional bargain!

July/August 2012 Favourites

Hi everyone,

What's that you say...."July Favourites? But it's well into August!?"

I know - this month has been crazy busy and all I can say is "better late than never, right?". So I've decided to incorporate my July & August favourites as my August favourites is due in only a weeks time :) Hope you don't mind.

In July/August I continued my goal to simplify my beauty routine. Therefore, I haven't incorporated too many new products into my routine. I've been impressed with how my routine is working for me so far and I've enjoyed all the products included in my July/August 2012 Favourites. After receiving your feedback from last months 'June 2012 Favourites' you stated that a small paragraph about how the products work for me is preferred, so that's exactly what you are getting :)

As always let me know what your recommendations are for the months of July/August, and/or your experiences with any of these products. I always love to hear your opinions.

  July/August 2012 Favourites

       Makeup Products

• Rimmel 'Wake Me Up Foundation' in True Ivory

What can I say? I LOVE this foundation! At first I was dubious when I read its slogan of 'radiant glow', my mind immediately thought "grease-factory!'. I have combination/oily skin but I find this foundation provides fantastic oil-free medium to build-able high coverage, especially when set with a powder around the t-zone. I have a feeling this will be a definite repurchase item in my collection.

• John Galliano 'Parlez-moi d-Amour' perfume

'Excuse me, my love' has clear and intense blueberry notes with juicy mandarin and sweet raspberry. Heart notes of jasmine and rose, enriched with lavender, and a base of patchouli and vetiver softened with vanilla. I enjoy this perfume - it's one of those you can just pump a few spritzers onto your wrists (or where ever you put it) and run out the door. Also, how adorable is the packaging? An envelope, love it!

• Essie 'Sand Tropez' nail polish

You may recognise these Essie nail polishes from my recent 'Essie Nail Polish Haul + Haul' I featured in a post a few weeks ago. You can see this post with swatches HERE . Sand Tropez is described as a soft sandy beige and that's exactly what you get. In some lights is comes off as a grey taupe too!

• Essie '3-way glaze'

I've found the 3-way glaze works really well with both Essie and other brand name nail polishes. It provides great cover as a base coat and also gloss for a top coat. It usually makes my nail polish last about 4-6 days with NO CHIPPING! Amazing!

• MAC ' eye shadow in 'Shimmermoss'

I've been loving this colour in July/August! This shadow is a Veluxe Pearl and offers highly pigmented payoff. I mostly use it as a pop of colour on the inner corner and lower lash line. Great pigmentation and brightens up the eye area significantly. Here's my birthday makeup look I used a few weeks ago for my night out with friends!

• elf 'Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder'

This product has been in my monthly favorites before, and for good reason. A fantastic little compact to take with you in your handbag as it has both a contour and cheek blush + big mirror for application. In my opinion both colours are very reminiscent of NARS 'Laguna' (brown contour) and NARS 'Orgasm' (peachy-pink blush). It is available for only AUD$9.99 from the elf website - check it out!

• LUSH 'It Started With A Kiss' Lip Tint

Although I love this colour and the bright cherry red colour it offers, I'm a bit sad that my lip tint is drying out. I bought this cute little tin from LUSH back in January - so I guess I have had a good 7 months use. Apart from that I'm still using this product and every time I do I am impressed with its staying power and yummy scent.

• Sigma 'Eye Shading E55 Brush'

This is BY FAR my favourite eye shadow tool by Sigma! It's size is perfect to cover the eyelid area without to much fuss. It is super soft and gentle on the eye area. Winner!

• Sigma 'Blending E25 Shader Brush'

The Sigma Blending E25 brush is my second favourite, I use it every day to blend out my crease colour. Again, I find the Sigma range of eye makeup brushes to be the best I've tried to date. I think I will be using these Sigma brushes forever! :)

• elf eyelash curler

I bought this eyelash curler in February after retiring one that I had used for too many years to count. It works well and does the job that is needed.

• Revlon Lip Butter 'Candy Apple'

As you might know I'm loving the Revlon Lip Butters - having about 6 colours in my collection. After 'Berry Smoothie' and 'Lollipop' (pinks) this is my favourite (red) from the colour selection. They provide a suprising amount of colour to the lips and give that 'juicy' look to lips. Even though we are approaching the end of  winter (thankfully) I have still been fighting the 'chapped-lips-demon' that looms in the chillier months. Although you may have to reapply every few hours depending if you're eating/drinking, the Lip Butters keep my lips in great condition. 

• Maybelline Baby Lips 'Peppermint'

I love anything minty and this lip balm sure gives that minty punch! I really do adore the cute packaging of the Maybelling Baby Lips range! It feels sturdy and makes that reassuring click-to-close sound so you know it's not going to get damaged if you carry it in your handbag like I do. 

 Hair / Body Products

• TRESemme 'Heat Tamer Protective Spray'

I have to admit I am guilty of sometimes neglecting this step in my daily hair care routine, but not anymore! I've been using this product for about 8 weeks now and I can notice that my hair is stronger and thicker at the ends - where breakage would normally occur. I put this down to not using as much heat styling tools and of course, this product. It smells divine and is a pleasure to spritz onto my hair.

• L'Oreal Paris 'Elnett Satin - Normal Strength'

I love the light-weight feeling of this hairspray. It almost gives a volumising feeling to my hair, nothing like the traditional helmet feeling that hairspray sometimes leaves. I'm a big fan of the Elnett range of hair sprays, and I would definitely repurchase.

• EVO 'the great hydrator moisture mask'

First of all, I love the feeling this brand brings to its user. Just read the little blurb written on the packaging:

'this product is like a patient friend, gently combing out the knots in 

your hair with a thousand strokes of a brush while another friend 

lays petals upon the ground to soften your walk to the morning bus.'

This product smells fantastic - slightly floral with a hint of that 'baby powder' scent. Works like a dream, in fact I think it is the best hair mask I've used. Better yet, this product is Australian made & owned. I'm sold!

• Nivea 'Rich Nourishing Body Moisturiser - Dry Skin'

I enjoy using this moisturiser on my legs in winter. I hate having dry skin and I'm quickly becoming a bit of a moisturiser addict. In my opinion, it does give a slightly greasy (I hate to use that word) feeling to my legs after use. Normally I would loathe this anywhere else but on my legs I actually quite like it.  

• The Body Shop 'Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream'

This little gem featured in my 'May 2012 Favourites' which can been seen HERE . This is a light daily moisturiser which is great for oil control, and leaves a fresh feeling to the skin. 

• Le Tan 'Daily Glow Moisturising Body Lotion - with SPF15'

I started using this product last year for a gradual natural looking tan and that's exactly what it gives. It smells delicious - like cocoa butter/chocolate. It takes me around 3-5 day of application to see a notable tan developing - like it states,  it is gradual. Works great as an overall body moisturiser as well, its very moisturising.

• Dr Lewinn's 'Hand & Nail Cream'

I use this to moisturise my hands every night before bed (as a part of my nightly 'grandma' routine) It's very nourishing and non-greasy to touch. It has a pleasant floral scent. I will be sad when I finish this product.

• Garnier 'Invisi Mineral Deodorant' 

I just finished this product and would definitely repurchase. First of all, I love the packaging! It has a slight but not overpowering floral scent, and doesn't leave white marks. I don't know about '48hr non-stop protection' though, who wears deodorant this long?! Good product, try this one.

• LUSH 'It's Raining Men' Shower Gel/Shampoo

Honey honey honey! This month I've been using it as both a body wash and a shampoo for those days I want to add extra shine to my hair and also switch up my shampoo. If you haven't tried this product, please go into your nearest LUSH and at least give it a sniff. It's heavenly! 

What are your favourite products for July/August?

Feel free to comment below and if you would like please leave a link to your 'favourites' style posts!

Also, I just wanted to note and apologise for the pictures in this blog post. I have been playing with camera settings recently and realise these pictures aren't the best quality. Sorry, it's a work in progress, like most things in life! :)


Have a beautiful day!

Who is she? Can you help her? Name the Adelaide Beauty Conference mascot! [Competition Entry]

Hello everyone,

The Adelaide 2012 Beauty Conference (ABC) is almost upon us!

This year, ABC has taken on the theme Australian born and bred: Supporting our local beauty industry. 

I have been lucky enough to be invited to this year's conference. Audible screams of joy were heard by all those around when the invite graced my inbox last week. I'm so overjoyed to be meeting all the lovely people who are attending this year, and network with fellow Adelaide bloggers. It will be my first ABC and I am beyond excited! Limited spots were available for the conference this year so I'm grateful to be one of the lucky ladies in attendance. 

Registrations for the 2012 ABC have now closed and invites sent to attendees. If you would like to read more about the wonderful team behind the Adelaide Beauty Conference (ABC) and what is happening in the Adelaide blogging scene here is the link the ABC website! 

As a component of this year's Adelaide Beauty Conference, they are running a competition to name the ABC's mascot. Therefore, I thought why not try my hand at helping name this mysterious mascot madame.

Below is my entry. Have a read and let me know what you think. Fingers crossed!

****************************************

THE DILEMMA...................................

The ABC's mascot has forgotten her name! She doesn't even know how she ended up at the Adelaide Beauty Conference! Can you help her remember her identity?

Who is she?

                What is her name?

                                    Can you help her?

Let me introduce.........

*******      Matilda Mae Kup      *******

Natural beauty by day, beauty obsessed blogger by night.

Matilda lives along Adelaide's picturesque coastline. A true blue Aussie surfer girl with a penchant for all things beauty and beautiful. Always sunny and optimistic Matilda loves the limelight but would never steal the show from under you!

Matilda can often be spotted riding the tram to Glenelg's beaches, sipping a latte in North Adelaide cafe's, shopping in Rundle Mall with friends, and even chowing down on some traditional German fare at Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills. 

Never vain, yet always vivacious Matilda appreciates her natural beauty, freckles and all! Matilda believes inner beauty shines brightest through personality, with makeup only enhancing beauty, individuality, and confidence.

Beginning her blog was a natural progression for Matilda. Artistic flair for the written word, art, colour, and transforming the ordinary into extraordinary is her passion! Novice to natural born beauty blogger, Matilda has met many creative bloggers who give her growing confidence with their kind words of encouragement.

Honey brown curls tousle upon her shoulders, glowing cheekbones frame her face, almond shaped hazel eyes sparkle and disarm her audience. Her lips ever ready to curve into a welcoming smile, Matilda has the inner beauty to match her flair for makeup mastery.

creative. humble. fun-loving. caring. passionate.

These are the qualities of Matilda Mae Kup!

I have to admit apart from the occasional impulse buy I try and purchase my beauty products on special when possible (3 for 2 etc).

It's my birthday! Another year the wiser.

Hi everyone,

Yesterday was my twenty-something-and-a-little-bit-more birthday!

"With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come." 

- William Shakespeare

I was up at the break of dawn on my birthday (very out of character for me, being the night owl that I am). I was savoring every moment of the beautifully sunny and blue sky day we were having. I also ordered a sneaky little beauty related birthday present for myself last week and it arrived in the post today! What a special birthday surprise!

What are your favourite gifts to get on your birthday?

Take care of yourself & enjoy your day where ever you are in the world!

Essie Nail Polish Haul + Swatches

Hello everyone,

Recently one sunny Saturday afternoon I headed into Myer to have a look at what I could buy with a Myer Giftcard that was soon to expire. I wanted to take full advantage of the End of Financial Year sales so I had deliberatly left it to the last minute. Along with two amazing new pairs of vibrantly coloured bras I also ended up at the Essie stands (of course). Then out of the corner of my eye I saw big baskets of heavily reduced makeup/polish, and what did you know - I found ESSIE!

After at least a good 15-20 minutes of trying to decide which polishes to choose I ended up buying:

• Essie 'Tie The Knot' (640)            RRP= 18.95 AUD   I got it for = $9.45   AUD
• Essie 'Sand Tropez' (745)             RRP= 18.95 AUD   I got it for = $10.00 AUD
• Essie 'Spaghetti Strap' (560)         RRP= 18.95 AUD   I got it for = $9.45   AUD
• Essie 'Mint Candy Apple' (702)      RRP= 18.95 AUD   I got it for = $13.26 AUD
• Essie 'Knockout Pout' (723)          RRP= 18.95 AUD   I got it for = $10.00 AUD
• Essie 'Sexy Divide' (666)              RRP= 18.95 AUD   I got it for = $9.45   AUD 

• Essie '3-Way Glaze' (6023)           RRP= 18.95 AUD   I got it for = FREE
• Essie 'Top Coat' (6020)                RRP=18.95 AUD    I got it for = FREE

TOTAL SAVING OF = $89.99 AUD   (including FREE items)

L-R: Tie The Knot, Sand Tropez, Spaghetti Strap, Mint Candy Apple.

Essie 'Tie The Knot' (taken with no flash) (x3 coats)

"Pale and pretty buff" 

Essie 'Sand Tropez' (taken with no flash) (x3 coats)

"A soft sandy beige"

Aren't they just darling?

Essie 'Spaghetti Strap' (taken with no flash) (x3 coats)

"A sheer pink peony"

Essie 'Mint Candy Apple' (taken with no flash) (x3 coats)

"Creme de menthe mint"

L-R: Essie 'Knockout Pout' & Essie 'Sexy Divide'

Essie 'Knockout Pout'. It's much more vibrant in person. (taken with no flash) (x3 coats)

"Hot supercharged pink"

Essie 'Sexy Divide' (taken with no flash) (x3 coats)

"A bold deep purple with hints of shimmer"

Essie 'Top Coat' & Essie '3-Way Glaze'

There is nothing prettier than Essie in a teacup :) You can see the purple effect in 'Sexy Divide' (flash used)

 What is Essie's secret to its success?

“The polishes satisfy two needs,” says Essie. “They’re classic yet fashionable. You can be a little bit more daring on some days, or more elegant on others. But the beauty is, no matter which color you choose, if your nails are done, your look is finished. It pulls everything together.”

What are your thoughts on Essie polishes? How do they compare with other higher price polishes on the market? Are they worth the hype?

Have a beautiful week!

100 Subscribers - THANKYOU from me to you!

Hello everyone,

This is a special post to thank each and everyone one of you! 

Over the weekend I noticed that I had reached 100 beautiful subscribers! When I began this blog in November last year I felt like an absolute novice and honestly quite daunted by all the wonderful blogs that I would visit and read each day. I was unsure that people would even want to read what I wrote. But, one thing that I have discovered is that people in the blogging community are those special gems in society!

I appreciate each comment and kind word, (I read them all) and they honestly make me smile. I've found blogging is a great way to feel connected with other like minded people whether it be in Australia or worldwide. It’s bizarre how I feel like I know some of you when we’ve never even met. So, thank you for reading what I write and interacting with my blog, it makes my heart happy!

A very special thank you to those who have nominated me for awards – they certainly lifted me up and kept me going. The first award I received was the One Lovely Blog Award from Nadya at Beauty Is Effortless . The Versatile Blogger Award by Carmen at La Makeup Posa . Then the Liebster Blog Awards from Lauren who blogs at Lauren's MAC Affair and Victoria from The Little Fogey. Love you girls! x

A BIG THANK YOU you to all you lovely subscribers and readers who have encouraged and supported me on my journey

It would be great to hear from you! :)

Wishlist Wednesday #2

Hi everyone,

I'm at it again! Lusting after many many more products that I know I shouldn't desire, but do ;)

The much hyped Maybellline Baby Lips range

 I've read a lot about these little babies, some raving as to their amazing moisturising powers and delicious scents. Maybelline writes;

 "Lip renew formula and 8-hr hydration for visibly renewed lips in 4 weeks. Clinical care for baby-soft lips."

They come in the scents; Peach Kiss, Grapevine, Peppermint, Pink Punch, Quenched, Cherry Me (as pictured above).

I'm personally attracted to the cutesy and bright packaging and I have to admit I'm also one of those people who love scented makeup products. Therefore, I may have caved and bought one of these a few weeks ago, expecting it in the post any day now :)

The Physician's Formula Happy Booster, Glow & Mood Boosting Blush in Rose. It is described as an:

"Ultra-soft and blendable blushing powder with a fresh and vibrant mix of blushing tones infused with a pop of color to create a healthy glow. Featuring Happy Skin and Euphoryl, natural plant extracts which have been shown to promote a feeling of happiness by mimicking the effect of Endorphins and helping protect the skin from environmental stress.The sweet scent of Violet provides a feeling of joy each time you apply."

I'm not sure how believable the above statement is but again I am drawn the the stunning packaging of this blusher and love the fact that you can create numerous looks from the one compact.

Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Makeup

As you guys might know I am a great fan of the original Colorstay, it's one of my holy grail product!

Revlon writes:

"Finally, truly decadent makeup offers ultimate performance. The mousse-like texture feels like silk on your skin. And, the time release formula balances skin for a flawless look. All day flexible wear without flaking, caking or feeling heavy." 

Essie nail polish in 723 Knockout Pout 

I admit I have a weakness for Essie nail polishes, initially owning 3 in my collection. Recently, I was in Myers with a gift card that was due to expire when I saw a clearance table of Essie polishes. Once I started picking up colours that appealed to me I realised that I needed to rescue as many as possible and give them a good home. Over a few weeks and 2 trips to Myers I ended up with 6 colours :) and even better the ladies working at the beauty counter gave me two freebies with my purchase. I will blog about this in a Essie Haul soon.

BOURJOIS Magic Nail Polish Remover

Again, I'm lured into the much hyped products that come onto the market. A "1 second nail polish remover!" Say whaaaaat?! I know it may seem silly but I really want to try this product, again sweet packaging and also the plus of convenience for travelling.  In the winter time I often find that I paint my nails more regularly, at least 1-2 times a week. Now, with this little gem the task of nail polish removal (my most loathed beauty task) will be even easier! Done :) I haven't seen this in my local Priceline yet but I saw it available on ASOS last week at a great price of $8 or so.

What's on your Wishlist Wednesday? Or any day of the week :)


Have a beautiful day!
