Tip of the day: Where to apply blush

So where have we all always been told to apply our blush to? The apples of our cheeks. We've been told to smile, and then apply blush to the fleshy part that juts out under our eyes right? Wrong actually.
You see, when you apply blush to that part of your face when you're smiling, it drops down your face as soon as you stop. The only time doing this will work for you is if you're always smiling (and that kinda hurts after a while).
So instead, smile first, to remind yourself of the area to apply blush to, then stop smiling and apply it to the skin that is there now, and blend up and out.

Tip of the day: More anti aging

I've been meaning to post this since the weather has started heating up, its a good tip that can be overlooked.
Everytime you go outside you should be wearing sunnies. Why? Because squinting will give you wrinkles, and the glasses will reduce the urge.
The hottest style this season to be looking out for are fifties style cat eyes, there are a lot of flattering styles out there at a range of prices, my best picks for a bargain are Sportsgirl and Jay Jays.
I'm not understanding the fugly odd looking glasses that are out now though, can't say they're appealing to me when you can look so much better in classier styles.

P.S still no internet, this is starting to really annoy me.

Loving this week: Alannah Hill Cardigan and Scarf

I have been neglecting my Alannah Hill obsession for a little while now in an effort to save money, but I thought it was high time to go down there to check out the summer range and gasp at all the pretty little details.
I have to have this cardigan. it doesn't matter that now in Brisbane it's too hot to wear it until next year, I will love it for years! I'm a complete sucker for a cute motif, and this one takes the cake. It also carries over to the back of the cardigan too. Bliss.

Care to play cardigan by Alannah Hill

Another item that caught my eye was this cute as scarf, yet again, it's Spring, in Brisbane so no wearing until next year sometime but I can't help it! Winter clothes are just so much nicer! Circle design so it's not just your normal see everywhere scarf, I can see it sitting on tank tops and coats alike.

Update

So we have an ETA on the internet being connected at the new place. Next Wednesday, sigh. Of course it's never as soon as you want it. But fear not, I have bought some gorgeous things I can't wait to show off, and have found some good topics to chat about so stay tuned, I'll be back in my full capacity very soon. Until then, please find me on twitter as birdettebuys, I'd love to have more followers!

Make up Storage

Phew! Well moving house has completely worn me out, and I'm only half unpacked! The cleaners are coming this afternoon to clean up the mess of the previous tenants (the walls are filthy among other things) so I can't unpack too much yet anyway. But I have been able to unpack my bathroom and find all my acrilic storage units.
I bought these from Priceline a while ago, and they are magnificent in small spaces, all your gear neat and organised, ready when you want them every day. Certainly something I would recommend.
I'll have to add pictures and links to this post when I get full size internet back, there's only so much you can do on a phone!
