Leg Make Up, Flawless Legs by Le Tan
I picked this up the other day admittedly because it was the cheaper option. But who has never used that justification before? The good news is it doesn't disappoint.
Flawless Legs by Le Tan has been a great buy for me, it as lasted all day and hasn't transferred onto my black skirt, and given my pale as snow legs a great colour with subtle shimmer. In fact I had to get up close to see any sparkle at all, making it perfect for everyone who isn't a teenager!
It comes in two colours, and I was a little apprehensive about giving even the paler shade a try as it just seemed too dark, but it has been quite a lovely colour all day without being orange at all.
The best technique to use to apply the product is to give the can a good shake, the spray onto your palms before rubbing your hands together and then rubbing onto your legs (or other exposed body parts, don't let the word legs in the name fool you!)
Would I buy it again? You betcha!

Bought! Typo Haul
Christmas is less then two months away, confronting much? This year has utterly flown by like so many of them do and we're already gearing up for a great holiday period.
Hey... I know I may be early in some peoples eyes but at least my decorations didn't go up at the start of September *coughDavidJonescough*.
So I've been off to stalk my favourite gift shop, Typo, and picked up a few early presents, but also check out these cute as ornaments I got for my tree!
Also bought these little gift tags, I never seem to have any when I want some.
So now if everyone could just tell me what they want for Christmas without actually telling me, I'd love you.

Eyebrow Threading at Winkbar
Have been reading about this technique for a while now and thought I'd give it a try, a bar opened up at Carindale recently, Perfect opportunity!
I've been a little lazy with my eyebrows lately so I had a really good base for my beautician to work from. I just haven't had the time lately.
My eyebrows are nicely shaped after a ten minute session but I have to warn you, the pain factor is quite high, eye watering in fact. That would would probably be the only real negative though, I found my girl's work to be very accurate. They also have a frequent customer reward program with every sixth session free.
All in all, it's a good option over waxing because it doesn't strip the skin the way that wax does (as the only thing the threads grab hold of is the hair, not the skin as well.) After years of waxing your skin can get weak and crêpey, not the look we should be going for at all.
Just make sure you bring your sunnies to cover up the redness!

Book Review: Minxy Vintage by Kelly Doust
Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly Doust, and she is every bit as lovely as you'd hope she'd be in real life. She has been doing the rounds lately signing copies of her latest book Minxy Vintage and yesterday I bought and had my copy signed. <3
The book itself is awesome, brimming with ideas on how to restore and transform items you would see in a thrift or vintage shop. Items that a less discerning eye would pass up she takes and applies a few tricks and ideas to make them into something totally wearable and completely unique.
It was also quite a long read, not something you could pick up and chew through in an afternoon, this is a great thing to me, as not only is it a very pretty book, it's full of care tips for all of the items in your wardrobe.
Kelly takes your hand and walks you through various items she has transformed in her wardrobe, using different techniques such as dying, and embellishing to create new items. One of my personal favourites featured being the union jack denim jacket, I would steal it if I could.
Now if only the thrift stores were open on a Sunday, I want to go shopping!
