Christmas Gift Guide For Guys

Okay this is something I find incredible hard! Whether I am shopping for my Dad, my Brother, my Boyfriend or just my guy friends. Guys always seem to have everything and they never tell you what they want, and I hate giving them gifts such as an Itunes voucher because it seems so thoughtless. So I have accumulated a few ideas that may help you girl when it comes to what to get a man/boy in your life.

1. A Watch and My favourite brand is the ICE WATCH!

These come in all sorts of colours and sizes and they are very cool. This is the gift I got for my boyfriend this year and he loves it. They also come in very cool packaging that can be turned into a storage device.
2. A Army Swiss Knife 

These are every guys dream and is actually what I am getting my brother for Christmas as well! They are very cool and come with many different gadgets, depending on the price. This is a risky option though because many guys know the exact one they want, so you may need to ask them before you buy it. And also if you are giving it to a younger person make sure there parents are okay with it. \

3. For the older men in you life such as a Dad or an Uncle, you can get them a nice pair of cuffs. Cuffs are a very easy present for a business man that wears a shirt, but it is also nice for a man to have for when he needs them.
I really like these once from Alta Linea (found in David Jones).

4. Video Games, now this present is a great one for me because well I am a nerd myself and Yes I am addicted to video Games, I know its sad but, I have always loved them. But I have picked my top 3 and they are:

1. BattleField 3
2. Fifa 12
3. Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 3 
But make sure you get the right disc for the right machine, so if he has a playstation or an xbox.

5. A Cologne you can't go wrong with, every guy like Cologne, but I also feel this is more of a personal gift so maybe this is something you give to a brother, boyfriend or really close guy friend. My two favourite guy cologne at the moment are;

Armani Code by Giorgi Armani

Intimately Beckham

I hope this helped some of you and if you have anymore suggestions, please leave them in the comments below because I would love to get some good ideas for next year :)

My Christmas Wish List

This is my Christmas list for this year, I thought I would do a blog post about it because I love reading about what people want for Christmas and it sometimes gives me good ideas about what I want to get friends or family for Christmas or sometimes I add it to my Christmas list.
For Christmas I would love a jewellery Mirror for my room, because this year I am redecorating it.
This one is just like the one I want. The only thing is that I would have to accumulate a few more piece of jewellery to fill it up. This would go in the corner of my room and just add neatness to my room.

A few other things I would like are

DNKY Be Delicious Perfume because it smell amazing and I think that perfumes are amazing gifts for Christmas. I have had my eye on this perfume for a while and I also love the bottle.


Another thing I would love for Christmas is $100 to be donated to the MS charity in my name. I know presents are special and exciting to open but I would much rather the money to be donated to a charity. I support the MS charity because sadly my father suffers from it and I know how much pain he is in and bye supporting this charity I feel like I am doing my part to help him get better.

Where have I been

Hey everyone
I am so sorry I have been a bit M.I.A lately!
I have been caught up in so many things such as sport, exam and assignments, but I am back and I am going to be blogging a lot more than ever before :)
So please don't forget to follow :)
Thanks everyone xx

Spring Trend - Coral Lips

Many celebrities have been wearing this lip and we have been seeing it in a lot of spring catwalk shows. 

Yes Spring is finally on its way, that means tans, beach and spring fashion. Sorry for all those people that live in another country and spring has just passed but here in Australia we are heading into spring!!

For this Spring one of the biggest trends is coral/orange lips. Know this may sound scary but you can also tone down and just go for a more of a peach lip, but I personally think this colour lips looks beautiful against tanned skin!


These are my top 3 coral lip products:
1. Mac cosmetics lipstick in Ravishing. 

This is a beautiful coral lipstick, it is a creme-sheen finish therefore it is really soft and moisturising for the lips. 
2. Mac cosmetics Dazzle glass in Smile.

This lipgloss is for someone who truly loves shimmer and sparkle. This lip gloss has a beautiful coral colour and looks stunning on the lips because of the pink shimmer. 
3. Revlon Super Lustrous lipgloss in Coral Reef 
I love this lipgloss because it is pigmented enough to wear on its own and still look amazing! 
Top - Revlon lipgloss, Mac dazzle glass, Mac lipstick!

July Favourites :)

I would First like to say, where has July gone!!!! It feels like only yesterday my sister ran up to me singing "a pinch and a punch for the first day of the month!"
But anyway in July I discovered a few makeup items, some low-end and some high-end.

1. Maybelline Color Sensational in 035 Pink Peony

I Love the consistency of the Maybelline lipsticks because they glide on so smoothly!!
I also love the colour of this lipstick because it is the perfect dark pink to warm up your face for spring!
I also love that is has shimmer in it because you don't have to put a gloss over it because your lips already look like they have lipgloss on them.

2. Loreal Volume Million Lashes

This mascara is my new favourite volumizing mascara! It also does not clump because it has a special whipper that whips any extra mascara off the brush when you pull it out! There is nothing special about the brush but somehow it makes my lashes look amazing!! It also makes them super black!!

3. Nars Blush in Orgasm


I know the name is slightly odd but I have been loving this blush because it gives the perfect flush of colour to your cheeks. It is a pinky blush with golden undertones and looks great on most skin tones! What I also love abut this product is it has a mirror which is great for close ups.

4. Ganier Anti-Dark Circles Roll On

This is the perfect under-eye concealer because it not only hides you dark circles, because it has a yellowy tint to it which counteracts the blue under your eyes, it also de-puffs them and gets rid of any bags. It has a little roller ball that you roll along your under eyes and then you blend in the concealer and  bang you look like you have got 12 hours sleep :)


5. Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle

This is the perfect highlight colour for winter or the colder months because it gives just the right amount of shimmer and shine. If you are wondering what a highlighting product does it enhances you features on your face and if you put it on the tops of you cheeks it gives them a natural and healthy glow.
So this Mac powder does just the trick.


6. Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush

This is one of the best dry shampoos I have tried because it takes away any oils in your hair while leaving you hair smelling lovely! It does come out white so it may not work as well on darker haired people but it is quite cheap so it is worth tying.

My New Obsession!

I am in love with my new perfume that I got for my birthday.
And it is the ......
VERA WANG PRINCESS!!

This Perfume is always talked about on YouTube and on blogs. It is very popular and there is a good reason for that.
The first thing that caught my attention to this perfume is the bottle. At first I had no idea how it would stand up because it was shaped like a love heart! But then when I looked at it I realised that the bottle extended outwards towards the back creating a stand. I also love the crown on top because it makes you feel special when you wear it, it makes you feel like a Princess.

Anyways now onto the actual product itself. The perfume is a baby purple colour, and it smells amazing and I am not exaggerating!! It is a fruity smell and is quite sweet, the notes are apple, citrus and apricot with a few hints of vanilla and chocolate! YUM!
This perfume I wear during the day because it is light and very girly and feminine. It is has great staying power so you do not need to keep topping up though out the day.
I really do recommend this perfume, so don't forget to put it on your birthday or christmas list!!

Always Use Heat Protectant On You Hair!!

We all like to straighten, curl and blow dry our hair.
But this does nothing good for your hair!!!
The heat will create split ends it will also make your hair very dry and brittle!
But heat protectants will take that harsh heat off your hair and keep it soft.
Sadly it is very hard to find a good cheap hair protectant that does not weigh your hair down and actually protect your hair from the heat!
But TRESemme has a HEAT TAMER PROTECTIVE SPRAY that is amazing!
Many people speak about this product and there is a reason for that!
It does not weigh your hair down and protects it from any heat!
You can use it before you blow-dry your hair, before you straighten or curl!
And the best thing about it is because that at price line it is only $8.50!!!!! This is amazing price for this product!!!!
Please do not miss out this step in your hair care routine because healthy hair is so much easier to style and look after when you use a heat protectant!
