Playlist | Warm Chills

Warm Chills from aroseandapeony on 8tracks Radio.

The cold seems to be settling down here in Brisbane. Nights are chilly and best spent with tea and blankets. These are the current tunes warming my heart and soul when nothing can warm my toes and nose. 

Happy Wednesday!

Skin | Winter Hand Cream Essentials

Winter means a lot of things but one of the least favourable is dry skin. The skin on my hands is dry and damaged at the best of times (no matter what product I use) but winter is particularly bad. I have purchased and tried a lot of different hand creams in my life and have put a collection of what I think to be the best of the bunch. Some are on the the go at the moment and some are definitely on my list of options when purchasing more. 

Winter Essentials | Purple Lipstick

 Top to Bottom: Revlon Matte Balm in 'Shameless' MUA Luxe Velvet Lips in 'Kooky' Sleek Matte Me in 'Fandango Purple'

Hi lovelies! So whilst referring to a shade of lipstick as essential is a little extreme, I am really loving a purple lip in the cooler weather. It makes for a nice alternative to deep reds. I also like the range of variety you can get. 

OOTD | Evil Twin

 Dress Evil Twin via DollsKill / Leather Jacket Charlie Brown / Choker eBay / Shoes UNIF Grail Platforms

Hi lovelies! This is a dress that I bought absolutely ages ago from DollsKill. Although I've worn it loads, it just never got around to being photographed. This is just such an easy dress to wear. It's completely sheer so for a bit of modesty I wear mine with a slip underneath.

The Wish List | For The Face #2

It has been a while since I last did a wish list and, being a cosmetic and skincare addict, I have come to lust after many more products. The first is a skincare product and the rest are makeup for the eyes; my favourite and most hoarded products. Sadly, most of the products are hard to come by in Australia or at least at a reasonable price (shipping to this continent can be a massive bitch). 


Aloe Protective Serum by The Body Shop

I saw Estée from Essie Button put this product in her January Favourites a few months back and have wanted to try it since. Currently, I use Hydraluron by Indeed Laboratories as a moisture booster between cleansing and moisturising. I love the concept and it works really effectively but am keen to try other companies attempts. Having not purchased a lot from The Body Shop before I like to look to a self-confessed addict before considering their products. 

Ideally, I've been searching for a slightly more affordable product but I don't think that will ever come to fruition. At under $30 for a product used to sparingly, I think this will enter my bathroom cabinet in the coming weeks as my Hydraluron runs out. 

Recipe | Sweet Potato Fries

Hi lovelies! So just because I don't think I've mentioned it enough in recent posts I am currently in the midst of university exams. As a result everything I've been cooking has been really quick and simple. These chunky sweet potato fries make a great side dish, or just to share with friends. 

OOTD | Dress in Denim

Denim Dress - vintage via Ra Ra Superstar / White STEREO Sandals - London Rebel / Bent Spoon Pendant - Noosa Antique Upcycle Artisan / Glasses - eBay / Gold Bangle - gift with unknown brand / Rose hair-clip - 

Blue denim is one of my favourite fabrics. It makes all kinds of clothes and I like to think I own a fair amount; shorts, jeans, chambray shirts, overalls and dresses (sadly, no jacket). I found this dress last weekend whilst rummaging through Ra Ra Superstar's court yard sale - see haul here.
