Christmas Shopping: Rings- Stocking Fillers !!

Hey dolls,

One of my favourite things to buy as stocking fillers are rings- its usually quite easy to pick someones size, but i figure if your buying for a friend, you should already know their size ?? But if you dont most rings like the ones pictured below are available in small, medium and large- so if in doubt go for medium !

I dont think any girl can have enough rings and i love that they can be so inexpensive. I just jumped onto the Colette website and found these rings, are all under $12 which is another reason why im obsessed with Colettte- they have such beautiful jewellery for such a bargain..

I cant pick a fave, i want them all. Thats not too much to ask for is it ? :)

Christmas Shopping: Nailpolish Stocking Fillers !!

Hey girls,

I cant look past the Muppet Holiday Collection by OPI for smaller Christmas gifts or for little stocking fillers- they are too cute and i love the glittery ones especially.. i want them all !!

Top Row: Fresh Frog of Bel Air, Divine Swine, Gettin' Miss Piggy With It

Bottom Row: Rainbow Connection, Excuse Moi, Gone Gonzo

I think im obsessed with the idea of Rainbow Connection and just havnt had the chance to run to my local beauty warehouse to pick it up, where i buy them for $11 as opposed to $20 in salons. Ive been so busy at work by night and then in bed all day- i had the routine ive got myself into !

Do you own any of the Muppet polishes ? Whats your fave ?

PS. Not long til Santa comes so get shopping !!! Anxiety attack begins now !

The Iconic

Hey guys,

It seems like its been forever ! I usually like to get all my blog ideas dealt with over the weekend so im prepared but i had such a busy weekend, i think its because we are in December already ! And ive just been so overwhelmed with work, ive been there everyday and its crazy cause theres so much to do and so much to learn with deadlines and its just all over the place, but ill be back as per usual this week..

Todays post will be on a new online store called The Iconic. It has all your fashion needs, from shoes and clothing including all your big brands for both men and women. Just to name a few brands as i look at the huge A-Z list, i see RMK, Bonbons, All About Eve, Bluejuice and Cooper St just to name a few.

My favourite things about this site would be that there is free shipping nationwide, there is a 30day refeund policy and you can contact them through either phone or email which i love.. not more than the sale section- i love love love that !

At the moment, there is a $20 off your christmas outfit coupon available, i know how important it is to spend your money wisely during christmas.. So get on there and have a browse around, ive already found what ill be purchasing !

These gorgeous heels have made my Christmas Day outfit :)

Im still browsing around to try and choose the rest of my outfit..

Let me know if you guys have a browse around and what you think- there is so much stuff up there, so get a good idea for Christmas pressies for both guys and girls.

Christmas Shopping: Napoleon Perdis !!

Hey everyone,

I love Napoleon products, ive been buying them for years and years since i found out about their products when i was about 15years old and would have to save all my money to buy a few things cause they were quite expensive.. And when their Xmas Range comes out, im the happiest girl alive, cause they always have such good themes.

Last year, i got the whole range on sale at 50% in the Boxing Day sales. However, i dont think ill be rushing out this year. This years Christmas 'Luxe' Collection is quite boring and bland and has a total of four products, in very neutral shades. I remember last years holiday collection being full of colour ! My favourite purchase was a pack with an eyeshdaow quad, blusher and bronzer and a lipgloss in a pack for about $69 (which was available in about 3 different colours and was soo worth the money).

This year the collection has 4 items, only two which i believe are worth our dollars.

I must give Napoleon credit for his glosses- i love love love them !! This is a really good deal, dont you just love a bargain !

This is a great idea for that person that always wears neutrals. For myself, i will personally stay as far away as possible from neutral eye palettes because i have a billion- bring on the brights !

The other two items of the range are a 4 piece synthetic hair brush set in a clutch bag for $69 which come in a travel size and the other gift set is priced at $99 and has a lipgloss, mascara and a body dust spray. I dunno about you guys, but these dont really tickle my fancy and i dont think theyre worth my money.

Will you be looking into these gifts for Christmas pressies ??

Christmas Shopping- MAC !!

Hey dolls,

Todays post is on MAC's Holiday Range for 2011, which im loving !! Ive picked out what i loved the most for a xmas gift and I also think that MAC has nailed it on the head this year with prices too !

Dazzlesphere Ornament in Coral

$65

Contains 4 glosses :)

Dazzlesphere Mini Nail Laquer

$65

Dazzlesphere Ornament in Pink

$65

Ill definately buying this one on Saturday when i hit the shops- my own little gift for me :)

Dazzlesphere Ornament in Berry

$65

The colours are beautiful !

Fabulously Festive Face Kit

$115

Such a bargain !

So tell me your thoughts on this one, i personally really like it ! It just reminds me of snow and Christmas (even though it doesnt snow in Australia, but i know you get me lol)

Even if you dont love the range, you could buy somebody a single item from MACs normal range, but your saving so much money by purchasing a gift pack. I love gift packs, i buy everything in a pack !

Will you be buying anything from MACs holiday range ?

PS. Completely off topic...Are you guys watching Gossip Girl Season 5- I love Chuck Bass !!!

Christmas Shopping: DVDs !!

Hey everyone,

Just another quick post of my favourite DVD's as Christmas presents- theyre obviously all my personal favourites and quite common choices which I think most people would like.

Im not a huge DVD person, but id rather buy a box set or start collecting a television series as opposed to buying an actual movie- I feel as though a series is better value and something you will watch more than a movie.. What do you guys think on this one ?

Sex and the City...

Must i say more ? Who isnt obsessed !

Gossip Girl...

 Its so easy to get lost in, so much bitchiness and fashion and a lifestyle that everyone would love a taste of !

How I Met Your Mother...

I love Barney !!

Glee...

Im secretly in love with Glee, but i have trouble admitting it haha

Entourage...

I hated this at first and then became addicted !

Friends...

I love it cause its such a classic and i could watch Friends episodes over and over and over and never get sick of them. Maybe cause theres like a billion seasons worth of episodes to pick from lol

One Tree Hill...

I watched so many episodes, but ive never sat down and actually watched a season. Something I really wanna invest in.

So there you are.. my DVD picks for Christmas gifts...

Feel free to add to my list in the comments below ! Would love to hear what you guys have to say !

Christmas Shopping: Benefit Cosmetics !!

Hey dolls,

I was just on the Myer website, looking for some Christmas pressies, cause im all about online shopping and point systems (i love the vouchers you can get from your Myer One card) and you have probably realised by now, that i have a thing for gift packs.

I love Christmas time ranges and special gift packs, exactly for that reason- gift packs ! Its value for your money because its a discounted price and alot of gift packs only come out for the holiday season, which is probably pointless to say cause im sure you all know that haha..  I usually buy alot of these gift packs for myself, especially when i catch them in the post xmas sales, i like to be stocked up because you never know when your going to need something :)

I had a browse through Myer's beauty counter gift sets and the only ones that i thought were worth the money, and as it turns out, all my picks were from Benefit. Im actually quite happy with what they have to offer this Christmas, because Benefit is quite pricey here for those of us in Australia.

Now I have to be honest in the fact that, im not exactly 100%sure that these are exclusive to the Christmas season, except for one of them, but lets just say regardless, they all make great Christmas pressies :)

Glossytown Lipglosses

$49

Is it just me or is this seriously cheap !?

Benefit Boxing Day Beauty

$99

I'm Glam, Therefore I am

$69

One word- CUTE ! This is probably my favourite item.

Finding Mr Bright

$45

Im pretty sure ive seen this before, so definatley not a Christmas item lol

I also forgot to mention, that Myer currently has free shipping so yayyyy for us !

Also, to everyone else outside of Australia, Im sure you can locate these gift packs at places like Sephora for just a fraction of the price lol

Lots of love

And the winner is ME !!... Blog Award Time :)

Hey girls,


Ive been awarded with a few blog awards lately, which is quite exciting, so here i am to pass on the three awards that have been so generously awarded to me..


The first one is the Liebster Blog Award, which was awarded to me from the lovely blog of  "Makeup & Things by Olgie Polgie". Her blog is awesome and one of the ones i always find myself scrolling through and always browsing around because she has a range of posts, including eye of the day posts, hauls and swatches. She just seems like such a sweetheart ! So thankyou again :)



The Liebster Blog Award is awarded to those with less than 300 followers and here are the rules:

- Copy and paste the award on your blog.

- Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you.

- Reveal your top 5 picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.

So here they are, I award this blog too...

• Pola Berrys Beauty Blog
• Bless this Mess
• Xtina Hayden: A beauty and fashion blog
• World According to Shia
• Arianne Cruz

Congratulations to these girls, because they all deserve it, with all their hard work they have put into their awesome blogs. Yayyyyyy !!!

Now onto the other blog awards that i have recieved... They are the Kreativ Blogger Award and the Tell Me About Yourself Award, which were both awarded to me by Mursal at "Azizwa Zeba". Shes a new blogger who has some lovely fashion picks for winter at the moment and just opened her blog sale.

The simple rule the Tell Me About Yourself Award is to share seven things about yourself, and link back to the person who passed you this award!

Be sure to award 5 blogs and drop them a line about it.

7 Things About Suzie...

1. I wash my hair every day, even though my hair doesnt go oily straight away- but what else am i supposed to do in the shower if i dont wash my hair lol it just seems like the right thing to do.
2. I think there is no uglier sight in the world than feet !! I try to wear closed toe heels and flatties as much as i can because even the sight of my own feet make me sick !
3. I dont really like dressing up as much as most girls do- id rather wear a jumper and track pants whenever i can, which means i dont actually wear make up every day.
4. I dont really have a hobby, ive been in search for one for about two years now- i thought it was yoga until i actually started doing it and realised i was wrong- so any suggestions to help me find a hobby would be awesomeee !
5. I paint my nails almost every single day, the first chip in my nail means i have an anxiety attack and i have to paint them all over again, even if its the same colour.
6. Half of my clothes in my wardrobe still have their original swing tags on them.
7. I stopped buying textbooks for uni after my first year and i still managed to graduate !

I didnt actually realise how hard this actually was to try and pick seven facts about myself when you actually need to list them.

I award these two blog awards too...

• Makeup & Things by OlgiePolgie
• Me, My Best and I
• An Obsession with the Fabulous
• Beauty Down Under
• Dreaming of Verona

Congratulations dolls !

Until next time,

Love S xxx

Christmas Shopping: Everybody loves Lush !!

Hey guys,

Another Christmas post featuring the adorable gift packs available from Lush !! 

Gifts from Lush are perfect for that girl that loves natural products and appreciates all sorts of bath and body products- which lets be honest, its most girls right !!
