Help .... I appear to be a Clinique addict!

Holla! 


How was the weekend for everyone!? 


Mine once again was non eventful... although I did a lot of girlie crap that I love. I don't know about you, but guys just don't understand! I mentioned to a guy friend that on Saturday night I was doing nothing except painting my nails and watching a chick flick. His response, don't you think you would have just as much fun going out. Well when its cold and wintry it just isn't that enticing! But he does have a point! 


I caught up with Jkats and Jlo on Saturday arvo.... i think Jlo is all of 4 months. As Jkats went to get our coffee I was in charge of keeping Jlo entertained, and I resorted to this horrific baby talk. It is quite clear I have very little experience with interacting with the younger folk! hehe.... Anyway this family turned around to me ( I'm hoping cause Jlo is mega cute not the fact that i was speaking like an imbecile) and the lady said to me "Someones getting clucky"! Far out am I giving out the clucky vibes! Jkats is the bestest... i miss seeing her so often! 


I woke up this morning feeling horrific.... looked in the mirror and looks like I've been punched out! The dreaded winter cold is upon me! Could explain Mez and I's lack luster adventure through the city on Friday night. We were both clearly exhausted, and getting to that point where you cant be bothered conversing anymore. I really wanted to get a winter hat but I feel my noggin is just too damn big! ahh well... i probably didn't search too hard if I only hung around DJ's most of the time! 


The previous Friday night Mez and I were going great guns, we scampered around the shops for hours and decluttered a few racks hehe... Here are a couple of things I have bought ..... 

Last Friday I bought this Clinique 'take the day off' make up remover. Usually I use the lotion in the bottle to take all my make up off. Apparently the lady said its not really for your whole face. However my skin gets really sensitive so when something works I just run with it. Instead this time I bought the pot that looks rather paste like. So when you apply it on your face it becomes the consistency of the lotion. I don't know, it feels rather the same product just in the same form but a whole lot messier. 

I am so sceptical about the whole industry as they say anything and we eat it up like its gospel! I am in the market for a new moisturiser ... what do you use? What products would you say to avoid? There is a whole other world out there apart from Clinique... i need to let go! 

So if you follow me on Insta you would be well aware I love a good nail polish! So I thought I would try Salon Effects nail strips by Sally Hansen. I noticed they are all the rage hehe... However I just don't know .. 

I found them a little annoying to stick on, and I had to keep reshaping them all because obviously I have non standard nail size! I think I made a wrong choice, I don't like this look at all! I think that if you got a brighter colour or design, and then applied a top coat it would be a winner ... especially if you are time poor as there is no dry time and they apparently last for a week or so. 

Instead I thought I would finally apply to my nails OPI Alpine Snow from my last Ozsale haul. I have never been 100% with white nail polish because I think it makes you look like you have come second place to a bottle of white out! 

Not that you can tell but I applied Pirouette my Whistle over the top to break up the bright white look. It made a difference ... probably because I love Pirouette my Whistle.. unfortunately the camera didn't really bring it out so much. 

I would love to know your favourite skin care brands? Cheap or Expensive .. what has worked for you? 

PS - As I am new to this whole Blogging world I am kind of slow with the take up of following you all! My computer is so slow so after I blog I just give up.... maybe this is a good excuse to upgrade to a nice new laptop :)
