AOC In The Nude Nail Polish

Have you heard of the brand Academy of Colour? I haven’t so when I saw this nail polish quartet set in Kmart, it went straight to my basket. I saw this before Christmas and thought it would have been a great stocking filler or secret santa present.

This AOC In the Nude nail polish set comes with four shades of nail polishes.  If you want to see some swatches and my initial review, continue below.

Makeup Sale Haul

I’m back with a beauty haul which I got a while ago from one of the Big Bucket deals. I always like checking the sale out when they’re in town because I never know what I’d find.

I know I don’t need any more makeup but I love trying new things and getting them on sale makes me feel a little big better about my purchase.

To see all the beauty things I got, click below.

Nails: Essie e-nuf is e-nuf

I’ve only recently gotten into Essie nail polishes. I’ve known the brand for a long time but I never purchased one because of the price. They’re not the cheapest out there and I tend to gravitate towards inexpensive polishes because I never finish them and they dry out anyway.

However, I couldn’t resist picking up this Essie nail polish in e-nuf is e-nuf. This nail polish is so bright which is perfect for the upcoming summer months.

Love Pink

I have always been a girly girl and pink has been my favourite colour for as long as I can remember. I don’t have a lot of pink clothing but I have an abundance of the colour in other forms. I’ve always been attracted to it and it’s a happy colour for me.

I thought I’d share with you my current favourite pink items in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness. If you didn’t know, October is Breast Cancer Month so there are a lot of fundraising and pink-themed events going on to help raise awareness and money to breast cancer through the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation.

NZFW Goodies

I watched a few shows during NZ Fashion week but I only managed to get a goodie bag during the Resene Designer Selection Show. The photos from that is coming in a few days but to break up all NZFW runway photos, I thought I’d post a haul of my NZFW goodies.

The Resene Designer Selection show was basically on every day during NZFW and it features a bunch of designers and a few clothes from their collections. I wasn’t able to get in backstage which pissed me off so I watched the show in front row instead. Also in spite, I got two goodie bags!

So if you’re like me who’s always interested on what’s inside goodie bags at events then check out the rest of this post.

The Perfect Match

For the past month, I have been loving these two products. In my April favourites, I’ve included the MAC lipstick in Craving. That has remained a favourite but what I didn’t expect is to find a great nail polish match for it.

They don’t appear close to colour in the photo above but in real life, they are. I am obsessed with this combination and I know these two are going to be my long time loves.

See below for more photos and swatches.
