Want a Hermes bag but can't afforded it ?? Try a Banane bag




Hermes bags have always been a fashion must have but at 10k+ a pop it beyond most of our budgets .. Unless we win lotto ..

Well a taiwanese brand called Banane has the answer it's 1/10th of the price and u can fulfill your fashion want. It comes in a range of colors and it's the new chic way to brighten your look.

In Asia you can get the bag initially around 250HKD -400HKD but after the frenzy the price sky rocketed. Thanks to an Asian actress who bulk ordered for her wedding as gift bags and everyone who was famous at the party who was famous made the bag the IT bag.
I ordered mine from Banane and they confirmed the priced was 250 usd each. Love the bag but it was a bit too much . BUT luck was on my side... family in Asia sent over the bags to me.. woohoo score!
 It hard not to go crazy and buy all the colors lol

I personally couldn't resist and brought it in most of the colors lol
Such a bagholic lol

Currently available on our Blog Shop for 75 AUD Only 


Out and about with my hot pink Banane fir a coffee run.
I had a lot of looks from passing girls .. They wanted the bag bad, even got a lot of ppl coming up to ask about the bag .



This range also offers a smaller vision which u can wear as a side bag or if you have kids
They can get one too

TONY MOLY - EGGPORE Tightening Pack Mask (蛋白緊緻毛孔鼻膜)





Tony Moly is a Korean brand of beauty product range. I have heard quite a lot about the brand and thought i will give it a try.

I decided on the Eggpore. The Eggpore is a clay mask which helps remove impurities in the skin to leave it clear and smooth.
As normal i skeptical, there is so much products out which always claim to do provide the best results.

TONY MOLY - EGGPORE Tightening Pack ,clay form mask that is enriched with egg white and Camellias extracts to help tightening pores and deep cleansing. It also contains keratin with whitening effect to provide a clean & smooth skin

The texture of the product was light even through it was clay base. It dry on the skin like a normal clay mask with a more gel like quality.

After the product dry , use a damp warm face cloth and wipe away the product.. lovely ladies please don't get lazy and just rub it off. Your skin takes a beating when u do that and you loosen up the skin which cause premature sagging .

Results?
We it was impressive how smooth my skin felt and clearer.

The product cost around 12 USD which online price is cheap already as i have spotted some sites trying to sell this from 15-30 USD which is a bit excessive.
The amount of product you actually get is not very much so it is a bit over priced online. If you are in asia definitely buy it as its so much cheaper!!

The bonus to this product is the design of the packing.
Its made to become a recycle bale flower pot. You can add seed and start growing stuff which i found really cute. Great as decor , guess that was definitely factored into the price ...

Final Verdict
Overall the product works really well and the egg white definitely help to tighten the skin
but considering the price tag to get it online you can find alternative product , but this was definitely worth the price if you are willing for pay for it .

I have started a whole pot plant collection :p 






Australia's the best keep secert Face of Australia



Face of Australia

I love foundations and is tend to use mainly th Asian brands as it suite my skin tone better.
However , there is an Australian brand of cosmetics which I have loved. It's well priced and it works a treat on the skin. 
It's an surprise that it's not as popular as it should be.

The brand is called Face of Australia.
They seem to be growing in popularity but they mainly sell their products online , at Kmart, bigw and Priceline.
The products range from 5-25 AUD which is very well priced as the same product which is branded would likely cost your around 30+

Foundation stick
I personally love the foundation stick. At 11.95AUD its in expensive and the quality matches the more well know brand.
The coverage is excellent and can pretty much double as a skin corrector . 
The coverage is so good u really only need a little bit. And you can skip the concealer.

One you have it one your skin turns totally flawless .. Use a press powered to set the make up.
If you are having a horrible skin day  or need to cover up some skin discoloration, just work on small lays over it.. Slowly ,, you don't wanna look like u just out the whole thing on your face like a mask. Wah la ! Flawless skin.

Mine usually last me a long time I don't even go through half of it and I throw it out and get a new one (yes make up should not be kept for more then a few month-I try not to contaminate it with my skin or brushes but it's recommended about 3-6 months you should, replace your make up . I seriously don't ent break outs)


There are other products they have just come out with which I also love .

Skin primer 


Generally it can be Pricey to get a good primer at s low budget price.
I tried their primer and it really helped hydrate the skin and allow the make up to glide on.
Totally live the primer in winter. Dry skin sometimes creep up on your from being out in the elements and being indoors under the air conditioning or the heater. This is a great boost to the skin ESP when you didn't have the time to do a face mask. 




Shimmer Mineral pearl powder

This bottle of different color pearl balls are awesome.
You might already be using another brand. I love my YSL and skin79 one , but this has the same function. 
Basically the different colors all have a function to play in helping to highlight and remove traces of redness and dullness in the skin providing you with translucent skin.

Mineral powder

Great coverage. U can just use it like normal mineral make up 
It's half the price of brand like nude by nature.
Work just as well.



Best of April and May 2012 ~~


I am sure I'm not the only one who loves a good sale!,
I came across some note worthy sales and also some excellent products which should be a must!,


Mascara


I wanted to get a new mascara as I found one which I really love from Rimmel. I normally use the Japanese brand ones but I went and tried the Rimmel's sexy curve and the 1 2 3 look and I have been in love. 
Its like the fair drop mascara but it's more accessible to us in Australia.


The sexy cures is the same as the famous fairy drop mascara but at a fraction of the price and u don't have to pay for delivery to Australia. Just pick it up at the store or supermarket.

Theses three are my favorite 

In saying so I as templeted to try what Other  Rimmel mascara had to offer. Usually such retails for about 10-25AUD 
Three for the price of one was amazing !
These are promotion packs which are available at woolworths, priceline and Coles so check it out.





Nail uv gel polish 



I am a massive fan of nail art and love to do my own nails every now and then with 3D arts and the works.
It's been so hectic I haven't had the time and I have always wanted to see if gel polish would be faster then just getting gel nails done.

And yes it's faster quicker and effect the same only u save a lot more time.

Generally gel nails are more glossy and it helps reframe your nails from being chipped and the color fast forever. Unless you start trying to Peel it off yourself (please don't do that , you reck your nails)

I had my eye in the opi uv polish for a while and thought I might try another brand before I jump right in to purchasing it.

The application was not different to normal polish , smell was a bit stronger. So open some windows if you are sensitive smells.
Post application I pop my nail under the UV lamp and the gel harden 

I was surprised that it harden pretty quickly and was very glossy. (sorry about the photos I just did a very quick trail run , so may nails are not so glam)

I use other colors on top to crate some additional pattern to give my nails something. 

All brands are pretty much the same but the better brands such as OPI snd CDN works best ,quality cant beat them. 

To use the product you need a UV lamp
... so if your don't have one and u want to try this at home I suggest u go to eBay and just purchase one. If you don't want to spend the money to buy the lamp. Head to your local nail salon and see if they do gel nails. Usually would cost you around $80-150 depending where you go but not all salons offer it.

Word of warning, becareful of the nail salon you pick as its easy to get infections if they are not hygienic.
Best to get a friend to refer you.
