Today is the first day since before Easter that I haven't had to leave the house for something or other. We have been
that busy. It's been crazy. So today, I called 'home day' and the only time I've set foot outside of my house is to put the bins out the front for garbage collection tomorrow.
And it has been
bliss.
So of course, when I know I'm at home all day, and that no one is coming over {I am absolutely against people just 'popping in', and ask them to always contact me first! Luckily, I have a napping baby I can use as my excuse...} it's sloth day. And I whole-heartedly believe that everyone needs this once in a while. You know the kind of day :: you throw on your second-skin trackies, that faded tshirt you can't bear to part with, your hair gets thrown up into a messy bun on the top of your head, and your feet may or may not live in slippers for the day.
It's also absolutely a no makeup kind of day {
which my skin will probably be thanking me for}.
So instead of showcasing a product, I thought I'd share the few bits and pieces I've purchased lately, and can't wait to try out!
Colette Accessories very recently had a 50% off jewellery sale for Colette members. I absolutely took advantage of this and purchased this gorgeous black chain necklace and the mustard coloured oval earrings. The turquoise and black necklace is actually from Equip Accessories, and I picked it up for six dollars on sale. I've not yet worn any of these but you can bet I will be shortly!
I am on an endless search for the perfect BB cream. I've tried several so far and nothing hits the spot. Then I saw this newly released version from Australian brand
Chi Chi Cosmetics. It smells divine and I'm intrigued by the fact that it contains caviar extract.
My daughter and I had a Girls Day Out over the weekend, and I was excited to see that Top Shop has opened at Highpoint Shopping Centre. While I'm not in the market for any new clothes yet {still losing those last few pesky kilos from pregnancy! Yes, almost 10 months later. Disgraceful, I know..} I was eager to try out something from their cosmetics range. I have an obsession with purple lipstick right now {post coming up on that soon} and when I saw this beauty, I snatched it up quick.
The L'Oreal Color Infallible is just another to add to my collection; I love them so much, they are a dream to apply and they actually last all day long on me. This colour is Golden Mahogany, and it's a rusty red/brown type shade. Perfect for Autumn!
Lastly, I finally purchased my first Ciate nail polish. I had been wanting to try the brand out forever now. I was in
Kit Cosmetics and this fabulous shade caught my eye. I ummed and ahhed for a while, almost gravitating towards the prettier mints and corals, but in the end I purchased it because I know myself -- I'd make the 50 minute trip back again the next day once I regretted not buying it. The shade is called Oil Slick and it really does look like spilled petrol. It's fabulous.
I'll have reviews and opinions coming up on a few of these products once I wear them and try them out for a while.
In the meantime, my lazy self is going to settle on the couch with a cappuccino and a magazine with the baby is napping and my Girl is playing with her Polly Pockets.
Have you tried any of these products?
Which review would you be interested in seeing first?
