Small haul

Last week I bought a few new products, one was a necessary item and the others were spur of the moment items that I picked up. One in particular I am SUPER excited about as Ive been wanting it for so long.

The necessary item was a new pressed powder - Australis Fresh and Flawless Pressed Powder

I'd heard that this was a great powder - long lasting, high coverage and a dupe for the Mac Studio Fix powder. So far I'm loving it!! 

I got it in the colour Natural which is the lightest - There's only 3 shades.

I went into Priceline to browse on my lunch break and ended up picking up the new Rimmel foundation - called Wake Me Up. I got it in the lightest shade Ivory.

(I accidently deleted the photo I took of this product but here's an internet picture)

And while I was heading to the checkout to buy the foundation I picked up a brush. I don't really know why, but I touched the tester and it felt super soft so I just decided to take it with me to the checkout. It's from an Australian cheaper brand called Models Prefer. 

And the thing I'm most excited for - Soleil Tan De Chanel which I have wanted for a long time and finally went and bought it. I was in David Jones re-purchasing my skin care items and wandered over to the Chanel counter while I was there.

This picture shows the Soleil Tan De Chanel at the bottom, that's not blended, that is a swatch straight from the container to my hand. 

To the top/right is a squirt of the Rimmel foundation and the the top/left is the foundation blended out. 

Fashion post - Rose Hathaway from Vampire Academy

Hi,

I recently read the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead and LOVED IT!

I love the main character, Rose because she is such a strong personality that I really admire. Whenever I really fall in love with a character I always feel inspired to do a bit of Googling about their style (fashion/hair/make-up). So I browsed the web for Rose Hathaway style pics and found the below in Google images which were from http://www.polyvore.com/

http://www.polyvore.com/ is a great website. I check it out nearly everyday when I just feel like browsing fashion looks and trends.

I really like what I found for the Rose Hathaway looks, probably because what I found is very much my style. I do mix up my style with trends and different moods I might be in, but the below pics are what I would say is my overall constant style. I tend to be a simple yet classy kind of dresser with a touch of edginess (i.e. a leather jacket, military boots, edgy accessories, etc).

My favourite section is the last picture/grouping. I absolutely ADORE the boots and handbag! and I also really love the jacket in the first picture/grouping.

Have you read the books? 
What items in these pictures do you like best and what do you think of this overall style?
