Colourpop is quickly becoming one of my favourite makeup brands ever. It's super affordable and pretty much every product i've used by theirs I have LOVED (minus the ultra matte lips which are more drying than the sahara desert).

I did an order with my sister and my parcel finally arrived a few days ago. Honestly, nothing makes me become crazy like ordering stuff online. I check the tracking every five seconds!!

Would absolutely recommend Colourpop to anyone and everyone. When you purchase over $50 you get free shipping, and it's easy to get to the $50 as there's so much to buy.

Now aint this the most perfect palette if you've seen one?! It was only $16 too! I absolutely love the shade range in this, completely wearable featuring some gorgeous shimmer shades. My favourite shade of the bunch is the one on the bottom left, it's sooo pretty. As you can tell from the swatches above this palette is very pigmented. I don't even need to apply fix+ on the shimmer shades as they are so strong already without it. Can see myself using this non-stop.

Colourpop palettes usually sell out super quick but I just checked online and this is still in stock - so if you like the look of it then I think go for it cause you'll get a lot of use from it. Link here.

Aquarius was a wildly popular lippie stix from the Kathleen Lights collection that they asked her to come back and create it in all their lipstick formulations. As I was a huge fan of the Aquarius lippie stix I knew it would be worth buying the other formulations. The ultra satin lip is one of my favourite formulations of lipstick EVER as it's highly pigmented, non-drying, and lasts allll day. Only $6 too.

This is easily going to become something i'll go through tubes of because this shade is my perfect nude. It kinda reminds me of the Koko K lipkit by Kylie. Except this formula is waay nicer and not as drying.

Guys i've got the guilts. I haven't done a blog post in 12 days and...I feel baddd. in my defense the last few weeks have been super busy with work and going away for the weekend so there really hasn't been time to rustle anything together. Also I always like to post stuff that i'd want to read myself!

Last week my mum and I went for the weekend away in Melbourne for no particular reason, just to have a nice getaway. The past few months have been quite full on at work with so many learning curves so I was really needing a nice trip away to reset and treat myself. It was full of lots of shopping, drinking lots of wine and coffee, eating lots of cheese, and exploring around the city. My highlight would be either going to a Wallace & Grommet exhibition or seeing The Book of Mormon.

The Wallace & Grommet exhibition was sooo amazing. We weren't aware it was even on but saw a sign in the city promoting it so we had to go. I don't know about you guys but Wallace & Grommet was my childhood!! I think I have seen each episode hundreds of times. I felt like a little kid running around the exhibition excitedly. My favourite part was at the end where you got the chance to make your own plasticine characters to then make a little short animation - similar to what they do. Would definitely recommend you checking this out if you go to Melbourne, it's only $24 and worth it if you were a huge fan (like me!).
The Book of Mormon was hilarious. The easiest way to describe the humour is that it's South Park kinda humour. Very politically incorrect and offensive at times, but generally funny. I wouldn't recommend this to the faint hearted, if you don't like South Park or shows like The Inbetweeners then I don't think is gonna be your kinda thing. Absolutely loved it though.
A random cute coffee shop we discovered in Fitzroy after destroying two delicious croissants from Lune.
Also I went back to my favourite spot which is a cafe called Higher Ground (photo above with the huuuge pancake). It's the prettiest place with high ceilings, exposed brick, plants, friendly staff, and a killer menu. I mentioned this in my  Best Spots to Get Breakfast At in Melbourne post a few months back. The thing to order is the Ricotta Hotcake which apparently no one has ever finished. I tried, and only got 3/4 through which was a solid effort.
And lastly we went to Lui Bar which is a gorgeous bar 55 floors up and overlooks the city. It does great cocktails and is ultra classy. It's wildly popular so we had to wait awhile to get a seat next to the window but when we did it was all worth it. Maybe avoid going on a Saturday night like we did because it was very busy.
