*731 Days and Counting (+Quick Updates)

Another year has passed by and how lucky I have been to be able to share it with my other half...the person that completes me.

Also got a haircut on Thursday and dyeing my hair tomorrow! Yes, it's finally happening.
So I'll definitely update after that.

Love Lisa.

*Well 737 if I'm counting up to today.

Catching Fire

Freedom. Palpable yet just beyond my grasp.

It's been a frustrating few weeks. I've had many happy times that I could recount but on the flipside there's a horrible feeling I can't shake. The past few days have been particularly bad. It's just been one thing adding on top of the other relentlessly. God knows how I'd cope without Daniel.

The end of the day was always my favourite time to blog. But now I'm too drained to ever muster up the energy to begin a post.

I've booked in for a haircut next Thursday. I'll definitely blog about that since I'm quite excited. I'm bored of my hair, time to bring back the layers, maybe a little more fringe and I think I'll just let the hairdresser do whatever she thinks will suit my face, while still keeping my hair fairly long of course.

After that I am still determined to dye my hair before uni starts again. I need change in my life. The same old routine is driving me crazy.

Oh oh! I have finally, truly gotten back into reading again. I literally just finished Catching Fire, the second book in the Hunger Games Trilogy. And my oh my this is definitely one of my favourite series of books I've read so far. The storyline has been more unpredictable than most books which is what makes it so engrossing. The movie pales in comparison to the first book.

Also I haven't read any books with a similar theme, although I am sure there are many. I guess Nineteen Eighty Four had a vaguely familiar post apocalyptic, dystopic feel..it's probably incorrect of me to juxtapose one of George Orwell's novels to the Hunger Games since it's much darker and written in a completely different style, and is a different genre. But if you've read the books hopefully you can see the vague allusion I'm trying to make.

What amused me is that they put Stephanie Meyer's quotes saying how good the Hunger Games are on almost every book. After reading Twilight, can't say that her judgement in good literature is something I would go by.

Enough about that, going to start on the last book now. Goodnight!

Love Lisa.

Haul: Makeup, Perfume and Novels (Very Picture Heavy)

 A whole bunch of stuff I've bought since 3 or 4 months ago.

Skin79 Hot Pink Super Plus BB Cream. I was skeptical that the colour wouldn't match but it really does, so I must be a lot more paler than I was in the past. One thing, definitely not flash photography friendly, as are most spf containing products.



Etude House Drawing Eye Brow Pencil. This is my HG eye brow product. There's nothing I need more. I have it in shade grey brown and dark brown..I think. I bought these a very long while ago and use them almost daily.




Stila Eye Kohl in Topaz, perfect for the lower waterline, much more natural than using white.


I actually don't think I've blogged about this, I won one of those Youtube giveaways that beauty gurus always hold. I don't enter them too often maybe one every month or so. I won saaamage's (one of my favourite youtube gurus) giveaway and what I received is below. Unfortunately one of the Lorac eyeshadows was destroyed during delivery. The pink thing is a Sedona Lace kabuki, very dense and great quality. The Jewelmint bracelet is lovely but much too loose for my wrist I might sell it?


88 Eyeshadow Palette 


Rimmel Nail White Pencil


Little Perfume Sample, I really like the Michael Kors one!


Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau so Fresh


The Hunger Games Trilogy. Got these for a great deal on ebay about 2 months ago. I've only just started reading the first book today heh.




Nailtiques, I bought this for my mum since her nails have been very brittle and peeling lately. So far she thinks it has been living up to its reviews.


China Glaze haul that Michael brought back for me from America. They cost around $3-$4 each, even the cheapest places in Melbourne sell them for at least $6.


Unfortunately I had an ELF order that was meant to be delivered to Michael's apartment in New York. It never arrived :( Luckily they were very good about refunding me the full amount.


Love Lisa.
