Jess my childhood friend

My day with Jess....a dear friend of mine from when i was little till about 17yrs old....then we parted ways about 7 years ago when she moved from Tasmania to live in Brisbane, and soon after that i moved to Perth and then Sydney!!!

so on a beautiful winters day in Sydney (friday) we finally got to meet up again after all those years and have a nice catch up....was really nice to see her....it was as though we had always seen each other!! it felt normal and nice and we had lots to catch up on!!!

More goodies from my job!

Yep, i love going to training with Estee.....cause we always get little goodies...and we are right next the staff shop so i always go have a look at what is on the shelves!

why do we have training?? when we are new we have a 3day product knowledge training, then whenever a new product launch happens we have training....and when we have 'gift with purchase' we have more training.......so last week on thursday i had 1 day of training about new products......

today (tuesday) i was meant to have more training for gift with purchase...but i wasnt very well and couldnt make it :(  bummer cause i missed out on getting more freebies...

but next tuesday i have to got back again for something different :) Yay i say :)

so.........last thursday, this is what i got

a nice eyeshadow and lip gloss....part of a new range of products we have coming out!

and the newly updated Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum.....a really nice eye gel that is great for fine lines/dark circles/ puffiness/ hydration etc etc.....

Plus i got a couple things from the staff shop....

another MAC eyeshadow compact.....love these colours, camera doesnt do them justice!

plus a new lipstick :)

it looks very pink in this photo....but its more of a purple/pinky colour.....i LOVE it!!!

going back to the advanced night repair eye......i also got the face serum last training session in June...

this stuff is AMAZING.....SERIOSULY.....it  is actually Australia's number one anti-ageing serum!!!

but that doesnt mean its for mature skin.....anyone can use it!!!

i use it night and day and i love it!

before bed i take off my makeup with baby wipes then wash my face in warm water with a cloth, i then apply the serum...about the size of a 20cent piece....all over my face (not near my eyes) and down my neck....i give it a few seconds to set in then follow with a moisturiser and my new eye gel.....night and day!!!

what the serum does is it goes into the skin into the cellular level and repairs past damage...while we are sleeping our skin is in a state of rest so its the best time to really be able to repair!! during the day our skin is in an active state so its a good time to protect!!

so night time it is repairing past environmental damage....(ie.damage from pollution, smoke, fumes, sun etc etc as well as stress damage) and during the day it is protecting skin from further damage setting into the skin!!

but even thought the serum is hydrating...you still need a moisturiser on top...just so your skin is getting enough as the serum is not actually a moisturiser!!

so there you have it, some new products i got....plus a little plug for the Advanced Night Repair....Australia's number 1 anti-ageing serum!!!

:)

More products to come!!!

Beautiful women part 2

This is my part 2 on beautiful women.....women that i think are just gorgeous on the outside (and prob on the inside)

as i stated in the last "beautiful women" post, the outward appearance is not how i judge whether someone is of value or not!!!!! A persons character and morals far outway whether they are outwardly attractive!! BUT, this post is all about women that i find beautiful......i dont personally know these women (i wish), but these women are very attractive and have probably achieved great things!

Firstly.....

SHAKIRA :)

I really do think this woman is very very lucky to be as beautiful as she is!!!

I LOVE HER HAIR!!!!!

i really love thick, long hair....spec if its curly....i really do love Shakira's hair!!!

I LOVE that she is womanly....she has beautiful thick/curly hair and a curvy body!!

JUST GORGEOUS!!

and i actually love her voice....i know a lot of people that cant stand her songs....and yeah i agree some of them are pretty dumb :)  but her voice is unusual and unique and i really like that, someone just needs to write her some good songs :)

Another woman that is quite similar is........

BEYONCE

Once again a womanly figure

and beautiful thick hair :)

unusual fashion choices :)

no but seriously i would LOVE to raid her wardrobe!!

and go to the hoilday destinations she can afford :)

and attend the OSCARS and every other awards show she goes to :)

wouldnt it be fun to trade lives just for a month......i would never want to wish i was someone else or trade my life for good.....def not......but just to see how the 'stars' live for a few weeks would be fun!! dont you agree?? :)

LOL

Last for this post.....is an Aussie :)

actually she is from Perth Western Australia......and she is dating a very funny guy (Andy, from the Hamish and Andy show)

MEGAN GALE

yep....she is ours :)

I love that she is a model (actually 'was' a model, i think she does more business things now).....but she isnt stick thin....she still has a womanly body!!

there she is with her FUNNY boyfriend :)

so there you have my 'beautiful women' post

have i said 'beautiful women' enough :)

Have a great day

Love HollieD

we had such a nice night!!!

for his birthday i gave him a couple little things and some money because i knew he really wanted a nice winter jacket and also some new Basketball shoes......

plus my beautiful parents gave him  money!

so today (Sunday) after church we went shopping......

we were so happy.....we found him some really nice yellow/blue basketball shoes (he wanted those colours to match his basketball jersey)

I LOVE THESE SHOES......im so happy for him!!!

DOLL MAKEUP

Doll makeup

Not something you would do for an everyday look....but for a photoshoot or a dress up party, its pretty cool!!

I love the porcelain skin and the cute rosy cheeks....

and i also love the lips and the lower lashes!!!

so once again i thought i would have a try!!  :)

so today i had a day off work...it was freezing outside and i just wanted to stay indoors......so i did a little 'doll' makeover!

My look is a little softer....rather than a red lip i chose a pink lipstick!

I also didnt do my hair so it isnt very doll-like

But i did use fake lower lashes which were fun!

Bit of fun on a cold/dreary day at home!!

Hope you enjoyed my 'doll-face'

Love HollieD
