Shanghai Suzy lipstick

Miss Ally Amethyst 

Price: $12.95

First Impressions: Affordable for the quality, Easy to apply, Wasn't dry

Rate: 9/10

Negatives: I could barely think of a negative besides the fact that because this lipstick is a kind of glossy lipstick it would probably need applying again and again due to wearing off. Not a stain lipstick. 

This lipstick even smells incredible. I love that the colour is colour trustworthy, meaning you can buy a colour knowing thats what it will look like when you apply it. These lipsticks are perfect quality and I just love this wear. Wouldn't personally wear this colour around, but I am defiantly investing in some other colours. 

The Body Shop- Colour Crush Lipstick

Breathless Berry 

Price:

$19.95

First Impressions:

Very glossy

Easy to apply 

Rate: 

8.5

Negatives: 

Not a very long lasting lipstick, would have to keep applying 

The colour crush lipsticks are a shine range, so they're suppose to have that incredible shine and gloss look. Not something your after if you want a matte look. But these lipsticks are a perfect range for that pretty gloss look that feel silky on your lips. Especially good if you have dry lips.

Celebrating our 1 year anniversary @ Pireaus Blues

Pireaus Blues & Anniversary talk

Its not a big deal for some people, but its a huge deal for myself.
The one year mark with my partner and I is something I've been looking forward too for ages.
Its an accomplishment and its an exciting big deal for me.
Seemings that my longest relationship was 3 months with someone that wasn't so serious, this is HUGE for me. My first real love, my first real relationship and we made it to the one year mark.
Jake and I have accomplished so much together and shared so many precious memories. Travelling to different places, experiencing things for the first time together and growing as people as a couple. An of course the bad times that make your relationship stronger. The fights and the financial diffculties that arise sometimes during a relationship. But we've shown that we're strong enough to get through all of that and come out on top. But this post isn't about my love life and my relationship. Its about how I celebrated my 1 year anniversary with Jake, and what made it so very special.

I've posted about Pireaus Blues in the past, a Greek restaurant on Brunswick street. In between the hustle and bustle of this busy street is a beautiful traditional greek restaurant. This was a place that Jakes step dad took us too, a place that was very special to him. Its somewhere were his taken his late wife, his children and now Jakes mum. Its somewhere where you'd want to take people to share special occasions with. An thats exactly what I wanted to do for Jake and I.

A place that might be a little more pricey but totally worth it. Jake and I shared a Mothers day special banquet on the menu at $55 per head. Yes a little bit pricey but do you really expect to be paying like $20 for the best quality of food. An you don't necessarily want to share a McDonalds family meal for a special occasion, especially an anniversary.

At Pireaus Blues you can tell the staff are all a family, and that vibe spreads. You feel quite warm and included, and the customer service is exceptional. We especially noticed how great it was that the staff explained the dishes thoroughly when they came out, so you knew exactly what you were eating.
The staff also continue to ask if every things okay and if anythings needed.

If you're planning a place to visit for a special occasion I can't recommend this place enough. Its honestly the place you want to be when sharing a special time with someone.

The beauty of a great personality

Somethings been bothering me a little more than usual, people. 

I don't want this to be a negative nelly post, but instead I want to open peoples eyes a little. 

In my opinion their are two different personalities in the world. The personalities that love to copy and follow others, and the personalities that are truly unique and aren't bothered by whats trending or what people think. 

I like to call the personality where everyone follows others, the sheep personality. 

The sheep personality is TAKING OVER. Its so very rare to find someone that is just unique and 100% their own self.

The beauty of a great personality is something you need to experience to really understand. When you meet someone with a unique, outstanding, DIFFERENT personality- their positivity is literally a vibe that rubs off on the people around them.

I have a few people in mind when I'm thinking of great personalities, and they're the sort of people I love being around. 

Have you ever met someone that speaks about life and thinks about things so positively and is just so easy going? Someone that inspires you to do the great things you've always wanted, someone that makes you feel confident and care free. Theirs only a rare few people that make me feel that way. Its a person that after spending time with them, you feel so great and get that burst of motivation. 

Thats the type of personality we need more of. Less of the same old personality where people think theirs nothing better to do then follow the latest trends and forever gossip. 

Theirs an Eric Thomas quote that relates to this perfect thats stuck in mind, but I really can't think of the exact words. Heres another one that relates great.

"You need to associate with people that inspire you, people that challenge you to rise higher, people that make you better. Don't waste your valuable time with people that are not adding to your growth. Your destiny is too important"

Thats the best bit of beautiful personality, its beneficial. When you surround yourself with these people, its spreads the energy and benefits yourself. Positivity, inspiration and motivation are all the things that spreads when you surround yourself with these personalities. Why would you want to spend time with people that bring you down, make you feel negative and keep you in the same mindset and bad habits. Surround yourself with people that help you move forward and help you grow!

What you do today is going to help you grow tomorrow. 
Be unique, don't be afraid to be different and grow.

Little Creatures Geelong

Little Creatures Geelong
bring out the little creature in you

I've been so impressed with this place that I thought I HAVE to tell the world about it (well at least my viewers).
My sister introduced me to this hidden cosy place, that I had never herd about before. 
I'm quite a foodie so I never knock down an opportunity for a dining experience. 
This place has such an exclusive feel to it, and you'll know exactly why once you visit. 
Hidden in this massive brewery, is an outdoor beer garden and a massive restaurant/pub. When you walk in of a night time this place is just buzzing. 
The beer garden is all lit up and everyones drinking and socialising. Inside is full of diners and people at the bar, the atmosphere is awesome and the great mood becomes contagious. 

One way I can describe Little Creatures is HIPSTER. The whole place is full of quirky things, surrounded with art, an all healthy (and delicious) menu and full of bearded men and women in band t-shirts. Okay okay I'm over exaggerating a crap load, but seriously its almost like if you don't look like a hipster then you cannot work at this place. Theirs nothing wrong with that, it gives an amazing feel and the customer service is fantastic.
But just to give you an idea of how great I thought this place was, after the first night of visiting I went 3 days straight. 
I had to show a few people this hidden little gem, and let them experience what I experienced.
What I loved most is the surroundings. This place has;
A sandpit to keep your children occupied
A massive piano in a shipping container to fool around with 
Buggy cars with awesome art on it
The nicest beer garden
Art that will keep your eyes wandering 
Awesome hipster staff 
YUMMY FOOD (five star) 
An the awesome atmosphere that will make you want to keep coming back. 

the night life was buzzing!

just some of the cool art around

the BEST pizza you will ever try 

these cute little bikes you can hire

the famous piano 

yep, they've thought of everything! Craft markets are held here every second sunday

Little creatures came about in Fremantle, out of the love of great beer shared with a few mates. After many trials and experimentation's  their first beer, Pale Ale, was presented to the Australian market in time for summer of 2001.But throughout the years they've created a bigger family of beers and they continue to grow and stretch their horizons.  

This place is just beyond brilliant. Its the unique style that differs the dining experience to every other place I've visited. 10/10 for their amazing food- I shared some ribs that were falling off the bone and melted in my mouth. I also shared the meat ball pizza and I swear to god it was like visiting Greece and experience their flavours in my mouth. I have never felt like that before with food, but it was something about this meatball pizza that really just hit me. So if you're visiting the Geelong Little Creatures 'canteen' I STRONGLY suggest the meatball pizza, because you WILL travel to Greece without having to buy that expensive plane ticket. 
Here are more details of the Geelong based brewery, and guess what; Brewery tours are FREE.

Solid Shampoo Bars from LUSH

Ditch the bottle and head for the bar! 

Isn't Lush just perfect? Not one fault I can think about Lush products or the company.
I'm sure everyone has herd of Lush- fresh handmade cosmetics; ethical buying, 100% vegetarian, active campaigners, reducing landfill and strongly against and fighting animal testing.
At a bloggers event we had a bunch of Lush employees doing a demonstration. They were so passionate about the company and the products and their information really stuck. 
The company has such amazing values and all of their hard work really shows in their great products. 

I could go on and on about this brilliant company, but I think its worthwhile having a look yourselves and doing some research.
https://www.lush.com.au
If you're near a Lush store I recommend having a look inside, theirs so many amazing products that I doubt you'll be walking out empty handed.

The lucky duck that I am, I got the fantastic opportunity to review the NEW solid shampoo bars from Lush. Naked, unpreserved solid shampoo bars are not only convenient and unpreserved but for every one use, you are saving three bottles of liquid shampoo going to landfill. 

All $13.95 each

Five new flavours!!!!

Perk up your hair 

Today I reviewed Jason And The Argan Oil; On a quest for stronger, shinier, softer hair? Try this argan oil-packed, Rose Jam-scented bar. Ideal for those with lighter hair tones. My first impression was how cool this bar was, because you literally use it like a soap bar on your hair, and just rub it all over your hair. Surprised me but my hair lathered and it was exactly like using a liquid. I think this bar would last for ages as nothing really changed! 
My hair is feeling perfect, smooth and smells AMAZING. All you reviews from me, now all I have left to test is Brazilliant shampoo bar. 
To be honest with my audience, I've never really beed a customer of Lush- for no reason at all just never really have purchased much from their store. 
BUT Lush have defiantly won over a customer, just quietly I'm having an online shop right now hehe.
