Collective Haul - Asos and Dragonberry

Dragonberry is an Australian franchise that stocks, I think, mainly Australian brands. They had a nothing over $10 pop up sale, so of course I had to go, and I'm so glad I did. My mini Asos order also happened to arrive today, so I thought I'd combine the two.

But first, Dragonberry! Everything was $10 and it was a buy 5 get one free. I've listed the brands underneath.

And now for Asos
 New Look hoodie, available here. Size up! I went with chest measurements (cause its a mens) and thought, 'that's about right', and now its very tight around my hip, though its fine around my chest (yay). Also it was on sale for $22, and I needed a hoodie, so this was it.


 Rimmel's eyeshadow quad in Brixton Brown, and Bourjois Foundation in 53 - light beige.

 Monki ring + also another chance to show off my nails (in love with the colour).

So pumped about the Dragonberry haul, most of the pieces I would have happily paid more than $10 for such nice pieces. I'm kind of addicted, its a two day sale and I'm going again tomorrow.

Nails #2 - Mashmallow pink

I've seen light pink nail polish popping up a lot on youtube, especially Essie's Fiji. I normally stay away from pink nail polish, but after seeing how nice it looked on other people, I wanted to try it. I didn't own any light pink polish, and I didn't feel like buying a new bottle of polish, so I mixed my own colour. I poured out a dollop of white nail polish and added a few drops of rose pink polish, borrowed off my mum, mixed it up, and voila - baby pink polish.


Because I had mixed the polish out in the open and I had my fan on, the polish started to dry/clump which made it hard to apply. I added the Sally Hansen Instra-dri top coat on top and it smoothed out the polish and gave it a nice glossy look. Loving this colour now that I have it on my nails, I might go out and get a shade like this.

Australis Velourlips in Tok-i-o

I was in Priceline the other day and Australis was on sale. I'd seen reviews of it online, and the velourlips just called to me, so I picked up the purple one.

Sorry about the shaky picture, I didn't realise it at the time

This product dries in seconds, its amazing. It goes from liquid to super matte, so matte that when I took a sip of water, there was barely a stain on the cup. Because it is so matte, it can be quite drying, so I would definitely wear a lip balm underneath.

I love this colour, it makes me feel like I'm a Disney evil queen and oh so badasss. They retail for about $9.95, I got them for $6.95.
