Ed Sheeran 2013!

Hey Hey! :)

So on Wednesday the 6th of March I went to the Ed Sheeran concert in Melbourne! And i'm going to tell you now it was AMAZING! I got up at the crack of dawn a 4am and had a 6 hour bus ride down to Melbourne. Mega boring! I arrived in Melbourne around 11am and there were already people outside festival hall, luckily I didn't have to line up as I had seating tickets :) I also went with 2 other friends who got a later bus and didn't arrive until 5pm. (Oh and my mum traveled down with me, so cheers for that mum!)

What I wore
Peplum top - Cotton On
Plain black skirt - Cotton On
Black wedged boots - Dotti

It was stinking hot in Melbourne that night so I didn't put to much effort into my hair or makeup!
The show started at 7:30 with Ed's first support act Gabrielle Aplin. Followed by his other support act Passenger. Passenger was great! He has such a unique voice, i'm def a fan of him now! :)
And then finally at 9 O'clock Ed came out!!!

A list of what he sang last night.... (By my memory) :P

A Team

My highlights of the night:

• Passenger singing his song 'I hate' 
• Ed singing 'Wayfaring Stranger' the whole room was quiet during the whole song it was amazing, he even sang a bit of the song without a microphone it was chilling!
• Ed singing Wake Me Up and UNI - My favorite songs of his!
• During his cover of ' Be My Husband' he all got us singing the chorus 
• Passenger and Ed did a duet of Passengers song 'Hearts on Fire' its such a beautiful song, and there voices sounded so amazing together!
• Ed getting everyone to be quiet by doing a 'Univeral shhhhhhhhhh'
• He then spoke about if someone is making noise you shouldn't hit them but stroke them... if not stroke harder.... and of course some girl started yelling stuff, and he said they should be stroked xP
• When Ed came back on the stage for the encore with the aussie flag and sung 'You need me, I dont need you' i swear to god it went on for 10 minutes!!!! It was legit extordinary to watch! It's the best thing I have ever seen, like ever!
• He ended the night with his hit A Team which of course everyone sang along to.
• Just the fact that Ed does all the music himself, its great to watch him slowly build up each song!

I could actually contintue to write about the concert for hours about how much I loved it. Overall it was an amazing night! Everyone has to see Ed live at least once before they kick the bucket!

He is the most extorinary performer. I definatley want to see him live again!

Review | Australis Fresh and Flawless - Pressed Powder

Hi there! :)

So I've recently purchased the Australis Fresh and Flawless pressed powder. As the name suggests it is an Australian company. The packaging implies that this product is 'A convenient mirrored compact that provides instant touch ups for a radiant matte complexion'.

It's available in 3 different shades Natural, Deep Natural and Darkest Brown. I got mine in Natural as i'm a very fair skinned creature. 

A lot of people rave about this product as its basically a dupe for the MAC studio fix powder. I myself have never tried the MAC product but I can say that this Australis product is amazing!!

The Packaging.

The packaging is almost exact same to the MAC studio fix, though the fresh and flawless has more of a shiny case. It is quiet bulky but that isn't a bother for me. It also has a compact mirror which is quiet handy while on the go. Underneath the product there is a round applicator sponge, I myself don't use it as I prefer applying powder with a brush.

The Product.

• It's great for setting your foundation or mattifying shiny skin. 
• I've found that its very light on the skin which is great with any product. 
• It's oil and fragrance free and hasn't clogged up any of my pores. 
• It has great coverage and I've even been wearing it on its own!
• It's great for sensitive skin. I have extremly sensitive skin and this product has not set my skin off at all! Which is the biggest plus for me.

 Although it is only available in Australia and New Zealand to my knowledge  You can pick it up from Priceline, Kmart, Big W, Target ect. For $8 - $12 depending weather it is on sale or not.

I defiantly recommend this product! and I'll for sure repurchase it :)

Budget Beauty | $2 BOE Beauty

Hi, Hey, Hello :)

If your from Australia, you may of noticed recently in Big W, they now stock a small new brand called BOE beauty. Some of the items include eye shadows, lipsticks, lip glosses, mascaras, powders, bronzers and nail polishes and every single one of these items are $2! Though there is a limited choice in colours.

Now, I was kinda on the ledge weather to try these products or not, so I only purchased 3 coming in at a bloody cheap $6.

Firstly I picked up one of the eye shadows. Now the packaging is extremely tacky and cheap. (Hence the price) The duo I got was a light shimmery white and a shimmery brown. Swatched they didn't look to bad. BUT they are horrible, I found as soon as I applied it to my eyelids it fell off in a matter of seconds, they where extremely hard to apply and basically resembled dust. So the eye shadow was defs a let down for me. But I do recommend them for children who want to smear them on there faces...... or dog.

Then I tried the lipsticks, annnnnnnd LOVED THEM. The 2 colours I purchased where Coral Kiss and Natural Tea Rose. They are extremely good for the price! They are well pigmented and you don't have to ram it into your lips for the colour to go on nicely, as in the picture above that's just one swipe of each. Though I wears off after a while and you have to reapply it but that was no problem for me.  There are only 4 colours to chose from and I'll defiantly be purchasing the other 2!

So far I'm not sure about this brand and I'm not keen on trying the other products but I will tell you now, Go out and try the lipsticks!!!! I mean there only $2 :)
