I called my friend Lara yesterday to see if she would let me try out Face of Australia's new Illuminator that I had picked up (when getting some milk!). Turned out she was going for dinner later that night, so she was happy to be my "guinea pig" yet again...thanks Lars
2. Next, I used an eyeliner pen and winged out the lash line just a little.
3. Then I blended a little black eyeshadow with the MAC pencil brush, to soften the top lash line and give a little definition to the bottom lashline. I used iInk pencil from Gorgeous Cosmetics to line the top and bottom water line (tight lining). Lars then applied her own mascara, because she freaks out when I do it (lol)...she used Dior Show mascara. Then I applied 3 sets of individual flares to the outer corner of each eye with the dark lash glue, I like it better than the clear one these days...meh

| Lara's little bag of tricks. Cute bag..I think it's Mimco |

| The eyeshadows from the NYX palette have great pigment, I find them very similar to the MAC eyeshadows. The glittery finish that I applied to the inner corners and blended out is a loose dust from Gorgeous Cosmetics in Suede (looks beautiful on it's own too). You'd think this post was sponsored by Gorgeous Cosmetics, but it's not...I'm just a BIG fan of this Aussie brand. |

| I used the MAC 190 foundation brush to apply Revlon's Colourstay foundation and thne to apply and blend the FOA Illuminator in Angel Mist to Lara's Cheekbones. I used my fingers to blend a little under her brow and on the cupids bow too. |

Have a safe and happy NYE, whatever you may be doing and I'll see you in 2012.
I'm going to admit it now, just so you know...I am a hair product junkie...there, I said it.
But I have been seeking help, OK?
Since finding my amazing hairdresser Heather (thanks Natasha), I have cut back on my floozy product days and one night (product) stands and settled for a more respectful hair life. It's funny how, when you meet "the one", that your hair life can change forever. She knows what I want and she "understands" my hair and I never leave feeling dissatisfied or disappointed.
Heather, if you read this, please don't ever leave me...I may just die, or at least, my follicles might .
Now that I don't have to fight my hair to behave, everything just falls into place...except the frizzies. The frizzies, I believe will be the bane of my hair life forever.
My (lovely) sister in law, who also sees Heather (it's a family affair), has tried the Keratin phenomenon that is currently about, and is fairly happy with the result. I have yet to give this a go.
But, I have been using the Luminous colour Glaze® Clear Shine from the John Frieda® Hair Care experts for a while and I am THRILLED with the results!!!
I use the Glaze every time I wash my hair, after shampooing & conditioning. I leave it on for a few minutes and rinse. It feels a little squeaky after I rinse, but then dries so smooth AND shiny...especially after I use a straightening iron. I usually don't need to add a serum, but the floozy in me can't resist. (Just a leetle bit Morrocan Oil can't hurt...can it?)
Fragrance: light...smells like a hair salon product...sorry to be vague...you know what I mean...don't you?
Value for money: Well worth even the full price as I only use a small amount and my hair is long and VERY thick. I've had this for a couple of months and I'm only 1/2 way through the bottle. I usually use it whenever I wash my hair, which is typically twice a week, three times when I remember to do a treatment.

I purchased my John Frieda Luminous colour Glaze® Clear Shine from Priceline for about $13 ( it was reduced for a catalog sale) but I believe it normally retails for $19.99.
Tell me are you a hair product junkie....or just a bit of a floozy?
Feel free to link your hair posts with your comments. I'll be sharing some more of my favourite hair products very soon.
Stay beautiful xx
