Friday Favourites

September 14, 2012

 

Happy Friday Dear Readers!

It’s been a great week here at Lipstick & Cake with some great stories in the works and some exciting blogging news to announce shortly.

I also have a prize to giveaway to one lucky Lipstick & Cake reader! For your chance to win a gorgeous necklace and cute earrings from Lovisa, see details at the bottom of the post.

 

Blinging - with these gorgeous new rings from Lovisa.

Give me more MOR - This week I interviewed one half of the dynamic duo behind the brand MOR. Dianna Burmas spoke to Lipstick & Cake about the brand, her inspirations and who’d she would invite to dinner. See the interview here.

Shades of brown – A few months ago I attended a make up course at Napoleon Perdis. I learnt so much in that one day, including how to do a smokey eye with shades other than grey and black. Here’s how to create that sexy smokey eye look using browns.

Laughing - is my all-time favourite thing to do! I want to surround myself with people who make me laugh at all times.

Perfect combo – Cosmo mag, a cup of tea and chocolate. This month’s Cosmo is a cracker, filled with glam buys, beauty tips and tricks and some interesting reads including the interview with the stunning Jen Hawkins!

Week 1 – of Dietlicious. Spring is here and I felt like I needed to spring clean my body (as well as wardrobe). I’m starting my spring clean with a Dietlicious 10 day detox. It’s hard to believe it’s a detox when you’re eating delicious food all the time. Check out my experience with Dietlicious’ 5-day detox here.

Kitchen Quickie – Donna Hay’s Mozzarella and White Bean Bruschetta is the perfect dish for a quick-lunch or lazy dinner! It is unbelievably simple to make and so, so, so delicious! Here’s the recipe.

WIN WIN WIN – Win this gorgeous necklace and set of earrings from Lovisa. Entry details below. RUN and enter.

Painting the town blue – with my nails today! This is just one of the many cute nail colours from Australis. Check out the complete range here.

Ray of sunshine – I am in love with this Heidi Merrick from Frockaholics. I’m coming into wedding and party season and need a new frock. What do you think?

In my bathroom - At the moment I’m trialling Clearasil PerfectaWash – an automatic dispenser that provides the perfect amount of cleanser for your face. Clearasil is no longer targeted at pimply teenagers, and have a new range of products aimed at women (and men) of all ages for preventing and treating pimples and providing visibly clearer skin. Stay tuned for a full review shortly.

Style icon – Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a goddess! Not only is she a knockout, but she’s super stylish and dates the very, very sexy Jason Statham. I love this look – flared jeans, tee and a cropped jacket.
