I love Facebook ads. It gives you the opportunity to discover brands and websites based on your interests and likes.

This is how I found Vanilla Frosting.

Vanilla Frosting is a costume jewellery online store using sterling silver and precious gems to make classic pieces for any special occasion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is an Australian based brand and the pieces are quite elegant. I like how it sparkles! They mention on the website that their pieces are vintage inspired. I see the pieces with a pretty gown

They do international shipping and all the prices are in Australian dollars.

Check it out for your next party!

 

 

 

Coolest Find of the month – July

Sorry that I have been away for so long! It’s been a combination of laziness, life stress and socialcam addiction.

Not to worry because I have a friend from socialcam that showed off his Remix Watch and I was instantly intrigued. Basically he was showing off his outfit of the night which included this watch that lights up with different colours. It’s a flashing LED light and perfect to make a statement in the clubs. I absolutely love the idea of my watch flashing ALL the colours so I had to check it out.

The great thing about this watch is that you can pop out the face of the watch and switch it over to another coloured band. That means over 100 colour combinations! It’s also unisex and waterproof.

There are currently 2 different sets on sale. The time bomb collection features the standard face with LED illumination. There is currently 12 different bands on offer with prices US$44.95-$49.95.

The Rox collection features the analog face with encrusted Swarovski crystals. I personally liked this collection more as I liked the crystals on the face of the watch. It comes in 11 colours at US$54.95. I bought a pink and white watch from this collection.

In addition to this, Remix Watches currently have their plain bands on special for US$9.95 down from $19.95. In order to mix up your watches, you’d have to buy a few plain bands. I bought black, purple and red to mix with my pink and white faces.

I managed to find a discount code that worked – FOLLOW25. This gave me 25% off the total and somehow managed to score free shipping to Australia. The store is based in the US and it states free domestic shipping so wasn’t sure if my total was a mistake but I’ll take it!

Will most likely post some vids up on my socialcam when I receive the watches. Am very excited and thought it was a reasonably priced watch with a funky look.

Hope you liked this watch special! I think it’s a good gift idea if you are stuck for a present :)

Pistachio or maybe Mint?

Following with the nail polish trends, I bring to you Pistachio or Mint

I think it’s a great Autumn and Spring colour. It’s a good neutral and pastel tone that I believe would go well with flowy skirts and girly dresses. I am currently wearing this colour and it’s not over the top and looks like a soft colour.

The nail polishes listed above from left to right are:

Essie brings the shade “Navigate Her” and costs $8 directly from their site. I did find this on Amazon for $4.96 from the seller Essie so you can grab it for a little cheaper.

Priti NYC offers”Dusty Miller” which is a really soft and paler green. It costs $12.50 directly from their website or Bloom and ships internationally.

This YSL nail polish is part of a manucure couture duo for $30. This is the mint green and could be found at Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom but they are currently out of stock. Finding this on Ebay is pretty easy too.

RGB offer “Dew” for $16 directly off their website. It does say out of stock but their Amazon store does sell it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some other cool finds I managed to find:

China Glaze offers Re-Fresh Mint. I couldn’t find this being sold directly off the website but found this on Ulta and Soap.com for $7 for US customers but Amazon sells it for $4.95 it from seller GENERAL – SUPPLY. This is a really soft and creamy colour.

I really like the nail polish because its pastel green with gold and green glitter. This is $10 from Etsy Seller Wonder Beauty Products. This colour is Aphrodisiac Minty Green. I like it because it’s been specially made and is unique in it’s colour set.

OPI offer Go on Green! which Beauty Bay offered for approx. $15 but found this by Amazon seller rock and glamorize for $2. It is a bit brighter than soft mint.

Revlon offer Minted that can be found at your local beauty and health store or pharmacy. I did find this on the Walgreens website for $5.49, Drugstore.com for $4.99 or Amazon seller Simply Savvy LLC for $2.46.

Duri Cosmetics offer Pistachio for $5. This can be bought directly off their website and ships internationally. Still a soft green and creamy but has a slightly different green tinge from that listed above.

Picked this up from a local chemist for $2. Ulta 3 offer Lagoon which is on the brighter side than the other nail polishes listed. This is a shiny metallic green but I believe it is still light pistachio coloured. This is the nail polish I am currently wearing.

Filthy Gorgeous London currently having a sale with this Rich Jade Green for £4.50. This has a slight blue tinge to the colour but to me still gives off the soft mint tone. The cool bottle is a bonus too! :) I couldn’t find anywhere else that sold this particular colour other than the direct website.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope that this colour gets you thinking about trying a soft, cool coloured nail polish. I think it is very cute and suits all skin tones. I think it’s one of those colours that you can wear all year round. This looks to be a good trend for 2012 – I wouldn’t have really thought about this colour until I went online to check out the trends.

Hope you like it :)

So I thought I would share how much costume Jewellery I have. I think it’s important for every girl to have lots of it because it means you are read for any occasion.

Here is the main view:

I actually have more than that with some items on the floor of that room. Hehe. Some will say that’s too many accessories. I say it’s not enough. I always buy accessories on sale so the cheaper it is, it means the more I can buy right?

My favorite item that cost me $5 – down from $40 – from Diva is this bracelet:

So there you have it, my girly girl collection. Can’t wait to buy more!
