Drugstore Delights | Revlon Parfumerie - China Flower & African Tea Rose

Revlon released a new range recently, called Parfumerie. It's a collection of scented polishes. When Target had a buy one get one free sale recently, I thought I would pick up two - African Tea Rose and China Flower.

I love the bottle shape! It's adorable and luxe, with it's cute little rounded handle. If you can see above, I had them in my bag when I knocked it really hard against something by accident, cracking the corner of China Flower. (insert sad face.)

Ah well, what's more important is the polish inside it! How did I find them?

Haul | Priceline 40% off cosmetics sale

Priceline have 40% off cosmetics for today and tomorrow only. There's been a few things on my wishlist lately, so off I went... to four Pricelines.

The first one I went to was a small store and it was so packed that I just grabbed what I could reach and left. The second one was sold out of a shade I was after, and the third one was where I got most of what I needed. It was only in the fourth one that I finally got an eyeliner in a neutral shade, instead of bright blue ones.

So what did I managed to grab after all that running around?

Midweek Mani Mayhem | Easing into gradients & accents

I noticed there was a Monday Manicure hashtag on Twitter, and thought I'd be different and do a Midweek Mani instead. I'm so original, you guizzz.

I saw a mani recently, where their accent nails were their index and middle finger. I always did my thumbs and ring fingers as the accent, so I thought I'd try it out and see if I like it. While I was at it, I thought I'd do a gradient on my ring and pinky, too.

To be honest, I'm not really sure if I like my accent nails being the index and middle! 

I do like the gradient. It's so subtle, you can't tell how horribly inexperienced I am with the technique. It's really easy to do, but needs some practice. The Nailasaurus has some amazing ones, and she has a great tutorial on how to do it, too! I used Essie - Da Bush as a base and dabbed Revlon - Graceful on the tips.

The index and middle finger are an indie polish, Librarian's Shush by Femme Fatale, which has a lovely formula, making it very easy to apply. No dabbing occurred here! If you live in Australia, you can purchase it from their website, otherwise, they have a range of international stockists.

Do you do accent nails?

Do you like it or find it funny?

Taylor Swiftin' it up | Black floppy hats & red lips with MAC, YSL & Revlon

Now, I have never been the type to wear red lipstick, even though I have an abundance of them. I used to think that red lips were just... too sexy for me. But damn it, something just feels so right when I put on my black floppy hat and wear it with red lipstick. 

Maybe it's the Taylor Swift fan girl in me, who knows. (Yes, might as well confess, guys, I love her. And thanks to the internet, I now sing and bleat like a goat to I Knew You Were Trouble.)

I have been loving wearing these three red lipsticks in the past couple of weeks. (Well, okay, the Revlon isn't technically a lipstick...)
