Clinique Lip Gloss


I am not a big fan of makeup, I rarely wear it and when I do bit's the bare minimum (read lip gloss, eye shadow and mascara). But for a long time I have been in love with Clinique's Full Potential Lip Gloss. They come in a range of colours, from the barely there Pink Champagne to the deep purple of Blackberry Bloom. I wear it every day to combat my cracked lips and the deeper shades for "something special" when I venture out at night.

Papersoruce: Beautiful Paper and Stationary



Ever since researching while preparing for our wedding in 2007, I have fallen in love with stationary, in all varieties and colours. One place in particular that I love (and where we ended up getting our informal invitations from) is Paper source: http://www.paper-source.com/




Not only do they have a variety of invitations that you can order and print yourself, they also have a variety of other cute (and useful) stationary and paper items.





We used invitations with a similar style to these, for our post wedding party dinner in Christchurch.







And I just love their variety of cute and funky note cards.
The only issue is, last time I checked, that they don't post internationally :(

Paspaley Pearls

I was never really into pearls, I was much more of a diamonds are my best friend type of girl. That was until DH went on a 4WD trip to Cape York and came back with a beautiful gold South Sea Pearl for me. Ever since then I have dreamed of owning a strand of South Sea Pearls, and Paspaley has just the thing. http://www.paspaleypearls.com/english/home.htm


I do tend to lean towards the gold colour pearl strands, however due to DH's Cook Island collection and the beautiful black pearls they produce it does create a dilemma, if I ever did find myself with the opportunity......




So what do you think? Gold, Black or the original and classy White?
