OOTD and FOTD - European Winters

Haven't done an outfit post in a while!! 

This was from Wednesday, when it was FREEEEEEZING cold and I had to trek it down to Wollongong for a 2 hour Chinese exam (which I was 45 minutes late for - FUCK YOU shittyrail!!)

Please excuse the dodgy bathroom shots. 

I tried to fix it and make it less obvious with my less-than-fantastic photo editing skills...

Wearing:

• LEE jeans
• ASOS Coat
• Dotti jumper
• Glassons skivvy (can't see)
• Miss Shop beanie

Neutral-y make up. 

Wearing Max Factor Lipfinity Lip Tint. 

My hair is so ugly at this length. DESPERATE for a hair cut. 

I'm so skint at the moment though, and so time-poor. I hate you uni :(

What are your tricks for staying warm in these freezing temps?

I Do!!

Sad to say, I didn't make it to the rally this morning. 

You know what's so messed up though? When I was 14 and in year 9, I was at rallies at Town Hall for the EXACT SAME THING. 

This should not even still be a topic for discussion.

(nearly) Wordless Wednesday...

How crazy has the weather been lately?

1) view from the window next to my desk yesterday
2 & 3) crazy waves at beaches along the south coast witnessed from my train ride this morning. I've never seen the water get so white and foamy!
4) wind broke our window. DIY fix FTW.
5) ducks at uni loving the rain
6) keep on studyin'

Product Review: Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips

Yesterday I may have spent some more money at Priceline...

No doubt I will update on the other products in a later post....

Cailin had been asking me for a while about whether I'd read much about the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Strips, and to be honest I'd never really looked into it. But there was a sale on yesterday, buy 2 get 1 free, so I thought I'd try them out. 

I bought Sticks and Stones (on the right) and Fingerlace Gloves (on the left). 

In a bid of procrastination, I tried out Sticks and Stones last night..

PROS

• It looks fucking sick. 
• It comes with a little nail file which is colour coded so the instructions can explain how to use it. There's a rough part (hot pink), a rough-but-smoother part (light pink), and a side that's for buffing before putting the strips on. (white). I love that the instructions were so easy to follow with this. 
• One nail strip had enough for two nails. 
• They're supposed to last like 2 weeks. Obviously I only put mine on last night, so no review as to life-span yet. Will update later! 
• Because they take no time to dry, they're quicker to apply than nailpolish! 
• Also - love that there's no need for a base or top coat!
• I love that each nail gets a different pattern - it creates for an overall funkier, edgier look. 

CONS

• Although it came with instructions, it was a bit tricky to put them on for the first time. After the first few nails though, it wasn't difficult at all. 
• I have square nails so I had to peel off some bits around the edges to make it fit properly. This had to be done very carefully, as I was scared the whole thing would come off (which it didn't. Applying pressure to the strip helped it bind to my nail again)
• The light pink side of the nail file was for trimming the excess off the nail when applying it. I couldn't get it to do that though, so carefully tore it. 
• Although it's great the strips come in different sizes, the "thumb" sizes are just way too big, so I probably won't get to use them. This meant I ran out of strips for my pinky nail and my thumb nail (see above photo). I'm sure though that if I do it again properly and account for this, I will have enough. 
• The price. It's a little hard to justify spending =/= $16 for them...If you were going to try them, I'd try looking online because now that I have looked, they're about $6 overseas. 

VERDICT

I LOVEEEE these!! They look awesome, and so far have help up well.
