Loving...Laura Mercier

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free

Limited Edition Nail Lacquer in Cabana

Lip Glace in Bellini

Limited Edition Creme Cheek Colour in Innocent Peach

Second Skin Cheek Colour in Lush Nectarine

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. I've been using the tinted moisterizer oil free version in sand for about a year now. Loving the coverage and ease of application. I apply using my fingers, and do the 5 point and spread from the center of my face outwards. Even with the oil free version I end up looking like a grease monkey by end of day, so a pressed powder to set is still a must along with blotting paper throughout the day.

Found out about the nail polish and innocent peach creame blush watching Rae, and loved the tutorial from Tanya for lush nectarine blush, and bellini lipgloss. As you can tell I'm loving the peaches/corals/pinks right now!

Black Sesame, Yuzu not shown as I ate that with my lunch. Strong Yuzu flavour(think of a mandarin orange) if you like citrus fruits, you'll love this!

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. First thing, secure a seat first before you order! Surprisingly busy throughout our time there...I enjoyed a lovely lunch with my girlfriend, since the Hawksworth finished serving brunch by the time we got there. To our surprise the lunch at Bel Cafe was delish! We enjoyed the soup and half sandwich combo(we were famished hence no pictures). But most importantly, I loved the dessert choices. My favorite: the Rose and Raspberry macaron! With the first bite you taste the rose, once that settles you taste the sweetness and a hint of raspberry. My second favorite was the pistachio...the star however was the Rose and Raspberry. I actually prefer the Bel Cafe even more so than the macarons from Thierry. Try for yourself to find out!

H&M...Marni

100% silk Size 6 $69.95

Came with plastic hanger and garment bag, in H&M shopping bag.

Tradezies for size 2 anyone???

My Verdict: Pass/Praiseworthy. I'm on the fence with this one, you either have to love Marni or not. After $13 for parking and arriving at 9am, only to wait another 1.5 hours to shop I only purchased 1 item. I had my heart set on this top, and when I arrived at 9am I peered in the window and spotted a rack full. After returning at the alotted time this was the last one in size 6. Majority of the accessories and t-shirts were sold out. However the higher tickets items were still left, along with shoes and menswear. When I left at 11, there was a line up. While I love the colors of the top, and the fabric being 100% silk the price is high for the quality of the top.

Readers did anyone pick up anything from the collection?

Library finds...

.50 in like new condition...found at Denman Library

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. Scored a book for .50 whilst at the library the other day. I've had much success at library sales. In the summer I narrowed down a box filled to the brim with books, and purchased the ones below for less than $15! In my stash I found this ancient dictionary and had to purchase it! What history...

Boxful of romance, fiction and a dictionary!

inside dictionary

last pages with images and maps...

Library sales in spring summer, and fall. Books are in like new or used condition.
FYI bring cash, and a friend if you need help lugging and "holding" your books while you peruse the aisles. BTW; it's a mess in there so set aside some time and shop away!

They have books, magazines, cd's, dvd's, language books and dictionaries!
