marie claire 15th Anniversary edition update

Hi Everyone,

I forgot to mention in my last post that the magazine also comes with an Estee lauder lipgloss!!!!!!!!!! It's in the colour "Passion Fruit" and it's a shimmer pure colour gloss. It smells AMAZING and I'm inlove with it! The only downside for me is that I prefer none shimmery, but it's a fairly fine shimmer so It's not so bad.

Anyway, I entered almost every competition in the magazine (my poor phone bill is crying now) and almost every competition on the website so if I don't win anything after all that I'll be a little upset, lol. But just my luck I probably won't win anything! lol

I'll let you all know though and If I do get anything I will DEFINITELY be doing some product reviews!

marie claire magazine - GIVEAWAYS AND COMPETITIONS!!!

Hi Everyone,

The other day I bought the current edition of marie claire magazine and it's the 15th anniversary edition. So it's the size of a medium length novel in my opinion and is CHOCABLOCK full of amazing articles, fashion pages, my favourite part - lots of makeup pages, and the best part - LOADS of competitions and giveaways!!!!!!!

So the competitions mainly consist of "Win everything on this page" type giveaways which include alot of hair and makeup products and all you have to do is end a text msg to enter the competition - how easy is that!!!!! There are aso a few other competitions such as a voucher where you have to spend 40 dollars at Witchery and you receive some sort of gift upto - i think it was - $1000, but every voucher has at least $20 worth of prizs on it.

I think this is the most excited I've been about a magazine probably in my whole life and I am DEFINITELY going to enter EVERY competition - so if I win anything I will blog about it and maybe do some reviews!!

So if youre in Australia - GO OUT AN BUY IT...it's only $9.20!!

First Post and Intro

Hi!

This is my first post ever, so i thought I'd start with a little intro for myself.

My name is Courtney and I'm a born and raised Australian. I live in South Australia with my fiance and our 2 dogs and cat. Currently I work in an office job, but that's just to save up for our wedding and honeymoon next April!! But as soon as we get back from that I will be doing a makeup course that I've already picked out and can't wait to start!

I have loved makeup since I was a little girl and have always loved playing with it and doing my own and other poeple's make up. I love the creativity and they way makeup can change a person's look completely or can be used to sinmply enhance a person's natural beauty or conceal problems to make them more confident!

I plan to make this blog partly about beauty and make-up, partly about "hauls" as the American's say (that's a word I've never used until I started watching videos on youtube - we don't reall use the word here in Aus.), and then also partly just any other general life things I feel like talking about and than poeple might beinterested in.

So I also plan to start making youtube videos, but I think I'll start with the blog and go from there:-)

I look forward to sharing my thoughts and ideas with you all!!
