So we don't celebrate Halloween here in Australia like people in the US... but I like the holiday as people get to dress up and eat candy... so it's completely fun and I decided that I would do my makeup in honour of halloween.

Style Black + D'Squared haul and makeover...

To launch Style Black, Myer Adelaide did makeovers to help promote this new collection. I decided to get a makeover while I was there to do my shopping. This collection was one that I was anticipating for sooo long and couldn't wait to get my hands on! These are the goodies that I got + what I bought from D'Squared and pictures of my makeover below!

Blackfire glimmerglass

Volcanic Ash exfoliator

Black Knight lipstick

V greasepaint stick

B greasepaint stick

214 brush

Cinderfella mineralize eyeshadow

Blue Flame eyeshadow

Both stores in Adelaide and the website were all sold out of Young Punk mineralize eyeshadow so I rung my mum in NZ to see if she could get her hands on one for me. Out of the 3 stores she called only one had it, so I owe her big time for getting it for me... and as far as I can see, it looks like everyones after this shade and is the most popular item from this collection, so THANKYOU so much mum!!! You're the BEST! xx

~ Alice's Last name in the original movie started with D... Making her Name Alice D... Translation: LSD (yes this movie was all about drugs...)

~ Mad-hatters were common in the "old" days... They were called mad-hatters as the people who made them, did so in buildings with wooden floorboards that weren't sealed properly and mercury (from where ever) would fall into these cracks, and over time, these men would breathe the mercury that was in the air making them go crazy...

Lola By Marc Jacobs

I have to admit, I have a bit of a crush on Marc Jacobs... He is one of the *many* men I'd like to go on a date with (promiscuous - no, lusting - yes), so naturally, to get closer to Marc I'll happily try out his perfumes in order to seek one I like in order to say "I smell of Marc Jacobs..." You get my point though, I love the guy. So, I tried this, and was instantly hooked. I like floral scents and yes, I also buy perfumes for the bottle (LOL), and this one is gorgeous! After wearing this for a while to find the bottom note, I notice it is very vanilla-ry. OMG YES! I think I've found the dream perfume! Well, for this summer that is! I love Vanilla and have not found a nice one yet! Well HELLO baby, where have you been all my life. You're mine and I'm taking you home this minute!!

Description: Marc Jacobs Lola is a warm, floral scent with a signature note of fuschia peony. Fruity top notes of pink peppercorn, pear d’anjou and red grapefruit deepen to the fuschia heart, which also contains rose and geranium. Base notes of vanilla, tonka bean and creamy musk finish the scent. The bottle is violet with a curvaceous silhouette and is topped with a unique cap fashioned into a rosette in fuschia, berry and plum.

50ml ~ $120

100ml ~ $160

Body Butter ~ $50

Body Lotion ~ $40
