Fashion Weekend HAUL!!!

Hello everyone!!!

On the weekend just passed i attended Fashion Weekend, which was fabulous! I went with one of my friends and we had such a good time.

For those of you who don't know what fashion weekend is, basically what happens is that over 4 days (Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday) an event is held for anyone to attend and basically you buy your tickets and turn up whatever time you wish then you can attend fashion shows and afterwards they have heaps of designers selling affordable clothes, shoes, skincare, makeup and accessories!

So i got there on Saturday and had booked tickets for an 11:00 fashion show. We arrived at about 10:15 and pottered around to see what designers were there and what kind of things we wanted to do once we had attended the fashion show. At 11:00 we sat in our seats and watch the catwalk. Some of the designers included Nicola Fenetti, Ginger & Smart and about 5 others.

After the fashion show had finished we went to the napoleon makeup hub where you could get your makeup done for $40 then redeem it in products which i did and it was really fun and interesting to see what products etc. they used on my skin. The guy who did my makeup asked about my skin type, what sort of coverage i wanted and what kind of makeup i wanted. I asked for a medium coverage makeup with a natural smokey eye and a colourful lip. He put on a really great foundation followed by concealer etc. and her used maroons and browns on my eyes which looked really good. Then he asked if i wanted lipstick, lipgloss or both and i ask for lipstick so he put on the gorgeous orange/red lipstick that was just incredible!

**For the products i bought, because it was at fashion weekend the prices were discounted therefore they may not be availble for the same price.**

I bought quite a fair bit on makeup at the Napoleon makeup hub and a few pieces of clothing:

- Napoleon  Perdis Lipstick, in the colour Noosa. This is the one the makeup artist applied and i just adore it! It doesn't dry out the lips and stay for a long time so its good for an everyday or evening lip. Its like an orange/red and its bright which is really fun!

- Napoleon Perdis Bronze set, in the colour baked powder.  I find it really ahrd finding the perfect bronzer for my skin because my skin is really fair but this one is perfect because it is matte and doesn't gon on heavy so it really easy to build up. It gives a really natural broze and is also good for contouring.


- Napoleon Perdis Champagne set palette. He used a few of the eye shadows in this pallette on me and i really liked them. They are nicely pigmented and theres a good variety of products in there. It has eyeshadow, blush, lipgloss and a few small brushes


- Napoleon Perdis Shimmer highlight duo in the colours bronze/gold. I got this set for spending over $60 and its actually really nice. Because the colour look so profound i thought it would be really over the top but the colours are really subtle and give a really nice highlight when applying this to the cheek and brow bone.

- Otto Mode Beige dress. I thought this dress was a bit dull when i first saw it but the style and cut was really cute so i tried it on, at the time i had a gold necklace and it looked really nice so i thought i could always jazz it up with some colour or cute accessories. It fits really nicely and would be good for spring or autumn with a coast


- Sage black skirt. This is such a cute skirt. It wouldn't normally be something i could be hunting for but i saw it and thought it had a really nice shape and cut and it fitted really nicely. When i am going to america for part of my trip i am going with school and i am restricted in what i can wear so i thought this would be good to wear fro that and also any other time.


- Sage Blouse. My friend saw this blouse but it wasn't her size so she gave it to me to try on and it fitted really nicely and i thought the colours were really good for everyday. I love this style blouse and will definitely wear this a lot.


- Sage shoulder bag in brown/tan/ I love this bag! I really wanted to get a nice shoulder bag while i was at fashion weekend and i thought this would be perfect because its a really versatile colour and have heaps of space inside. I don't own any shoulder bags that are suitable so i think this one will be great for everyday.


- Gingham & Heels disco pants. I was so glad i found a pair of these normally at american apparell they have the same ones for $80 but i got these for $20 which is amazing! as i was waiting for the change room i was getting so nervous they wouldn't fit because they were the last pair, but they are amazing and are perfect length and everything!


So that is all i got from fashion weekend! I had the best time and can't wait until next year!!

Keep Dreaming xox
