Frocktober- this is a great cause

2010-09-30T17:23:00.000-07:00

Frocktober

Frocktober is a festive fundraising initiative aiming to raise funds for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF).Through fun – and sometimes quirky – measures, Frocktober is all about:

Increasing the public’s awareness of ovarian cancer.
Promoting women’s health and wellbeing.
Celebrating the great diversity of shapes, sizes and colours women come in.

Essentially, Frocktober puts forward a challenge to girls, women and interested men far and wide:
To don a frock for a day, week, fortnight or a full month during October, and get sponsored for it!
So, be it borrowed, second-hand, vintage, home-made, your granny’s or that great dress you’ve just never had the right occasion to wear… get creative, get it on and get frocking with your sponsorships, all of which will be donated to the OCRF.
So dust off the Singer, stocktake your closet and hit the op shops, as this year October is Frocktober… open up your hearts and wardrobes – it’s a frockin’ good cause!
For any queries please contact us at frocktober@gmail.com

Pass this onto your friends please!

It has been a long time since I updated the blog..and well there has been a lot going in my our business and my life..so I hope you will keep reading. Life sometimes takes over everything and does not allow us to do the things we love the most....ill health is usually one such problem and that has been the case here. Not my ill health but within the family and it has taken all my time and strength to be supportive and kepp the business going..so not time to blog at all.

Anyway, things have now improved and there is some new product offerings from Lime Crime with more to come in the next few months.

I hope enjoy seeing the new packaging from Lime Crime, it is so cute and it now matches the Unicorn Lipstick cases.

The other exciting new is that the makeup is no Vegan Friendly and has always been Gluten free which is so important for a lot of people.

There are new colours as well and the one we love the best is Mischief Managed, do you think it is cute? We do..

Please let me know what you think of the colours and the music! It is Doe Deere the creator of the Lime Crime brand.

Friday & the Movies

2010-05-27T15:06:00.000-07:00

Well here we are it is the end of the week and we have a busy Friday with lots of packages to get into the post and then we are looking after our beautiful little guy Caelan. Caelan is 2 years old and very cute. He is coming to spend a few hours later today so his big sister Jordyn and her Mum can go the movies to see Wog Boys. I look forward to hearing the review of the movie, it sounds like a bit of fun.

I am hearing that the Sex in the City movie is not all that good? Have you heard? Post your review on that one if you have seen it or Wog Boys please as it might save me a trip to the movies!

Do movies inspire you to go out and do things? What I mean is if you see Sex in the City do you feel like you need to go out shopping for new gear, makeup or shoes? I find that I can be influenced by movies...sometimes..not always. Love to hear if you did something out of the ordinary after seeing a movie?

See I would love to rush out and buy an outfit like this! These are shots of Sarah Jessica Parker from the London premier of the movie

Sex In The City New Movie Trailers

Here is the latest update from the girls in the Sex In the City movies. I hope all you fashion junkies can get your fill from these movies! They are inspiring with the way they wear their fashion and if your smart you can get the look for a lot less than the real things.

We would love to hear how you keep up with the girls and fashion and where you buy you bargins from.

Oh by the way did anyone watch ACA this week, I did and have to say I will be paying closer attention to the Op Shops from now on. Do you shop at Op shops, have you got a story to share with our readers? Tell us about you fashion and Op Shop successes.

Cheers

This is the latest from the Lime Crime Makeup company and it is intended to help the training that the SpaceNK staff in the United Kingdom and the New York stores will undertake as they launch the Lime Crime brand.

Lime Crime recently launched across Canada in the Urban Outfitters stores and sold out within 24 hours which is a pretty outstanding result. We will watch the launch in New York as the very famous Australian Lipstick Queen Poppy King will introduce Doe in the Space NK store in New York.

False Eye Lashes

2010-04-06T17:52:00.000-07:00

I have always loved False Eye Lashes and wondered the other day where they actually came from in the first instance so I went looking for the history of these favorite little things. I loved the looks created by Twiggy and Mary Quant years back in the 60's!

Guess what?

I found the history of who and where they were created, so read on. The next installment will me a tutorial on how to apply these little treasures as they are not an expensive item to buy, but you do need to apply them correctly..so check back for the next installment.

The History of False Eyelashes

Beauty legend has it that American movie director D.W. Griffith designed the first set of false eyelashes. While creating a motion picture in 1916, he wanted his leading lady to have lashes so long they graced her cheeks when she blinked or looked down thoughtfully.
A wig maker set to work creating the lashes out of human hair and gauze, and the result was movie magic. Unfortunately the film itself was not, and the screenplay became forgettable. However, the false lashes were remembered to the misfortune of Griffith who never formally made a claim to their fame and had his idea simulated, stolen, and altered in the decades to come.
Since 1916, there have been plenty of leading ladies and celebrities who used false eyelashes. Twiggy is an example of someone in the public spotlight who used falsies in the way that they were intended. Others unfortunately have not, picture Tammy Faye Baker & Liza Minnelli for example. False eyelashes are almost an art when it comes to appropriate use and application, therefore it takes time and patience to learn the trade.

Great looks created with the addition of false eye lashes.

2010-04-04T03:39:00.000-07:00

Amy is a very experienced Beauty Reviewer. (not sure if beauty reviewer is grammatically correct?) Amy regularly posts her Beauty reviews on You Tube and also on You Tube for Bellaboo Skincare. Amy is well worth watching for her regular releases. Le me know what you think? Amy will be completing a full review of Lime Crime, so check back soon for a full independent review of more colours and hear what she has to say about Lime Crime and many other brands of makeup.

Deal not to be missed!

2010-04-02T16:13:00.000-07:00

Get onto this one before stock runs out, these are great mid sized brushes, so soft and yet they do a brilliant job of applying and blending your makeup. These will work just as well as brushes you may spend $20.00 to $60.00 on for a fraction of the price.

How can we sell them at this amazing price? We buy end lots direct from China, that's how!
