Shoes Shoes SHOESSS!!!


Hey guys,

So in my last post I said that I had trouble uploading photos on my blog, well I did some researching and hopefully I can put what I learnt to good use. I'm hoping and praying that my photos will stay up. 

Anyway over the last few months I have been on the biggest shoe shopping spree, and I have accumulated some shoes that I would like to share with you all. Some of the shoes I have worn and there are some that I haven't worn just yet. Take a look below to see some of the shoes that I have bought. 



Novo Jackaroo Boots
Out of all the shoes, this one was my latest purchase from Novo. Over the years I have been the biggest fan of Novo shoes, they are comfortable and affordable. I have worn these so much already and I have only had them for about 2 weeks. I am a size 7 and these fit perfectly, they are not heavy and they do not constrict my feet. For a more snuggly fit I wear thin socks, and for more of a fashion statement I also wear floral socks that peak at the top. They look good weather paired with shorts, jeans or even skirts.


Daily Look - Double Platform Heel 
About a month and a half ago I put in an order of shoes and clothes from Daily Look with a friend. These are one of the shoes I ordered and they are amazingly high! The heels is 5.75 inches high and trust me they give you the extra height. I have not yet worn them out yet but I am looking forward to taking them out and seeing how long I can last with them on. Over the past week or so I have worn them around the house to stretch them a little, and my feet have become accustomed to the shape of the shoe. 



Daily Look - Colour Block Ombre Pumps
These were the other shoes I ordered from Daily Look. They have a beautiful ombre colour change which is beautiful with any skin tone. I found the different cut to the shoe very interesting, it gives the illusion that your legs are longer by extending the length of your foot. With a 4.25 inch heel this shoe is perfect for everyday wear weather it be to the office or to run errands. I have worn these heels out before and they look amazing with white jeans as they act as a statement piece to your feet.


Tony Bianco Heels
Ok so these are the last pair of shoes that I have purchased, and they are from Tony Bianco. I'm not too sure what they are called because I bought them from a sale outlet warehouse. They are a very nice nude coloured heel, with straps and a buckle to the side. I usually don't buy shoes that are peep toe, however when I tried these on I knew I had to buy them. They were so comfortable and very easy to walk in. I can't wait to wear them in the summer time, they are perfect for day or night wear and also appropriate for any occasion be it a wedding, birthday or just a night out.

So those were the shoes that I have recently bought, I really hoped you all enjoyed reading about them and got some inspiration of your own. I may do another post about shoes in a few months time when I have accumulated more shoes. In the meantime keep an eye out for some beauty and fashion posts that will be coming up soon.

Until next time

P.s. I really hope the photos come up this time.

Photo issues

Hey guys,

So after I posted my last post I thought it turned out pretty good. However when I went back to it the next day I noticed that the picture that I had uploaded just vanished. I tried and tried to get it back but failed... kinda bummed out that it won't be coming back.

I apologise greatly because you guys can't see the picture, however I do hope that the mini reviews of the products were enough for you to get a picture of what the product is actually about.

I will try and continue to put up pictures, I actually have a small fashion haul that I would like to upload but I'm not sure if the pictures will come up properly. If anyone is able to help me in any way so that the pictures won't disappear it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again guys

Until next time
Love Jen xx

Benefit Skincare Sample Pack Review

Hey guys

So long time no post, I guess I have been busy with Uni and work. Ahh..... the life of a student, what fun it is (not haha).

Anyway so the other week I went to Myer to do some shopping, apart from just getting a few pieces for winter and the upcoming summer I managed to drop by the Benefit counter for a little look at what was new. I picked up one of their skin care sample packs for $25 which I though was a huge bargain. The pack came with a small sample of each of their skincare products and have lasted for over 2 weeks for me.


Benefit skincare sample pack
In this pack you get:

  • The Foamingly Clean Face Wash - This wash was quite good, I enjoyed using this product as it left my skin feeling squeaky clean and quite bright afterwards. It had a very pleasant scent to it, I can't describe the smell very well, but to me it smelt like a very floral perfume. Overall I really enjoyed using this product and would purchase the full size product. 
  • The Moisture Prep Toning Lotion - At the Benefit counter the lady who served me said that it would replace me normal toner and I would use it by rubbing a small amount into my skin after cleansing. This product was quite runny and when applied to the skin was very sticky even after drying. I didn't quite enjoy this toner as my face was very uncomfortable after the application, however it did have a nice smell to it just like the cleanser. 
  • The Total Moisture Facial Cream - This is the larger tub at the top. My skin is quite oily and the lady at Benefit said that I could use this product at night as an extra moisturiser as this cream is designed for people with dry skin. Although I haven't used this product as much I do find that during the colder nights it does help with the extra boost of hydration for my skin. 
  • The It's Potent Eye Cream - This is the smaller tub at the bottom. This is one of my favourite eye creams, I have used this many times because I do have the full size product. I have been using this product for many months before every day and night and was excited to see it in this sample pack. I defiantly will be repurchasing this product again when I finish my tub. It leaves the under eye area feeling bright and awake in the mornings. 
  • The Triple Performing Facial Emulsion - The lady at the Benefit counter told me that this facial cream was designed for people with more oilier skin types. I am on the fence about this product, when first applied to my skin it was quite sticky and a little greasy, however given an hour or so it looks quite nice and there is no more oil on my face. I'm not too sure if I would buy this product again as there are other facial creams that work better for my skin. 
  • Finally we have The Refined Finish Facial Polish - This product was amazing! It exfoliated my skin very well with just a small amount. It had a great scent to it and the small beads in the product was not too harsh on the face. When rinsed off it left my face feeling brighter than what it was and just fresh. I would defiantly buy the full size product. 
Overall this was a very good trial size to test the products out and see if it was worth buying the full sized products. I quite enjoyed this pack and the samples were quite generous, I used the pack for a good 2 weeks and there is till product left over. You don't need all that much on your face and when finished your left with a nice smelling face. 

Not only can this be used as a trial pack but if you are familiar with the skin care line this pack is very good for travel and would pass airport security easily. It also came with a small clear pouch which I didn't need, but other out there may use it to store makeup or other knick knacks. 

To wrap things up I give this pack a 8/10 and would recommend it to anyone who would like to try out Benefit's skincare line. 

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your week and tune in again soon for another post. 

Until next time
Love Jen xx
