Bioré Release Steam Activated Cleanser


I've been using the Bioré Release Steam Activated Cleanser every day for a few days now, and I'm in love with it! If you know me, you know I'm in love with scrubs and cleansers, and my shower is full of them!

This cleanser is really thick and creamy, and the smell is so beautiful! Every time I use it, I can smell the gorgeous green tea scent and I am taken away to another world! What I really like about this one is that it doesn't lather up too much and isn't overly soapy, like some cleansers can be. It's soft and creamy instead, it almost feels as though you're putting moisturiser on your face!

Once you massage it into your skin, you begin to feel a pleasant tingle, which to me always means - it's working! Usually I use soap and then a cleanser, but I've been using the cleanser by itself and it has made such a difference to my skin! It removes all the excess oil (and there is a lot of excess!) but keeps my skin smooth and supple!

Afterwards, it made me feel unbelievably clean! No tightness that dry skin usually gets after a good cleanse, but no oily residue which can sometimes be left behind by soapy products. Just clean and fresh! I've been using this in my shower every night and it's so relaxing, but doesn't make me sleepy (that's what my night serum is for!) which is a great thing if you're using it in the morning instead.

I would definitely repurchase this beauty, and at $10.99, it's a pretty fair price. You only need one pump to get enough product, so this will last me a long time! So far so good, I'm really pleased with the results, and I'm looking forward to clear and clean skin!

Have you tried this cleanser before?

This product was provided to me for consideration. :)

Swisspers Nail Polish Remover Pads



After a suggestion from my friend, I decided to give the Swisspers Nail Polish Remover Pads a go! She really wants to try them, but she wants a review first! So she came to me! Aw, I'm touched!

I picked up this box from my local Coles for $4.99. I took it home, opened the box, and guess what - empty. That's right. For those of you who read my blog, you'll know I've had a similar experience with an Ulta3 nail polish, which led to me receiving three gorgeous colours from the lovely people over at the Heat Group. I must be cursed! I took it back to the store and received a replacement (even though they were so suspicious. But hey, I would be too) and brought it home to try it! 
I did tell Swisspers, but unfortunately no response. I fear it may have been a thief in the store rather than a Swisspers problem though.



Silly me realised the box was a lot heavier with an actual pot inside, I just somehow thought the pads would be in the box. Not sure what I was thinking there! At first I thought 36 sounded like a bit of a rip off, but when I opened the pot, I realised 36 was actually a lot! They were all stacked up, soaking, waiting to be used! They smelt like the usual nail polish remover, not too strong. I was happy they were acetone free, too!


This is one of the pads. Good sized, very wet! A little bit tricky to use with your hands, as it makes your hands wet. They say no mess - which I guess is good if you're a spiller when it comes to the acetone bottle, but this is a little bit messy too! I'm not complaining though, it's definitely a bit easier than using a bunch of cotton balls!


This was the result after a few nails. It worked surprisingly well, but did take me a little bit longer than it usually would using cotton balls. 



This was the end result. Two hands, 10 nails in total! By the end it did get a bit dry, as expected, but did the job wonderfully! Like I said, it did take a bit longer than it would using cotton balls, but I was wearing shatter over normal nail polish, which always takes a little longer to remove. I also ended up using the same pad for my toe nails. I was wearing glitter, and it removed it well enough with no residue.

So overall, I think these are a great idea, especially for travel or in your handbag. I'll be using them for those purposes, but when I'm at home I'll probably stick to the cotton ball and polish remover, so I don't waste these beauties for when I really need them! Final verdict? I'd repurchase them, it's a nifty little product!

Weekend Haul





So the weekend is over which means it's time for me to show you my weekend Haul! Not a lot, but still so much money! Four lovely products (would have been five but oh well... read below!) I get to show off!


Firstly on Friday afternoon I went to Melbourne CBD with some friends, and talked myself into going into Mecca - just to browse. Of course I walked out with the new Too Faced Summer Eye palette, for a whopping $59.95 - as this pretty thing is not yet available on Beautybay.com! I just couldn't help myself! 


I also picked up a Kit Nail Strips set in "Lace It Up!" I've never actually tried these before, but I have been desperately lusting over the lace pattern, so I knew I had to try this! This set contains 20 nail strips, which means you can wear these twice, and at only $9.95, I was pleased!


I also received the Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual in the post on Monday! I was very pleased as I ordered it Thursday night, it came so fast! I ordered this little beauty from Booktopia.com.au, for only $23.95! I opted for the cheaper option, as instead of buying hardback, I purchased paperback. The shipping was also fairly cheap, so it ended up costing me $30 altogether, less than the hardback copy!



On Friday I also received my package from Sigma. I took the plunge and purchased the Limited Edition Paris Palette! This palette is actually huge! I expected it to be tiny and hand-sized, but it was actually bigger and contained two brushes, an eye brush and a blush brush! I was so pleased!

I also ordered the Essentials Kit in "Make Me Blush" however somehow my order must have been  mixed up, and I was sent the travel set instead, much to my disappointment. I was planning on gifting the set, however since I'll have to buy a new present in the mean time, the set will become mine! I guess I am happy about that, as I already have the Essentials Kit in black and it's just gorgeous, I'd love it in pink too! At least, when they fix the problem.


Overall, this has caused me to basically break my budget for a while now. I'm going to try and plan a No Spend June, but we'll see how long that lasts. I just can't resist a sale!

So, hope you liked my little haul! Have you tried any of these gorgeous products?

Beauty Blogger Tag



Hello ladies! I saw this gorgeous tag on Boho Vanity and just had to steal it from the gorgeous Jordan! Check out her page, it's amazing!

So, on to the questions!



1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
My hair is naturally straight with a bit of a wave, which is annoying sometimes!


2. What is your natural hair color?
Naturally, I'm blonde! But over time it turned kind of dark blonde and I didn't like it, so I dyed it brown, then I dyed it black.


3. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?
I usually just dye it myself. If I want something fancy I'll go to the salon but it's just far too expensive for me these days!


4. How often do you wash your hair?
My hair gets so oily that I have to wash it every two days, but lately I've been trying to avoid that and just use dry shampoo!


5. Do you wear the same style every day or change it?
I change it occasionally. I like wearing my hair wavy, sometimes I straighten it, and on rare occasions I'll curl it! If I can be bothered!

6. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?
I've never been to a salon for that! I do it all myself, only because I've heard so many horror stories and I'm so particular and careful with my nails. Although I'd love to go sometime!


7. How often to you change your nail polish?
Once I see it starting to chip and peel, I sometimes put a shatter over it, or a glitter to cover, but once that stares to wear, I'll change.


8. Do you polish your toes in the winter, too or just in the summer?
I'm so bad with my toes, I hardly even do them in summer time! I'm trying so hard to change that though, as I love the look of painted toenails! 


9. How long does it take to put on your makeup?
It probably takes me 10 - 20 minutes depending on what I'm doing. Day to day will take me 10 minutes but if I'm experimenting and doing something fancy it will take me a little longer.


10. What do you do first? Face or eyes?
I always do my face first, which can end up a bit frustrating if I'm doing something fancy with my eyes!


11. Do you "collect" makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?
I collect. I'm ashamed!


12. How often do you wear false eyelashes?
Practically never! I'm so terrible at putting them on, I'm almost a bit scared of them. But I really love them!


13. Do you do a full face of makeup every day?
Usually, I like to look sexy for my boyfriend haha! Mostly for work though!

14. Do you wear makeup when you are home alone (or with family)?
I'll do maybe tinted moisturiser or something light, if it's just me and my boyfriend. 


15. Will you leave the house without makeup?
I will but usually I don't. My daily routine begins with a shower, and then make-up so if I decide to go out, it's already on for work later.


16. How many high end products do you have?
Depends on how "high-end" you would class my stuff!


17. How often do you wash your makeup brushes?
I'm so bad at this, and it's no wonder I break out! I've only washed my professional set once! I'm trying really hard to get into the habit of washing them every two or so weeks.


18. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you are getting dressed?
I used to plan it out all the time but the weather is so strange, I just wait until the morning and see what it's like.

19. How often do you change your handbag?
All the time, I love mixing and matching!


20. What time do you get up & go to sleep?
I go to sleep about 5:30am and get up around midday. Yay for night shifts!


21. How often & when do you workout?
I'm so bad at this. Never? I feel disgusting saying that. I'm trying, I promise!


22. Left-handed or Right-handed?
Right handed!


23. How tall are you?
Too short!


24. Do you speak a foreign language?
Not fluently, no. 


25. How many pets do you have?
My puppy Lady and my fishy Ponyo.


26. How often are you on Blogger?
I try to go on every day as I love it, but it's hard to get on on the weekends!


27. Do you read the comments posted blogs?
I love reading other peoples comments (wow that sounds nosy!) it's just a nice way to interact with people and find people who are interested in the same stuff, find new blogs to follow! 

28. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?
Nope, but that's a brilliant idea as I'm always forgetting what I've seen on other people's blogs!

29. How did you come up with your blog name?
Sweetaholic has been my username for tonnes of things (so if you search it on a website, it'll probably be me!) so I just added sweetaholic to beauty and .. here we are!


30. What kind of camera do you use for photographs?
Sony Cybershot.


31. How often do you clean your house? (Daily, weekly, other)
Daily! I'm a neat freak badly, except I am terrible at being a neat freak. I like to clean up my house daily, but it usually gets messy again.


32. What is your favorite color?
I'd have to say pink! I always loved pink in high school and used to get a lot of crap about it, but I'll defend pink forever!


33. What is your favorite beauty/fashion magazine?
I'm not really big on magazines, I love bridal magazines though!


34. Do you swear?
Occasionally but I try to keep it to a minimum!


35. What are you doing with the rest of your day?
Well my shift is almost over at work, I'll go home and sleep, then I'll get up, clean my house, play with my puppy and hopefully get a chance to go down to the shops!

I tag everyone!!! So get to it ladies, I want to read all your answers!

Bioré Restore Skin Boosting Night Serum


So over the weekend I decided to try Bioré Restore Skin Boosting Night Serum!

I was extremely happy to try this for two reasons! One; I've never tried Bioré before, so I was really excited! Two; I'm currently lacking a night serum as I've stopped using my Egyptian Magic Cream as it's too heavy during the cold weather!

I used this the first night, and straight away the scent hit me! The scent was so heavy and relaxing, definitely something to put on your skin just before bed! I found it really soothing.

The serum itself however was extremely light, and melted into my skin very quickly and easily, with no residue whatsoever! It wasn't greasy at all, which is a big plus for me as my skin is already naturally oily! It instantly moisturised and soothed my skin. (I'm also very pleased this is oil-free!)


I have very sensitive skin so I was a bit wary of using it, thinking it may cause me to break out a little bit. But after using it now for a few nights, I've had nothing but clear, moisturised, non-oily skin in the morning skin (yay!), so I'm very happy!

This is also really great value, while even though such a little bottle will set you back $19.95, one tiny little pump will provide you more than enough product for your face and neck area, so it will definitely last me a long time! The pump is also an added bonus as it protects from any bacteria or germs getting in!

So overall, I will definitely be using this from now on, and I'm pretty sure I've decided to make this one of my skin care staples! I'll definitely repurchase this once I've finished off this bottle! My skin is smooth, refreshed, hydrated without being oily, and overall feeling wonderful! Definitely a winner!

So have you tried Bioré Restore Skin Boosting Night Serum or any other 
Bioré products, and if so what do you think?

This product was sent to me for consideration. :)

Get To Know Me Tag



Even though I've done the Get To Know Me tag before, I've been tagged my three different people, so I thought I should answer their questions!


Firstly, I was tagged by Sandra over at Love Live Beauty

1. Is there anything in life you would like to accomplish that you haven't yet?

I haven't traveled as much as I'd like to, so that's something I really have to accomplish! Otherwise, I'm pretty much happy with what I've achieved so far!

2. One secret you don't mind sharing with us?

I don't really have any secrets - at least none I feel comfortable sharing!

3. How do you like to relax?

I'm happy to just snuggle up on the couch with the boyfriend and watch television or a good movie!

4. What was your last major purchase?

Brushes from Sigma Beauty however they sent me the wrong set, so now I have to wait for them to send the right set.

5.What can you cook very well?

I'm really good at baking cookies! Yum!


6. What is your favorite holiday and why?

Christmas! Love buying people presents.

7. What is one tv show that you really don't like?

I'm not a big fan of reality t.v shows in general.

Shopping spree! Then I would buy an apartment in the city!

9.  What kind of people do you like being around?

Only people that make me happy.
10. What is your one embarrassing moment?
When I was younger, I wet myself when I was on the slide at school so nobody could use it after me. I felt so embarrassed!

I'm not really sure.

The second tag from was Tasmina over at Life and Loves 

1. If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would you pick?

NOTD: Face Of Australia Let's Go Scuba Diving


I just wanted to share with you my NOTD today! I'm wearing Face of Australia Barbados Collection in "Let's Go Scuba Diving." I was instantly attracted to this colour because the green colour is so rich with just a touch of glimmer!

I ended up buying the whole set from this collection as I just thought all of the colours were so beautiful, but this one is probably my favourite!





I've already posted about another colour from this range; Blue Me Away, which has to be my other favourite!

So go and check them out, these little beauties are only $4.95 and they are limited edition, so hurry!


Daiso Cheek


Yet another Daiso review, yay! Unlike the Daiso Liquid Eyeliner, there weren't a lot of options for blush, but when I saw this cute Daiso Cheek in Pink, I couldn't help myself! I love the pink colour as a blush, but I think I would use the lighter peach colour as a finishing powder, as it wouldn't make much of an effect on my pale face!


The set comes with a cute little brush that I will never use! It will be handy for travel, though! I like the design of the case and the design on the actual make-up, it's very pretty and unique! 


This is me after using the pink blush. It wasn't highly pigmented and went on fairly light the first go, so the more you apply the more deeper the colour grows, of course. This was after maybe two applications, so it wasn't too bad at all. I prefer my blush on the subtle side, but for those ladies who like them a bit more exciting, it can be done using this blush!

Overall I think it's a cute idea. There are far better blushes out there that I would probably opt to before heading for this one, but this is good nonetheless. It is something that I might just throw into my handbag and use for touch-ups during the day, as the blush is always the first thing to fade on me! It's subtle enough that you can reapply without looking like a clown!

So what do you think of Daiso make-up? Or do you have another blush you can't live without?

Daiso Liquid Eyeliner


As you all know, last weekend I had to pleasure of shopping at Daiso! I'd heard so many good things about the Daiso Liquid Eyeliner, so I really couldn't go past getting it, especially at only $2.80! There were a couple of different styles, so I just picked one at random, and ended up with this one!


I thought the design on the front was rather cute, I like that it's simple. The design of the bottle is pretty standard, so there isn't really much to talk about!



I found the brush a bit strange at first glance. It's almost like a paint brush, instead of the usual pointed brush you get with other branded eyeliner. I thought to myself: this surely can't be good! It also looks as though there is far too much product on the brush, and it's a bit daunting!




This was my first attempt. I actually truly love how it turned out. The brush is surprisingly easy to use, and it does feel a bit like "painting" your eyelid, but in a good way! At first, the colour is not overly rich, but the product dries extremely quickly so I just reapplied straight away and ended up with a beautiful deep black. 


 Another attempt, this time in creating a longer, thinner wing look. I was a bit hesitant about how the brush might handle this, but it actually did a super job! I thought that maybe there would be too much product on the brush, but it actually wipes off really easily and you end up with the perfect amount.



Yet another attempt at trying a smaller, thicker wing. I really love how the wing turned out, I didn't put a lot of effort in to the rest of the liner as you can probably see, as I was only testing the wing, but I think it worked out beautifully.

This would probably have to be one of the best liquid eyeliners I've ever tried! The product is super easy to apply and dries in lightening fast speed. The first time I road tested this, I wore it for a total of 16 hours; from home time to work time and home again, and it did not smudge ONCE. That was certainly a lovely surprise. So all in all, the Daiso Liquid Eyeliner is a really brilliant eyeliner, doesn't smudge, goes on beautifully and the brush is very versatile. I would definitely buy this again, and I plan on! For $2.80, I still can hardly believe it!

Check out my Daiso haul here, with more reviews to come!

So have you tried Daiso before? If so, what did you think? If not, do you have a favourite liquid eyeliner?

FOTD - 23.05.12


As the weather becomes colder, I find I'm looking for a bolder look to wear to work instead of the boring old natural look! Since it's almost winter time, I've lost almost every bit of colour I gained (if any) during summer, so now I'm very pale! When I think of pale, I instantly think of big black eyes and bold lips! I know you shouldn't really do both, and especially not for work, so I settled on the look above!


What I used: 
Daiso Long Lasting Eye shadow, Daiso Rose Blush, Rimmel London Stay Matte in Transparent, Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation, Daiso Liquid Eyeliner, Rimmel London Kohl Black Eyeliner, Maybelline One by One Voum' Express Mascara, Barry M Lip Paint in Sunset


Daiso Long Lasting Eye shadow in Purple and Daiso Rose Blush

If you read my haul post you will know that this is my first experience with Daiso makeup, and I'm very impressed! I used the light almost white colour all over and then used the darker purple on the lids. I used the rosier colour for the blush as I wasn't too sure that peach colour would be very dominant on my cheeks.



Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder and Wake Me Up Foundation

In my opinion, two classics! This is the perfect combination when creating a flawless, brightened look. I start with the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation which gives perfect coverage, and then finished off with the Stay Matte Pressed Powder!



Rimmel London Kohl Black Eyeliner, Daiso Black Liquid Eyeliner and Maybelline One by One Volum' Express Mascara
For the rest of my eyes I started with the Soft Kohl eyeliner on my lower lash line, and added the Daiso Liquid Eyeliner on my upper lashline to create the cat eye flick. I finished off with the gorgeously bold Maybelline mascara on both upper lashes and lower lashes.



Barry M Lip Paint
Usually I leave my lips bare, even though I love lipstick, so I thought I might switch things around and wear something a little bolder than nude. I'd recently purchased the Barry M Lip Paint in "Sunset" which is a gorgeous orangey-pink. It's definitely something different to what I would usually wear out, so I was really pleased.

So hopefully you liked my look! The lips especially is something different to what I would wear, and I find that wearing lipstick, especially in a brighter colour, gives me a confidence boost! I really liked this look, so hopefully you all did too!

Australis Backstage Beauty Kit


A few weeks ago I was hunting around my local K-Mart when I noticed this little beauty hidden behind some old and broken "sale" items! It's the Australis Backstage Beauty Kit! I'm going to take a wild guess and say this was probably part of their limited edition range as there's no mention of it on their website, and I'd never seen it before that day. 

It comes in this handle little kit that's very easy for travelling, and it all tucks away nicely to make sure everything is secure. It also comes with a mirror, which is brilliant! 


It comes with 18 colours, three blushes, three lipstick colours and three lipgloss colours, two applicators and of course, the mirror! It's a really nifty little set the way it all folds into each other, and I was in love with all of the colours!

The 18 colours were taken from all different kinds of Australis palettes. I love the colours they chose. So bright and vibrant, whilst also adding a few more natural looking colours. I think the colours they chose really do fit in with their theme of "Backstage" as the colours seem really fitting for a fashion shoot or a runway walk! Very cute idea!


The blush colours; I am in love with! Especially the gold colour on the bottom. That is a colour I would never have tried before buying this set, and I really do love it! It's so unique and very flattering. The other colours are very simple but also very elegant, and if you work the colour in a bit deeper it can create a rather edgy look!
The lipstick and lipgloss colours are fairly average, but beautiful nonetheless. I like that they didn't include any strange colours that I may not ever wear, these colours are pretty standard choices, whilst also being interesting! I was a bit shocked there wasn't a nude colour in there, but the colours they chose were lovely regardless!

Overall I really love this set. It's cute, it's funky, it's really handy to throw in your purse if you know you're going from day make-up to night make-up without heading back home, this gives you heaps of options!

So well done Australis, another winner at only $15.00! Couldn't go past this without grabbing it!



China Glaze Passion



I ordered the China Glaze nail polish in Passion a few weeks ago and finally received it in the post! At first, I thought it looked a bit flat, and was a little disappointed in it. But after applying it, I was actually really pleased!


Passion is a gorgeous metallic gold. It almost reminds me of MINX nails, it looks absolutely flawless on my nails and is so shiny and beautiful! It looks a lot brighter than in the bottle. 




In the above pictures I'm only wearing one coat! It's not at all sheer, and it is not streaky whatsoever! This is the first China Glaze polish I've ever used, so I was really happy with the outcome! I'm not sure where to even buy this in Australia, so I was really happy to get this on Ozsale for a much cheaper price!

Overall this has to be one of my favourite nail polishes of all time! It goes on so easily, dries extremely fast, and gives a beautiful tailored finish that looks extremely professional and not at all tacky. It's such a simple colour, but it really does make a splash!

Have you tried China Glaze Passion before, or do you have another colour you just can't live without?

Daiso Makeup Haul



If you're from Melbourne like I am, no doubt you've heard of the fabulous Daiso; a beautiful Japanese thrift store where everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) costs $2.80!

Luckily for me, my boyfriend's cousin lives directly across the road from Daiso! We visited him on the weekend, and so I was able to duck in and have a quick look around! I've heard that some of their makeup products are notoriously brilliant, so I couldn't go past such a bargain!

I was only in the store for a short time, but I managed to come out with six beautiful items! Let's go through what I picked up!



Daiso Brand Eyelashes
I was thrilled to discover that glue was included with this pair. (I didn't even think to check before I left the store!) I'm not really one for fake eyelashes, but if you can go past a whole wall of beautiful fake lashes without picking at least one pair you need, then you're crazy! I could have walked out with hundreds, but I settled on one beautiful pair that I'll save for a special occasion! At $2.80, I'm not complaining!



Daiso Brand Luxury Nail Jewelry 3D Pearl Hearts
How cute are these! White and pink pearl hearts with sealed backs, so they just stick on your nails (or anywhere else, I guess) automatically without glue! I had a hard time picking what nail art stickers I wanted, as there were so many gorgeous things to choose from. I thought I would go simple and so I picked this. 



Daiso Brand Nail Jewelry Parts - Black
I picked up the first cute packet thinking I'd keep it simple. I saw these and I knew I couldn't stay simple! These have a few different types of cute thinga-ma-bobs, but the cutest are the black roses! They had a few different colours, but I figured I'd stick with black! Can't wait to try these out. Sadly you need glue, and I didn't think to pick up any before I left. No matter, I'll manage!



Daiso Brand Liquid Eyeliner in Black
I've heard so many good reviews for this, and I couldn't wait to try it! There were a few different types of eyeliners but I settled on this one. Not sure why, it just seemed to reach out to me! 



Daiso Brand Long Lashing Eye Shadow in Purple
I wasn't too sure about these, but I figured why not! For that price, it's amazing! I loved the colours, and there were a few others, but I thought I'll try it out first and then maybe go back and buy hundreds more! 



Daiso Brand Cheek Blush in Pink
I thought this was really cute, and for such a small price, I couldn't go past it! I have blushes that cost over $10.00 that were absolute garbage, so if I can find a blush that costs me less than $3.00, I'll be happy!



So overall, I'm really happy with my Daiso haul! The nail art is just amazing and I know will be wonderful, and the makeup certainly looks promising, especially with all of the reviews I've read!
I can't wait to try all of these products, and I will certainly be reviewing a couple of these items, and I'm sure we'll be seeing a NOTD including some of those gorgeous nail art items!

So, what do you think of Daiso? 

Endless Wardrobe




Everyone remember that gorgeous dress I raved about a little while ago? (Above.) Well, I just wanted to share a few other gems from their website!
I'm talking about Endless Wardrobe! It's an Australian based website that sells amazing pieces as well as some accessories. What's not to love about that?


Spotless Pearl


I purchased the above necklace, and it is just beautiful, I was so pleased. When it came to check-out, I also noticed that Endless Wardrobe has loyalty points, one point per dollar spent, which you can then redeem for your next purchase! That's an amazing deal if you ask me! 



Endless Wardrobe also has a number of "one size" items, which makes picking sizes a lot easier! Most of their one size items will fit sizes 6 - 10, which is a pretty broad spectrum. I found that the dress was a good fit, even though I'm a size 10 (sometimes 12 with some brands) so it wasn't at all too small!

Pure Heart


They also update with new items every single week, which means there will always be something new to browse through and lust after! They sell such a wide range of clothing from casual to formal, so there will always be something for you!
At the moment, Endless Wardrobe only sells their own designs, but they have plans to bring on some big name Aussie brands including Seduce, Bebe Sydney and Ladakh in the next couple of weeks! How exciting!

As an added bonus, they also have no time limit on returns which makes life a lot easier, and their returns policy is simple as pie!


So go and check them out right now! They've got amazing and beautiful - and affordable - clothing that is very difficult to resist!
