After A Day Out In The City ...


I thought you'd enjoy a little look into some purchases I made over the weekend whilst wandering around Brisbane's Queen Street Mall and South Bank.

Lipstick: I've been looking for a dark lipstick mixed between a burgundy and purple for a while. I've seen the Rimmel Lasting Finish By Kate Moss Lipsticks popping up everywhere so I decided to give them a go. I bought mine in shade 31 and was so disappointed that they weren't given names instead of numbers, one of my favourite things is when companies given there products interesting names. Anyhow It's a beautiful lipstick with amazing pigmented colour and it felt smooth and silky. Next time I'm out I'll be keen to pick up other lipsticks from the range in shades 10 & 38
 $9.95 at Priceline Pharmacy 

The Time Machine By H G Wells: I've always been drawn to Penguin Books, I think it's because the covers give nothing away about the actual content of the novel and every time I then pick one up it's like a little hidden surprise inside. When I stumbled upon this little novel it was on the bottom shelf next to some CD's and records of a small music/ bookstore located in Brisbane (South Bank). I picked it up one because it was the slimmest there (I seem to have commit issues at the moment with reading thick pieces of literature) and because after reading the blurb it sounded like the most odd and weird novel I've seen in a long time. I'll update you on instagram about how I'm finding it in the future, so remember to keep an eye out for that (instagram @rileyjxo).

Sunglasses: These cat eye styled sunglasses from Factorie are just what I've been looking for! I've been on the hunt for glasses with a classic and versatile shape that can be worn to many different occasions from the beaches to the city centre. They are definitely on trend with their 60's/ 70's retro shape. I was surprised how much I did like them since in the past glasses with a circular lens have made my face look overly angular and insect like. I feel very Audrey Hepburn sporting this little gem.
 $12.95 at Factorie 

I hope you enjoyed this little look into some purchases I made on my day out in Brisbane city. It's so great to be able to check out brands that I wouldn't normally be able to see because their stores aren't yet on the Sunshine Coast, but I guess thats what online shopping is for...
