The Beginning Of An Obsession

Welcome to the last day of April 2013!

I guess this means that we can officially call it Autumn (Fall) down here. That, and the fact that there are more acorns and leaves on the ground than there is ground! I hope everyone up in the Northern Hemisphere is enjoying and appreciating the warm weather! I miss it already. Sigh. 

I am so SO excited; last night I ordered the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette off Bid or Buy and it's supposed to arrive here in 15-21 working days! This is the cheapest I could find it anywhere in South Africa, other sites were close to the actual price from the Urban Decay website including shipping. Except that I couldn't see whether UD ship to us. (If you know, leave me a comment telling me, pretty please?)  If you're living in South Africa and are interested, follow this link to check it out and order one for yourself, but hurry - there's not many left!

I've watched so many tutorials and reviews on this palette that I am starting to feel like I can't go on without it. Obviously as soon  as it arrives I will let you all know how I feel about it. 

Despite having not received this palette yet, I'm starting to obsess over Urban Decay products - ESPECIALLY THE NAKED RANGE. I'm on a student budget and this is a bad thing! But just look at how beautiful they are...

The original Naked Palette

The Naked Basics Palette

The Naked Flushed Palette

It's going to take me years to try and save up for all of those (remember STUDENT BUDGET!) and I will only start once I know whether I'm impressed with the second palette. Well, the first in my case because I'm buying them in the wrong order. I can't wait to let you know what it's like!

Comment below with all things Urban Decay! I'd love to know if you use it (especially anyone in South Africa), where you buy it from, which is your favourite and so on.

Not My Favourite TV Program

Hey hey!


I am currently lying in bed after having just watched the first episode of season one of The Walking Dead, and I'm really not too sure how I feel about it yet. At this point I don't really feel compelled to make a special effort to watch episode two. Obviously that could change if I do see another episode and become totally hooked, but I'm not really one for watching too many TV series because I find them to become a bit repetitive. I also cannot claim to be a zombie fan and there were just too many "walkers" in one episode for it to have held any kind of interest from me. We'll see where it goes, but at this stage I'm not going to recommend it to anyone like me!

Having said all of that, I did really enjoy the series Life with Damien Lewis (who is one of the coolest people on the planet in my opinion), about a detective who was arrested and sentenced for a crime that he didn't commit and who then tries to find the person who framed him. It was sadly very short (one, maybe two seasons) but I was completely addicted! I wouldn't know where to tell you to look for it if you're interested unfortunately though as I've never downloaded anything other than music. You probably don't believe that, but I promise!


I plan to have a new beauty related post up by the end of the weekend - I'll do my best!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

PS I apologize for the short post, I just didn't want to keep you waiting any longer for something new.
