The Week in Instagrams @nanawintour: *Finally found some midi rings this week. These are from Diva. *Coffee+Cupcakes and Cashmere-oh my! *The best mask ever. *Mexico date with Hannah. Those non-alcoholic Margaritas were so good! *Jelly sandals are back in my life. They're surprisingly comfortable too. *Miss Vogue in review.

Must-Watch of the Week: Halloween isn't as celebrated here as it is in the States but that hasn't stopped our local beauty gurus from filming their own Halloween makeup tutorials. This tutorial by Sally is awesome. The cobwebs and dark contours add a touch of spookiness but the rest of this makeup is quite pretty, which I like. 

Product of the Week: Mac Eyeshadow in Satin Taupe. This is an eyeshadow that I tend to forget about sometimes and I'm not really too sure why as it is so versatile. I've been wearing this with Bronze and also using it to line my eyes. This is definitely a colour I'll be using a lot more next Winter.

Must-Read of the Week: Into The Gloss ran a two-part interview this week with Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere. She offers an insider's look into what's top of her beauty shelf and also insights into blogging and her achievements. She also revealed that she's working on another book, yay! You can read the interview here and here.

Added to the Wishlist: I'm off to Melbourne for a holiday next month, more on that later. I've already started thinking about what I want to do and more importantly where I want to go shopping. Anyway, I discovered Priceline online and knew I had to visit there. My Australian readers are probably laughing because Priceline is essentially a pharmacy albeit an awesome one. Anyway, top of my wishlist is some Essie polish which currently can't be purchased here. Watermelon and Mint Candy Apple are both shades I hope to purchase.

*Have an amazing weekend everyone! I'm doing the usual study bits and pieces but also am going to the One Direction concert on Saturday. Yes, I'm a fangirl but c'mon, Harry Styles. 'Nuff said..

I was really impressed by the inaugural issue of Miss Vogue Australia. It was exactly what I expected it to be and more-you can bet I will be getting the next issue once it hits newsstands! To prevent sounding like too much of a fangirl I've compiled a list of what I liked and disliked from the first issue. Read on..

Likes

*An article about the Evolution of the Selfie and its continually evolving effects on society today. If you cast your mind back five years ago we didn't have reverse cameras. Selfies came care of Webcams or the camera facing towards a mirror so you could see what you were doing. With the introduction of iPhones, Instagram and more recently SnapChat, it's not surprising the way the selfie has changed and this article made for interesting reading.

*Elle Fanning, the cover star. The accompanying editorial with Elle is stunning and if you haven't seen the pictures then you should get on Google.

*The mix of stories. An interview with Lorde, skater style and a look at Alexa Chung's new book all stood out but there were so many good ones. 

*The beauty stories, in particular on Aesop-an Australian skincare brand who I didn't know much about. The men's take on perfume is also worth a read.

Dislikes 

*The one thing I disliked is that some content was only accessible through the Miss Vogue iPad app. That is all well and good if you own an iPad but I currently don't so that was a little disappointing. Maybe they'll introduce an iPhone app eventually.

*Have you read Miss Vogue? What are your thoughts?

Mac Eyeshadows in Woodwinked and Trax Given that I seem to wear All That Glitters religiously it's hardly surprising that I'd forgotten about these colours. I wore Woodwinked a lot last Summer though. It's a softer gold and looks less foiled and metallic which I like. This is great on its own or layered with sheer glitter over the top. Trax is a colour I actually purchased at a Sephora in France. It's quite a glittery shade in the pan but on the lids it has more of a matte finish. This shade is perhaps more Wintery but it would look nice blended out with other colours.

Stila Convertible Colour in Gerbera, available here. When I purchased this earlier in the year I wore it virtually every day for about a month and then forgot about it. This coral pink looks frightening in the container but once it's blended out it looks very natural. You can also use these as a lip colour.

Korres Lip Butter in Pomegranate On a daily basis I tend to reach for my Jasmine lip butter. It's one of the first things I see in my drawers and also I love the scent. Now that Summer is fast approaching this one will probably make its way into my bag a lot more as I reach for sheerer lip products out of convenience. Not only does this add a pop of colour but it also keeps your lips hydrated and chap-free.

Mac Lipsticks in Show Orchid and Lickable These colours are both usually reserved for special occasions and really they deserve to be worn more because they are both so pretty, *taps wrist*. Both these pinks are also really long lasting as well and if you're ever after a pink lipstick, Mac do really gorgeous ones.

Smashbox High Definition Concealer in Light There's no real reason as to why this concealer hasn't been used a lot recently other than the fact that this shade has yellow-undertones so sometimes it can look a bit orange on my face. Now that it's getting closer to Summer this is a better match for my skintone so I've been wearing it a lot lately. This is best applied with a small detailer brush and it blends really easily. Smashbox have concealers that are targeted towards more porcelain complexions so if you're after a new one, then you should go check out theirs. 

*What beauty products have you been neglecting lately?

The Week in Instagrams @nanawintour: *Polaroid nostalgia, September Beauty Favourites, Lorde's Pure Heroine cd-The only music I've really been listening to this week., Alexa waxing lyrical about nail polish in the fridge-I can relate, Wednesday's glamour-face essentials, The online shopping adventure.

Must-Watch of the Week: I've probably mentioned Zoella's channel before on the blog but this week in particular I have been loving her videos. They're great ones to watch if you're having a rubbish 'meh' day. It helps that they're all fashion and beauty related in some way too.

Product of the Week: Tarte 'Lights Camera Flashes' Mascara, available here if you're in the States. Tarte describe this mascara as an amped up, ultra-black mascara that lengthens, curls and magnifies lashes for an intense look, while instantly increasing lash volume by up to 752 per cent. This is the first Tarte product I've tried and I love it. It really makes your lashes look amazing.

Must-Read of the Week: Lorde, that amazing girl who's basically ruling the music world right now wrote this article herself for one of our Sunday Papers. Read it if you're a fan and want to know who she really is. Sorry if that sounds pessimistic but the whole 'She's only 16' thing is getting old, world media outlets. 

Added to the Wishlist: 90's kids will remember jelly shoes. The bright, translucent, glittery shoes we all wore to death as kids. I loved mine and old photos show I had several pairs in varying colours. It may be nostalgia, it may be that they're just awesome shoes. Either way I want some new jellies for Summer and y'know what? I think I might just get 'em..

As you can tell from the title I went on a little HQHair spree with a friend of mine recently. HQHair is similar to Beauty Bay and Feel Unique, it just specialises in more haircare brands than the other two. Another drawcard of course is that they sell Nars and it is considerably cheaper than it is in the shops here. We were really happy with the affordability of our HQHair purchases. One thing to note though is that orders take around 2-3 weeks to ship, to the Southern Hemisphere at least so if you need to reorder anything then it's better to do it well in advance. Everything arrived safe and sound though so I'm sure I'll use HQHair again in the future.

GlamGlow SuperMud Clearing Treatment This is probably one of the more expensive face masks on the market but I'd seen it popping up time and time again in blogs and on bestseller lists so I wanted to give it a go. HQHair is the cheapest place where I have found this face mask so far. This mask is designed to tighten skin texture and pores. It also works to fight against blemishes and breakouts. In all honesty the smell of this mask really isn't appealing. If you're a fan of black licorice though you may like it (!). Once you get past its scent though this mask is amazing. I've been using it as both a spot treatment and face mask and it has made such a difference to my skin. Blemishes are reduced and aren't as prominent. The overall condition of my skin seems to be better as well. This mask is well worth its hype.
