My Fashionlista Finds!

Hey everyone! My latest addiction? Fashionlista!
I actually haven't been on Fashiolista for very long..maybe about 2  weeks? I'm not sure.
Fashionlista is as addicting as Facebook! You create a profile and you can follow people and people can follow you basically by the way you like your style to be, the followers has a similar style to you! It's almost like Twitter,you know.
I know this was a really short post but I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed typing it up!

PS. This post was not sponsored by Fashionlista, these are my personal thoughts.

Seasoning your bags: The Guide

Hey everyone! No,no,no,no....you are not seasoning your bags with pepper are you? ( Fail )
Well duh of course not, Courtney! This post is all about choosing the right bags for each season, the bags I own are actually the ones that I take too school, if you are out of school, the bags are pretty self explanatory.

BAG 1 : THE SPRING TOTE
Personally, I love to use canvas bags for spring. The whole light weight look and simplicity of a canvas bag can finish every spring outfit besides high class dinners....
This bag is acceptable for school because it's not highly decorative. I love this chic canvas bag that my friend for me on birthday!

BAG 2 : THE SUMMER BAG
Considering this a rather large bag, it is a perfect summer bag to store bathing suits,lunch, anything you want to take to school or on a trip!! This bag is highly expandable, which is...awesome? 
Remember that whole colour blocking trend? It's still going ( amazing ), and this bag is a perfect example of a fashion accesory.

BAG 3 : THE AUTUMN BAG
I am in love with this bag! This bag is has a very Autumn tone, by looking at this bag it reminds me of Autumn.
Saying too much Autumn? Yup, I am.
I think this bag is great because i don't think guys would use this, but it has a very unisex combo of colours.
I have a feeling that in New Zealand, the fashion statement now is Unisex Clothing.
We have those jackets that high school sports teams wear, canvas shoes, half calf socks, low down shorts...it's all getting to it. This bag is sooo in.

BAG 4 : THE WINTER BAG
It's rather hard to find a winter bag, because the clothing choice for winter is usually pale clothing. I like to add a bit of dark colour to that.
This bag...isn't just black but with a touch of pale pink. The best thing about this bag? It's so big that you can store extra coats!

I hope this guide helped you find the right bag for each season. I got these bags quite inexpensively, you don't need to spend a ton of money on a seasonal accessory.
Another thing is, I am not a professional fashion person. These are my own personal ideas and thoughts

Random Rambles: Stop Kony,My Food Choices,Injections, Random

Hey everyone! I am soooooooooo sorry for not posting in like, forever!Well, besides the My Music Loves post, which I hope you guys enjoyed!!
I've just heard the really bad news about Kony, who performs illegal actions on children, well, I think it's illegal. I think that is one of the most horrifying things I've heard this year.
You can help too. MAKE KONY FAMOUS! No, I'm not on his side. Everyone is trying to make him well known to eventually bring him down. That sounds better...right?

I've Just had my Cervical Cancer Injection. Mine...reaaallllyyy hurt. My muscles were still tense from the netball trials the day before, so I think that's why. You know what? The lady gave me a bracelet and a cute bookmark. I'll post pictures of them later. Oh and the picture above..sorry...that's a really off putting one :\

My latest loves for food....Hundreds and Thousands Cookies! They tastes sooo good. They are pretty sweet though, but I really don't mind at all. But honestly, you need to try them if you haven't lately!
Lush Old Bank
LUSH CAME OUT WITH THEIR NEW PRODUCTS! Yeah...you guys in America and the UK will probably enjoyed most of their new products already, but, these goodies just arrived in New Zealand! OMG I am super excited, hmm my shopping list.....

I hope you enjoyed this post! Wait guess what? I go to Japan and Aussie in less than 10 days!!! EXCITEMENT MUCH!!

BYS Cosmetics Review

Hey everyone! It is about time that I have done a makeup post. I don't think I have yet posted anything on cosmetics and such. Anyway, today I wanted to post a review on this brand called BYS, i found this little stall like thing at Postie + and this kinda intrigued me. This testing eventually turned into this review; I'm going to share with you my thoughts about some of the products from their brand:

  
BYS Animal Instincts Lipgloss in Strawberry:
I thought this was a really good product. It has a really nice scent, kinda like a sour strawberry candy, but the best thing is, this has glitter! It has a perfect amount of glitter in each tube and it glides on smoothly onto your lips! The only bad thing is, the glitter is a little bit abrasive in a way. Maybe I'm applying is too roughly or it is abrasive.
BYS Liquid Foundation in Honey Beige:
I'm really disappointed in this product. It does not cover up, its basically like coloured water. The texture was a little bit runny and this did not do any help. I really don't have anything good to say about this product. I'm not too upset about the price though as it was only $6 something.
BYS Blush in Pink Velvet
This is probably my most FAVOURITE product to review. I actually don't own this yet, but the girl said I could try it out and it was probably the most amazing blush ever. It's very pigmented and it is easy to glide on. This blush could not get any better.

I hope you enjoyed this review as much as I enjoyed typing it! Look out for more reviews, there will be a lot more coming! Have you got any cosmetic reccomendations or questions? Comment!

Random Rambles: My Japan and Aussie trip, What I love, Easter Socks and Injections

~EXCITEMENT~
Happy March everyone! I am soooooo excited! My upcoming Australia and Japan trip is coming up!!!!!!! I'm super super excited!! So I'm trying to save up for a camera, both for my Japan trip and for my blog. What's the cheapest priced camera you've bought? I really need to know to see how low the price can go.I promise to post pictures of my trip! This trip is kinda my birthday present/meet my family. Yes, I  have family in Japan! My birthday is actually going to be held in Japan, but hopefully before we go I get to go Ice Skating with my
friends!!!!

Nice socks ay. Yeah, I chose them to be from now on Easter socks! I love Easter, it always has something that is-so-freakin-amazing-and-yummy-you-have-to-get-it. I just stuck with these warm and exciting socks, they have rabbits on the side!! BTW, they are pink.

OHHH NOOOO, INJECTIONS! Apparently, I have to get injections for this cancer thing. I don't really want to say it because its a tad weird. The cancer that woman get happens.....down there :\
I have this weird thing but I'm like scared of the injections and then I REALLLLLYYY want to get them. I'm weird like that!!!

I have found some video favourites, mainly easter and some makeup tutorials:
This amazing video by Sparklyblonde1 of YouTube really knows how to create Easter Baskets! I think her ideas relate a lot to my kind of thoughts which is what I love about her! This video is so useful to create Easter  Goodies!
Yeah this video by Allthatglitters21 really reminded me about Easter. I dunno but the thought of Gel nails makes me think of Easter? Anyway, I thought this was a super good video, I just love doing at home kinda spa thing. Get your Easter treat by giving yourself a spa night and of course....chocolate!!!

I know this was a really long post and i'm sorry I have not posted for a little while! Homework, tests and all that junk! I like to put that behind me and do a blog post, I think it's so fun blogging. So, I hope you enjoyed and Ill be blogging soon!
