Haul Time with Swatches

If you didn't already know my 18th birthday is next week and boy, am I pumped and since I've never been out on the town before, I made it a clear excuse to do a little bit of last minute shopping. I'd already bought my dress and sorted out my outfit which I should hopefully have an OOTD for on the actual day and then realised that I was wearing all black and only owned one clutch, which was also black. Another excuse to go spend my money. So I headed around and found this one here at Miss Shop in Myer for $40. The picture above makes it look yellow but it's actual a light pink, as pictured below. It is actually quite large but I really like it and think I'll get heaps of use out of it. Also the handle is detachable  :)


Also another fact about me which says quite a bit. I plan everything. I had my dress picked out and ordered over a month ago. My mum, sister and I booked the restaurant for lunch nearly two months ago. And now that I had checked off everything major detail wise, like where I was going, who with etc, i went even further into detail and started experimenting with what I wanted to do for my makeup. I watched this video by TheBeautyVault on YouTube and decided to pick up the two major shades she had in the look since they are fairly inexpensive as well as a white eye liner by Essence since I don't own one. I want to try and do my own version of her look. The shades I picked up were Shrimp Me Up which is the coral shade and Dance All Night which is the shimmering gold shade. Here are some swatches.



Well this turned into more of a personal blog than a haul but non the less those are the things I picked up in preparation for my birthday next week, and life in general.
