Friday Feast

Last night we had family date night and it was the girls turn to pick the venue. Out of all the local restaurants they picked their new favourite, a recently opened Indian restaurant in Scarborough, Bollywood. They do a delicious all-you-can-eat smorgasbord. We all end up eating more-than-we-should-eat instead. They even have 3 vego curries for those fussy vegetarians (me).

To make up for stuffing our faces over indulging, we woke up early this morning and went for a walk to the beach. The newly renovated Scarborough Park is now open. Children were screaming with delight from every angle. Is it only me that finds happy children slightly annoying? Probably.

If you are local and love Indian food, you really must check this restaurant out. Tell them Rachel sent you and they'll probably seat you at the greedy girl table.

7 Bargain Makeup Products to create a day face for under $100

I'm always on the look out for nice, well priced makeup. I don't mind spending a little more to get what I want, but if I can find something good and cheap I am a happy, happy girl.

Here are 7 makeup products that are cheap as chips, can be bought when grocery shopping or in a department store and will enable you to create a natural, simple day time look for under $100:

1. Face of Australia Pressed Powder $11.50. This is a great light powder to gently dust over your BB.
2. Australis Creme colour for Cheeks & Lips in Dusty Rose $9.95. I love a product that can do more than one thing
3. Maybelline Line Express in Ebony Black $8.50. This goes on smoothly, has an intense black colour, and the all important smudger on the end. 
4. Maybelline The Turbo Volum Express mascara in Very Black $17.75. This is my favourite mascara. So cheap and makes the most of the lashes you have.
5. Maybelline Mastershape eyebrow pencil $11.50. I need to fill my eyebrows to look done. I like this one because it has a natural wax formula and a built in spiral brush.
6. Covergirl Intense shadow blast in beige blaze $14.95. This is another product that does has a few jobs. It's an eyelid primer and a fantastic base eyeshadow colour. This baby won't move.
7. Loreal Nude Magique $21.95. I love this because it's not greasy or heavy feeling, has SPF12 and it's fun to put on. It transforms from white to match your face.

Now I'll demonstrate how I use these 7 products to create a 5 minutes easy-peasy day look. I like black eyeliner, but you can use a soft brown to create a softer look, or add a brighter lip to perk it up a bit.

I'd love to know your favourite bargain products.

Have a great weekend!!
