Aloha dudes...although seeing as this is a beauty post, more likely, dudettes! I hope you're all well and enjoying the 2nd month of 2014....WAHHHHH-UUUUT??! I know right, this year is already zooming by. Hopefully not at the speed last year went and hopefully with more eventful and momentous memories and experiences. Anyway, I shall get onto the review.

(duh, come on Tracy, stop with the tangents...this IS a tangent...CRAP!)

So the other day I was walking past Terry White Chemist and I saw the on sale items and I was very intrigued to say the least. Well I actually walked past and internally flipped out and my insides collapsed. That is how much I love make up and beauty products. (I think I have a problem). So when I finally got the chance to spend 2 hours rummaging through the baskets, I found the beacon to my obsession with lip products. SAX Cosmetics. I settled on purchasing one lipstick, Sheer Petal.

Now, before I get into the reasons why I love these lipsticks, I need to explain my lip situation. I have sensitive, dry and pealing lips. They can be aggravated by a dry matte formula, certain glitters and formulas that are too hydrating because they make my lips peal and flake. Pretty much they're a b!tch.

So, when I was absolutely amazed at the Sheer Petal, I decided to buy 5 more of the colours that caught my eye.

The second the lipsick touched my lips, I knew that these were different to any other lip product I have tried. For the better. I was stoked, it glided on, gave perfect pigmentation, appearance and hydration. It isn't sticky or oily. It is a delightful in between which allows me to keep it on for longer without getting annoyed, frustrated or disappointed in how it feels and it's wear time. The description on the side of the box packaging explains and describes exactly how the product feels to me.

"A pigment-rich lipstick infused with nurturing ingredients that conditions the lips, leaving them feeling soft and supple. Creates the look of creamy velvety, full-bodied lips."

And includes nurturing ingredients like:

• Calendula Oil
  Soothing, healing & anti inflammatory.
• Evening Primrose Oil
  Moisturising, anti aging & repairing.
• Jojoba Oil
  Emollient, Anti ageing and clinically proven to reduce skin dryness.
• Vitamin E
  Antioxidant that protects & moisturises.
• Candelilla & Beeswax
  Natural wax, water resistence.
• Silk Powder
  Rich in amino acids, similar to those found in the skin. It is used as a moisture regulator by retaining moisture. It provides a light, silky feel and helps prevent dryness.

#25 Soft Rose

#26 Berry Delight

#31 Sheer Petal

 #31 Sheer Petal: A fabulous natural shade that brings out the pinky glow in anyone's skin. With microscopic silver and gold glitters, you can barely feel the shimmer. It is a lovely "My Lips But Better" shade that brightens and allows your skin to shine naturally. Perfect accompaniment with an understated eye or with bold and daring eye make-up. As is says on the tube, it is a sheer shade, so it isn't a think swipe of colour. However, the pigmentation and product that transfers onto the lips provides a magnificent sheen for almost every skin tone.

#28 Coral

 #28 Coral: Now this shade was a surprise, not in a bad way, but if you're expecting the exact colour it is in tube form, then I guess that would be in a bad way. I found this shade's formula was a little bit drier than it's predecessors and a lot lighter and cooler in colour on the lips than it is in the tube. However, I still love the colour as I don't have one like it and the formula is still amazing in that it still doesn't dry and flake my lips. This colour is definitely more bold than expected and reminded me a bit of a Nicki Minaj lip colour. Thankfully, not to the light and cool blue undertone, degree of that range.

#27 Classic Red

 #27 Classic Red: Now, there are a million red shades out there by different brands. Some good, some bad, some hideously dry and lacking. For me, this wasn't an necessity to purchase but I don't have this shade of cool based red (helps eliminate yellow looking teeth) and again the formula is to die for. M.A.C Cosmetics does have some great matte shades that have brilliant staying power, and teeth whitening abilities like Russian Red. But when I want a glossy, nurturing and nourishing brilliant red for any classic look, I would head for this one. I mean, come on, it has 'classic' in the name. (It's there for a reason).

#34 Sheer Nude

 #34 Sheer Nude: Like Sheer Petal, this shade has very small silver glitters which do not irritate my lips. It also provides a great colour pigmentation for a sheer lip colour. It is a more neutral shade compared to the Sheer Petal, which is more pink and this is more on the brown/mauve side of the spectrum. So when you want an uber natural lip and overall look with still some lip/skin glowing features than this is the shade for you. Just throw on with some mascara and blush and you're ready to run out the door.

Swatches with Flash

 As shown in the flash swatches, each colour does have a reflective sheen when first applied and is very similar to a tinted lip balm with much more pigmentation.

Swatches without Flash

So if you're looking for more of a lip colour with great consistency on the lips, pigmentation and hydration without the tough to remove colour staining than this is the product for you. I have never been more impressed in a lipstick than what I have found in this range of cosmetics.

You can find more information on the SAX cosmetics webside, HERE
If you are in Australia, you can find the range at THESE STORE LOCATIONS
If you are International than you can find it HERE or try Ebay relative to you country.

So I hope you found this helpful and informative for your lip colour and formula needs. If you have any questions, just comment down below and I'll do my best to answer them.

So until next time,

Well, I've been saying for a while but I FINALLY GOT PAID so it is time for a Giveaway!!!!! I have 2  International giveaways going on both of my channels to say thank you for helping me reach 200 subs on my tracy4jester gaming channel and 70 on my Jest Tracy (JestInSyle) channel. Your support over the past year has meant to much to me. So Here are the 2 giveaway videos. IF ENTERING, THE COMMENTS HAVE TO BE POSTED ONTO THE YOUTUBE COMMENTS/TWITTER AND NOT MY BLOG COMMENTS ^_^

Hello my little french fries...I WILL EAT YOU. *shifty eyes*

So yesterday I went Boxing Day shopping in my hometown (you're already glaring at your screen with "mistake" in your eyes) but yes I did it. I left my house, way later than when the shops opened and attempted to go shopping. Now, if you're like me and you hate a majority of mankind because they don't know the concept of common sense or intelligence, than you probably had as much fun as I did. So I did managed to get some items that I am excited I got etc etc but one thing stuck in my mind. Everyone needs a tip guide. So I thought up of 10 things that would have made my shopping experience much more enjoyable and I hope these help you too! So when I got home from spending my xmas money, I immediately wrote down some thoughts and made a video of HOW TO SURVIVE BOXING DAY SHOPPING. This also applies to any other big sales and shopping days or even just shopping in general. These are 10 things that need to be said and spread so, if these strike a chord with you, I'd love for you to share it around or even sub to my channel. :)

Hello one and all, I hope you are having a magnificent Christmas or whatever you're celebrating. Just in the nick of time I got my Bellabox for December. Now despite the fact that I was sick and throwing up at the time the box was delivered, I was ecstatic and excited before I felt the saliva well up in my mouth and I ran to the bathroom to throw up. This was all on Christmas Eve. Come Christmas day, I was even more excited because I actually got something special and a total surprise to open. I got eight products, 2 full sized and the rest were sample sized (I like to call them fun sized). Each one was followed with an OOOOOOHH as I pulled it out of the box.

So every month, for the price of $15 I get a box sent to me of these goodies of total surprise. It definitely causes some excitement. It also allows me to try new products for a fantastic price and then review them at the start of the new month. I shall do a favourites video on my Jest Tracy channel when I try them out.
I'll just quickly go through the products that I got this month, with you guys. Bellabox does try to tailor their products for their subscribers so some people might have gotten different products to me.

"Celebrate Summer!" I love the little cards they place in the box.

The Corresponding number can be found on the card below, with added photos of the products out of view.

No. 7 is the Bonus sample.

4. Mary Kay Full Size Lipstick. I will do a full review on a later date.

6. Eslor Introduction Pack.

8. Free tote summer gift with a cute vintage print.

All in all I am stoked with this box. It has a lot of fantastic and essential products that I have heard about but never had the money to go buy on a whim it might be for me. This way I can try all these products for $15 and decide for myself if they are then worth buying the full size. I shall begin trying all these products and then will post a blog post on those that I love and find that it works for me. I will also include them in my Favourites video which I will begin to upload at the start of next month.

So until then, I hope you give +bellabox Australia  a go and see how it goes for you. It is only $15 a month and you can cancel any time.

Christmas is fast approaching, and if you are in Australia, you know that we don't really have any other "festive" holidays past Easter as we don't even really celebrate Halloween so the Christmas stuff is already up in shops by like the start of October (fucktards). But if you don't celebrate Christmas (which is kinda ironic because I do but I coin myself an Agnostic Empiricist), maybe Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or any other holiday these are just some good gift ideas in general. From cheaper gifts to more extravagant ones for those you want to splurge on.

$10-$20AUD Gifts

Gift sets are always a fab idea when you need to get something for someone you are just not too sure on.

• AAAAnnndd for that, what's better than chocolate??! everyone loves chocolate, unless you're one of those nutters that don't like it (weirdos) ANYWAY, this Lindt Chocolate Fondue set is only $10 from Woolworths here in Aus. Click on any of the gift photos to take you to a link to where you can buy them.

Only $10 from Woolworths also available online.

• Another gift for the more 'sophisticated' of your friends/acquaintances is a CHEESE BOARD AND KNIVES GIFT SET (supermarkets are great for gift sets!) also from Woolworths and for $15! I really want it even though I don't eat cheese/not supposed to. 

  $15 from Woolworths

• For the more geeky/coffee obsessed/crockery enthusiast these heat changing mugs are amazing gifts as it is has a little bit of a spin on the usual gift. They change colour/image when hot liquids is poured into the mug. They are around $10 each. The only down side is that you can't microwave some of them (maybe all of them) and handwash (I think, it depends on the mug image) as it can interfere with the composition of the mug. (It's only supposed to be heated from liquids on the inside of the mug).

  $10 from ebay

   Also available on Amazon

  $11.79 from ebay

  Also available from Think Geek

$30-$50AUD Gifts

• For the ladies in your life that you know love make up and beauty products than this is the best gift for them and something totally different! A Bellabox subscription!! Bellabox is a beauty subscription that sends you a box of different products every month. You can pay for a subscription for them for 3, 6 or 12 months. You literally give the gift that keeps on giving! For a 3 month sub it is $45 which is perfect. They currently ONLY ship in Australia however there are heaps of sites in the US that do similar processes like Jewelmint, Ipsy etc! 

*HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!*

5+ trial sized and sometimes bonus full sized products for 3 months for $45AUD.

SPLURGE! $100AUD+

I think that is everything ma lovelies!! So I hope I have given you some good ideas on what to give that special someone or that awkward acquaintance that you have no clue what they like/don't want to spend much money on them. But yeah. OMG this has taken me forever to write, it is now 1am. -____- but hopefully it was helpful!

HEY! HEY GURL.....SO UHH,,,,,CAN I HAVE YO NUMBA?

                             But seriously....can I?

Outfit timeeeeeee

• So I wore my cheapo black skirt from an Asian shop that's in Sydney's Central station underground walkway. 
• Collared top is from forever 21 that I got in the Philippines last December in Mall of Asia which is fucking HUGE!
• Tights are either from ASOS.com or from Dangerfield (I can't remember coz I have like 20 pairs from different stores) but either way they both have amazing tights. 
• Belt is from Cotton On.
• Shoes are from Target.
• Chanel bag which was a gift for Christmas last year.
• And the best part of the outfit (I think) is the MOUSTACHE pin under my collar which was free from We Love Fine (which has the best Adventure Time Merch).

Yes I am wearing pants..what a hello!

Why hello there!! I have been planning this for a while and now I am finally doing it! WELCOME TO MY BLOG!! Seeing as I am quite internet crazy, with accounts with almost every social media (except for vine, fuck screw that), I thought that a blog would be the best/most creative way to express whatever I would like to post.

From the dedicated pages of: fashion and clothing (Style); Make-Up and Skin care (Artistry); Design/Decor to whatever I create (Whimsy) and lastly, my Life. Where I post anything and everything I wish to share. May it be from health and fitness to binge eating (naughty...mwahaha) or even issues I am going through.

Gaming is also a huge part of my life, along with youtube. Even though I don't have a lot of subscribers, I game and upload for myself. To improve my abilities and knowledge with the interweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeebs.

If you are interested in a girl playing games..... not just any games.....but HORROR games then you can check out my channel www.youtube.com/tracy4jester. Or like this blog, and into the more girlie side of things with fashion and makeup, my other channel is www.youtube.com/jestinstyle.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy my blog and I look forward to getting involved with the blogging community.
