Happy New Year!!


Just taking a moment here to wish everyone a very Happy New Year, I hope 2011 brings you everything you desire :) and that it is better than 2010 because I think that's the whole idea .. that each year should be better than the last.

2011 is my last year in school, I will be in year 12 and I know it's going to be a challenging year but also I'm looking forward to the changes it will bring. Alot happened in 2010 for me and because of this I know I've grown as a person so I'm excited about the future and all that comes my way.

Have a wonderful New Year and remember to stay safe, have fun, don't drink unknown liquids and 'don't do drugs!!!

Christmassssy Things!

So it's almost Christmas and I recently bought a new dress that I LOVE so much that I'm calling it my Christmas dress this year. I got it from 'Forever New' here in Australia for about $70. It's a black floral summer dress with fitted top and full skirt and comes just above the knees, I also used this dress for a theme Formal night not too long ago, it was a 50's night so I wore pearls, had my hair up and wore a tulle petticote just peeping out of the bottom to give lots of volume and bounce to the skirt and that '50's feel', I also wore black stilleto pumps with it. My video of the casual outfit can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3nq9hKRyO0 I teamed this dress with a pair of sandals and a cute necklace that I was sent from 'MyNameNecklace': http://www.mynamenecklace.com.au/?smt=122784 which I totally love and have been complimented on many times and I wear all the time. The one I have is the 18" Sterling Silver variety.

The weather where I live has been pretty miserable for the past month with just a few 'good' days thrown in (remember it's Summer here) so I've been passing some time playing with nail polish on the days where I've actually been home (about 4 days in the past 3 weeks!!!), you may have seen my 'zebra nails' in a previous video.

This time around I've done them glittery, you can see the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnZS3kHQMB4&feature=channel I'm not that great at applying nail polish because I don't wear it much, we're not allowed to wear it at school so I just don't bother with it at all most of the time. For this look I used the 'Paint the Town' nail polish by Australis in 'Pleased as Punch' which is a Target Exclusive product, I also used the Base and Top Coat by Australis and some fine glitter I bought from a craft store. A very easy and fun fun fun look for Christmas time, especially because purple is my favourite colour :)

CleanStart by Dermalogica - Skin Care Routine



This skincare routine was requested a bunch! so I have a new video on it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e0qVXD30Lo as you can see I changed my routine a bit since my old skin care one. I was sent the demoligica products to trial, but this is my complete honest opinion in this video and I really like these products. The scrub is prob my fav because it has a really refreshing mintiness to it :D The spot stick also works really well along with the moisturizer and lip balm. Im not too fond on the toner because i get it in my mouth alot :/ and i dont really like the night time moisturizer because it leaves me feeling really sticky and it just isn't that comfortable on my skin so only use it if I have breakouts and wont put it all over my face. I have been using these products for just over a month and have found that they have helped ALOT!!
I ALSO tried it on someone who had back - acne. WOW, it made a MASSIVE difference in just 3 days! I just used the wash cleanser, toner and spot stick on their back and I am deadly serious, in 3 days there was the biggest differance! so I would definately recommend these products if you have acne, back - acne or body acne.
Just remeber always have CLEAN hands when cleaning your face and try not to touch your skin if its not necessary and NEVER sleep in makeup. I hope this was informitive and helpful :)

Tanty Cosmetics, Crush Cosmetics and VS Sassoon Reviews

Sometimes I will review a product/site/store in my youtube tutorials which I hope some of you find helpful in some way. I know not all people enjoy watching ‘reviews’ so I try to do them in a ‘non-invasive’ way as I don’t want to appear that I’m pushing products onto people, in the same manner I also think it’s good for people to know what’s available and what it’s like to use that product etc. Feel free to ask any questions on the things that I review or use in my tutorials.
I was recently asked to review the ‘Tanty Cosmetics’ online store here in Australia. Tanty Cosmetics provide overseas cosmetics that are hard or difficult to buy in Australia. None of the products that were sent to me have been tested on animals and they provide free shipping within Australia. Their service is friendly and reliable and their prices are very comparable. I would highly recommend this online Store to anyone.

Crush Cosmetics is also an Australian online Store that stock cosmetics from overseas that are hard to purchase here in Australia. Their service is excellent and they ship most places in Australia overnight, so you don’t have to wait long for your order to arrive. They have a wonderful selection of products to chose from. PLUS you get a free sample with your purchase :D

The ‘Curl Magic’ by VS Sassoon is a wonderful curling iron that is easy to use and affordable. It would make an excellent Christmas gift and it comes with temperature control and a glove to help protect your hand. It makes beautiful curls on long to short hair. You can purchase it online or in most large stores in Australia that stock VS Sassoon products.

Let the bloggin begin!

HEY THERE :D

Okay, so if you haven’t already noticed, you are reading my blog. YAY I finally got a blog! I had a Blog briefly before but I ended up deleting it because it was ... crap :P Hehe yer, so I’m not very good at writing stuff like this ... So I guess the first thing I should do is explain what this blog is for and tell you all about me.

Firstly the purpose of this Blog is so that I have somewhere to ramble on about things in my life, somewhere that I can show you things that I may have purchased or been given and also be able to share with you on a more personal level. :)

You may already know that my name is Cassandra Michelle/Cassie (also known as lilcammo93 from YouTube) I was born on the 31st of December, 1993. I am Australian and live in QLD. I am absolutely in LOVE with the beach! I am basically like any other 16 year old girl, I like doing my hair, makeup, fashion and sport. Ever since I was little I have loved fashion and wanted to be a Designer. In the last year and a bit I have only really started getting into makeup and doing my hair nicely. It’s all thanks to that thing called hormones hahaha ... makes us wanna dress up our appearance and get noticed by the other gender (BOYS) but more importantly it also makes us feel good and more confident about ourselves. So makeup is one of my fav hobbies and I want to become a professional Makeup Artist. I have a lil pup called Hunny who I LOVE endlessly and I love all my friends. I like to try to be as positive as I can and look towards the good things that God has put in my life. Over the last month, well the last month has been chaos for me, but over the last month I have learnt so much as a person about myself, about others around me and about life in general.

So, wanna know something that I have learnt?

"Yes Cassie, what did u learn?"

People aren't always as they seem. Life is short. We are only here for a small amount of time. Memories are the only things that don't change.

But at the same time I have learnt all this. I have learnt that life goes on, the past is the past. In the small amount of time that we are here we should make the best of it. We will never get a minute or a second back. We are constantly growing. Through rough situations we truly find who we are. It’s our imperfections that make us who we are. If there is one thing I could tell all the young girls out there it would be this :

Never allow someone to change who you are or let someone else tell you who you should be. Follow your dreams. Every second is a gift. Every nightmare ends. Pleasing others is only good if it makes you feel happy too, otherwise you’re just wasting your time. Don't judge people, you never know what kind of person they could be, and that person might even change your life. Be yourself. Never regret the mistakes you make, learn from them. Find what you love in life, what you are truly passionate about and follow your heart.

Hmmm well that wasn’t really one thing but you get the point :P

If you are ever feeling sad (and we all do at times), think about the positive things in life, the things that make you happy. The small things that make you smile. Surround yourself with people and things that inspire you, build you as a person. Be confident, you are who you are and no one else. No one else in the whole world is like you.

You are an original!

Soo...yeah, that’s basically all I really have to say today. Hope you all are having a wonderful day! :D

OHHH .... HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

~Cassie
