Shops with Benefits.
Fun fact: Benefit opened their first Australian shop in oxford street Paddington last week. They were launching not only the store, but Posietint, which is the flirty little sister to their famous cheek and lip tint, Benetint. Posietint is a petal pink, sheer translucent gel that you blend into the apples of your cheeks for perhaps the cutest and most believable blush effect since a walk in the winter wind. And it stays put! Brilliant stuff. It sold out in Sephora REAL quick and is kind of the cosmetic version of Gossip Girl in terms of coolness right now. I love Posietint. Say hi, baby.
"Hi."
Fun lie: I sometimes speak to Katie Holmes on Skype.
Fun fact: They have a brow bar in this Benefit store, or rather a row of adorable little brow stations, and even though I am very very very very very very very very very fussy about my brows, I gave it a go and was very happy with the outcome.
Fun lie: All food consumed on road trips is fat, sugar and calorie void.
Fun fact: When you are midway through getting your brows tinted, you look really, really fug.
FINALLY!! I've been waiting so long for a Benefit concept store in Australia. I almost booked a ticket to San Francisco just to see the Benefit stores there.
Such a fan of their products, it's reasonably priced and of great quality too. I love their Benetint and the clear lip liner as well. Can't wait to try out Posietint too. The packaging looks so cute!
Congratulations on getting the position of Primped. I hope everything goes well for you .

I live in Brisbane and have discovered the BEST person in the world to do brows. .
Her name is Helen and she used to work at the Estee Lauder Brow Bar in the city.. but she left last year and opened up her own brow bar in Bulimba. The place is called Brow Zing... and she is amazing.. She spends 45 minutes perfecting your brow.
I am one of those people who have blonde really fine brows - and have always wished for a beautiful full brow.. and helen somehow makes them look amazing....
highly recomended for all you brisbane girls

I saw Posietint on the US beauty blogs and fell in love. As I am of the oily persuasion I'm all over gel and liquid blushes, as they look pretty and fresh and believable without the stomach-turning oil slick sensation of their creamier counterparts.
I remember when I used to get my eyebrows tinted. Fortunately, no one ever photographed me mid-tint. You're a braver woman than I, Fruity.

Posie is such a fricking cute word. I think I want it just for the cuteness of the name.
