Vintage Cream 50s does 1920s Flapper Style Sequin Dress(end time 02-Dec-09 19:39:55 AEDST)

A friend just sent me a link to this pretty dress, looks a lot like mine! It's got a week left to go on ebay and is currently sitting at $12! Bargain!

Meanwhile I'm rather upset to find that Luna Bazaar, sellers of of the 50+ colours of paper lanterns, often referred to on Martha Stewart Weddings, DO NOT post to Australia! Or most of the work outside America for that matter. BOOOOOO.

Where else am I going to get these and these?

budget beauty treatment

I don't know about you, but I really loathe spending ridiculous amounts of money on skincare products. So many other things I would prefer to spend my money on! I have found some great budget skincare tips on the Vogue Forums in the past including the aspirin face mask, and just using the basic Cetaphil brand products as a daily face wash and moisturiser. So many basic beauty products you can use without spending a fortune!

This morning I stumbled across this great Youtube Channel with some fantastic budget beauty tips.

There are tutorials on the aspirin face mask and rice water toner,plus olive oil as an eye makeup remover, and who needs to fork out a hundred bucks for a microdermabrasion kit when you can just use an electric toothbrush? AND - clay kitty litter as a clay face mask!

My favourite one though, and very fitting for a pre wedding treatment, is a CHAMPAGNE skin treatment!

I know I sound crazy but watch these, you'll want to give it a go when you see her complexion.

Got any budget beauty tips you care to share?
