Erstwilder... That Quirky Accessory everyone needs

If you didn't know already Erstwilder is one of my favorite companies for brooches, earrings and necklaces. They are a Melbourne based company making quirky designs that fit every outfit. Their designs come out collections like that of winter 2015 ( which has some of the cutest foxes and birds I have ever seen). Designs are limited so you know you are getting a special piece right from the go. Made from layered resin these pieces being the fun to every outfit to get people talking. Not once have I worn a piece and not got a compliment.
For the last two years I have been collecting pieces, my first piece was Polly the Pug, just after I got my own pug Daisey May.
As you can see the colours are amazing and they pick up like really well, so they almost glow. 
My second one was not long after, I have always loved owls and they appearance through out history, becoming wise in Shakespeare's play. So what's better then a wise owl? A wise owl with Glasses 
Enter Waldo the Wise Owl. I bought these two online through Ebay, the fact they came in these cute round boxes make them even more perfect. 
My next pretty was Kimberly Cupcake, the fact it's has leopard print icing sold me... It's so cute. 
And who can have Christmas with out a Christmas one? I was searching for the deer for ages and I went in to a small store in Berry on the South Coast of New South Wales and there it was. 
Not traditional Christmas cookouts, but you have to think outside of the box sometimes and this could be warn want time of year (however I save it for Christmas). 
My pretty Emry the Asleep Fox was bought in Moss Vale in a shop called Viva Moss Vegas. The cutiest shop that sells a large range of rockabilly and pinup products. And there she was I had to get her. The fact I have two now with glasses seems to be a running theme. 
And last but not least is Patsy's Glasses my first necklace from Erstwilder. 
The make of the necklace makes it look like they on a chain like in the 50's so you don't loss your glasses. 

In terms of traveling if I go away for more then a day I pack my Erstwilder cause they make any outfit pop! 
Here they are in my Globe Light suit case safe and sound. I normally bring the whole lot along with me so I can pick and  choose. Sometimes I wear more then one, like a necklace and brooch together. So if you haven't check out Erstwilder yet I hope I have give. You enough reasons now to start collecting.

Bésame Makeup Review

After searching and waiting, I finally got my hands on a BĂ©same makeup compact. And first impressions are WOW they know how to impress a girl with packaging and presentation. 
I ordered mine from www.damselsanddames.com for $39 + postage. They were a very easy site to navigate and pretty quick postage. I got mine in a medium as I have gotten a little tanned from all the traveling my man and I have done. 
Each layer of the packaging you unwrap is better then the last. 
Then you get to this little velvet bag, and you think wait it's that small??? 
I love the protective bag they come in and the contrast keeping to original designs. 
And the case it's self is beyond beautiful it is nothing like I have found in vintage stores or hinting online. 
Then you click the little button and inside is more perfection. 
As you can see the brand name and colour theme run through out the product. I was a little disappointed the the size but I stopped and thought at least this will fit in to any bag or purse and it is in itself a representation of me compact and vintage. 

Now comes time to the makeup inside. The makeup inside is small be gee does it pack a punch. I used a large powder brush to apply it like I normally do and it's coverage is the best yet. And I say this having worn a lot of well know brands makeup. 
I normally don't wear a lot of make up as I have nice skin (so I haven been told) and only wear full makeup for special occasions. 
I choose a medium shade and was a little worried it would be too dark with my skin tone, it was a little but I just spread it out more and it gave me a wonderful glow to my face. 

In conclusion, BĂ©same is one of the best vintage replicate beauty products I have ever used and would recommend it to anyone that wants authentic vintage make up. 

What have your experiences with Bésame been like??
