Happy Cup Day to my Australian readers!
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the term, on the first Tuesday in November every year, Australians everywhere stop for one of the world’s most famous horse races – the Melbourne Cup. It’s a day when the nation stops whatever it’s doing to listen to the race call, or watch the race on TV. Even those who don’t usually bet, try their luck with a small wager or entry into a ‘sweep’ – a lottery in which each ticket-holder is matched with a randomly drawn horse.
And yep, it’s a public holiday ๐
Think men in their fanciest suits. Think women in the most gorgeous dresses and fancy (and sometimes outrageous) hats. Think a slightly toned down Ascot races. Even though I’m not at the races nor betting on any horses, I’m at home watching ’em.
To commemorate my first Cup day here, I thought I’d do a FOTD just for the occasion. I don’t have any fancy hats or feathers, so I’ll stick with a lil’ flower pin.

Eeeks about the brows. I forgot to fill it in :p
I’m really digging the red lips. I don’t normally wear something so red, but methinks I’m going to get myself a bright red lippie. They’re so much fun!
The L’oreal Star Secrets Kit is available at Guardian or Watsons drugstores in Malaysia for just under RM60.
nice one! you look fresh! i have a few sheer red lippies too! brighten the face instantly!
but i am wondering what shud i do with those plummy red shades. it’s a little hard to pull off. i can only think of patting them gently on the lips for a nice stain. but it only work on some lippies. ๐
I love that red lip on you! Smoochalicious! ๐ And those palettes were quite a surprise – I like the blush in the one you chose but not the eyeshadows.
You’re totally rocking the red lips Tine!! ๐ I still don’t own any red lippies because i don’t think i can carry them off!! But after seeing it on you, maybe i should! ๐ The flower pin is soo adorable! ๐
btw, I loveeee the now skin!! Great job Tine!! ๐
i love your flower pin! immediately light up any look. i don’t own any red lippie too.. i have no idea when should i use it
Looking gorgeous! Wow, you really pull off the red lippie well! I still can’t take it. Maybe I’m just too used to pale lips that anything brighter scares me O_O

Hey, no wonder I didn’t get any updates. I didn’t have time to go through my links until now and just realized the reason. The new template is pretty too!
But why doesn’t the feed update itself? It’s new the same URL…
