Cheap Kigurumi/Onesies in Sydney

It seems that onesies (or kigurumi) have taken Sydney by storm and they are everywhere online and every shopping centre has someone selling them. But where can you get it cheaper? I'll tell you.

Paddy's Markets.

Forget about paying $50-$90 for something you will probably only wear at home or to parties/conventions (if you're that type of person). There are HEAPS of stalls in Chinatown's Paddy's Markets that look like this one:



Can you see the price in the pic? $25! Time to stock up on some Christmas presents... :P You won't have any trouble finding them in Paddy's - I saw at least 5 stalls selling them, spread throughout the markets.

Fairy Drops Waterproof Mascara Review


Time to review my latest beauty purchase - Fairy Drops Mascara. Gotta love the packaging on this Japanese mascara - so blingy and girly. 

I got the waterproof type since my lashes often touch my face when I blink, so normal types tend to rub off faster and give me panda-eyes.



As you can see, the brush is quite unusual - it's curved and the bristles are cut in a bulb shape. The product doesn't have any weird smell (which is great) and the bottle is easy to open. The rose foil packaging is so pretty.



For someone like me that has very short eyelashes, it makes a difference using Fairy Drops Mascara. It seems to have little fibres in it that cling to your lashes to add length and a bit of volume. This is great if you have tiny lower lashes that are hard to put mascara on too - Use the tip of the brush to apply to lower lashes.

This mascara also holds curl really well - be sure to curl your lashed before applying your mascara! (A must for monolid eyes)


After a whole day of wearing it the lashes seemed to stay almost entirely un-smudged. Pretty good mascara for small monolid asian eyes - using it seems to open up your eyes more and make you look more awake. Two thumbs up!
