Our Wishes Came True!

It is nearly the end of the year! Again! This means we are all getting older but first we get to have Christmas. Yeah! Lots of eating, family, eating, presents, eating, drinking, eating, friends…. Anyway, we thought a little bit of an update was in order.

We wrote about what was happening for us in 2012 here. So…..how much has been crossed off that list? ALL OF IT! Ha yeah! pat yourself on the back Makeup Case.

This is what’s been going down in the world of The Makeup Case

  • Amy had her second baby. Her name is Evelyn (Evie) May and she was born in May.
  • Amy managed to sell her unit, after what felt like hundreds of open houses and 3 offers falling through, we managed to seal the deal and moved to greener pastures just down the road.
  • Bec’s holiday dream has come true, she went to Mexico and New York! There may be some other news she has to share but I will let her tell you.
  • Actually I’m not sure if Bec got theĀ Tokidoki Barbie for her birthday but its coming around again, so if not there is always this birthday.
  • As you can see we continued blogging, we had our first birthday in July. We have done lots of makeup, tried and tested lots of products and been to a few events. It has been a good year.
Stay tuned for all our adventured coming in 2013.

Happy 1st Birthday to Us!

It is 1 year ago today that The Makeup Case was born! Woo hoo!

What’s that I hear you say, ‘you should celebrate and congratulate yourselves on a great year’ Thanks, we will. We shall indulge in some delicious birthday treats and perhaps a glass of bubbles or two.

We would like to thank all our fabulous readers, we would be nothing without you and we appreciate your support. Stay tuned because there are some big changes coming for The Makeup Case in their second big year.

Love and Kisses

Amy and Bec

Did you know…we are on Instagram?

If you’ve got an iPhone….you have to get Instagram. Its a photo sharing app that lets you take photos and add filters and blurrs then share them with your family and friends. Best of all it is FREE! And now available for Android phones as well. Just go to the app store and search Instagram.

Check us out, our username is themakeupcaseĀ 

Here is some of what you may have missed.

Warning: Instagram may become a little bit addictive, use it at your own risk. I know we have spent (wasted) many hours trolling through the thousands and thousands of photos on there. We love it!!!!!!

Sneak Peak…

Ā Coming soon….Some amazing goodies from our friends at Bellabox

Love and lollies, Amy and Bec xx

A Sincere Apology! And A Massage Please..

We know, we know, we know! It sure has been a long time between reviews and we are very sorry! In fact we are so very sorry that weĀ hand-pickedĀ these pretty flowers just for you as an apology..

We hope you accept our apology and we promise we are going to try our hardest to be better. I know it must seem like we have been pretty slack but we have actually been very busy little bees.

Amy is still very much pregnant and in need of a good pregnancy massage, if you know anyone give us a holla. She will love you forever (that’s not to say that we don’t love you all already because, we really do). I, on the other hand would love a massage myselfĀ whichĀ is probably why I have booked myself in for a very relaxing Hot Stone Massage at Inspa Wellness Retreat in good ole Sans Souci. The total massage goes for 1hr and 30min and I just know I am going to be in heaven the whole time, I mean come on, as if I wont be, right? I will be reporting more on this one later.

We have been trialing and testing lots of great and amazing products, seriously guys, we have a backlog so be prepared for lots more reviews coming your way. We only wish that sometimes there could be more hours in the day! And another thing I am loving right now…baking! I know that it is not very beauty related but they look beautiful at the end and they taste yummy, so a recipe or two might sneak its way onto our blog (maybe tomorrow?).
