Panasonic Lumix GF3 Test Run Snaps Pt2

Part two of my random day of snapshots! It’s getting dark around 8:30 at the moment which being from QLD I just hate because it messes up my sense of time but at least there’s lots of light to take photos late!

We walked past this water feature that I’ve always kind of ignored because it’s so boring but this particular day there was a girl there making an art installation out of leaves.She was arranging them in a portrait, so pretty and such a lovely idea.VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00206_1021 copyA boy came and offered to help her remove some of the leaves stuck up too high for her and it was so cute ^_^VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00207_1021 copy

James took this one, he wanted to play with the camera almost as much as I did XD

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00215_1022 copy

I spent a lot of time enjoying the new flowers too, they didn’t smell so great but they sure were pretty!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00218_1022 copy

Good chance to play with the focus too!

There was a really pretty flower shop along there too, I love seeing the flower stands around here. There’s one right near our house with a really nice owner. He’s always so friendly so I’ve decided when I’m one of those awesome rich people who can afford fresh flowers every week I’m going to shop exclusively there 😀

Now with 90% more random cow.

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00224_1022 copy

And just a little more random architecture… because I love it XD

I saw these adorable mop toppers at Tokuya… I have no idea if they do anything other than making your mop cuter but I think that’s a very good skill in itself 😉

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00237_1024 copy

Also James couldn’t help making Minecraft jokes at this…

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00241_1024 copy

More cuteness I found:

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00239_1024 copy

At this point we were trying to find a shop that James had been searching for. Unfortunately we weren’t sure it actually existed but it was a lot of fun looking for it!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00271_1027 copy

We spent quite a lot of time wandering around China Town, at sunset it’s always so pretty in that area.

And I saw a lobster humping a crap… so I took a photo because I’m classy.

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00274_1027 copy

I really want to try this Japanese restaurant, it has really good reviews and the area reminds me so much of Tokyo!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00267_1026 copy

At another restaurant we walked past was SUSHI BURGER! Weirdest thing I’ve ever seen but I totally want to try!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00280_1028 copy

James finally found the Salvos store we were trying to find XD…

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00261_1036 copy

…and it happened to be right next to an arcade game parlour… 😀 VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00289_1028 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00298_1029 copy

Biggest claw machine EVER. Seriously the kitty at the back had black marks all over its head because people had tried to get it so much XD

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00293_1029 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00296_1029 copy

An adorable puppy …

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00306_1030 copy

Pretty lanterns at another restaurant. I would love to do this to my house but I think having them so low would make the apartment feel tiny.

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00286_1028 copy

James trying to play with some kind of interactive watch advertisement XD

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00315_1031 copy

We met up with my Mum and went to dinner at Claypot King.VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00338_1033 copy

James’ coke was strangely descriptive XD

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00318_1031 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00343_1034 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00340_1034 copy

I ordered what I thought was a drink that I had had before and ended up with this instead which was shaved ice full of coconut, peanuts, corn, jelly and cordial XD I have the worst luck with ordering things but I will try pretty much anything so it worked out! This was actually pretty good haha!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00346_1034 copy

On the way home I taught my Mum how to play claw machines hahaha!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00348_1034 copy

James discovered they installed pachinko and seems to have gotten slightly addicted, but having never seen or heard of one before he wasmore than a little confused >_<

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00357_1035 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00349_1034 copy

I was much more interested in the claw machines though so I won my Mum a green kitty 😀

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00363_1036 copy

It matches my pink one but she likes green.

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00361_1036 copy

That concludes my fun night of testing out my new camera! Hope you guys had as much fun reading as I did taking the photos  😀

 

Estée Lauder Liquid Liner Silver Zinc… Currently Reviewing

estee-silver-zinc

Estée Lauder Liquid Liner Silver Zinc

Price: $42

Obtained: Gift Bag

Thoughts:

When I found this in my gift bag I thought “Meh another weird goldish colours I’ll probably never use”. It sat in my make up drawer for a couple of months before I did a look which had enough green in it to make me want to try this out. I regret waiting that long because now I see it’s a really versatile colour.

It’s a dark gold with slight green tones and dries in a metallic finish. The best part is the felt tip applicator, it makes drawing really complicated designs or multiple flicks really easy and reminds me of the art end mini Copic markers. It lasts all day and it comes off with make up remover in little pieces like eraser shavings rather than smudging.

For a colour that looks quite odd in the bottle it looks surprisingly natural on. I think this could look great for a little sparkle in neutral look as well as being a nice offset for green shadow or eyes. The quality is beaututiful and what I would expect from Estée Lauder.

Would I buy Estée Lauder Liquid Liner Silver Zinc again: Yes if I had the money.

Panasonic Lumix GF3 Test Snapshots Part 1

As I mentioned earlier in the week my Christmas present came very early this year, a new camera! I’ll be writing up a full review including seeing whether it lives up to the adorable advertisements but I thought in the mean time maybe you would enjoy some snapshots from the first night I took it for a spin! I’ve split this post into two parts because there were so many photos so one today and one tomorrow!

This is the first photo I took with it, James always takes his first shot with a new camera of me so I wanted it to be of us… some kind of silly idea of good luck etc ^_^

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00001_1000 copy

Of course then James completely ruins that by taking unclassy photos of me eating >_< Even sepia mode doesn’t help that.VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00030_1003 copyHe looks good no matter what unfortunately.VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00024_1002 copy

Testing out some of the modes…

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00037_1004 copy

It even makes my terribly unattractive lunch look good.

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00007_1001 copy

Toy mode makes everything look so cute!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00068_1007 copy

This is my photo to register James’ face so now when I take photos of him it always knows who he is XD So pointless but I love stuff like that!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00047_1005 copy

There wasn’t really anything good to take photos of at home so I stuck to taking them of MacGyver on tv XD Yeah.. you pour that water Mac!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00058_1006 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00076_1008 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00066_1007 copy

Going out to check the mail ended up being a good cam-whoring opportunity because I had to do work for the rest of the afternoon.

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00081_1008 copy

The herb plant out my window, I really want a window box but James would have to take care of it XD

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00071_1007 copy

Outfit shots, super casual for a night taking photos!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00090_1009 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00088_1009 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00092_1009 copy

Very cute thing to do with a bike!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00099_1010 copy

Random street art…

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00100_1010 copy

And my random Melbourne architecture shots look so much more impressive with this camera!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00103_1010 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00101_1010 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00121_1012 copy

I love architecture so much, no idea why but I just find it so interesting.VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00163_1016 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00171_1017 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00191_1019 copy

 

Cute shop windows I spotted along the way:

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00106_1011 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00112_1011 copy

Chocolates!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00136_1014 copy

One of my favorite shots of the night, that guy looks so busy and important!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00194_1019 copy

Of course I had to test out how well it handled self shots and the skin smoothing mode haha!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00129_1013 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00146_1015 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00116_1012 copy

So many pretty things around town that day too, or rather there were probably the same amount of them but I was just looking around rather than rushing off somewhere!

 

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00109_1011 copy

Buttons at Lincraft, I need to find somewhere else to buy Bunny eyes because they don’t seem to stock them anymore ;_; I’m getting ready to put the first batch of bunnies up for sale, yay!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00135_1014 copy

Random street art… ugh I can’t believe I’m one of those people who take photos of street art… Birds really creep me out though!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00127_1013 copy

I think I took all the photos I always take like of the horses and buildings just to see if I could do them better… so sorry for the doubles XD

 

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00175_1018 copy

I did get my revenge though, James always tried to make me stand in the middle of the tram tracks to take photos and that makes me nervous so I made him do it for once! He was not so nervous…

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00147_1015 copy

I mostly seem to have taken photos of things with pretty colours, clearly I am attracted to shiny things!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00182_1018 copy

I want to decorate my house with all of these glittery trees and pretty papers

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00184_1018 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00183_1018 copyVioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00179_1018 copy

We walked past this mini lake thing which had some kind of art installation underneath through the glass.

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00185_1019 copy

And one last one of me! Apparently I took most of the interesting photos on the second half of the night haha!

VioletLeBeaux-Panasonic-GF3-Melbourne-Review00187_1019 copy

Hope you enjoyed and have a great night! Yay for new camera, I can’t wait to try and do some craft tutorials and see how it goes at home too 😀
