My friend's home-made macaroons; 5. Sashimi Salad at Burwood; 6. Me and the boy at Hotpot using an iphone fisheye mounted lens; 7.

The Chinatown Markets - toy USBs on display (all photos taken during August 2012)

This is my first ever 'Instagram collage' for the blog. To be honest I've been very resistant about sharing my Instagram photos here because I personally like using DSLR photos and leaving the iphone photos for my Facebook Page and Twitter. And I've been on Instagram for almost a year now before the 'hype' happened.  Yet I realised I couldn't carry my heavy DSLR around no matter how strong I think my shoulders are so I have captured special moments using the iphone more often than I have thought. 

Like for example, my fisheye photo from Katoomba (photo no. 3). It was extra windy that day and I would've put my life at risk if I had attempted a 'selfie' photo using a chunky DSLR. I would've have, definitely been blown away or my arms would've snapped under the heavy weight. Like I've mentioned plenty of times, I am a clumsy, clumsy girl. So DSLR + selfie + windy day on the high peak of mountain = natural disaster.

To see more photos, follow me on Instagram: @lucyrunaways. You'll find too many snaps of food and sometimes lovely glimpses of my Sydney lifestyle... but mainly it's all just snaps of food.

If in Doubt, Always wear Lipstick: A Makeup Series

 1. Revlon 'Blase Apricot' 2. Illamasqua 'Ignite' 3. MAC 'Love Forever!' 4. Illamasqua 'Box'

I thought I'd share some of my favourite lipsticks at the moment.

I own 27 lipsticks and still counting. I love lipsticks, they are all my other 'lovers'.

Also, the creators at Modiface has an Iphone/Ipad application called 'Makeup' in which you can upload your photo and add cosmetics to your face to test it out virtually. What a brilliant idea, it saves a trip to the Cosmetics store. And when you're done you can email your looks to yourself or post to Facebook. Check it out here.
