LCP’s – Bang for your Buck!

2OPINIONATED’S FAVOURITE LCP’S

Olya and I love a bargain buy just as much as the next person – don’t be fooled by our blog! With this in mind we wanted to share our favorite Life Changing Purchases (LCP’s). These are the purchases that we feel we got the best “cost-per-wear ” and gave us a bang for our buck.

  1. Peeptoe necklace - This necklace cost me $99 from Peeptoe in Australia. I wear it several times a week and I never fail to get at least one compliment when I wear it (once, I actually got 5 in one day), I also get the same reaction from the Peeptoe necklace I am wearing in the 2OPINIONATED photo. The feel-good factor of wearing this purchase makes it my number 1 bargain buy of the year www.peeptoeshoes.com.au Read more

LCP’s as a Philosophy

Philosophy Skin Care Update!

Hannah: ’Olya has always been a little disturbed by the fact that, until recently, I have always been fairly uncommitted to maintaining a regular skin-care routine. That was until the Traveling Stylista, Kimberley Horan recommended I try using the philosophy range (hope in a jar, purity and microdelivery mini peel pads). This is the only skin care range I have ever used that I can honestly say resulted in a visible improvement in the look of my skin and I’m totally hooked.

I was therefore totally disturbed to discover that Mecca in Sydney are no longer going to be carrying the Philosophy range. It has taken me this long to find a skin care brand that I can call my own and now I can’t find anywhere to buy it in Sydney. Sometimes life can be so unfair!’

Olya: ‘Don’t fret my dear, philosophy.com will ship it to you from the United States and they also have some great new products to try! My husband is purchasing them for me in NY as I write this! They have had brilliant reviews and I cant wait to try them.

PS. They can also be bought online in Europe from Sephora, or from QVC TV in the UK, however the selection is quite limited. Read more

Our apologies to all the 2OPINIONATED male readers who may not understand the true significance of this post. To give you some context…for most women…discovering a comfortable strapless bra that actually gives you good shape is up there with the discovery of penicillin .

This bra retails in Australia for $44.95 and is available in black and nude. So what’s so good about it?

This is why I love it: Read more

How emotional are you about EYELASHES?

So many mascara campaigns have a tendency to over promise and under-deliver. Even thought it won the Australian Beauty Award for most Innovative New Product in 2010, and made it onto HARPERS BAZAAR HOT 100 list, there has recently been a lot of chatter about the MODELco Fibrelash Extreme Lash Extension Kit. Let us say – believe the hype! If you are sceptic by nature, don’t believe us, just watch this demo video and see for your self or better still try it!!

Moshi BASS BURGER

LCP – Music Makes me Happy but not Bose!

I have had a Bose sound system for over 4 years now and during a move the power cord was damaged. For over a year I have tried to order a new cord! I have contacted Bose, I even placed orders with two stores and payed deposits to ensure they order it! A year on and I still have had no success with either of the stores or Bose. Apologetically one of the suppliers have informed me that Bose was unlikely to fulfilled the order since there is a new power cord adaption. Star Service from Bose? – I don’t think so!

Not to be without music, whilst researching a replacement home sound system, I bought a Moshi BassBurger as a temporary solution. I have to say it has been fabulous! It is inexpensive and ideal for traveling with as it fits into the palm of my hand and has a great sound. It is quite amazing considering its size! I do however have to fight my husband for it! I think I might now buy myself the double!

Friends who have heard it have all gone away and bought one. A good friend was unable to but the Moshi BassBurger because it was out of stock bought the X-minII she also loves!

So why is it a LCP? It has surprisingly amazing sound for its size, its compact, travels well and recharges from my computer and it doesn’t drain power off my iphone when I use it! Now I can have music where ever I am!

Just incase you want one in Australia it retails for $29.98 buy online at Dicksmith.com.au or for overseas stockists information contact Lomis International. It is actually an Australian product due to be launched in the US shortly.

An alternate similar product is the X mini II capsule speaker  www.x-mini.com
