What are you wearing today?

[billy_cakes]

Thats the one ive been to as well, i didnt know there was any other ones? I didnt realise u were in adelaide! yay adelaide!

 

[simplyenchantin]

I like those lipstick holder things from there too except personally I think they were overpriced lol.

Yay for 2 bedrooms, billy! I know how exciting that is hehe.

 

[CatsMeow]

heheh - yep i'm in radelaide!

i think it is the only store. i love howards storage world - way easier to navigate than freakin ikea!!!

 

[billy_cakes]

Really? Maybe i was looking at smaller ones or something? They were clear plastic and helt around 20 lipsticks and then had a rectangle compartment in front of where the lipsticks would go...it was $35?

 

[sambibabe]

Howard Storage is way overpriced!! I saw the lipstick holder and thought it was too expensive. Love the design of it though! The one near us went out of business, so hubby bought the sensor bin for $100, usually $450

 

[simplyenchantin]

The lipstick holder I saw was $45-50 I think.. even $40 is way over priced for a peice of plastic!

yeh id agree howards is overpriced, but then again i think most storage is overpriced i make it all myself out of mdf for a 1/3 of the price and paint it any colour i want!!! (and i get discount for working at bunnos)

Because it is made of Acrylic. Everything made with Acrylic is sooo expensive here!

I saw the similar thing sold in Japan for $5!

welcome hun! Isnt nightfish fluidline gorgeous???

we'd love to see you post more here! I've seen some of your FOTD's and you are gorgeous!

 

[sambibabe]

^^ I only remember iheartmakeup from Style Warrior swatch thread. I was thinking, 'damn, how the heck did she get all those SW? I want!!!'

 

[CatsMeow]

Ok... ONE WORD sums up this morning: DISAPPOINTED.

I bought the Star Brunette and the Black Dazzlelash mascaras off the clearance bin and they are SANS glitter.

Can anyone verify to me whether these mascaras are supposed to be glittery? I figured that was the whole point of the 'dazzle' part!

Maybe i need to shake the mascara bottle a bit... but they look pretty non-glitterish.

On a more positive note - I paired Bare Necessity d/g with Lollipop Loving l/s and I think I've finally got LL to work for me! The green undertones show up more!

Nude look today...

^^ you can get similar acrylic stuff from K-mart for half the price. (you can see it i'm my stash) They only have a few things. But it does match the Howard's stuff pretty closely.

 

[rockin26]

Naked face today

I'm home sick from work but I'm going to drag my arse out to RMIT and put up some notices to do photo shoots with the photography students and get cracking with some photos for my portfolio

I agree with K Mart for storage stuff and Big W has a few things in the laundry section which are pretty good.

 

[sambibabe]

CatsMeow, no, Dazzlelash is not supposed to be glittery - it is only supposed to lengthen and separate your lashes.

Really? poo. I thought it was going to make my lashes all nice and sparkly.

Oh well, at least I don't feel ripped off anymore. Kind of.

 

[rockin26]

^^^ You crack me up!!

Yeah, I can see where you are coming from though! It is annoying how MAC had to promote it with Dazzleglass, so people might think Dazzlelash might actually has dazzles! It doesn't do much for me unless I wear it with P+P Lash

After that, it is

 

[rockin26]

I'll probably kill Sambi & MrsMay by saying this but I'm skipping DD, l/g just doesn't get me that excited, I like them but they're not my heroin like e/s

 

[CatsMeow]

False advertising I say! lol

I like the smaller wand tho. And I didn't have a brown mascara before acquiring this one, so there are some positives. MAC should make a sparkly mascara tho!!
