What is your latest haulage?

[Pinupsundae]

I got some new OPI polishes in the post today - thanks a BUNCH Jan! That totally made my morning. I'm sitting here now debating whether to do my nails or think about dinner prep first.

I also picked up some new lashes today, the #20s from MAC. I've never used half-lashes before, does anyone have suggestions/warnings for me before I do?

 

[MrsMay]

^^ the #20's are my FAVOURITE lash!!

Just make sure you bend them a little bit to make them more supple before applying them

I caved and ordered a sigma Brush set, really for that price I thought i might as well try them.

Oh and i was just looking at that new Napoleon Perdis

i really want that too

Thanks for the tip, will definitely do that. I'll be wearing them out to a 50s themed formal event so I want to make sure I get them right. Also gives me an excuse to peruse some more make-up/tutorials for the theme!

^^ Sigma brushes are awesome! They're not exactly like MAC but very good quality all the same.

I went to Myer sydney today to ask for a pigment sample and they denied me!

 

[Tracey82]

Any lovely ladies got some samples of paint pots they are willing to sell. I have not tried this product yet and would like to see what it is like before committing to buy a whole paint pot. Thanks heaps

 

[xLongLashesx]

Ha ha enchantin' I didn't know you could even ask for them! Wow give me a little of everything please!

Really? Way to promote the product Myer Sydney! Boooooo.

I ask for them all the time and have *never* been denied. You should have dumped a bunch into your hand to "sample" and then ran off to find a baggie haha.

 

[simplyenchantin]

So true, Bibi! I totally nicely asked if "by any chance" do they give out pigment samples? And she was all like "No. We only give out foundation samples." and I was like "oh okay well thanks!". Pfft @ Sydney. If I was in Melbourne anyone would've given me one

Sal: Yeah for sure, they normally very happily give out samples of everything that can be shoved in a sample jar!! My fave MUA at Chadstone scraped me half a creme blush into a sample pot coz it was discontinued and I couldnt buy it anywhere, lol! Oh, and Kira gives me samples of skin stuff all the time, I have heaps of pots of studio moisture cream, microfine refinisher, strobe cream etc.

Usually they want to a) promote the product, and b) let you try it to see if it's for you before you end up spending money on something you don't even like!

I'll stop ranting now. I'm wandering if I should bother trying the Paddington store, I really want a sample of push the edge and heritage rouge coz I'll seriously never finish an entire pot of it.

I just quickly went to the shops last night to go and take advantage of Kmarts buy 2 get one free in the cosmetics department. But i stopped by the wharehouse Pharmacy first and ended up getting the Revlon Foundation and powder there for only 19.95 each (cheaper than the 36 at kmart).

Then i went to groove to buy a cheap silver glitter for a tutorial and they had this huge stand of most the NYX products

I didnt get any because i was feeling sick and just wanted to get home but I can't wait to go back!!!

Oh and i also bought Lucas Paw paw ointment and stocked up on sponges again. Nothing too exciting

 

[xLongLashesx]

Wow! I have always wanted to try the skin care but I feel safe with my dermalogica.. guess I can sample it! I feel weird about asking for free stuff though so I'd probably only do it when I'm actually buying other stuff.

 

[Pinupsundae]

Wow, I had no idea MAC gave out samples of anything! I think I'd still be too shy to ask most of the time though haha!

 

[simplyenchantin]

When you get to know a MUA they seem to offer from what I've experienced lol! When I first started talking to Kira about my stupid dry skin problems she said "Okay try this and this and this and this" and just loaded me up with sample pots of various things to try solve the problem!

That's what the tester bottles are there for, after all

I don't see any difference between swatching stuff on your hand or taking a tiny sample home for later use, they both serve the same purpose.

 

[~Crystal~]

I am sooooo annoyed with myself!! >.<

My latest haul? 3 x Prep n prime line filler.

Yep line filler. Not Refined zone, which is what I had MEANT to get. the problem is, I can't remember if i asked her for refined zone, which is what I WANTED and she gave me the wrong thing, or line filler (because that's what i use refined zone for!)

ugh.
