Aw I am sorry!! Just do this

to me next time I do that! I am still annoyed with the collections repeating the same old shades again, then I fell in love with the perm stuff. So now I buy both perm and collections. Doh

Hahaha.. Nah its good to have a balance of opinions I reckon. Otherwise it would be too easy to just get caught up in the hype.... and I think I have come full circle with MAC too because I am starting to feel that they are just repeating the same stuff also.....

 

[spectrolite]

^I've definitely noticed the repeating as well. Same old products, with a different name or packaging :| Soooo these days I'm much more choosy. I'll only buy shades/products that are unique to my collection and are sure to be come cult faves or sell out. Anything else is just mehhhhh. I've been enjoying branching out from Mac lately as well and supporting smaller independent companies

Thanks Carina

It is also a problem CPing so much too.. I go by swatches and when I get them, they look very similar to what I already have. It is a total WTF and DOH moment. But then the amount of money I save... Oh well lol

Today's haulage- Maybelline's colour sensational lippies.. OMG these are so freaking awesome!!

I got Nearly There and Born with It and both are so incredibly pretty and smooth. There's also a good mix of satin/frosty finishes in the range and some really sophisticated colours that I wasn't expecting. I'm not normally a lipstick girl but these are

Also- a spiffy new fishtank for my goldfishes. The bowl I had them in was so sad, now they're in a bright new tank and they look stoked! If fish could be stoked that is..

Yeah, I'm a big Alice in Wonderland fan, so I had to get them. I also wanted to try out UD e/s, too.

I can't wait to see the movie!!

I had a basket of stuff and put it down and just said oh really, and left. Lol

That is so rude!! I can't believe the nerve of these people! Plus I think makeup is a form of art anyhow. You go girl!!

Where do you live again sambibabe? lol

Cool! I have to have a lookie, thanks xLongLashesx

My small haul from yesterday (or should I say 2 days ago):
Petticoat Mineralized Skinfinish
By Candlelight Mineralized Skinfinish
half n half l/s

I also paid for my VIP night for SCF!! I can't wait to go! I'm going to buy back ups of the blush ombres, quad 3, laugh a lot l/s and radicchio. Also check out couple of items on SCF I wasn't too sure about with the swatches.

 

[sambibabe]

Hahaha are you sure you want to get backups of all those, sunniechan? There are so many pretty purple shades in the perm range too.. Such as Beautiful Iris, Parfait Amour, etc

I don't know.. I have backups of a few products, but doubt I would get to use them.. Especially MAC is releasing similar/same shades often.

 

[sunniechan]

lol! I *heart* you so much sambibabe! Always giving me such good advices. Yeah, but quad 3 will be a definite backup. Only perm purple eyeshadows that work for me is trax. I wore the quad 3 and got so many compliments, even my girlfriend who has zero interest in makeup. Also 3 MAC muas stopped at their tracks and complimented me on the look. The quad is such a wearable everyday shadows and my obsession with purple is too strong. XD

As for the blush ombres, tbh I wasn't too sure on getting backups of them. Thanks to you I'll think about it before backing it up. Since my line of logic was better safe then sorry. As for the lipsticks, I went had a look at perms to see if they had anything similar to LAL or Radicchio and they didn't. Also since I hate shopping for lipsticks and they compliment my very pigmented lips very well, I'll get them I think.

 

[spectrolite]

^Please stop talking about that quad lol... You are making me want to buy ittttt!!! I passed on it since I already have the colour Flip.... maybe I need it anyways..? Oh the humanity!

^Ahhhhh okay okay I'm convinced that...I......really...really... should.... have it! lolz

[spectrolite]

Well, I do need to build my neutral collection and I can always sell the Flip pan I have at the moment. I've really gone palette crazy lately.

 

[sambibabe]

LOL Bibi, sunniechan was talking about the purple quad, not the neutral quad! I still bought quad 4, even though I already have Flip e/s. Damn purple quad is sold out in US, so I don't know if I want to pay $80 something for a quad here.. Hang on.. Isn't it how much I paid for HK palette here? LOL.. I don't want to remember. Anyway, I agree.. Now I want to go and check out quad 3!

Haha.. thanks sunniechan.. If quad 3 is that back up worthy, might as well!! Especially you know you would wear it all the time!

And you rock it!! What's with purples nowdays? I wore Facefront cosmetics purple pigments and everyone stopped me to compliment too. Is it new pink?

 

[panda0410]

Awww, you ladies making me miss MAC... I really fell off the bandwagon, Inglot is better quality e/s IMHO and I have been filtering through Inglot counter actually

I AM lemming the new blushes but I didnt get any of them, maybe an ebay ouchie later...LOL!!!

I am really on a huge fragrance kick right now, I havent had a bottle of perfume for almost 18 months, since my Gucci ran dry, was too depressed after Pete left to even think about smelling good, let alone look good. Now I am overcompensating...LOLOL...the last few months this is what I have bought/swapped for, all 100ml

Flowerbomb

[sambibabe]

^ Oh my gosh Panda!!! My mother in law complimented on my perfume today and it was Hugo Boss. Sometimes I get crazy perfume lemmings, but it is something I try not to spend my own money

Okay.. I have spent last 20 minutes looking at quad 3 swatches.. Hmmm.. I don't like Shale or Trax, so Bruised Plum is kinda purple that I usually stay away from. Who is thinking about getting quad 3?

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

^^

Thats a shi*tload of perfume!

lol @ spectrolite, that made me have a giggle! So cute! Yeah, like sambibabe said I'm talking about the purple quad. The neutral quad is very nice though

, but if you have a lot of neutral e/s maybe a skip?

It'll be cheaper to get in Australia then ebay, plus I just saw on the SCF thread there's counterfeits of them already :S.

Great perfume haul there panda! I used to be a perfume collectie, then I stopped because I had so many that I didn't use, so I'm on a ban.

I tried on Shale at the store but it made me look like I have a bruise. Bruise Plum and Trax nor Black Tulip and Trax are nothing a like imho. I'm not very good at describing colours but Bruised Plum is like a mauvey pink that comes out like pink with slight purple undertones on my lid and Trax is more winey dark purple. Black Tulip is like purple with blue undertones, it's very pretty for definition or on the lid for smokey look.

If you want it still pm me

.

Oh, forgot to mention I swatched Bruised Plum, Trax and Black Tulip together, but my camera didn't capture the colours in this light so if you want swatches let me now and I'll do it during the day tomorrow.

 

[panda0410]

LOL, its easier to spray perfume than do a whole face of makeup when you're feeling down, the pretty smell is an immediate pick up

I'm going on a ban soon too, though I must admit to being a pretty heavr perfume user, I had 15 bottles 10 years ago that didnt last me 3 years, these wont last too long either

Sunni, its cheaper on US ebay atm than Au retail is going to be for those blushes, Au MAC slug far too much shipping flat rate for single items

I'm pretty good with counterfeits, I reckon I could hedge a pretty good bet...LOL
