What is your latest haulage?

[xLongLashesx]

LOL thanks Mich! We'll need it I'm sure!

I was looking at Feb 2012 but our circumstances have changed and now we're looking at March/April 2011.. and yes you need to get in quick! A family friend booked for March next year two months ago, and just squeezed in!

I'm tossing up between a casual hotel setting, or having it catered in my in-laws garden. I guess if there's no venues free it'll be the backyard! LOL

 

[rockin26]

That ring is beautiful Sal!

If you want to look at hotels I might be able to help, my hotel function rooms aren't awesome to look at but could be done up really nicely and a friend of mine is the wedding coordinator at the Park Hyatt, veeeeeery nice

I must admit I'm prett jealous of you gals with your wedding talk, I think I'm a long way off that still being single and all. Hey Sal does hubby have any cute single friends you could throw my way?? lol

 

[xLongLashesx]

Aww thanks Robyn! I'm more thinking pubs though, you know like an old hotel with loads of character and a nice atmosphere. I think the Hyatt might be out of my price range! LOL..

When it gets closer can I get you to come and do a trial? I'm already thinking of what makeups I want!

And on the single hot man track.. geez, I wish I could help! I was single for ages before I met him and have a LOT of (hilarious) bad date stories.. My theory is that all the nice normal guys are at after work drinks on a Friday afternoon. They go for a few beers at 5pm then scuttle off home by 9.. seriously.

*on a haulage note.. if anyone's interested but CBF cp'ing, ACW has the #130 brush for 35.99 US.. just backed up, I'd be devastated if anything happened to mine.

Beautiful ring Sal!! Yaaaay!! Have you thought about places up in the mountains and mornington peninsula?

Robyn, I am sure there is one for you, just waiting to be found, that's all

 

[rockin26]

Happy to do a trial with ya Sal!! You'll understand all my mental ramblings about how pretty makeups are, the other brides just smile politely and probably think I'm nuts!

There's a nice older hotel on St Kilda road called the Charsfield, very nice and loads of charecter but I don't know what there rates are like??

Thanks Nat, I'll find him maybe at Friday night drinks like Sal said but first I have to actually be bothered looking

Aww Sal you made me nervous just then when you said that you friend just scraped in with a March booking.... :S

I am thinking I would like to do it at the Sebel in the Hunter Valley... Its far enough away from where I live that only the people that really care about me and actually want to be there will come... hahaha...

I'm going to email them today...

Oh and Sal, why did you have to tell us about the brushes!!

I just got a 129 and 109 from ACW...

Thanks Nat! Yep I have thought about a mountain wedding.. my fiancee's parents have a house at the base of Mt. Buller. His dad is pushing for it to be held up there, at the house or there are some lovely wineries in the area. My partner and I are wine freaks, we'd just be 'tasting' the whole day.. lol!

Just googled Charsfield.. Ahh gorgeous! I'd love to spend a night or two that place!

Your brides are probably going wow.. she takes this stuff so seriously! You know someone asked me if I knew what 'apres ski' is the other night. I said 'it's a grey eyeshadow by MAC!'.. ah no.. apparently it has a whole other meaning besides being a MU item! LOL..

Oh I come from the Hunter originally! Definitely have it there, so pretty! Then let everyone run loose in the vineyards

yeah that was a little enabling with the 130.. couldn't pass it up though! I paid 70 something for it here..

Haha Robyn, do you know there is a saying, 'when you stop looking, the love will come to you'

You just need to be receptive lol.

Hunter Valley sounds fab Carina!! Have you seen Stealing Beauty with Liv Tyler in it? I can just picture Tuscan country side wedding

LOL Sal, I was thinking of more Olinda/Sassafras, but if your fiancee's parents are offering a free venue, then why not?

You can use the money for the cool honeymoon

Really? What else is it? Funny you mention Apres Ski because I just bought it today from a fellow Specktrette

 

[tangledrose]

Went to Kmart today for some cheap prestige mu.

Ended up getting :
Lipconcentrate in Bali
Lipgloss in sleek
Blushing duo
spark e/s
cast iron e/s
cayenne e/s
spearmint e/s

Haven't played with them yet but it was a nice cheap pick me up

 

[MrsMay]

Does it count as haulage if I went through my backup/stash drawer and found that I had a MUFE Smoky Lash mascara in there? I didn't think I had any more left but I had one more! Yay!!

Although if I can't find my lash glue sometime tomorrow I may need to drop into my nearest counter and pick some more up before I get ready for the hens night tomorrow night.

LOL.. apre ski is french for 'after skiing'.. generally relating to relaxing by the fire after a tough day on the slopes! Personally I like the MAC version better

 

[sambibabe]

^^Oh isn't it wonderful I get to learn new thing everyday

That reminds me, I need to use my apre ski tomorrow.. I think you grabbed that for me from EL warehouse, Sal!!

Hi everyone!

Its been so long since I posted here about a haul. Don't worry I haven't stopped hauling in the meantime.

It would be embarrassing though if I would write down all nail polishes I bought since the last time I posted in this lovely thread so I better just write what I got in the last weeks.

Yesterday a transdesign order arrived with polishes for me and a friend (me do not likey that Essie polishes are now $8 instead of $4!):
I got
- Essie, Main Squeeze (what a disappointment)
- Color Club, Groove Thang (love!)
- OPI, Nail Envy Matte (wow.. looks so natural on the nails)
- China Glaze, Strawberry Fields (finally!)
- China Glaze, Grape Juice (finally round two!)
- China Glaze, Secret Periwinkle

There is a new line of nail polishes from a german drugstore brand and they have some amazing new polishes in this line. One of them is a very close Chanel Jade dupe. But they haven't gotten a new shipment in two weeks and when I checked today the display was still almost empty.
I went to my MAC counter for a little cheer me up retail therapy and got the Ever Hip l/s from GMLOL. Gorgeous color!

Three other nail polish hauls (don't laugh!

) are on their way to me including a few from Zoya's Reverie and Sparkle collections, one Nubar Prism polish and a few Misa polishes.

Because I am now also a nail polish addict I did a stupid thing a few months ago. I was running out of my skincare so I switched to a cheaper one. Won't do that again.

It didn't cleanse enough and the moisturizer was too heavy.
So I decided to make room in my budget for a better skincare and yesterday the mailman brought me:
- Philosophy, Purity Made Simple cleanser (love it so far)
- Mario Badescu, Cucumber Cleansing Lotion (not impressed.. its just water, alcohol and cucumber or just alcohol, alcohol and alcohol? feels like it.)
- Mario Badescu, Aloe Vera moisturizer (feels a bit heavy for the night but great during the day)

Oh and I bought new casters for my work/computer chair but they don't count as a haul, right?

 

[spectrolite]

^Welcome >_< Yummy nail polishes! I'm going to haul from Transdesign any day now for the China Glaze "Pool Side" collection and from Ebay the Zoya "Sparkles" collection. Both look so amazing!!

It's a shame that Mario Bedescu isn't working so well for you

Maybe give them a while because your skin is still adjusting to them. I'm officially in love with the products I use from MB.

 

[sambibabe]

Hey Jeanette!!! Great to see ya back here!
Don't know about Cucumber cleansing lotion, but I got a glycolic foaming cleanser sample and it was fab. The girls working at KIT have no idea though. They told me to use Glycolic toner once a week, but when I read about it at MB site, it is actually safe to use twice a day

Same as all other advice they gave me to me, which were all wrong. Anyway, I got sidetracked.. I was trying to say welcome back Jeanette and Bibi, I love MB lol

This makes me want to cry

No more essie for me from Transdesign... What a rip off

 

[CatsMeow]

Also picked up a bottle of glycerol so I could make fake sweat for my photoshoot yesterday. heheh.
