I get so excited at a MAC counter that all my sense just flies out the window!

Well I couldn't be bothered looking for my eyelash glue so my haulage today was a new tube of that lol.

I also bought two really pretty headbands with beading. One has peacocky kinda colours with lots of purple too, so I might wear that one if I do a purple look tonight.

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

Ok I just did a quick scan of all the nail polish sites that I know of and it seems Essie is up to 8USD per bottle everywhere now

They must have upped the price from the manufacturing end... The only places that I know of that still has them cheaper is enailsupply.com (6.95USD per bottle) but their shipping is expensive... and maiandjays on ebay still has their essie polises listed at 6.50USD and you can get the free shipping with 10 bottles or more.... :S

Poooooooooo! I dont want to pay 8USD a bottle! lol

I have a pass to go, but I won't be going there till I have money to spend. I will also have to come up with a BS why they need to give me a pass

Any idea, Sal?

The Poolside nail polishes are so much fun! They need more coats than usual but I love them.

I bought Alegra, Charla, Mimi (twice

) and Ivanka from the Sparkles collection and Perrie from the Flash collection (its lavender.. can't resist haha). They haven't been shipped yet but I hope they will be shipped soon. My nails demands sparkles!

So far my skin does like the Cucumber cleansing lotion its just that I expected more ingredients. The moisturizer is great though. Which moisturizer would you recommend for the night? It feels kind of weird to apply a moisturizer with SPF for the night.

Anyway, I got sidetracked.. I was trying to say welcome back Jeanette and Bibi, I love MB lol

Hey Nat!
Wow they sure uhm.. know what they are talking about.

*I won't admit how many unused nail polishes I have.. I won't admit how many unused nail polishes I have*

Yes it now really is a rip off.
My guess would be that Essie doesn't want the etailers to sell their products below their regular instore retail price. If a polish is really worth it I would pay $8 but not on transdesign because they are very accurate with the worth they write outside of the package. Not good for the customs.

^I don't use Mario for my night cream so I don't have any recommendations from that line. I can vouch for and recommend L'Occitane's Imortelle Very Precious Cream. I've been using it religiously for 3 years now and it is wonderful. It's really rich but does not leave you greasy and in the morning you wake up with super soft, hydrated skin.

 

[sambibabe]

Carina, those nail polishes look yummy!! Doesn't the mint green one look like Peppermint Patti though?

Jeanette, from MB, I use Buttermilk moisturizer, if I need extra moisture. But usually, I use Dior serum (I am all about serum/essence) and MB Vitamin C serum every other day.

Oh well.. I guess Essie polishes are still cheaper than MAC polishes

And not much more expensive than my favorite Nubar. Oh yeah, way cheaper than my absolute favorite Nfu-oh.

 

[capmorlovesmac]

Thank you for the recommendations girls!

Oh I forgot to add the haul from this morning: 1kg fresh strawberries. Fresh strawberries are one of the very few things I like about Spring.

And I forgot a haul I am beyond excited about from two weeks ago: two of the Barbie loves Stila smudgepots. Little Black Dress and Cobalt Clutch. Love them! Now I only need to get my hands on the purple smudge pot.

Does anyone of you have the gray smudge pot? It is good?

I know! They look amazing.. Soooo creamy and opaque looking... I will definitely be getting these, even at 8 horrible US dollars a pop...

Ohhhh I want Mimi as well! It looks amazing in all the swatches I have seen! I love purple!

Its a pity Transdesign doesnt stock Zoya... Where do you get your Zoya from Jeanette??

I think Turquoise & Caicos is a lot darker than peppermint patti but i dont actually own that nail polish so I could be wrong - I'm only going from the swatches on all lacquered up...
MAC Sugarsweet – Peppermint Patti & Seasonal Peach | All Lacquered Up

From ebay. It really is a pity that transdesign and the other etailers don't stock Zoya.

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

^^ yes it is

 

[Susanne]

My latest haulage: Chanel 505 Particuliere n/p. Yay!!

 

[simplyenchantin]

Oh I luuuurve that nailpolish!

I wore it the other day and my friend told me it looked yuck, so I told her she was ignorant, and that it was Chanel! bahahahahahahah! I think it is gorgeous! lol

I really wanted Mistral from the new range of Chanel n/p but I just saw temptalia's review of them and Mistral doesnt look nearly half as pretty as the swatches on alllacqueredup :S So I think I'll pass now

I'll save for Essie instead

Hmmmm indeed! If we get 42 bottles from Transdesign, shipping is 57USD which isn't that bad, because if you got 4 separate orders of 9 bottles, shipping would be 72USD... hehehe... now to find 21 bottles of polish that we each want.... ;P

well.. a friend of mine just went in and asked for one. Her husband is a small business owner (not really, he fixes pc's in his spare time) and they gave one to her on the pretense that they are all about building business r/ships or something.

I'm thinking of emailing EL and asking what businesses they allow guest visits to. So far I know they let Virgin and Optus staff in.
