^^ I know! Doh! I have been a Shu mascara fan though, so I am not sure if I want to go and buy Chanel mascara without trying first

Got to work this morning and the package from Kiss and Makeup was waiting for me! Woohoo! I had to check all the shadows straight away, because hubby said he heard the postie dropping it on the floor. The packaging was a bit sloppy too, so I was scared that there might have been some shattered shadows, but no.. Phew! So now I have:

NARS Portobello Eyeshadow Duo
NARS Mogambo Eyeshadow Duo
NARS Daphne Eyeshadow
NARS Coconut Grove Eyeshadow
NARS Cap Vert Multiple

And yesterday I received:

NARS Barbuda Eyeshadow
NARS Blending and wide contour brushes

I thought it was LE! That's great news if it is yayyyy!

The Chanel powder was $90

I know, I'm insane but I HAD TO HAVE IT

I havent even used it yet! I just keep opening it and then deciding it is too pretty to use!

Ohhhh thats good to know!

^I'm counting on you for a swatch so bust that thing out and swipe a finger riiiiiight down the middle hehehehe! >_< And you shouldn't feel bad about $90. Think of the joy it brings you. That is priceless right? When ever my friends feel bad about a purchase they made I remind them of my $300 perfume and they instantly cheer up. I invite you to do the same

My Cherry Culture order arrived today in record time yayy! Still no news on the Mac crack Carina

Boooo!

 

[redambition]

Antique Green piggie arrived today.

I feel so guilty as I wasn't meant to buy any new makeup bits for a while!

Haha I was going to swatch it today Bibi, but I couldnt bring myself to do it... hahaha.. But yes, the story about your perfume does make me feel better

haha thank you!

Thats ok about the Mac crack! To be honest I'm more excited about my NARS stuff now

I got another false eyelash order from MadameMadeline today. Seriously cant believe I didnt find this site earlier. Fastest shipping ever and I got 10% off and a free pair of lashes!! Awesomesauce!

If it makes you feel any better, I have been on a makeup ban since 1 January 2010, but I have been ignoring the ban since 2 January 2010 hehehe

I refused to be on a ban. Just tell me to go and die!

LOL, my thoughts exactly.

I hauled from MAC last

Gaga, St Germain and Patisserie lippies
Scheemer lipglass (could not say no)
Leopard Luxe Palette (it is so pretty)
Eyeliners in On the Hunt and Defiantly Feline

This was pretty restrained for me, I was trying to be a "good girl." Instead, I end up just trying to limit the "bad girl."

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

Ok so I'm not sooo upset with Vivid Nails anymore because this just arrived for me at work as a "Sorry we lost your package" present.

Squeeeeeeee!!

Nat - I decided not to get the refund and let them reorder my polishes in

hopefully I get them soon...

 

[sambibabe]

Woo hoo!! I remember that rose thingy..

I have a thing with those Nfu Oh bottles - they are sooo cute!

Nice haul Carina! And yes.. I see you still love sticking your Post-it

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

^^ The rose looks like it has a necklace or something in it??? :S

I still cant believe they sent me so many for free!

Yeh the bottles are ridiculously gorgeous!!

Haha yes I'm obsessed with post-its

they are all over my desk and in my bag, in my draws.. everywhere! haha

Yes, it is a necklace

I forgot to give it to my 7 yo niece lol..

I can't believe they sent you so many either. Hope the package would turn up to them though!

I think I am going to order some Nfu Oh polishes next month

Thanks Carina!

Hahaha I still remember your law book! It had so many post-its attached to it, soon it will fly!! I have to admit I am a bit obsessed with Post-its too.. Whoever came up with it (was it Romy or Michelle

), I have them plastered everywhere! Mostly the list of my lemmings and the stuff I am waiting for

Hehehe... That sounds like my kind of ban!

Mine isn't a ban so much, I'm just trying to use up some things before buying up new stuff!

 

[sambibabe]

Okay, so my first order with Kiss and Makeup sucked. These are the photo of the products (how they came). Kiss and Makeup denies that they ever touched them.. Apparently they spoke to NARS and they denied as well. The funny thing is K&M keeps on saying they must have been knocked around en route to me OR powdered items can get sweaty and settle back looking swiped.

I have been ordering many stuff from overseas for the past 3 years and collecting MU since 1995, this is totally new to me!

 

[lara]

Woo! My Lippman 'Bad Romance' and 'Around The Universe' polishes arrives from Kiss & MakeUp today

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

^^ I ordered those n/p too! I cant wait for them to arrive

That's such a shame about K&MNY Nat.. I have placed a couple of orders with them in the past and thankfully I didnt have any problems... It sucks that your products didnt arrive in perfect condition

I hauled a little at IMATS today

Got a whole bunch of Royal & Langnickel brushes, MUFE HD foundation, MUFE HD blush, Ben Nye Blushes, disposable mascara wands and some jars and other disposable bits and pieces...

I didn't spend as much as I thought I would. I'm not even close to finishing some of the stuff I got last year so I didnt want to buy anything that I didnt really need...

I got my mum a small bunch of Royal brushes as well and a little brush roll to put them in.. she was so stoked

 

[simplyenchantin]

^^ Awesome haul Carina!! Did you have fun?? I was day dreaming about IMATS alllllll day at work today but I picked up some 50% Guerlain goodies so it's not too bad hey

Thanks Carina. Even my swapped eyeshadows don't come with a swiping mark like that.

How do you like Royal brushes? I've heard about them, but never saw them. All I have are MUFE, MAC and NARS brushes

Are they good quality?

Are you going back tomorrow?

I went to shopping, but no makeup hauls.. Just a sample of Chanel Inimitable Intense mascara lol..

 

[lara]

Royal brushes aren't amazing, but they're also $4 so you don't really end up caring if they're a bit dodgy

I bought a bunch of Crown brushes, some bits and bobs from MUFE, some Ben Nye thingos and some other stuff that has escaped my memory 'cause I'm a wee bit drunk. I'll get them all blogged tomorrow and give a less vague list then

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

Nat, the Royal brushes I bought at the last IMATS have been fantastic. I have used them on myself pretty much every day since I got them. For such a cheap brush, I haven't had any fall out from them, the ferrules haven't tarnished or come off and none of them bled when washed... Not bad for a brush that costs between $3 to $7

Sadly I can't say the same for some of my MAC brushes! :S

I'm so tempted to go back tomorrow and get some of those Hakuhodo brushes that I picked up for you. They look simply devine

I can understand why Bibi raves about them!

Nat/Mich: Not sure if I will go back tomorrow. The show wasn't as fantastic as I wanted it to be

They just don't have enough exhibitors to justify the cost IMO....

Mich: That's awesome that you picked up Guerlain at 50% off!! I think that Temptalia uses one of their foundations and she is always raving about it. Makes me want to buy it
