Sorry to hear you didn't have the best time

I'm still jealous anyway!

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

^^ Haha..I think its just that I see the photos of what the LA and London etc shows are like and then I go to the Sydney one and I'm like

... It seemed a little bigger than last years one though, so hopefully it will grow over the years

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

Damn, wish I could feel all those brushes!!

At least you got to try out some new stuff, Carina? How were the classes etc? Did you attend any?

Ohhh.. Yes, I blame Bibi for Hakuhodo lemmings

They seem really reasonably priced too hehe..

Me too!! I so want to try Guerlain's gold primer and foundation, but they don't have samples.. Ever since I have been using their meteo pearls, I can't seem to wear any other finishing powder either. I want their eyeshadow palettes!

 

[spectrolite]

Hehehe you all need to get on team Hakuhodo

I would like more but I'm trying to save for Venomous Villains. Get at least 1 if you go back tomorrow Carina. Maybe try a powder or blush brush, they feel so nice on your skin, no scratchiness at all. What was the pricing like for Hakuhodo at IMATS??

 

[sambibabe]

Buwahaha I think I am safe from MAC for awhile! Venomous who?

Has anyone tried Clea de peu stuff? Everyone is raving about their stuff and I want to know what I am missing out!

I need to stop looking at Hakuhodo site. Wish I could get one of each

 

[simplyenchantin]

^^ I got a gorgeous palette with 2 darker purple shades and 2 lighter ones. It is SO pretty (I think I am easily impressed coz I never look at Chanel and Dior palettes like you guys do

) I'll take a picture tomorrow!

I've stopped reading Temptalia.. she makes me want everything too hahaha!

Yeah, how much were the Hakuhodo's?! I really wanted a blush brush

Nat, do you want me to try get you some samples?? The Guerlain consultant is my bud hahah. <3

Oh my gosh, that would be great Mich!!!

And I got a few accessories from Sportsgirl. I'm obsessed with their flower broaches/hair pins. I think I have all of the colours now hehe!

I feel a bit out of it today, because I received three packages!! All with massive packaging materials, so I am still swimming my way around through the bubble wraps and crunched newspapers

)
3 Hakuhodo eye brushes and a face brush
2 packs of disposable mascara wands

From specktra sale
NARS Iceland duo

I went to a few

They seemed a little bit amateurish to me. One of the guys said straight out that he sucked at public speaking and then sat there silent for like 5 mins... I felt like asking him "if you dont like public speaking, why did you offer to do a class!!!!!" lol

I decided to resist getting any Hakuhodo because I know how OCD I am and once I have one, I will want all of them.. hahahaha.. Maybe next year after my wedding is over and done with I'll buy the whole lot at IMATS

Pricing was the same as what it is on their website. And with the strong Aussie dollar, that pretty freakin cheap

I'm so excited to get my piggies and blush! I'm kicking myself for not getting the nail polishes through the CP. I decided to just get them here and they were meant to come out 2 weeks ago but they have now been delayed until 18 October!

Glad you like your stuff! And sorry for the mega packaging

lol.. I just wanted your babies to arrive safe and sound..

hahaha

I am lemming NARS so bad because of you! I keep looking at KissandMakeupNY and filling my cart and then I have to stop myself and close the window.. lol

Oh and I contacted them about my orders Nat and they havent even shipped yet! The nail polishes I ordered in both orders were out of stock, so they are getting stock in the next day or two and then they will ship it out.. At least they arent lost

^Lemme know what you think of the Hakuhodo brushes Nat

^Carina I mailed your parcel out this afternoon so it should get to you tomorrow. I am loving Pet Me blush and Bloodline piggie. It blends really nicely. I thought Pet Me wouldn't show up well on my skin but its really lovely.

^Next up on my haul list is Venomous Villains and Sugarpill! OMG how good is the Aussie dollar against the US dolla atm?! Take advantage of it girls >_<

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

Thank you so much Bibi! The goodies arrived today! I'm so excited to use them! I'm totally blown away by mauvement pigment! It is gorgeous!

I know, the dollar is fantastic at the moment!!!

I sent my money through for my VV CP and I only paid $16AUD more than what the total was in USD.. The exachnge rate was around 0.92 when I did it.. I think it is even higher now!

Edited to say: Probably should tell everyone what I actually got from Bibi

Mauvement pigment
Lithe pigment
Bloodline pigment
Pet Me MB
Utterly Game MB

I am kicking myself not getting the smudge brush now!! Oh my gosh Carina and Bibi, I absolutely love their brushes!!! Especially the eye brushes. They are soft, yet firm - picked up just enough shadows and blended like dream! Actually, I didn't even need to blend much, but I will play with more contrasting shades tomorrow and then I will know for sure. They are better than handmade Shu brushes, which I paid big bucks for!! I might go OCD and buy a few more of each later. Carina, did you see any blending brushes like 217 or 224?

I love the mega packaging!!

I can never have enough bubble wrap lol.
Hahaha.. I do the same thing Carina!! I keep checking stuff on NARS.com. I don't think I can rest, until I have most of their eyeshadows

So you never received the shipping notification then? Haha worried over nothing. Still!! It is better knowing that your order has been delayed, rather than it is lost.. But you would be playing with your Douceur blush right now!! I got mine today and I don't know if I want to swipe it!! (Damn NARS imprints lol)

 

[sambibabe]

Oh and today's haul:

NARS Push Brush
NARS Douceur Blush
NARS Foundation pump x2
NARS ITA brush
NARS Yachiyo brush
NARS Biarritz single shadow

Can't wait to use NARS artisan brushes.. they look so zen

How cool are their packaging!

Yes, I have signed up for Hakuhodo anonymous

They are sooo cool. I just wish that they would have the codes/numbers imprinted on the handle though, because I would never remember what they are. Only the red handle ones have it?

Here is the pic, Bibi.. First three are Hakuhodo and the last one is my Shu sable brush. You can see it looks kinda rough, compared to H

 

[simplyenchantin]

^^ Omg they look awesome

I so missed out.. but looking at their website I wouldn't know what to order first hahah!

Forgot to post a pic of the Guerlain stuff.. sorry about the crappy quality

Nat, PM me the names of the stuff you want!

 

[sambibabe]

Mich, I had no idea what to order either.. So I just ordered some eye brushes recommended in their knowledge section lol..

Oh I remember that Guerlain quad! Don't use it!!!

It is not pretty once the overlay's gone!!

By the way, just placed a Strawberrynet order. NARS duo is listed as $33.50, but once you put it in the cart, it is $31.50 AUD? So I ordered two duos and a single and got a free CK lippy lol.. $81.50 for everything, which is basically how much you pay for a NARS duo at Mecca

 

[simplyenchantin]

^^ Nice! I might have to order some NARS on strawberrynet then.. let me know how yours go!

I know, the overlay is gorgeous isnt it hehehe. I have so many purples but the quad seems SO pretty I had to have it

I got your samples today btw, had to steal some jars from Dior and Bobbi coz I had none heheh. Let me know where to send them

I ordered NARS duo from Strawberrynet before and it was perfect

Yes, the testers at Gurlain no longer have overlay and they don't look the same.

Oh my gosh, are you serious? That was soo quick! Our local counter at Guerlain never have anyone and the Chadstone store refused to give me any samples.. Thanks so much Mich!!
