What is your latest haulage?

[simplyenchantin]

^^ You're welcome! I told my bud and she was shocked that they wouldn't give you any samples. I'll post them to you tomorrow

(she might be finding out if they need consultants in melb hehehe)

 

[sambibabe]

Aw thanks Mich!! I can't wait! Finally Guerlain samples!
Yeah Chady Guerlain SA said they were out of all the samples. Doh.. So I told her, no try, no buy, especially how much they cost :$

Tell her to apply for Doncaster DJ? I have been to Guerlain counter so many times and never saw a consultant lol

Oh, I went to Chanel to buy a Lacque shade.. Instead, came home with Rouge Allure Pure Shine Intense Long Wear Lip Gloss in #55 Confidence, which is just like Ming Lacque but better wear for me. Oh my gosh, I love the formula. So creamy looking and so long lasting.. Would love to pick up a couple more!

^^ Yeah, she didn't have the right samples anyway, I just asked her to fill up empty pots for me. They don't have samples of the primer etc so yeah. You're right though, if they can't give you a sample why would you buy? They're extremely expensive lol!

Not for her to apply, for me to apply

Doncaster is too far for me haha.

Sugarpill haulage >_< OMG I've had the crappest time at work lately. Coming home to a cute parcel with a kitten on it, filled with gorgeous make up is just what I needed to cheer up. And a few nail polishes arrived too yay!

From Sugarpill I got some loose shadows:
- Stella - black with multi colour glitter
- Tipsy - green with gold sparkles
- Darling - teal with turquoise sparkles
- Birthday Girl - baby pink with pink sparkles
- Paper Doll - lilac with matching sparkles
- Starling - metallic blue with teal sparkles
- Absinthe - lime green with gold and green sparkles

From Ebay:
- China Glaze Ickabody + Zombie Zest

A bit of a sneaky haul... but some unusual items I've been after for ages!

Some 1g (5mL) makeup containers - with sifters! Perfect for me to decant pigments into, so I don't have the whole jar in use.
Some empty spray pump bottles
An empty lotion pump bottle
Polysorbate 85 (a solubiliser/emulsifier)
Safflower oil (a freebie)

The Polysorbate 85 is for an experiment I'm going to try - making my own cleansing oil! I found a recipe on YouTube and seeing as all I needed was the Polysorbate and a bottle (and I was ordering the 5mL containers anyway), I decided to give it a shot. Will let you guys know if it works.

Can I ask where you got these from? Very interested!

 

[sambibabe]

Woohoo!! A haul day for me too

Thanks soooo much for the samples Mich!! I am really looking forward to wake up tomorrow and use those samples

I know it sounds sad, but I get out of bed, in anticipation of playing with all my makeups

I can see the foundation and gold primer, but do you remember what the 3rd one is? Happy logy day?

And a haul from Strawberrynet.. Love how it only takes three days to get here! Bought:

NARS Rebecca Duo
NARS Wicked Duo
NARS Sophia shadow
Free CK lippy!!

 

[simplyenchantin]

^ You're welcome sweetheart. Happylogy is their preventative anti-wrinkle day cream/moisturiser

Enjoy!

I got everything from New Directions. They're based in Sydney (Marrickville) and stock containers, cosmetics ingredients and stuff! They have some really awesome things

 

[simplyenchantin]

^^ Thanks so much for that!! It's so funny because just yesterday I was looking for that kind of stuff and ended up ordering some jars and bits and peices from Coastal Scents and then found some eye-dropper type bottles on ebay.

 

[redambition]

No worries

I'd been looking for a local source for those small containers for ages... ND didn't have them until recently! I was so happy when I saw them, I'd been considering an order from Coastal Scents.

 

[spectrolite]

I've been having the worst time at work lately so some retail therapy was in order. I got:

Mario Bedescu Enzyme Cleanser
Hei Poa Coconut Oil - Vanilla scent
Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in Exces (red) and Insouciance (nude)

 

[Daph_]

Sorry for the crappy pic, lighting wasn't playing along..

In this pic: magnetics glamour brown, powerful purple and shimmering titanium (last two are holo's)
China glaze idk, 2nite and lol (which I was after for ages, and just stumbled upon it on a beauty fair)
CND The look set with Urban Oasis and Teal Sparkle (a gift to myself for getting two nines (9!) for my Spanish homework - I'm taking a Spanish course

Awesome Hollywood Nails duochrome/multichrome purple/green/grey, number 637

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? 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)

Sorry for the delay in replying! I have been unwell and then so busy with work, travel and study. I'm such a slacker

I'm sure I saw some brushes there that were similar to the 217 and 224, but I didnt look too closely because I was worried that if I did, I would max out my credit card buying them all.

And yep, I never received the shipping notification, and sadly, I still havent

I placed the orders on the 7th and the 14th and neither order has shipped yet. And I still havent got my Models Own order which I placed on the 20/8!! I emailed them last night and they sent me an email this morning saying that they pretty much forgot to reship my order but they have shipped it now and are going to reimburse me somehow to makeup for the delay...

And my Nfu Oh order from Vivid is still MIA. They havent contacted me since they sent me the free stuff.. I'm going to email them on Tuesday to find out what is happening...

I'm having the worst luck with orders lately

Is everything ok Bibi? You've been having a rough time there for a few weeks now

I hope you are ok?????

 

[spectrolite]

^Work sucks Carina :S There have been lots of changes because we have a new owner so now I have like no staff, my work load has tripled, my opening hours have decreased yet my budget has increased. I can't remember the last time I've come home on time. And I'm not getting any extra pay for all of the over time or even any encouragement or support. I've been bursting into tears every day pretty much which means no fun/bright looks because I don't want the makeup to run lol..

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

Oh that's terrible Bibi

I'm really sorry to hear you are having such a bad time there...

If you dont mind me asking, are you on a salary? Or are you paid under an award?

Its not right that you are working so much overtime and not getting paid. I'm sure that things would still be difficult, but if you were at least getting paid for your efforts, it might not be as upsetting....

I hope things improve soon...

 

[myystiqueen]

hey guys!!

lol it's been awhile since i'm around. Finally have the courage to pop in just to check on the VV collection and figured I'd drop by and say hi. Glad to see Nat, Mich and Bibi are still around..is robyn still around?^^ Missing myy specktra girls..

spent the whole day backtracking each threads and drooling over your haulage and everything.. but none of them works for me anymore. which is good

just got few stuffs from the VV collection CP'ed. Been eye-ing this thing since months ago just because of the packaging. The product itself doesn't really get me excited but well i'm a sucker for cute packaging. Oh does anyone know if the packaging is just a sticker like dame edna? Nordies just got the entire collection restocked so it's just in time.

oh and here's what I got:
Revenge is Sweet lipglass
She Who Dares mineralized eyeshadow
Strange Potion lipglass
Vainglorious eyeshadow
Oh So Fair beauty powder (idek if this will work on myy nc35 skin)
Darkly My Dear blush
Heartless lipstick

i heard they increased the price because of the disney licence.. i can't imagine how much it will be in RRP -__- but yay for strong dollar rate!! its like getting everything in AU$

^Thanks Carina >_< It really helps to vent! I just cannot cope with the stress and don't appreciate being mistreated after 6 years of loyal service and giving 150% every day. I'm on a salary and they consider over time "expected" as part of the job.

^Welcome back myystiqueen! So lovely to see you posting again.

No problem Carina! Thanks for that. Dang! I should have just asked you to look for it

I couldn't find it on their website.

It sucks that you are having so much problems with getting your orders. At least if you had a difficult week, some nice hauls would have cheered you up. I kept thinking about Kiss and Makeup NY and sent them another email and they decided to ignore me completely. So I will just never order from them again

Hey Dea, good to see you back here again!

Bibi, I am sorry you are having a hard time at work. I used to be in a stressful job and had to quit.. It was either that or end up with a depression. Nothing worse than having people take you for granted..

Hugs to everyone.. Hope everyone have a better week next week.. With lots of hauls to nurture our souls too
