Apparently this guy handcrafts all his pieces and supplies to the stores.. I have been eyeing a vanity table at Ikea and when I went back there last year, it was no longer in stock! It is in stock everywhere else in the world, but not Australia. How typical.. MissChivous has the same set up.. I will have the different lighting though. I want the backstage table light!

Oh wow, how exciting! That's amazing, you'll be able to have it just the way you want it. I need some sort of awesome set up like that.

Graveyard shift, again! MQ, Repunzel, panda, sambi (not sure who else, just did a quick scan)... It's nice to have you girls up late! I don't get to sleep before 3 or 4 each morning either, Nat.

 

[sambibabe]

It is only me and Repunzel so far..

Yeah, it is great to speak to someone from here, because I only get to speak to my North American friends at this time of night/morning lol..

 

[Repunzel]

omg that was dressing table porn,i think i just wiped drool from my shirt...
so your going to get the guy to make a table like that?

 

[sambibabe]

^^^LMAO!!
Yeah, the same design, but not as long.. He is making it in pine wood and stain it in Oak finish.. I already picked up the mirror from Ikea clearance section (same one in the pic). It was $100 cheaper lol.. He is only charging me $275!

 

[Repunzel]

i'm at the website now,and the MUSIK Wall lamp looks good.closest to backstage light.
that's really cheap.if you don't mind PM me his number.

 

[sambibabe]

Yeah, that's the light I saw in Ikea!! They had it in the bathroom setting and it looked great! Sure, I will get his number off hubby and PM you in the morning.. I am not sure if he can give you the same pricing, but I don't see why not lol..

 

[Repunzel]

great thanks, i do my makeup in the bathroom 2,and its bad you know the humidity and all,lack of space etc.did you show him the video?.he should give you a discount for all the buisness you will get him lol
well i'm going to bed,night

 

[sambibabe]

^^^I agree.. I would love to actually 'sit down' and do my makeup, so I can rest my elbow on the tabletop for more stability. I am not sure if he saw the video, but it doesn't really worry me if it is not the same. I looked around EVERYWHERE and no one had a dressing table like that. Especially under $500.. Even tables above $500 were either laminated or veneer wood.. BTW, That was the discounted pricing lol.. He is hubby's customer and if he supplies to the stores, he charges more.

 

[simplyenchantin]

I so want one like that too, Nat! I'm so excited for you. I've been doing my make up at my study desk but now that I'm back to uni (first day today!!

) I had to clear all my make up off it haha! Now I have to run back and forth when I'm trying to figure out what I want to use.

It's a great idea to get it made though. Unfortunately I don't know where I'll be living in the near future so it wouldn't be a good idea for me right now!

I'd love some pics of it when it's finished!! <3

 

[rockin26]

I do my makeup in my bathroom and it's such a pain! the lighting is a bit yellow and I have the 2 spot lights directed to the mirror but after a while I start to bake! My house has the worst lighting, it's so dark I'm finding it hard to prac my bases on people because I cannot make out there skin tones half the time. I'm going to have to invest in a lamp of some kind, any recs on lamps??

 

[darkorchid]

Sambibabe - I am toootally jealous! I was totally heartbroken when I found that they don't have that Ikea table anymore. It was perfect...with that long drawer...and its the perfect size...*drools

I tried trawling through Salvation Army stores for an older style table to maybe do up, but then i found my dream desk at Officeworks! price tag sucks though

$229. Need to save.

No probs, Simplyenchantin! I will post picture, when it is delivered! Hope you have a fun day back at uni today!!

rockin, you just need a natural colour light? Can't you just change the bulb of your existing lighting to natural colored ones?

I also bought Bobbi Brown's new makeup manual yesterday. Only $15, so I couldn't say no.

Wow, that's one heck of lipstick haul darkorchid!! Looks like you will wear different lippies for the next 14 days!!

 

[panda0410]

My Rocking Chick arrived today and thats enough for me to be so excited!!! LOL - I LOVE it!!!

I love reading through everyones purcahses here - its really nice to see what other people are into as well

 

[sambibabe]

^^Yay!!! Is that the colour you were after though? Thought it was lighter than the dark fuschia pigment..

I wasn't going to buy anything till next Thursday.. But since I am only getting a few stuff from HK VIP night (I think..), I bought:

Cantaloupe Pro Blush
Melt in your Mouth c/g
Mink and Sable e/s (before it disappears)
Top Knot e/s
Dazzlepuss d/g
And my Pleasantry mineralised blush arrived today.. Yay!!

 

[panda0410]

YAY!! I love when things come!! I am still waiting for my Dazzlepuss, but it shouldnt be too long now - it should be this week

How does the Canteloupe rate? I know corals look nice on me, but I actually prefer cooler colours myself - is it bright? Maybe like Fleurry? I have that and dont use it often

The Rocking Chick is pretty close to what I wanted

I think I could touch it up with a bit of BF piggie and some clear gloss (or the new one from Sugarsweet) and I will be utterly in love

hehehehe

 

[rockin26]

I just ordered Woodwinked and Seedling off Smart Poppy with money I don't have.....

But yay for finding Woodwinked!!!

 

[sambibabe]

I don't have Canteloupe with me, but I did try it at the pro store awhile ago. It is pigmented! I've never seen Fleurry, but Canteloupe is bronzy peach colour, I think.. I bought it as a blush to go with Ravishing lol.. Don't think I will get all of MSFs from Sugar Sweet, so more money goes to Grand Duos..

Hope you like Woodwinked rockin!
