uni 70% off mac bazaar / blue storm haulage eyecandy

[chazza]

our uni had a mac bazaar where (mostly) discontinued mac items were sold at crazy discounts! to give you some idea, the pigments were sold at SGD$14 (retail price is SGD$36!) it was some crazy sale...it was 20 mins just to queue up to get in, and another 20 min long queue at the cashier. anyways, SGD$149 (excluding the blue storm stuff) got me:

(1) 5 eye brush clutch
(2) whirlwind, rainyday and cumulus e/s from blue storm
(3) rite of spring e/s
(4) 4 face brush clutch
(5) wildly lush plushglass
(6) moonstone lipgelee
(7) darksoul pigment
(8) sultress eyes quad (aria, pure energy, fake, sultress)

terrible picture but from left:
(face brushes) 194SE, 190SE, 168SE, 187SE
(eye brushes) 209SE, 212SE, 275SE, 217SE, 252SE

closeup of the eye stuff.


errmm sorry for the stupid bedspread.. woopee! gonna play with my new stuff now. btw, does anyone know exactly which collections the brush sets and quad are from?

[pichima]

oh my, that must have been crazy hahah!
I'm literally drooling over your haul ^^

at the national university of singapore (NUS)...i was so excited to hear that they were bringing in mac (for the first time i think) for our cosmetic bazaar cos previous brands like stila, origins and clinique don't really appeal to me as much.

the prices were dirt cheap, considering they are in singapore dollars! O_O

 

[chazza]

thank you! me too! i'm really loving the lip stuff i got but having thoughts abt selling the rite of spring and darksoul...

 

[Krasevayadancer]

[jilliandanica]

[parysse]

It's lovely, a great haul . The dress sets are beautiful.

 

[nunu]

great haul!

 

[MsButterfli]

great haul, wow...my school sucked lol

 

[chazza]

not much better but i took the brushes out of their plastics and here's a picture:

so far, all the brushes seem lovely especially the 168, 190, 194 and 275. however, the 187SE is quite a disappointment

it's not at all like the original 187. it's very soft but the quality simply doesn't seem to match up!

 

[astronaut]

OMG Why can't my lame school have something awesome like this???

 

[lethaldesign]

You definitely go to the best school in the world!!

I've heard about these in Singapore... wish they did something like this in the US. I'm certain the prices at these cosmetic bazars are better than CCO prices.

Thanks!

I'm not sure about CCO prices but I guess it all evens out cos we don't have any of those here? Plus the prices for some of the cosmetics at MAC retail outlets here are higher than those in the US. Boooo! These bazaars are really very one-off or infrequent events so it's quite a big deal when it does come!
