What is your latest haulage?

[Nzsallyb]

woot hello kitty came for me!

i "hauled" tippy BPB and pink fish = $84 yikes!!!!!!!!
but i did B2M for two lippies (cute-ster x2), but damn, so expensive!
no way am i getting hello kitty couture!

i know prices are way different in our corner of the world, so what is everyone planning to get?

 

[MrsMay]

^^ you were able to B2M for HK????

Lucky you!!! Ive already been told there will be no B2M for HK

 

[myystiqueen]

lucky you for being able to B2M for HK lippies.... urghh

 

[panda0410]

This sux..... why cant we B2M for LE packaging

As it is we pay more more for the packaging than other countries - everyone else had normal retail prices on Dame Edna except us, and now HK too....

 

[sambibabe]

^^ Yeah, that's why I refused to buy HK lippies etc here, that has special packaging. Obviously, MAC NZ is not as greedy as MAC OZ!

Spent all day shopping grrr.. Went to Moorabbin DFO to find pots and pans. Couldn't believe how expensive things were there though. Hubby bought Hilfiger sweater for $25 in Vancouver outlet but at DFO, it was $109, reduced from $199! WTF? Then we bought a cool rice cooker that 'talks'. I know it has nothing to do with makeups, but I am sure you guys would love to hear about my talking rice cooker

Had two minute visit to Inglot and grabbed the transluscent powder in lighter shade. Love this stuff!!

 

[myystiqueen]

^^ rice cooker that 'talks'??? cool!!!

which inglot store did you go to?? oooo... i really really wanna try it soon.... urgh..

so basically i just won myy fourth headbands from ebay.... and i'm sooo excited!! it's $113 in total including shipping... the headbands are handmade and blair waldorf inspired... aahhh... can't wait for them to come...

i know it may sound superficial for a headband... but.. i've been looking for them anywhere...

the one thing that i regret is that... apparently, the seller has more than one headbands available for each model... but i had no idea about it so i accepted the 'second chance offer' (cause i lost) for $44.... and now,, the same headband is up for sale with the beginning price of $9.99... ARGH!!

now that's something i have to learn in the future..

 

[sambibabe]

Yeah! It is a built-in pressure cooker inside the rice cooker, which lets you know when the cooking is done, by 'talking'. I hope I don't get freaked out (make sure I don't cook anything in the middle of night lol)!

Went to Chadstone...

myystiqueen, but the auction might go over $44 and you will be laughing!

 

[simplyenchantin]

Nat did you go to Myer MAC? I might have seen you haha. I B2M'd for On Hold and Creme in your coffee today

 

[sambibabe]

^^Yeah I did!! Did you see me?

Yay for all ya cremesheen lippies! I love those too!

you are right nat...!! that's what i thought... oh well...

 

[simplyenchantin]

Nat: Were you wearing awesome jeans with something on the back pockets?

Panda: I haven't tried them yet myself but the MUA tried them on me on Saturday and CIYC was a great nude for me, on hold was almost coral (but not DE style coz they looked horrid on me) and apparently made my eyes really green! I can't wait to wear them (coz I totally don't have enough nudes hahah). I really like the formula though, so it's worth it. It might become my everyday "I can't figure out what other lipstick matches my eyes.. okay I'll wear this!".

 

[sambibabe]

^^Hing? Stars? And I had gold angel wing prints back of my black tshirt as well?
I was walking around MAC crazy, trying to see if they had GD display out, before my family found me and dragged me away from there.

 

[simplyenchantin]

Yeah it must have been you I wasn't sure and didn't want to say hi to a stranger haha. (I've done that before, SO embarassing).

 

[sambibabe]

Were you wearing a grey jumper? Grrr.. wish it wasn't me! I looked awful running around everywhere

 

[VirtuousWoman52]

Wow Ladies!! I'm trying not to get jealous but my most recent "HAUL" (I guess you can call it that lol) was the Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Deep Dark. I absolutely love it. I can't afford to buy everything all at once so I get various MAC items in "segments". My first purchase was the #33 False Eyelashes which I LOVE. I also bought Tempting e/s and Espresso e/s. That was it!

My recent haul has been L'Oreal H.I.P. e/s in Showy, CG LashBlast and the MSF Natural in Deep Dark. I'm loving my new makeup routine! Before I just put on lip gloss and one eyeshadow and I'm so disappointed with myself that I didn't do some research lol.

My next "planned" haul will be Coastal Scents brushes and some Revlon liquid foundation to place under the MSF. Have any ladies purchased the Studio Sculpt Foundation and who's a skintone of NW40??? I personally feel like I need to go somewhere else for a MUA. I felt so rushed and believe I may be a Dark in the MSF Natural.. :-\ We'll see the next time I go!

I just wanted to put my two cents in! Be blessed and stay beautiful gurls!

you ladies should send your B2M to me and ill gladly do it for you!

i must admit i was very lucky with hello kitty. the collection wasnt due to be released until today, but i explained my no credit card situation, so they let me pay for it a few days before, but they wouldnt let me have it until today(they have sent it to me, as i live 5 hours away from a MAC store on my hospital placement). i was very lucky as MAC NZ was very very strict with the no pre sale rules (which were bent for me teehee).
i little package should arrive tomorrow!!!

i cannot wait!

 

[sambibabe]

Wow, NZ Sally, you got HK released there already??

Went to MAC and checked out GD today - they were absolutely gorgeous!! All of GD blushes were pigmented, except Moon River.. However it was still more pigmented than Blonde MSF (no pore magnifying either). Today I only grabbed,
Hot Planet (MUA applied this on me and wore it all day)
Moon River
I am planning to get at least 3 more!

I also grabbed Lavender Whip l/s as a backup. Can't believe it is sold out everywhere and I grabbed the last one from my store today.

 

[simplyenchantin]

I checked out GD today too! Moon River was peachy (kinda like dainty for me) on the solid side, and Love Rock on the solid side was close enough to Dolly Mix or Posey so I passed on them both (though Love Rock looked really pretty on).. and ended up getting Grand Duo since I have nothing like it. Those were the only 3 I was interested in from the beginning so I'm glad!!

 

[sambibabe]

I agree Dainty and Moon River looking the same, but I swatched them and they are different. Moon River solid side is much more shimmery and it is on the cooler pink side. It is a bit similar to Blonde MSF middle strip, but with more shimmer and teeny bit pinkier. I can't remember Love Rock now, but I've ordered it as well as Grand Duo and Intenso - just too pretty to pass lol.
