Naked Hauling!

I was super excited to arrive home from work yesterday because guess what….

It came!

I ordered this little baby along with a few other goodies from Beauty Bay a few weeks ago and it arrived in just over two weeks. I’m super glad everything arrived safely and was well packaged, but am so disappointed that despite a huge order I got no samples at all. Luckily Beauty Bay prices are great so I don’t feel too bad and i’m so glad they stock Urban Decay because I also scored something else I have been lusting after for awhile…

I have heard so many awesome things about this primer that I just couldn’t wait any longer. Now I just need for my current Lorac primer to run out and I can test it out!

Moving on from Urban Decay I also decided to treat myself to one of my favourite smelling (though I can’t figure out what it smells like) and working hair treatments…

I also decided to pick up a product from Phyto…since I loved the sample conditioner I got from Sephora when I was in Vegas because it was super nourishing.

Also…Some more goodies from brands I love…cheaper from UK than here in Australia….MADNESS! Macadamia oil makes my hair nice and glossy and Catwalk by Tigi Curls Rock Amplifier is the best product I have found for my rebellious curls…

and finally, the last thing I was super keen to try, because everybody raves about it…Seche Vite!

Have you tried and tested any of these out? Did I choose wisely?

Haul & Review Goodies!

Hello Gorgeous!

I am so sorry I have been absent of late, but life in the real world took over and work became uber busy. Needless to say I have been surviving on very little sleep, very little healthy food and very little exercise. But I am back and boy do I have some exciting posts coming up to make up for my time non communicato as well as quite possibly a little bit of a blog beauty sale if people are keen. I have so many products and some of them are no longer worn or enjoyed so why not give someone else the opportunity to adore them?

In the meantime…I spent to day Xmas shopping and looking for gifts for my brothers birthday. Shopping can be stressful so I treated myself to some goodies too. So, check out the loot i’ll be blogging about soon…Exciting times ahead!

Original Source Shea Butter and Honey Shower Gel scored for $1.99 from Chemist Warehouse

Natural Instict Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Wash  Chemist Warehouse bargain…I think I paid $12.95 for the Shampoo and Condition and got the Body Wash as a freebie.

Sukin Facial Moisturiser & Rosehip Oil  Chemist Warehouse again…I think I paid $10 roughly for the Rosehip with the facial moisturiser as a gift with purchase.

Inglot Eye Shadows I can’t believe I just discovered these….can’t wait to play with them, so heavily pigmented. I got all four at 40% so scored the lot for just under $60!

Lariese Moroccan Argan Oil $40 from the Mind, Body, Spirit festival. Lovely and 100% organic!

Savoire Fair “C´est le ton qui fait la musique” Limited Edition Kit Kindly sent to me for review

U and I Natural Age Reversal Cream Kindly sent to me for review

Gascoigne & King Vanilla Candle Kindly sent to me for review

Benefit That Girl and Sugarbomb Part of that giant haul I picked up a few weeks ago. These two have become part of my daily face ritual…Love them!

Napoleon Perdis Artemis Lipstick Stopped by a chemist on the way to a friends and this was a total impulse buy. I am random like that! P.S….love this fun shade!

Haul: Benefit Cosmetics

This week has been crazy busy and I promise you a decent post when things have settled a little IRL and I can breathe, but for now its a shorty and a sweety! I arrived home today after a loooong day at the office to find my much anticipated Benefit Cosmetics order had arrived from the USA!

Why the USA? Well, if you have been living under a rock you may not realise they offer shipping to Australia among a million (okay, slight exaggeration) other places in the world. Spend just over $100 bucks (easy to do I assure you) and shipping is FREE! I was mighty peeved when a week after I placed my order they had a family and friends 20% off deal (if you want to be informed sign up to their newsletter) but when I compared the savings to what the products retail for here in Melbourne I was still way in front. The only downside to USA shopping is the excruciating wait for new goodies, but alas…patience is a virtue after all!

I would have loved to show you how gorgeously wrapped my package was but in my eagerness (is that even a word?) I ripped and tore like a wild animal. So until my next swatch and review post you get the promo pics scattered thoughout this post…I got all of these gorg goodies!

Help feed my obsession…What overseas sites do you love that ship to Australia without having to go through a parcel forwarding service?

Now, for the exciting part…I am giving one lucky one of you the chance to win some Hello Kitty goodies… Click here to enter!
