C'ing Double

I'm so keen to buy some of these flats, even though they're fake..

I'm In Love With The Postman.

50 And Under Vs 1,000 And Over.

Look closely..

Can you tell the difference between a Birkin bag and a tote bag that is painted as a Birkin bag?

I want one of both!!

A Great Day Is Getting A Louis Vuitton Bag For $5.

Today was fantastic right from the get go. I woke up a bit late (10.30am), my makeup actually worked instead of resisting, my hair was still straight from yesterday, my skin was glowing and all my clothes were easily found.

It all went right for once. What a nice change to my usual aggravating morning of never being able to find one of my shoes, my eyeliner being bumpy, not being able to choose which lingerie set is appropriate to go under my skirt or dress, my phone being uncharged, my nail polish being chipped or my hair being greasy.

I love days like today. My brother had to change over three pair of jeans from his birthday. He got two new pairs that fit perfectly and a store voucher for the third pair.

After exchanging his jeans, he drove my mum and I to The Salvation Army (the op shop/thrift store) and as soon as I walked in the door I found a Louis Vuitton monogrammed bag. The tag said $9.99 and I knew it was fake when I opened it up because the lining was different than the original. It does bother me that it's fake. The price tag was blue and blue tag items are half price this week so for $5, who wouldn't buy it, even if it is fake? I probably wont wear it out because I am not a fan of designer fakes but I will use it in my room for storage. I can keep my lingerie in it or even my hats and beanies. I like interesting storage compartments. I seen that Christina Aguilera uses vintage suitcases in her wardrobe to hold her bags so why not use a bag to hold items too?

Fake Mac, Yes Or No?

I know this is a taboo subject for all the die-hard makeup fans out there, but who here owns fake Mac products? What do you think of them?

I was reading a blog the other day by a girl who was dissing the fake Mac products like you wouldn't believe and she hasn't even tried them!!! Apparently they are horrible and don't last blah blah blah, she thinks she knows it all because she is a makeup artist etc. Yes whatever, here is a lollipop, now close your mouth and stop moving your fingers because your typing is giving me a headache.

It annoys me that she is automatically assuming they are dodgy because they are fake when I know for a fact that these eyeshadows are awesome. They are pigmented to the max, have a long life on your eyes and the eyeshadow pots even come with an applicator brush and mirror underneath. I bought a few last year on Ebay because I seen them selling for around $2 each and thought why not?!

I bought a really bright purple, a fuchsia and a dark grey so I haven't used them a lot but when I did wear them, they were fantastic. I didn't know any different and neither did my friends. I may have just had a good experience or maybe I have lower makeup standards than some other people when it comes to my eyeshadow (highly doubt it), either way, please feel free to tell me I don't know what the hell I am talking about if you disagree. But until someone tells me they had a bad/horrible/terrible experience with these eyeshadows, I say these ROCK and that is all there is to it.

The reason I bring this up so randomly is because I was just looking on one of my favourite net sites and seen a Mac palette of 180 colours for sale.

You read right, ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY COLOURS! It doesn't even bother me that the palette is fake. The price it's selling for is a bargain, so good news for you girls.. As soon as I buy it, three quarters of my makeup is going up for sale because this palette is all I will need.

Don't worry, I have done my homework, watched and read review after review about this palette and the only bad comment was that some of the palettes were not packaged very well during delivery so some of the colours were broken when the palette arrived. **Note to self, remember to message seller about proper safety packaging - twice.**

Some of the reviews even did swatch tests against genuine Mac colours and the FAKE palette was actually a stronger, more pigmented colour than the genuine Mac!!

I don't see this palette as any different than buying Costal Scents or any other brand - except that its awesome factor is through the roof, but some people have a problem with the whole 'OoO it's fake, you will look bad or like a tighta$$ if you buy it.' To all those people, I say 'Let your bank account suffer while you spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars buying 180 Mac eyeshadows to match the (less than $100) I'm spending on getting them all at once and conveniently packaged for transport and easy use.

Seriously girls, put your social image and the everyday skeptical judgement in your pocket for 5 minutes and have a look at this palette then tell me what you think.

Would you spend around $80 AUD on it?

UPDATE: I already have someone saying because it's fake they wouldn't buy it. Let me put it this way.

In Australia, Mac is god damn expensive. To buy each single palette colour is over $20 each.
$20 x 180 is $3,600 AUD. Plus all the emply palettes to hold all the colours. Your looking at around $3,800 - $4,000 just for 180 eyeshadows.

I'd prefer to buy a car, or four return air fares to Italy, or two Louis Vuitton bags, or hell, renovate my entire house overseas for that $4,000 dollars.

I dunno what the price of Mac is like in America but damn.. I sure as hell don't want to pay $4,000 when I can pay $80 for something that I know works just as well.

Besides, would any of you be having a fit if I showed you this palette and didn't say it was fake Mac?

Fakes, Ciggies & Mario - That's Life.

I hate fake desiger items but these are off the chain!



I don't smoke, it just matched my nails.



My obsession with Super Mario Bros runs deep.



I was stoked when I seen my internet nickname in a copy of Thats Life.
