Latest Haul Video - Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, Coach, Guess, Gucci, Ralph Lauren, Moschino And MORE!

Knock Knock. Whos There? The Postman!

I am infatuated the Miss Marc by Marc Jacobs range. It's so kooky-anime. If that makes sense.

I love my new hair tie.

So much in fact, that as soon as I unpacked it I went online and bought the matching bracelet.

Knock Knock. Whos There? The Postman!

I hate being deceived.

When I opened my parcel today, I was expecting the palette that's displayed in the above photo. After all, that is the 'Dior Beige Massai palette'.

When I placed a bid, I knew the palette was a tad different but it still looked quite large in their photos, not overly huge but at least a standard Dior palette size. Today when it arrived it didn't take me long to realize that it's the smallest frikin palette on the face of the Earth!! I had to open the package again to see if that was just a free sample that I received with my full sized palette. It wasn't.

It's probably double the size of a standard single Dior shadow but we all know that still not anywhere as big as the normal palettes. I'll be lucky if I can even get an ear bud into the eyeshadows on the sides, let alone a standard makeup brush...

Ok maybe it's not THAT small but seriously, I was thinking the palette was around 10 - 12cm. It's more like 6cm.

I really don't mind because I love the colours but I wish they had of advertised it was a travel size palette.

Anyway, enough of a rant and onto the important stuff.

This is the latest edition to my makeup.

Christian Dior palette in 705 Beige Massai.

Have you ever been deceived on Ebay?

If you were me would you have asked for a refund or just been happy that you liked the eyeshadow shades?

Did I Mention That I'm In Love.. With My POSTMAN?!

Yes, you guessed it. Parcels arrived today. My camera is currently missing in action so I've borrowed these photos off Google images just to show you what I got.

I'll swatch/review them as soon as I find my camera but for now, these images will do.

My FIRST EVER Lush product: Fair Trade Foot Lotion.

My FIRST EVER Givenchy makeup palette: Eyelet Edition.

My FIRST EVER Just Cavalli bracelet: Enamel Dragons Head.

My fifth Marc Jacobs t-shirt: Sailor Girl.

And I couldn't find photos of:
My BILLIONTH Chanel Lipstick (lol just playin): Infrarouge 17 Gypsy.
Comme des Garcons dress.

V Is For Vamp.

About two months ago, I received a Chanel lipstick in the mail.

I wrote in a post that it was too dark and that I intended on selling it.

After seeing these photos again. Knowing this is the actual range that my lipstick came from, I've changed my mind.

Here is my take on these three Chanel looks.

Knock Knock. Whos There? The Postman!

I've decided to do all of my postman hauls separately. It will make it a lot easier because now I can swatch all the makeup and it wont get confusing.

This is the Yves Saint Laurent Lip Twins lipgloss in Plum Harmony #7.

I bought this on Ebay. It's brand new but doesn't come with the YSL application brush as photographed below.

See the mirror? How cool?!

Below: Satin

Below: Brilliant Shine

Below: With Flash

Below: Natural Lighting

As you can see, they are both gorgeous colours and would look good on their own, over another lipstick, under a clear gloss, or mixed together. The options are endless!! These usually go fairly cheap on American Ebay - who knows why! I think they are fantastic. Yes I have an obsession with YSL products but this is a great buy. You get two colours for the price of one, the packaging is gorgeous and there is a mirror on it that reads Yves Saint Laurent.

This baby is a keeper!

Knock Knock. Whos There? The Postman!

Geez that was quick!

On Monday I paid for this Yves Saint Laurent YSL Opium blush/eyes/highlighting palette and it has already arrived.

I bought it on Ebay for $9.

It is brand new in it's box and velvet pouch that has an eyeshadow applicator and blush applicator in an inside pocket of the pouch. Both applicators are stamped with the YSL logo.

I haven't had a chance to use it because yet because I like to test new cosmetics when I have nothing to do.

I test them when I'm at home because there is nothing worse than being out & about and realizing your allergic to your makeup when you start suffering from tears/leaking eyes or a skin rash.

I will swatch this palette tomorrow and do a photo post asap.

Knock Knock. Whos There?

The postman arrived today with my Dior 'Trigger Plum' nail polish and Chanel 'Intimitable' sample sized mascara.

I bought these together off Ebay extremely cheap.

Chanel mascara has always worked well on me. It never clumps, is always the blackest of black and my lashes are always false-lash long.


The nail polish was $1.95 and the mascara was $4 odd plus around $5 postage.

Knock Knock. Who's There? THE POSTMAN.

My fringe came in the mail today. Yay! - Or not. It's brown, MEDIUM brown, not even dark brown =| I ordered black, because MY HAIR IS BLACK. Damn it. 

A big part of me hoped it might be a free bonus fringe (like a buy one get one free deal) so I peeked into the parcel bag to see if there was a black one in there too, but there wasn't. No black one, just my brown fringe and a little pamphlet with some 'great deals' on some items they have for sale. 

You can buy a checkered shirt for your dog for $3.99, a tulle skirt for $14, pepper spray for $4.95, a USB for $1.49 and a stun gun for $16. 

My mum is walking around the loungeroom reading over the pamphlet and after 10 minutes of her intensely studying the piece of paper then she looks at me..

Mum - 'I'm gonna buy the pepper spray and the stun gun. I wanna check them out.' 

Me - 'No your not.' 

Mum - 'At least let me get the stun gun. Look! You'd think it was a phone! It looks like a phone..'

Me - 'Yeah and the first time you go to use your 'phone', you will accidently use the stun gun on yourself.. and I aint picking you up off the floor if you get knocked out'. 

Mum - 'Haha, I just hope I don't pee myself if that happens. That'd be embarrassing. Look, I'm getting it....***long pause***.... I'm going to have to test it out on someone. The only way to see if it works is to test it out on someone, otherwise how are you meant to know if it works? Are you meant to wait until someone attacks you? No, so I'm gonna pick someone. I might pick that guy at the mall, you know, the drunk one on the corner that always tries to pick me up? Or that rude cow that always harasses people on the bus. Yeah, I'll stun her as she is getting off and *bird whistle* *hands clap together* on the ground.' 

Hahahahaha. You know that show Wife Swap? Do you there think is one in the making called Mum Swap? =|

Just kidding ;)

Some Of My Parcels

As promised, some of my parcels unveiled.. Most of these items are for sale on my site because they don't fit or are too similar to other items I own, DAMN IT.

There are a lot more pictures I have to post of makeup, jewelery and clothing but they wont upload to my computer because my camera is giving me issues. Will update with the extras tomorrow.

So what do you think? Any good? Do you own anything similar?

Click to enlarge the photos.

It's Raining Parcels.

Just a quick post to let you know this is another lot of parcels we picked up from the post office on Friday.


Will take photos of all the items asap and make this post a bit longer!

Postman Pat With His Big Weird Hat

There was a time where every day at 1.30 I would hear a knock on the door and no matter if I was in the shower, doing the dishes, rearranging my room, my super sensitive hearing would zone in on that tap, tap, tap and I'd run to the door like my house was on fire.

It was my postman & his ever changing, never less than strange hat. Always one for shopping online to find a bargain, it went from deliveries once a fortnight to once a day almost. Then we moved house. I had to leave poor Pat & his hat behind (not sure what his name was but the postie is always Pat in my mind - which is good because its a unisex name & rhymes with hat).
Anyway, we moved house and I got my mail redirected. The postbox is about a 10 minute drive away which was no bother when we first moved but when your car thinks it's Christine and has a mind of her own, then it becomes a BIG problem. What was only a drive to the next suburb is now 2 buses and a train trip just to get there.







I am constantly having to ask my friends to give me a lift there, which is hard because they work regular hours at regular jobs and the post office is only open regular hours. I usually just end up going late Tuesday night - which is fine, but when all you get out of the box is 10 small parcels that were somehow shoved in there from Hong Kong & the UK, you look at those red and white striped 'parcel waiting inside' slips and your heart hangs low while your mind starts to wonder if your Gucci heels have arrived, or maybe the cable knit Ralph Lauren jumpers are in there, being held prisoner by the post office and only meters away. It's times like those that I wish I was a master thief so I could pick the lock of the post office & go inside to save my parcels. It's not stealing if they are yours, right? ;)

I think the hardest part about that scenario is the fact that the post office is directly opposite a police station. I could just catch the 2 buses and a train to the post office in normal business hours but the fact that I know its a 10 minute drive but takes 40 minutes with public transport (if it's running on time) is where I draw the line. I have a business to launch, I don't have the time to waste almost 2 hours on public transport. Who does?!

Like I was saying yesterday, I asked Bertie Beetle to take me as he finished work at 2.30 and lives a few blocks away. It took him an hour to get here because he needed to have a shower and sit down to relax for a while but we made it there before the post office closed and you all know how many parcels were waiting. I'm veryyyyy pleased to say that yes my Gucci heels were there and yes the Ralph Lauren cable knit jumpers were there (and it's about time, I'm freezing!)

It's 6pm, it's dark, I'm sitting on the couch in my loungeroom with one eye on V for Vendetta and the other eye on cropping images for our website, wearing my new Guess sunglasses & Ralph Lauren jumper and sipping a can of coke. You can say I'm a multi tasker.

I have taken some photos of a few of the items I got from the post office. Hope you like em. Dior necklace, Chanel perfume cases, Pierre Cardin scarf, Burberry 'blue label' bag and a vintage Escada belt.

Let me end this entry by saying that I find Stephen Fry extremely sexy in an older gent/barrister/school teacher kind of way. He is incredibly charismatic.





Peace.
