What’s in my mailbox – Camera Ready Cosmetics + collective makeup haul

My order from camera ready cosmetics finally arrived. I kind of had the feeling it already did but I wasn’t bothered to ask our neighbor upstairs if it came or not. Luckily when I came home from college today I went to check the mail & our neighbor was throwing out the trash so he gave me the package he also said that it came a couple of days ago and that the mailman just left it near their door, we live downstairs btw.

Another thing I would like to blog about is the makeup I purchased prior to my no buying makeup ban. I didn’t want to make a blog post about it yet since I wanted to do the post together with my camera ready haul.

so on to the haul ….

I wanted to try out the Graftobian cream foundation & since it has no SPF it’ll be perfect for flash photography & I can use the darker shades to contour ( I got the warm pallet 2 & I should of gotten it in number 1 lol ) I also got the mixing pallet, spatula , beauty blender , Embroylisse creme, 2 velour puffs and the Ben Nye banana powder !

These were purchased a week before my no buying makeup ban :P
they were on sale at priceline and big w

This was purchased 3 weeks ago , before my no buying makeup ban. I only received it on Monday.

& these little darlings were purchased before my no buying makeup ban , not that they’re makeup or anything but they are related to makeup right ? lol.

 

Anyway I hope you all enjoyed this little haul since I won’t be doing anymore makeup hauls till I get my Louis Vuitton bags !  *crosses fingers I get more shifts at work.

xx Arianne

Clinique & French Macaroons !

My sister had an interview at the city on Friday so I immediately took it as an opportunity to ask her to purchase me the following…

Actually my original order was for her to buy me philosophy skin care and what not, but unfortunately mecca was sold out so she rang me and luckily I had a back up. I asked her to buy me the new moisture surge but they were also sold out so I chose the next best thing lol … the “older version”. I needed a face cream I can use at night since the winter season is not cooperating with my skin. I also asked her to but my the liquid facial soap in mild since I left my other one in the Philippines when I was on holidays ! I used to use the one in number 1 but it was too emollient for me and I found that it didn’t really help control my oiliness.

Clinique was having a gift with purchase promo if you spent $60 or more which I did so I got the following…

I might give away the bigger bag sometime in the future and fill it up with makeup goodies since I already have loads of makeup bags :) so watch out for that !

I shall end this post with something that may tickle your taste-buds ;) …

This was my first time buying shoes online , so I was kind of worried they were gonna be too big or too small on me. I usually get a 6 or 7 in flats and with these ones I decided to get a size 7 & I’m happy to say they fit me perfectly :D hehehe.

Now I can cross them out of my wishlist !

My Makeup Collection + Themakeupboxshop Review

Why hello there my fellow readers & friends !

Today I am going to do a post dedicated to my “makeup stash”. Oh and also a quick review on the large glamour makeup box I purchased from themakeupboxshop.com a couple of weeks ago.

So here goes…

The box was $142aud , you can choose from the original box or the glamour box. The original box is a wee bit cheaper than the glamour box. The thing that attracted me to this particular design is the diamond cut drawer handles. If like me you have been keeping up with the Kardashians you may have seen these babies in the Kardashians sisters bathroom used to store their makeups. Although their ones cost around $300+usd which is much more expensive than my one lol.

Anyway shipping from themakeupboxshop only took 2 days to arrive. The company is Australia based and they only ship within Australia.  Shipping is free unless you live in the northern territory, south & western Australia & Tasmania, a small fee of $7 will be added to your total.

I plan on purchasing a couple more since not all my makeup fit like I thought they would.

So without further adieu here is my filled up glamour box & makeup collection…

I like to keep my mac and urban decay brushes on the top drawer.
My sigma brushes are kept in the brush roll

mac , chanel lipsticks and glosses

eyeliners, eyeprimers, eyelash glue, mascara

random drugstore drawer …

mac snowglobe, paintpots, benefit mascara, maybelline color tattoos , mac blush.
I like to keep my paintpots in this drawer because they don’t fit in the first top drawers. I also keep things I haven’t opened here.

On the biggest & Last drawer I keep all my face products.

I usually keep the things I use on a daily basis in this little container so I can easily access them :) .

I have no where to put these brushes so I keep them in a box hahah ..

these are the pallets that didn’t fit in my makeup box …. so they need to live here for the time being.

 

& there you have it ladies and gentlemen my makeup collection. I can’t wait till my no buying makeup ban is over so I can add more to my collection :D .

What’s in you makeup collection ? i tag everyone who reads this :)

Dior Addict & Tory Burch <3

:mrgreen: Why hello there my lovely wordpress buddies ! :D

So today after school, I went with my cousin + sister to Parramatta ! I went to myer and picked up a new perfume since my Chanel allure is down to the last vial & I have been using my mothers Burberry summer 8-) lol

I got Dior Addict Eau Fraiche 100ml<3 oh yeah ($140aud), I spent over $110 so they gave me a free goodie bag which came with a mini sample of J’adore perfume, Dior show mascara & 2 eye creams.

Dior Addict Eau Fraiche
@myer.com.au $140aud

I’m so happy with m purchases & I know I’m on a ban but hey perfume is not makeup :P so it’s ok ! hehehe

Anyway when I got home a little box was waiting for me on top of the dinning table. My Tory Burch Robinson double snap wallet has arrived :) . It was suppose to come yesterday since shipping was 3 day express from the U.S but DHL stuffed up so yeah I had to wait another day. But that doesn’t matter because it is finally with me :) .

Tory Burch Robinson double snap wallet
@ shopbop.com $185usd

I’ve been wanting a new wallet since my guess one is kind of old and ragged so yep. I decided to get a nice small wallet for when I get my Eva Clutch, it’ll fit perfectly :) .

Oh I know I’ve been splurging but it’s OK because I have work tomorrow (5hour shift hello ! ) =D so yeah basically tomorrows shift is paying for the perfume I got. And the Tory Burch wallet was paid for using some of my tax return money so all is well hahaha

P.S I’m working at the airport tomorrow :) lol ughh it’s my parents 25th anniversary but yeah I think were gonna make it into lunch. If not then I’ll be missing out :cry:

I shall leave it till here & bid you all a merry farewell ! till me next blog entry :)

This will be hard for me , but i know and hope in my heart I can do this ! I will resist the urge lol 8)

Yesterday I went out with my lovely cousin & sister, We were originally gonna go on a shopping spree but it ended up as a food trip !

Anyway I have quite a few pictures so long story short we went to the city , went sight seeing on a monorail and ate our hearts out :P .

The only thing I bought was a mac mineralized blush & dollywink eyeliner / mascara…. I wasn’t suppose to buy makeup but I couldn’t resist :) .

mac store @ myer
aka cosmetics

Dollywink mascara/eyeliner = $45aud
Mac mineralized blush in supernova = $43

 I only bought one because this was the color I really wanted and it was sold out online. Good thing they still had some left at the mac store @ myers !

Check out my sisters blog for a somewhat more detailed blog entry :) – click click , also leave a comment coz she returns them ;) hehee

Enjoy the pictures :)
