Boxing Day Sales 2013...part 2

Image
When I went shopping on 26/12 it was way too busy to browse properly...so I had to go again. My first stop was Chemist Warehouse. The had 50% off Maybelline, Rimmel and Revlon  I got Kate Moss for Rimmel matte lipstick in 107 - deep burgundy red, Maybelline Master Liner in Brown (I had this one before and it was pretty good, plus I find brown liners are more flattering for me than black ones). Nivea Facial Cleansing wipes, my staple...and... Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple  ...the most flattering sheer red even I can pull off (thanks to Laura ) A lot of beauty bloggers been writing about Lush sale. I wasn't a frequent Lush shopper but discovered few amazing goodies on Lush sale.  Rose Jam Shower Gel is a clear winner! It is one of the most gorgeously scented body products I've come accross...smells like Turkish Delight and Berries. Get it while you can, it is a LE product. I also got couple of bath bombs, orange soap and in-shower body butter (which I trie

Boxing Day 2013

This morning Brisbane CBD appeared to be deceivingly sleepy and empty. We found parking straight away and went for a relaxing stroll through empty streets. It was nice until we reached the mall. It was crazy busy and several shops even had lines going out the door. I couldn't handle endless lines and crowds so I just went to few shops and got things I had my eye on for sometime. My first stop was L'Occitane. I love their products and perfumes so I knew I would walk out with a thing or two. I ended up getting.... 1. Delice Des Fleurs EDT 75ml...$29, reduced from $58 Smells like sugared violets and roses. The sugar is quite dry and powdery as opposed to being sticky so you end up with gourmand fragrance lingering on your skin. I am not a huge fan of sweet scents because most of them smell too cheap or suffocating but this one is very very yum and pleasant. I am in love with very French frosted bottle too. 2. Eau Captivante Cologne 50 ml...$28, reduced from $40 Very refr

Festive season is a great time to buy yourself or someone a new perfume. So many retailers are offering high-end perfumes at heavily discounted prices. I still think Chemist Warehouse has one of the widest ranges at cheapest prices. Plus they will only charge $2 for shipping untill 08/12! BTW I am not sponsored by them, just wanted to spread the word because the offers are too good :) So here are my top picks 1. Versace Yellow Diamond ( link ) Sparkly fruity-citrus scent that is quite light so perfect for summer or work 2. Bvlgari Omnia Green Jade ( link ) Gorgeous light fresh green scent, probably my favourite out of the lot. It is subtle but has good lasting power. 3. Ralph by Ralph Lauren ( link ) Very playful and fruity scent, reminds me of my teenage years. Will make a nice present for someone in their late teens - early 20's 4. DKNY Red Delicious ( link ) This perfume smells like apples and red berries (it is similar to the original
