I
met up with an MUA member whom I have been frequently corresponding over the last month, just
yak about makeup and skincare.
Ning was telling me how
expensive mascaras were to her, as a student, and their lifespan is so
short as well. Which I totally agreed because mine
dries up extremely fast too, regardless how expensive or cheap they are. Therefore, I
never say
pass to sample mascaras from Lancome or Estee Lauder or Clinique, or any counters. Since I am always
thick face to ask for samples, I have a few Hynose and DiorShow
mascara samples, and decided to ask her to
'adopt' them, together with my old issues of Australian Bazaar
magazines. I have already told her not to return me anything, but she is such a sweet gal to make it a
swap!
So now I'm a proud owner of a
new Coffret D'or lip gloss and a AHA BHA cleanser! It is so difficult to get these Asian
brands in Australia (Ning is from Singapore).
Since I'm already in the
CBD, I went to meet up with a dear friend who just came back from
Japan. She ain't into skincare or makeup, but she knows I am
soo into it.
Tobbie gave me a lil parcel with Juju Aquamoist Essense (HG!) and Kose Hyaluronic Acid 22 sheet masks, direct from Japan!
I just don't have the
heart to just take from friends, so I return my
appreciation with a lunch and $30 (Yen1808) for her. It is truly a great bargain
haul for me, considering that JUJU is selling $50 and Kose Masks is selling $35 here! Why everthing is
overprice in Australia? Even our Ikea Sweedish meatballs cost much more, comparing to what
cushycottage mentioned in her
blog! I guess I'm just so
far away from everywhere >.<
the coffret d'or gloss looks so pretty!
yea i agree with amy. the coffret dor color looks amazing and I hate when mascara dried up.. thank goodness I use it everyday. My fav drugstore mascara brand has to be maybelline
