Jewellery project fail, goodies and products finished today

I had a jewellery project fail!  There are so many cute cute things in at Lovisa and Colette at the moment, I had to indulge - though I did make sure that I did not already have pieces similar to this already:

Here is my haul - a cute bug ring (have been looking for a cute bug ring for ages!) from Colette.

Colette - turquoise gold drop earrings, coral drop earrings.

Lovista - heart diamonte clips.  This haul was about $30

I have actually moved interstate to a place that doesnt have a Colette - though I am pretty confident that they will get one soon, considering how quick she is expanding her shops.  Colette does have online shopping, but its a limited range.

I finally got my Clarins Flash Balm!!  I had needed on for about a year, and I had tried various products in an effort to replace this with a budget version.  There is no budget version, Flash Balm cannot be replaced :-).  David Jones was having a Clarins bonus sale, so I finally bit the bullet and picked up the Flash Balm and the Lotus Oil which is another HG for me and got my bonus pack full of so many goodies, including a mini flash balm :-). 

Products Finished Today Project - Revlon Age Defying Makeup Foundation.  This was a foundation that I used quite often, but that was when I lived in a hotter climate so had a slightly darker complexion.  After moving to a winter climate, this was way to dark for me so has stayed on the shelf for awhile.  To use the rest of this up, I mixed a light illuminator into it which worked perfectly.  I did like this foundation, but I would probably not return to it as there are so many new foundations on the market to try.

Confessions and Benefit Browbar

It is the day before my 'wear all my jewellery before buying more project'! And I have forgotten to post the last two purchases I made at Colette Acessories (I need to work on my photography skills!):

Bracelets - $9.95, these are alot more vibrant in real life, the lighting in our apartment is pitiful and probably the dodgy notebook backdrop is not helping.  I bought these last week but forgot to own up to the purchases :-).  I did have these on my wishlist for a week before I caved and bought though.  Lovisa has 10% off if you sign up for their newsletter in store, so I did and got 10% off my purchases.  The girl who was in line before me said no thanks when asked to sign up, why would you throw $5 away for the sake of forking over your name and email address.  I guess other people are more private than me, I will give my email address to anybody for money lol.


This headband was $4.95, I am totally addicted to headbands and did not need another one.  But it is sooo pretty :-) It is a goldy amber sparky headband.





Benefit's browbar has changed my life.  Well not exactly changed it, but has made it less stressful.  Last year the Myers where I live got a Mac and a Benefit ( Oh what a glorious day that was ! :-)).  And thus ended my years and years of chancing it at different beauty salons and hoping that they didnt butcher my eyebrows, I would estimate that at least once a year I would say to the beautician - please leave very thick and just tidy up, and then walk out with thin butchered eyebrows :-(.  Since visiting the Benefit browbar for the last year, my eyebrows have been Perfect with a capital P!  Primped blogged about the browbar a few years ago: http://www.primped.com.au/blogs/guest-blog/bag-instant-brow-benefits-at-the-new-benefit-brow-bar.

More no no's and deferrals to the wishlist!

All the new Spring stock has activated my want demon.  I splurged one last time today and deferred other things to next pay.  I think this an important time to reflect on my good choice not to have a credit card anymore! On the savings front, Hubbie bought a new pair of jeans at Glue at Westfield who currently have a promotion if you spend over $160 they will give you a $20 gift card if you claim it at the Concierge - Yay for me who claimed it and got the $20 giftcard ;-).

http://www.lovisa.com.au/Lovisa have a promotion at the moment, but two items get the third free, I spent $27 and got:

On my wish list is a headband, bracelet set and tote bag from colette ($50) they currently have 10% if you sign up to their newsletter in store -hopefully they still have that promo in two weeks!  Their website has been improved, but still leaves alot to be desired compared towhat they offer instore: http://www.colette.com.au/.
