Makeup geek haul/swatches Pt 1

I think I must really be one of the last people to get onto the MakeupGeek train.. I ordered a large Z palette in Lavender and then 20 eyeshadows. I didn't fill my palette up because this was already crazy expensive and I thought id leave room for anything I missed, or to checkout their upcoming Duo Chromes and Mattes collection. Ive since filled it up with some of my Coastal Scents Hot Pots though. Stay tuned for my thoughts and opinions - was it worth it?

Edit: This post has been sitting in my drafts for months! I've well and truly formed an opinion since then and have since made 2 more orders for the duochromes and newer matte shades. 

Benefit haul and first impressions

------------------------------------------------------UPDATE:----------------------------------------------

07/06/15

I never received half my order, for some reason they sent it in two packages (?) and I only received the small one. It took about weeks of back and forth email and waiting for time to pass before they would give me a refund, of which their customer service said was processing, however I also never received that. Bad form, Benefit. I was unhappy with my products and their customer service was even worse.

14/06/15 

Since contacting to receive a refund, they made a mistake and accidentally refunded me too much.  To rectify their mistake, they charged me 3 more times without my authorization. Thanks, Benefit. You are truly incompetent. Ive never had an online shopping experience so awful.

Priceline 40% off sale 24/03/15 - Part 2

As promised, here is part 2 of my haul. I ordered it on Tuesday morning and it came on Thursday.  Ive had a chance to try most of the products so I can offer some first impressions as well. 

Priceline 40% off sale 23/03/15 - Part 1

Oh yes.. there will be parts. I made a cheeky online order this morning complete with furious refreshing and swearing and browser changing. Makeup sales are srs bsns. But I think I picked up everything I had on my list with a few cheeky extras. Here is part 1, my in-store haul. Part 2 will be up when my online order comes in. 

Priceline & BH Cosmetics Collective haul

Over the last month I've picked up a couple things, first from a couple priceline trips. My rewards points came in and I had $15 to spend, as well as a $5 off for my mums birthday since I use her card. Second was a BH order in their valentines sale, most things i got were 50-75% off. 

Priceline 40% off haul #3

I was disappointment that my Priceline didn't have any stock of the L'oreal lumi in N1 (much less any other fair colours) and FOA wasn't carried at all. I did pick up a few good things though, here are my first impressions. 

Priceline 40% off haul #2

So today and tomorrow priceline has 40% off all cosmetics! online and I store. I'm sure any Australians reading this will understand how much of a big deal these kinda sales are, and a chance to do some major hauling of things you've been eyeing. I made up an initial list of things to get but got flustered and was pretty quick in grabbing some things. Never the less, I still managed to burn a hole in my wallet.

       

Sleek haul # 2 & first impressions

A few weeks back Sleek had a 20% off sale and seeing as they are already cheap even with shipping I decided to purchase mainly so I could get a better matching foundation. 

                     

Beauty joint & Priceline haul + first impressions

                             

Beauty joint seems to have really lowered the shipping now, making it a better deal then cherry culture even though they don't have sales, so I went a little crazy and I needed to get some backup items. Priceline was having. 50% off all Maybelline so I bought some things I'd been eyeing (and a few sneaky extras).

Small Sleek haul & reveiw

This haul was done over 2 orders, which i bought myself. Find these products on the Sleek website here. International shipping to Australia for both orders took about 10 days.
