have yet to fix the exterior look of the camera, but i found a 32mb SD card and now i can take photos! (haha im such a scavenger) but jst like 12 of them... and then i have to put them onto my laptop -_-

but yes photos again!! not of me but of one of my favourite things in life! MAKEUP!

so a couple of things i bought from an australian based website

Crush Cosmetics!

they sell brands like NYX, Sleek, Barry M, Lime Crime, Urban Decay Primer Potion, etc etc... just brands that you would have difficulty finding in australia...

i stumbled onto this website by accident and i had like a makeup-orgasm!

also it being an australian-based website, they had free delivery for orders over $60, and i got my stuff within 2 days, which was VERY speedy...


Sleek palette in Original. $18.95
This is a drugstore brand in europe and its wonderful... the case is VERY DIFFICULT TO OPEN though and i accidentally scraped the black shadow (first one on the top) because i had to use so much force opening the case... the colours are very shimmery and you get a wide range... and for a price of less than $20? VERY worth it...


NYX GOODIES!!!

NYX Megashine lipgloss in "Sweet Heart" and "Tea Rose". $5.95
"Sweet Heart is a very pretty nude pink colour and "Tea Rose" turned out ALOT darker than i thought it would be... more like a fuchsia colour. They smell alot like lollies, which is a slight turn-off for me, but at $6 a pop you cant really complain!

NYX Round Lipgloss in "Sorbet". $4.95
This smells WEIRD... fizzy is the only word i can think of... im really not a fan of the smell and therefore, i have not tried this one yet...

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils. $5.95
HOLY CHEAP! i got it in Slate (dark grey), Bronze (self-explanatory), Pots and pans (silver), and Horseradish (green)... havent used these yet but the Jumbo Pencils have been highly raved about... (actually alot of my makeup i havent got around to trying them -_-)

NYX Ultra Pearl Mania. $3.95
I got them in Fanta (orange) and Turquoise... these containers are really small! but i guess it would last me forever still... the close-up pictures online just looks very deceiving since its upclose and plus i have no concept of weight so i was jst abit surprised...

the whole NYX range was really cheap (as they should be!) and i think i'll definitely be getting more of them. They don't have the full range of NYX though, which is a short-coming, but the stuff they have are reasonably priced. I've seen the Megashine Lipgloss being sold for $10 each at a store in DFO, and its only $5.95 on the website...

and here comes the most orgasmic part!!


BARRY M!!!!!!!!!!!

omgomgomgushhhhh!! i was sooo excited when i saw that they have barry m dazzledusts!

Barry M Lip Paint in Coral. $10.95
this was way brighter than i thought it would be... and alot more pink than coral-ly as well... the good thing is that its smooth and there is NO scent! hurray!!

Barry M Dazzle Dusts. $11.95 (but these were $10.95 when i got them, they have now gone up by $1... probably due to the dollar)
In order from left to right, i got:
Yellow Gold, Winter Berry, Khaki, Pink Gold, Gold Iridescent.
and that random one on the top was a sample freebie they sent me... the weird thing about this was that its sealed with plastic BUT THERE IS NO COVER... when i first opened the package and saw it i wwas like "WTF ITS NOT SEALED?!?!" and chucked a rage because i thought it was one of the colours that i'd ordered... then i realised it was actually a freebie they'd given me... The only problem is that i cant open the plastic packaging because i don't have a cover and there's no way to store it later... its for free so i can't complain, but obviously i'd appreciate it more if it came with the cap... and i have no idea what colour it is... its a darker pink than the Pink Gold i'd ordered...

(NOTE: i cant guarantee that they give freebies to all orders because its not listed on their website... plus in case you havent figured, i ordered a PRETTY decent sum of money so maybe they only give freebies to large orders?)

and that's all that i ordered from them!

pffft not alot! o_0

now im looking at getting their "Home Brand" 88 Palettes because they have an uncanny resemblance to the Coastal Scents ones... but i think its pretty clear that Coastal Scents repackages the palette from a supplier, and the same palette can be found elsewhere, so i might take the plunge in the future because $34.95 for a palette with 88 colours? phew thats CHEAP!

another few things i bought today UNPLANNED...


i was on my way home today and when i got to parra, the next train to where i live arrives in like 20mins... so instead of waiting aimlessly, i decided to shop around in parra, and right next to the station was priceline, and they were having this sale with revlon and bourjois makeup... revlon was buy 1 get 1 free for lip products and i wanted to get them but they sold out on the colours i want :'(
bourjois was 50% off! so their stuff were all like $10... and so i got 2 of their blushes and a clear lipgloss... obviously alot of the nicer colour lip products were all sold out... but i've always wanted a clear one so that worked out... the only thing is i thought the orange blush looked more gold than orange in the store (its all in the lighting i know! dang!) but looking at it when i got home its jst so much more orange... and god i hate orange blushes... but its definately a steal and i might check out some other priceline stores before their sale finishes!

its not my fault!! blame my train for taking so long and making me spend money again!!
