Mail of the week! 19 - 26 March!

I LOVE GETTING MAIL!

First package was from Nzsale... a site I seem to be addicted to lately.
They were having a sale on Bershka jewellery, everything was $4 NZD - so thought I'd grab a few things..


Next came an awesome little black clutch from TVNZ, filled with U by Kotex goodies. It included a Flexinights Ultrathin pad, 2 Regular wing Ultrathin pads, 2 Breathable liners, 2 Xtra-thin liners and a pack of Regular tampons.
Love getting stuff like this for free - so useful. And the little black clutch is totally reusable! Be sure to get your own here.


A 5 day starter pack for combination & oily skin from Nivea.
I got this off their facebook page, by submitting a skincare tip - make sure you get yours too!


As part of the Nzgirl product review panel, I got sent this Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner in Blackest Black. I am so looking forward to trying this out tomorrow!


I have been wanting a Z Palette for a long time, so when I saw that Gracie Lou Ltd had a sale on them, I had to give in and purchase a leopard print one. So excited! I put my Venomous Cosmetics samples in it, just to see how cute it looks..


Butter London nail polishes are soo beautiful, but are so damn expensive... so of course, when I saw that nzsale had them for $17 NZD... well.. I couldn't resist..
Left to right: British Racing Green, Marrow, Pillar Box Red and Jaffa


Ok, last package from nzsale! I promise! Atleast until the next one arrives.. hahaha.
Essie polishes at $7 NZD each? Can you blame me?!
Left to right: Protein Base Coat, Shifting Power, Vermillionaire, Sexy Divide, Smokin' Hot and Pretty Edgy


Can't wait to see what I get next week!
Thanks for viewing!

Recent Mail!

Hi all! Mail time!

It had been a long time since I had bought any new makeup brushes, so when I saw these ones on the Makeupandglow website, I thought I might give them a go!
Because I tend to get distracted easily.. and I had a $15 voucher to spend, I managed to talk myself into buying some more OCC Lip Tars too. Haha
They arrived in this cute little clear plastic box:


These brushes look so nice!


Right to left: 473-08 Special Shader/Ultra Mix eyeshadow brush, 473s-08 Ultra Eye Blender/ Special Mix eyeshadow brush and 461-06 Tapered Crease/Natural eyeshadow brush

I will definitely review these brushes as soon as I use them. The Special Shader brush really reminds me of the MAC #217 brush - if it works as well as that, then you can be sure I'll be purchasing more of them!

OCC Lip tars always excite me, I really wanted some more "wearable" shades for when I can't be bothered mixing.


Right to left: Hush, Memento and Grandma
And here's some swatches:


So pretty. My favourite so far is Memento, but I haven't worn Grandma yet so that could change.

Then unexpectedly, I got this little Nivea Creme sample in the mail.


And I died from the cuteness!! I just had to get a photo of it next to an OCC lip tar so you could get an idea of how small it is!
It's a proper little Nivea tin too, not a plastic container. I almost don't want to use it, haha.

Another unexpected surprise were these samples of the new Pantene Aqua Light range.


I actually used all of these, and bought full size versions of them. I really love the way they make my hair feel - light and clean! I would actually recommend this to anyone who has fine hair and hates how normal shampoo and conditioners weigh down their hair.

What fun stuff I've received!

Mail of the week! 9 - 15 November

I ordered the first two books from the "Symply Too Good To Be True" series from Trademe the other day, and they've arrived already! Keen to try out these recipes as soon as possible.


Seeds from Yates!
Wasn't expecting these to show up in my letterbox... not entirely sure how I got them. I know I'm a part of the Yates club so maybe I received them as part of that.
Anyway, we will definitely be planting these in our vege garden.. or atleast, my sister will be since my allergies have been playing up again. Haha!


Also wasn't expecting this little pack! Back in September, it was Cervical Cancer Screening Awareness month, and to celebrate this they were running a promotion where they gave away little gifts like this! I was lucky enough to get one of these, which includes:

• Carefree Actifresh Oxygen Liners
• Stayfree Ultra Thin Regular Pads
• Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub
• Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream

All in a cute little pink and white polka dot bag!

Can't wait to see what next week brings!

Mail of the week! 1 - 8 November

I know other bloggers post their Mail Of The Week, so I thought I might start doing this too! Because opening packages is ridiculously fun xD

I love MegsMakeup! I got this package when I redeemed 250 points, pretty exciting huh?
Closer look at the Napoleon products:

Thought you might like to see a couple of swatches.
Urban Decay Tinted Moisturiser - not rubbed in:

And this is how it looks when it is rubbed in:

Here’s the Napoleon Eyeliner, it’s such a pretty gold:

The Napoleon Lip Veil is nice:

But, didn’t show up that great in this photo:

And trying to take a photo of this Urban Decay eyeshadow swatch was just a joke – it refused to show up! Not very impressed with the eyeshadow unfortunately..

My ASOS swimsuit order arrived! Yay!! Was the first time I actually ordered from them and am really happy with the whole experience. It always makes me sad that it’s cheaper to buy swimsuits online from an overseas retailer than buy one in my own country though…

Tea Samples from Twinnings! My sister will probably end up with these as I don’t drink enough tea myself. :P

Ahhh. I love getting packages, it’s one of my favourite things!
