A Little Spending in Melbourne
Hi lovelies! It's 6.30pm and still light outside. Wow! Love this long daylight at this time of year. Anyways, another short post today. Hubby and I went down to Melbourne for the weekend as he had a conference today (I'm back home now but he's still there). I love visiting Melbourne! I did just a little bit of shopping =)
Before I even hopped on the plane in Sydney, I visited Jurlique. What a mistake that was to my bank account. I saw this cute mini starter kit of 4 products but with the help of the sales assistant I ended up with these instead haha.
Sorry for the blurry photos - I should have taken them earlier!
Jurlique Herbal recovery Mist
I've heard so many good things about the Rosewater Balancing Mist but I didn't really like the rose scent. The assistant steered me towards the Herbal Recovery Mist which felt the same but had a nicer scent and has more ingredients in it. Hopefully it does a good job! This mist is from the Youth Defence range which is aimed for people under 35. The pamphlet says the facial mist is rich in botanical extracts and Vitamin E to help hydrate and restore skin vitality. Even though I get oily skin, I do have areas of dehydrated skin so hopefully this will help.
Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Night Cream
I was trying another eye cream but I could not bare the scent (currently in bin basket). I picked up the Advance Eye Cream which says to brighten and smooth the delicate area around the eyes.
These two purchases qualified me for a gift which includes the Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream and Rose Hand Cream. Even though I didn't like the rose scent in the mist, I don't mind it in the creams, plus they were 'free' so I can't complain haha. I honestly did not need another hand cream *sighs*
On Saturday, we went to Mecca Maxima in Melbourne Central. Drool alert! I had a wishlist but only walked about with a few things. I swatched all the Too Faced Melted Liquified Lipsticks and Nars Satin Lip Pencils but I couldn't make a decision, mostly because in the back of my mind was saying "you already have a shade like this". Hmmmm.
Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Palette
A girl can never have too many palettes though! Hahaha. I do use eyeshadows more than lip products so that justified the purchase haha. I cannot wait to try out all these beautiful colours!!! And it does have a hint of cocoa scent to it.
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
I think my Milani Eyeshadow Primer is losing it's magic power.... or something. I'm not sure what is happening but lately it hasn't been doing what I need it to do. This has been on my want list for the longest time. I hope it's worth it!
Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner in Stingray
I need an eyeliner that doesn't smudge on my waterline and tightline. Milani LiquifEye doesn't work for me unfortunately but it's still a nice eyeliner. This is a twist up crayon liner. I hope this works also!
I got back home late last night after a delayed flight and lengthen flight time and then catching a once an hour train to Wollongong. I was sooo tired at work today hahaha. Thanks TigerAir and Sydney Trains -.-'
Have you tried any of these products?? Do you love Melbourne?

Good job, you! I LOVE Melbourne for shopping! You'll have to do some swatches for the chocolate bar!
ReplyDeleteMelbourne has done it again! Yes! Will definitely need some swatches!
DeleteI visited Melbourne a few weeks ago as well, it was really fun! It's definitely a much busier city than Brisbane. I didn't do any beauty shopping, though I am very jealous of your haul! Even if you don't need another hand cream, everyone seems to love the Jurlique one! I've swatched the Chocolate bar palette and it's so gorgeous! Can't justify it though haha!

Heehee, I would rather the palette than a lipstick or blush as I would get more use out of it =) Walking around Melbourne makes me happy, it feels nicer than Sydney I reckon.
Deletewhat a great haul! ive never tried jurlique before so im keen to know your thoughts :D hope you enjoyed your time in melbourne!
