Okay so I bought these in Auckland Airport so even though I didn't purchase them in Melbourne City, I bought them during this trip so I'm counting them as part of my Melbourne Haul. XD So I've been on the search to find a new moisturizer to try and since I've been wanting to try Benefit Cosmetics, I thought I'd give this a go. I love the smell of the Total Moisture facial cream OMG. And I've only used Girl Meets Pearl like twice but I'm absolutely in love with it. Not yet tried the rest though...
I bought those Garnier products when I was in Harbour Town. I've wanted to try the Sakura range for a while so I figured, while I'm buying something from there, I might as well buy them all. That Ralph Lauren Blue for women was a gift from my aunty. She bought it for me knowing that it is my favourite scent. I don't use this fragrance often, but it will always hold a special spot in my heart. It is the perform that got me into perfumes. And it's very difficult to come by in New Zealand. I think there's like one store that stocks it. I bought those cute cactus and raining earrings and leaf ring from Melbourne Central and I wish I bought more! The OPI is Samoan Sand and Rosy Future which I bought from Melbourne airport as I was leaving the country. Always love nail polish even though I hardly use them. I mostly end up going to salons to get my nails done since I do such a terrible job myself.
Melbourne has a Sephora!!! But unfortunately they didn't have in stock the things I wanted. Namely Marc Jacobs products!!! But I was absolutely determined to start my Marc Jacobs Beauty collection so I bought that lipstick from Sephora. I love the colour but I don't think it suits me very well =(
ll the other makeup products I bought were from Mecca Maxima. Omg, I must have spent a few hours in there just looking around and trying stuff. A very lovely staff member was very helpful and came to entertain me lol. Too Faced and Hourglass are two products that I've been dying to try out. I think we have Hourlass Auckland but I'm super lazy so I never want to go visit the shop that sells it. Of course, I pounced on this opportunity to buy.
I'm a very beginner in makeup and I am hopeless at doing mine. But I fucking love the packaging design of Too Faced products. I wouldn't have a clue what palettes they have and now I really wish the Peanut Butter and Jelly palette was available because I would have got that one too! I need to have more natural/nude make up for work so I knew this would be a good choice. In hindsight, Natural Matte palette would probably have been a better choice for work. But... a girl needs a little glitter in her life!
I hmm'd and ahh'd about this one because I am hopeless at this sort of thing. But girl who was helping me out gave me a quick tutorial and since I was already in love with this anyway, I ended up getting it. No regrets at all!
Of course I bought the retractable Kabuki brush lol. My only regret is not purchasing the rest of their brushes. =_=
And my first Hourglass product is the Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure which is a soft plum tone. I was going to ask for recommendations but the second I swatched this, I knew it was to be. ♥
I've been needing to get a cosmetics bag for a while now. I've got one in mind but I've not seen it in stock for so long! I ended up just caving and buying this black set from Victoria's Secret. It comes in a pack of three, a big bag which is great for your bath and shower essentials, a medium sized bag which is great for daily makeup products and a small pouch which I would probably use as a coin pouch when I go overseas. =P
I also wanted a vanity tray and since Bombshell is my favourite scent, I didn't stop to think twice! I picked up these sets from the shop in Melbourne Airport. I probably won't be keeping all of them and will probably give some away as gifts.
Now... for the less glamorous items!
This was a present from my uncle LOL actually, I think he just wanted to get rid of them because he can't take them to Singapore.
Bought some basics from Uniqlo in Melbourne...
Had a super crazy craving for matcha... but the only thing I don't regret buying is that box of matcha cookies. That green tea instant latte is actually quite disgusting lol. It tastes like instant milk powder and white sugar.
And that concludes my trip to Melbourne!
