The Haul Thread

[Hachi]

I thought it would be fun to make a thread where we can all post our most recent purchases whether its make-up, clothes, accessories whatever!

I just orded these offline, hopefully they dont take long to ship. :wub:

Now that i post it out it seems like alot :bugeyed

[Roosje]

Nice idea for a thread! Never heard of the make-up brand you purchased, I like the colours you picked. Tell us how you like it once it arrives.

I just ordered some summer clothing and a pair of shoes from Topshop. I hope it all fits. It's always a bit of a gamble with British sizing somehow (I'm either an 8 or a 10). Especially with shoes, they often fit so big.

Bought a new facial moisturizer. It's has SPF 15 and is very light for summer. Smells nice too. Plus, it was only $8.99 bucks!

Garnier Moisture Rescue:

Nice stuff guys!

I just got this foundation, i LOVE it already it gives me really good coverage without feeling heavy.

O how I wanted to love that stuff, unfortunately it just doesn't work well on my dry skin and Maybelline's foundation shades are so funky, a lot like L'Oreal's. And I can't believe how dark the Dream Smooth Mousse shades are.

Yeah my skin is pretty oily so it controls the oil rather well. I know! The colors totally confused me, luckily i picked up the right color at first i thought it would be too light but since it was darker than i thought it matches my skin quite nicely.

I have tried that foundation. It wasn't too bad but I have found ones that are better suited for me since. Everyone's skin is different (and every brand is different) so it takes lots of experimenting.

The fair shades are the funkiest. One is way too pink and the other is practically jaundice yellow. No bueno.

I am in the process of acquiring the following items:

https://static.zoovy.com/img/redford/W414-H414-Bffffff/1/1413_1.jpg

♥♥♥♥♥ I don't really think this requires an explanation. The coat is absolutely fantastic--unique, elegant, plain black. I have some very handsome Ramosport coats already, however, these are more for the winter months than for, say, autumn or spring. Two of them are also pretty much exclusively for the rain/snow. I need a coat that is a bit lighter than that, but is still elegant enough to pass my standards of quality--and this coat is it. It's such a powerful statement piece--infamous enough to be immediately recognized, but rare enough to not be worn by anyone in my periphery. It is perfect.

http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_570xN.97272536.jpg

Beautiful, hand-made, period piece...what's there not to love? Again--this piece is wholly unique in both design and craft--you won't be able to pick it up at any store, it is completely one-of-a-kind, since it is handmade. Even if the designer were to produce more, each would always be slightly different from the other, granting it quality status. Furthermore, it is made of such beautiful lace--perfect for that Alexander Hamilton or Marquis de Sade look. ♥

http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/283/b/f/My_Ring_by_amaltea_olenska.jpg

I am getting someone to make me a custom-made Revolutionary Girl Utena ring. It will hopefully be the same jewelrer as the one who made this girl's ring in this picture. She knows him personally and has promised to send word to him that I am interested in purchasing it. Hopefully, it will go through without any issue whatsoever. It is a rare piece, again, and a quality one as well--the ring is silver, and the design is a complete challenge to find.

[The One.]

I brought these shoes from Spirit Store :

I should take a picture with them on me, that pic isn't the best one but I really love these!!

I also bought my new love - Eau de Iceberg 74 :heart:
http://www.parfumwangi.com/image-product/img1433-1296304432.jpg


Oh and I forgot, this papaya-lemon shower gel by Greenland! The scent is sooo delicious, like a candy!

I just purchased this amazing little thing:

http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_570xN.261209490.jpg

Isn't he <i>darling</i>? He's a coin purse! =)

[Arklove]

Recently bought this 'Brow Artiste' from Young Blood Mineral cosmetics...$40 for it, but it's fantastic! Fills the brows in precisely, but naturally...I absolutely love it ...The chocolate brown colour is like a sticky wax that adds just a tad bit of colour and keeps the brows in place...It was well worth it, considering I could never find the right type of product to fill my brows in...Mine is the blonde shade :D

I also bought this nifty little thing :D (not me in the video lol)

It really does work exactly how she said in the video...Holds really, really well...I was worried that they would get snagged in my hair when trying to take them out, but they don't....Very cool!

[LoveYouMoreMJ]

Just bought this the other day. Should be here next week. I love Serious Skin Care. You can't beat their deals :)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oufGtGQuEtw

[Severus Snape]

The ultimate evil of HSN! Their sinister packages are at my door every week. My mum loves them, though.

[suzynyc]

Haha HSN. I don't purchase from there too often but I do have to flip over to that channel (and QVC) to see what the latest deals are. My mom loves it because as a senior citizen it makes shopping easier for her. But I find myself amazed at how high the prices are now compared to when I first began watching back in the 80's.

Interesting. I've seen these in the drugstores but often wondered if they would work on my very thick hair. The girl in this video seems to have fine hair. I might give them a try.

[suzynyc]

I just bought this bronzer and blusher compact from E.L.F cosmetics (super cheap):

http://content.eyeslipsface.com/gallery_medium/83601_bronzeV2_mirr_prodpage.jpg
I use the bronzer to contour my face. It's not shimmery like other bronzers, it's matte so it works well for that purpose.

And I got this highlighter:

http://content.eyeslipsface.com/gallery_medium/83503_A_220px_100006.jpg
I bought the "golden" color by mistake though. It's just too "golden" for my skin tone so next time I will try one of the lighter shades. This brand is low priced enough that you can try different things and not go broke.

[LoveYouMoreMJ]

I think HSN has way better deals than QVC, and they have coupon codes a lot. I used to be a QVC addict but have cut way back since I've discovered how big of a bargain you get with Serious Skin Care on HSN. I never buy individual items, always kits because it's so much cheaper. Even if there's some stuff in the kit I don't care for it's still a great deal. Also a great way to try new products. My favorites from SSC are their A line and olive oil line :)

Well, I have thick hair, and it works pretty good...I had to try a few times until I got it..It's key to tuck all the hair in the bun before you spin it, and it really does feel quite secure :D

Yep I can see how they would prove convenient to senior citizens, but they still scare me. The overly fake voices, the cold, sinister products, I dunno... Seems like something out of Dracula's Castle, lol.

Their phone lines are also excellent for other purposes:

I get angry whenever I see QVC selling these grossly overpriced designer handbags. And they're ugly. Who spends $200+ just for a handbag? If I were a millionaire I would never spend that much just for a bag!

[LoveYouMoreMJ]

Amen! I think that's ridiculous to spend on a bag. BOGO purses from Payless for me lol. I just don't see why people want or need so many handbags to go with different outfits and crap. Just dumb IMO.

I wish to God I was rich, then I could show all those wasteful folks how it's done lol. Prioritize. For $200 I could get myself a nice useful piece of electronic equipment instead of a bag or blouse that don't do Jack squat!

I know! Every time I see QVC hawking their overpriced designer handbags I say I would rather use that money towards something useful and fun like electronics! I have never spent more than $50 on a bag and I've had bags that cost me $30 that have lasted years. I am not into labels and status symbols and impressing people I don't even like and who don't like me.

LOL I'm over it hehe.

[suzynyc]

Okay I finally found the Spin Pins in the correct size for my pouffy hair and so far they seem to work well.
I likey! :jump:

I'm so getting these spin pins. I was actually thinking about buying them at Bed Bath & Beyond the past weekend. I was just too skeptical. I kept thinking how these little things can hold a bun. :wild:

[suzynyc]

Yay! :wild: I didn't even know they came in different sizes lol

Yes, they have Spin Pin Mini's which are smaller than the regular sized ones. :)

[suzynyc]

Am I allowed to post items I have on my wish list? I haven't purchased this yet but I'm thinking about adding it to my lip gloss collection. :D

Avon Ever Lasting lip gloss in Endless Watermelon. I'm not sure how a gloss can last up to 8 hours as the ad in the Avon catalog claims but I'm willing to experiment. I guess the color is long wearing but the gloss wears off:

I've been neglecting my thread lol i just got this varsity jacket from forever 21 (on sale! :D)http://www.forever21.com/images/model_front/00017412-02.jpg I've been looking for a varsity for a while so I'm happy I found one

[suzynyc]

That's cute. Coincidentally I saw a red varsity jacket today at Marshall's. Guess with it being back to school season (FINALLY!) they will be in demand.

It's miracle. I have thick stubborn super long hair these little things manage to hold my hair in a bun the whole day. Yay. :punk:

LOVE the MUFE HD foundation! Great coverage and love how it stays put. Just need to find the right shade.

[Severus Snape]

Alyssa: those MAC foundations are the greatest! I have one, I love it, it works, it covers blemishes, etc. It is well worth the price.

Runway 21 by Rue 21. Some limited edition perfume. Can't find pics of it online, sorry.

[Alyssa]

I NEED to get my hands on some MUFE HD foundation! Only..theres nowhere over here that does it in store...so I'd have to order it online...and like finding the right shade would be tricky!! :(

It is tricky. I'm still trying to find the right shade. I lost the receipt so I couldn't return the one I have, so right now I'm mixing it with a cheaper foundation or faking it out. But I think next time I will try 117. All the other shades before it seem to be too pink for me. Alyssa, you most definitely might be a 110 or 115. Just stay away from 107. I saw it in the store and it is PINK, and I mean like cotton candy pink lol.

But it really is a great foundation. I just absolutely love the coverage and how it stays put. Definitely get some if you can get your hands on it :)

Aww thanks for the help/tips...
Do all the shades have pink undertones? How would you describe 110 or 115, would you say they are like a wee bit pale-ish? Yeah i have a tendency to mix my mac studio fix fulid with a cheaper foundation cus it oxidizes like crazyy. :P

Not all the shades have pink undertones. 117 has yellow undertones and 118 has beige undertones. A lot of people who are NC15 in MAC seem to find a good match in 110. I've yet to try that one. I know 115 is a bit too pink for me, but since I'm NC15, I MIGHT be able to get away with 110, so I may try that next, and if it doesn't work save the damn receipt and try 117, because sometimes shades with yellow undertones tend to work for me also.
