StyleTread Epic SALE Haul!!!

Styletread is having a massive sale. And when I say massive, I mean MASSIVE, possibly the best sale they have ever had!!!

For anyone not from Australia style tread is a website that sells a huge variety of shoes, bags and accessories for men, women and children.

I absolutely love this website but I only really buy when they have a sale on because otherwise items are full price so you might as well buy them in store so you don't have to wait for postage.

What is really great about this website is that you can buy shoes in a few different sizes or styles, try them on at home and then send the ones you don't want back for a full refund.

On non sale items postage and return postage is free.

On sale items there is a $6.95 flat shipping rate, which is still amazingly good!!

So heres what I bought at the sale!!

1. BearPaw black Ugg boots - $25.90
I haven't owned Ugg boots since I was about 14 years old but since I am going to the UK and Europe in January and that involves a 36 hour flight, as well as my first experience of EPICALLY cold weather, I thought I would invest in a pair.
These are great, they seem really sturdy and well made, they are fluffy on the inside and incredibly warm!

2. Indy C cream square bangle - $4.90
I just thought this bangle was really cute and it is really different from anything I own. It's thick, and a really pretty cream, marble patterned Resin and every side has little gold and jewelled details. It's really pretty, modern and sophisticated and it was less that $5.00!!! AMAZING!

3. Indy C Leo hold all slouchy  handbag - $15.90
This is by far my fourite purchase in a long time. This bag is amazing. It's a lovely caramel brown colour with bronze/gold hardware and leopard print detailing. It's absolutely huge, meaning you can fit like your whole life in there and it has a long should or cross body strap as well as a smaller strap to carry it in your hand. This was also a purchase for my up coming Europe trip and I think it will be absolutely perfect. Another plus is that it was originally around $80.00 and I only paid $15.90!! Such a great bargain and an amazing bag!!

If you want to check out Styletread's amazing up to 80% off sale it is still on at the moment if you click here, but be quick because it has been on for a little while now so I don't now how much longer it will last. They have some seriously amazing deals!

What has been your favourite online sale recently?

Until next time :) xx

Nail Polish Haul Australia!!!!

So I've been online shopping again! (Surprise!! haha) This time I bought a few nail polishes from the website mbeautylounge.com. It's an America website that has a huge variety of nail polish brands, many of which are very difficult, if not impossible to find in Australia, at seriously discounted prices!

It's a great website, the only downsides are that shipping can be quite expensive and it also takes several weeks because nail polishes cannot be sent via airmail because they are flammable. But it is totally worth it for the massive savings and incredible range!

So here's what I bought:



China Glaze 866 Four Leaf Clover 
This is a gorgeous green colour, perfect for the holiday season!
Price: $4.85

China Glaze 955 Sunset Sail 
A lovely peachy nude colour, great for a more sophisticated summer look.
Price: $4.99

Essie 783 Play Date 
A lovely light purple.
Price: $7.10

Zoya ZP625 Zuza 
A gorgeous green with gold and silver sparkles through it, once again this will be an amazing colour for the holiday season!
Price: $6.60

Zoya ZP555 Keiko
A lovely deep purple which will be great for the cooler months.
Price: $6.40

Shipping cost: $18.98

I definitely recommend you head over to the website and check it out, they have a massive range of international nail polish brands really cheap, and new collections are added all the time!!

Where do you like to buy nail polish??

Until next time :) xxx

The savings can be huge up to about 80% off.

I have never had a problem with this service, I always receive all the items I ordered in perfect condition within a couple of weeks. The website is very easy to use. Shipping is $9.00 for the majority of sale events, although it would obviously be more for larger items.

Items are bubble wrapped and shipped in a specially marked box. Makeup items always have 'fragile' stickers on them.

They ship through Australia Post and signature is required on delivery. There are a limited number of memberships available and once the maximum is reached, membership will be by invite only.

September Fun and Flirty Lust Have It!!!

The September Lust Have It box is finally here!!

I have to say I was a little disappointed this month, as I have been the last couple of months. When I first subscribed to Lust Have It and Bellabox, I thought Lust Have It was going to be my favourite, but it has really been all down hill from there.
This month there were no full sized products, and I don't think there have been for a while.
There were also only five products this month and all very small sizes. It was very sparse.
I've decided I am going to give Lust Have It one more month and if I'm not happy with the October box, I will be unsubscribing.

But alas, here is a snapshot of the September Lust Have It box.

WHATS IN THE BOX?

4. Single use Mirenesse 'Protect Me' tinted age defence SPF 15 Daily Face and Neck Mineral Balm: 2-in-1 anti-ageing balm infused with high performance Mineral Sunscreens.
5. 30ml Say it with Scent Hand and Body Lotion in Frangipani: a lotion that is plant-based and contains no Petro chemicals. 200ml RRP$26.80

+Coupon for entry into draw to win a free Mirenesse Eyeliner

September Bellabox: Spring in your step!

My September Bellabox finally arrived today! There was a bit of an administrative issue but I will get into that at the end of this post.

+ $15 off at theiconic.com.au



THE ISSUES
I have been subscribes to Bellabox for four months now and have never had a problem. Usually I would receive the box within two days of it's release. However, this month I still hadn't receved it about a week after, when Bellabox published the contents of the box on their Facebook page.
I looked on my Bellabox account an the september box had not shown up in 'my orders', meaning that it had not been shipped, however the money had come out of my account.
I emailed customer service, twice, but they did eventually get back to me. They said there had been some sort of system error which had meant that while my payment had gone through successfully my order was never actually placed.
While all of this was rather disappointing, they did respond very well. They sent me an apology Email, sent my box out straight away and added a few extra products to apologise for the inconvenience.
Overall, I thought their response was excellent after an unfortunate mis hap.

THE EXTRAS
These are the extra products I received as an apology:

1. Single use samples of Pangea Organics - Japanese Matcha Tea with Acai & Goji Berry facial mask, Turkish rose and white tea eye cream, italian red mandarin with rose facial cream and Australian Wild plum & willow Facial cleanser.
2. 15ml Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle, oil free scrub
3. Full size yes to carrots, conditioning lip butter with SPF 15 in Pomegranate.

THE WEBSITE
www.bellabox.com.au
$15 a month subscription service.
One box per month filled with 5-6 high-end health and beauty products in a mixture of sample and full size.

Until next time :) xx

Maybelline Makeup Haul!!

Online Shopping Series, #1

I have been going makeup crazy online lately and I thought I would do a series of 'haul' posts to let you guys see some of the products I've been getting, my first impressions and also a review of the websites I buy from.
So here is the first post.

Makeup Brand(s):

Maybelline

Website:

www.brandsexclusive.com.au 

Shipping cost:

$9.90

Shipping time:

2 weeks, 6 days

Total spend (less shipping):

$39.93

Number of products purchased:

7

The products!

1. Colour Sensational lip colour #025 Pink Please

Swatches: Pink freeze, Plink Please, Fluffy Cloud, Twilight Pink

I absolutely adore these lipsticks! This one is lovely and creamy and a very natural, not quite nude subtle pink colour. The shade is perfect with a bright eye or stand-out blush.

2. Colour Sensational high shine lip colour #805 Pink Freeze

This is actually I re-purchase I first bought this shade from a similar sale a few months ago and have worn it almost everyday. It is a super bright pink that really stands out. I don't understand why they say it's 'high shine' because it's actually quite matte, but I like to put a pale pink or clear lip gloss over it and that looks really nice. It's the perfect shade for spring/summer to really make your lips POP!

Silver Stunner and Purple Pearl

3. Eye Studio Cream Duo #107 Silver stunner

I had never tried these eyeshadow duos before but the colours looked real pretty, so I thought I would give them a try. I used this shade today and it wasn't quite what I was expecting. In the pan it looks quite pink, but on the lids it comes out more of a grey-ish purple. It is very long lasting though and easy to apply.

4. Eye Studio Cream Duo #109 Purple pearl

I haven't used this one yet, but from swatching it, I don't know that the colour is going to be all that different from the shade above. Although it looks purple in the pan.

5. Unstoppable eyeliner in Fluffy Cloud

This is a lovely white eye liner. I have loves the unstoppable eyeliners for a couple of years now and this is no exception. It glides on easy and stays on all day. What I love about it is that unlike many white eyeliners, you actually get a really good colour pay off. Great to brighten up your eyes.

6. Unstoppable eyeliner in Twilight Pink

This is a gorgeous baby pink colour and is great just like above!

7. Xxl Curl mascara #532 Very Black, waterproof

Another re-purchase. My mum got me the non-waterproof version of this for Christmas and I am almost all out. I have been loving the way it lengthens, thickens and curls my lashes and lasts all day. I am very keen to try the waterproof version, especially considering how long the non waterproof version lasts!

The Website:

Brands Exclusive has long been a favourite of mine. It is a sale website which releases new products/brands a couple of times every day. Sales usually last about a week or until stocks run out. They have a great range of products; men's, women's and children's clothing, home wares, electronics, makeup, pyjamas, underwear, toys, books and pretty much everything under the sun. They have also recently started up another branch, Living Exclusive, which is all stuff for the home, including appliances etc.

Shipping is flat rate at $9.90 but extra charges apply for bulky items. You can't combine shipping of products bought in different sales, but you only pay the flat rate once per order, regardless of the number of items purchased (unless otherwise stated).

It is a membership based service but membership is free and there are no obligations to purchase.

They always pack the items very well with bubble wrap and pink tissue paper, in a specially marked postage box. Packages require signature on delivery.

I have never had any problems with this website, and the discounts can be huge, sometimes as much as 80% off!!! I would recommend this service to everyone.

*They only ship within Australia.
