Anyways I had won one of her contests for a $100 voucher for this Lolita store but there was a weird mix up and so in the end she said she'd be offering me $100 of her own money towards something to make up for the mix up. Well I said I had always wanted to try some Inglot and so she got me that and I said to keep the rest a mystery :)
I got a huge plethora of things from her, some Prestige which we do have in the US but I loooved the Beauty Style products that she included. Beauty Style is a brand that we don't have in the US so it was rather nice to try some of them.

I will say though that Australians are totally gypped when it comes to Inglot prices. I looked at the pamphlet included which listed prices for the Freedom System which is a palette that you can get and fill with eyeshadows, brow stuff etc. Why is it that Australians pay 85 Australian dollars for a 10 pan palette that I would pay $5o for? The Australian and US dollars are just about equal in terms of currency exchange so why the huge price jump? I'm rather appalled by this, it's so ridiculous!
Do you have to pay premium prices for cosmetics that are super cheap elsewhere?
Do I spot some essence stuff there? You can't get that in the US, either, right? What about Kiko and Make Up Factory?
ReplyDelete@Anna We do have some Essence in the US although they're really late about having some of the awesome nail polish collections! I've yet to see anything about Kiko or Make Up Factory!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! That was so nice of her! Looks like she sent you a bunch of great stuff! Can't wait for swatches!
ReplyDeleteThat's really kind of her. Good haul! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats for winning :) I love Inglot!
ReplyDelete@The Peach Haha I wouldn't even know where to start because there are so many things I want to get my hands on!
ReplyDelete@Student's Guide It really was nice of her to do so :)
@Luckiebeauty I have an Inglot store closeby but I've yet to explore it! I may have to go there to compare the eyeshadows I have so I can get shade names!
I'm so glad it all arrived safely! Oh man I could have sworn Prestige was an Aus-only brand >_< I really do hope you love everything and sorry again for the confusion!
ReplyDeleteOn the subject of prices here in Aus we get really totally ripped off by pretty much every make up brand as well as just general goods :( I found out the other day that an Estee Lauder lipstick I have which is $42 here is only $18 in the US ;_; Even things like computers, my laptop cost 40% less in the US than here. There is no logical reason for it and companies complain when we buy things online! Enough of my soap box though haha, congrats again on winning and thank you so much for this lovely post!!
