Hi everybody, hope you are well and enjoying your week! Over here in Perth/ Western Australia is officially in Winter season. Last night it was 2 degrees! We had to get all the heaters out to keep the house warm. Unfortunately the house we're living in is not insulated, therefore the house gets very warm when it's summer and very cold when it's winter and that sucks! Lol...
Tonight's gonna be another cold night so people who's living in WA, get ready with your heaters, hot water bottle and blankets to keep yourselves warm! However based on forecast, the weather for the next three days gonna be a nice and sunny- about 21 degree. :)
Anyways today I have this amazing palette to share and as you would have known by now, it's the limited Edition Aqualillies for Tarte Eye and Cheek Palette. I love it! It's a great multi palette for everyday use. The colors are pretty neutral and it comes with blush, bronzer and highlighter.... all in one, PERFECTO!
There is a website: www.tarazz.com.au (About: Tarazz.com.au is Australia’s gateway to a world of retail brands, putting global shopping at your fingertips.) The stuffs from stores they represent or selling are BeautyEncounter, FragranceNet, Rakuten and Sephora. Well I'm interested mainly on products from Sephora. As Sephora do not ship internationally, I thought this website will be the way to go (depending on the prices). As far as I can see, the prices usually mark up a few dollars more than purchasing directly from Sephora. Shipping cost to Perth ranges around $20 onwards. Of course the more items you get, the more shipping cost involves.
Of course there are many other options like eg. comgateway.com, Myus etc.. but the diffence is that you gotta sign up and given a US add and the orders will have to go there and then they will do the shipping for you. Probably it's cheaper, I don't know as I have not tried that but it's just the hassle for me to go through that process. ;)
Just couple of weeks ago, Tarazz.com.au actually had shipping promo which was only $10 standard shipping for any items you purchase. Therefore I took the opportunity of that to get a few items and this was one of them. The price for it was $47.50 (The selling price in US is $38). Come to think, it is a good bargain as if you search from Ebay, the prices are more expensive.
Ok, enough of my long winded part... here's the description and swatches:-
