This is a super overdue post but I thought I'd still share my haul from crushcosmetics.com.au that I purchased some time in August. The stuff on there isn't the cheapest but they were had 20% off sale storewide plus free shipping if you spend AU$65 or more, so I took the opportunity to pick some things on my wishlist. The thing that drew me to shop here was because they carried Lime Crime but I skipped out on them (which I totally regret!) and got other stuff instead. Posting took only 6 days to get to me here in WA so that was not too bad.
I was pretty selective about what brands I bought because even with the 20% off, Wet N Wild was still pretty overpriced but that's just me. I really cannot justify paying more than 3 times US retail price for the same product so I'll probably wait till I visit the states or if family and friends are returning from there.
Having said that, there were definitely some deals I got with the sale so let's get right into it. Here's my parcel when it arrived.

The Sleek Blush By 3 released a limited edition shade as part of their Candy Collection, Sweet Cheeks, which includes one cream blush and two powder blushes instead of the regular three powders. In all honesty, I picked this up because the colours (+ packaging) looked so gorgeous I just couldn't resist. Best thing was, I only paid AU$15.96 (~SG$19) for this which is a total steal considering it cost me £9.99 (~SG$20) when I bought my first Blush By 3 kit at Superdrug when I visited London earlier this year, so technically it's slightly cheaper than regular retail price.

I also got some e.l.f brushes seeing they are under AU$5 after the discount. I was interested in the Contour brush because I have a similar one from Essence which works really well for applying eyeshadow in the crease but sadly is damaged. The Powder brush was also another back-up because the one I currently own is shedding like crazy!

Sadly though, the Powder brush I received is also a faulty one. I first noticed a few strays sticking out of the top and when I brushed it against the back of my hand, you can see the stray hairs falling out. Not sure if all their Powder brushes have this problem or I just keep getting faulty ones. ):

I was very into rose gold makeup for a while and have been eyeing this blush in Rose D'Oro by Milani. Everyone talks about Luminoso but I tend to go for matte blushes, with this rose gold exception, because my complexion isn't the best. Really glad I got it because it looks amazing on my cheeks! This came down to AU$11.96 after the discount.

Last but definitely not the least, is the item that I was most excited about.. and it is the NYX Butt "Naked" Eyes palette! I had wanted to get this for the longest time (maybe just under 2 years? This palette came out end of 2011). And can I just say how glad I am now that I finally got it! With the sale, this palette came down to AU$28.76 which is good enough for me considering Smoochiezz is selling this for SG$42!

So that's it for my Crush Cosmetics haul. Customer service was fantastic and all my items came in good condition. Definitely worth checking out especially when they have a storewide sale going on but like I mentioned, I was particularly selective about purchasing from their website because some brands are very much overpriced in my opinion. Free shipping does help alot since other cheaper websites such as Cherry Culture charge shipping fees by weight, so do keep that in mind. Thanks for dropping by and have a great rest of the week! (:
