This haul is probably my first online 'high-end' purchase so I was really excited while waiting for it's arrival! It all started when I saw an email from StrawberryNET about their '10% off all makeup' sale. Normally I wouldn't be tempted by 10%, but this sale applies to already discounted products, so I went to browse the site a little. Before you know it, my finger was clicking away and I have an email notifying me of my order. I ordered on the 9th with my items shipped the very next day and they arrived to me in Perth,WA on the 16th. So I know this post is pretty late but better late than never, right? (:
Lots of styrofoam bits and bubble wrap to ensure nothing is broken! (: |
The first item is a lip color trio by Bobbi Brown. I first saw this set featured on Roseanne's blog when she hosted a giveaway on them. I obviously didn't win so when I came across it on Strawberrynet, I was actually quite excited to see it further discounted from AU$35.50. The three lip colours in this set are Soft Rose, Sandwash Pink and Nude.
Quick look at the packaging. |

I am really happy to finally get my hands on The Balm's Bahama Mama bronzer. This is available in Singapore at Sasa but I could never fork out the SG$29.90 for it. So when I saw it on sale for AU$21.50 (not including the additional discounts) I decided it's time to get it.
Edward Bess is a brand that I briefly heard about when watching RAEviewer's makeup collection video recently so when I saw their blush was also reduced to AU$24.50, I did a little research to see if their blush was worth trying. Sure enough, the reviews were great so I decided to pick one up. The shade that I got is in Moroccan Rose.
Comes with a nice velvet pouch. |
I have previously purchased from Strawberrynet before and I did have a great shopping experience with them. As a new customer, you get a free gift with your first purchase (back then I got a Stila lip liner) and as a returning customer, you get certain percent off your purchase depending on how many items you buy. I won't bore you with the nitty gritty of it but you get the idea (or check their website for the details and current promotional gift). So my total bill came up to AU$81.50 but with the 10% off makeup sale and my 1% loyalty discount plus 2% for buying 3 items, I only paid AU$70.90 in total. (And shipping is free by the way, yes international too!)
70 bucks is quite abit to spend but considering it's all high-end products and I technically have 5 items, I really think it was a pretty good buy. Hope you liked this haul and definitely let me know your thoughts if you have tried any of these products! (:
wow! i really like the lipsticks! (:
