So...I'd been meaning to try parcel forwarding for quite a while now as cosmetics in the USA is significantly cheaper than here in Australia (I'm sure most of you know about that or at least heard about it before ;) It's annoying, especially for us Aussies!). After doing my research, I decided to go with Parceliton - thanks mostly to lovely Tara from Keeping Up With Me for her most useful review. ^_^
Here's the damage collection of goodies I got through their assisted purchasing process...
- Joues Contraste Powder Blush in 'Frivole'
- Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow in 'Raffinement'
- Poudre Signee de Chanel Illuminating Powder
- Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in 'Merveille'
- Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner in 'Or Rose'
Unfortunately, they are unable to ship dangerous (flammable) items such as nail polishes, which I would have dearly loved to get from the collection - namely, the shade called 'Emprise'. Alas, I will have to wait til the collection is released here in Australia and pay a more inflated price for them. Oh, the slings and arrows endured by a Chanel Beauty fanatic! LOL. ;-) Despite having resisted the urge so far, I'm still tempted to go back and add Rouge Allure Velvet Luminous Matte Lip Colour in L’Eclatante as well, especially after seeing it on Cafe Makeup! I do have a thing for pink lips! *sigh* Will see... ;-)
I'll post my review and swatches of these items in the coming days if you're interested (the eye shadow quad will be delayed as I try to get a replacement with all four eye shadows present and in tact!)
I also purchased the Chanel Liquid Eyeliner Intensity Definition in 'Platine' (#20) (Limited Edition) - from another collection.
Sperry Top-Sider Shoes in 'Platinum Gold'

| Unfortunately, the eye shadow quad I received was damaged. It's missing the top right eye shadow! :'( I'm still awaiting to hear from Parceliton about getting a replacement, esp. since insurance was included in my shipping. Hopefully, I'll hear from them soon! |

| This powder blush was originally an Asia-exclusive, but is now available on the Chanel website to purchase. |

| Top to bottom: Repurchase of my 'holy-grail' eye brow pencil from Kevyn Aucoin, Cle de Peau Beaute Concealer in 'Ocher' (I've heard rave reviews about despite its high price point - I'm in search of an excellent concealer), and Chantecailles Les Petales de Rose Illuminating Face Powder (saw rave review and amazing effect of it on Christine from Temptalia, I couldn't resist). |
Happy snaps of these fabulous new shoes I'm most excited about! ^_^ The ever-trendy Ingrid from Miss Glamorazzi You Tube Channel who shares a similar taste in clothes as I do wore this on one of her videos, and I absolutely fell in love with it. :D
Hope this was interesting. /:-\ I also hope you're having a great start to the new year so far. :)
Thanks for visiting me little blog! ^_^ xo
