Ebay Glee

[ 10 April 2007 ]

Items purchaed on Ebay at midnight:


1. Ganache for Lips in Chocolate Hazelnut flavour. “The only lip balm containing real Scharffen Berger chocolate!” I am very impressed by the ingredients list: sweet almond oil, apricot kernel oil, beeswax, shea butter, unsweetened Scharffen Berger chocolate, vitamin e, hazelnut extract, cocoa extract, rosemary extract. That is some natural sheeit.


2. Flavigny rose pastilles. They are anise seeds coated in flavoured sugar syrup — in this case, rose. Oh my god, delicious.


3. Smith’s Rosebud Salve. I have been looking for this all over the place but for some reason, I can’t find it in Melbourne. Thankfully I found it for next-to-nothing on Ebay. Some people think it is just vaseline in a nicer tin, but I hear it is good for cuticles, break-outs, dry patches of skin, etc. Here’s hoping!


4. Perfumeria Gal Colorette rouge in rose (aka “ballerina pink”). I bought this absolutely on a whim, thinking it would probably be average — I really just liked the tin. (How could you NOT like that tin?! Never underestimate the importance of good presentation!) However, my sleuth-like snooping has uncovered (thank you, makeupalley.com) that this product scores an average of 4.8 out of 5 (& those girls are hard to impress), with everyone raving about the colour, staying power & general quality of the rouge. Woohoo! I have needed some rouge for a long time. I have some in a cream form from M.A.C., but I don’t like applying it that way & the colour is too light & glossy for it to look right on me. I think I may have struck gold — I will let you know.

5. A string of pearls.

What have you bought recently?


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  6. I am yet to make the leap into online purchasing… alot of that is to do with the fact that we have no computer at home at the moment, and there is only so much time I can spend on my work computer doing stuff like that before I feel so so guilty… anyway to fix this problem, my first ever online purchase will take place on monday next week – a Macbook Pro… eeeek I am so excited i couldn’t even type ‘excited’ properly. It came out as excoited – which is pretty apt considering I’m from NZ… YAY

  9. i buy things nearly every day at work. eeep. i’ve gotta cut it DOWN massively!

    today i bought:

    3 cashmere sweaters
    4 silk scarves
    total: $10.15
    both are 100% cashmere & silk, respectively (& for you!!). The sweaters need a little de-linting & potential dry cleaning, but they were a steal at $1.05 apiece.

    yesterday:
    brown 50s housewife dress with tiny copper flowers
    60s tiered floral dress (in bluey-greeny-yellow)
    black 70s formal dress that is knee length & has sparkle on the flounce

  11. The Ganache lipgloss is going to change your life. I bought some the last time I was in California, and it’s without a doubt the most wonderful gloss I’ve ever used. Goes on suuuuper smooth, tastes amazing, smells amazing, makes people want to kiss you. Plus it makes your lips look great! Win/win.
