David Jones theBalm GWP Offer

David Jones have some really good GWP offers going at the moment and one that I did take advantage of was theBALM.

If you spend $27.95 or more across theBalm range you will receive a ShadyLady Vol 2 or 3 eyeshadow palette valued at $49.95 for FREE!!

I decided to take advantage of this offer as I have been wanting to pick up the Meet Matt(e) Eye Shadow Palette for a while now and this offer was just too tempting to wait any longer.




I chose the Shady Lady Giraffe Palette Vol: 3 as the shades were lighter and more suited to my complexion.




The other palette available was the Shady Lady Zebra Palette Vol: 2.




This offer was also available online but when I went to check if it was still available their website was down so you may have to visit your closest DJ's.   I will be doing a fuller review of these two palettes with swatches when I have played around with them a bit more.

Here are close ups of my two palettes, love the shade names especially on the Shady Lady Palette.  Great selection of colours, I am really excited to finally own the matte palette but pleasantly surprised by how gorgeous the colours are in Shady Lady, all very wearable shades and a good mix of light and dark.

Meet Matte(e)   ~   Shady Lady Vol:3

What do you think, pretty good deal huh? Two palettes for the price of one. They are available at David Jones while stocks last if you want to pop in and pick one up for yourself.

My Napoleon Perdis Haul

I thought I would share with you the Napoleon Perdis Haul I recently purchased from David Jones Online.  I don't think you get the largest selection online to choose from compared to walking into a David Jones store but there was enough for me to add this fantastic GWP to my cart.

Purchase $79 or more and receive a 7 piece make up gift valued at $200, the offer is available until the 23rd June online or instore.

~ Prismatic Eye Shadow Quad
~ Lip Lacquer
~ China Doll Eyeliner
~ Mosaic Powder - Gleamer
~ Travel Size Gold Long Black Mascara
~ Makeup Shakeup Lesson Card
~ Blue Ostrich Print Tote

Now they say you get a choice of 3 bags with three different colour combinations.  I thought I had chosen the brown eyeshadow collection shown in the photo above but received the blue eyeshadow collection instead.

I purchased a Mosaic Powder Bronzer and Mosaic Powder Blush to qualify for the GWP.

Bronzer  ~  Blusher  ~  Gleamer

I used all three of these Mosaics yesterday and I have to say I LOVE THEM!!  Highly pigmented, Matte Bronzer and Blush,  the Gleamer has a slight sheen, no sparkle, you only need a little, they are all buildable and the colour stays all day.  I didn't need to refresh my makeup at any time during the day, no fading.  I will say for my pale skin the bronzer and blush went on a little dark but it was easy to buff out and achieve the tone I was looking for.  Well pleased with these.

This is the Prismatic Eye Quad #3 I received.

I was not too happy I received the blue/grey/charcoal at first because I don't wear these shades normally but I did wear them yesterday and was quite happy with the result.  It's always good to try something new outside your safety zone, you might surprise yourself!.  I was quite impressed with the staying power of this shadow, the colour stayed fresh all day, there was no fading or creasing.

The Lip Lacquer ~ Shameless Nude ~ is a very pretty pink rose gold slightly holographic shade in the tube but gave me no colour benefit once on the lips.  It is very thick and sticky and I found it extremely hard to apply.  When I tried to apply it as a gloss over my lipstick it took all the lipstick off.  Best used on its own for a glossy juicy look.  Because it is thick and sticky it stays on well until you have something to eat or drink and then the whole lot just disappears.  Can't say I am too impressed with this lip lacquer.

The Gold Long Black Mascara ~ travel size,  I didn't like at all.  It was thick and just made all my eyelashes stick together, I don't know if I got a bad sample but based on that I would not go out and purchase the full size item.  If anyone has a positive review of this mascara I would love to hear from you.

The following product I haven't tried yet as I don't wear eyeliner but it is a very pretty Teal.

China Doll Eye Liner ~ Teal

I loved the big roomy bag all my goodies came in, I will certainly get some use out of it, usually the bags that come with these GWP's are awful but this one is really nice.

There was also a card for a makeup lesson but I live too far away from the city to be able to ever benefit from it.

I was very happy with the quality of most the cosmetics I received and I definitely think this offer was good value.

What do you think?   Have you purchased this offer or tried NP for yourself?   Please let me know by leaving a comment below.

David Jones Deluxe Sampler Tote

Today I was so excited to receive my order from David Jones.  Now most of you will probably say DJ's so?  Well I live 150kms away from my nearest DJ store and growing up DJs was THE place to go for all those LUXE items I so coveted in my younger years before the advent of internet shopping.



For $19.95 you get this gorgeous PVC tote filled with beauty essentials this is available to purchase online and if you purchase an extra $30 worth of items shipping is free.  Find out more about this tote here.

This is what I received in my tote.




Everything was attached to the Tote in this reusable PVC cosmetics bag.

Lanolips Golden Ointment pot 12.5g

I think that this is amazing value for $19.95 and is still available if you would like to order one.   If you order over $50 worth of items you receive free shipping.

I was really happy with everything I received.  The foundation alone is RRP $22.95 and the whole sampler tote is valued over $93.

I just wanted to quickly get this up for any of you that are interested in purchasing this tote before they sell out and I will blog more in detail as I try things.
