HAUL: NYX, Cherry Culture & Tweezerman Tweezers

Hey-O all!

I just got my NYX haul from Cherry Culture in the mail today!

Here it is:

Here are the names and shades of the items I got.

This is the NYX Eyeshadow Base in 'Skin Tone', US$6.00 (excl. S&H):

NYX Round Lipsticks in 'Circe', US$1.75 (excl. S&H):

NYX Round Lipsticks in 'Frappucino', US$1.75 (excl. S&H):

Also, I got Tweezerman's stainless steel petite tweeze (TM) set in Gold,

the Special Edition Pack, from eBay in the mail. :)

It was AU$43.00 (including shipping & handling)

They are smaller than your average sized tweezer, which I did not know until got them! :(

Oh well, that's what you pay when you don't read descriptions properly...

I will do a review on this in a few days - stay tuned!

I love shopping online because you can get a great deal sometimes!

The thing that kills me is the waiting!

Luckily it did not take too long for these parcels to arrive!

Shopping online would still never replace shopping instore for me. I love being able to actually LOOK & FEEL the items then decide whether or not i want to purchase it, whereas online I am not always sure of what I'm getting!

What have you purchased online recently?

Do you prefer online or instore shopping?

Share your thoughts!

I have just placed my order. I ordered:

- NYX Eyeshadow Base in 'Skin Tone', US$6.00

- NYX Round Lipsticks in 'Circe' and 'Frappucino', US$1.75 each! Bargain!

- NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss in 'Smokey Look', US$3.75... great price!

- NYX (Girls) Round Lipgloss in 'Cafe Latte', 'Whipped', and 'Sorbet', US$2.00 each!

Cheap as chips!

My order totalled to US$25.25 after the discount code and shipping.

For all that? Amazing!

I must say that I was tempted to purchase so much more, but I will see how I like these products first before I buy more!

Hopefully I will love them all... but it is a hit or miss because from what I've heard, the swatches on the website are not accurate.

It should take 7 - 14 days for it to arrive.

I can't wait! I have not tried any NYX products before so I am really excited!

I will make reviews on them when I receive them.

Have you purchased anything from Cherry Culture before? What was it? Did you like the products? How long did it take to arrive?
