Beauty Flea Market Haul

The Beauty Flea Markt was great. It was incredible successful, much more than we imagined it would be. I'm sure this wasn't the last one. *g* The next one will be in a big hall with more exhibitors.

My booth was quite coveted, which was nice, but also really exhausting. We started at 11am and until 4pm I didn't see anything else than a wall of people in front of me.

I really tried to avoid buying anything, but I couldn't resist getting a few treasures:


Look at that:


The famous New Vegas. I wanted this MSF for years!! The other items are gorgeous as well:




Marine Ultra Pigment:


Two beauties from YSL, for 1€ each. Incredible, right?




My first Nfu-Oh! It's a base for Holos.


Always wanted such a bottle..



I got the other products for free. :-)

Did you go there? Did you buy anything?

Love,

The Marionnaud Exchange Experience

Hey guys,

These pics were waiting to be posted for quite a while now, but I always forgot.. But tonight's the night!

After christmas I bought a Helena Rubinstein Mascara (the one with the leo print) and a Chanel Rouge Allure Laquer - and never used them. You know my "worship" thing, but the longer those two were lying around, the more I thought about exchanging them for something else. 34€ for a mascara is sooo much and after I bought the new Mac Peacocky lipglosses, which are soo much like the Rouge Allure Laquers, I decided to try it.

I went there and asked if it would be possible - cause I didn't have the receipt anymore, but the Marionnaud price stickers were still on the products. The woman I talked to said it's fine. I came back another day, she had the day off and the other saleswoman agreed quite reluctantly, but at least she did. So I started looking.

I needed a lot of time, which they obviously disliked, but in the end I chose these:


Alessandro nail polish Nr. 202:



An amazing Smashbox set, which was on sale for only unbelievable 15€. :-) I will a do an extra post about it. 


 I always wanted one of those YSL lipsticks, such beautiful packaging!!

AND the Harajuku perfumes recently got a new outfit and the old ones were on sale for only 5€ each, those were the ones they had left, I was soooo happy, I love the packaging!! So cute.. What a bargain! 


Word of advice:
If you ever go to Marionnaud, please bring cash, otherwise they freak out easily.. I had to pay 40 cents and I didn't have cash with me, I never have, I'm an unemployed student for fuck sake, and after rifling through my bag I was short 8 cents. What an embarassing situation..

So I said I just get some money from the cash machine across the street, so I wouldn't bother her with my searching any longer, but I obviously had reached her breaking point.. She told me that would block the cash desk too long (the store was empty) and she rather pay the 8 cents by herself and gave me a look that said: Leave and never come back!

Well, I know which Marionnaud store I will never enter again..

Love,
Guinevere
