A few days ago, I managed to snag what I thought would be the last Fleur de Feu palette on this side of the earth.
That was until I stepped into Myer at Chadstone today. A quick chat and I went away knowing that 2 more women in this city would walk away with the same palette.
So, just 2 more. Run, dash, fly to Myer today to grab one for yourself. To ensure you're not disappointed, you can call up ahead and have it set aside for you before you make a trip over.
The number for the Guerlain counter: 9567 6266
Happy shopping!
NB: Don't bother with David Jones in Chaddy's. It's not even on the display anymore.

Pretty Beauty Stash
A quick pitstop at Doncaster Westfield a few days ago and my heart skipped a beat.
Gift with purchase! My favourite kind of shopping!
Take a guess!
What could it be?!
I think I should stop tantalizing Tine. For an entire day of yesterday and today, we'd been exchanging texts and emails and she's probably going to make me pay dearly for teasing her when we do meet up for coffee one day.
Well, not long ago, Shryh blogged on Glossifieds not long ago on a limited edition Guerlain palette. I tried my darndest to locate it in Wellington airport but to no avail. But, heyho, here we go!
Up close and personal
Without flash
It's probably the last one in Melbourne because I got Myer and David Jones in the city to call up Chaddy's and a few other places. But, I never thought of Westfield.
Good on me!

PSA: Bloom's First Flagship Store
First one ever, it's a 5 minute crawl from home.
Bloom's very pretty and very down-to-earth and I think it's Australia's version of Benefit.
From now till 5th May 2008, pick up a voucher and get 10% off all Bloom products at the flagship store.
Address:
574A Chapel St
South Yarra
Victoria, Australia
Phone: 03 9827 2977
Edit: I picked up the voucher from Angelucci's on Chapel St when I was there for dinner last night. I'm sure you could try and mention that to get your 10% off. Most sales staff are very easy-going and would be more than happy that you're making a purchase. Happy buying!

Benefit Thrrrob
Having gotten our Victorian Licenses burning in our wallets, we made our way to the city yesterday for a good roam around.
The Benefit counter at Myer was having a field day! They've got a huge promotion to launch the very pretty, very shimmery face powder thrrrob!
Shaped exactly like its predecessors Dandelion, Georgia, Hoola and Dallas, thrrrob is meant to simulate the natural flush one gets when her heart races. And, like all its other predecessors, it comes with a square little brush with the exact same soft bristles.
I picked up the box and held it side-by-side with my staple Dandelion and Dandelion simply looks peachier compared with thrrrob. Dandelion is a simple ballerina pink with no shimmer but on the other hand, this new member to the family has the faintest bit of shimmer that's hardly noticeable when brushed onto my hand.
Taking into account that neither Dandelion nor Georgia shows up at all on my hand, it is not really saying much. As usual, I had on my regular Dandelion and was rather reluctant to slap on more colour. However, when I swiped the powder with my finger, it's a very sheer dusky pink that would most definitely look gorgeous on the Asian skintone. To be fair, the picture below does do thrrrob justice. This is probably as close to the real thing as it gets.
If it is as sheer as I'd seen it, I would see it no problem at all for cool-toned and fair (moi!) girls. You've just got to be a bit careful and light-handed with it. Even with Dandelion, on certain pale days, I could go overboard and end up to be too red.
Currently retailing for AUD$49, it's priced exactly the same as the other face powders from Benefit. Taking a step back, with the AUD being almost neck-to-neck with the USD, it's rather ridiculous to be paying almost double for a product here. thrrrob retails for only USD$28, so if you've got your own cosmetics mule doing the runs for you, get this in the US (and let me in too to share in with your mule!).
There's also a promotion running in Myer currently. Purchase thrrrob and any other item, you'll get a free gloss from the Her Glossiness range retailing for $32.00 each. Or, purchase any Benefit item, and get a tiny free Benetint sample.
