First of all, may I just say, thank you so much for the amazing response on the preloved makeup sale! Thanks to all who purchased some goodies and to those who helped me spread the word on social media and to their friends and family. The beauty-loving community of bloggers (that’s you!) and non-bloggers (that’s you too!) are truly wonderful. What will I do without you? *sniff* 🙂

Today’s post is a quick one as I spend the day cleaning out the makeup and packaging items to be sent to the respective buyers (plus I’m still recovering from chocolate over-indulgence over Easter. Ahem.). I used to just categorise lippie swatches under Quickie Mentions but I figured I’ll give them a special category called Read My Lips instead. It’s one of those ideas I got while in the shower, so don’t mind me. 😛

I’ll be honest; I didn’t used to be a fan of Face of Australia lipsticks. As beautiful as the colours, texture and longevity are, they smell and taste something awful. I don’t like the waxy, back-in-the-90s typical lipstick scent and taste, which was what most Face of Australia lipsticks had. May I just shout a loud Hallelujah for their new Lasting Looks Lip Cremes for they have finally gotten rid of that yucky taste of wax. It’s now a subtle hint of vanilla. It’s not the best but it’s a vast improvement from the previous lipsticks. It’s not drying on the lips although I do still prefer to slap on some lip balm prior to applying this lippie.

Happy weekend!

I hope you’re as excited about I am about today’s preloved makeup sale on Beautyholics Anonymous. As I mentioned yesterday, 100% of the proceeds (excluding postage fees) of all the items sold on the sale today will be donated to Beyond Blue. Fingers crossed that all items will go to good homes. The sale will be held for 2 weeks and will close by 3 May. I’ll post the receipt of donation on the blog once the money has been donated.

Some I had to let go with a heavy heart because they were difficult to come by when I first got them. But I’m sure you’ll give them a lot more love than I could. Some of the prices may be higher than expected in typical blog sales but this is for a good cause after all. Before we proceed, please take note of the terms and conditions below.

It’s been a while since I’ve done a preloved makeup sale (i.e. blog sale). A couple of weeks ago, I did a huge decluttering of my beauty products; I have piles of products to give away, to donate and lastly, to sell. I’ve been wanting to do a preloved makeup sale for months now but only got down to business a few weeks ago.

This time, the preloved makeup sale is going to go down a little differently than before. The terms and conditions will still be the same; I put them up on the blog and hopefully you’ll make a purchase.

Instead of keeping all the money this time, 100% of the sale proceeds will go to Beyond Blue.
