I have just got back from 10 days in Melbourne where I spent a small fortune on makeup. Because I'm a Mac Pro member I can use my membership at the Chapel Street store (normally I have to email my order in because we don't have a Pro store in Perth) and I went completely nuts. They sell a few of their best selling skin care products in mini travel sizes so of course I grabbed a few of those too. I now have a mini fix+ in every handbag :/
Having lived in Melbourne before I have always dreamed of going to the Estee Lauder staff shop. I imagine it to be the holy grail of discount makeup shopping. Having never been lucky enough to go I was over the moon when I found a Loreal disount shop on Bridge Road. I am not sure what the shop was called but it is over the road from You Little Beauty (another discount shop with brands like Revlon and Maybelline)
I'm going to call this shop the Loreal Shop because thats what it says on my bank statement. The Loreal shop stocked Biotherm, Lancome, YSL and a few other brands and is definately worth checking out if you're in Melbourne. There was skin care, makeup and perfume. I noticed on some Shu Uemura lashes that they had a David Jones sales sticker on them so I am unsure what this shops back story is. I bought YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation B50 for $35!!! This stuff retails for $82 at David Jones. I also bought:
-Lancôme Blush Highlighter Illuminating Powder in 001 Moonlight Rose $30
-Lancôme Bronzer $30
-Biotherm Skin Vivo moisturiser $35
-YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils $25
-Lancôme Hypnose Mascara $25
I totally recommend this shop and looking back wish I bought more!!
