Today I woke up knowing it would be an Awesome day.

I went to the hairdresser to get a change in colour, not dramatic but nice and subtle

While at the hairdressers my husband sent me a text with a parcel that arrived.  One of two I was expecting today and it was some clothes from ASOS

Then 10 minutes later he sent me the photo of my parcel from American through MyUS.com that I've been shopping for and waiting for the last month

Once I finished at the hairdresser I drove over to Chermside as I was hoping to get colour matched at the MAC counter & keeping my fingers crossed the salesperson would be generous enough to give me a sample to try before I spend so much on the product & below is a picture of my colour matching

Not Happy
I walked around Westfield with a head darker than my neck and a very defined brush mark indicating were the foundation stopped and my natural skin came through.  Plus I had bits of brush hair mingled with the foundation both on my nose and above my eyebrows.

If this is what a high end makeup experience is like then I think I'll stick to drug store.  I can't make a decision to buy MAC foundation based on MAC's service.  I've decided to complain to the company but not give the information as to what store because the girl that served me was absolutely lovely & I wouldn't dream of putting the blame on her.  It would be the Australian MAC that aren't generous with the customer & they need to keep a track of there own staff as to there skills in colour matching.

Anyway I didn't realise I looked so silly until I got home and looked in the car mirror so I think I just made a few people that served me giggle, so a good time had by all because I had fun at Chermside.

I called into Bargain City and picked up some really cool Hanging Jewelry Organizers, they're 2 for $3 flocked in black or pink & I choose black.  Haven't worked out were I'll put them but I'm sure I'll find a spot.

I picked up a hair twist thingy & a butterfly hair clamp plus I finally picked up a packet of Shiseido facial cotton pads from David Jones for $6

Picked up some subways and headed home to open my parcels & when I drove into the driveway I could see a parcel sitting in our letterbox.  I just assumed it would be Peter's as I didn't have anymore parcels coming.

Opened up the parcel & thought I don't remember putting the order through to buy these products.

You see going back about a month ago I was on Sleek make-up site adding things to my basket like I usually do with the on-line stores (this save time when they put specials on, as I already have wish lists going) obsessed I know right.  Well this night I must have had a sugar overload and couldn't stay awake so remember just shutting down the computer and not ordering the lovely Shangri-La palette and lip gloss in the colour Rumour.  Well the colour Rumour is sold out so that was disappointing and then I got distracted with  shopping in the American on-line stores for my shopping spree with MyUS.com and forgot about Shangri-La.

It suddenly dawned on me why I was holding this palette, lipglosses, pout paint & 3 by blush kit.  Emily from lala288228 told me that she had ordered me a little something from the Sleek site for my Birthday because I really like the brand & in my mind I was expecting something "little" because Emily is only just on the verge of entering into adulthood & I think has a part time job during her very busy life of HSC, dancing & experiencing life as an 18 year old.  So I am very appreciative of her generosity to me and am so excited to receive products I was so wanting to try.

I will add swatches of these beautiful colours to the Sleek swatch collection I intend to do soon.  I just have to work out the best way of filming swatches lol.

So I think it's a very special day for me to have received wonderful gifts, parcels from abroad, some cool cloths to wear, had my hair done & eaten good for the last few weeks and I feel so good I think I can add an extra day to my working week.  You see I've been sick for awhile and had to stop work for 7 months then have slowly been trying to build my work day back up.  So far I've only made it to 2 days but am doing great so if my work agrees I will be up to 3 days.  WOO HOO more shopping therapy:)♥

I'm going to do an unboxing & blog post on my parcel from the US but it's dark now and hubby has just asked me out on a date.  (because he wants to go to outback jacks I think it's called) so I will do the unboxing tomorrow as I feel a lot of editing and fiddly things will have to be done as I want to give everyone who may be interested, as much info as I can through my experience with using a forwarding postal service in the US.

Bye for now & make sure to enjoy your week :)♥

PS Emily I bet I have an extra item in my haul that you will love & definitely need as an 18 year old starting a new phase of her life.

I built that up good didn't I???   Really I just have something that I bought extra off that was on an amazing special, so I'm going to send it down as I think that you should have it as my celebration of reaching 200 subbies :)♥
