I miss the company of my best friend, who is actually living overseas (remember the last posts about the overseas sisters lipgloss, yeh, that is me as well).
I thought I could do better than feeling sad and lonely, so I perked myself with some really luxe, niche and snobby goodies...
The Luxe
A too-expensive body oil...
I just know I could replicate this with a nice melon-oil carrier oil and some neroli essential oil...but my dear...it is Tom Ford Daaahhhling...and too expensive for its 61 euros...still, I needed it!
I could order it online from Belgium webshop Parfuma.com...and I didn't only order the body oil...
The Niche
High end makeup that is really difficult to get, either online or in brick-and-mortar store...
They were really generous with samples. I could write down my preference of samples. And yeh, I wrote down Armani Cosmetics. They gave me the Skin Fabric in 04, the Primer, and a gorgeous and niche perfume sample from Armani. The shipping was in two days, so that was instant anti-sadness gratification for me.
The Snobby
Any order from Colette.fr
Last year I was able to visit the store in real life...Well, they are one of the snobbiest bunch around, although there were some moody, too-fassshionable girls that asked me moodily if they could help me (OH WOW). Anyway, did not buy anything that moment, but wanted to return for a Diana camera.
Anyway, the doorman said it was closed, but I saw quite a crowd inside...I probably did not have one of those big, so-called trendy glasses on (that I actually think are quite unflattering on every person, although the rest of the world think they are sooo trendy). Anyway, I actually said I would never buy anything from them, but they had a wicked sale and I wanted a Pat Falcäo necklace for such a long time...
The postman who delivered it to me is not so snobby (just sometimes, when he knows I want the parcel really bad, LOL), so yeh, hurray for online ordering...
The whole necklace:
I got it on sale from 57 euros, but it is now back at its original price from 85 euros (check to see if I am blagging or not here).
The designer is a Brazilian woman who was an engineer in sciences first, but went to cultivate her creative side...I really like that...
That is my Brazilian heart to conclude my luxe, niche and snobby hauls for this week.
Oh, wait...I actually forgot my hair-haul that includes my niche Oribe Signature Cream, but I will write about that later...
