Honestly you're probably sick of seeing hauls on my blog right? But I just love hauls.
First...story time. I seriously can't remember where I first saw it but when I did, I knew I had to have it. The colours were so beautiful, the packaging was so chic and the value for money was just too good. Plus with Mecca now trying to compete with Sephora (coming soon to Australia) I knew the Australian price would be somewhat reasonable. It is...wait for it...the Nars Virtual Domination Cheek palette.
First I tried buying it off spacenk which is an England based company (if I'm not mistaken) but sadly they don't ship Nars products to Australia (what a bummer). Then I was looking up reviews to determine if this was something I really really really wanted. And so the obsession began. I sussed out when it was coming to Australia then stalked the Mecca page for about 4-5 days (not even gonna lie), it finally popped up and I added it straight to my cart, clicked buy, and so the waiting game began. I made the order on Monday and it arrived on Wednesday but because of the stupid backed up traffic (damn you Monash freeway) I didn't get home in time to sign for the package so I had to wait till the next day to pick it up.
I was so impatient I opened it in the car park and was pleseantly surprised by the way it came boxed. And so I thought to myself I have to blog this.
The "balloon thingies" on the side meant that the products were nicely secured.
And the box inside the box was filled with a fair bit of tissue paper for extra cushioning I suppose. And the box itself is so pretty.

Shipping is only free for orders over $75, and the palette was $86 so I thought in case it sells out in store, I'll play it safe and order it while I had the chance. You also get to choose 3 samples which is a nice added bonus. So overall I'm giving Mecca a big thumbs up for their service and gorgeous packaging.
I just wanted to show a bit of love because more often then not people talk about their bad experience, which I respect because it helps people choose wisely. But once in a while it's nice to show some love.
Thank you to everyone who reads my blog. I really appreciate it. Hope you're having an amazingly beautiful day.
