Simone Slater [한국의 외국인 생활]: 2015

Its that time of the year, the malls are full and the prices have increased. But that does not mean we can't spoil our-selves or lust over some gorgeous items. Today's blogpost is all about a gift guide for HER, If you want to spoil your girlfriend, wife, best friend, these items are perfect, some are affordable and some require you splurge.
So firstly we going to talk about fashion and then get into the beauty products. Most of the products listed are items that I would personally want *hint hint* But as you know Christmas is not about the gifts, its family time and remembering the real reason why we celebrate Christmas as Christians.

Dresses are a perfect gift especially in South Africa we are experiencing one of the hottest times of the year. A cocktail length dress is wearable and can be dressed down or up for any occasion. You can also pair it with a nude pair of heels for a dinner with your bae or drinks with your girls. One of the most famous palettes to ever hit the BH Cosmetics website is the Carli Bybel Palette. Since it launched it has been sold out and on pre-order for a few weeks, the site even crashed, and I'm not blaming her because the palette is absolutely beautiful. I am dying to get my hands on it and every other beauty blogger. LOL. After watching DesiMakeup's vlog I fell inlove with the Tarte Cosmetics Tarlette palette, The colours are so gorgeous and apparently the texture and pigmentation of the product is amazing. So I am definitely trying to make a major purchase on the tarte website. If you know of any local websites that do ship to South Africa, please comment below and let me know. Thanks! I also included some home decor/workspace items just to jazz up your home desk or office. A girl can never have enough rosegold in her room.

Happy Tuesday loves. Today's post is something that I only discovered this year after shopping at MAC for so many years. So if you are a MAC client, then this post may help you in the future. We all love a good bargain and when companies give us the option to return our used products in exchange for a new product then hello I shall run for that deal.

The concept:

"Because we share your commitment to the environment, M·A·C accepts returns of its primary packaging through the Back to M·A·C Program. By returning six [6] M·A·C primary packaging containers to a M·A·C counter or M·A·C Cosmetics online, you'll receive a free M·A·C lipstick of your choice as our thanks to you."

After shopping at MAC over the past years I only realized this year that I should be saving all my used products. I had so many empty foundation bottles, compact powder containers and concealers containers which were serving no purpose lying around on my vanity. So I popped down to my nearest MAC counter with all the empties and returned it to the store. I had just a little over 18 products to be exact. I had no idea what the process was to exchange the products for a lipstick but I did know you can return your empties and will receive a lipstick in exchange. So the assistant counted all the products and told me that I could pick out two lipsticks from the counter in exchange for 12 products which I would return to the store. I was super excited because I hadn't tried out the MAC Lippies yet, so I decided to try out the MAC Matte Taupe and Matte Diva. The matte lipsticks retail for R210 each.

Process:

❥ Collect any 6 empty products (Concealers, Foundations, Powder compact, Eyeshadow, Trio compact, Pigments, Mascara tube, Foundation tube, Blush compact, Liquid liner tube, Cream colour blush, Paint tube, Cream colour base)

❥ Take it to your nearest MAC store

❥ Exchange it for a lipstick of your choice

Don't forget to keep collecting any empties so you can score. I hope this post was as informative as it was for me when I found out about this deal at MAC. Have a blessed day!
