I got some wonderful glitter eyeliner from there for eight bucks a piece, and a rather nice black "Doll Eyes" mascara for $20. Totally recommended from this Melbournite!

The graphics, the language, everything. I am a tea drinker at work (mainly because I was sick of wasting $2 a day on coffee that I could barely choke down), and have just begun indulging in mark (AVON's little...sister? brother?).

And seeing as you're from Melbourne, Cosmetics & Fragrances Direct in Spencer St DFO has MOR candles for $12.95 (Usually $39.95). Stumbled across them on a layover the other day. I Love the Cirque Tree one- gorgeous! Oops, I meant ‘Miss July’. And seeing as you’re from Melbourne, Cosmetics & Fragrances Direct in Spencer St DFO has MOR candles for $12.95 (Usually $39.95).

They are all in different formulations I belive, but all creamy, matt finishes. And I swear by the Lip Plumper! Traytable: Great rec's there. I'll have to check out those candles as I love creating a fragrant environment that way. Maravonda: Oh there are loads more Mad Men special issues in the works. Just metering them all out. Betty Boogie: Great Idea. I make my own salts too. Perhaps I will publish the receipie next time. K-Line: Oh yes, delish! Kelly: Do we get to see your fancy new lips on the blog? Kayleigh: I think AVON are one of the good cheaper brands, as they remain cheap by keeping their overheads down, rather than lowering the standard of the product to fit into that price point. Asche: Excellent point! just lowering your standard to buy poor quality rubbish from products produced in sub standard conditions, is certainly not the way to go. Casey: I haven't heard of that brand. Is it only available in the US? Miss Red Lips: It IS great mascara. I'd forgotten about that one. Emer: Music is one of the most powerful and inexpensive ways to change your mood. Just try and be grumpy listening to Doris Day. Hillary: I love Amythest, Sangria and Plush the best.

I actually sell Avon (and by sell I mean buy myself stuff with my discount and once in a blue moon sell to one other person) It'd be nice to tell people what color you like as a loyal reader. *hillary What colors do you like from Avon.

It was a Playboy Cosmetics 'Calendar Girl' lipstick in 'Miss Jukyl - a gorgeous fuschia shade- and best of all it was on clearance for $5. The packaging is so retro & cute I think I ended up buying about 5 in various shades. I bought some simple but beautiful red roses from (of all places!) my local Coles last Friday, for the princely sum of $4 on clearance. They were perfect, no flaws, only reduced before the weekend. I used the included sachet of flower food and they lasted a whole week! Another favourite pick-me-up is lighting a scented candle and reading a good book before bed. Target had some cute ranges of candles, mine were $7.50 reduced from $10, they are in gorgeous embossed boxes and come in a glass container, and the scents are fabulous! They remind me of MOR but at a fraction of the price! I got the cutest lipstick from Priceline the other day.
