Keep on Hauling (plus how to wardrobe edit effectively)

Wanna know the best way to perform a wardobe edit/vinnies run? Get the boyfriend/partner/brother/father/nearest male neighbour to help you out. As I watched my boy pull mountains of clothes out of my wardrobe "I never see you wear this"..."You haven't worn this since last year"..."This is fricken ugly, what IS this?"... I wondered what the hell I had done, enlisting the boy to help me go through my clothes to decrease the size of my wardrobe. In the end, he had pulled three quarters of my clothes out and they all lay in a "throw away" pile on the bed. I rescued some, but all in all this was the most ruthless and effective vinnies run that I had ever done. I owe all of it to the dear boy. I did desperately need to decrease the size of my wardobe plus two tall boys (yes, I had that many clothes), so I am eternally grateful. I hope he knows that his services will be utilised A LOT more.

Now, I wish I had the boy with me on Wednesday when I went shopping, to tell me to stop. I have now yet another pale pink lipstick, plus two more red lipsticks. The two mascara's were what I actually went shopping for, because I am desperate to try them both. I did actually need another under eye concealer, because mine is running out. At $3.95 with 25% off, I really couldn't care less about buying that one.

I also bought another shirt, after throwing away an entire tall boy worth of stuff. I don't have anything like it, all my stripey shirts are blue, not green, but still. Probably not necessary.

I do find that when ever I do a wardrobe edit I then go and buy a whole new pile of stuff. I think I got dropped on the head when I was younger.




Sportsgirl Lipstick in Fruit Tingle, BYS Lipstick in Red Hot, Chi Chi Lipstick in Stylista, Chi Chi Lipstick in Exhibitionist.
Essence Stay Natural Concealer in Soft Nude, Eco Tools Concealer Brush, Face of Australia Impact-Curl Mascara, Australis Voluptulash Mascara, Just Jeans Shirt.

My sunnies were not purchased on the day, but I have recently fallen back in love with them so they get to be photographed as well.

I better make good use out of all this stuff, what would you like me to swatch/review first?

  1. I want so many of your haul items! On my to-buy list are the concealer (so cheap!) the FOA mascara (purple tube is so pretty!) Tutti Frutti lipstick looks amazing, I'm going to go crazy when you post a pic of you wearing it >< You makes me want every lipstick you own I tell ya, you're dangerous. Good on you for throwing clothes out, that is exactly what I need to do !

  2. Looks like a cheap and cheerful haul! Awesome! Also, I do a massive chuck out, then realise I have approximately 3 shirts and 2 pairs of jeans left, and go out and haul again LOL. I'd love to see a review of the Australis Voluptulash! x

  3. This is exactly what my boy said to me about helping me out chucking things out (trouble is, my mum and my sisters all share my stuff - tricky!) so I haven't got around to clearing things out - but , but , but , I still would love to do that and the feeling of after leaving them at the salvos or vinnies will be a tad satisfying - HAHAHA and the more reason to restyle your own wardrobe again :)

  4. Definitely! It was also supremely satisfying, I can't seem to throw many clothes out, but with his help it was relatively easy!

  6. I love being an enabler, and for $9.95 you can't really go wrong... I will try and post a pic up next week just to tempt you haha. The FOA is pretty good on first impressions, I tried it out for the first time yesterday! Definitely buy the concealer, there is none better, and it is the cheapest!

  8. Cute sunnies, and I love those two Chi Chi lipsticks. Their range surprised me, lots of gorgeous colours to choose from and the formulation seemed really nice and creamy. Almost good to have a ruthless edit of your wardrobe - out with the old, in with the new! :)

  12. The colours are absolutely beautiful, I am still working out the kinks though. Definitely good to have a ruthless edit every now and again, I hope that Tim knows he will be required for wardobe edits a fair bit from now on!

  14. Wowee, what a great haul! Jelly of all the items you've picked up. :) I'd definitely like to see a review on the Sportsgirl lipstick, that colour is to die for! If you have time, the Essence concealer too - I'm on an Essence kick I think. xx

  15. Oh my god. I would never let anyone in my wardrobe like that. Haha you're a brave woman! I prefer to live in denial. :P (p.s. those lipstick colurs are freakin beautiful!)
