I cannot stop raving about how good this make up is! They are probably better known for their eye…read moreshadows - they have an amazing range of colours but it's not as extensive as MAC. It's also less expensive because their eye shadows are so pigmented that you only ever need to use a little bit of the product. Whether you're looking for a matte or more sparkly eye shadow, they have all of them. There are only two stores in Sydney that stock Inglot make up: there's one in Westfield Bondi Junction and the other one's in Westfield Chatswood. A friend bought me a gift card from there and I was ecstatic to finally use it. We had a good long browse at the colours (she has a ten colour palette and she says she uses less than half of them!) so taking this in mind, I opted for a new range 'Rainbow eye shadow' where there's three shades in the one square. It's great value for money if you want a couple of shades of a colour to choose from, rather than buying a whole square of the one colour. The one downfall is the packaging unfortunately. The lid of the palette is held down magnetically, and although this doesn't slide off, when you slide off the lid it's easier to scratch the eye shadow beneath. The girl at this store was a little bit of a downer too. She seemed really reluctant to help us out, and seemed pretty bored with the whole concept of customer service. Unfortunate that.

In the middle of Westfield in the centre of the aisle is a little pop up store called 'Inglot'. Gorgeous, bubbly make up artists work there and are willing to help you with suggestions for colour and style. A huge range of colours are available in different textures of eye shadows, shiny or matte. Lip glosses that are packaged in look-a-like test tubes are a thick consistency and really stay on your lips. Unbelievable! The colour I got unfortunately wasn't great on me, too pale, and I wished I had more time to have chosen correctly. I wouldn't mind building up a bit of a collection though! At $22 that is definitely feasible.

If you're as guilty of as much online shopping as I am, you've probably ordered as many cosmetics…read morefrom strawberry.net than you possibly need or ever will use. If you're the impatient sort like myself and don't like waiting the 4-7 days when your next delivery comes, then this is the find I want to brag about. For such a small cosmetic store (one that I'm hoping gets all the more attention it deserves), it holds a mega load of different products. I recently found a Guerlain lipstick online (Rouge G - Try it!) because I refused to pay the enormous rip off they charge at the major department stores. On this opportunistic day, I happened to find the same shade of lipstick at this store and I found it was even cheaper than strawberry.net (50c cheaper, but still...) AND it was minus the wait. They stock all kinds of cosmetics, facial cleansers, eyelash curlers and of these, most of them are quality brands like Clarins, Guerlain, YSL, Bobbi Brown and more. The stock is constantly changing which is annoying when you finally find that favourite shade of lipstick, but be mindful of purchasing old products as they may have deteriorated in quality. Hopefully you can tell how excited I was about this place but I'm no good at keeping secrets, have a look!

It's usually discontinued products so you can find stuff that may no longer be available elsewhere. They stock premium brands: Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Calvin Klein, Shseido and Lancôme, as well as familiar brands such as Clinique, Dr Lewins. Revlon, Maybelline and L'Oreal. You can get Chanel single eye shadow for under $20! I have also bought quite a few skincare products here from the Dior and Clairns range. Around Mother's Day and Christmas, there are plenty of make-up gift packs and skincare/spa sets which are great value for money and will impress the recipient.

Not that Gloss sells bad quality makeup, but it's no Napoleon Perdis. They sell everything from tinted moisturizer, to nailpolish, to fake eyelashes, to funky coloured eyeshadows. And you can probably get any single item of makeup for under $10, which is on the cheap side. The salesgirls are helpful, so if you have any queries, step right up and ask them.

But when I started living with a friend whose beauty products smelt divine, worked well and were worth a small fortune I did find myself wanting to jazz up my very bland collection. Once you walk through the doors at Mecca Cosmetic my tip is to grab a sales person straight away. The girls know their products inside out and it'll save you trying to negotiate what's what in this collection of worldwide boutique beauty brands. Be prepared to spend up as this beauty doesn't come cheap. That said the products are so unique and beautiful quality. I walked away with a Diptyque EDT ($120) and Kai Body Buff ($65) that I am so exciting to own and use!

It seems as though there is a permanent sale going on, because the 'Importers Cancelled Orders' sign arely moves, which is great. Located on Burwood Rd, close to the Railway Station, GBS is a great place to pick up those small, insignificant purchases you can never have enough of. You know the ones I mean- shampoo, cotton buds, nail polish, makeup wipes and other cosmetic paraphernalia. The prices are super cheap, but you get what you pay for (i.e. the $2 nail polish that starts chipping before it leaves the bottle). They also sell bags and clothes but I've never really paid too much attention to these items, so they mustn't be too appealing (to me at least). Check it out for yourself and see what bargains you can find.
