About a month ago I found out about a great new online store, Lipstick Republic, and I've been obsessed ever since. Lipstick Republic stocks international brands such as E.L.F., NYX, OCC and Z-palette, as well as brands I've never heard of such as Eye of Horus and Saucebox.
I've only placed one order so far but, as I said, I'm hooked. There's so much more I want but, given that I'm doing Project Pan (I had a momentary lapse in judgement, let's just say) I decided to restrain myself. That shows a little self control, right?
Want to know what I bought? Keep reading!
Large Z-Palette in Black* | Lippy Girl Organic Lipstick in Gob Smacked | Lippy Girl Organic Lipstick in Very Vixen
After talking to the owner of the online store, Michelle, I decided to try out the Lippy Girl Organic Lipsticks. She spoke so highly of them and, as you all know, I'm a sucker for a recommendation. I also picked up a Large Z-Palette in Black. It was so difficult to choose a colour so, in the end, I went with black so I didn't have to choose! I have so many individual eyeshadows and they take up heaps of space so this was such a great investment! I paid $22.00 for the Z-Palette and $15.00 for each lipstick.
Whilst I've only placed one order with Lipstick Republic, I'm really impressed with them and it won't be my last! I placed my order late Tuesday (22/1) afternoon and received an email early on Wednesday (23/1) saying it had been posted. My order arrived one week later (30/1) which really impressed me, especially considering there was a public holiday and I live in WA. It always takes ages for things to get to me here.
On top of that, every question I had was answered quickly via email. For me, great customer service is so important for online stores and Lipstick Republic does not disappoint!
*The palette came empty, of course, but I've already depotted a lot of eyeshadows and put them in!
So far I'm really enjoying these lipsticks but I have a full review coming next week, including swatches etc. Stay tuned and remember to keep an eye out for it, especially if you think you might like the look of these colours.

I would put blushes and single eyeshadows in it :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great idea, Sheri! A good way to declutter. x
DeleteI have so many blushes at the moment and I would love to depot them and save space! :) x
ReplyDeleteI have so many blushes I'd depot because i'm yet to have a blush palette :)
ReplyDeleteblush, eyeshadows and lipsticks, all in colour order! awesome giveaway, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have never owned a palette like this before so its not something that I have ever had to think about but i do like the thought of space saving and something like this would be wonderful for travelling for extended periods where you wanted a great selection of colours.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty OC so i guess i would de-pot as many of my eyeshadows as possible and would put them in colour order...grouping all the greens together, etc
I have so many stila, inglot and assorted eyeshadows I would love to put in it. I plan on making my own smokey z palette :D
ReplyDeleteI would love to put my single eyeshadows in them since I have way too many and it gets quite time consuming to find them and use them. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at buying a Z palette for a while now! I've got a few essence blushes and eyeshadows that I could depot, and I hold off buying single eyeshadows a lot to save space - Having a Z palette means I can buy more of those!
ReplyDeleteI would start my second Sugarpill Palette seeings my current one is full!
ReplyDeleteThis is all new and wonderful to me, so many eyeshadows this would be great :)
ReplyDeletei would like to put eye shadow and blush in it

ReplyDeleteThis, Tayla. I'm not sure why this comment says it's been removed as I did not do so but rest assured, it is still counted as an entry. x
DeleteI love the idea of a Z palette. I'm currently working in a different town to where I live and am travelling and spending nights away from home a lot. Putting my eye shadows and blushes into a Z palette would make carrying my makeup around a lot easier!
ReplyDeleteI probably would put blushes in it! Thanks for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteI would - like you have - put all my essence single shadows in it! They are so pretty, and cheap enough that if I completely mess up the depotting process and they fall apart I can replace them without crying! :)
ReplyDeleteI would depot more of my Wet n Wild palettes to put in it.
ReplyDeleteSorry...I didn't read fact that this is for Australia residents only until after I had done a bunch of entries.
DeleteGood luck to everyone!
Great giveaway - I'd love to depot some of my blushers to put in the palette :)
ReplyDeleteI'd put blushes and eyeshadows in :)

ReplyDeleteI would have to depot some of my drugstore shadows and put them in there!
ReplyDeleteI'm always looking for a good blush! I guess that's what I need to put in there!
ReplyDeletemy eyeshadow pots
ReplyDeletelove that it's made from recycle materials,
and if your pots are plastic that you include strips
so they won't bounce around

ReplyDeleteSuch a great prize! I regret not getting the Z palette at last years IMATS. Hopefully this year I'll get one :)
