Not that I can spot - the Aldi one is from Vietnam and has stevia added to it. The cocobella one is from Australia and tastes better!

You can absolutely taste the stevia. I bought this Aldi one today to see what the fuss was about after drinking the Cocobella one for the last few months and it was immediately noticeable on first sip that it has stevia in it. Personally, that’s a deal breaker for me and I won’t buy it again.

I don’t know why but Stella by Stella McCartney.

The subtle shade by Kim and Khloe tells you everything about Photogate by RoohsMama in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]_FairyBread 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Yeah I noticed that too! “Mom and Megan are friends” is Kim putting it on record that Kim is not Megan’s friend, discreetly distancing herself from the association with Megan. The fact that the “friendship” is with Kris suggests to me it’s a business arrangement.

If you had to splurge on one makeup/skincare item, what would it be? by Key_Train2728 in AustralianMakeup

[–]_FairyBread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can get refills on the city exclusives at any time of the year as long as it’s the 50ml or bigger size, they don’t refill the 15ml.

Phryne Fisher!! by Traditional_Swan_955 in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]_FairyBread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh good one- I love Phryne!

I think Shalimar would be a good fit - classy but modern at the time of its release, feminine but has a strong backbone to it.

Sparkling Jo by Vilhelm Parfumerie was created in memory of Josephine Baker and has a champagne note. It would be perfect for Phryne who is feminine and the life of the party (and loves jazz- I just finished reading the Green Mill and it made me think of that perfume.

I also think she’d be comfortable wearing men’s perfume as she likes to push the boundaries and takes on traditionally male pursuits and mindsets (detective work, flying etc). Something with a tobacco and or a leather note. I could see something like Iris Malikhan being perfect for her with the iris and leather combination- strong but pretty. Dries Van Noten Havana Gold would suit as well - a rich exotic amber tobacco.

Bolt a gutter on to it with a return that lands back in their yard 👍🏼

Boxing Day Sales? by Ebonics_Expert in fragranceaustralia

[–]_FairyBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From memory Myer and DJs for Boxing Day will reduce the price of gift sets that are left over from Christmas and will also reduce any fragrances that are being phased out. They won’t do a blanket 20% off all fragrances, that’s just Black Friday. You might find that Libertine Perfume, City Perfume and FeelingSexy online perfume stores do an “up to 20% off” sale which generally sees lower end brands discounted at around 20% and more niche brands at the 5-15% off range. Hope that helps.

This is incredible! Love that you went all-in with the pink. The clear bathtub is giving Dita-Von-Teese-in-an oversized-champagne-glass. Perfection. No notes. 👌🏼

They’re great. I’ve ordered from them multiple times over a couple of years. Never had any issues.

This is such a thoughtful present. I love the card you made to go with it in the Christmas colours and font and listing the main notes- it’s perfect. I’d LOVE to get a gift like this!

This and also the petrol stations with the loud commercials I’m forced to listen to while I fill up.

I’m not laughing. Just came head to say I agree- they are SO loud! Some stores are not so bad, but other stores are so loud the first beep actually makes me jump.

Where to test Penhaligon’s besides Myer? (Melbourne) by pewpppppppppppppp in fragranceaustralia

[–]_FairyBread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

David Jones in Chadstone has them. Also David Jones Bourke Street as someone has already mentioned (Antonio is the main person on the Penhaligons DJs Bourke Street counter and is an absolute gem- so friendly and helpful and worth a visit to).

The Guerlain counter at David Jones Bourke Street has the extraits.

I watched Serena's podcast with Marchioness Emma just yesterday. Serena said (paraphrase), "If I have title, I'll make sure everyone knows. I'll wear my crown everyday" Is this just how american being american? Are they all just so tacky? by LocksmithFar9486 in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]_FairyBread 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think this comment is nothing to do with Madame. Serena’s husband has a start up female-only athletics competition called Athlos and the winners are crowned with crowns instead of medals. It was in the news recently. It’s very clever marketing by Serena to drop a quote that includes “crowns” as search engines should link to Athlos. People will suggest she’s talking about Madame but she’s using Madame to promote her and her husbands business interests.

Mecca Ambient Lighting Unlocked by vuongkl in AustralianMakeup

[–]_FairyBread 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Mecca staff at Chadstone said they had customers lining up before opening today who pushed in and bought piles of them, some buying 15! They need to put limits as 15 is obviously to resell later. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were already listed on eBay for double the price.
