After a disappointing boxing day shopping trip back in 2012, I decided to skip the boxing day sales last year (2013) and wait for the January sales instead.
Here’s what I picked up:
Mor marshmallow little luxuries hand cream (25% off at Myer)
I absolutely LOVE the Mor marshmallow range so I picked up this little beauty for my handbag
Rimmel lipsticks (50% off at Chemist Warehouse)

EcoTools airbrush concealer brush (25% off at Priceline)
I’ve been wanting a brush to apply concealer over my blemishes and the EcoTool brushes have good reviews. I haven’t yet tried using the brush but hoping it does a decent job!
Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Enchanted perfume (50% off at Chemist Warehouse)

Mor Diamond Decadence Luxury Marshmallow gift set (25% off at Myer)
I was in Myer the day before Christmas and they had already started discounting the Christmas giftsets. I rushed over to pick up this Mor giftset because I’ve had my eye on it since it hit the shelves. Unfortunately, all the marshmallow giftsets were sold out online and in the three Myer stores around Perth that I checked. Last week I was in Myer again and spotted this gift set lying there, I was SO SO EXCITED! It was the last one too so I grabbed it. Paid $49 for the giftset and it contains a 100 ml EDP, 125 ml hand and nails cream and 180 gram soap bar.
MAC pro longwear concealer in NC 45 (Myer)
Technically I bought this the day before Christmas but thought I’d throw it in this post. I was lucky enough to get the $20 voucher promotion that Myer were running for using their app so ended up paying just $12 for this concealer!
And that’s the end of my shopping haul. I ordered a few things online at the end of December so will do another post once I receive everything. I’m pretty happy with what I picked up, although I missed out on the Benefit gift sets at Myer because I was too late.
I also needed clothes for work but didn’t buy much because nothing was really discounted and I didn’t like anything.
Did you shop the January sales? What is your favourite purchase?
Much love

Lipsticks and Coffee 
Hey! Adorable blog name, my blog’s name is But First, Coffee – so I love it. haha. I adore the rimmel lipsticks quite a bit!
But first, Coffee was my Tumblr blog title for the last three years! That is so coincidental haha 🙂
I think the boxing day sales are so overrated! A lot of people buy things just for the sake of it. I ventured to the priceline near my house first thing in the morning and that was about it! Most of the sales continue on into January anyway so you were smart to wait! 🙂
I agree! I also expected further mark downs in January and that didn’t happen, most stores just had the same boxing day prices.
