the autum / winter 2010 beauty catelog from myer.

i haven't shopped in department stores for a long time. i feel so out of reach when i flip through the pages. so expensive!

just look at price of lipsticks, quoted in aud. guerlain $68. lancome $48. ysl $55. givency $47. chanel $50. dior $48. sheseido $45.

it's so easy to spend over $100 nowadays. the ysl shadow 5-color eyeshadow palette itself is already $99. lancome eye color quad $83.

current currency exchange rate aud$1 = usd$0.91. if you compare prices with those listed at sephora, it's really good profit!

i always wonder do they sell? who'd buy here? the poor can't afford them. the rich could fly overseas and get them at a more reasonable price.
