Pony Corral / I have......A Problem......
« on: November 30, 2018, 01:07:47 AM »
I have....A PROBLEM.... :devious:
I'm started of as a G1 colllector....But....
Now I'm seeing more and more G3 ponies here on the forum...they REALLY grow more & MORE to me..... :yikes:

I *collected* a big bunch of G3 ponies because I bought in the beginning of my G1 collection bigger lots with ponies, and there where sometimes G3 mixed with G1....but my plan was to sell those G3's.....but...you already could guess....that never happened!!!
This summer I could buy a big lot of MIB G3's for just a few euro...and I was planning to sell them because I could make a decent profit out of them....but...
I just can't do it!!!! :sad:

I'm the only Pony with this Problem???  :redface:

Pony Brag Arena / My New Pony Haul!!! And very small Kingsday find!
« on: April 30, 2017, 03:03:30 AM »
This year we had decided to stay in our own town with Kingsday, my Mother passed away this Februari and the years before we did always go to my parents and celebrate Kingsday with them, for people who do not know about Kingsday in The Netherlands....there are in almost every town flea markets and other festivals to celebrate the Birthday of our King...it is a tradition!  :biggrin:

So I'm alway's on the hunt for ponies or other toys and nice vintage clothes and accessories and everything else that catch my fancy! This year I only found one *Pony* a big Fake G4 plushie for the amzing price of 30 cents!! We called a price like this jokingly *A rib from your ribcase* almost the size of a Build A Bear buth very fluffy. I think this is a prize from the carnival! But my Little Doggie Kyra is totally in love with *her* Pony!!!

But this year I didn't found much on the flea-market, only the plushy and 3 vintage eveningbags.....
But then we walked past the Intertoys....and I looked...and looked again..... :lookround: :lookround: :lookround:
I gave my partner a winke...*Do you see that! On those papers on the windows of the shop state that everything is for half price!!!*  :blink: :blink: :blink:

We both thought.....nooo...that could not be true!!!
But when we asked a lady who worked there, she told: *Yes! Everything is 50% off because we are going to move!*  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
Soooo I headed straight to the Pony section and was shocked to see that there where a lot of G4 items left!!! So I grabbed some things and on top of the highest shelve there where a couple of big boxes with  Rarity's Booktique!
But I'm not so big, so I asked my fiance to look for me if he could find a price tag, and he said €19.99...so I thought....If this is really true *I still couldn't believe that EVERYTHING in THAT STORE was 50% OFF!!!!*....The Booktique was then also for half price and only 10 euro!
But I already had a couple of items in my hands and was looking wich ones I was be able to buy with the money I had in my purse.
And then my beloved one said *Come...take it all we are going to the register!*
 :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
So I said..*No I think I haven't enough money with me to buy them all!!!
He said...*Come...you haven't bought a pony in decades...you get them al from me!*
So there I stood with The Booktique and A RainbowRocks Doll with Rarity a shimmering and glittering Twilight Sparkle and Princess Twilight *the very small version with fabrick wings*
And at the counter the registery gives the *normal* amount for this all and it was normally almost 70 euro's and now for only 35 euro's!!! So I think I have made a steal with this for al those G4 items!!!!
Here is A pic when I just unboxed everything!

Hi EveryPony!!!
Before I'm gonna ask a couple of things...I would like to tell you a bit of the background story!

I'm a real Girly Girl and love Make-Up and Fragrance and have a planchet full of jars with creams and whatnot in my bathroom! I have also an Antique Vanity table loaded with my Make-Up and lotions and Fragrances and other *stuff* like the clip in roses I always wear in my hair, that is really a signature look of me...I have them in every color matching my clothing!!

I did use for about 10 years a lot of my products from the Swedisch company Oriflame, I have no clue if they are populair across the Big Pond....
I was even a short time a consultant with them, but due to work I couldn't give my Oriflame work not enough time. But I alway stayed what the called a Beauty Member so I could order direct trough them with a discount.
But the last year and a half I got the feeling they where changing, products vanished without a warning, and 2/3 brochures later they where introduced again with a new packaging and a slight name change and with the text NEW!...and a bigger pricetag for the same amount of product...or even less!!!!!  :shocked:
I also had a fair amount of their perfumes, and they where truly of *Big Name* quality but much cheaper and the scents where also very different from eachother.
But again...name change...price change...quality change...but not for the good!!!!
When before a new scent was introduced you could buy it for a price between 15 and 20 euro....now the pricetag is 30 till 35 and even 40 euro!!! Almost double the price!! But...and that is not the worst...every scent the bring out als *New* smell almost the same!!! It looks llike they use a base scent and change only the topnote!! So when the topnote wears off...the perfumes smell almost the same!!!!
And they jacked the prices up of every product....I mean 10 euro for a simple lipstick???? Are you kidding me!!! And when you order one....the container held less product also!!!  :pout: :pout: :pout:
So to make a long story short....I'm beyond disappointed with the whole brand!!!

So in December 2016 I got a brochure from Avon in hands at the Hospital sitting in the waiting room. I recognised this brand as one my Granny and Aunts back in the day used! But Avon does not sell anymore official in The Netherlands unfortunately!! But I live now very short against the border with Germany, so I think a Avon Rep has left her books there, because many people live here and work in Germany and vice versa!

And what a shock it was for me!!!! So many products!!! And so much for so many less Euros then Oriflame!!! So I begun my research to see if I could buy these products! And I found a very nice Lady who lives just at the other side of the border in Germany who sell also to Dutch costumers.
But...and here comes my question....the German Avon sell not every product available in the US!!! We also have our own brochures, but not the Mark magalog, the Living brochure and some fragrances I would love to buy but because they are not in the German range of products, they are out of reach....or I can only buy them for triple the brochure price on eBay...with outrageous shipping prices!!:( :( :(

So now is my question, is there an Avon Lady who would help me to get some products and booklets and is willing to ship to the Netherlands??? I could make my payments trough PayPal and shipping is also not a problem!!!

And I would love to hear about your opinion about the brand Avon!!
What are your favorite products???

Mine are for now:
- Anew Reversalist Day & Night cream
-Luxe lipstick and the tinted lipbalm from this line
- Luxe Eyeshadow
- True Colour eyeshadow palettes I have several of them! I like the numbers on the shadows!
- Planet Spa Heavenly Hydration Face Mask
- Planet Spa Carribean Escape Facial Cream
- Anew Clinical Infinite Lift dual Eye Cream
- Avon Care 3in1 Facial Cleanser
- Avon True NutraEffects Radiance daycream, and the tinted moisturiser with SPF20 
- Mark Shine Burst lipgloss
- Supreme Oils Shampoo and Conditioner plus the Leave In Duo Treatment spray
- I really LOVE!!!! The Avon Naturals Bodysprays in the smaller see trough spraybottles with the showergels and bodylotions in the same scent!
And my favorite is Cosy:

But I also have the set in Blushing and the handcreme of Cosy and Blushing, the bodyspray and handcreme of Delightfull and the bodyspray of Vibrant.

And I also really like the perfume Rare Pearls!

Off Topic / Did you already set up your Yule/Christmas Tree???
« on: November 20, 2016, 03:26:07 AM »
After visiting 2 Christmas decoration shows at 2 different garden centers...I decided to buy some tree deco in a beautifull dusky/vintage/salmon pink and a little bit of a burgundy hue and...GOLD!!! I never liked gold...not in decorations...or jewelry...clothing...you name it!!!
But last time I was experimenting with some make-up colors I normally won't wear, you already guess...with gold tones and a little burgandy...and....I reallly...really liked it how it looked! I have grey/green eyes, and normally I use more cool tones like grey/silver and purples...those colors make the grey tones pop! But with the gold tones...the green tones where coming out really nice!!! :blush: :blush: :blush:

So this year I couldn't resist to use those colors for my Yule/Christmas Tree!
I made a picture....I can't wait to see your decorations!!!

Pony Brag Arena / There is a New Boi in Tha Hood!!! ;)
« on: November 20, 2016, 01:21:24 AM »
Last week I spotted this handsome boy on eBay! But the week before I already got the  6 MOC Pony Wear sets...so  there is/was no more pony money for me until next year! But....I really...really wanted him...so I looked up everything what this seller had for auction...and he had a vintage children's sewing machine up....
So I BIN the sewing machine and won the auction for this pony!
I already did some research on the sewing machine and there where several up for sale on *the Dutch version of Craig's list+ for 25++ euro....so I put him up for sale for 25 euro and sold him for this price very quickly!
But....I paid for the pony AND the sewing machine including shipping less then 25 euro's!!
So basically I bought a pony...and I got money with him!!! :blush: :blush: :blush:
This is the handsome felllow: Steamer with his original bandana, in a great condition!

Arts & Crafts Corral / My FIRST MLP themed work of *Art*!
« on: January 25, 2016, 07:02:25 AM »
I bought this adorable G4 puzzle last week and I already had an idea in my head what to do with it when I finished the puzzle!

And this is the finished result:

I painted the canvas a pearly pink *but unfortunally I used a canvas a size to small...not for the puzzle but now you can't see much of my paintjob! ;)*
Then I glued the purple ribbon all around the puzzle and places satin rosebuds with crystals in the corners and to top it off, I made from the same ribbon and roses a hook to hang it up on the wall in my Pony Room when it is completely dry!

Pony Corral / I'm sad to see this.....
« on: September 25, 2015, 01:24:55 AM »
Here in The Netherlands we celebrate a holiday on December 5 for children called Sinterklaas. Every year around this time the big toys stores are giving out a bigger and thicker catalogue with all the new toys. And I was eagerly looking forward to this years catalogue of the storechain Intertoys for the My Little Pony section....
But I'm sad to see that there is only ONE page with ponies!!! And in my point of view very expensive and nothing really *new*.... There are not even ECG Dolls!!! Not even Monster High!! Only half a page of Fantasy Fillies..... :cry: :cry: :cry:

Does this mean that the end for G4 is near????? (Prices in the picture are in Euro's!)
