NZFW Goodies

I watched a few shows during NZ Fashion week but I only managed to get a goodie bag during the Resene Designer Selection Show. The photos from that is coming in a few days but to break up all NZFW runway photos, I thought I’d post a haul of my NZFW goodies.

The Resene Designer Selection show was basically on every day during NZFW and it features a bunch of designers and a few clothes from their collections. I wasn’t able to get in backstage which pissed me off so I watched the show in front row instead. Also in spite, I got two goodie bags!

So if you’re like me who’s always interested on what’s inside goodie bags at events then check out the rest of this post.

There’s also a random yoyo from TOMS. I don’t really know if I’m going to use these vouchers but they’re always in them.

I tried the craisins and I absolutely hate them. I hate raisins anyway and the craisins aren’t any better if not worse in my opinion. The Extra gum were the best in the edible category. Haha

I also love the Toni & Guy sea salt spray. I style my hair in natural waves so I use sea salt spray regularly. I’m excited to try this one and I got three in total as one goodie bag had two of them. Score!

I was also surprised to get a Maybelline NY Master Smoky eyeliner. I’ll definitely give it a go and I might give the other one to my sister.

Besides the Toni & Guy sea salt spray, these were my favourites. They may be just pads and tampons but buying a pack are expensive so getting a bunch for free is great. Each pouch has a few of the regular and super pads and liners. We need these every month so getting them in a goodie bag is always nice for me.

Overall, I can’t really complain. Who doesn’t like free stuff? I surely do but I didn’t go to NZFW just for that. It’s a nice bonus especially after all the exhaustion and stress from fashion week. This was like a small reward.


I hope you liked this random post. I’m always curious to know what’s inside these things and I finally got my hands on one. I also read somewhere that people shouldn’t write about goodie bags but I don’t really care because I like reading about these myself. If you want to know what the NZFW VIPs got in theirs, check out shaaanxo’s vlogs. I saw her a few times during NZFW but I never went up to say hello. I’m too awkward for that. Haha

Anyway, that’s all I have for today. I have a few more NZFW posts lined up so check back in the next few days. I hope you have a great weekend!

    Awesome post!! I love getting drinks and snacks in goodie bags, and I also love all the beauty goodies included! And I totally agree, I absolutely love getting pads and tampon “samples” because I think they’re such a boring thing to spend money on.

    Man, they are awesome! I would be super stoked to see pads/tampons in a goodie bag haha. Every time I go to buy them/face wash/body wash at a supermarket my “budget” gets blown completely out of the water. EVERY TIME. I really liked the short time that I was at NZFW. I’m actually considering applying to volunteer next year!
