Avene Loots~

Yes, I bought pdts from Avene yesterday!

Supposedly ALL Avene pdts can be used for sensitive skin, but say if your skin is hypersensitive like how my skin is feeling recently, the above series would be the more ideal 1.

Went cwp with Yus yesterday after work, wanting to get their Anti Shine Lotion. Went in to JL, but the SA there makes me feel she's so bitchy that after asking her a lot of questions, I turned and walked away without buying anything, Hahah.. was feeling mean and evil yesterday.. 

Extremely Gentle Cleanser and the Skin Recovery Cream

Then I went to try Metro, and the SA there is so nice and kind that I got sweet talked into buying the above pdts(bundle of $49) instead of what I wanted initially! Lolx.. But the SA is really *thumbs up*, very polite and patient when explaining all my queries and nicely recommending the pdts to me. She even offered to gave me samples.. (JL SA don't even want to give when I tried to ask) Wanted the Diacneal initially, but SA say don't have so she offered other pdts instead.. So thoughtful right!

Samples: Skin Recovery Cream, Cleanance Anti-Shine Lotion, Cleanance K Skincare, Cleanance Toner

And! I also bought their Avene Thermal Water Spray($20.30 for 2). Lolx, shared the purchase with Yus cause she wanted to get but only needs 1.

Total Damage?? About $70+, but i paid $60 in total cause share Spray purchase.

Feeling Happy yet kinda scared I'll regret my purchase.. Tried the cleanser this morning.. No foam feels so weird.. lolx.. Toner is pretty alright, moisturiser can't really comment yet.. Have to see monitor a few more days i guess.. 

Silk Naturals - Perfect Harmony Sample Kit

OKay! After days, weeks and months of dragging I finally got around to do a post up on how i use their Perfect Harmony Kit.

Includes:

1 Teaspoon of Ivory

1/2 Teaspoon Of Different Base, Warm Gold, Buttery Gold, Olive and Ebony

10g Jar for mixing

1 Measuring Scoop

1 Flocked Sponge

Sample sachet of finishing powder and a eye colour

Instruction Sheet(Lost somewhere.. Lolx)

I choose Buttery Gold & Ivory.. *Tips: see their website for more description on each different base*

Scoop 1 spoonful of Buttery Gold into the mixing jar..

Then time to add in Ivory..

Depending on your skin tone.. You might want to add 3 or 4 spoonful to mix first to try out, and increase the number of spoonful as you deem fit.. *Tips: Search their forums, lots of advise for different skin tones*

Then start mixing..

You'll see something like that.. *PS, i added about 8 spoonful of Ivory lolx*

End pdt.. *Not the best match as it seems duller than my previous 1.. shall twit the base a little.. hahah..

Anyway I did a comparison between my previous recipe and I think the previous 1 is a closer match..

*Tips: Always remember the number of spoonful and base used!*

So that's how I did my mix for Silk Naturals Foundation~

Pros:

Fun to mix around

Get perfect match(eventually)

Does not cakes up on my face

Medium Coverage

Cheap & Affordable

Cons:

Might not get the perfect match at first try

Not fully matt

Guess I need to order more to play around with different recipes!! Hahah..

Heated Eyelash Curler & Maybelline Eyes & Lips Makeup Remover

Okay, time to post up my Eyecurl Heated eyelash curler aka bdae present! hahaha

Yea, this is the one i got from Sasa

@ the price of $15.90 (sad-ed no disc during that time)

It works really well for me.. keeps my eyelashes curled almost for the whole day.. Forgot to take pic of it yesterday.. will do that tmr if i can.. (eyelids swollen.. super suay!)

Once I have the pic of my eyelashes up, will post up a review soon! Hee..

Oh, and I got this!

Maybelline Eyes & Lips Makeup Remover, $1.95 for a small bottle.. =)

So far have only tried it with Maybelline Mascara, so all's easy to remove.. Shall try it with the SANA.. again tmr! hahaha

Stay tuned~~

Kiss Me Heroine Volume & Curl Mascara

I FORGOT!!

Oh girl~ How can I forget to post up on my latest purchase online??

STM... Must be.. hahahah

Kiss Me Heroine Volume & Curl Mascara

So cute right.. the comic character on the packaging.. Bought it kinda on impulse after seeing raves and raves for this pdt/brand.. At first look, I probably woudn't even consider getting it.. But.. reviews from cotters and online shows that it's a very popular and highly raved item.. Though now the current raves are the Fairy Drops Mascara.. No impulse to purchase yet.. And it more costly..

Can you believe it? I bought it only at @ the price of 6USD, through ebay with free postage!

Hee..

Volume and Curl! That's sounds like something I need.. Especially the CURL part..

But, I'm not likely to use it YET, cause I've just opened my tube of SANA Mascara..

I think I really like to see my makeup collection grow each day... hahh =x (bad habit must change!)

Ok O.T a little.. Shall be posting up a review of the SANA Extra Large Mascara and Heated Curler I gotten recently! 

Stay tuned!

Help needed!!!

Ladies, I'm lemming for a WIG!!!

Anyone has any recommendations for me? I wanna get a full long hair wig kind.. mayb a little wavy at the ends..

Please leave me a comment/tag if you can...

Avene Emulsion - Anti Shine Regulating Lotion

Looks big right? It's actually just a 5ml sample tube.. Heee...

Have been using this product for about a week plus.. So far, i'm loving it each day! Hahah.. Initially I thought it was like a oil control serum or something, turns out it's a moisturiser actually. Ok so here's my review..

Pros:

Suitable for even sensitive skin

Great oil-controlling anti shine

A little each time, goes a longgg way

Easy to spread or pat

Fast absorption

Able to use with makeup

Cons

It's a sample size.. (i'm still using it though)

Little costly

Can be a little drying if over-apply

Overall: 8.5/10

Lolx.. basically everything is great, a little dot is enough for each cheek.. Just like this..*see below*

Only bad point is the price is a little costly for me.. Selling at the price of $30~$40... Hmm but I know that TTSH is selling it for $30.90(?)

So tempting! Oh well.. till I get my pay first...

Where's my bonus!!!!???

It's Grey~~

I bought tinted contact lens!!

It's GREY!!

Thanks to Deb, i managed to get this pair of contact lens at the price of $12 + $1.50(mail).. Got compliments today~ 1 of my colleague was saying she keep looking at my eyes.. Hahah but am still not sure whether it suits me not..

lens in the casing i just bought..


close-up of the lens..

Maybeline Gel Liner~

I bought Maybelline Gel Liner yesterday!

Hahah.. finally succumbed to temptations.. U.P $19.90 , disc 20% @ JL.. Bought it with disc and my points, paid $10.90 for it! That's like almost a 50% off.. ^-^

And it comes with a eyeliner brush, it's so PRETTY & brush is really soft!

The colour is pretty intense as well.. Did a swatch on my hand with different thickness..



Shall test it out tonight at my colleague's wedding dinner to see how lasting and smudge-proof it is!!

Okay eyeliner aside.. I found my long-lost SANA Mascara and Shiseido mask and soap~~

Bought it like.. last year?? then somehow it got lost in space and finally after my "intensive search", it resurfaced! <3

Bought them during a spree last yr and when my colleague saw it she was raving away how good it is and even joined in the spree order with me.. It's like so good a deal at $6.90(?) when U.P is $20+.. They wanted 10 each(crazy right?), then after persuading them, they reduced to 5 each.. Then Yus and Me only bought 1 each..

And last but not least, a surprise findings.. a earring(?) that I bought last time.. was meant to give my friend.. somehow end up till now it's still with me.. probably should just use it myself..? Lolx..

Hahah ok shall stop here today.. PS my updates always seems to be one whole chunk by chunk.. lalala~~

New Purchases & some in 2009 *missed out*

Yea, just as how the title shows... I have new items to share!!!

Yipee~~~

I bought FANCL pdts again.. like finally.. after a year or two later, simply cause it's a tad too expensive for me to own them as they are all preservative-free, hence the lifespan of the pdt are relatively short..

Like for example, their Mild Cleansing Oil(MCO) is able to last 1 yr from expiry when un-opened, and 120days after opening. Usually I'll just continue to use.. But $33 is really ex for me.. So i switched to Biore Cleansing Oil($15.90) instead..

BUT, this time round I managed to get the items on a promotional price! My dance friend is working for the company so there's staff disc and etc.. Total damage for 3 bottles of washing powder and 2 small bottle of mco is only $39!! YEAShhh ^-^

The limited edition bottle is just so pretty!!!

Okay and now's the purchase I done last year?? There's the Missha Silky Soft Foundation in shade 13, bought it on impulse thinking it should be good like their highly raved bb cream.. Kinda regretted so much man.. Used only once but I think it doesn't like oily combi skin.. Should I sell it? Anyone keen on buying from me?? Lolx.. I think so.. can't remember the exact date.. But anyway, I've been wanting to buy TFS Professional Green Makeup Base($16+) so much that I went around different outlets to ask for them.. Finally I bought it! But ironically, till now I haven't even swatched the pdt on my hand before.. *faints*

Okay after all the regrets, Now I have the samples to test before making my impulse purchase again.. Avene samples.. 2 of which I got it during a sale I think.. It's free of course.. But haven't used it.. The last one is Clearance emulsion like a moisturiser that I just got yesterday, thanks to my friend, Yus! *thankew*

So here's the "family photos" for my today's loots~~

Last but not least.. I got this small bottle of eye drops recently for contact lens wearer.. My left eye seems to be giving me problem nowadays.. Hopefully this helps soothes my eyes...

CIAO~~~

PS: I wonder who would remember me in 13 days time.. hahaha

New Lemming~~~~

I got new lemmings~~

 My latest is SASA Creamy Makeup Base!!

Saw from a thread @ cozycot that it's even better than Korres and Maybelline Makeup Base... Spreads easy, covers pores and controls oil well.. Everything that I'm looking for!

I'm so sad-ed that I missed my chance to grab it at disc of 20% +5% off U.P of $15.90 ... Hmm.. Guess I shall wait for a while more since I'm not exactly in a hurry to get it.. Still have my Maybelline to stall for time.. *Promotion faster come* ^-^

Anyway, did a search and so here's the link for my latest lemming!

Update b4 my new purchase in 2010!!

It's 2010!!! 

B4 I start to buy any more cosmetics and skincare pdts... I shall update what I had gotten since my last update here!! Do bear with me bcos it's gonna be a super long entry!

I got my Silk Naturals Mini Hauls!!! Haha.. it's really a mini haul compared to others.. Bought some lippies and foundation sample kits to try out =)

Pdts shown above: Maiden (l/g), XXX (l/s), Bloom (l/g), Tailfeather (e/s free), Flair (blush), Charming (blush), Babydoll (blush), Perfect Harmony Sample Kit (foundation)

Bought for 25+ Usd.. quite worth it I guess.. Other than the Tailfeather e/s which I got it free, they've kindly included another e/s and l/p sample in my foundation kit!!!

Went to do a comparison on the 3 lippies.. here's the swatch!

Bloom is a really pretty colour.. Thought it might be those very bright pink gloss but turns out it actually brightens my lips a little and give it a really nice slightly sheer glossy look to it..

As for maiden, I can't really comment much though.. It's a real nude lip colour for me.. Almost exactly the shade of my lips.. guess it's good for everyday work though.. =)

XXX is a great l/s in my opinion.. Only that I have to be careful not to over apply it as it feels a little drying and will have a little wash out look.. But with brush application, it's awesome!

At times when I want a natural light nude pinkish lips I will use xxx as base and a little bloom on top, and I'll have the innocent nude-ish pink lips!! Yipee~~

Went to play around the Perfect Harmony Kit and did a little comparison with my other fdn pdts... Got my formula of Buttery Gold: Warm Gold: Ivory in 1:0.5:13 . But I think it's not a perfect one yet.. probably shall try the next time using just pure Buttery Gold and Ivory.. hee..

Opps I forgot to mention.. Clinique Superfit in 61, Missha Lightest (cant remember name), Silknaturals mix and EDM in Fawn.

Here's my Clinique Superfit in 61, my SO bought it for me at Bishan J8 BHG for $50! *thanks* The SA there is very kind and when I asked her to help me try put it on my full face before purchase, she gladly did it for me! So nice of her...

Last but not least I bought my first full size moisturiser!! In the past I've been using samples and miniatures, never a full size before.. incredible? Heh...

L'Oreal Derma Genesis Gel moisturiser..

Tried the sample before buying it.. It's on 20% disc @ Metro Causeway point when I bought it, usual priced @ $29.90.. On sale till 3rd Jan?? Helps minimise pores and keeps my skin relatively well moisturised. Quick absorption and no sticky feeling after application.. I use it day, and more importantly at night as I feel it really keeps my face hydrated through the night I use 1 pump for my face and another pump for my neck(start protection early!)..

So that's ALL FOR THE TIME BEING!! YEAHhhh~~~
