* Loots & more loots *

OKAY finally I've managed to upload my recent loots and now I'm back to blog!!

BEWARE: It's a MAD long post, loaded with mountains of pictures! <3

So I've been buying quite a bit recently, but I'm trying to control! wahahah.. 

Now let me start with blushers. Thanks to my KAL Xiao Han aka Ah Hiao, I got 2 blushers @ $20 from a website!

They are so lovely! But sadly, i doubt they can be used as a blusher.. More for highlighter(though I suck at it) i guess.. Nevertheless, just looking at it makes me feel so sweet. :)

Then I got my first counter brand fdn, Lunasol! Went for a makeover by Lunasol MA at Orchard Takshimaya and the MA reccommended me OC-01. Just when I wanted to get OC-01 LF, the staff says they are OOS! Damn sad, so i wanted to opt for cream fdn, OOS too! *itchy heart* No choice I had to end up with their 2way fdn.

Seems alot right? But actually is just a 2-way fdn for myself and a e/s for Lyn.. 

And there's the M'sia trip with  2 of my KAL khakis, Ah hiao and Samantha aka Dua Tao to go in shop shop shop~

We went in Sunday early noon and out at ard 6pm, heng traffic was smooth like running tap water! wahahah

This is what happens when dua tao and ah hiao sees nail polish.. Shiny ttm! wahaha

That's my loots of the day. 1 set of Mavala and Etude hse fdn brush for Lyn aka Moleyher(wah ur nick best!) And Dua Tao gave me the mascara free! Wee so happy~

Continuing my recent loots, I must not forget SilkNaturals!! Simply love love them, afforadably cheap and good.

 

 Combined purchase with Moleyher and Adeline aka MM.

These are blusher swatches ok! Hhahaha i post on twitter and so many of them thought they are cane marks.. different colours and so evenly caned sia..  And b4 i forget what are the shades, I took a pic of it!

 

And there's my lippies from SN thus far~

So are still BN, and i'm trying to stop myself from using.. Must finish the other up first (hopefully) =P

And more non SN loots~

Heard many cotters say the water base cleanser is a really effective and good MU remover. Hence itchy me rushed down to Watson, wanted miniature but only saw the dry skin ones, so ended up with a full sized wahaha..

Another Watson trip, feeling damn depressed and went to buy the slimming leg lotion.

Perfume loots from Chinatown.. Their perfumes are really cheap, so I went on to help my friends CP and I got myself a Paul Smith Rose & miniature Versace Bright Crystal.

L'officiel March issue and gwp.

Why I have 2 gwp? It's a complicated story. All I can say is a mishandle-ing and can issue solved with a token of sincerity. =D

 

My purchase yesterday. Desperately need a good exfoliation to see dead skins as my clinique step2 don't seem to make my skin feel "fresh".. Oh and the Missha BB cream is bought over from Yiling, $14 only! Thankew~

Yay coming to an end for this post finally! *Clicks Publish Post* 

Ciao~

Nature Republic Blusher

Nature Republic Blusher Shine Blossom in #2 (light peachy coral)

My newest purchase in the cosmetics section! Got it the day i went to get my iPhone! It was having a 20% disc, U.P @ $13.90 or $14.90 IIRC.

Actually I got it because I was attracted to the fluffy puff.. *hides*

Cause.. I've never had any blusher with fluffy puff before! Mine are mainly loose pigments or compressed 1 that uses brush to apply.. So this got me just all so tempted, plus it's a new korean brand and with disc! 

hahaha.. ok so here's how it looks like..

Anyone heard of this brand before? It's Nature Republic, a korean brand, but the web is all in korean language, can't understand anything at all.. =(

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~~~

Time to update again!

PS: Sorry for late post though the sale is over, just wanna share..
And again i went to a SALE!! This time round it's the Shiseido sale held at Orchard Building.. Brands includes ZA, Ettusais, Shiseido, Majolica Majorca, and etc..

Overall it's really quite worth it.. examples they had..
MM automatic eyeliner, blusher, lippies going at 3 for $15,
ZA lipsticks $3,
Ettusais Mascara each @ $12,
Biotera Shampoo and conditioner 2 for $10,
and of cos.. mani mani MORE!!!

The venue was really quite packed though.. you get to see ladies and even guys crowding around, trying to squeeze their way in to see cosmetics, and people swapping "place" to see other items.. These are all alright, the scary part is when you see hands coming from all angles trying to grab a sample/tester.. Imagine all crowding around hands everywhere you see.. beside your waist, over your shoulder, across your chest and everywhere.. But, it's SALES!! of cos ppl will kanchiong.. hahaha

Anyway here's my haul of that day..

Bought Biotera Shampoo & Conditioner, ZA l/s, MM face&body gitters, blusher as well as eyeliner!! Total damage $34 (I'm so excited!!!)

EDM Samples~~~~

Yes! I managed to get my hands on Everydayminerals..

This is the EDM foundation sample kit in Medium

Samples

Top (L to R): Fawn, Multi-intensive

Bottom (L to R): Beige Neutral, Dusty Miller and New Car Smell

Haven really gotten around to try them all.. A brief review on what i tried

Basically, Fawn is a golden-based foundation which looks kinda yellow in the container but turns out rather well on my skin.. Able to blend and cover my scar to a certain level.. On photos, i appear to have a reasonably good skin *Thumbs Up*

Dusty Miller is like a face radiant enhancer, kinda similar to Benefit Dandelion? Doubt i can use it as a overall thingy, but it works great as a highlighter, enhancing my cheeks whereas I use the Benefit as a blusher instead.. =)

New Car Smell appears somewhat orangey though.. Have to be careful not to over-apply it (happens often.. am still a noob) lolx..

Multi Intensive Concealer is great for covering my panda eyes.. Not completely though, but then again i have heavy eyebags.. So might be because of that i can't see very absolute results..  It's good for covering blemishes and red spots as well.. But seldom use it as I'm too lazy.. wahahah

The others are mainly all base foundation sample.. Seems nowhere near my shade though.. Kinda pity..

Th base foundation that i used is Golden Fawn in Matt formula.. Keeps shine awhile reasonably well, and when my makeup feels cakey, somehow after spraying mist, it can patch back.. confusing right..

Okay, next time when i do my order i shall give their lippies a try!

The next time i order, shall try their lippies!!!!

Till then.. =)
