* 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~

Silk Naturals Loot!

Long overdue! But better late than never.. 

Lalala~

Ok here's my SilkNaturals loot that I got just after CNY!

1 Ivory fdn sample in original, 1 Ivory fdn sample in medium, and more lippies + free e/s~

These are all sample blushers I got and 2 free e/s~~ *Smilex*

Moss is a e/s that comes free with purchase over $30! And since I've not much green e/s b4, I requested for 1! TGIF is a sampe e/s that comes free with every $10 purchase. So sweet of them right?? *Blinks*

Did I mention before I love SN blushers? Though I seldom put blushers, but just can't resist the temptation!

Samples I got frm SN as of now (am sure it will still grow Lolx)

Their blushers are so pretty! But i wish they had more matt blushers, shimmer/shiny ones doesn't really suit my face.. But, heck! Just buy~ I simply love how pretty the colours shows up when applied! But I seldom use as my face is pretty sensitive and red w/o blusher, and so if i do apply it'll be a super light handed kind wahaha..

IIRC, from L to R.. Precious(l/g), Maiden(l/g), Mirage(l/s), Foreplay(l/g)

No pic of it on my lips though.. PS. But i really adore how Precious and Foreplay shows up, especially Precious! Precious is a very light semi-sheer colour that lits me up whereas Foreplay gives me a kissable yummy lip colour. For Mirage, it'll be great to go with smokey eyes but not if I want to use it as a base for colour. Maiden is something I gotten previously, used to like it though it runs a little darker than I like. But now, definitely Precious or Foreplay over Maiden.

Last but not least, I even received a lippie sample. Didn't know they still have it as I thought they stopped having them..

It's pretty. But, doubt I will ever use it. Colour is too loud to my liking! =X

Ohh n btw, talking about Silknaturals, I went to mix my foundation just recently again! 

 

On the L, my new mix, R, my old mix.

Though this time is better, But I still think it's a little darker than my neck area.. 

Hmm, shall try another round real soon! Wahahah~

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..

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~~~
