* 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~

Revlon ColorStay Foundation Review..

Okay time to review.. Hahah but pls note that my review is based after using it for ONLY 2 DAYS. =P

So, after 2 days, my review of this fdn is ALL Positive, at least majority of it is.. =D


Shade, Nude. Thought it would be too pinky or dark for me since it is pink-based. But I would say the shade is a pretty good match for me, but not the exact though.. Noticed this morning before applying loose powder that it's a little dark for me.. Probably a little lighter would be more accurate.. Luckily, my LP managed to help me lighten it a little, making it not too bad.. =) 

Oil control is actually real good! When I reached home yesterday, I took a look at myself in the mirror. No shine-ing face, it's almost a full day from 9a.m to 7p.m! Though I'm using other pdts to help control oil as well.. But usually I still end up with some shine on my nose.. 

Coverage-wise, it's awesome as well! Hee.. Usually I will use bb cream as base/concealer before putting on fdn, with this, I can spread a layer and then layer on a little and it is enough to cover my redness and dark spots! Of course under-eye circles not included lar.. Hahahaha.. 

So here's my conclusion/review of the Revlon ColorStay Fdn.

+ Good match after applying LP( Not the best though)
+ Coverage is Medium to Full (layer on and it's Full coverage)
+ Oil control is superb
+ No cakey
+ No touchup needed (I'm a lazy person)
+ Oxidisation is very little


- Bottle design is not user-friendly
- Dries a little faster than normal foundation (Have to spread fast & well)
- Fdn feels a little thick
- Price a little ex (I mean the usual price)
- Limited shades available in Singapore. 


Hmm, that's about all for now. Guess I shall really give Buff/Ivory a try.. *LEMMINGS*

SHILLS Magical Hair Fully Powder

Opened my mailbox and saw my shills inside!

It's actually quite a small bottle, but lucky i bought it off ebay at less than $10.. And it's so cute!

Not sure if it really works not.. Should apply on wet, semi-dry or fully dry hair? Hmm.. k off to google more about it.. 

SHILLS Magical Hair Fully Powder!

Revlon ColorStay Foundation in Nude!



I finally got my hands on it!

Lolx.. Have been contemplating whether to get it from online drugstore spree for this fdn in buff.. But is always eye-power only.. So yest, finally i went to JL and bought it at 20% + 10% disc off regular price.. think less than $20? Quite a good deal i would say, minus all the shipping and waiting.. 

Was about to get sand beige, then instead I went to ask whether Nude or Sand Beige is lighter.. SA recommended me Nude, so I took the risk and got Nude! 

Applied this morning, so far so good! I would say the coverage is considered medium to almost full coverage, and the shade match me surprisingly al right(according to my colleague). Seems better than my clinique SuperFit because it's easier to spread.. SF feels drier..

Shall wait till tonight and review more tmr.. Hopefully is a positive 1!

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.. =(
