$161 Shiseido Sale Haul ;)

a round-up of what i've gotten. i was there ard 1015am i guess & the crowd was already so over-whelming. i went there with minimal makeup, jus only powdered face with black rimmed eyes & drawn brows dats all. besides, i was so sleepy & i was like so pale -,- the most crowded area was the shiseido/maquillage side. it was like so difficult to squeeze in jus to check out wad to grab.

anyway i dint reali go crazy coz i reali hauled too much prior dat -,- there were sooo many stuff to buy & it's so difficult to choose -,-

shiseido black cream liner. there were a few left only so i jus grab & go :p

another shiseido eye liner, brush tip. they only have soft black available. wad i like was there's additional refill ^^ so value-for-$ heez~

these ZA mascaras were like sooo damn cheap. no black color but i'd been wanting to try these colored ones sooo i was very happie dat i dint get them earlier :x

ettusais mascaras ^^

ettusais blusher & refill. orange & pink ^^

majolica majorca blusher & eyeshadow palettes freaking cheap !! cannot dont buy :p

maquillage lippie. a nude one recommended by the sales lady. gloss finish (:

ZA face powder. cheap. look gd. buy :D

most expensive of all. clea de peau translucent loose powder. this brand is high-end so it's worth it. i was checking out someone's blog & she bought so many of this -,-

my final awesome buy was the mirror & it was the LAST piece ! one side is normal, the other magnifies 5x.

so this is my shiseido sale haul. if i dint restrict myself, i could easily spend 3x more the amount, seriously. the sale was pretty gd imo ;D~

LOTD: Sweet Flirty in Nude.. and.. HAUL !!

there r days which u feel like having a 'simple clean' look.. not using bright colors jus using beige to 'pop' the eyes.. minimal use of face foundation.. yet the look is jus nice & glowy.. the lashes r enhanced using a wonderful waterproof black mascara to give a subtle sweet flirty look.. lastly a sweet light pink blush on the apples of the cheeks to complete the look (:

this is one of my HG mascaras - maybelline magnum volume express waterproof black !! it was love at first try hahas ! it defines & curls my lashes effortlessly.. brush once for natural black lashes, twice for a more volumized effect, thrice u get flirty black lashes jus like mine :p~ no need to use eyelash curler in fact.. it doesnt clump, no flakes, no smudges.. no need to worry even if u cry.. u wont get panda eyes :s fyi, i'm using za curl volume mascara on my lower lashes.. love this too ^^

umm.. my eye look rather 'poppy' eh.. =,= jus wanna show u the wonders of this HG mascara..

i use etude house eye glow pencil no.2 i tink.. pearlescent white to line my eyes for a brightening effect..

see, i dint use eyelash curler at all :D~ woo hoo !~

i'm using shimmer beige from poole palette.. dont tink it's available anymore.. a pity coz the color payoff is gd.. it jus glides on nicely (:

as for the brows, i'm using k-palette real lasting eyebrow 24h 01 (brown) & shu uemura eyebrow manicure 'tawny gold'..

chapped lips checked +_+ anyways, i use a lip plumping vit e lip balm frm sasa to soften my lips then maybelline watershine lipstick 203 (nude). pouty nudish lips i likeee ^^

some camwhoring loves :x

dont be bored eh >,<

self-confessed vainpot :p~

kays dat will be the end..

of my camwhore pics (:

here's a round-up pic of the stuff i used for this look (:

ooo i've rekindled my love for maybelline dream matte mousse foundation 'sand' !! i'm loving biore uv face milk as well, minus the funny smell :s both help mattify my skin well.. my face was glowy, minus the oily feel.. the za foundation 20 is used lightly to set the eye area only..

so do u like this look ?

i know it's nothing fantastic.. i'm not a professional mua.. jus a normal gal.. umm or should i say woman =,= sharing my undying love for makeup heez~

okok, now we shall proceed on to me(& my sis) HAUL ^^

yes, i went to the watsons preview sale at tampines mall.. reached at ard 7plus & the queue was freaking long !! all the way to guardian pharmacy liao.. frankly speaking, the sale wasnt as fantastic as i expected.. the saying goes, 'the higher ur expectations, the bigger ur disappointments'.. very true indeed.. anyways, i spent abt 30min queuing i tink.. quite ok.. coz i'm used to waiting =,=

and then, there was this woman in front of me, asking if i could 'chop' her place while she go ntuc buy some stuff.. i was like -_-" & told her it's impossible since it was sucha long queue & it wont be fair to others.. she gave me the 'dotdot' look :/ wadeva la..

i spent abt an hr searching for gd buys.. end up buying the most from majolica majorca.. 3 mascaras.. 1 is mine.. le violet lash enamel glamour volume on.. no discount for this.. mj skin lingerie pore cover.. i've been wanting to get this ^^ 20%+10% off.. with $60 purchase, i received a free exclusive mj pouch !! red & gold.. reminds me of cny >,<

the stuff i got only the mj skin lingerie pore cover got discount.. kiss me heroine make long & curl mascara black 01 & k-palette 0 teka oil control mat powder spf 15 pa+++ (natural beige) no discount de :/ anyways, can't wait to use them.. umm seriously i stil have like damn alot of unused stuff waiting for me to use >,<

and so, i wanted to get the 'worth up to $50' mystery goody bag with minimum spending of $120nett.. i tot i calculated correctly.. until the cashier told me $113 @_@ i quickly grabbed 3 eclipse mints to top up my purchase.. jus right.. 3 for $8 heez~

umm was kinda disappointed when i receive the goody bag.. i tink it's worth <$20.. see for urself.. :/

ginvera spa body milk.. ginvera tanaka white mask.. bio-essence samples.. confirm <$20 wad.. on a happier note, i like the body milk smell.. reali very niceee !!

last but not least, 2 new 'homes' for my makeup !! these r the smaller version of wad i've at home.. i have 4 big ones already but not enough to house my makeup.. if include skincare, perfume, nail polish.. i guess another 10 big ones will be jus fine ? hmm.. dats all for now ! thanks for reading (:

i've been hauling..

yes, i've been hauling.. ahhh so many sales coming up.. watsons.. benefit.. shiseido.. all within this week !! so many new products coming up somemore.. *FAINTS*

got this beaute de kose eye fantasist from purplio.. she included a o2 skin lavender mask, perfect for my recent troubled skin (: thx !!

online purchase from fatin eyelashwishh.. mac select foundation nw20.. she was nice to include gold shimmer powder & a lioele bb cream sample (: thx babe !!

tiny haul at causeway point.. damn far.. i stay east -,-

"sephora 10% storewide sale. receive a $10 voucher with purchase of $100 & above." the sms & email were highly misleading as i thought the 10% was a direct discount and on top of that, there is a $10 voucher.. but no, dats not the case -,- the 10% discount is equivalent to the $10 voucher.. *FAINTS*

well nvm.. at least i can add on to my sephora rewards programme.. i was $88 away from getting the $40 voucher.. however me & my sis spent slightly over $200 & i got 2x $10 voucher valid til end may & the $40 voucher.. so i'm $100+ away from my next $40 voucher.. i tink it's damn easy to spend $ at sephora -,- my top splurging stores are sephora, kinokuniya & watsons.. wads urs ?

stuff that i got were mac msf medium, mac blot powder medium dark, sephora powder brush 40, sephora powder puff..

the rest belong to my sis.. the sephora shimmer powders & hello kitty alchohol-free baby perfume.. very nice fragrance but not lasting since it's alcohol free (:

and so, initially i wanted to get the mufe all-matt & prolly the new hd blush.. but the mua jus literally ignored me with or without customers around !! i went there twice to check out the mufe products but she jus didnt bother to acknowledge my presence..

PISSED !! and finally, i decided i shall do without mufe :/ LOUSY attitude !!

do u love freebies/samples ? yes, i do :p redeemed with my cozycot card.. the mandom cleansing express 'brightening' is a new product.. this sample size retails for $3.95 at watsons.. anyways i've got 2 here coz 1 of them is my sister's (:

it doesnt look as orangey red as it seem.. i quite like this 19 drew wonderlust lipstick from stage.. it gives my lips slight reddish tint.. can layer on for more intense finish.. it's a freebie with purchase of bazaar mag.. only $5.. wads not to like ? heez~

keep hauling.. keep posting (:

LOTD-s: Emo Doll vs Sunshine Doll

jus two simple LOTDs with focus on eyes as usual ;p 1st look is towards the smoky dark side which reminds me of the word 'emo'.. well, doesnt matter much hahas !

ta dah !

fyi, i'm using etude house cute & sexy eyes #06 smokey for this look (:

this is reali value for $ i must say. the colors r well-pigmented.. great color pay off.. anyway, u can visit this website, koreabb for much lower prices (: There r other brands like Skin79, Skinfood, The Face Shop, etc. Ever since i bought from this website, i never buy from sg retail stores anymore.. coz the prices r ridiculously marked up !! eg. skinfood aloe bb cream $20.90 instead of $48 !! u can buy from m'sia etude house as well.. prices r generally lower bcoz of the currency rates.. even more worthwhile during sales :x

here r the swatches..

pigmented, yes ? ;D

so how do u find this look ? emo right :x hahas !

ok, next.. sunshine doll look..

for this look, basically i'm using body shop's shimmer cube, only the orangey color.. sephora liner electro marine & bobbi brown black gel liner.. falsies as well ;p

which look u prefer ? emo or sunshine ? (:

lastly, jus wanna show u the eye palette i used for the previous LOTD i did..

shu uemura eye shadow palette sunrise prism/ pressed eye shadow N/ turquoise lagoon, emerald dew, yellow glow (:

here r the swatches.. look chalky but they r not.. the colors r reali bright & pretty..

thanks for reading (:
