Paul & Joe Haul

My first official haul from Paul & Joe!

Lip Gloss N with Eye Color

Closer look

Eye Color in 10, a pink base with shimmers. Taken with flash.

Eye Color in 11, a yellow base. Taken with flash.

Swatches under flash.

Swatches under natural sun light. Pink eyeshadow on the left and yellow on the right. Lip gloss is a clear gloss with pink shimmers.

Top up with a Protective Dual Powder Foundation UV for the freebies =)

I love the casing. It's so pretty!

It has SPF 20 PA++ and the SA recommended color 20 for me. Oops, i forgot to swatch it.



Freebies! Clockwise from top left: Deep Cleansing Milk samples, a mini bottle of Cleansing Milk N, Creamy Compact Powder Foundation and Moisturising Foundation Primer samples. Not forgetting 2 pouches with the Summer Collection prints.

This sample looks interesting. It's a creamy foundation that turns to powder upon application.

I was a little worried it might clog my pores but the SA assured me it wouldn't.

The sample came with a mini sponge. Lovely!

MAC Haul

Walked into MAC to check out the Pret-A-Papier collection but it didn't interest me much. Anyhow, the SA managed to attract me with the promo, where you buy above $80, you'll be given a $10? voucher and a lipglass. =) i'm a sucker for this kind of promo.

Here's my haul!

From top, clockwise: Select Sheer/Loose; Lustre Lipstick (Cyndi Lauper); the freebie lipglass, Technakohl Liner; Paint Pot

Paint Pot in Delft. The SA recommended this shade as it's quite popular. I've not used any kind of shadow like this before except for a Stila one, many many years ago.

Under sunlight

With flash. Sorry, no swatch coz i don't wanna use my finger to dab it. >.<

Technakohl in Auto-De-Blu

Under sunlight

Select Sheer/Loose. Got this to use on top of my usual BB cream.

I'm a NC 15? This is what the SA recommended. I'm curious, how do they actually determine your skin color? Hmm...

When i took this out from the box, i was surprised with the Not For Sale sticker on it. I'm not sure why it's there but I definitely paid for this.

Cyndi Lauper next to the freebie lipglass. Happy family! ^^

Merry Christmas!

Hey all. Long time no post. Work has been holding me up and was busy doing Christmas shopping as well. Hehe. I jumped on the bandwagon and got the Esprique Precious Illuminate Fantasy Collection. =) It was retailing at S$48 at BHG Bugis, quite a good deal me thinks. I guess most of you must have seen the collection on other beauty blogs.

I got my mom a set of the Pleasures perfume from Estee Lauder. It came with a body lotion but I didn't take a picture of it. Also got my dad a perfume, he loves perfume. He can finish using a bottle in average 2 months time. There was a promotion at the Davidoff counter, a new perfume called 'Silver Shadow' or something like that retailing at S$69 for a 100ml bottle. The SA was kind enough to include these samples below for me. =)

From left, JLo Glow, JLo Deseo, CK Eternity

From left, CK In2u, JLo Live Luxe and JLo Live.

When I was going through my stuff, I found an unopened eyeshadow that I got from Etude House, Petit Darling Eyes in PK002 Snow Pink, maybe like a month ago. LOL, treasures I have that I don't know about. On the right is the Majolica Majorca Honey Pump Gloss in BE211.



The color looks yummy and it's discounted at S$6.90 from the original price of S$9.90.

However, the texture is quite thick and sticky. Nude with shimmers.

Without flash

Lovely packaging of the Etude House ES

It has four little hearts imprinted on it, can you see?

Swatch with flash

Without flash. You can't really see the pink color but in real life it's really nice.
Side tracking, a lovely little note book i bought from Forever Friends.
I'll be posting more later, about some GWPs i got from magazines. Stay tuned! =)
