World of GWPs

Sorry for the delay in posting. Had a terrible Christmas eve =p I was supposed to return to M'sia on eve night but the Causeway was super jam packed! I had to u-turn and the whole journey took me 4 hours just to get from Bugis to Woodlands and back to Bugis. Boo! Anyway, I'm safely home now in M'sia.

Moving on to the magazines GWPs that i mentioned in previous post. Here they are!

Cleo magazine came with 3 masks


Chic magazine came with a Julie Hewett lip balm.


The color looks orange but it's colorless when applied


L'Officiel came with a miniature fragrance from Lulu Catagnette and a mobile phone charm.

Cute bottle but so-so smell.


Nonno with Suzy's Zoo fluffy pouch.


Spring with Hello Kitty make up bag! <3

I did some hauling at home here in M'sia. Shall try to post it soon. Enjoy Boxing Day sales if there is any at your place. =)

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.

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! =)

Eye shadows, from top Enchantress Eye Shadow, bottom two are Symphony Eye Shadows.


SES in a black shimmery color. It looks like a dark brown, but the SA said it's black.

The ingredients



Some nail polishes:

The color is clearer under camera flash, olive green on the left and shimmery beige on the right.

Sorry I have not done any swatches of them yet. I'll try to use them this week and take some photos for your viewing pleasure. =) My total purchase for all these stuff came to around S$ 20, which is cheap!

On a side note, my colleague helped me to buy this Absolut Vodka Raspberry from the airport for only S$26.10! Of course i won't be drinking this alone, it's actually meant for pre-Zoukout. =D
My cousin came to Singapore from Australia and brought me these handmade Christmas cookies.

Look at the broken snowman =( These are all made by her. You can go check out her website.

Some Tim Tam and chocolates. Yummylicious!

FOTD, Mask Review and Eveything in Between

Aloha! Here's a FOTD i did one day some time last week for work.


The palette i used is the Majolica Majorca Majolook (Luminoustic) BR799.


I had some free time and was bored out of my mind, so surfed some YouTube videos for Bow Tie Hair Bun tutorial. I don't remember which one i refered to but here's the pic of my first try.

It's a little messy but looks ok. Would want to tie this one day and actually going out with it. Haha..


A simple EOTD for Sunday, only used eyeliners and mascara.



Lastly, review of Skinlite face mask that I got from Sasa.
Skinlite Royal Jelly Essence Mask


Its statement on the back of the pack.

The ingredients:

Here's the excess essence that I poured out from the pack for future use. So much!
The mask has a peculiar scent to it. It smelled a little bit like bubble gum. After application, the essence absorbed nicely into my face, without leaving any sticky residue that you tend to have with some other masks. However, a day or 2 after using this mask, I noticed some break outs on my face. I am wondering if the break outs are caused by the mask or it's due to my PMS. Hmm.. Anyway, I still have a couple more of this mask in different ingredients. Will do a follow up review about this. Also, it's very affordable at $1.95 per piece (buy 2 get 1 free). When i was at Sasa buying the mask and was leaving the store, i overheard a lady walking in saying that she'd want to get some Skinlite masks because Sasa is the only one carrying it! Seems like Skinlite has some fans here in Singapore. =)
