I'm back!

Hey all.. I'm finally back. Wanted to share my haul at Sasa recently. Silk Whitia masks going for $1.95 each. Usual price is $5.90. Have not tried this brand before but read some reviews that it's quite good?

Got some elf liquid eyeliners which was a really good deal. Usually each product cost $6.90 but now it's buy 2 for $9.90. I think these liquid eyeliners are really worth it. I didn't get to test it though and have not opened them. Shall post a swatch about them some time.


With any purchase at Sasa I am also entitled to buy the mini version of the Make Up Remover Eye & Lip from Maybelline. Here's a photo of it compared to the regular size. This is a really good eye makeup remover especially for Maybelline mascaras.

Saw this recycled Christmas tree at Bugis Junction, which has been decorated with hearts for Valentine's Day. So frugal huh? I think the tree is a bit cheesy though..haha


Have not celebrated Valentine's for the past 2 years..Boo.

Watsons

Picked up a Watsons brochure for Christmas and these are some of the pics:

Some Hello Kitty goodies. Look so kawaii!

Will be posting up some beauty related stuff this weekend. Can't wait!

Review of Fairy Drops & Maybelline Volume Express

Happy Belated Halloween!

Sorry a day late to wish you all. Anyway, hope you all had an enjoyable night last night. As for me, i have been bitten by the flu bug. So, had to stay at home to nurse my flu away. Seems like i am always falling sick lately.

Moving on to something i did today, had time on my hands and utilized it to do a review of Fairy Drops against Maybelline Volume Express.

Fairy Drops on the left and Maybelline VE on the right. (I just found out that FD is under Mandom)



The description on FD cover



The unique wand (this reminds me about Rimmel's mascara)



Maybelline VE wand



My bare naked eyelash


I don't use any primer or curler before applying the mascara. Here are the results:

As you can see, FD doesn't really lengthen the lashes as much as VE.



Side View
Both don't really curl the lashes too. However, if used with curler, it should give a good result.


Top View

VE is so obviously longer than FD.


Front view

With this review done, i can definitely say that Maybelline Volume Express gives good volume and lengthening effects. FD is not that clumpy as compared to VE. This can always be solved with a lash comb. Both are are not that easy to remove maybe because of my lousy eye makeup remover (from Missha). Anyone can recommend a good one to me?

All in all, i love both mascaras eventhough FD fall short of my expectation. I still like it because of the pink packaging. Haha! I've been using VE for a while now and am loving it. I do have other mascaras like Lancome, Sasa and Rimmel which i don't find as good as VE. I have a new one from Body Shop which i have yet to open. It's blue! Shall do a review on it some day. Hope you guys find this review helpful.

Update: I just saw the tube of VE, it states 'Hypercurl' but it didn't really curled my lashes that well.

Never Ending Haul

Happy Deepavali! Before the weekend started, i've already bought some stuff which i kinda regretted. Anyway, the damage has been done, sadly. I was passing by Raffles Place at Chevron House when i chanced upon the Lancaster roadshow. It reminded me about the SMS that i received about the goodies bag. So, i went over to ask about it and as always, it's already fully redeemed. =( I was going to leave when i saw the Retinology was on display there. To make a long story short, i went away with a bag filled with Lancaster stuff.


I had a sample of this product previously from a magazine freebie. It was quite good as my skin looks smoother and brighter with continuous use of the product. It states that it lifts your face, making it look younger. I don't feel that though. The one i bought is 30ml which is quite ok considering you only need less than a pea size of it per application. Let's hope it will justify its price, $138! To me, it's quite pricey. I got some freebies though.


Also dropped by Watsons to look around and they were having a promo. Buy any 1 box of their in-house mask, get 2 pieces of masks free. I bought the Bird Nest one and got the Rose Water& Chamomile for free.


Had been wanting to get a red color lipstick for awhile now, and thought this Maybelline one looks ok.


Swatch - not very nice boo


Other random stuff i picked up.


Today, went to Orchard to meet my mom after her work and got some magazines from Prologue, a book shop in Ion. Wanted to get them coz of the GWP! Read about this from Haru's blog.


Elle had 3 freebies - The Body Shop Love Etc EDP 2ml, a pouch and a Biotherm White D-tox Nuit. Super worthy! Amica came with one i nouvi Liptreat. This is not bad too.


After reading so much about Etude House, i finally know where to find it in Singapore. The place is really quite hard to find if you are not familiar with Orchard area. It's located near to the MRT exit to CK Tang from Ion. Today they had a free mask for every person who walked into their store, i think even without purchase.

These are some stuff i got:

O2 White Mask Sheet is the freebie, while i got the Pomegranate mask, a couple of nail polish and a pink eyeshadow. The eyeshadow is really shimmery. Forgot to do a swatch though. Hehe..


Ending my post with a NOTD:

Gold Shimmer from Majolica Majorca

I think my post seems a little advertorial today. Haha..but no worries, it is not. I am simply a girl who cannot control the shopaholic inside her. I wish i was more of a 'save-aholic'!
