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'!

EOTN

This is a look i did for a night out last week. The pallete i used is Givenchy Eyeshadow Quarter in Black Denim which i bought from Pris' blog sale. I can't remember which mascara i used >.<
A close up look. I was using the eyeliner from MAC, Powerpoint eye pencil in Teal. I like this color a lot! My bff commented that teal doesn't really match my purple lenses but i think it's Ok.



This is me then.. =)

Sorry for the short post, am really busy this whole week due to work =( boo...but I'm happy the weekend is near as I don't need to work this Saturday! It's the Diwali festival here in Singapore. I shall find time to blog this weekend, I promise =)

NOTD & Esprique Precious

Oh..the weekend passes by so quickly. It's already Sunday night, tomorrow is a new working week. I am dreading it =p I was at BHG Bugis yesterday and they were having the bi-annual super sale. Almost everything was on sale and you get rebate vouchers for cosmetic and fragrance products buys. I so wanted to get something but unfortunately was short on time as i was catching a movie.

Anyway, i managed to go back today to satisfy the shopaholic in me. =D

At first, i wanted to get the Coffret D'or eye makeup pallete but the SA is totally unfriendly. I moved over to the Kose counter and the SA at least spoke to me in a decent manner. Wonder what's up with these SAs in BHG? I bought the Esprique Precious pallete in T-5 and also some Bourjois products. Bourjois SA is so much better!

Here are my hauls:

I asked the SA to recommend me some colours for daily look and she said T-5 should be good. It is also a limited edition colour. I asked her to demo it on my eyes but she can't do so as it was the sales period. She did ask me to go back after the sales so she could do it for me. Not bad!

I got a blusher and 2 mini nail polish from Bourjois . The mini items are too cute to resist. I have been eying these for some time now. Finally got it.

Left to right: Blush in 15 Rose Eclat, mini polish in 15 Breakfast a Londres (a pale beige with shimmers) and 38 Diner a Paris (a dark brown with shimmers).

The blusher came with a brush inside.Swatch. Isn't it pretty?

My NOTD. It's a bit pale don't you think? This is after 2 coats.
I added some crystals to add some pizazz to it. =)
Sorry about the crooked nail. Have broken it some time ago and waiting for it to grow back.
Happy new week and cheers~

Purchase from Pris' Blog Sale

Hi~ I received the stuff i bought from Pris' blog sale this morning. SO happy! This is my first purchase online (yea, i know i'm slow). Anyway, there's always a first time for everything. I got 2 items from her, Givenchy Powder & Cream Eyeshadow Quartet in Black Denim and a Paul&Joe Eye Color in 94.
Look at these cute brushes..they are tiny but very cute!
Swatches
Paul&Joe in 94

On my eye..I had to crop out the rest of the photo coz it's showing all the freckles on my face >.<

My colleague went to the Philippines last week and bought me this mascara from a local brand called Ever Bilena.
Look at the top corner eye, it closes and opens when you see it at a different angle.
Happy that i got my package and also it's Saturday! I was working though, now it's time for me to relax. Going to dinner soon and Bugis after that. Have a relaxing weekend everybody!
