It was an impromptu decision going for the L'oreal Expo Sale. I had to collect my Hada Labo new product (for review) from the post office. So I thought I'll just head down to take a look since it was pretty near for me. Hmm.. Somewhat disappointed? Or maybe not?

The sale commences today, ends on Sunday. I reached before 1015am. And, there's already quite a number at the respective counters. Frankly speaking, there isn't much stuff to buy (for me). If you seldom go to such sale, prolly you'll enjoy the sale. I've been to numerous L'oreal sales and the products available for sale are somewhat the same. Anyway, it's individual preference. I saw some really buy alot. Usually, the prices will be slashed down by quite a fair bit at the very last day. However, the more popular products might be sold out by then.

My mini haul. Told ya so. Finally L'oreal Exfotonic is on sale! I love this coz it gives me baby smooth skin after use. Have you tried? It's really THAT awesome. The usual price is $20.90 I think. I got it for $10 :p

La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water $20.90 $10! Good buy eh.

Maybelline Pure Liquid Mineral Foundation BO-1 $26.90 $10! I've been wanting to try it after Chantana bought it few months ago. Now is a good chance to try ^^

Total spent = $30

Total saved = $38.70

There's a Food Fair and I bought Korean foodstuff! Korean-crazy recently :3

Tidbits. Quite small pack. Can munch on while watching K-drama hehe~ I tasted before buying. So these are the good ones lol! Love the Smoky Bacon Chips!

Lotte Choco Pie, the aunty's recommendation. Instant Ramen-s (Kimchi & Hot Mushroom)!

More snacks and something healthy - Honey Citron Tea.

Total spent = <$25

Went to check out Watsons promotion.

I finally bought My Beauty Diary (MBD) Hello Kitty Mask Sets! There's 5% off for this. $16.90 $16.05! I got the Honey Strawberry one today and paid only $16.05. As for the Strawberry Milk one, I got last week (I think). No discount >.<

Anyway, will review 'em soon! The packaging is super duper kawaii ♥

Buy 'em if you haven't do so. Limited edition yo! GO-GO-GO!

• Murad Hybrids Eye Lift Illuminator

Time to nap...... @.@Zzz

this is a picture-intensive post (as usual). makeup hauling makes me a unusually happy girl (umm.. lady). my friends can never understand why i can haul on makeup/skincare while i can never understand their love for shoes/ clothes/ bags (i mean expensive branded ones). oh well, everyone has their own spending habits.

first up, my paul & joe haul from robinsons expo sale.

paul & joe light cream foundation SPF 15 PA++

• soft texture & instantly melts onto skin
• contains rich moisturizing properties

 

paul & joe protective dual powder foundation with SPF25 PA++

the coated powder lasts long without making your complexion look dull. giving you a light, smooth, soft focus, semi matte finish

contains superfine SPF powder, enabling outstanding sun protection with a thinner coating on the skin's surface for a luminous finish

 

i love the floral casing, so pretty !

revlon colorstay mineral foundation SPF10

this is a long-wearing, loose powder foundation that is good for the skin. it combines the patented colorstay technology and softflex for lightweight comfort, together with minerals such as rose quartz, mother of pearl and topaz, all of which are beneficial to skin. it applies evenly and blends for a soft, natural looking, seamless appearance and a smooth, flawless finish. it is non-irritating and fragrance and oil-free.

to apply, twist the cap to release the full sized brush. swirl brush into powder and tap off excess. blend powder evenly all over face, buffing in circular motions.

this gapbody lotion smells really heavenly :3 it's glass bottle not the usual plastic one. and so, this sums up my robinsons expo sale haul.

i've finally got this skin79 oriental gold bb cream ! HAPPY !

triple effect premium bb cream with whitening, wrinkle Improvement, UV interception SPF25 PA++. keeps skin more resilent and brilliant with natural ingredients such as gold, flower extracts, leaf extracts, persimmon extract, and caviar extract. improves skin into glossy and sleek status, more completely protecting from exposure to harmful UV rays.

this is my lil' haul from nature republic (again).

blemish lab ac bb cream SPF20, a mild blemish-balm cream for sensitive and trouble skin.

black head break remover massage oil, a remover oil for smooth nose that minimises pores after remove blackhead in pores. cover a fair amount over nose, spread and massage for about 3 mins, then rinse with warm water, wash with foam cleanser.

color deco nail colors, aren't these colors gorgeous !? not to mention the prices are to-die-for LOL

i love getting free samples since i can try before buying the full-sized ones. but sometimes it can be really troublesome to ask for samples especially you meet really nasty or black-faced sales ladies.

i love essential hair products since they do wonders to tame my somewhat fizzy hair. i really love the fact that it smoothens my hair ends effortlessly (:

i bought the spring magazine to get the freebies. hmm i was kind of disappointed with the fabric quality of the freebies though :C

free skinc renew conenzyme Q10 at kinokuniya with female july magazine.

her world magazine hits 50 ! free slice of cake from bakerzin & a free sample from sephora to be redeemed.

this rilakkuma pouch is so kawaii ! i couldn't resist buying it and it was the LAST piece ! perfect for storing my makeup :p

i bought these at the infamous enamour store located at far east plaza level 4.

double eyelid stickers. i'm so lazy to use them, seriously.

the black eyeliner lash glue. this is really expensive, at $20plus :/

initially, i wanted to get lashes only. end up getting more than i should. i don't think i'll be going to that store again i guess.

another 2 boxes of fake lashes. buying online is so much cheaper !

majolica majorca eyelash curler given by my friend (: i don't see this selling in singapore though.

i hauled the face shop in malaysia. the prices there are much cheaper and i got these freebies with purchase of $40.

the cotton pads look really good to use yea. my friend got it free without buying anything hahas !

this lipgloss handphone charm is so cute and pretty !

i bought nail polishes (:  

this eyeshadow is very cheap !! only left this, a pretty shimmery pale green color.

very cheap !! i always stock up lens solutions in malaysia :p

btw i did my classic manicure & pedicure for only $58, which means about SGD26 :x i chose colors from the opi shrek collection.

i did a simple eye makeup for the short trip to JB.

here i'm using:

• urban decay midnight cowboy eyeshadow
• nature republic prism star sparkling eyeshadow SYL303 (gold)
• etude house eye glow pencil 5
• sana new born lasting w brow LB3

 

my final buy which is ben & jerry's ice cream ! my ultimate sinful indulgence :x i can finish one whole pint by myself ! so yummy who can resist right hahas !

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~

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..

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 ?

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 >,<

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 (:

as above is the haul i've gotten.. not all for myself la :p i've gotten myself dhc blotting lotion & dhc acne whitening gel. now grab 'em at only $50 for 3 for the former & $80 for 3 for the latter.. dhc seldom have discount.. so yups ;) the rest are my lil sista's..

and, these r the samples i managed to get from the dhc rep.. frankly speaking, dhc reps standard r damn horrible.. as compared to fancl's.. 1 of the rep's skin was sooo bad.. i mean reali veryveryvery extremely bad kind.. patchy skin with too-white foundation.. acne scars r literally all over the face +_+ jus bcoz i had a breakout on my chin. she told me i could use dhc acne spot gel to clear the acne.. i told her i bought it already(which i reali did & like it pretty much).. i looked at her & was indeed not convinced that the products she recommend me r gd if i was new to dhc =,= anyways, she kinda ignore me & i jus proceeded on with looking at the dhc products.. another lady serve me.. at least her skin is average though on the matured side.. yea, she was the one who gave me the samples.. i love the salicylic acne wash & face milk samples as i've since used up 2 of them each.. with the help of them & the acne spot gel, my acne is cleared, finally ! it's damn annoying coz it's too bloody big & there's no way i could conceal it =,= i shall buy them when they r on sale :x hahas !

i bought majolica majorca jewel eyes BL711, one of the 3 for $50 buys.. this retails for $27.50 usually.. if u prefer pigmented shades, this is not for u (:

kate metallic color gel liner i bought at m'sia sasa.. for $37ringgit.. gold shade i likeee !

two random buys frm ta zhiang, a shop selling rhomlon makeup, hair accessories, etc.. the colors look reali lovely, yes ? the 1st palette shades r highly pigmented i would say.. $4.90 for 8 colors.. u do the math hahas ! there r other palettes too.. will grab 'em if i like these two.. as for the 2nd palette, there wasn't any testers so i jus bought without trying.. $8.90.. $4 more but i couldn't resist la >,<

kate brown eye liner bought at watsons m'sia.. only $16ringgit :x dhc lash tonic bought at watsons sg.. haven't try yet coz i'm happily using my talika lipocils ^^ cyber colors silver glitter liner at sasa m'sia only $9.90ringgit !! paul & joe's face color bought at sg beauty.. kate deep eyes palette GY-1 at sasa m'sia.. garnier face powder at watsons m'sia $11ringgit only !!

my recent stage haul ! my sis bought a cream concealer, 2 wonderglosses - venus & helen.. i bought gaia & dido.. wonderluxe lippie - naughty nude.. wonderlust lippie - gisele.. $8 each.. free stage nail color - innocent.. choose from 4 shades.. i rem got copper, deep maroon red, mauve.. this is valid for stage members with $45 above purchase.. there's 40% storewide not applicable for certain products eg. accessories etc.. the blusher was bought separately using my $10 voucher before this sale.. so i paid $15.. kinda redundant voucher coz of the 40% discount right now +_+ and ya, if u wanna buy liquid foundation or concealer at 50% discount, pls bring along any used liquid foundation or concealer to get the discount.. only limited to one purchase per customer.. so is either one.. u can bring along ur frens or brothers or boyfriends or whoever if u wanna buy more *winks ;D

mac mineralize eyeshadows - odd couple & fresh green mix.. jill stuart limited ed 101 vintage glaze.. bought at sg beauty.. yes finally, my very first jill stuart makeup !! i love my awesome buys !!

i've been lemming for this foundation powder for the longest time hahas ! finally i got this laneige sliding pact_ex(white plus renew) /bright skin tone 2 at $25 which is abt half the retail price i guess..

unique & effective multi functional pact provides natural coverage & luminous pearlescent complexion. excellent whitening cum long lasting uv protections.
the result: pure, matt, soft and luminant morning time makeup as it is. hope it's reali as awesome as it claims *cross fingers

this one also !! but only left one shade.. and, i bought it anyway :x laneige snow crystal dual foundation in deep beige 33.. for more dark medium skin tones.. umm i figure that i can jus use light tone loose powders over them so yups :x plus, it doesn't reali seem that dark afterall when i tested on.. my hand.. fyi, u r suppose to test on jawline for better accuracy.. oh wells..

this dual foundation has a concealer at the top and a foundation at the bottom. amazing, yes ! the foundation comprises the honey comb structure which conjuncts moisturizing ingredients and brings upon the cross linking complex – a complex that runs moisture like a cobweb, keeping moisture running all day. the result: imperfections like dark circles and blemishes are concealed and skin is kept moist and comfortable all day.

next up, is the laneige skin veil foundation in 21 natural beige.. more suitable for my skin tone.. can't wait to try all of 'em !!

laneige clear-c effector.. it's said to be a booster for transparent skin. to be applied after cleansing using cotton pad or ball every morning & night before skincare. it smells gd :x

laneige waterproof lip & eye makeup cleanser samples.. this dual layer cleanser and remover suits all skin types and effectively removes waterproof and heavy makeup on the lip and eye area.. i stil prefer maybelline or loreal ones.. or the expensive lancome one..

high perm curling mascaras.. i'm not reali liking 'em much yet.. hmm.. the world’s first disc rubber brush.. the brush is perfect for short stubborn lashes which refuse to curl as it comes with insuppressible curling power – curling lashes up to 70 degrees. jelly thickener wax enables lashes to stay flexible and soft while the fixed polymer enhances the mascara’s curling properties by curling and setting the perfect curl all day. umm.. i aint convinced yet..

highly pigmented babies !! i chose these 4 coz i don't wanna get so many :p i tink i'll love 'em pretty much *grins

snow crystal melting glossy lippie in happy pink ! will it make me happieee applying this alone ? hahas hope so.. i love pink !! ;)
