Collective hauls (blush/highlight/contour/bronzer + MAC) over a couple of months. Most of 'em are untouched as of now. My blush collection alone is growing. Not a healthy sign for the wallet eh.

Will feature some of 'em bit by bit in separate posts. Here's a overview for now. There's Canmake, Jill Stuart (my 1st!), AC Cosmetics, Melliesh, Kose Cosmagic, Kose Visee (Thanks Elaine for gifting me this & opening the Bonjour spree.), Celebous Gelina.

Bourjois. An uncanny resemblance to Chanel ones yea?

Here are the Chanel ones. Gotten one of 'em from Elaine via tweet sale :D

NARS (my 1st! Linnera's blog sale), Lancome, Bobbi Brown, Barry M (my 1st!), Illamasqua, Urban Decay (my 1st!), Physician Formula (my 1st! Michelle's sg_beauty sale), Make Up For Ever (my 1st! Hazel's blog sale), Hourglass (my 1st!).

Just look at how beautiful the Lancôme one is! Limited edition ♥

Misc MAC stuff - e/s, MSF, blush.

 

That's all for now. Will include swatches in separate posts. Thanks for looking! (:

The Body Shop haul, mainly necessities.

Not all are mine though.

1 each for me & my siblings. The Body Shop Organic Cotton Rounds (x100).

The Body Shop Pink Bath Gloves, which was requested by my sis.

The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Soap for me. Smells heavenly!

The Body Shop Seaweed range skincare products belong to my bro. Here's the Seaweed Clarifying Toner for Combination/Oily Skin.

Seaweed Mattifying Moisture Lotion SPF15.

 

Love this Slanted Tweezers I'd gotten. It's not easy to find good tweezers (sharp & precise) as most don't do a good job of getting rid of stray brow hairs. I'm glad to find one that's not so EX! The most pricey one I'd gotten so far is the Sephora Illuminating Tweezer which is no longer available. That cost me $33 I think, but it works well for me anyway. Hmm I find that the battery life is super awesome as I haven't been changing it for years though I've spare ones. Reading those reviews make me wonder why some complain that the battery life is poor? I love everything about the Sephora one (esp. the light & magnifying mirror) except...... YES, the price tag.

And recently, there was a newly launched limited edition makeup collection - "Brush with Fashion" in collaboration with London College of Fashion. I picked up only 2 items.

Tailored Cheek Tint, which I thought was pretty interesting. It is a clear gel, which magically transforms on the skin into a pink blush suited to the skin tone.

Limited Collection For Eyes 02 A La Mode, which I prefer much better than 01 Boho Beauty (I do like the shimmery apricot shade on the top left though).

The pigmentation is seriously awesome much esp. the pretty silver color! I wonder if it's sold out island-wide yet? Coz it's sold out at some outlets.

That rounds up my lil' TBS haul.

"Hidden" at B1 Liang Court is a lil' treasure cove for budget beauties. It's like a mini version of Daiso as the stuff there are all $2 each.

The shop is called "Nanairo", which sells mainly Japanese foodstuff, stationeries, hair accessories, etc. Of coz not forgetting $2 makeup!

All these for $14 only. If you are new to makeup, maybe you'll like to try these for a start 1st?

AC Silver Lip Gloss 08. The color looks beigey nude as shown from the photo.

Actually, it's more of a shimmery gloss with not much pigmentation. Don't expect much since it's only $2. I love the sweet honey smell though, which I expected to be a cheap plasticky smell initially.

One side with gloss.

Close-up.

Shimmery orange but color doesn't show up on my lips. Looks just like clear shimmery gloss on me -.-

Bare lips :s

See what I mean?

Not much difference between these 2 glosses on my lips :s

Hmm the lip glosses doesn't feel sticky but tad oily feel somehow. Doesn't really bother me much, since I bought 'em just to try out. Doesn't dry the lips. If you prefer non-pigmented shimmery glosses, you might wanna give it a try since it's just $2.

Ok, AC Eyebrow pencil (BK). I bought it coz I mistook it for an eyeliner -.-

Here's the swatch.

AC eyeshadow palettes 01 and 06.

AC Highlighter Powder 01. Chantana bought this as well :D

Now for other random stuff I'd bought.

Bought these Daiso Layered Eyeshadow Palettes from Jerlaine at $2.80 each (I think), inclusive of normal postage. Fun to try out, that's why I bought 'em (;

A pretty lil' polka dot tote I'd got from a Japanese magazine purchase. My gf, Serene, bought it and whatsapped me this photo. I just had to get it since there was 20% discount for Kinokuniya card members at that point of time. HAPPY! :3

At the same time, I whatsapped her and ask which color (black/grey) should I get. A FREE Roxy dress with purchase of CLEO magazine. It's not the local CLEO I'm talking about (:

In the end, I bought the grey one!

That's all for my haul entry. Thanks for reading! (:

And, the focus of this LOTD is my pimp-ed lashes of coz (as shown in the super close-up photo).

Notice the red bits? Well, the red was not super obvious kind coz I layered red mascara over Dolly Wink Volume Mascara.

I'm pretty sure that the red will be super obvious over Majolica Majorca Lash Bone White Fiber.

You must be wondering what red mascara I'm talking about, yes? I didn't get it when it was launched last year. I only got it this year and I just knew I had to get my hands on it. Btw it's limited edition, maybe that explains why?

Ta Dah!~ Majolica Majorca Lash Gorgeous Wing Neo Red Mascara RD600 (Limited Edition).

 

A lil' review for now:

Red is definitely a unique color and not as widely-used as black or brown of coz. It is not easy to find a red mascara IMO. Correct me if I'm wrong. I was bent on getting this MJ mascara and the only place which still had stock was NAC Watsons. I bought it at full price, no discount whatsoever coz it's limited edition. There was about 2 or 3 left (can't remember) after I got mine. I love how the red makes my eyes 'POP'; more 'awake' somehow. My lashes do look kinda spidery due to the mascara fibers. BUT that doesn't really bother me much, since no one will stand THAT close enough to see that. The mascara fibers did add some length to my lashes and I ain't complaining :p Easy to remove as well, with cleansing oil of coz! I'll layer this on top of MJ Lash Bone White Fiber next time to see the RED effect. ♥x♥

Ignore my oily face; no thanks to the time-of-the-month.
