I haven't been keeping track of my hauls. Here I am, with part of my recent hauls :D

Got these Paul & Joe products at the Takashimaya atrium sale, weeks back.

Limited Edition Sahara Collection Finishing Powder. I got this @ $25.

My gf (Serene) also bought their Pressed Powder N, and I helped her to buy 2 more refills coz she love how it makes her face look so radiant! That I must agree with her, coz I saw how glowy her face was!

See how sparkly/shimmery it is? She was scared that the powder is too shimmery for her initially. Can understand why hahas :D

Powder+casing $30, refill $20.

I got this eye color ($15) coz I kinda like the color swatched. A pretty unique color (to me).

I would describe the color as greenish grey.

I seriously have so many shampoos/conditioners at home.. And so, I thought I would give these TRESemmé shampoo/conditioner a miss. But.. Obviously not.. >.< After reading tweets and blog entries, I caved in and bought 'em at the neighbourhood Guardian Pharmacy (the same day I bought the MBD "Blooming of Beauty" Masks). I chose Moisture Rich since there were not many choices left. Not a bad choice I would say. In fact, a pretty good one :p

$14.90 BOGO for such big bottles! Super worth it! BUT as of now, the promotion is over according to Serene. She actually wanted to buy during her office hours but she was told, the promotion was over.

It's a MUST to use shampoo/conditioner coz without using the conditioner, my hair feels really dry to touch after shampoo-ing. I do feel that my hair has become much softer and smoother after using for weeks. I like the scent, but it doesn't really lingers on though. Now that my hair color has become so bright, it's important that I take proper care of my hair. Damaged bright colored hair ain't exactly a pretty sight eh.

I bought Etude House Petite Darling Nails HD Beam BL504 on impulse @ $5.90. Not really cheap I know :s

And, I got this as a freebie! Cute right? Ooo.. It's a mirror :D

I like how pretty it looks when swatched on my nails in the shop.. BUT..

The application part isn't smooth at all. The formula is too thick & gooey :/ This blue is pretty though..

And, guess what? I got these Pantene Clinicare products @ Watsons! Yes, locally! Like finally! I don't think it's cheap.. $14.90 each, Frizz Defense Hair Serum and Hair Time Renewal One Wash Treatment. Haven't try 'em as yet.

BD Alcohol Swabs, $6.95 I think $5.95. Any idea where to get cheaper ones? :D

Vaseline Healthy White SPF24 PA++ Triple Lightening UVA & UVB Protection Lotion $10ish. I bought this totally for the TRIPLE LIGHTENING claim! So wanna lighten my body skin tone coz my face looks much fairer.. I like the mild scent and that it's not oily. It is easily absorbed into skin and I literally use the lotion for my entire body (yes every bit :x). My skin feels so moisturized after use *happy mode* :D Hopefully it'll really lighten my body skin tone.. *pray hard*

Did you manage to get these Tangs Beauty Hall $5 vouchers via the Be Green & Get Rewarded program? I haven't utilize 'em as yet. Know not what to buy coz these can't be used for certain brands like MAC(!!) *sad*

Anyway, the vouchers are good to use til 30 June 2011.

Something random. My current cardholder, gotten from a Japanese magazine. There's a matching lil' tote bag as well.

Polaroid photo of my girlfriend.. It's me la.. My long hair days.. heh..

Last but not least, a really cute and inexpensive owl necklace I got from a shop @ Orchard Cineleisure. Chantana also got herself a really unique-looking owl necklace. It was on the fun-filled day I blogged about sometime ago.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading (:

Do I look venomous ? Wicked enough ?

Finally I've got my hands on the MAC Venomous Villains Collection last Friday morning :D Not all of course (I wished :x).

I'm sure most of y'all know about this new collection by MAC and the response so far was pretty good judging by how fast the makeup products went flying off the shelves closets especially Bite of an Apple (matte powder blush) and Bad Fairy (nail polish).

This picture just shows part of the collection. Btw you can check out Temptalia for more reviews/swatches/news (:

For my eyes, I used My Dark Magic (Deep pink with pink pearl / Deep plum with purple pearl).

Here's the swatch of My Dark Magic.

Bite of an Apple (Soft coral pink) was bought at MAC standalone boutique at Ngee Ann City because.. Sephora Ion went OOS within 10mins :/

I simply adore this color, gorgeous !

A rough feel of how the colors appear on my face :p

Oh, I used the new Bioessence Bio-Platinum BB Cream (recently launched) on my face. I like it so far (been using for 4 consecutive days) but I won't recommend this for oily skin people.

Noticed the gold sheen ? I used Kate Gradical Eyes GD-1 (i like !). Damned :/ should have bought at BHG sales ! got 20% discount -.-

For my lashes, I used Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl plus Volume & Curl Mascara. I used L'oreal Hip Chrome Eyeliner (Black Shock) and Paul & Joe Dual Crayon 06 to line my eyes.

No lippy on.

I applied Wicked Ways (Brightened cherry red gloss that’s semi-opaque with subtle golden shimmer). This was a love-at-first-swatch purchase xD

It does not feel as sticky as the usual lipglasses. New formula ? Ooo I love how it plumps up my lips so beautifully ! The magic of makeup :p

Hmm I realized the pictures didn't do any justice to these wonderful babies T^T

I shall take pictures in the morning/noon when there is bright sunlight :D

I also bought She Who Dares. All in all, I just bought merely 4 products from this collection, which set me back by $138 $_$. How I wish I have all the $money$ in the world (sounds familiar eh :x) ! My post on this will be up soon (hopefully) :p

Ok, to end off I shall post a photo of me "looking real slim" XD

Notice the use of words ? That's simply because I've been putting on weight :'/ i'm gonna be OVERWEIGHT if I don't control what I eat !

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.

infused with oriental tea blend ingredients including white tea, green tea and black tea keep skin brighter and firmer. two patent ingredients of the oriental tea newplex and natural complex extract keep skin healthy by protecting from outer harmful substances.

comes with creamy touch color for lip & cheek which i absolutely adore !

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

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 !! ;)
