It's been a whole week since my last post. Now, on to Part 2 of my Undeclared Hauls & Gifts 2010.

This was a Dior sale haul, which coincided with Shiseido sale haul (not posted as yet). A day of massive hauling, indeed. I almost grabbed ALL the Dior quints =.= Well, almost. It was really hard to choose which to get !! And the price was IRRESISTIBLE !!

140 Twilight.

A better representation of the colors.

059 Pearl Glow (Limited Edition).

009 Sky Glow.

Got myself 2 lippies as well. Rouge Dior Replenishing Lip Color 858 Red Scene and 434 Interview Pink.

Last but not least, Dior Duo Magique (Duo-Phase Eye Makeup Remover).

 

I knew I had to get my hands on this after reading Lotus Palace blog.

Something from Kanebo ?

What could it be for $118 ?!

Yes, I caved in and got myself this freaking expensive AMAZING concealer (fair).

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter smells freaking awesome I tell ya !

 

Kinokuniya time.

Disappointed buy. agnès b. canvas tote bag. It actually comes with a red heart keychain which I forgot to take photo of.

Awesome buy. Super kawaii HbG bag. Many may find it kiddy. I don't care what others think, as long as I like it (:

Even the lil' HbG keychain is irresistibly kawaii max !! Agree ? :p

I got myself another Fred Perry tote bag ! Their tote bags are always well-made IMO.

Another disappointing buy. I don't like this YSL bag. Not really well-made IMO. Photos are deceiving !!

Taiwan Beauty magazine Oct'10 issue featuring Elva Hsiao.

Women's Weekly Nov'10 with free Nivea Sparkling White Whitening Day Care.

Bazaar Oct'10 with free $20 Häagen-Dazs voucher and a gold ice-cream spoon (not in photo).

Elle Nov'10 with free agnès b. makeup pouch.

Bought this from Vion, which I forgot all about it =.= HK New Monday magazine with free Adidas 2-way tote bag (purple).

Paul & Joe floral pouch set which was free with Japanese magazine purchase. Well-made, which makes a good buy !

 

Random hauls.

Bought 'em at Guardian. Now, these are the old packaging BRTC BB Creams.

I bought BRTC Protect Multiplex Balm SPF20 PA++ & Jasmine Water BB Cream SPF30.

Bought these Elianto pearl shine eyeshadows during a sale.

(TWO TO TANGO, ELECTRA-FIED, ULTRA VIOLET, CHARISMA, PARAKEET)

(PROTEGE, BONDAGE, 1492, COUGAR)

After MONTHS & MONTHS of WAITING & WAITING, I finally get my SMH eyeshadows. BUT NOT ALL. FRESH, according to her was OOS. I do understand that SMH customer service is really THAT bad. But then again, many had problems with the person who conducted the spree. Some of the common problems were: not able to get back refunds despite numerous reminders, unable to contact (be it thru' sms-es, emails, calls, PM-s !!). I can't help but wonder if I'll get any refund for my OOS e/s or will the e/s arrive safely in prolly months' time ?? Well, I'm THAT accommodating that I traveled all the way to the west to collect the e/s instead of opting for mail. It was my 1st time joining OnSugar spree and it wasn't a good one. I believe there're others who have worse experience(s) as compared to mine. Oh well ..

Bourjois Khol & Contour eye pencils (gray, ultra black, blue).

Fasio Chandelier Shine Eyes SV-5. Lotus Palace awesome review, swatches and EOTD !

Now, you know beauty blog reading is sooo dangerous ! BUT it's sooo gratifying and addictive much !

MJ Brow Customize Super Slim BR782 refills.

Nature Republic Age Slick Dual Secret Lip Color & Gloss 05 Coral Peach, 04 Coral Pink. Click here for swatch of 04 Coral Pink.

Nature Republic Ice Jelly Primer SPF28++ Melon - Hydrating. I love the melon-y smell very much and it has a unique pudding texture.

I had to buy this coz I forgot to bring my powder out on that fateful day =.= Well, no regrets coz I simply love this new ZA Skin Beauty Two-Way Foundation SPF20 PA++ refill ! Shade 21 though it's tad fair for me but it looks more natural after oxidization. The powder is really fine and it helps to keep my makeup looking fresh and shine-free for hours.

Nivea Angel Star Body Soft Soufflé.

Really looks like yoghurt eh :3 And, I'm very in love with the raspberry scent !! Smells heavenly ..

Get your facts right before commenting ! And pls, I had to COMMENT on the blog post just to let her know which item I wanted (Majolica Majorca Jeweling Eyes GR 791)though it was stated to PM her (I whatsapp-ed her at 1st, which she deemed unfair to the other chosen winner).

oh, this is a picture-heavy post. my recent makeup hauls, lovely freebies & not forgetting LOTD (dated 2 days ago). ah, i've been hauling alot. really alot =,= and, i've jus signed up for a 3-yr kino membership card. i need more $$$ =,=

this is an unexpected haul from shu uemura, definitely. last min, i wanted to buy a eyebrow mascara so badly. dun ask me y. coz idk too =,= anyway, with the limited time i had & after searching several stores. i decided to try my luck @ the shu uemura stand-alone store @ ion orchard. i chose tawny gold as it lightens & brightens my eyebrow color. i like it alot btw. i dint ask for the price, jus wanna pay for it & go off. but the mua had to tell me there's a promo gg on. purchase $120, $10 off. so i asked for her recommendation & she recommended me the highly raved beige mousse base. the base is a primer for helping foundation last longer & to brighten up complexion. i like the mousse texture, caved in (: so both added up to $110 after $10 off. finally, i added a brush cleanser(my very first also) so that i could be their member. in all, i spent $123 unexpectedly =,=

this is my sephora haul before shu uemura's. i bought my very first foundation brush from sephora & the 'always oos' too faced shadow insurance. and, i haven't even start using urban decay primer potion yet =,= the cashier gal was so nice ! bcoz she gave me skincare samples & sephora smoothing primer samples when i asked if there's any :p i've been wanting to try the smoothing primer as it's supposed to mattify & smooth my skin. yeah can finally try it !

bought dhc acne cream to try as i've been having breakouts @ my forehead hairline recently. free deluxe size cleansing oil. i was told this gwp was available in only flagship stores eg. ngee ann city outlet.

new freshlook turquoise lenses (:

random buy.

bought this after i read icyabstract's blog.

charity auction stuff collected from mag. there was a complimentary joe & dough $10 voucher too. 2 benefit samples, courtesy of mag ;D i like the x-girl pouch though it's kinda small for my daily makeup necessities.

BRTC glossy shining bb cream ! the nice sweet lady kept reminding me to use sponge for application coz the texture is lil' thick. i'll definitely heed ur advice, no worries (: not forgetting the lovely china glaze nail polishes(my very firsts). kinda excited to use them hehe.

there's the nyx blush, jesse's girl e/s(look more like a blusher to me), tarte lipglosses(my very firsts), loreal e/s quad, za duo e/s, za mascara. notice the color combinations ? the mauve pinkish & the green bluish.
