Beauty Goodies

31Mar12

My sis just came back from her Taiwan trip, which means new beauty goodies for me :D She bought quite a lot of sheet masks (me like!)... surprisingly no makeup at all.

SexyLook Hello Kitty Masks

Platinum + White Rose Brightening Double LiftingPink Cherry Moisture Double Lifting, Amethyst Polyphenols Hydrating Double Lifting Mask.

cute!

***ingredient lists***

 

My Beauty Diary Masks

Chocolate Truffle, Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing

***ingredient lists***

I only chose these few, since I've the others she bought. Wanna try 'em all soon! :P

 

I bought this Essence Nail Art Express Dry Drops coz it's just a fraction of the price of Seche Vite. I think it was $3.90 (8ml) if I remember correctly. Hope it works well...

 

The dark colored one (Anna Sui Lip Gloss R 550) was from Chantana. Looks not bad on me, me thinks :P

Here are the swatches of R 550 & C 302. They aren't too sticky, which sits comfortably on the lips. Pretty moisturizing, I would say. Ooo btw... they've the signature Anna Sui rose scent. Me loves!

 

Goodies I received for reviews and thru' random giveaways...

Talika Cream Booster, fake lashes, Peripera lippie, Mavala lip gloss set + nail color set, Sasatinnie new makeup products, Snail Cream (!!)

Stay tuned for the upcoming reviews! (:

LOTD: Kawaii (K-Palette Makeover by Sawako Shiratori)

03Aug11

During the K-Palette week, I went for the complimentary makeover session @ BHG Bugis on 15th July (Fri).

I did my own base makeup before heading out. In case you're wondering what blusher I used, that's Chanel Joues Contraste Rouge Powder Blush.

Btw, the oh-so-famous Amazing Concealer ain't working amazingly for me. I tried using it to conceal my zits and redness. Apparently, it failed to do so. MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT! It ain't cheap yo. To think I actually bought the 30ml! :/

Before the makeover session, I collected my Beauty Carousel prize @ Japalang Pte Ltd (Enterprise One). I swatched on K-Palette nail polish (the glittery ones) while waiting for 'em to pass me the prize.

My favorite? The turquoise one.

Available only online - Beauty Carousel.

 

Woah! I was the 1st one to arrive. Kiasu much?

Eeks! Eye-bags! :s

Sawako-san, doing the makeover. Kawaii look that is.

Eyeliner is my makeup essential.

With and without fake lashes certainly makes a huge difference! >.<~~

The finishing touch......

Kawaii? *lololol*

Credits to K-Palette FB Fanpage for the above image.

Me & Sawako-san. Thanks for the kawaii make-over! 

And, thanks Ariel for helping me take sooo many photos!

A close-up shot of the eye makeup. See how naturally-drawn the "bottom lashes" are!

And, it's time to camwhore. This is like only about 10% of the photos I took.. :x

With flashlight, the images are much clearer.

What do you think of the makeover?

Anyway, thanks for looking! (:

Dated Collective Hauls Part 2

27Oct10

Here's Part 2 of my dated collective hauls. CLICK HERE for Part 1.

I bought these Sally Hansen Diamond Strength nail polishes at Watsons since there was a promotion going on ($9.90 instead of the usual $13.90). Now, you can still purchase at this discounted price as the promotion is back ! Oh I especially love the shimmery one as it gives my nails a super high-shine shimmery finish (think gel nails). My gf who's super good in doing nails, loves this as well :p

Product Description (website):

  • Diamond Strength: Instantly bonds with nails to provide a shatterproof, diamond hard protective coating that virtually ends splitting, cracking and peeling.
  • Diamond Shine: Light-refractive diamond particles go beyond ordinary lacquer to produce a multi-dimensional faceted shine.
  • Diamond Wear: Long-lasting color is chip-resistant, fade-resistant and waterproof.
  • Special Ingredients: Exclusive micro-diamond formula guarantees a brilliant, multi-faceted shine!
  • Available in 36 shiny shades.

 

Majolica Majorca Eyes Reset Gel is a fragrance-free eye makeup remover that dissolve and remove any heavy makeup & stubborn waterproof mascara effectively and effortlessly. No additional cleansing required as it is formulated with treatment ingredients such as Vitamin E derivative and macadamia nut oil, which conditions the sensitive skin around eye area. This retails for only $9.90. I'll do a mini review soon (:

I've been a regular user of Neutrogena sheet masks and I love to purchase them @ Watsons for $1.95 (promotional price) each. Now they've revamped the mask design ! New 3D stretchable design, which can fit our face shape & contours perfectly. Sounds really good eh. Anyone tried yet ?

Another new addition to my nail polish collection, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri nail polish (Jumpin' Jade).

Product description (website): One stroke application. One coat coverage. Perfectionist BrushTM delivers a fast, flawless application that dries to a shiny finish in 60 seconds. It dries in 60 seconds. Toluene, DBP, and Formaldehyde free. Special Ingredients: Exclusive formula with FlexiglassTM Complex for Strength and Brilliant Shine. Available in 32 irresistible shades !

Sana Make Essence Concealer. Cute packaging. Hmm I'll use it for my dark eye circles.

Updated: CLICK HERE (This concealer is meant to conceal wrinkles, not dark eye circles. Blur me, bought the wrong one. Thanks Anonymous Bosch !)

I've gotten this Ossion Mild Touch Detox Bubble Mask sample from The Sample Store. Never heard of this brand before. Btw it's from Korea and it sounds really promising, judging from what I've read on the website. Anyway, shall try it out !

CLEO magazine freebies (: Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate sachet sample and Whisper Nights Super Long Overnights Pad. Hmm I've tried the pad and what I can say is it's really SUPER LONG !! I felt as if I was wearing adult diaper (mini version), super uncomfortable -__-" I'll never buy this for sure.

This Sana PorePutty Make Up Base SPF17/PA++ was bought at John Little. It claims to create even-looking skin, by covering the visible pores. Foundation application is made easier. It contains silicon and sebum-absorbing powder. Is it really that good ?

Ignore the $4.90 price tags. I bought these @ 2 for $1 !! ;D

The store-wide $2 store, Daiso ! I bought this to hold my eyeliners.

These are for storing makeup/nail polishes ?

Hmm these are either for brushes or more eyeliners.. or prolly mascaras ?

I bought these to complement my face cleansing. I haven't use the wash net yet. The face cleansing brush bristles seem to be a lil' harsh on my skin. Maybe I'll just use it to brush my neck area only.

Compact laundry bag, I really need this (lol).

I love this Tohato Caramel Corn snack alot !! Do try it, and get addicted like I do :p I can easily finish one whole packet on my own.

Organic Cotton rounds and pads from The Body Shop. They retail for about $2+ or $3+ I think, very affordable !

Hmm more cleansing stuff ! I think my face is very "dirty" :x The Body Shop Soft Facial Cleansing Sponge and Facial Buffer.

I saw this The Body Shop Autumn Leaves Compact on several blogs.. and I got tempted.. I wanted to get both initially but I end up getting just this Berry one. The swatches are beautiful, remind me of MAC MSF. Hmm but.. one thing I notice about The Body Shop makeup, they break too easily ! This was what happened to my bronzer compact and eyeshadow :,( Or is it just me ?

I bought this pair of fake lashes @ $4.90 I think, after I saw the salesgirl wearing 'em. Sooo nice !

I like to buy nail polishes at The Face Shop as the price is very affordable $2.90 ! I've almost every color available :p

I used to dislike yellow color. Hmm I still dislike orange color though. Very random, I know hahas xD

Base nail polish. Shit, I forgot I've one at home :/

Canmake Colorful nail polish, my favourite pink ! See the pretty shimmers !

Beauty magazine from Kinokuniya. It helps that I love reading Chinese :D

CLEO magazine. I don't really like this particular month magazine front cover color combination and featured celebrity :S

It's a Japanese magazine 'SWEET' and I can't read hahas xD

Quite a small but pretty Anna Sui bag.

I like the Anna Sui pouch color & floral design. Both are well-made, considering they are freebies.

Women's Weekly with free Phyto Restructuring Mask. I simply love good deals like this, plus I enjoy reading this magazine ! Usually, I'll twitter about it when I chance upon magazine freebie(s).

I got this Biore Makeup Remover (for Eye & Lip) sample but yet to try yet. So far its reviews are good, from what I've gathered from most beauty blogs.

More haul posts to be up. Any queries, feel free to ask me :D

Collective Hauls & Yummy-licious Food !

19Aug10

my hauls are never-ending, i know. it surely doesn't help that beauty brands are coming up with new products every now & then. i just bought MUFE lab shine lip glosses from a friendly MUA at Sephora Ion. i was there with Charlene btw, she bought a foundation. no pictures for now as i'm still trying to finish up this collective haul post for now. well, initially i met up with her just to get Guerlain Écrin 6 Couleurs palettes but sadly the ones we wanted to get were OOS due to its launch promo at CK Tangs. i think by the time the stock arrives, the promo will be over and surely $118 is not a price that i'll be willin g to fork out for the palette =_=" and, we reserved Urban Decay Naked palette ! i was told Urban Decay Book of Shadows 3 won't be coming to Singapore :c sad !! anyway, i had a great time shopping with her and she's taller than expected :p

ahh.. many happy things happened lately.. i participated in a hair color seminar hosted by Canada award winning colorist Rodica Hristu with Jones.. just attended Aqualabel workshop for the contest.. won Chantana's giveaway 牛爾 Robin Niu's Beauty Talk Workshop ticket (redberry, candy & jones also won) ! going for an exclusive bloggers' Kotex WOW party before that.. oh i went to a Shiseido Bio-Performance Super Corrective Serum workshop as i was one of the 100 ladies selected from 2000+ survey entries and received a full sized Shiseido Bio-Performance Super Corrective Serum :3 i'll be receiving Mojitate Kiajitsu & Deep Moist lipbalms from The Sample Store (formerly known as Fr3b) for review purposes.. Loreal is finally bringing in Hip eye makeup and i'm going for this exclusive preview ! very happy ! more opportunies of such please :3

this, i got from Elise (:

these, i got from sg beauty from a seller who's not so friendly in person :/

this, i got from mitju at a discounted price and it's so comfortable !

sweet pink scrunchy from a random shop.

sg beauty buys again. irresistible prices :x

here's the swatches :D

a one-time happy shopping experience at NAC Sephora. i bought the too faced bronzer palette using the $40 voucher, paying only $24 i think. the cashier was so nice to have given me so many samples. i'd pretty bad experiences at Sephora Ion so far.

for a moment, this was OOS. luckily it's not limited edition. look at how gorgeous the bronzer palette is !

so pretty !

this is my favourite ! :3

yeah i collected these from Fr3b. hopefully The Sample Store will be up soon. the location now is so inaccessible !

MAC Kitschmas pigment sample & Gransenbon Blush 07 Blossom Pink from sg beauty. free samples from the seller.

huge Loreal intense repair shampoo, can last me quite awhile. right now, i'm using Goldwell hair shampoo & conditioner which i got from the hair seminar :D

yeah my dearest friend gifted me these ♥

another friend gave me Sasa fake lashes

Etude House BB Magic Cream as well ! i'm blessed to have lovely friends :D

Pazzion shoes splurge ! spent $150+ for 2 pairs @_@ bought together with my friend (also 2 pairs $150+) to qualify for life-time membership - 10% discount. COMFY !

bought this pai from new look on a day when my feet almost "died" from wearing charles & keith black heels -_-"

i finally got these MUFE aqua creams ! $42 each, can use for very long time.

intense blue, anthracite, emerald green ♥

bought the Sephora smoothing primer for $10 using $10 voucher to offset. again, i hate Sephora Ion customer service to the core !

earrings from Bdazzle for my sensitive ears.'

i'm trying to whiten myself you see -_-" comes in a promotional package for $80+ from Watsons. 3-months supply.

for now, yummy-licious food !

i like this glutinous rice ball bean curd thingy from Mr Bean. now they have sesame glutinous rice balls. they used to have only peanut ones.

i love fresh cherries ! i hate those fake ones you find on cakes, ice creams :s

ultimate indulgence ! i buy these sinful stuff only when they are on promotion :3

smoked salmon sandwich at Swiss Bake.

i tell you, the soup is mad delicious $4 ! located near the escalator at Takashimaya B1 food area. only limited counter seats !

looking at the pictures make me real hungry T_T the saba fish is juicy and taste so good $11 i think !

how can i forget this bbq squid $10 ! really very tasty ! MUST TRY 'em ! no GST no service charge !

company's treat at Tung Lok Group restaurant.

dim sum very delicious !

this one also ! not bad :d~

mushroom veggy dish, i like.

fried rice, taste-less, don't like.

rock melon dessert, too sweet but fruit not sweet, extremely dislike.

tea break at Tea Loft, Orchard Ion. this place reminds me of high-class Toastbox LOL

ok, i went back again and ordered different stuff. unagi rice bowl, not so worth it for $14.50 -_-" but taste not bad though.

don't order this salmon set. imo, not very tasty.

ok, this rounds up my long post. more to come ! hope y'all enjoyed reading ♥

addictive; i'm officially hooked

17Jul10

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
  • ensures a dewy, sensuous skin
  • makes skin feel fresh & comfortable
  • leaves you a beautiful appearance

 

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

    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.

    cleo magazine, check out 2010 cleo beauty hall of fame !

    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 !

    LOTD: Aquadisiac Twins

    02Jul10

    aquadisiac, the very 1st l'oreal chrome intensity palette i got my hands on. now, i'm still short of pink mania to complete the collection. should i ? i've been deciding for the longest time -,- i must say the colors are so very intense that my friend actually asked if i was going for some wedding dinner or party *faints* usually what you see on the pictures are kind of 'washed out' colors. in real life, the colors are seriously pigmented. you have to try to know.

     

    my overall look without lip makeup. i prefer to take pictures in the toilet since the lighting there is the best (the rest really sucks :/).

    on the very day i had this look on, i went far east plaza to buy some lashes. i bought at enamour, the shop best known for pushy sales girls :/ it is located at level 4 by the way. this girl who served me & my friend keep up-selling from head (hair products) to toe (foot mask). we came out $50 poorer each :/ 15 pairs of lashes, 1 black lash liner glue & double-lid stickers set.

    here's my 1st look with lip makeup on. i'm using the giveaway prize i won from hazel, covergirl outlast lipstain - everbloom kiss.

    what i like about this lipstain is that it is easy to draw on lips. it leaves a slight tint on lips, good enough to brighten up my whole look. it doesn't dry my lips and i love the accompanying lil' sweet scent. overall, i find it very cute to use as the packaging is just like a typical pink highlighter :D

    hmm, i find the lashes natural since the length is not that long. they are slightly longer than my own mascara-ed lashes. however, the color of lashes are quite obvious. very natural lashes are usually quite fine and the color is not obvious.

    by the way, the sales girl helped me put on the eyelashes. do note that once they let you TRY the lashes, simply means you must BUY the lashes. so, think twice.

    oh, the very helpful girl also helped me put on the double eyelid stickers. yes, once tried considered sold.

    you can see the double eyelid sticker from upclose.

    this one very obvious -,-

    the lashes look kind of glossy black right.

    right side look.

    left side look.

    notice a slight change ? my lip makeup is more towards nude pink. you just have to apply a tiny bit of concealer on your stained lips.

    the overall look is more sweet & demure kind.

    i prefer this look more since the eye makeup is already kind of heavy somehow. the previous look is more suitable for going clubbing, wedding dinners, etc.

    which look you prefer ?

    what makeup products i used ?

    eyes:

    • too faced shadow insurance
    • sana new born lasting w brow LB3
    • etude house eye glow pencil 2
    • l'oreal chrome intensity palette - aquadisiac
    • ettusais eye zone control
    • kiss me heroine make smooth liquid eyeliner
    • stage broadway brown eyeliner
    • random brand fake lashes

     

    face:

    • biore uv perfect face milk
    • sephora oil free mattifying foundation light 20
    • mac well dressed blusher

     

    lips:

    • covergirl outlast lipstain - everbloom kiss
    • ettusais eye zone control

    Loving Lunasol Nature Blue &.. LOTD(N)s

    02Jun10

    it's sucha random post.. much backdated too coz my dearest gf wedding was almost 2mth back :x umm well i only gotten her wedding pics not too long ago.. dats y.. y'all wont mind right (i assume) ? :p i wont be posting pics of her & such in view of privacy.. so it's jus a couple of pics of me, yours truly (ahem :x) heez~

    the very first lunasol i'd gotten was Lunasol Control Makeup Base 25ml 02 Lightening..

    it is a SPF20 PA++ makeup base that evens out roughness and clears away the signs of dullness with a soothing texture.

    imo, it doesnt do much seriously.. i literally felt dat $52 is not worth to spend (... splurge) on this -,- disappointed much..

    anyways on a happier note, i dint give up totally on lunasol !! after several blog reviews and such, i decided to get lunasol spring 2010 eyeshadow palette(s) :D~

    i've got nature blue (obviously) & nature beige (havent use as yet :x)

    i'm loving nature blue sooo much ! (:

    i also got shining eyes beige (2nd from right)..

    here's some professional pics credits to mr lawrence pang (:

    oops :x hahas act angry LOTD..

    this is LOTN.. love this pic super alot ! my gf lil' cousin sooo cuteee sooo shyyy :3

    star product was pupa mineralize eyeshadow.. highly pigmented.. love the gold bits :p

    ooo see the super dolly lashes !!

    focus was on smoky eyes so other parts of face were kept pretty much neutral..

    i love both looks :p

    next is a tag post '6 products i can't live without'.. tagged by hazel (: gonna be a pretty tough post for me i guess..
