Last thursday was a sweeeettttttt day. For once, I left school smiling and satisfied with myself for surviving the day and doing a pretty good job.
It got even more sweeter when my long awaited package from drugstore.com finally came. At 9pm no less! I was confused when my sister burst into my room and told me there's a postman outside our gate when it's so dark outside? But mann! I'm so glad it came!

Coz I only ordered 10 items through vconcierge, there's a whole lot of extra space in the box. Instead of bubble-wrapping everything or scattering those foam thingies, they put in a bio-degradable inflatable air bag! It's the first I've seen, it was quite interesting HAHA. And everything came in good condition. Me a happy girl :)

1. Physician's Formula (*I'm gonna shorten this to PF) Gentle Cover Stick Concealer in Yellow

My ELF Cover Stick fails miserably to cover my under-eye circles so i switched to using it as an "eye primer". This one however is a winner! This works soooo good that I'm afraid of using it up and I'll have to order again. And there won't be a sale anymore so I'll have to pay double the price! Mann. So I dot my Loreal True Match under my eyes and pat it in, then use a little of this where the puffiness of my eyes end so that it blends with my skin. Confused much?

2.PF / Organic Wear Eyeliner in Black Night

I much prefer this over my Maybelline Unstoppable "Smudge-proof" eyeliner. That one leaves streaks under my eyes after a few hours and I keep having to re-apply. Panda eyes anyone? I like the fact that Organic Wear's has a pretty leafy design on the pencil and it's very creamy that it glides on easily. Color is a true black, thank god. Some black eyeliners comes off as grey or even a little blue. This does smudge a little but staying power is quite good.

3.PF Powder Palette Multi-Colored Face Powder in Translucent

Used this once as a setting powder. Truthfully, I didn't see a difference in my appearance when wearing this over my foundation. But the mosaic pattern looks pretty in my makeup drawer :)

4. PF / Organic Wear Pressed Powder in Warm Beige

I have not worn this coz I'm trying to finish up my SilkyGirl one first. But honestly, how many powders are shaped to look like a pretty leafy imprint? Not many LOL.


5. CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara in Very Black

Finally I understand what the hype is about. Lengthens and especially volumizes lashes like no one's business. Really fat wand but I feel that I have more control when doing my lashes with this. My NYX Doll-eye has taken a backseat, this is my current favourite mascara :)

6. CoverGirl Trushine Lip Color in Nude Shine

Sheer wash of color so I usually swipe this back and forth more than twice. Tube is a little taller than my other lippies but the design is gorgeouss. It's a silver reflective tube, so it creates a 3D rainbow-lines impression. So pretty. This is my go-to nude lipstick for work. In the tube it looks like a cream pink, but on your lips it's more beige.

7. Queen Helene Oatmeal 'n' Honey Natural Facial Scrub

Doesn't it sound delicious? I was anticipating a delicious waft from the tube that would have me battling whether to have a taste-test of the scrub. When I first smelled it though, I thought of insect spray. I am not kidding, and I think there are people who would agree with me. But don't be turned off just yet, coz in the shower it smells somewhat pleasant..Almost soothing.

It's supposed to be a daily cleanser, but I'm using this as an exfoliator since it has tiny black beads (oatmeal?) that serves the purpose. So every 3 days or after I wore heavy makeup that day and after removing everything with makeup wipes, I would reach for this.

8. Wet 'n' Wild Ultimate Sheer Tinted Moisturizer in Sun-Kissed

Sheer is the word. This doesn't cover my redness or blemishes that would've otherwise been covered by my normal foundation. Has SPF 15 and has a light consistency that reminds me of my Clean N Clear Moisturizer. It's not thick, at the same time doesn't run all over the place. For work - yes. For dates and outings with friends? A definite no-no.

9. Maybelline Line Stiletto Ultimate Precision Liquid Eyeliner in Blackest Black

Comparable to Loreal's Lineur Intense as they both have the exact same felt tip that makes drawing on the upperlids so easy! I wore this yesterday and it didn't flake or smudge on me like my gel liner did. And I was out for more than 7 hours! This was a surprise loveeeee. Color didnt fade and stayed true to first application. OMG. I love this.

10. Maybelline Superstay 24Hr Liquid Foundation in True Beige

I know alot of people swear by Revlon Colorstay and I thought it does cover really well! But I found that this does too, without the thick consistency that Revlon has. Everytime I pour out foundation onto my hand, I find Revlon dries up fast so it makes application very rushed for me. Maybelline's Superstay feels lighter and doesnt dry as fast when I pour it out. It doesn't have the plasticky smell Revlon has either. And the one thing why I love this is coz it matches my skintone perfectly as I don't have a matching shade from Revlon.
Why oh whyyy won't they bring this into Singaporeeee!

So that's all that I ordered~
Would've ordered so much more, except for the fact that drugstore.com requires a US credit card if I wanted to ship via VpostUSA but I was using my debit card. International shipping was ridiculous! It was like USD120 for 11 items! So I got these through Vconcierge that limits orders to only 10 items. Sighhh. I have to find a new avenue if I wanna order from that website again. Sprees maybe? We'll see...
