    Got EVERYTHING and I'm so glad none ended up as lost mail! Note: This was bought before I became broke so I'm not being contradictory. Actually, these ARE the reason why I'm broke HAHA.

    From drugstore.com, I tompang my elder sister's order from a spree and got the 5pc Ecotools Travel Set. So soft and tiny~ I looooike.

    From Ebay, my biggest splurge to date! Juicy Couture's Black Velour Cellphone Case and the lanyard aka bronze chain is really heavy duty!
    Wallet from Fluff from Ebay seller too :)

    A bit sad that when I opened the package, I realised the wallet had came loose a little at the seams as you pictured below.

    Okayy! Happy time over, time to focus on surviving the month!

    Second item from ebay! ELF Blending Brush for $3.50 with free postage. See, I only get stuff on a bargain!
    Except for the upcoming two more packages....Which is probably the reason why I'm pretty much erm poor now -.-

    But I'm not regretting my two purchases, both of which I need. But also both of which I splurged on coz I could have gotten one that came with a lighter price tag.
    When the time comes, you'll see why.

    Heylooo!
    Went to watch Despicable Me in 3D like finally! With him.

    He didn't do his bellowing laugh much today and I felt the same, I kinda expected it to be funnier but it was okay nonetheless :) Agnes the littlest girl is so cute I want one of her! Hahaa. Now I just have to go watch Toy Story 3 to see if it lives up to my expectations (cheyy). Provided it's still showing. Sigh, I've really waited till the last minute to watch it havnt I?

    Anyhooo, I collected my spectacles on Friday after school. I'm so happy and I love it to bits! I hope I never lose it or subject it to accidental damage by someone's butt.

    I thought it was time to get quality spectacles for once and I got these Solvil Et Titus ones. They're kind of maroon coloured but more to the purple side than red and with the price I paid, they better last me a long time. Humph.

    And today at AMK while we were crossing the road, I saw this at the traffic light and I've never seen it being implemented anywhere else so I took a picture of it. How smart, they should do this everywhere in Singapore! We are facing an aging population!

    Basically if you have the senior citizen card and you require more time to cross the road when the green man is on, just tap your ezlink and the green man will stay on for longer to give you more time to cross the road. Brilliant!

    And something came in the mail from Ebay....

    A silver hollowed-ribbon anklet and it's really pretty! For only $2.00 plus shipping I think I got a good deal :) There was only one other bidder and I won yay!

    Expecting two other stuff from Ebay.....hope they come soon! Until then, be healthy!

    You know I love my makeup.
    And I died when my Travel Brush Kit got stolen.

    So I placed a second order to Sigma, this time for the full-sized original set. So that I can keep them at home without any chance of losing them again and suffer from extreme depression.

    After 2 weeks of anxiety, they came! In a mangled envelope with messy tape at one side no less.

    I should be thankful it didn't end up as lost mail, I take my rude words back.

    Packaging...

    The three brushes at the side came in a red mesh bag that I forgot to include. Bleh.

    So the ones in the black mesh bag are my 12-pc full-sized original set. The two similar ones with the handles are the Flat-Top Buffer Brush; one for me and one ordered by my colleague. Teeny one with the stubby stump is the Kabuki.

    Face brushes....

    Includes large powder, stippling, flat foundation and angled blush brush.

    Eye brushes.....

    Includes big shader, blending, shader, angled shader, concealer, pencil, angled liner and thin liner brush.

    and free with the set....the travel-sized SS217 which I adoreeeeee.

    I think Sigma acted on feedback about how some girls boycotted them. Refrained from buying their brushes because of the similarity to the MAC ones?

    I was surprised when I received the brushes, bcoz Sigma changed the brushes' numbering. Like previously the large powder brush was named the SS150? It's now called the F40. Same for the rest of the brushes, the face ones will have the letter 'F' at the front, while the eye brushed will have the letter 'E' before the numbers. A very good clever move I thought.

    I wasn't bothered by the names or whatnot. As long as the brushes remain soft and of good quality as I remembered them to be, I'm still a happy camper :)

    Im totally psyched!
    Tomorrow will be departure date FINALLY, and I hope I have a really good time there....though where we're going isn't far. Time to de-stress and shop my heart out, so we'll come back fully rejuvenated and I'll be ready to take on the rest of the semester.

    Today I went shopping with my little sister. And it's one of the most rewarding shopping trips EVERRR. Coz I bought stuff that I can't try on at the shop, and hope it fits? And when I came home and tried them on, they looked gorgeoussssss.

    Got 2 off-the-shoulder tops, one in grey and one in black..
    Shorts in a silky brown colour.
    A black spag top that I was sure wouldn't fit me but thankfully it did :)
    My first primer - Urban Decay Primer Potion.
    Wanted to get Too-Faced Shadow Insurance actually, but it was OOS.
    A couple of pretty earrings, 3 for $5...
    And I got the Essence of Beauty Duo Brush Set from Magical Tannsu at $20...Met her at Dhoby Ghaut. Coz I realise I can't travel without my makeup tools :(

    OH OH, and I got 2 zipped pouches, one for me and one for the bf coz we wanna put our money in there when we travel..And I got the prettiest silver elastic headband.
    Can't wait to wear them out!

    Saturday, January 9, 2010

    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...

    Counting down the hours! I've got 8 more hours to go before the whole family leaves for our holiday yay! Will be back on 14th late at night.

    Anyhoo, Cherry Culture is having a 20% off everything on the website so if you wanna get some cosmetics from Amuse, Milani, NYX (my loveeee), L.A Colours, L.A Girl, Princessa and a whole lot of other brands from the US, this is the time to get them. Offer ends on 15th December 11:59pm US time.
    www.cherryculture.com

    I won't be ordering just yet...Now that I've got my NYX fix, I'm obsessed with drugstore.com. What is it with online buying that's so exhilarating?! But I know how to budget myself..I always keep myself under a certain 'spend limit' if I do online shopping. Dawn is a smart little girl. HAHA.

    And just a little something-something to end this off with a laugh,



    Mie Yabi, Rasa Ayam Babi~

    50% Halal dok. Nikmattt!!! :D

    obviously photoshopped you guys, don't tag me asking if there's such a thing haha.

    NYX HAUL FROM CHERRY CULTURE.COM

    Ordered on the 16th, Shipped on the 19th, Received on the 30th.
    I think that's pretty reasonable.
    Package came in a small box...Mine didn't have the wordings "CHERRY CULTURE" all around the box like I thought it would have. Funny thing is, the shipping invoice estimated the box's value to be USD16. GRR I paid 7 times more than that! Lol. And the contents of the box was stated to be "Others : Art Supplies" HAHA. MAKEUP IS CONSIDERED ART SUPPLIES. And the box didn't have a shopping invoice inside...ohwell, everything came, all 19 items so I'm happy. And all in pristine condition! Thank god. Woooohoo.

    Most items were bubble-wrapped and all were hidden in layers of paper.
    Anyway, on to the items I got....

    - Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils in Milk and Pots N Pans
    Am not disappointed, youtubers were right! Very creamy and good for eyeshadow base.
    - Eyeshadow Brush #2
    Soft bristles and doesn't look cheapo at all, nice weight for the handle, good grip. I'm gonna love this.
    - Doll Eye Mascara: Long Lash-Black
    Have not used this yet, looking forward to. Came in a very prettily designed box :)

    - Loose Powder in California Tan
    Phew! Took a bet with this, luckily it matches my skin colour perfectly.
    - Sharpener
    Jumbo eyeshadow pencils are quite hard to sharpen, but not if you have this! :D

    (Picture taken with flash, sorry low quality)

    - Top: Powder Blush in Spice
    Quite a dark colour in the pan and when I swatched it. But after blending it out, it's a really pretty blush, leaning more to maroon than red. Shimmery.
    - From left to right middle: Single Eyeshadows in Black(matte), Dune(metallic), Highlight(matte) -From left to right bottom: Single Eyeshadows in Champagne(metallic), Eggplant(metallic)
    Oooooohhhhh pretty!! Highly pigmented, and so very cute! They come in a square pan that is not much larger than a 50cents coin. Blends out really well too. I'm definitely ordering more of these just coz I love their sizes!

    - From left to right: Black Label Series in Mahogani, Round Lipsticks in Thalia, Rea, Circe, MegaShine Lipgloss in Perfect Red, Smokey Look, Round Lipgloss in Whipped
    I don't wear red lipsticks, Mahogani and Perfect Red were ordered by my colleague.
    The round lipsticks are very creamy but staying power not too good. No awkward smell, glides on smoothly. My current favourite is Rea! I'm wearing it right now just coz I feel like it :P It's slightly darker than Circe. Circe is my exact skin colour, so i would have to layer on lipgloss coz it makes me look a little too ashy. Thalia will never go wrong, I think it suits every skin tone. The round lipsticks are wonderfulllll, definitely gonna expand my collection of em.

    I lovveeee my Smokey Look. It smells like cherry sorbet! Am gonna get more of these. The Whipped lipgloss smells a little funky, like lemon detergent...but really it's not that bad...

    --> Mahogani (colleague's), Thalia, Circe, Rea. *gushes*

    Can't wait for my next pay to come!
    You know I'll be ordering again :)

    Finally ordered my NYX stuff from Cherry Culture!

    FINALLY.

    Helped a friend to bring in two lippies as well but I'm absorbing pretty much all of the shipping charges.
    Tell me I'm a good friend? Yes I know I am lol.
    Can't wait for my loot to arrive, hopefully everything goes smoothly and the stuff comes in pristine condition.

    Now that I'v ordered, I'm kinda mellowed....coz my pocket is lighter by $150.

    GAHHHHHHH I can't believe I splurged like crazy this month! So much for wanting to save up for March. Well there's always the other few months to come, but I would definitely feel better if I already had a ready stash you know?

    -But I keep telling myself it's worth it-
    The Studio Finish Concealer was.
    So were the couple of lingerie items i got from Cotton On Body. (Bf says they're really cute and pretty! :D)
    And was the Maybelline Gel Liner.
    The Travel Straightening Iron was impulsive but I just know it won't disappoint.

    Couple of things i couldn't avoid like giving a couple of hundreds to my parents for the house bills....my mandatory insurance fee....the $70 to renew my passport...small things like stocking up the fridge at home and getting my little sister her shirt...

    Oh! Darn. -.-
    I just remembered I bought a pair of black croc-like sandals from Flip Flop at Bukit Panjang Plaza this evening.
