The End of my Shopping Spree



Urban Decay: Naked Palette. Finally got my hands on this and I haven't tried it yet but it looks promising! My cousin got this too and she said she uses it everyday! I must see for myself how to create different looks from this palette.

Hydra Mar: Antioxidant C Eye Gel. So far, no major improvements to my undereyes, but it gives it a luminous and shine to my skin. Feels lightweight but I don't really see any results. Nonetheless, I'm a sucker for anything with "vitamin C".

The Body Shop mini body butter in Cocoa Butter. I bought this as a hand cream to put in my purse! Since it's the winter time, my hands are brutally chapped and gross so body butter and hand cream is vital! I got to try this out sometime!


Nivea: Light Regenerating Night Care Cream. I needed a new moisturizer and this was on sale! Sooo why not?


Clinique Dramatically Different moisturizing gel with the pump! Wooo I've heard great things about this from my family members and I love gel products! Although my skin is dry-combination right now, I will definitely opt for this in spring/summer months! I want to try this out to see why it's worth the hefty price tag!

Pond's Bio-hydrante Fresh Light Cream. This is my current face moisturizer. It's a light-weight lotion, however, it moisturizes my skin during this time of year. It is a lot of product for the price, and it smells fresh. It works on my sensitive-combo skin and so far, I like it. But, it's not something I would re-purchase or run out to get. Not HG material but still fairly good.

Clean Provence Eau du Parfum in Fine French milled Soap. I almost peed my pants when I saw this in the clearance section! I have been looking for this perfume line for 2 months! I love clean, light, fresh scents and this is definitely a winner! I love the Clean provence brand and I was soo happy when I found this! Mission...accomplished.

Haulage continued


Fabulous packaging!

Nars powder foundation in Medium Santa Fe





Benefit luminescent complexion enhancer in High Beam! I love this stuff! It's a pearly pink colour which perfectly reflects light and gives the most luminous glow! Pricey product at $30 but it's texture and effect is one of a kind.

E.l.f. Liquid eyeliner in Black. hmmmm..cheapo makeup, I must try!


left to right: Revlon Matte lipstick, Revlon Colourburst lipstick, Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick


Colours: Revlon Matte lipstick in Smoked Peach, Revlon Colourburst lipstick in Peach, and Revlon Super Lustrous in Primrose. YAY!



Revlon Colourburst lipstick


Colour: Soft Nude. One of my favourite nude lipsticks! It is a neutral toned nude-pink colour! Glossy finish and smooth to apply! I have a backup too. Packaging is very classy and sleek





Oh yes, there is more....
Maybelline Full n' Soft mascara in Very Black

Urban Decay Primer Potion, the original one. I needed a new one and thus, I has a new one! Love this stuff! Saves my life.

Sleek Makeup Ink Pot in Domanatrix. My brother got me this in London! woohoo. It is a black gel liner! I wear eyeliner everyday, and I wanted to try gel liners. This better be awesome.

Maybelline Eye Studio Gel liner in Black.

Tried this out yesterday! Formula is super easy to apply, smooth, and pigmented. I think I like gel liners now! New makeup venture=success

Collective Haul continued.

And the hauling continues:




It has a blend of yellow, green, blue and pink to neutralize imperfections. I'll have to put it to the test some time. P.S. THE PACKAGING LOOKS NICE!

E.l.f. studio Tone Correcting powder. Just another compact powder I got to set my makeup with for on-the-go touch ups.


Wet n' Wild 8 colour palette in Blue had me at Hello. Rarely wear blues, but this caught my eye! The silver and blue/marine shades look like they'll make my asian eyes stand out.


Wet n' Wild 8 colour palette in Comfort Zone. These are more of the shades I tend to prefer, and I hardly have any brown/warm toned eyeshadows! I was really in to greens and olives these past couple of months of autumn. Can't wait to try this out!


Maybelline Chic Naturals quad in Mocha Motion. I don't have many taupe or charcoal/slate colour eyeshadows! Looks very neutral and versatile, and the price was just right!

Maybelline SuperStay 24 concealer in Cream
I plan on using this on my blemishes and scars, woohoo liquid formula concealers are are fave. Easy to apply, easy to travel with, formula is typically nice to blend.

Collective Haul




Rimmel Clean Finish foundation in 340 Nude


Rimmel Match Perfection foundation in 130 True Ivory. I have already tried this, and I really love it! Great for normal-dry skin individuals! It really "matches" and "adjusts" to your skin tone and provides a natural semi-matte finish with a slight glow from "within" look.


MAC Satin lipstick in Captive. I have tried this once before and the colour does not look like that, the flash gave a more "hot pink/magenta" look to it than it really is. It is a medium-dark cranberry colour.





Sleek Sunset Palette






Sleek Au Naturel Palette





Sleek Storm Palette

This is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind-Eraser Dark Circles concealer in Light
Can't wait to try this for my dark undereye circles! boohoo exam season is coming up, cramming to finish all my projects, and failed attempts at studying. This was made for me and all those other students out there!




Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Beige. I plan to use this as a setting powder for my foundation or BB cream. Remove Formatting from selection

Just a continuation of my long collective haul. More is to come! Have you tried any of these products! Please comment below to tell me your thoughts, ideas, and opinions.
