So...i got my April pay last week...(pretty late, i know)...and this was the pay i expected to be the most because it was that month that i OT-ed A LOT!!! and just as me & my colleague calculated, it was a lil less than 3 K... $2.8 :DD
and i promised myself that, i'd go high-end/luxuary shopping! The title tells it all...yes yes.. i spent a lot...i didn't feel the pinch because i still got 1 more pay to go, May's salary...hehehh!
i was actually blogging this yesterday night itself...but i was soooooooooo tired! i went to give tuition after i came back...ya, since i've stopped work last week.. i started giving tuition.. and i came home like a zombie! despite that, i did blog yesterday itself because i was soooooo excited about my products lah...and the fact that its been a few days since i blogged because my laptop kinda crashed! sometimes i can turn it on...and sometimes i can't...overheated? i guess so.. but good timing, its working! at least for now it is...
i took like 1 hour plus.. almost 2 hours to take pictures of them- with the boxes, without the boxes, in all sorts of angles...and then i sat down at 8.30 to blog...my god, uploading is a bloody hassle man! so many pictures and 1 by 1. Thank god i didn't have to edit any of them! 10.30 and i was done uploading, just the pictures alone! -.- then i thought, ARRRHH tmrw morning continue lah!
so here it is...
Takashimaya.

so...one day, maybe a week ago...i decided to STOP WEARING LIQUID FOUNDATION! why?? hmmm...i thought...too much no good lah! i'm working everyday...so i wear it everyday! poor skin, suffocating...can never breathe except for night times when i sleep...so i decided to try out powder foundations...i actually do have 1 now: ZA's 2-way kit, comes in a shiny pink rectangular box...heard and seen so many raves about it...yes, as heard and seen...it does a good job! no regrets on it...i love two-way kits, anytime i need more coverage i just dab my sponge into a lil water and the coverage is awesome!!!
Bobbi Brown

I've always been a fan of Bobbi Brown...but they are really expensive, MORE expensive than MAC! i own their Pot rouge(cream blush), Stick concealer, Eye corrector and Oil control lotion...so i decided to try their Cream-to-Powder foundation! and i'm in the shade Honey :DD

Oil-Free Even Finish Compact Foundation.
$69.00

comes with a sponge...
and i'm damn damn excited to try it... =)))
and then of course, off to Sephora!...

bought 3 items there...ya, only three items but it came $102! nope, not sad!! ;)The world's best concealer???

AMAZING Cosmetic's AMAZING CONCEALER!

i've seen so many make-up gurus on YT raving about this! and how, very little you need to use...cos its so thick but blends so well! and i'm in the color Tan.

i got the smaller one(6 ml) : $42
bigger one(12 ml) : $60+
actually by right...what i badly wanted was, Kat Von D's tattoo concealer...but sadly, Sephora doesn't carry this brand! and they also don't sell NARS! what kind of... sheesh..! well at least they have,
URBAN DECAY!!! <3

i've been wanting this for like ages!!! 24/7 Glide On eye pencil in Zero(black).

its actually like a crayon though...super creamy...and very black! $30

and i got one of their eye-shadows...

in Chopper! super pretty and shimmery... $30

i don't really spend time applying eye-shadows, or at least, i don't wish to spend a lot of time...unless its some grand functions...so i'd always prefer 1 wash of colour...and this colour, suits for everything!
i wanted Sin...but they didn't have it as an individual colour on its own...so the next closest was Chopper! still love it.

and how can one leave Ngee Ann City without going to MAC !?
seriously speaking...there was nothing i wanted to buy from MAC...i own their Foundation, Concealer, Charged Essence water, Retractable Eye pencil. There was nothing else i wanted..but then!! i remembered about my Urban Decay purchase...

so what goes best with the 24/7 Glide On???

well of course, CARBON Matte it is!!! $28
i've always been dying to try this combination! because UD's eye pencil is the best & the easiest liner to smudge...and the best shadow to smudge with, is MAC's carbon! and i have SaSa's pencil brush...

hmmm...maybe tmrw i'll do a post on my brush collection!
Prep & Prime
Again, i actually wanted their Matte Gel.. but its discontinued for like many years already...never used it before but heard Marlena rave about it...i'm currently using The Body Shop's Matte It Face gel...which I AM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH IT! but its finishing :( and i don't really see them in The Body Shop outlets anymore...well another close substitute & cheaper alternative i found, would be Revlon's smoothing primer..haven't try it though...
but this, unlike other primers...not only it fills in the pores, so the application of foundation would be smoother but, its also a treatment to REDUCE pores!

Mascara!!! Is something i diligently throw it away after 6 months of use, regardless whether it's finished or not...so getting a high-end one, is not worthy! and trust me, drugstores ones work just as well as the high-end ones! although i have tried MAC's Opulash last year...
and these, i got them last week at Watsons.. so i got to try them out!
Maybelline's (aka King of Mascaras) Stiletto.
Does an awesome job of lengthening...but volume sucks...well thats ok, it wasn't meant to give a dramatic volume anyway!
Rimmel!
i don't really buy their products...but this was another thing that was highly raved in YT! so i had to try it out...
so you know what i did? i used both at the same time... 2 coats: 1st coat of Sexy Curves for volume and 2nd coat of Stiletto for lengthening! be careful, it will clump if you get greedy...
so these precious, are my newest products...practically its a whole face set- from Skincare to Foundation to Concealer to Eye-shadows to Eye liner to Mascara.and as i was arranging them...i dug out these two below...lol! i kinda forgot they existed...heheh!
well the 120 eye-shadow pallet, that i remembered it existed! because i do use it...but recently haven't been...i got these both early last year... i bought them online and it was delivered to my house...BOTH was smthg i was dying for! you know...theres an occasion, you're wearing a suit with multiple colurs...and you need colours that match your suit...and i'm a person who never gets individual eye-shadows except for black, gold, silver those kind of versatile colors! i own like what, 4 individual shadows only...so the 120 colours pallet was something i thought would save a lot of money! so i got it... :DD but sadly, its sleeping...lol

ya, the concealer pallet was something i really wanted as well, because of the wide variety of colours and the different correctors for various uses...like theres a White (for highlighting), Green (for redness) and Lavender (for brightening).
sad thing is, why i don't really use them is because they are not as creamy...its ok, not that bad! but err...its difficult to apply though...and with my Amazing cosmetic's concealer, i don't think i'd look back at this! but ok i promise, i'll try (keyword being TRY) to use them more frequently now!
and this! i have no problem using it more often...quality is simply superb! no complains.instead of waiting for another occassion/function to come by...i'll start experimenting with it! :)
~ 10.00 am
The date is messed up at the the title.. its 7 June today!
