Cosmetics




smoothing makeup base, skin fusing foundation and foundation casing & sponge from Lunasol (bought from Kanebo counter in Takashimaya).. love them! the sponge alone cost me $8.. but its totally worth it! its super super soft, you really pay for what you get!

the makeup base covers the pores and makes the skin smooth... the powder foundation is very fine and covers up the pores! some scars are not covered up by the foundation and i think its because i only use very little foundation. loving them all!

special thanks to my BF who sponsered for the foundation (only ;p)..... hehe... i think i only paid like $10 for everything.. because i have taka vouchers~~

the gift with purchse from Kanebo.. the new whitening range..





lip stick and compact powder from Kiss, this is a drug store brand that is only available in Japan and Taiwan.. i love their base & top coat! i have them CP-ed from an angel in Japan. ^o^

cannot do a review on the 2 products yet, because i have not tried them out.. the packaging is too pretty!! i can't bare to use them.. i have a weakness for pink and cute stuffs!

*CP - custom purchase




my first product from Excel (left), from Japan drugstore.. not opened yet..

also my first product from Bourjois (right) from the les nudes range.. there's many raves about the lip gloss from this range... but i don't like the scent.. too strong... color-wise, like the range name suggested, is nude, very slight hint of color. can easily match any clothes or makeup you are wearing.. (bought locally at Watsons after 20% discount)





Canmake loose cheeks in #02 & #03 (bought locally from Guardian), 2 eyeliners (black & brown) (CP-ed) and cheek graduation (orange) (also CP-ed).

so far i only opened/used the loose cheeks in #02 (which is rose pink, #03 is orange). its not very pigmented, have to lay on to achieve the "pinkness" that i want, but the good thing is its very easy to control the color, its long lasting and natural! the powder is quite smooth and the packaging is super cute!! i looooove the puff!!






elephant-shaped makeup kit from Pupa.. consists of 1 cream eyeshadow and 2 lipglosses.. comes with a mirror too!! isit it cute?! there's also sheep-shaped and rabbit-shapped makeup kit too! but i controlled myself and only bought this! (btw, i spotted them near the cashier at Metro Paragon)

the red lip gloss isn't very pigmented, only gives lips a hint of color, very natural! the light pink lip gloss is very very glossy! i use it as a top coat on top of the red gloss! gives a pouty look! very kissable.. muahahaha..

the grey cream shadow...... i don't really like it that much.. very hard to pick up with brush.. easier to use fingers to pick up the color and blend.. too dry to be considered cream, too wet to be considered powder...


Nails

Ettusais vacances nail color (mini nail polish 5ml) (bought locally)


Skincare



ICM witch hazel water which i use as toner.. smelly but very very good! works better than my $30+ Origins toner! cost less than $5 from Unity!

mild cleansing oil from Fancl. my staple makeup remover for the past year! even removes waterproof mascara!! didn't pay anything for them.. used my Fancl vouchers!

Avene gel cleanser and emulsion, bought from Guardian during the 20% discount.. ^-^ only started using them yesterday.. so not much to comment about yet.... but as for now, no breakouts..


despite the many many things i bought above, it cost me a mini-bomb... luckily most of the items are drugstore brands... like Canmake, the eyeliners only cost $4+ after converting to SGD... and i like Canmake's $10++ blushers more than my expensive Clinique/Biotherm/Elizabeth Arden blushers!

all the drugstore cosmetics cost less than $24.. :P
