collective haul #1

yesss!! i bought things again..~~ ^-^ i love shopping!! yesterday was a great day for me, my friend/colleague came down to the office to pass me clothes from the yahoo auction that i bought some weeks back, i had very nice (and free) sandwiches and i met up with bf for dinner and i managed to buy some great stuffs~! enough of my ramblings, here's the pics~!

first up, NYX eyeshadow singles and lipstick.

(clockwise left to right: ES 154 Volcano, ES 90 Sombra Ombre, BL 52 Peach Love)





this is the first time i bought NYX stuffs, i have tried them, and they are pretty decent. nice color payoff but i don't really like the smell of the lipstick, it has the cheap and artificial smell to it. but when applied to the lips, the smell is negligible. I bought them from Guardian Vivo City when they were on 20% discount. The eye shadow cost me $9.90 each and the lipstick was $13.90. frankly speaking, though they are rather affordable, I don’t think I’ll get them again because, i prefer makeup Japanese brands. :x i’m bias.

i also bought some skincare from Organic Surge. prior to buying, i have never heard of this brand and apparently, they are from the UK. and as to how organic are they? i have absolutely no idea!

for skincare, there is only 1 range called the "Pure Extracts", which is for all skin types. of the 5 items i saw on the shelves, i bought 2, the refreshing toner ($18.90) and the blissful moisturiser ($23.90).


the smell of the skincare range is great!! it is the spa-ish smell that i favour!! nice and relaxing. both products goes on light, absorbs fast and non-greasy. the moisturiser is those gel-cream type which is just ok for my combination skin, but (in my humble opinion), it might be a tad greasy for oily skin and not rich enough for dry skin.

i tried them yesterday night and luckily (touch wood), there are no adverse reactions as yet, and my skin feels smooth, soft and hydrated. i'll need to try for at least one more week before reaching a more conclusive conclusion!! hopefully, no breakouts and only nice, clear, soft, bouncy skin!! *cross fingers*

think i might want to try the face scrub and mask too.... there's also the bath & body and hand & body range... mmmm... www.organicsurge.com

next up, my HG pimple buster. i have to thank it for helping "deflate" my pimples after having a bad breakout last month, which became worst after inadequate sleep and imbalance diet (due to my grandpa's 5 days funeral wake).

Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Oil, my saviour. :x i took the plunge and bought the 50ml bottle for $31.55. x_x expensive for a bottle of oil... previously, i bought the 10ml bottle ($10.80) and after doing my maths, a dummy would realise the 50ml bottle would be more cost worth it, especially with my heavy usage, i so went ahead and bought it. hopefully, it can last me till the end of this year.

both the Organic Surge and tea tree oil were bought from Guardian Vivo City, but i suppose they will be available at other Guardian outlets too.

some freebie that i got~

2 days supply of Clinique 3-step skin care sample kit!


the sample kit i have got is for oily skin. they came in a nice sturdy paper box and the skin care samples are nicely presented in a card. 1 button for each use, no more estimation of how much product to use each time, just use all that is available in that button. fuss-free and hygienic. i like~!


Step 1: Liquid Facial Soap

Step 2: Clarifying Moisture Lotion 3

Step 3: Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

that's all~~
