Bobbi Brown!!
I purposely took the day off on Monday to attend this "Pure Romance Workshop" by Bobbi Brown (BB) that was exclusive for UOB Cardmembers.
Priced at $150 per pax, which is fully redeemable for products, I shall not go into details of what other privileges I am offered..
Initially, I thought that I wouldn't be able to reach the $150 but ............. in the end, my total bill was an amazing $455!! *fainted*
Frankly, I've never spent so much on one single bill before (exclusion applied towards electronics). With the pre-paid of $150 and the $50 Takashimaya vouchers which I won at my Company's D&D, I still had to top up $255!!!!!!!! O_O
Here are what I exchanged with my $455 with...
I've gotten a new liquid foundation after 4 years (I think...) and its my first foundation since 2008... All along I prefer powder foundations over liquid foundations as the former seems to be less messy to use and easier to blend...
I bought the Skin Foundation SPF 15 ($71) which is the newest foundation by BB and its supposed to provide invisible coverage yet providing skin tone perfecting effect, also to be hydrating and long-wearing...
The shade I've gotten is Beige, which matched my skin tone rather perfectly... I have been using it for 5 days and I don't see any significant oxidization, but then again, its only been 5 days, so I cannot really comment on it yet...
I also gotten the Creamy Concealer Kit in Beige ($57) and the Corrector in Bisque ($41) to cover my panda eyes...
When you open the lid of the Creamy Concealer Kit , it reveals a small mirror and the concealer and you open the second lid, it reveals a small pot of loose powder for the eyes. :) And it also comes with a small powder puff (shown in the 2nd picture from the top).
You are supposed to apply the Corrector first to then the Creamy Concealer and lastly the loose powder to set... Alot of steps isn't it!?
Next up (and my final purchase), is the Deluxe Short Brush Set........... which cost me my arm and leg......... Its a whopping $286!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They better prove that they are worth the price......
Left to right: Ultra Fine Eye Liner, Eye Brow, Eye Shadow,
Concealer, Eye Shader, Face Blender and Foundation...*heartache* I wonder what possessed me on that day to make me so bold to spend my hard earned money so freely...
Thank goodness for such a thing called "Gift With Purchases" which soothe my heartache by a tiny whinny bit...
With a purchase of$250, you get a free Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Gunmental Shimmer Ink and a mini eyeliner brush in a clear plastic pouch. Not too sure if this shade is part of the permanent line...
If you spend above $350, a free Limited Edition (LE) Shimmering Nudes Palette (cost $89)
Left to right: Nude Beach, Nude Mist, Naked,
Nude Glow, Mica, Nude Spice and Espresso.Forgot all about these... The "amazing" door gifts... I was expecting something more that these......
$180 gift voucher @ THE ULTIMATE for if Body Massage or Face Spa
- Lip Gloss in Crystal
- Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks in Pink Truffle
- 10-step Beauty makeup instructions handbook
Initially, I had plotted to buy this 4 piece makeup fro Paul & Joe (at $80) at Isetan and Lunasol 10th year LE makeup palette... But if I were to buy these 2, I would have busted my budget for this month.... So I have to strike off one item from my list... :( boohoohoo...
