I got this cleanser as a GWP recently when I bought some stuffs from my local IPSA counter.
I most definitely like this cleanser. The foam produced by this cleanser is definitely one of the softest I've used. I really like how my skin feels clean but yet not stripped of moisture. I will most probably purchase the full size once I finish using up other full size cleansers I have in my stash. A little goes a long way, I use about half a centremeter and its enough for my face and neck.
FYI, I have acne-prone, sensitive, dehydrated, combination skin (semi-oily T-zone and slightly dry cheeks).
Benefit Haul
Pampered myself with some makeup from Benefit in January this year, when benefitcosmetics.com was having a promo code for free international shipping for purchases US$115 and above in.
I have not tried any Benefit stuffs previously because I find that Benefit is quite overpriced at my local counters, so I was uber excited to finally lay my hands on some of their makeup!
The box is rather small and light as compared to those I usually get from Gmarket.
It arrived faster than expected! Reached my doorstep in less than 2 weeks and my goodies tightly packed. No items arrived smashed or broken and the packaging were in pristine condition.
My haul in their full glory!
I've got many many things (Haha, just kidding! Merely 6 items). One of it is the Ceaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in Recess. It is a neutral shade that blends into my skin and helps brighten up my lids. I am not loving these as they tend to crease in my inner corners. But the packaging is really cute though!
I found this at the BUH-BUYS corner and I cannot find this on the website anymore, my guess is that this shade might have been discontinued.
I also got a Realness of Concealness mini "fake-it" kit, which contains their top selling concealers and enhancers. I mainly got it because this kit consists miniatures of the famous High Beam which is a complexion enhancer, Lemon Aid a colour correcting eyelid primer and Boi-ing a concealer.
The kit also consists of Ooh La Lift an under-eye brightener and Lip Plump a lip primer. Too bad it doesn't have the famous Erase Paste. :(
I also managed to score a kit which has 3 cheek colours! So happy that I can try out 3 different cheek colours without buying 3 separate products!! This kit contains:-
- Hoola a bronzing powder
- Coralista, like its name is a coral blush
- Dallas a bronzer/blush
- a small brush
From the BUH-BUYS corner, I also got a Girls' Night In!! kit. This is a very value for money kit! I believe its still available at the website.
The kit consists of:-
- Talent Brush - shadow/liner synthetic-bristle brush
- Full-Finish Lipstick in Lady's Choice
- Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow/Liner in Birthday Suit
- Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow/Liner in Skinny Jeans
- plastic makeup bag with zip
- collectible mannequin magnets
On the website, Skinny Jeans is described as pretty pewter and Birthday Suit is described as brushed chrome. I have not tried them yet... Actually, besides the Creaseless Crease Shadow/Liner in Recess, I haven't try out the rest yet. The first-in-first-out rule. Hehe~
The useless magnets... :p
My three GWPs. A full-sized eyeshadow in Soft Shoulder, a sample of Dr Feel Good which is a complexion balm that helps to mattify shine and Erase Paste (yay!!!) a concealer.
I actually got two more lipsticks from the BUH-BUYS corner, a Full-Finish Lipstick in Passionista and a Silky Finish Lipstick in Fruit Cocktail which I gave to my mom as her birthday present.
I didn't really spend a lot on this haul as quite a few of the items were on sale and I didn't buy any other makeup that month.
P.S. I am currently on a point makeup ban (ie no blushers, no eye shadows, no lippies, no eyeliners) until mid September. My point makeup ban started beginning of this month and I am glad to say that I have resisted all temptations thrown in my way.
However, that does not mean that there wouldn't be any more haul posts as I still have some backlog to clear. Until then!!

Collective Haul
Here's a post of what I've bought over the past 6 months.
Some products from Kanebo when they were having direct 15% (or was it 20%?) off.
I got myself the Coffret D'or CM Eyes in 05 Beige-Black Mix. I have been lusting for this palette for ages! Finally caved in to temptation and brought it home with me! ^-^
Also from Coffret D'or, the JM Rouge in PK244, another item that I have been lusting after. I also got my 4th bottle of Blanchir Whitening Night Conditioner and a packet of pill masks.
The GWPs and samples I got. Some Blanchir skincare, Coffret D'or lip stick samples and a pretty nail polish.
There was a Tangs Bazaar Sales some months back, so I got some Phytomer body care products and a tube wash off eye mask.
A flat top brush from Sephora Professional. This brush is really very soft! I forgot what's the actual purpose of this brush but I use it as a blush brush.
The famous Kose Mask White was having a buy one get one free, so gotten get it!
This mask is wondrous! Apply some of this gooey black coloured mask generously on the skin (No, I didn't get the name wrong, this Mask White is actually black in colour! Ironic right?), remember to avoid smearing any on your eye area, hairline and eyebrows. Wait for about 20minutes for it to dry. And peel it of gently and you should be able to get your black heads on the mask. Disgusting as it sounds, I always inspect the mask for my blackheads! Lolx~ It feels victorious to see my clog pores being unclogged, if you get what I mean.
Remember to close back the pores with some toner !
I also bought some Dove cleansing products. A gofresh Self-foaming Facial Wash and a Lathering Oil Make-up Remover. The foaming cleanser is not really a favourite of mine as it leaves my face feeling tight and too squeaky clean. My favourite cleansers are H2O+ Marine Cleansing Gel and JoyceT Acne Solution Cleansing Gel, both leaves my skin feeling clean (not the squeaky kind of clean) and refreshed.
And lastly, some paper tapes I bought at Kinokuniya! I love to buy stationary, especially stickers!

Flats from Troiss + Inch
Did some shoes shopping sometime back (I think maybe 2 months ago or so) and I got myself 2 pairs of flats to wear to work.
Ever since I started working (close to) 2 years ago, I wore high heels to work. To me, a work outfit isn't complete without heels and also heels give me the much needed extra height (fyi I am only 155cm which is about 5 feet) :p
But ever since I slipped and fell down last year, my ankle have been giving me problems. I didn't twist it, didn't even sprain it during the fall, but my ankle just wasn't the way it used to be! If I put my weight on the injured leg, my ankle will start to throb. If I stand for a long time, my ankle will start to throb, if I wear heels, my ankle will start to throb some time in the afternoon, despite that I am seated down most of the time and I change to slippers at my work station.
On my doctor's advise, I got myself some flats to wear to work. But if I do wear skirts or dresses, I will wear my heels :x
The shoes look big don't they? I have a huge feet despite being petite. >.<
The insides are made of sheep linings so they are super comfy! The cutting of these flats are wide at the toes, so my toes aren't squeezed together. And soles of these flats are sp soft and well padded! I have never worn flats that feels as soft as these! But they didn't come cheap, but they are worth every cent!
