Collective Haul
Here's some stuffs I've hauled some time in May or June.
A couple of items from Shu Uemura.
A bottle of Lavender Mist Depsea Water which I keep in the office. A few spritz of it helps to hydrate my skin and also to keep myself awake! I also got the Glow On Blush in M44 which is a matte peachy colour. I have been lemming for this for ages!!
I received a $10 credit voucher with my previous purchase, so I got a powder foundation sponge (for backup) and a pack of facial cotton from Shiseido. I have read positive reviews about this facial cottons, so I got a pack for myself to try.
I don't know what's wrong with me these days, but I seemed to keep buying facial cottons!! I think that have like 6 packs of facial cottons lying around in my cupboard!!
Gotten another Ettusais Acne Nighttime Defense refill. This is a product I used nightly as the last step of my nighttime skincare routine. It helps to keep my face matte throughout the night.
From my local Sasa, I bought 9 pieces of Beauty Talk sheet, 7 pieces of Q10 and 2 pieces of Whitening. So far, I have only used the Q10 masks and they are real good! My skin feels more hydrated and bouncy-er. Another plus is that my skin did not react negatively, ie no redness, itchiness or breakouts.
Got a tube of ZA Concealer Perfection in shade 01 to conceal my dark eye circles. I use it together with my Canmake Color Stick in 07 Apricot. Just apply a thin layer of this Color Stick and pat to blend, then dot a few tiny dots of Concealer Perfection over it and pat to blend. Apply a little more of the Concealer Perfection if needed. And voila! My panda eyes disappears by 80%, my under eye area looks brighter! And not cakey at all!!
Frankly, I think all the concealers I bought work best at concealing my panda eyes when layered over this Color Stick!! I prefer using Canmake Color Stick to Bobbi Brown Corrector as I find the formula of the latter thicker and more drying.

Short Getaway to Bintan~!
Depending on what time you are reading this post now, I might be either on a ferry to Bintan or touring Bintan city or relaxing in the resort.
I booked a short holiday (a mere 3 days 2 nights) to recharge my batteries.
Just wanna show what stuffs I am bringing along on my trip. I have 3 bags of stuffs containing my daily essentials. I thought I can travel light but it seems like its not the case!!
The biggest bag of the 3 is the Gelato Pique bag which I got from a Japanese mook. In this bag contains my shower stuffs.
In this compartment, I have a sheet mask, tissue, cotton pads and cotton buds.
Over this side are my toothpaste, toothbrush, floss and contact lens stuffs.
And here are my shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, face cleansers, etc most of which are samples or GWPs.
The second biggest bag contains my skincare stuffs, some hair ties and my comb!
Most of the stuffs I brought are considered to be essential to my daily routine, like the Kanebo Blanchir toner, serums and moisturiser which are also samples or GWPs. The only full sized item I brought along is the Face Shop facial mist (almost used up) and the Ettusais Night Protect Powder which took up alot of space but it is also used up. I intend to finish using it up in Bintan and throw it away there.
The smallest but rather heavy bag contains my makeup! Did you think I will forget to bring some makeup along?!
I got this pouch as a GWP from Etude House.
Quite a lot of stuffs in this pouch are actually full sized items thus contributing to the heavy weight.
Not sure if you can see, I bought along some brushes, KATE mascara, Muji eye lash curler,Etude House lip tint, ZA concealer #01, #02, Clarins lip balm #03, KATE dual carats, KATE gel eyeliner BK-1, etc... Yar, I brought alot of makeup... :p Can't help it...
I also brought along Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunblock, a body sunblock with mosquito repellent, Clarins Lotus Oil and Etude House AC Clinic Red Spot Balm (I scooped some out and put it in an empty Kenzoki sample container).
Not featured here is my medicine pouch, which contains my nasal spray, antihistamine eye drop and some tummy ache medicines.
(Besides clothes) That's pretty much what I am bringing over there.. Seems like a lot right??! Heehee!
