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.
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!!
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!
My dear friend went to Jeju for a holiday with her family during the last 2 weeks of December and she offered to help me buy some stuffs back~!! Sorry to trouble you and thank you so very much JH!!!! *muacks*
The shopping list I passed her only contained products from Skin Food, since it’s a long time since I have tried anything from Skin Food and I can pretty much getting stuffs from other brands from GMarket.
First up, let me introduce my new white bear (a birthday present from JH) from Jeju Teddy Bear Museum~! ^-^
Isn't she a cutie?! (JH decided that its a she because she is white in color) As stated on the tag, her name is Poddle Bear.
Moving on to the Skin Food stuffs I "ordered" *yipppeee~*
As you can see, I did not really ordered a lot of items! Barely filled one paper bag!
I stocked up on one of my favorite, Moisture Egg Hair Pack (6,000 Won).
I finally got the Orange & Mint Body Essence(7,700 Won)! My colleague gave a sample to try the other time and I really liked it!! I also got the Potato Pack (8,600 Won), which is supposed to be a soothing mask that takes care of sensitive and irritated skin.
I also got a Apple Can Multi Blusher (9,000 Won) in #2 and Coffee Creamy Color Fit Shadow (12,000 Won) in #2 and #4. The darkest color of #4 have fell out of its pan.. :~~(
For my ugly strawberry nose, I bought the Egg White Pack (4,500 Won) which contains 10 packets. 5 nose strips and 5 nose and chin strips. Nose and chin strips sounds interesting right?!
I got got myself 2 brushes from the Premium Touch range, Premium Touch Pearl Brush (12,000 Won) (which looks a little squashed -__-"") and a Premium Touch Point Shadow Brush (4,500 Won). Can't wait to use the brushes! They feel really soft!!
My GWP contains of a calendar and a few sachets of skincare samples!
Now that I have blogged about it, I can finally keep the Skin Food stuffs into my drawers! (They somehow became permanent residents of my floor)
This was actually hauled some time in October but I didn't have the time to crop the photos and blog about it. :x
In the month of October I think I actually hauled a lot of stuffs... My credit bill came last week and I almost fainted! x_x
See the black packages at the bottom right?? Those are actually tee shirts that I bought from a new seller (new as in I have never bought anythings from this seller not a new seller in Gmarket). The quality are pretty good but slightly too big for me.
I bought some cleansing tissues from Mamonde as I have almost used up my second pack of the Etude House cleansing tissues and I wanted to try something from Mamonde.
Mamonde is fronted by my favourite actress Han Ga In! So I must show support for her! ^^
I got the Happy & Smart Cleansing Tissues which contained 80 sheets! I don't really remember how much it cost me but it should be more than US$10 I suppose.
And I also got two baked eyeshadow trios from Etude. They look so pretty in the pan! Haven't swatched them yet... I have to follow my first-in-first out rule, so I have to use other eye shadows first. One thing I don't like is that it doesn't come with any applicators!
From Etude House, I got another of the oblique shading brush, the new Collagen Moistful Eye Cream and two more of my favourite Mild Cleansing Milk!
Frankly, I am absolutely disappointed with the Collagen Moistful Eye Cream! My eye make does not go on smoothly and it made my under eye make up patchy... :(
And I think I am allergic to it or something... Not that it stings my eye area or anything, the allergic "result" isn't that immediate. That's what so scary about it. I wake up in the mornings with red and puffy eye lids and the corner under my brow bone became rough... But the day I stopped using the redness and puffiness stopped. But the roughness is still there though... Think it might need some time before it "recovers"... :(
Moving on, these are my freebies~ However, they are of no use to me... The anti-aging range... Will be donated to my mother as part of her birthday present! Haha~~
I also got the Mamonde Total Solution Smart Moisture Eye Cream. Think it cost 22,000 Won?? ITs one of the more pricy items I bought this time. I caved in and bought it because of the words "smart moisture"... My eye area has been pretty dry of late...
I have not tried yet because of the "result" of the Etude House Collagen Moistful Eye Cream, letting my eye area recover first before I try any new stuffs.
The seller is very generous and gifted me with 5 freebies even though I only bought 1 item!~
Lastly, I bought more items from the brand amileamila. Buy 2 eyeliners and get a nail polish and lip gloss free.
Unfortunately, the eye liner (I tried only one, giving another one away as gift) is not waterproof.. Smudges in about 3 hours. However, I like that the eye liner is the automatic kind, saves the trouble of sharpening and the other side is the smudge tip!
Oooh! The lip gloss looks very very pretty in the tube! The color is PK03! Initially I wanted to give it away, but I really like this pink!!
