Urban Decay Book Of Shadows IV

I haven't written this blog for a month. Finally, I got spare time and decided to share my experience about Urban Decay Book of Shadows IV. I would say that this Palette is amazing. You can get 16 shadows (10 new shades), 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner (full size), Supercurl Curling Mascara (travel size), Eyeshadow Primer Potion (travel size), a Card with 5 QR codes which you can scan with your phone and watch how-to videos, 1 portable mini speaker and USB cable.

- Perversion 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner (carbon black)


Well, I would say I love this set. It's value for money and you can try lots of things. I couldn't ask anymore and I would highly recommend Urban Decay Book of Shadows IV.  All colors are so pretty and pigmented. It's really fun to play with lots of eyeshadows. Scanned QR codes and you can also watch and learn how to videos. I'm sure you won't regret to have this one. Do let me know your opinion, whether you love it or leave it.

MAC Viva Glam Nicki lipstick

Ricky Martin and Nicki Minaj team up and introduced Viva Glam Nicki lipstick and Ricki lip conditioner for the charity, which every cent from the sale will goes toward to MAC AIDS Fund.
I'm so in love with Nick lipstick and can't wait to try it as soon as I saw the post on Temptalia. Luckily it just released in Singapore on 1st March 2012. Retail price is $28. As soon as I woke up this morning, I called to MAC counter and checked about this lipstick. MAC staff told me that it's already in store and confirm that price is $28. I went there in the evening and grab Nicki lipstick.
I don't know how many times I said that I'm so in love with this lipstick. It's bold, unique, daring and limited edition. The color is bright yellow pink with satin finish. I love it so much, it's wearable and last long for hours. But be careful if you have dry lips as it can highlight your lip's flaw, like chapped lip. If you have dry lips, it would be better to exfoliate your lips, put the lip balm first and then apply this lipstick.

Hope you guys enjoy the swatch and review. :)

Maybelline Lipstick swatches

I ordered Maybelline lipsticks last few weeks ago and finally I received my items. I got Maybelline Sensational lipcolor in Pink Please (025) and Maybelline Sensational High Shine lipstick in Pink Freeze (805). I'm so in love with these lipsticks color as they are so pretty and pigmented. As my opinion Pink Please is pale pink with matte finish but it doesn't dry out the lip. The color is so lovely and can use as everyday wear. As for Pink Freeze, it's a bright bubble gum pink with glossy shine finish. I really love both of them and can't say which one I prefer because both are so pretty and have different finish. OMG..I can't stop raving about them..lol..both look so pretty on my NC25 skin tone.

Left : Pink Freeze , Right : Pink Please

I would really recommend these lipstick to try as they are so lovely, pigmented and moisturized your lips as well.

Vanity Trove - February 2012

Today I received my February's Trove that I ordered from Vanity Trove . I was sleeping when postman knocked my door and passed this parcel to me. When I saw this parcel I know exactly that it's from Vanity Trove. As soon as I got this, there's no more sleepiness and can't wait to open my very first Trove.

 

They are so adorable. I love February's Trove Valentine theme. I got lots of products and gift vouchers. Here is the list of the items that I got from February's Trove :

1. OPI Nicki Minaj collection 2 minis nail polish, pink (Pink Friday) & glitter (Save Me).

2. Filthy Farmgirl Handmade Soap in Cheeky Ginger Citrus.

3. Mekhala Black Rick Shampoo and Conditioner.

4. Skin Inc Pure Repair+ Whitening Eye Mask.

5. 2 Sachets of Allerines Premium Tea : Spring Time & Dancing Flowers.

6. Accessories from RinseRose.com. ( There's a choice which one we would like to redeem).

7. 1 Gift Voucher from Skin Inc and 2 Discount Vouchers from www.thenatureskin.com.

As for an accessories I chose to redeem earring stud called Liz Claiborne. Two OPI minis bottles really matched with the Valentine Theme and I'm so in love with them. I'm not a person who like to wear nail polish but Vanity Trove introduced me with OPI Nicki Minaj collection.I swatch a pink(Pink Friday) on my ring finger, which is a bubblegum baby pink, and I was like OMG..!! it's so pretty. Then I put the glitter (Save me) over Pink Friday and I couldn't agree anymore that they both are really true match, compliment each other. There are 6 different colors in this collection and I got 2 out of 6. All in all, I'm so in love with Metallic 4 life, which is a silver small hex glitter in black base, and I made an order immediately. Well, February's Trove gives me a really sweet surprise and I'm looking forward to get some more in next month.

P.S>>  Metallic 4 life doesn't included in this box. It's from OPI Nicki Minaj collection.

Laneige Eyeshadow and Lipgloss

Last few days I went to Laneige sales at Raffles Robinson. The sales took only 2 days and I went there on the last day of the sales. The main reason I went there was, I wanna buy Laneige Water Bank Eye gel. But too bad, it wasn't included in the sales and could only available in Water Bank kit, which was just a tiny tube. So I decided to leave it and just browse around some cosmetic items. As it was a last day of sales there wasn't much choice, some lipsticks color were already gone. I only managed to get 2 items, eyeshadow and lip gloss.

When I saw that eyeshadow, I was sure that I need it because I wanted some highlight color. Their sales staff were really helpful and also help me to chose the items that I wanted. As for the shimmery highlight color, there were 3 options : gold, silver and pink. All of them are beautiful with just a hint of gold, silver and pink shimmer color. But I decided to grab the silver shimmery highlight color, called snow prism, because I think it's the best to use as a brow bone highlight color.
The eyeshadow packaging is cute and eyeshadow color is so pigmented.

After that the sales staff also introduced me with their lip gloss. I knew that the lip gloss color was pretty but the main thing that got my attention was that lip gloss contain 3 different colors in a glass tube. Isn't it interesting? It contains pink, pure gloss and peachy beige color. Each of the color is beautiful and when I mixed that all 3, the color that came out is so pretty. It's a peachy pink and really gorgeous. The texture is a bit thick. The color outside is way more pretty than the swatch.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour blush - Peaceful

Guess what? Today I received my parcel which I ordered Tarte Amazonian clay blush in Peaceful. I love this color, it's so beautiful peachy pink color with a hint of shimmer. It's more like peachy soft rose rather than pink color. Here is the description if you would like to know more details about Tarte Amazonian clay blush:

"Infused with Amazonian clay harvested from the banks of the Amazon River and naturally baked by the sun, this skin-intuitive blush universally bene ts all skin types for a fade-free, awless nish that lasts up to 12 hours. Oily skin? Amazonian clay minimizes oil in and around pores to balance skin and keep product in place. Dry skin? This nourishing clay hydrates skin naturally to restore moisture. Combination skin? Amazonian clay will intuitively identify your skin concerns and deliver benefits to restore harmony. " Well, I think it's amazing! It's really great for all skin type. Plus it's really pigmented and long wear for 12-hour. I bought this alone from Ebay because Peaceful is included in the set of " Tarte Glow Your Way to Gorgeous 8-pc Maracuja & Clay collection" which is available at QVC. When I checked the QVC website it's only left Tan & Dark  color Maracuja Creaseless Concealer, so I decided to buy it alone from ebay. Shipping is quite fast, I received  this item within 2 weeks of time. If you would like to buy Tarte cosmetic, you can order from USA, Canada &  Australia. Currently Singapore Sephora does not carry Tarte brand.  Now I currently owned 2 blushes from Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush, which are Peaceful and Glisten. I really love  them both. They are so pigmented and both have a hint of shimmer. First I thought their color would be similar but when I swatches both on my hand, I would confirm that they two are really different. Glisten is more pink in  color and Peaceful is warmer shade of peachy soft rose. Even though both have a hint of shimmer, I personally  think Glisten has more shimmery than Peaceful. Left: Peaceful, Right: Glisten Left: Peaceful, Right: Glisten <with flash> Left: Peaceful, Right: Glisten <without flash> The packaging is really cute and the compact color is same as the blush color. I found there's a small hole at the  bottom of the compact so you can use a pin to take it out as well. There are so many beauty gurus love it and rave about it. It really worth every penny and trust me you would never regret for buying Tarte Amazonian Clay blush.

Sephora haul

Last week I ordered Tarte Amazonian clay 12-hour blush in Glisten, Tarte for True blood LipSurgence, & Urban decay 24/7 glide on eye pencils mini set - Darks from Sephora. Seems like I was abit lucky because one of my friends from US is coming back to Singapore. So I asked my friend for help me to buy these things that I'm dying for.

I've read so many reviews about Tarte Amazonian 12-hour clay blush and so many people are raving about it. Plus it's the winner of Allure 2011 best of beauty award -Cheek. I was fell in love with Glisten as soon as I saw it. It's a peachy pink color with soft gold shimmer, really gorgeous and love it so much..!! Glisten is QVC exclusive but now available at Sephora. When I saw it at Sephora website I was so happy but too bad it was out of stock at that time. After a week later, I got an email alert from Sephora that Gliten is back in stock. At that time, I didn't think twice but decided to grab it asap.

Another one I ordered from Sephora is Tarte for True Blood LipSurgence which is limited edition and inspired by HBO series True Blood. In the picture it looks like deep red but when I swatch it on my hand it's rather pinkish red. It's mint-infused and I feel abit cool when I swatch it on my hand.

Last but not least, it's Urban Decay 24/7 glide on eye pencils mini set- Darks. These mini eye pencils are so cute.

I'll make a review about these products and provide swatches pictures on my next blog.

First day of blog

I wanted to write a blog for long time ago. As I've been busy with schooling, shopping & surfing nets, I've never got a chance to create my own blog. Today the wait is over! I've spent the whole day creating the blog and another Facebook page, which I decided to start my little own business as online shopping page. I'll also introduce with my Facebook online shopping page once I've finished creating that page. Here, in this blog I would like to share with my experience about shopping, fashion, and my lifestyle.

Have fun and stay tuned..!!
