Hauls

Haul Photos!!! Woo-Hoo!! Nothing beats talking about my lovelies and nothing can get me down when I'm talking about them.... These are some of the purchases I've made during this period..

Warning: Picture heavy



Avene Soothing Moisture Mask x Centerpoint Guardian Pharmacy - 5 April 2010
Got this on the day that I went to my new company to sign the Letter of Appointment. And so, was able to recall the date that I got it. The lady was so zealous about recommending me use this product that I was embarassed to say "No". In addition, I do know that Avene have some really great products. Just that sometimes, I find the products too mild for my taste.























Franche Mineral Skincare Sample Set x My Beautician

I got this a week after I started on my new job. My office was going to have a major renovation and people were packing their stuff. The air was so dirty that I had a major outbreak of cystic pimples. So out of desparation, I went to my beautician for help. And all they did was gawked at my face and pushed this set of skincare to me right after my treatment.

I figured there was no excuse to not buy and since it's my first time encountering mineral skincare, my interest was piqued. However, I haven had the chance to actually try it. And the condition of my face now, it's much better than 2 weeks ago but it can be better.

The sample set in it's plastic bag.























The items taken out...




















The cleanser
























The Toner



















The Moisturizer



















The Phamplet



















Dior Nude Natural Glow Hydrating Foundation in 020 x Takashimaya

I had make the decision to buy a hydrating foundation. And so, this is not an impulse buy but an intended buy. After reading through the forums and raves by makeup gurus, I was deciding between Lunasol Water Cream Foundation and Dior. In the end, the superb service by Kline (Takashimaya Dior Counter) won me over and I went ahead to purchase the Dior one. I would still want to purchase the Lunasol one but I guess I'll wait till I'm finished with at least one more bottle of foundation before I make the purchase.


The pretty box that my foundation came in...






















The elegant glass bottle within...
























Of course, being Kline (kind), she gave me a sample of Diorsnow sunscreen in translucent. I so liked it that I decided to purchase the full-sized bottle.






















MAC 190 Foundation Brush x Isetan Scotts
My first MAC Brush!!! Yeah!!! Got this on the same day that I got the Dior Foundation. I have been comtemplating this brush for the longest time but I just couldn't bear to sink so much money on a brush. But my sister gave me some Isetan vouchers and I utilized the vouchers and ended up paying a lot less.

My MAC brush in it's pristine plastic protector...



















MAC Brush#190




















Fancl Calorie Limit Tea x Isetan
This is my absolute necessity. I drink whenever my ma buys fried fritters. Not to mention the nice taste which I've grown fond of. I also bought the Kale juice along with this purchase but the latter is something I would rather not mention. The taste is just not my cup of tea. Maybe I should dilute it further instead of following the 250ml guide.























Guerlain Meteorites 03 Beige Chic x Tangs - 23 April 2010
Ling got word from Beauterunway that Guerlain Meteorite was going at 50% discount @ Tangs as they are going to change packaging. Of course, being the kiasu singaporean that I am, I had to get one for myself. It's not every other day you have Guerlain giving this kind of discount for their products.

















































Haul x Metro 20% Storewide Sale - 23 April 2010
Metro was having a Storewide 20% sale and I headed over to Metro with Ling as I decided to purchase the full sized Clinique Take the Day Off since I had quite a good experienc with the sample product.

In addition, I was undecided whether I should get the Diorsnow sunscreen.

And below are my spoils for the day. Please ignore the Guerlain Meteorites as I bought from Tangs and not Metro.




















Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm
I had originally wanted to get the Bi-remover only to realise that the product is meant for Lips and Eye Color. Lol. In the end, the BA recommended me the the Balm, which can also be used for the eye area. I was a little put off by the packaging since I've to either dig in or to use a spatula. But in the end, I went ahead to buy it since I quite like the texture.



















Dior: Diorsnow Protection UV - Translucent
I got the sample pack for this product and I was pretty won over by the sample pack that I decided to get the full size.


Dior: Dior Addict - Lip Glow
This product was recommended to Ling by Kline of Takashimaya Dior Counter. The same day I was buying the Dior Foundation. In the end, Ling got it during the Metro Private Sale. I was very impressed by the effect that I decided to get one for myself too...

Dior: Rouge Dior - 264 Replenishing Lipcolor
This is totally an impulse buy as I was $1.00 short to being a Dior member. So Ling suggested lipcolor since I was just tellng her the other day that my sister commented that my lipgloss is too red for my pale skin. Plus, I quite like the color swatch.



















Of course, we mustn't forget the samples that the BA gave me. Sorry I didn't get her name but she's a very nice lady too. I do forsee that I'm visiting the Dior counter soon.
























Fancl x Bishan J8 - 27 April 2010
My face was lacking radiance and moisture. So, decided to drop by Fancl to get some "clean skincare" to help.

Below is the spoils photo:



















Skin Renewal Pack























Night Pack Cream


























Beauty Concentrate
GWP for Night Pack Cream.

























Facial Blotters
Another GWP. Not sure of the mechanics though...























That's all for now.... Review posts coming up...

GWP + Updates

It's been awhile since my last update. During this time, I started on a new job and those who are on my facebook probably would have known that it isn't really a walk in the park. I'm still trying to get settled down into the new environment.

So amidst all the chaos, I just wasn't able to find the energy to do reviews or post any photos.

Anyway, let's talk about happy things.. Got a few lovelies along the way but didn't get the chance to unwrap them until today. And yes, I promised myself that I wont spend anymore money on skincare. And so I rationalize that if I buy makeup and magazines that have GWP, it won't really count as spending money. Alright, it's kind of a cheat but I just cant resist.

There's alot to post and after a failed attemtp to squeeze everything into 1 post, I will post up the Magazines GWP first while the next one will focus on what I bought. >>>
Recently, there was an onslaught of magazines with great GWP. So being a passionate shopper, thanks to Ah Ling and Beaute-Runway for the great information, I was able to grab these hotcakes in time.

Amica x Nuxe

For the month of April 2010, Amica was giving away a full sized Nuxe Lotion Tonique Aux 3 Roses Toning Lotion (200ml) for every purchase of the magazine. This is definitely a great bargain!!! The Toner alone retails at SGD30++. I was so excited that I bought 3 sets. One for moi, one for my cousin and one, my cupboard?





















Singapore Tatler x Loccitane Olive Gift Set

For the month of April 2010, you get a Loccitane Olive Gift Set for every purchase of the Singapore Tatler. The gift set contains a 50ml Organic Olive Radiance Cleansing Foam, a 15ml Luminous Body Cream and a 75g Oliver Bar Soap. A great value given that the Singapore Tatler retails at SGD8.00 while the cleaning foam alone retails at SGD30++ for 100ml. Definitely great travel buddies to have. Not to mention the pretty box that I would like to use to store my stuff.
