Update and Haul

A week ago I went to the Philippines and Hong Kong. Christmas in these Asian countries just feel more like Christmas because of the ways they decorate their shopping centres and tourist attractions. I will break my trip into several posts just to keep the posts short and sweet. For the first post about my holidays I will do a beauty haul. I got everything from SaSa, Bonjour or Colourmix. These are all beauty stockists in Hong Kong with products arranging from drug store brands to high end brands. I found that some SaSas will stock a certain brand while some others didn't.

I got mix of nail polish, a Kiss Me eyelash serum, Shiseido Tsubaki hair treatment waters (really love using theses), mixed eyeliners, Kanebo KATE eyeshadow palettes, hair masks from Kao ESSENTIAL, mascara, BB cream, MAC lipstick (in Russian Red and Creme D Nude), Majolica Majorca Puff de Cheek in the orange shade, sunscreen, a box of My Beauty Diary face masks and a ZA two way face palette. Just stocking up on my favourite items and trying some new items that I can't get/overpriced online or not available in Australia.

The Hello Kitty nail polish is recommended for gradient nails and the Marcia and sasatinnie polish were 2 for $10 HKD.

I love the ESSENTIAL hair masks, I'm using the orange packaged one now but I prefer the Nuance Airy line. I use Tsubaki water to maintain the moisture levels in my hair. 

KATE palettes, the pigmentation in these are really good! I will do a detailed review on these soon and for some other product I've bought. 

Hope everyone is beating the Christmas rush and buying their presents early! Mine is all bought and wrapped. Hate finding car park space during these times. 

Canmake Melty Nude Lipstick Swatches

Today I'm depressed =( I studied so hard for my exams but I think I failed, hence my absence from blogspot. But... I'm posting today to cheer me up a bit =]


Awhile ago I took 'swatches' for the Canmake Melty Nude lipsticks. This is what they look on me (sorry I have a bit of baby hairs on my upper lip...didn't have foundation on...plus I don't have photoshop to blur it =P. lol)

Bare Lips

Baby Pink

Creamy Nude

Baby Beige

Realistically Baby Beige is lighter than creamy nude.

Pro: Nice Colours

Affordable

Slight Moisturisation

Cons: Actual lipstick came out of the packaging =(

Hard to get outside of Asia

Canmake Haul and some Japanese Magazines

Enter My Giveaway!! Simply follow ^_^


Today I went to the airport to pick my friend up who went to Japan...EPIC-EST FAIL! I was a tad late but he didn't wait =( also he had no phone and my phone battery eventually died. So for over 2 hours I drove around and walked around the airport searching for him...then I gave up and rushed home. I charged my phone and immediately called his home...phew...he got home safe...POINT...make sure things are well organised and be prepared for "what ifs" when you go pick up a friend from the airport when their phone is broken T_T


But anyways...he got me lots of Canmake goodies ^_^ and 2 of my favourite magazines...ViVi and CanCam!! CanCam is my style...very soft and elegant fashion. I love the make-up in both ViVi and CanCam because they aren't as over the top as Ranzuki and Popteen. But he got me Popteen too...just that he was over the weight limit and needed to post it. 

November Issue of ViVi came with free Snidel bag. Its black faux fur with a golden chain.

November Issue of CanCam came with Anteprima Misto B5 sized bag...not too sure what to use it for.

All the make up I chose are from Canmake

 Lycee Eye Drops and Lycee Eye Wash. My eyes are always irritated ='(

Also got some super cute Hello Kitty stationery (^-^)v
