Graduation Haul: Part 2 - Innisfree Eco Nail Color Review

Here goes part II:

Apart from MAC, I've went to this store that says "WE IMPORT MAKEUP FROM KOREA"... ok maybe not the exact words, but well all the stuff r from korea..so i went in and bought a few things :))

First off, the NEWEST, COOLEST, PRETTIEST nail polish this summer! INNISFREE'S ECO NAIL COLOR POLISH!!!

I was like "I NEED THIS" when i saw it the first time!! I am not a very glittery person but this is just sooo cute for the summer!

So colours are as follow:
81 - Spring Strawberry Yogurt
82 - Spring Green Tea Yogurt
83 - Herb Yogurt
84 - Mint Yogurt
85 - Raspberry Yogurt

Don't the names sound SUPER Jello & Yummy? Yes, but dun be a retard like me... dunno wts rong with me the other day, after reading the colour names...i went and SNIFF the nail polish == DAFUQ? Lol, n it still has tht horrible nail polish smell...so yeah...paint ur nails with it just don't sniff it!

 I bought 81 and 84, my fav colours - pink n blue.I saw a few pictures of the nail polish and they look like jello / plastic / SHINee shiny just super edible. At first I dunno if its me that sucks at painting nails or my nails are just too short, they dun look as good (sad face)...but I realise u need at LEAST 4 layers to get that solid jelly like sweet colour!!! Heres the difference with different layers:
Bottom up: 2layers, 1layer, 3layers

Bottom up: 1layer, 2, 3 & 4 layers :)

Definitely recommend getting this nail polish but i guess you just need to apply more layers! Wish I have longer nails to paint :(( will def look prettier >3<"

Well, there you go... my Part II Makeup Haul. This is the end of the Makeup part of Haul but the HAUL BLOGs are not over!! ONE MORE COMING :) Will link u soon <3 Heading to bed~




Luff,

Graduation Haul: Part 1 - MAC Makeup Review



*Congratulation and Celebrations* Just got all my grades back and I can finally GRADUATE!!

With this excuse reason in mind, I went shopping for 3 days straight..CRAZY MODE. Okay, tbh, I didn't buy A LOT, but everything i bought were not cheap..and therefore, I am currently SUPER broke :(

Apart from sharing my reviews of the products I bought, its also a record to show myself what I've bought! I don't know if its only me, but if you lay out everything you bought, you would realize "shit, I think I've bought too much, okay time to stop"... if not, lol this crazy shopping mode is gonna go on and on and on....

So for Part I, I'm gonna show you what I've bought in MAC (and a few other korean makeup stuff)! :D



I actually never owned ANYTHING from MAC so I am super excited that I bought these 2 things. Well they are:

Hey, Sailor! Bronzing  Powder
Colour: Refined Golden



Was looking for bronzer cause I have full bangs now, although people say it makes ur face smaller, I think my fat got rounder so I need bronzer to give that slimmer face illusion. Walked into MAC, asking the person which colour I should pick and she was like...*drag* look at the new ones..comeeeee *drag* So she helped me try out the colours and I ended up picking a darker dark shade (does that even make sense), cause I want a more obvious effect and I dunno, I would rather go darker than lighter...I mean u can at least see a little effect.
love the packaging :) so pretty <3
Refined Golden :)
Well Refined Golden is not really a new colour.. but the packaging is :P My friend uses Golden and its definitely lighter than Refined Golden.


Don't get freaked out by the glitter you see in the bronzer. I was super scared by the glitters in the shop and the sales GUARANTEED that is is barely noticeable and  if you have bad eye sight or simply just dun pay attention...its just another plain bronzer. But according to professionals, these tiny glitters make you skin look less dry and more dewy :)) 
 Swatches under different lightings:
yellow light

white light

with flash

Mineralize Foundation / Loose
Colour: Light

I used to use Makup Forever's Duo Mat Powder Foundation but then I ran out. It has super good coverage and fairly good oil control, but a bit thick. I was gonna go back and buy another one, but really want to try something new. So I've got persuaded by the sales to get the mineralize foundation.

I asked "what's the differences between the compact one and the loose one?" He said it has more coverage so I decided to go for the loose one cause i NEED all the coverage you can give me to hide my acne spots and scars.

The bad thing about this new packaging is THERE IS NO SPONGE! Damn annoying, have to put my own cheap sponge in it so the powder won't fly out if I carry it around.


The texture is smooth and its very very light and not cakey at all. But to be honest, i DO NOT see coverage compared to my makeup forever one... I can still see my spots peeking through :((( Overall its not bad, but hahaha i kinda wanna go back to my makeup forever duo mat foundation :P

So that's all I bought in MAC <3 god, I m so IN LOVE with their packaging...soo pretty (apart from the fact tht they dun gimme a sponge *aargh*)!! Will continue on next blog, cyaaaa~

[Review] * My JUNE Glamabox *

YEAH :))) My June Glamabox is here <3 I seriously love this little supprise gift i pay for myself every month! (forever alone>3<") Anyway, lets just get straight into it this month~~

 I was thinking this month might be "FATHER'S DAY" theme...hahaha, but sorry dads, u r not included XD This month, its SUMMER theme :) and when you open the box, u will see a change on both the papers n the wrapping paper...instead of pink, it is now ORANGE! It looks and made me feel super REFRESHING....(no idea why) but its a nice change :)
So there are 5 products in the glamabox this month, and I will be super honest with u....i literally SCREAMED of excitement when I opened the box and saw PROACTIV! OMG! I have been wanting to try it for SOOOOOO long, but never had time / remember to get it and HA! Another reason why i LOVE glamabox, so here are the details of this month's box :
 1. Prodigy Advanced Skin Lightening Face Cream ($514)
Woah...such a fancy n expensive cream. Its suppose to lighten all the dark spots and even out uneven skin tone! I m gonna keep rubbing this into my skin...and try to get rid of all my acne scars!
 2. Copa Cabbana Pomelo with Aloe Vera and Vitamin C Face Mask
I dunno, but I am not a HUGE fan of these little packs of macks, I mean it is moisturizing and all, but it really doesn't do much unless i have 10 packs and use it everyday....but at least i guess my skin had a boost.. :)
 3. Proactiv Refining Mask
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOM!!! I M SUPER EXCITED! So i tried this like 30 mins ago, well it didn't work like MAGIC (duh) and reduce all my red bumps pimple, but OMG it does hurt less now, still red but i guess a TINY bit smaller. Although after i wash it off....it is actually pretty dry! And it smells weird. I dunno, I think i will still keep using it and use the coupon to get more products and try....since my acne is still here might as well try sth! (WILL UPDATE MY BLOG ABOUT THIS PRODUCT SEPARATELY)


 4. Dr. Ci: Labo Aqua Collagen Gel Enrich Lift Ex
Hm...not particularly exciting about this tbh, but WOAH! 1 jar finished 5 steps of skin care I LIKE how tht sounds....
 5. Ocean Potion Anti-aging Sunblock Lotion
This thing looks SUPER ADORABLE! hahaha love the colour! doesn't smell too bad! or too sticky! Will bring with me to SINGAPORE <3

Woah, that's it! Will update after I've tried these products more times....! I doubt there will be any WOAH diff after using once! AND SHARE WITH ME WHAT U GOT <3

Gonna go do CRAZY shopping tomorrow! might do a haul blog :P so cya tomorrow <3<3

Nite luffs,

[Review] * My May Glamabox *

Recently a few friends were talking about these subscription beauty boxes / bags and they were researching what were available around us and comparing which one is good. So since I've been subscribed to Glamabox for the 5th month now, was thinking why not I share with you guys what's in this month's (may) glamabox & lure them into subscribing to glamabox! (darn, I should get some commission for getting so many ppl subing to them!!!!)

Anyway, this glamabox is totally fresh and hot news since i got it like 3 hours ago! I woke up and this black box with the actual glamabox in it was already sitting on my table :)))  No, darlings, they do not deliver them to ur table, my helper delivered it from the door to my room! Anyway, since i just got this month's (may) glamabox, can't really do the products review straight away coz I only have one face, one stomach and one head. BUT I promise to update this blog with reviews on all the products in this glamabox after I've tried it :))

So without further ado, here's may 2012 glamabox review (dumrollllll....)

Staring from Jan (I think), they've added in a tightly cardboard warp around our boxes and have FINALLY standardized the size of the boxes! Made my life so much easier when storing them!
Will show you what I do with my boxes later <3

The actual glamabox - with 2 of my favorite colours: Pink and Black

This month's theme is MOTHER'S DAY (thxs for the reminder, dun even remember. since May is the EXAM MOTH for me)

These are the actual products -
1) Kerasys Repairing Shampoo & Conditioner

This is one of the "I NEED TO TRY THIS NOW" and runs into the shower product! I have been wanting to try this ever since I studied in korea! But since they only have those HUGE ones and I only have like 2 weeks left there, I didn't end up buying it :(( But hey! now i get to try it and remember abt it! This is the beauty of Glamabox :) Oh, I'll tell you how the "repairing" goes, cause I have the worst damaged hair ever! best hair model to try it on :P

2) Talika Bio-Enzyme Renaissance Mask (Anti-aging)

The same brand where we had the tooth whitening and lip volume up pen! hahahaha, tht thing didn't really work on me....I had to go back with whitening stripes or just brush my teeth like 5 times a day :P Well I got the anti-aging one, which is suppose to reduce fine-lines. Well don't really have fine lines apart from my eye area, so I'll give tht to my mum and she'll get back to u XDDD (doubt one mask is gonna make any differences)

3) Caviar extract Anti-Aging Essence

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY ANTI-AGING STUFF?! (RAWRRRR). All the ones from last month are still stuck in my drawer! Well this one has a cool packaging so its staying with ME! :D And its suppose to stimulate collagen~ hm..... okay, next

4) Shea Organics She Body Butter

I LOVE SHEA BUTTERS :)) This one says Mother & Baby.... Whhhhaaat?? not a mother nor a baby so.. whatever *open* *sniff*...... right..this thing must be natural or organic, lol its smells, RAW & WOODY! LOL, doesn't have the body shop body butter smell but i tried it although it says store under 25 degrees and erm its 32 degrees here.... Tried it on my legs and its NOT STICKY AT ALL and absorbs very fast. Definitely gonna use this thing when its not above 25 degrees, LOL!

5) Mask House Celebrity Snail Extract Moisturizing Gel Mask

Another paper mask, tbh, I'm not a huge fan on paper mask, cause they ALWAYS gets me allergic and I have this weird feelings towards them. But this one however is from korea, has snail extract and apparently "victoria beckham & princess kate" uses it! LMFAO.....so might give this a try, and be ADVENTUROUS!

6) ANKANG Beauty Restoring Essence

AT LAST! I CAN"T WAIT TO DRINK THIS and actually looking forward to this cause it clams to relieve stress and helps u sleep while giving you collagen and giving both ur skin and your nervous system a boost! well, I have my doubts and we shall see tonight.
But I opened that bottle, *sniff* SMELLS LIKE Chicken essence LOL!!!(got tricked by the pink bottle) *sip* OH MY GOD.....what is that taste?! SUGAR SYRUP WITH CHICKEN ESSENCE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! SOOO WEIRD! Anyhow, still gonna drink the whole thing tonight, throwing it into the fridge for the moment!

Well here it is, all the products for this month's GLAMABOX :D I'll make sure to update all the product reviews asap :) And if you got other products instead of these! OMG PLEASE SHARE WITH ME!!!!! I can't wait for the official announcement! Enjoy and GO SUBSCRIBE if u haven't! HAHAHAHA! its good :)

Oh yes, storing of those empty glamaboxes, well I know some people just toss them, but I just think that they are such cute boxes and it would be such a waste to toss them, so I kept all the old ones :)
And then I just stuff all those skin care products I use only when I have breakouts, some seldom used paper masks and best of all, ALL THOSE TESTERS I GOT from korea :))) Theres now places to store them neat and tight!
I am not one of those people that are crazy over saving the tiny cute earth, but hey! these boxes are pretty and can store things, dun toss this out and buy plastic boxes! Just use them and save some money for another month's subscription fee! LMAO :D Okay I'm done ...phew such a long post!

Don't forget to join my blog, so I can entertain u on a regular basis <3

need water cause the beauty restoring essence thing is still in my mouth lol! arghhh...
