Weekend Wind down

One of the most exciting things I received this week was my Stila Kitten Eyeshadow (I've waited 2 weeks for postage *rage*), but all was worth the wait. 

I really love this Champagin eyeshadow with a subtle hint of peach because it looks really gergous on the eyes. However saying that I have a few that has a similar finish to this, ie my Loreal Infailliable shadow in Hourglass Beige. So I wouldn't run out to get this if you have a decent Champaign collection already. 

Staying power of this shadow is also pretty good, (8hrs +) and over a good primer this baby will not crease or smear. 

The pigmentation is beautiful and I can understand why swatching this is soo addictive (its soo pretty to look at, Okay the picture is not doing it justice).

This second item definitely is worth a mention, I receive a YSL lip Stain from a SHOP giveaway!!!! I won this, from a GIVEAWAY. Okay I'm making a big deal because I dont normally win anything and my luck is normally down the drain when it comes to giveaways.

I revieved the shade 12 and the colour payoff is phanomenal (see pic below). Application on the lips is very smooth and it dont leave the lips drying. Like all lip products, is best to apply on smooth exfoilated lips.
The staying power is also great, given you dont wipe it off (due to the glossy nature). 
And the Stain can be easily removed with a WP  remover.

 After a few hours of application my lips did get a little dry, so I would recommend application over a lip conditioner.
Overall, I'm very impressed with product and its definitely a luxury/splurge item.
Given the chance of trying out this product, I might be interested in trying more shades like corals (I'm SOO into Coral right now).

Finally, here are some products I picked up during the weekend to try out. 

I know its abit exessive to get nearly the entire range of Vitemine E range from The Body Shop, but I was thinking maybe me eekky oily T-zone was be due to lack of moisture. So I will keep you posted on what I think. 

And trying out a hair oil has been on my list for a while, so I grabbed this one from Priceline which was on sale.

The Body shop Vitamine E Moisturizer, Toner, Serum, Facial Mist.

Modern Snow White

Benefit Snow White & the huntsman set

Benefit Snow White & the Huntsman

Just last week I received my Benefit Snow White & the Huntsman set.

 I purchased my set from Ebay in which the seller added 2 extra products and took away the Mascara that was included in the set.

Here are some pics of what is included in the set and the extra things the seller put in.

Benefit Snow White & the Huntsman

As you can see I'm a sucker for packaging, the main attraction of this set was the makeup train case. It has a beautiful lilac silk like detailing on the bottom half which make it look soo elegent.

Benefit Snow White & the Huntsman

 The train cash is abit small, but its definitely enough for a overnight stay or a short holiday.

I think the seller added all the paper padding to protect the products, which is a very nice touch

And most of the items came wrapped in pink rice paper. Opening this is like Christmas.

Here are all the products in its full glory.

Benefit Snow White & the Huntsman

A close up. All the products are sample size which is really handy for a tester like me. I usually use products a few times to determine whether I like them. For most products I dislike, they are usually hardly used again, which is ashame (blog sale is a good idea).

Benefit High beam

I tried the High Beam twice now, and I LOVE it. I cant believe I have not came acrose this. This give the perfect sheen on the cheeks. When I mean perfect, I mean No shimmer particles, easily blended into skin, perfectly matches my skin and it gives a even highlight on the applied area (LOVE).

Benefit Total Moisture

The tub is too Cute. Its glass too, just like the packaging in this skincare range

Benefit Pore Pessional

Tried it once, it does give a smooth finish but didnt see a dramatic difference in pore size (Maybe I'm applying it wrong?).

Urban Decay primer potion & L'oreal Glam Shine

 Here the two extra items.

Other side of box... I really like this side cause it says "Rare Beauty" Oh so does the back of the train case.

Here is another Infailliable eyeshadow I purchased. Its the Eternal Sunshine shade. I havent tried it yet, so no opinion.

Thanks for reading!!!

Comment down below what product you would like to try in the Benefit set.

Until next time, Stay Beautiful.

Exciting Mail

Recently I entered a blogging/vloging contest from BeautyHeaven, and to my surprised I was shortlisted. When I received the email, I had one of these moments where my heart skipped a beat (you know the usual reaction). Well they send all participants a Rimmel Mascara (shown in the middle), and all shortlisted participants a Palmolive shampoo & conditioner set and 3 rimmel eyeshadows (generous I know). Well since I recieved 3 rimmel quads and a girl really only needs 1, I'm thinking of doing a giveaway probably one on my youtube Channel and one here maybe (havent decided yet).

I purchased this hand cream because my hands are in a desert dry state and also I really love their body cream line. 

I gotta say I really love this hand cream, well majorly for the Smell. Most hand creams I tried all turned me off due to their fragrant. I have a really sensitive nose, so fragrants in products is a big factor for me. I really enjoy light fresh scent with a hint of citrist, and this hand cream really hits all the bottons. I find myself smelling my hands constantly during the day and urgently reapply after each hand wash (which is a good thing!). Currently very impressed, and this might creep up in my June favs ^^

Until next time, Stay Beautiful.

Back Again!

Hey guys

Sorry I've been away for soo long. Its my bad, I've been really unmotivated to blog, but after reading Essiebutton!'s Blog I really want to get back into it. 

So I'm easing my way back by showing you guys what I purchased and received today.

Biore Pore Unclogging scrub, L'Oreal waterproof makeup remover & Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar (6)

I've ran out of two of my Fav and holy grail products (was kicking myself yesturday cause I have nothing to use and the shops were closed). I've used Biore Pore unclogging scrub for the longest time but (about 5~6 yrs), and our relationship is still going strong. It really cleans the face and yet it doesn't leave the squeaky tight feeling after. Also the beads in the scrub is gentle enough for everyday use. 

And the L'Oreal waterproof makeup remover is really a recent discovery. I really love it cause its able to take my w/p makeup off easily and it doesn't leave the skin greasy (but I still cleanse before moisturizer).

Lastly I purchased the Tony Moly Petite bunny Gloss bar purely out of materialism. The packaging is cute and I heard some good feedback about it. I only tried it on once (after I got home), so cant give you a good opinion.

 

As you might have known I usually purchased my skincare and cosmetics at Chemist warehouse. And today like all others I purchased the two items above there, during check out I was asked whether I was friends of Chemist Warehouse, I got a little excited cause I thought it was their new VIP system. Well long story short, this is a card that gives a portion of your purchase profit to a Health Charity. Nothing too spectacular, I just hope the cost of these cards and this program won't jack up the prices in store.

Nars eyeshadow primer

  

Wrapping up everything, I received my Nars eye primer today. I've been having trouble with my eyeshadow creasing throughout the day and I heard this will do my oily eyelids good. So I'm giving this bad boy a try. 

Well its the end of this blog, I really want to keep this up. So if I'm not back within a week, someone please kindly give me a shout in the comment section below or on my youtube. 

Until next time, Stay beautiful.

Love Nancy
