My recent Shopping Haul!

Not too sure why but recently I've have been purchasing quite a few beauty hauls.. ^_^

The biggest hole I ever burn is the one at that shopped at Changi Airport DFS. Bought all these goodies when Mr Lee and I went to Bali.

Replenished my SK II  essence. It's selling a lot cheaper at DFS! Retail is selling at $99 but DFS is at $79

I have been wanting to purchase the Chanel Liquid Foundation but the retails store are selling at around $78 and I only got it at $60++. Lipstick too, if I remember correctly, retail price is around $45. I got mine at $36~

I've been using the Chanel foundation for quite some time and I can see it's really good. Thus far I don't have any foundation streaks on my forehead esp by mid day. With light coverage, I think it's pretty good for every day usage and it has a light floral scent too.

I've also got my hands on the highly raved YSL touche eclat highlighter pen. I normally used at to highlight my cheekbones and the bridge of my nose. So far... seems not too bad too!! ^_^v
Most importantly, I got it cheaper than retail shop! Hehehehe.

The MAC blusher is a last min purchase as my Sleek Makeup Blush is really a disappointment to me. I'm not sure the retail store price for Mac blusher but I got mine at $29! And I'm sooo in love with the colour... "Mocha". It seems me a subtle blush that is just nice for my skin colour!

Last by not least.. Lancome's mascaras! I'm so in love with their so Hypnoses Star mascara! The holding curl power is really as advertise and ever since I'm using this mascara, I hardly use my false eyelashes! And you won't believe the price at DFS. $37.50!!! Sephora is selling the same mascara at $50!!

Though shopping at DFS cost me a bomb but I think I still have quite a good amount of savings here compared to shopping at retail shop!! Gives me the reason to have holidays more often!

Another recent purchase which I have dying to get my hands on....

So far I've only used it twice so I can't give much comment. The texture is pretty light and fine..
Let's see how this will work after using for a month or so.. =)

These are my beauty haul for these recently months (mainly June - July).

Should stop shopping and save my $$$!!!!

Hahaha

So happy that long weekend is coming!! Simply can't wait! ^_^

Have a great week!

My little beauty haul for March

Hello!! It's finally Friday!!

To be honest, I almost can't drag myself up to work this morning. I was hoping that I can sleep and sleep and continuing sleeping. You know what, recently I've seen this post that Ladies need more sleep if not she will be grumpy and men are the ones will have keen the wrath. Hahahahah..
To a certain extent, I think it's quite true. When I don't have enough sleep, I tend to be grumpy and moody until my mind wakes up. Life is tough.

Blah.. enough of my ramblings.

Here is my little beauty haul for this month. Nothing much though, cause my beauty products take a long time to finish all.. My face is small lah! Hahahah

My colleague went overseas last week and offered to help me purchase this lovely mascara from DFS. It's sooo much cheaper than what retailers are selling. I saw this mascara at Sephora, $50. She helped me to purchased it at $37! 

So far I'm loving this mascara.. The holding power is fantastic! Very voluminousness as well. My friends will know that I usually puts on false eyelashes. But when I use this mascara, I will just apply eyeliner and a few coats of mascara. Lovely eyes!!

Bought this China Glaze nail polish when I have my lunch at POMO. They are having some bazaar there. It's quite cheap too. Selling at $8. OPI nail polish are at $10. Not much variety of colors but they do have stocks for those staples colours. 

My favourite Dior - Addict perfume has run out. Currently left with CK - In2U (Heat) perfume which I bought the wrong one. 

Story is that, my friend gave me a small vial as they sample cause it's from her dept's door gift pack to freshie. They have way too much and she gave me. I like the smell! It's light and refreshing. So I went to perfume shop and look for it. Not sure I bought the wrong edition or what. But the smell is not the same as what I have (Small vial). So I change upon this Burberry London (Summer edition) which I love love love. This is a old edition. At least 1 - 2 summers back, Burberry launch this!

I also purchase this Kenzo perfume for my husband... he finished using his Adidas one.

My favorite cleanser!! Next from Khiels' Rare Earth. Bought this from Gmarket. It's alot more cheaper than what counter are selling. I bought this for $22 including shipping!! I think in general Laneige's products are alot more cheaper when you purchase from Gmarket than off the counter.

The next product that I'm going to purchase is the Firming Sleeping Mask & Water Bank Eye Cream which is selling at $49 & $42 respectively at Singapore Laneige's counter.

This is a new makeup remover that I bought to try. I can't really use oil based product especially removing eye makeup cos my eye area are super prone to mila seeds. So I love Biore's Jelly makeup remover which I have been using for quite awhile. Thought it's good for me to have a change and try out other makeup remover.

So far, I feel that it's cleaning power is not too bad. As usual, to remove my eye makeup (waterproof mascara, eyelash glue residue, concealer) I need more than 1 cotton wool and what I think it's good is that it's water base! According to the label, I don't need to double cleanser however I still cleanse it with my cleanser.

That's all for this month...

Have a great weekend!

Mini Beauty Haul!

A very vain girl me... started to stock up on my beauty products. Many of my beauty products are finishing soon.  So when my colleague share with my that Groupon is having a good deal on Luxola, I immediately purchase 1 and wanted to kick my ass for my purchasing more! Haiz.

Ordering on Luxola's website is a breeze.. they even offer free delivery too! Very good service and prompt delivery! I like! Cos I've encounter some companies who won't even notify you when is the delivery date and time, left you guessing!

So these are the items that I purchase..

Sigma E55 Eye Shade Brush

I tried using this E55 brush to pick a eye colour and swatch it on my eyelids. I love how this brush picks up the colour and shade so smoothly over my eye lid. And the brush is soo soft..

I've been lusting over sigma's brushes when i watch Jennifer from From Head to Toe use it! It's like the colours are so easily picked up. And the best of it is... its so soft!! Next I'm aiming is the foundation brush and eye blending brush..

Sleek Makeup Blush - Life's a Peach

I've been using this blush for a few days... I like how natural this blush colour looks on my cheek but it's alittle tough to tell if my blush brush picks up the colour.. Seems a little stubborn to be picked up.. Hmm.. I heard another colour - Rose Gold is highly raved and it's colour is very pigmented. Maybe after I'm done with this.

Sleek Makup - Corrector and Conceal 01

Haven start using this yet. Currently I'm still using Benefit's erase paste as my concealer. Read some beauty blogger's reviews, this seems quite good too!!

. 

As you can see from the picture... I also top up my false eyelashes from one of my favorite vendor!

It's abit troublesome to head down to their showroom to purchase their eyelashes as they are located at AMK.. luckily they have online ordering and free delivery too!

During the post christmas sale, I also purchase this 2 items!!

I can say Revlon's product are much better than Maybeline.. I think my skin look so nice when I was photographed. Hehhhehehe

I heard Urban Decay's Naked Basic palette has arrived in SG.. wondering if I should purchase it??!!

Hmmm...

Maybe I should make full use of whatever I'm having now before thinking of adding more beauty products!!

One of my 2013 resolutions to save money!!

Have a great day!!

Xoxo,

Goodies box : July Bella Box

Since I heard of this bellabox that sends 5 make-up or skincare goodies for you to try out!
I'm tempted to try out immediately but it wasn't until July that I start to subscribe.

See what I received!! All these goodies for just s$19.95 per month and its courier service all the way to my door steps! (^_^V)

So this month, I was surprised to received the mini goodies from SKII. I tried it before when I was in my early twenties.. but then it wasn't suitable for my skin.. After so many years, and now that I'm older... I thought of trying their products again. Partly because of my upcoming wedding preparation, so stressful that my skin isn't taking it so well!

Another rave is the orange thingy.. it's a hair twist! I recently just rebonded my hair, couldn't tied it cos in case it will leave a dent on my hair. But with the weather so hot and humid, this hair twist come in handy! No dent on my hair and it doesn't loosen very easily!

I think I shall continue my subscription with bellabox. And I was thinking that this bellabox is also a very good idea for my bridemaids gifts!! So now I don't have to headache what gifts to give my bridemaids! (^_^v)

Xoxo,
Felicia

Delighted!

Ever since I found this company at Tampines Mall, selling good quality false eyelashes.. I've have been their regular to the point that i even become their member.

Was quite sad to found out that they no longer have their pushcart at TM... right now their only outlet is at Ang Mo Kio, which is kinda of out of the way for me.. So now I seldom frequent AMK to do my pedicures cos the package that I have have been completed and me have no intention of continue to sign another package with them.

Anyway, during CNY this year.. I bought 2 boxes of 10 pair eyelashes. So when they are out of TM, I was too bothered. But yesterday when i was down to my very last pair of eyelash. I panicked!! Cos it 1 week time, I going off to my resort holiday and i won't have enough time to rush to AMK to replenish my eyelash!!!

Thank God for world wide web.. As i was online surfing net, searching for some blogs that sells eyelash... i stumble upon my favourite eyelash company's blog!! The best part is.... they allow customers to order online too!!

Plus plus!! They offer free door to door courier service with no minimum order and no prepayment too! It's just COD.

My favourite eyelash from Stella Fashion eyelash

Ordered my eyelash yesterday and I just received my eyelashes! Really good service!! Thumbs up!!

So ppl, do check out this website!

Beauty: Biore Hydra Clear Make Up remover

I've been reading alot of good reviews from many beauty blooger about this Biore Hydra Clear Makeup remover.

Image from Google. Blog this from work thus no image of my own.

For me, I ususally use Clinque's eye make up remover to remove my mascara and also any glue residue from my falsh eyelash and any eye shawdow. So far, I'm quite happy with Clinque's eye make up remover as it always remove most of my eye makeup quite effiecently. Only on those few ocassion where I've alot of "stubborn" glue residue that refuse to be remove....

But now this Hydra Clear Makeup remover solve my problems!!

So there's my daily rountine of removing my makeup

1) Remove my eyelash
2) Use Clinque EyeMakeup Remover (Blue Bottle) to remove mascara, concealer and glue residue
3) Use Hydra Clear Makeup remover, pour about $0.50 coin size on your plam, on your dry face, start to massage and you can feel like your makeup are starting to dissolve
4) Use Kiehl's Rare Earth cleanser to cleanse my face.

Previously I didn't have step 3, now i can feel that my face are much more cleanse and lesser bumps or white heads / milia seeds!!

Furthermore, I bought this from an tolietries shop, Venus.
This Biore Hydra Cleanser only cost me SG$17.90!!! Wah, a savings of $3!! =)
** Cheapskate me** But who cares!!! Cos i get to save from shopping and that's every ladies goal!

hahahahahaha

Can't get for end of Oct to arrive soon! Port Dickson Trip here i come!

My new hair cut - Great Deals from Streetdeals.com

I recently got into groupon , streetdeals promotions.
These websites really have quite a number of good deals.. from fashion, beauty, getaways, dining, photography and many more.

I first bought Groupon's voucher for a steamboat buffet in Suntec and since than i can't stop cos i realize that i save alot especially on food.

So i went on to purchase a 90min outdoor photography shoot with my bf which I've schedule it in Oct. Just nice that its a term holiday for my bf so he didn't have to teach.. Plus we are also planing our long awaited Port Dickson trip during this term holiday of his. Can't wait for end of Oct to arrive!!! (^_^v)

Beside food and photography great deals. I recently purchased a deal from Streetdeal.com.sg , for Hair Colour!! Cost $28 for a Loreal hair colour, free cut, wash and blow! But because this price is meant for shoulder length hair and mine was over shoulder length so i just need to top up additional $20.
Not bad for such a deal. Usually when i go for my hair colour, it will cost me like at least $100 ++.

I would definitely look out for more of these good deals!!

The picture can't really show my hair colour but i dyed it RED!! Having brown colored hair for too long so changed it to red... Heheheheh

And my hair length is back to shoulder length! I really miss my long hair.
Right now, I'm contemplating to rebond my hair or go for extension.. I prefer to have long hair when i take my photoshoot with bf end of Oct!!

Haiz.What should i do??!!

Beauty Loots: Maybelline - Magnum Volum Express Waterproof Mascara

Saw this new Maybelline mascara and read few good reviews like,

• able to hold curl longer
• waterproof
• smudge proof
• easily remove with eye makeup remover

I've just purchased this yesterday and have yet to try so i can't really say if this mascara is really as what the above mention points is.

And I've also purchase an eye gel. In fact is an eye brightener roll on... Haven really used any eye product and realise that it's by pass time that i start using one especially at my age, 27 years old. I've got to really take good care of my skin. Though at times i really wish i'm blessed with flawless skin. Too bad I'm not.. Haiz.

So got to invest in skincare and lots of good mask!

Beauty Loot: Fancl Lotion AC + Sunguard 30

Like many girls out there... I've my own set of beauty regimen..

There are some kind of girls who loves to get the complete set from the same brand. And there are some kind who loves to mix and match.

And yup, i belong to the later. Cos i also believe that brand A cleanser is good for you doesn't mean that it's toner will work fine on your face.

So there is my mix and match 3 step beauty regimen.

1) Cleaner: Kiehl's Rare Earth Cleansing Form
2) Tone: Fancl Lotion AC
3) Moisturize:  Kiehl's Rare Earth Pore Minimizing Lotion
4) Sunblock: Fancl Sun guard 30 Nuance Pearl

And being a member in Fancl group, recently they are having a 20% discount on their product as their anniversary promotion. Catch is, you got to purchase at least $80 and above.

Total damage: $65

So I went down to the nearest Fancl store that is nearby me and viola!!! I'm a happy girl cos i save at least $10++!!

I've been using Fancl's product for awhile.. and i really like it. Totally suits the Asian skin. The lotion is quickly absorb once i pat on my clean face. And there's not feeling of tightness. And another product that i rave about will be the sunblock.

Most of the sunblock i used, are really oily and after awhile my skin will have break outs. But this watery base sunblock.. just sit right it!!
 Thumbs up for me!

Online Shopping!!

All these while I've been using Singpost's Vpost service to purchase my USA loots. Especially to those company that do not ship internationally. And I've no complaints but raves for this service. Because as they promise, shipping is usually done within 7 working days after payment of shipping is received by Vpost.

Anyway let me get to my point.... 

And recently I've changed my skin care to Kiehl's which is very popular in USA. And their products are really good! So in love with their Rare Earth collection. My skin has tremendously improved. Lesser breakout though my pores on my cheeks..

Knowing that Kiehl's products are selling much more expensive in SG so i went to their USA website and realised 2 things :-

1) They do not ship international
2) They do not accept international credit card

My loots

So this means, i need the help of vconcierge! Process of purchase is a breeze.
Followed the instruction given my vpost. Paid for my items..
Waited for my parcel to arrive at my vpost USA address and which then i paid for my shipping.
Viola!
Items are received around 7 working days!

So now i know where i can stock up on my beauty regimen items!

Beauty: A vain me

Well ever since my colleague introduced me to false eyelashes, I've been sticking it for as long as i know.
Previously my knowledge of really curly dolly eyelashes is to permed it! I remember when i permed my eyelash, it look really weird as it curls up to like 90 degrees... but after a day, the curl will be very nice and natural. Provided your eyelashes isn't too short.

And since then I've found false eyelashes, I've no complain. My features instantly look different. Especially my eyes look bigger.

Somehow recently, kinda of sick of sticking my false eyelash each time i go out. And especially if im planning to go on a photography outing, i can't stick my falsie and it's somehow will fall out. Wonder if it's my glue to blame. Anyway, I've been wanting to try EYELASH EXTENSION.

Wanted to try a shop in Far East - Milly's. Read a number of good and bad reviews. But somehow their price seems kinda of high. Until today, my colleague recommended me this shop where she did her hair extension and saw other girls going there for eyelash extension.

Like all the other girls, who do their homework before deciding which shop to go. I did mine too. And decided to go to Angel Xin @ City Plaza.
Reviews are good from blogs and forums. Prices are reasonable. Charging @ $30, $50 and $60. Touch up of lens are @ $10.

So here are my newly extension lashes.

this extension cost me $50.

Am actually quite happy with my lashes. And since it's my first time, the lady who did my lashes say that she didn't give me too drama ones. Once i'm use to it, than can try more dolly lashes....

Beauty: My restocks!!

I've been a huge fan of Benefit since they launch their products in Singapore.

Knowing that Benefit originate from San Francisco... immediately "Benefit" appeared in my shopping list when i was at USA last year June. Wonder why? Cos the price difference is so great! Its' much cheaper to purchase Benefit stuffs from the USA website!

Posie Tint selling at Robinson is @ $65. Benefit website is selling at US$28. Even after the currency convert, it cost only $35!!!!! See so much difference!

Tsk Tsk!!! A lady who loves shopping must also know where to get all the good deals. And since then, I've been purchasing Benefit stuffs online.. Save alot of $$~!!!

And here are my loots!

As you can see, recently bought Coverderm. There have a store at Scape park. Made a check online and reaslise that this brand is really good for covering spots on legs! But somehow the color that i purchase doesn't seem to blend very well... When i asked the lady, she just say that this color should suit me. 

Anyway I'm thinking to go back and check with her again! 

Next loot:

Bought these 2 Victoria Secret mist which i thought was already out production...

My favourite: Sweet Temptation and Enchanted Apple!

Beauty: 6 ways of Blusher Application

All the while when it comes to blusher application, I only know 1 way.... which is 1) Smile 2) Brush across your cheek apples and it a Nike tick style.

I bought this book.. Kevin's Perfect Beauty Guide quite awhile ago. Didn't really read it unless recently.
And i thought might as well share here. This guide book is really good as it comes with complete step by step guide to make up. Great for those like me who is make up idiot! And the instruction comes in English!!!

Kevin's Perfect Beauty Guide

Hmm.. some how my pictures quality aren't that good!
Anyway here are the 6 ways

1) Apple of cheek: Start from bottom of cheek muscles, along the smile area.
2)Nike "Swoosh": A big tick from lower cheek toward side hairline
3)Worm: Draw a tick from head to tail, mostly use around hairline for shading
4)Circle: Lower cheeks as center, brush in circular motion
5)Horizontal Oval: Lower cheeks as focal point, brush in oval from cheek area slightly away tip of nose towards the back
6) Slanted Oval: From corner of tip towards cheek area under the bow, helps to shape the face smaller.

What's on my eyes?

Im really a lazy girl at times...
When it comes to makeup, i usually like the all in one product, like primers, cheek/lip stain and my all time favorite, false eyelashes!

I used to purchase my eyelashes at far east plaza but recently i find that the eyelashes quality that they import aren't really that good. And i hate those plasticly feel of eyelash. Don't look natural at all!
And while shopping around Tampines Mall, i found a push cart around Texas Chicken level that sells eyelashes!
Prices are very reasonable. A single pair of eyelashes are priced at $4.40 and a box of 10 pairs of eyelashes at $21.90..

Brought a few and im instantly became their member! Hahah
So here's my loot!

My favorite, Natural, criss cross style

For bottom lashes

Natural Straight Lashes
