Pocket Damage: September [Picture Heavy!!]

I did quite a fair bit of hauling in September. :p (Sham if you're reading this, it makes me very happy, like how happy a fat kid gets when you bring him to a candy store) So i decided to wait till the end of the month to post up, well i'm a couple of days late, but here's my damage!

So if you're not already suscribed to the Pixiwoo sisters on YouTube, what are you waiting for? Hop along now! So anyways, one of the sisters, Samantha Chapman, created the amazing brushes that everyone has been talking about, Real Techniques and they've been using it constantly in their videos. The one brush that caught my eye the most was the Deluxe Crease Brush which, they have been using for concealer! I loved how flawless it left them and knew right away i had to get them! (Funny because i usually would reach for foundation/blush/stippling brushes first!)

(L-R: Deluxe Crease Brush, Base Shadow Brush, Accent Brush, Eyeliner Brush & Eyebrow Brush)

I also picked up some MAC goodies, a concealer, Moisture Cover in NW20, which i don't particularly think is great. My under eye lines still seems to find a way to show. If you have a good concealer to reccommend, please do tell! I'd be so grateful! Next is a paintpot. I really wanted Painterly but it was sold out so i picked something that was sorta nude-ish too but with shimmer. MAC Bare Study Paintpot. It's BEAUTIFUL! It's stated as a soft beige with gold pearl with a frost finish on maccosmetics.com

Some mascaras next. My sis in law went to one of the private sales and picked this up for me. Been dying to try this Lancome's Hypnose and so glad i got this for just $50! What a steal! Been obsessed with this mascara! Also picked up Clinique's Bottom Lash Mascara from a spree and got it for about $18 after shipping and conversion. Personally, not an item i will repurchase.) Yeah, the wand is tiny and pretty cute. But i could do the same job with a normal mascara wand. -___-

Picture on the right is a comparison of Lancome's Hypnose wand and Clinique's Bottom Lash wand. Cute ain't it!

Lastly, some Sleek palettes. Sleek has been much talked about for their great pricing as well as fantastic payoff when it comes to colour. My first palette was from the Avoir La Peche collection. In fact i got both the palette, Paraguaya, as well as the blush, Pan Tao. So when i saw these 2 palettes launched, i quickly placed an order for them!

My absolute favourite, as many others has loved too, Sleek's Oh So Special palette. With more matte shades this time round, this was right up my alley. :D It's a great everyday palette so if you're looking to invest in a good inexpensive palette, i'd highly reccomend this!

And finally, to close the haulin' i did, Sleek's Monaco palette. Stunning shades! I love how they're bright and i've always believed, by wearing bright colours, you'll feel happy! :) I absolutely adore Aquamarine. Beautiful blue-ish green shade that's totally matte.

I wore bamboo & aquamarine out the other day with a coral lip. So nice and bright! Very summer-ish! (it's practically summer all year round here in Singapore.) Love the combo. Till the next one, have an awesome Sunday ahead! :D


Collective Haul: MAC

Ola Señoritas! (And maybe some guys too, if you're reading this.)

There's some new followers, a BIG HELLO to you, thank you so much for following my blog and my journey.

Anyways, i've purchased these items over a period of time, hence, Collective. It's not anything new, more like, i finally managed to get my hands on some of these very sought after items thanks to Sg_Beauty and a friend. I have to say though, i love browsing through Sg_Beauty over the weekends, as that's when there's new posts with people selling their stash. Items can be brand new, swatched or even used. So i'm glad that i came across a seller selling her backups for MAC's Stereo Rose and Petticoat MSF. Bought both for $50 each, which i guess is pretty good, since they're brand new and all, and no they are not available at MAC counters at the moment. I actually purchased Stereo Rose first and immediately fell inlove and swore that i will become a MSF junkie. I wanted to get all the MSF's available only because it gave me such a lovely look. But i calmed down, and purchased Petticoat about 2 weeks after.

They both give me such a lovely hue, and i'm so extremely pale, everyone keeps telling me i should get a little tan to add some colour. But these two just gives my cheeks a nice pop of colour which looks so natural too. Love it! Honestly though, i was a tad bit disappointed when i received Stereo Rose, I've seen some with such lovely veinings, with more gold but mine is just bleh. I love it still, but i love love love my Petticoat partially because of its beautiful veinings, (i'm a sucker for anything pretty) and it's lovely on me! I ain't going to swatch them, cuz there must be a million you can find online, they are after all, highly raved about.

I'm glad i've bought these babies.I secretly still wanna own every MSF though. I know, insane.

I also managed to get a brand new MEHR lippie from another seller, i believe its from the Mickey Contractor collection. Its matte, but ain't so drying on the lips. Its kinda like a dirty creamy pink and smells of vanilla. YUMS!

That's all i have for now. The princess is demanding my attention, more like she's demanding food. So that's me signing off. Thanks for reading!
