New items coming soon =D

Hi babes, sorry for the hiatus again...


Anyway, I have been placing some orders for goods and thought it will be fun to share it with you guys and maybe get more recommendations for stuff to bring in. So here goes:


1. Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Shadow

Temptalia has some amazing swatches that she done on a video here:

At first I was hesitant to order this as cream shadows has a tendency to crease. However, after hearing so many amazing reviews on how it is long lasting, doesn't crease and have amazing pigmentation even after 16 hours wear, I'm excited to try it out. Some even said that it is comparable to MAC Paintpots or MUFE Aqua Cream, but at a cheaper price! Personally, I'm excited to bring them in myself because I can foresee me using the cream shadow in "Too Cool" to brighten up my inner tear duct area!


2. Revlon Lip Butter 

Again, amazing swatches from scrangie as below:

Left to right: Cherry Tart, Lollipop, Strawberry Shortcake, Sugar Plum, Sweet Tart, Creme Brulee, Macaroon.


Again, I was hesitant to bring them in because I was scared that Revlon will be bringing them in in Singapore. BUT, after watching too many beauty gurus raving about them on Youtube, I WANT ONE TOO! ESP THE ONE IN CANDY APPLE! Who don't want buttery soft lips with a hint of color that are long lasting, pigmented and you don't have to reapply often? I am a kiasi person, so I only ordered 2 pieces (YES 2 PIECES!) of each shade. The rationale is that if Revlon brings them in, I can split the lip butters with my sis and we will get one shade each. Shipping cost is going to be a bitch D:


3. CoverGirl Lash Blast 24 hour Mascara in very black

Now, you may find the above picture familiar because of this:

Yes, it is the highly raved CoverGirl Lash Blast mascara! So, why did I ordered the 24 hour mascara instead of the cult favourite? If you read the reviews on Makeupalley.com, you will find that almost everyone is commenting either on its long wearing ability or how it make their lashes to curl EVEN WITHOUT a lash curler. That to me is a huge selling point. Lazy me don't even know where my lash curler is, so I'm excited to try out this mascara and see whether it can be a faster shortcut to get VA VA VOOM lashes without looking high and low for the lash curler =D


4. Loreal Infallible Eyeshadows

Ok, technically I didn't order it for the blogshop but for my own personal use because I'm not sure whether people will purchase it. Anyway, they are highly pigmented, has a consistency between a pigment and a cream shadow, and are said to be dupes of the Armani Eyes to Kill shadows. I got myself 2 neutral shades: endless pearl which will be a great base and iced latte which can act as a shimmery beige highlight. 


Some swatches from musingsofamuse:

The iced latte is the one on the right. Will definitely do a post when they arrive!

I think drugstore makeup are really stepping up their game and producing better and better products! Now we can get higher quality makeup at affordable prices too! If you guys ahve any suggestions or recommendations on item to bring in, let me know too! =D

Watching Emilynoel83's video is so bad! I was watching her Emily Awards 2011 for eyes products and I saw the Loreal Infallible eye shadow and how pigmented it was when she swatches it. Reviews on Makeupalley.com turns out great and I'm now lemming for it!

The marmalade pantry

At the marmalade pantry with the sister, eating sea salt caramel cheesecake (comes recommended) and drinking hot chocolate.

Sea salt caramel cheesecake: top layer of normal cheese, middle layer of salted cheese with bits of walnut and bottom layer of crushed oat biscuit ( most likely from digestive biscuit)

Hot chocolate: too sweet for our tasting. Have a real good cocoa aftertaste.

Random haul before Christmas (Part I)

Tired ttm! Anyway, these are some goods that arrive before Christmas but I never got the time to post the pictures up or do the sales post. It include both goods for the blogshop and some items for personal use. This will be part one and part two will be some Too Faced items that I got (which I'm still undecided whether to sell them or use them myself because they are so pretty! *excited* )

EOS lip balm sets-currently sold out, new stocks will arrive in 2 weeks! Currently using the one in lemon drop and loving it! VERDICT: highly recommended!

Highly raved foundation in souffle texture! LOVING this! <3
VERDICT: Highly recommended!

No slip head bands-I don't know is my head too big because they SLIP! Unless I put on 2 then it will become too tight LOL
VERDICT: only recommended if you have smaller head ;D

Shampoo brush- supposed to use during showering as it will massage your scalp and give you healthier hair. VERDICT: Useless piece of plastic. NOT RECOMMENDED.

I love how Ecotools listen to their customers and revamp their makeup bag. It used to be this clip on bag that everyone was complaining about because they have to squash their brushes in so now, Ecotools make a new one with the zip and all the brushes can fit in nicely. Plus the fact that their brushes are very soft, good quality and affordable, VERDICT: Highly recommended! =D

Yet to try it yet but it feels so good!

Bought it after seeing a lot of positive reviews but has yet to use it yet. It's currently stinking up my storeroom because of the baking soda in it though...

Also bought it after watching too much Youtube and some of the gurus were recommending this. You just add a few drops to a glass of water and you get peach tea! Maybe I bought the wrong flavour but there's this plasticky and sickly sweet taste to it. VERDICT: not recommended.

This works similar to a cotton pad soaked in toner. The grip on the cotton pads helps in minor exfoliating the skin  to prep it to absorb the salicylic acid better. I need a longer time to review this since my skin have to adjust and all that, but VERDICT: GOOD FOR LAZY PEOPLE!

Sonia Kashuk concealers! Have always been a cult favourite and my mum is loving it too because she can mix her own shades and it has long staying power! VERDICT: recommended!

Pixi palette I got because of the blushes! Look at all the amazing shades!!! The eyeshadows are nice too  but OMG, just look at the blushers! SOOOOOOO PRETTY!!!

Ok, talk to you guys soon! =)
