Rimmel $10 Gift Pack

Once again, I have wandered into Watsons and before I knew it, I have bought the Rimmel gift pack. Well, it's only $10 for five Rimmel products, so it's not too bad isn't it? Rimmel gift pack Priced at SGD$10 Two lipsticks, Hide the Blemish Concealer, Glam Eyes Quad Eyeshadow, Lasting Finish Pro Nail Lacquer Actually I am only attracted to the quad eyeshadow in 016 Urban Flower. The colors in the eyeshadow quad are really easy to match and suitable for daily wear. The lipsticks has a shimmery finish which I am not too fond of, but the colors are quite light and wearable. As for the concealer, it comes in a very interesting lipstick form, but I find it too dry to conceal anything properly. As for the nail lacquer, I am still looking for an opportunity that I will open it to try it out, as the color is in a bronzey shade, which I am not fond of either.

New products sightings at newly renovated Takashimaya Watson

Watsons at Takashimaya has returned with a brand new look! Along with the renovation, more brands and products are brought in. So let's take a brief look to see what we have here. First up we have Majolica Majorca Circus Ecstasy: Finally the Creme de Cheek has arrived in Singapore. It's a gel cream blush which can be used on it's own or layered with powder blush. Odd enough, only RD310 (A coral cream) is being sold out of the supposed 4 colours. Along with the blusher are the Trick on Liner in Black (for eyes & body) and Crack Nail polish in Black and Pink. Up next, we have KATE : After more than two months of the release in Japan, KATE fall 2012 has finally reached Singapore. On display are 6 shades of the powderless liquid (S$34), which is a liquid foundation that transforms into powder within 15 seconds. Also new on display is the eye shadow base (S$17), in neutral and sparkle. Powderless Liquid Foundation & Eye shadow base From KATE we also hav

New Etude House Outlet at Clementi Mall

Etude House at Clementi Mall Calling out to all Etude House fans! Etude House has just opened a new outlet at the Clementi mall. Currently to celebrate the shop's opening, there is a storewide 30% discount. Yes, you read me correctly. It's STOREWIDE! With such fabulous discount, of course I had to get something :) So here's my mini loot: Mini haul First up we have the cotton wool (Org price. S$6.90) which I bought just to top the total bill up to $40 in order to get two free face mask. Cotton Wool Next we have a cherry lip gel patch (Org Price. S$4.90). It's a lip-shaped mask for the lips. So cute isn't it? I just had to try it out. Cherry Lip Gel Patch Lip-shaped Up next is a wash off yogurt mask pack called I Need You, Yogurt (Org Price. S$6.90). It has 4 flavours in a set, Strawberry, Kiwi, Apple and Peach, meant for 4 times usage. From past experience of the similar mask pack in Honey, each pack contains enough product for two uses.

Brand new look at Watsons IMM

Watsons at IMM has undergone a facelift to give you a cleaner looking and brighter shop! Although I welcome the new look, I have a feel that the shop has shrunk in size. Is it just a feel or a real shrinking? Nevertheless, along with the new look, we welcome new brands and products as well! First in line is a new essence booth: In season is the Fruity theme, with fruity nail polishes, creme blusher, eye shadows and lip balm. Had gotten the lip balm in peach flavour prior to this, as I thought the lip balm color looked way too cute, but the toilet freshener scent totally puts me off. >< (Remind me again why did I buy it??) Up next is the CLIO Art Collection : Image of their famous baked eyeshadows and blushes Been reading CLIO Art Collection for quite some time, but it's the first time I have came across the Art Collection apart from the normal collection. The eyeshadows swatched smoothly and beautifully. Pink trio, I have my eyes on you! Apart from the eyes

Sleek blusher from Luxola

Luxola is fast becoming one of my favourite online shopping site. It has nice introductory offer of S$10 voucher when you first join the site, free next day shipping, offers from time to time, and interesting products from various brands. Most importantly, it allows you to pay cash on delivery! How good is that? So here's my second haul from Luxola, a Sleek blush! Sleek Blush in Rose Gold and a free BB Cream Sample The Packaging: The Sleek blush comes sealed, and has the similar smooth matte look as their eyeshadow palettes. Like all their palettes, it's a B***H trying to open the blush, so there is no worries of blush opening in your bag. At 8grams, it's the size of my palm. The ingredients: The review: I would describe the colour to be a deep champange rose colour, with heavy gold shimmer embedded. It leans more on the peachy coral tone rather than pink. Heavily pigmented, a light hand is recommended when trying to build up colour on the cheeks. Rose G

Revamp of beauty counter at orchard TANGS

Project use it up Sept 2012

Finally I have managed to use up some products to clear up some shelf space! 1. Ora2 Stain Clear Polish Paste by Sunstar This is the 2nd or 3rd tube that I have finished (see how much I like this product). It's a very small tube as it is only meant for weekly usage. Once every week you just need to use this polish paste in place of your normal toothpaste and brush as normal. It effectively removes coffee, tea and food stains, allowing me to enjoy my favourite food and beverage. 2. Chic Choc Moisture Cream Wash A facial wash sample that I have gotten along with purchase of products at Chic Choc in my last trip to Taiwan. It is supposed to give you extra boost of moisture. As with all cream wash, I found this facial wash to be slightly drying even though it is meant to be moisture replenishing. Will not purchase the full size. The list of ingredients can be viewed below: 3. Biotherm Celluli Laser Slim.Code An advanced slimming care product, Biotherm Celluli Laser Sl
