Makeup from DFS Singapore International Airport

Lancome Rouge In Love 365N and Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink
Recently I have just flown to Shenzhen, China for some work related stuff, and I took advantage of the chance and got myself some makeup at Singapore Changi Airport DFS Perfumes & Cosmetics. I kept a tight rein over myself and it was a feat to only walk away with two pieces of makeup.

Lancome Rouge in Love
Lancome Rouge In Love has been out in the market for quite some time, and I love the idea of how the lipstick shades are classified according to moods.

Categorized in 3 moods:

Jolis Matins: Fresh shades for daytime wear. Jolis Matins shades are identified with the letter M in the shade number.

Boudoir Time: Pop shades for cocktail hour. Bourdoir Time shades are identified with the letter B in the shade number.

Tonight is My Night: Intense shades for magical nights. Tonight is My Night shades are identified with the letter N in the shade number.

I have been eyeing to own a piece of Lancome Rouge In Love for the longest time, but the steep price of SGD$40 in town has been a huge hurdle. Seeing the lipstick is priced at SGD$ 28.40 at DFS, I just had to get one! The lipstick comes in a nice weighty sliver burnished tube which I love.

365N Rose Grenadine

Being a person who favors light colored lipsticks, it was a surprise that I decided to pick shade 365N Rose Grenadine. It's an interesting color which appears pinkish coral under orange lighting and red under white light. It glides on smoothly, gives enough hydration for me to skip lip balm underneath, but it is definitely not for those with chapped lips. So if you do have chapped lips, give your lips a good buff before application.

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner
1 Black Ink
After having good encounters with Lunasol gel eyeliner, I wanted to get something in black as well. Seeing many rave review on Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink and the lower than town price of $31.10 at DFS, I decided to purchase it and try it out myself. The gel eyeliner applies smoothly without tugging, and gives a nice black line. But alas, it does not have the staying power. As I have oily eyelids, by afternoon the eyeliner would have smudged onto my lower eye area, giving me raccoon eyes! Applying eye primer and black eyeshadow over it to set the eyeliner didn't help either. A serious disappointment considering the price... I should have just stuck to Lunasol...

The Little Black Beauty Box - Shiseido

Previously I bought a few boxes of Vanity Trove, but as I find the samples in Vanity Trove getting more and more uninteresting, I decided to look for other beauty boxes instead. After doing some research, I found the recently launched "The Little Black Beauty Box" (LBBB). A joint venture by mediacorp styleXstyle and Robinsons, each month, the LBBB delivers to your doorstep a box containing a variety of beauty products in a dedicated theme, all for just S$19.90 (free shipping in Singapore). Online reviews on the past boxes showed the boxes with reasonable sized samples from quite reputable brands, all for a lower price than Vanity Trove. So I decided to try out the August box which happens to be themed "Shiseido" a brand which I am a fan of. LBBB has a nice customer service which calls you up one week before delivery to confirm delivery timing, and finally after a long long wait (I order in early July), it finally arrived! Ribbon wrapped, the LBBB looks lik...
