Long-Waited Haulage

It was been a while since I have hauled beauty-related items, so I'm glad to be back on track. 

I was requested to do some swatches of the Anna Sui palette, so here it is. I didn't do an EOTD with it, because I haven't found a suitable look yet. The first time I tried out the palette my dad jokingly said it looks like I have a bruised eye. LOL 

I don't know if my palette is defected or not, but that lavender color moves around in the pan! O.o I was like "Are you kidding me?" 
PSH! So much for being a high-end eyeshadow palette.
NO Flash
The dark purple color is pretty pigmented, however the rest is just OK. Just for your information all of these eyeshadows have a heavy perfume scent. When I say heavy, I mean HEAVYY! So basically it unpleasantly reeks of perfume. As you know Jill Stuart palettes also have a particular smell, but those aren't overwhelming at all.
w/ flash


I went to the mall two days before Mac's In the Groove Collection came out to hold Petticoat. Little did I know that, Stereo Rose was the one that people were hyping up. I seriously thought that people were going to go nuts about Petticoat. I do wish that I picked up Stereo Rose too though. I missed my chance. I feel that whenever I have a chance to buy something I don't, then I end up wanting it really badly when it's all sold out. Causing me to have to hunt it down by all means. Have you guys ever experienced that? 
I got one with TONS of veining.

As you guys know, I originally was not a Mac fanatic. However, I feel myself slowly gravitating towards the brand.
The stupid manufacturing people put TWO plastic inserts into my MSF. hahaha
SWAP~
Then I went on Makeup Alley and swapped with Christine for a Mac Marine Life. Once again, I chose not to purchase this when I had the opportunity. sigh..... 
I am in love with Mr. Seahorse~ I really wish the gold part wasn't an over spray
I definitely think that this is Mac's prettiest creation ever.
I have only opened the lid twice~
Call me CRAZY. whatever....
 

Package Number TWO
 
I ordered something from Adambeauty. My order came in 4 business days, which is pretty darn fast for $2 shipping. 
  

I got the Coffret D'or Spring Collection eyeshadow palette in 04. This one was the one that caught my eye ever since that collection came out. I saw lots of blog posts on this palette, and people seemed to adore it too. ^.^


Though Coffret's packaging is nice, but I absolutely hate seeing my fingerprints all over the palette. oh well. Nothing is perfect.


It is stunning in person, especially the peachy shimmery color in the center. 
BREATH-TAKING!


I went to Target to check out their drugstore makeup~


This is what I came home with~


 A new Revlon eyelash curler because the one that I am currently using is getting old, well , the rubber part. I decided to get the black one because it reminded me of the Chanel curler, and it looked kinda bad ass. ^.^ Hopefully this won't pinch my eyes.


Next I got myself the Lash Stiletto, however it's waterproof this time. It was a value pack, so it came with a eyeliner. It states that it is the "Ultimate Precision" Liner, but that's just BULLSHIT. I will show you why in my next post~

As you may know, I have been having acne problems lately. So I decided to the Neutrogena Rapid Clear gel. It sounds pretty convincing, saying it fights and fades acne. I will do a review after two weeks of using it. 


I am so excited about getting the Garnier Cream Gel~
I have seen this product in my Tawainese magazines, and on blog posts too. It finally arrived in the US.


I think that the baby aqua color is really adorable. I bought it for $6.99, which personally I think is quite a good deal!




Thanks for Reading~

oooh! New layout? I like!

Love the MAC marine life. Mos def their prettiest collection yet (though iconic, they're Hello Kitty line was pretty simple).

Is the lash stiletto mascara really good? Comparable to Lash Exact or perhaps better?

Cutie Fishball said...

oh I got the same coffret d'or palette, I have been drooling over it and I posted it on my blog too, the colors are so wearable and the texture is nice right? The only thing I wish was the box wasnt made of shiny plastic... i got fingerprints all over it and it's not sexy...
