HAUL! ♥ Products I got back in September :x
Hey guys! So I did some shopping recently (by recently I mean back in September but whatever) and I thought I would show you some stuff I got! :)
Beauty Blender Original
Got my first beauty blender! Woohoo! I purchased it at Sephora for $37. It comes with a mini Solid Cleanser that works amazingly on the Beauty Blender as well as other makeup sponges and brushes. One thing I should add about the Beauty Blender is that the gorgeous pink colour does fade each time to wash it. Mine has faded to a muted pink colour, but I still love it nonetheless :)
Tarte Smooth Operator Finishing Powder
Got this at Sephora for $21. Thought it would be good to get just to try out and if I liked the product I could go and purchase the full size. I've used this already but I'm not sure if I like it enough to purchase the full size once I used this one up. Will have to used it a lot more before I decide
Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation (in Shade 1N2 Ecru)
Finally decided to pick this bad boy up! I got this because I needed a long wearing foundation when I was in Australia because I would be out all day every day while I was there and I didn't have time to touch up my makeup. Used this for about a month and a half now and I AM IN LOVE. It's a really good foundation for oily skin and at the end of the day my skin still looks good. Retails at $58. Got mine from the Estee Lauder shop.
Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation (in shade 2)
Got a sample of this foundation and instantly fell in love so I obviously had to pick up a full size of this! It's lightweight and looks like skin while still giving good coverage. Surprisingly it still looks good on me at the end of the day (I do have oily skin and prefer foundations that are more matte). Retails at $62 and I got mine at Sephora
MAC Fix+
Finally got a bottle of MAC Fix+! And so happy I did. Not much to say about it. I just enjoy spraying it on my skin when my skin feels a little dry or when I just need to be refreshed. Bought mine for $28
Maybelline Colour Show Eye Liners (not sure of shade name as it's not on the actual eyeliner!)
Oops can't remember the price of these guys as well (Should be around $9) but I just thought of getting some coloured eye liners. (I love layering the Catrice Liquid Metal eyeshadow over this blue eyeliner!) :)
Various Brushes!
Decided to pick up a couple of makeup brushes from the drugstore! I can't remember the exact prices but I'll give an estimate :)
Catrice Liquid Metal Eyeshadow (in shade 060 Petrol Pan)
Picked this up from Guardian for $9 I think. I've been loving having a pop of colour on my lower lash line and picked this up for that reason. Really pigmented! :)
Sephora Lip Set (was limited edition)
Picked this little lip set up at Sephora for $29. Get way to try a couple new lip products! Comes with:
-Tarte Lip Gloss in Blissful
-NYX Butter Lipstick in BLS22 Gumdrop
-Too Faced Melted Lipstick in Melted Fuchsia
-Sephora Rouge Infusion in 10 Red Essence
-Givenchy Le Rouge Lipstick in 202 Rose Dressing
Catrice Limited Edition Matt Lip Cream in C01 Never Leave Coral Reef
To be honest, I got this because I thought the packaging looked like Whitening Lightening Lip Glosses. I picked this up for $7.90 (I think) and even though I haven't really used this often enough, I really like the formula of this. The colour is really pretty too :)
Maybelline Fit Me Foundation (in shade 120 Classic Ivory)
Picked this up when I was in Australia. I have tried this a couple of times and it's not the best foundation for oily skin. Also it doesn't give amazing coverage. I used this on days where I need just a little coverage but I have to powder loads.
Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation (in shade 810 Classic Ivory)
Also picked this guy up in Australia. Was really excited to see it there since Covergirl isn't available in Singapore. I have tried this already and to be honest I don't know why people were raving about this product. To me it just seems like an average foundation.
