Estee Lauder Pure Colour Passion Fruit Shimmer Swatch & Mini LUSH Haul

As promised in my Freebie Alert's post, here are the swatches for the Estee Lauder Pure Colour Pasion Fruit Shimmer that came along with the Marie Claire purchase. Sorry it took me so long to have this swatches up as you already know, editing these photos has always been a bitch as my laptop will crash at least once whenever I use Picasa. =.="

Estee Lauder Pure Colour Pasion Fruit Shimmer

The colour is relatively sheer when I apply it on my lips but it smells REALLY good.I am a sucker when it comes to lip products which smell good, don't we all? =P

It's a pretty good deal IMO. I mean come on, it costs $9.20 (since I am not really a fan of Marie Claire so I will probably just browse through it) for a full size Estee Lauder Lip Gloss which looks and smells nice. 

If you're up for trying out new product, go grab a copy of Marie Claire before they run out.:)

So, I have mentioned countless time on twitter that I am going on a shopping ban. So many times that my followers are probably sick of hearing it. Well, I do admit that I have a problem here,just like Rebecca Bloomwood, except the fact that I still have my Asian genes with me (meaning I wouldn't spend $1000 on a t-shirt just because its"designer") and I don't have a Credit Card (that means no debt as of yet). However, spending more than what I earn or spending all my wages is not exactly the smartest thing to do too. 

I am still working on it, and hopefully by the end of this month, I can go on without shopping for at least 2 weeks. WISH ME LUCK! 

From Priceline: this Anti-Dark Circles Roll-On and my contacts solutions. =)

PS: PRICELINE IS CURRENTLY HAVING A BUY ONE GET ONE FREE OFFER FOR MAX FACTOR EYES PRODUCTS & MAYBELLINE IS HAVING A $3 OFF THEIR ENTIRE RANGE.

I was relatively proud of myself for walking out of Priceline without buying anything unnecessary AND walking out of SUPRE without buying that 10DORRAR tights (which I bought for AUD18 2 weeks ago wtf) and this pretty sweatshirt (because I already bought 2 from Cotton On and I don't really need that many sweatshirts, really) but I have a feeling I might go back and grab the tights just because tights is a STAPLE item in my wardrobe and its 10bucks! We shall see. 

However, that did not last for long as I walked into LUSH to "browse through" their products and came out with a bag of goodies. Should of expected it since I am a huge LUSH fan. =.="

Well, my justification? Soaps IS part of essentials =P 

I mean, girls should smell good all the time right?

1. Rockstar (Sample)

2. Sultana of Soap

3. Porridge Soap

4. The Godmother (Sample)

* I didn't want to open the wrappers as I don't intend to use all of them at the same time. So just click on the name if you wanna see the description and how it looks like :)*

Are you a LUSH fan? Have you tried any of these soaps?

:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:

A sneak peak of what my next FOTD =P 

Hope you have a great week ahead!! :)

Weather was miserable today and will probably gonna be for the rest of the week. And, I have work tomorrow. BOO! :(

Freebies Alert :D

Hey lovelies!

How was your weekend? I had a pretty hectic one, eventful but not productive and perhaps the most random Saturday ever! 

Weekend kicked off on Friday with pre drinks @ Sanctuary, Korean BBQ Buffet with soju, more drinks & dancing @ Sharkies cos we're bad ass like this. Saturday is usually my "recovery" day aka sloth day, doing absolutely nothing but I made an exception this week and had a lunch date with a friend whom just got back from exchange and one whom I have been trying to "set an appointment with her" in the past 6 months (what a bitch! I know you're reading this LOL). With only a casual lunch date in mind and after a hectic night out the night before, I was in an absolutely couldn't be bothered mode and that means minimum make up. AND, the only day I decided not to bring my make up bag along because I was so sure that it wasn't gonna be more than 2 hours. 

But guess what?

Lunch led to Indonesian Festival @ Darling Harbour, which further led to chilling & chit chatting by the harbour for a good 2 hours, then dinner, then crashing my friend's friend's birthday.

On THE day where I dressed EXTREMELY casually (was wearing similar outfit to this - except I had my thigh high boots on and a cardigan instead of the faux leather jacket), with utterly gross hair and minimum make up (without my make up bag to save the day, or in this case night), that party was filled with quite a handful of eye candy and a MEGA HOT guy. FML

SO girls, moral of the story - ALWAYS carry your make up bag when you're out AND DON'T dress like a bum even when you're feeling majorly cbf-ed LOL. 

Ok back to the main point of today's post (gotta stop digressing all the time),

The September's Marie Claire issue comes with a FULL SIZE Estee Lauder Pure Colour Lipgloss in 11- Passion Fruit Shimmer! 

I found out about it from Jojoba (She had a more detailed explanation here) and I finally got myself a copy today. It is retailed for A$42 but it came free with Marie Claire which costs A$9.20. Definitely a good buy and it was only released today if I am not mistaken. I tried it on the moment I bought it and I really like the colour. Swatches coming soon. :) 

So, for you lip gloss lover out there (and is Australia based of course), go and grab a copy of Marie Claire before it is gone! =P

Proper blogging resumes when I edit my second batch of photos. I tried this evening but my fked up ASUS just kept crashing =.="

Hope you have a great week ahead! :)

XOXO,

A
