ASIA TRIP HAUL PART 2 - MALAYSIA :)

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY to my Australian Readers!!!! :) 

Having a day off in mid week is just exactly what I needed! Started the day with Pad Thai (Guilty as charged, but hey I had a 2 hours gyming session the day before!), then headed to Bondi for a good tanning session and wave catching (I just wanna get slightly darker and I am set :P) and finished the day off with half a litre of cold German mango beer @ Bavarian Beer Cafe. What a friggin' awesome day it was! 

This is my PART 2 of my ASIA HAUL post - stuff I got from Malaysia. [Click HERE for Part 1 - Singapore Haul] I didn't buy that much make up in Malaysia as I barely had enough time. Instead, I shop for "necessities" like work clothes and more clothes. Lol. 

MALAYSIA HAUL

Here are a couple of stuff I got from MAC, not much as I was trying to resist myself not to purchase my 237472937423th lipstick although they were way cheaper than Australia. I reckon I have done a pretty good job, albeit I did kinda regret it now. =.="

MAC

MAC LET ME POP PAINT POT from MAC Cham Tale's collection. 

I have been using this daily along with my Illamasqua Powdered Metal in Ether as all over the lid colour (FOTD post HERE) as I try to keep my make up as simple as possible thanks to the sweltering weather here in Sydney. 

MAC Viva Glam Lipglass in Cyndi which I have always wanted! I am so glad I waited till Malaysia as I paid $20 instead of $35! Make me k

inda wanna kick myself for not buying more lipsticks, now that I think about it. Adeline, you have enough lipsticks! 

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Medium

SHU UEMURE

I also bought the SHU UEMURE eyebrow pencil in Hard 9 after I got my eyebrows done. :)

ETUDE HOUSE

For those of you who don't know, I am a HUGE Etude House fan! They have the CUTEST packaging in PINK and they are reasonably priced! They are always having sales too! :)

Here are a few stuff that I got from Etude House: 

ETUDE HOUSE PETITE DARLING EYE SHADOWS - The names come in Korean and I speak no Korean! LOL.

Although I am not really a green person, this green caught my eyes the moment I stepped into Etude House and I knew I had to get it! As for the taupe and white eyeshadows, one can't have too many neutrals right? =P

As you can see, the colours pay off is really great and they are really pigmented! 

Eyeliner brush and multi-purpose eyeshadow brush. 

Etude House Exfoliator from the Moistful range. I have tried several exfoliator but I find myself coming back to this one all the time. (I will do a comparison between different exfoliators, sometime soon. :D) This is my second tube btw :)

RANDOM DRUGSTORE PRODUCTS

I swear I went into Watsons Malaysia and came out with RM200 (approximately AUD70) worth of stuff but I realised they aren't that many stuff when I was taking photos for this post!

Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner - my HG (and only) eyeliner that I have been using for the past one year. I am almost hitting pan on my second tub now. 

Maybelline Magnum Volum Express Waterproof Mascara - I'd choose this over Colossal anytime. 

KATE REFLECT MIRROR EYES IN PU-2

I bought this because of the good reviews about several Kate products but this trio is definitely a huge disappointment. I wore this to work and the inner corner of my lid creased within an hour (and that's WITH primer). Granted, my eyes were watery that day. But even then, most of my other shadows are able to withstand my watery eyes for a good couple of hours before it creased. And even then, it is not as visible as this. Also, the colours aren't that pigmented so that's a huge no for me as I am all for pigmented products. 

LAST BUT NOT LEAST,  

Random, "kawaii" hairclips. 

I got these clips for a couple of my blog-pals as they are into the whole gyaru, kawaii stuff. :) And the fushia pink clip with diamantes on the left is for an upcoming surprise that I have for my readers. :P

This sums up my Asia Trip haul posts! (Click HERE for Part 1 :D) I hope you guys enjoyed my haul posts as much as I enjoy doing them.

Do let me know if you want me to do a detailed review on any of these products. :)

XOXO,

FOTD - Play On Drum V2

Hello lovelies!!!

How was your weekend? I hope you had a more interesting one than I had.

 My weekend was spent studying for my upcoming CFA exam, which I know I am going to fail anyways. I am taking Wednesday - Friday off work to study for a paper I am going to fail, which is, in my opinion, such a waste of annual leave. After spending all weekend studying, I can now say I no longer miss uni life, at least not the studying part! Unfortunately, I have 2 years of studying to go (while working full time, may I add) when I start my CA next year, Oh, the life of an accountant. All these studying and stuff is making me having thoughts about what I really wanna do in life but I shall not bore you guys any further with my quarter life crisis "drama".

As mentioned in my  FOTW - Working Series #5 : Play On Drum post, I am going to share with you guys a more "complicated" look using MAC Mineralized Eyeshadow in Play On Drum.

 TBH, it isn't really that much harder, its more like the other one is much easier. 

On my EYES

ELF Mineral Eyeshadow Primer

KATE gel eyeshadow in BR-1 (as base)

MAC Mineralized Eyeshadow in Play on Drum

Light Pink from TheFaceShop Jewel Effect Duo (as highlight)

Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Hazelnut

Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Eyeliner

Milani Liquif'eye Metallic Eyeliner Pencil in Brown

Loreal Voluminous Curved Brush Mascara in Black

I used the peachy colour as an over the lid colour and the copperish brown colour as a crease and outer V colour. I applied more product on my outer V to give the look a better dimension. :)

Also, my lid colour isn't as coral looking as my other FOTD because I used KATE Gel Eyeshadow in BR-1 (which is a champagne-copperish colour) as a base instead of MAC Coral Crepe Paint Pot.

On my FACE

Cancer Council Australia Tinted Moisturizer in Light Cream (Review coming soon! :P)

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Silky Beige

Garnier Anti Dark Circles Roll On in light

  Maybelline Mineral Powder Naturally Luminous Blush in True Peach

Illamasqua Powdered Metal in Ether (as highlight)

Milani Sunset Duo in Sunset City (bronzer for contouring)

(This is pretty much my face routine everyday right now. I have been replacing BB Cream  with tinted moisturizer and I might use foundation on Friday if I know I am going to stay out after work. Also, Garnier Anti Dark Circles Roll seems to be able to cover my disgusting dark circles lately - just when I thought it did a pretty crap job previously)

On my LIPS

MAC Lipstick in Shy Girl

Look at the dewy finish my Illamasqua Powdered Metal gives me!! It definitely brightens up my otherwise sleepy looking face. :)

Have a great week ahead lovelies!!! :)

XOXO,

A
