I was checking out BHG sales and saw that Gransenbon blushes are having additional $1 off from the discount price of SD$15!

If you have read Iris's blog, you would have know by now that Gransenbon has been discontinued. That explain the discount and no worry, these blushes have expiry date up to 2014/2015.

I got shade #4... but when I open up at home, I dont think it's the No4 I want (it's not as orange as I remember... and it should be alot darker as compare to shade #11. Cos, when I compare it to my shade #11.. it's lighter!)

It look more like Shade #12 (cos I opened up a new piece(at BHG) to look at the shade as there are no tester). Oh well... this is still a pretty coral pink (maybe they labelled it wrongly).. so do open up and check the item before you purchase ^_^

Edit: According to Iris (click here for her closeup on all the shades), the testers (@ Clementi BHG) were mix up for shade #4 and #9.  (Cos shade #9 is the bright shimmery orange shade that I want! ^,~)

swatches...

That's all for now ^,~

I didn't do much hauling "entries" lately (well, I wanna think that.. cos I still feel like I have been spending non-stop, lolx) and these are some stuff that I guess worth mentioning? (I noticed that most of the stuff I bought were repurchased.. so not going to include it.)

Last Month Iris went to US/UK and so nice of her to help afew of us to CP some stuff (Thank you very much Iris ^_^ and she also included a lip brush! <3 )

Sleek Caribbean collection -Curacao palette (£6.99) and Aruba blush (£4.29)
Sleek Oh So Special Palette (£6.99)
Lime Crime eyeshadow helper (USD$18.50)

swatches of the palettes coming up soon..

The cream was very creamy (I havent try this on my lids yet, and I believe it will be a pretty crease free base... cos the swatches I did at the back of my hand have a "stiff" finishing and it grab/stick on the skin really well!)

Got this Kate lasting high coverage liquid foundation during the Watson buy 2 get 1 free promotion (share it with Verlyn)

This does contain Mineral Oil (so if you have sensitive skin, pls remember to do a swatch test before purchasing) I donno why most kanebo products even skincares do contain mineral oil(I dont mind mineral oil in cleansing oil.. but on skincares and makeup products, I will always think twice and do a swatch test before buying.)

MAC Studio Sculpt SPF15 Foundation for my sis (She love full coverage foundation)
Price: SD$55

TOPSHOP skin glow in light [Price: SD$23]

This have a very pretty pinkish glow.. (Haven't try this on my skin yet.. if this is NICE, I think I will get the dark one- cos the bronze shade also look nice~)

Aquamoist Moisture Cleansing oil (Got this at the CozyCot event) Price: SD$13+(after discount)

Gransenbon Blush in 11 Sugar Marmalade (It a light coral shade- but it was so hard to capture the color on camera)
Price: SD$15 AT BHG (promotion price)

swatches..

Vichy Night Cream (Price: SD$29) repurchased product.. I just wanna say... I LOVE this alot!!!!!

Eyedrops.. I love using eyedrops/eye's wash cos my eyes are always having irritation cause by my sinus problem!!

And it can be double up as cleanser for eyes to remove all traces of powder/mascara/dust that traps inside the eyelids.(We might not feel or see it.. BUT buildup of dirts are collecting inside!!!!)

Optrex is my favourite!

If you have tried any refreshing eyedrops, do share with me (I'm a non contact lens user- so I can't use lubricant eyedrops meant for contact lens user right? Or I can still use it??)

Thanks Verlyn for this 2 pcs of Hello Kitty - My beauty diary Masks

The eyeshadows feel smooth and easy to blend. The pigmentation wasn't that intense, but it look and show up nicely on the lids. I can see myself using this often! (lolx)

I'm loving the Heroine make Impact frame & Curl Mascara that I got in HK(all thanks to Ming for CP~ing for me).

I'm giving KATE mascara base another chance cos Verlyn told me it work pretty good on her... I was thinking it's either the base work well with their own mascara(kate mascara) or the mascara that she use are pretty good in the first place :b becos, this time.. I still feel no different, just an extra applying step(lolx)

Do you see any different? compared to my usual mascara-ed lashes?

I have afew emails asking what kind of look I normally wear out for a short period of time around the neighbourhood.

Normally. I will wear sunblock + bbcream for running errands. (No need to go all the way to eyeshadow and brows.. I'm too lazy for that, lolx)

Well.. For this LOTD, it will be a look I wear when I'm going out for dinner with my family, somewhere not too far away. Like a mall nearby or afew bus stops away from my home(you get the ideas, places that have more crowds)

I'm using a single color on my lids with thick eyeliners.

(Above with flash - below pic without flash)

A very simple everyday look ...

On my face..
Nature republic Alsaka Aqua sunblock cream, SANA Pore Putty Moist base, Dr Jart+ bbcream(actually can skip bbcream if your skin condition is good... I just need more coverage for my redish skin), MAC studio Finish concealer(for my dark post acne marks that are way too dark to cover with bbcream) and MAC MSF in light to set.

On my cheeks...
Before I set my face with MAC MSF... I applied MUA Bronzage  (cream bronzer) on my cheekbones, MAC CreamJoie-De-Vivre creamblend blush on my cheeks. After setting my face with MAC MSF(just light blush around the cheek areas) . MAC Desert Rose Matte blush on the cheeks and top it with Gransebon Gran Decollete(swatches) highlight face powder in #02(nude flower) and as highlight too. (products in blue font was provided by the company)

MAC Desert Rose was a pretty intense matte blush.. I like to dap my blush brush on the powder and wipe it off on a tissue then apply on my cheeks.. if I need more.. I just dap the brush on the tissue to pick up the color again.

Here's the swatches of MAC Desert Rose Matte Powder blush...

(Above with flash, below pic without flash)

Swatch on a tissue

MAC Let me pop paintpot on the lids and blend blend blend... (brow's highlight.. I'm using MAC MSF to brighten up) Heavy Rotation Gel liner (I apply that on the tightline too) and Maquillage gel liner in GD855(Gold) on waterline. Majolica Majorca mascara.

On my brows... K Palette Real Lasting eyebrow 24hrs(Shade 01) and Canmake Coloring eyebrow mascara in #05(the newest shade).

Didn't wear any lip color.. :P If I'm going to put on a lip color, it would be some coral pink lipgloss.

With flash...

Pics taken without flash turn out to be abit too pale... the lighting wasn't strong cos the sky getting abit gloomy yesterday(evening).

I have been rocking these look almost everyday.. unless I going to town area. I normally use MAC paintpot or KATE Gel Shadow. Really simple right.. Cheeks color also play a big part on brightening up the eyes and face!

That's all ^__^

Finally, start using the Sugarpill's palette! I'm doing a pinkish look... Not too crazy and suitable for day time.
