15th of June

Another haulage coming here!
I have been picking up stuffs to please myself. I am oh so materialistic.

I bought more lip stuff especially the lip liners, so many backups, they are so cheap yet so good.
They cost only 13 Roubles (USD0.40).
Such a steal!

The other lipliner colour I has swatched it here.

This one is a dark bright pink.

I wore this today and I really love it.

Merilin Lip Gloss and Water Shine Lipgloss.
I am looking for a peachy lipgloss colour so I bought them

They look the same in the swatch.
The top swatch is Merilin Water Shine Lipgloss. Bottom is the normal lip gloss.
The normal lipgloss is more opaque than the water shine lipgloss.


And the 15% off at the nearby beauty store.
Picked up two foundations for the sake of picking up something. I need more foundations as if I need a hole in my head.

Ninelle Matt Effect Foundation in 101 and Max Factor Pan Stick.

I tried the tester for Max Factor's pan stick and I immediately fell in love with the fact that it is a stick foundation.
It is very creamy and heavy coverage from what I've tried from the tester.
I never tried a stick form foundation before but I find it very convenient to have one especially when you are on the go or traveling.
It cost 269Roubles for 9g.

Ninelle Matt Effect Foundation was an impulse buy because of the nice packaging, the champagne and pink is a nice combination and the fact it says it is a matt foundation.
It cost 199Roubles for 35ml.


Also I bought something cool that I've wanted for so longgg!

a fox tail! Huge one and it only cost 300 Roubles at the souvenir area.
Loving it so much, it is so soft. 

Mini haul-lip stuff

I haven't been posting for awhile because I have been busy with exams and now since everything is over.
I am back with full force.

I finally cleared all my credit, all I need to do now is to sit for finals in a week time then It's time for me to fly back home.
I am so excited!!

Also here comes a mini haul.

I picked up some affordable cosmetics from the Hypermarket.
All of cosmetics cost less than USD1 each.

Lavelle lipgloss. They are shimmery lipgloss and really pigmented for their price.

The left swatch is a bronzy-gold-orange color with gold shimmer.
The right swatch is a yellow toned pink with silver shimmer.

Merilin lipgloss. This brand, although it is cheap, the pigmentation , consistency of their  lipgloss is awesome. I bought their lipgloss before and I am in love with them.

Here are the swatches.

isn't the pigmentation so great? I am in love with this lip gloss
The top is a mid-tone rose color.
and the bottom is a bubblegum light pink color.

A bubblegum pink lipliner from Fennel.
It is pigmented and very creamy.

That's all for the haul.
Planning to buy more to bring back home.

Welcoming summer soon

It seems the emotion-fixing period is short lived. I am so proud of myself that I don't hang on things too long. I hope!

So it's my blockmate's birthday and we had a bash for her. Bring her to Chili's in Arbat Street and Red Square.

Before the post, let's have a EOTD.
My eye makeup is always almost the same but doesn't hurt to post one.

Just it is not a great eyelash day.

Then to the FOTD.

Then now to the food in Chili's

My meal, Mile High Chicken.
It taste so heavenly topped with cheese and bacon together with mushrooms.

Not sure what is this meal called.
I think it is honey spicy chicken.

My Vanilla Milkshake.

Pina Colada.

A final picture of me in the bus.

A polaroid picture of St. Basil's Cathedral.

It was really fun to see so many High School graduates hanging out in Red Square.
I really envy them, being able to photograph their graduation shot in such a beautiful place. I didn't have a proper graduation ceremony when I finished my secondary education.

I also did a mini buy in between.
Just some very cheap mascaras, I bought because I was intrigued by the wand.

Fennel's Perfect Fixer Natural and Volume Exact Mascara.

The wands.

Volume exact's wand.
I actually used Fennel's Volume Exact Mascara for my EOTD, topped with Rimmel's sexy curves full figure.

Perfect Fixer Natural Mascara's wand.

They are a little wet but I am fine with it. So far it didn't smudge but I will try them out more before I draw into a conclusion about them. 

Colours in white.

Since the hypermarket stocked up with more cheap nailpolishes. It screams haul time.

There's a lot of colours. Say goodbye to pitiful nailpolish collection I have here. I can experiment with more colours. 

I stopped by Body Shop and got myself a tub of body butter since my old one is finishing.

For Body Shop's body butters a little goes a long way and they are the best dry skin savers, for me. Just applying them religiously daily, I can get baby soft skin even during the harshest of winter.

Coconut scent is heavenly. I love coconut scented stuffs reminds me of my tropical homecountry.

A try out of yesterday's Fennel mascaras I bought.

Volume Rich.
It does make my lashes more voluminous than before applied but not as much as desired. Doesn't clump . Doesn't hold curl at all. Very easily removed with oil-based eyemakeup remover and water. Smudges when you rub your eyes or in contact with water.
Overall good mascara for its price

Natural Fiber.

This one is more clumpy and doesn't hold curl at all. It does lengthen my lashes a little but I do not see any fiber in the mascara. Smudges when you rub your eyes or in contact with water.

Very easily removed with oil-based eyemakeup remover. 

Also a good mascara for its price. 

November snow.

It started snowing here. I hate it. It is at the phase where it is half snow half ice since the temperature hasn't dip too low yet and it isn't so warm that the snow will melt upon touching the ground.

So freaking slippery. Makes me wanna cry when I walk. 

Lately I am so busy thus I really haven't been going out thus there's basically nothing about my life I can post now. 

Anyway I just bought some toiletries,face product and a wee bit of cosmetics around this month. 

The weather has been changing drastically over here, skin peeling everywhere, especially my nose and feet. 

I am gonna post about the toiletries and cosmetics first. The products shall be left later since I want to post it along with a short review.

First up a bath product by French brand
Le Petit Marseilais.

I bought this product because it smells so much like autumn, the heavenly blend of white peach and nectarine.
Very different from any scent of the bath products here, it is really rare to get bath products with nice fruity scent over here. The selection of bath product here is really scarce.
Makes me wonder do people here take bath. lols.

Next up, are mascaras.
They are just really cheap one that my friend ask me to try because she likes them.
I am not sure if I will like them yet but my lashes and her's are way different, her's is so long and voluminous and mine is hardly visible without all the thick layers of mascaras.
Hope this will somehow work for me

 The brush for the volume rich

The brush for Natural Fibre.

I don't see any difference in the brush shape in both mascaras. The brush is just your normal big brush.

Also bought new nail polishes. There's not much of selection of colours here, but I found this really nice lilac purple

and there's another tube of green. It leans more to Sea Green.
I will swatch it the next time I repaint my nails.

And also this time there's a EOTD.

No eyeliner, Everything seems so much cleaner without the eyeliner.
Circle lens is Fynale Y11. I just applied a thin layer of mascara and brown and grey eyeshadow.

first cosmetic buy in Autumn

Just a mini buy just because I felt like buying them.

They are really cheap, so i don't expect much from them.

A Fennel lipstick that comes in a cheap looking packaging.

Cost 13 roubles. 

It is a nude pink lipstick that comes with hardly there shimmers.

The application is smooth and quite moisturizing for its price but it tends to accentuate fine lines.
It can be fixed with a lipgloss. 

A swatch of it. Loving this lip colour for its price.

Another thing is a loose eyeshadow.

 It comes in a cheap plastic packaging like this. I am not gonna complain.

Opened up!

To the swatches

They are not for the faint of heart, super glittery like powder glitter instead of eyeshadow. Some colours are hardly visible but some look pretty  especially the gold, brown and peach shade. 

Have a lot of fall out.

Overall quite a bad eyeshadow but since I got it ,shall use it ..
