Cherry Culture Haul : Jordana, NYX

It has been awhile since I had a American beauty haul. I ordered this quite some time ago via a spree from CherryCulture.com

http://www.cherryculture.com/index.php
There's a 20% off right now! 

This site is a great site to get cheap and great cosmetics from brands like NYX, L.A. Colors, Jordana etc.

I love getting NYX from site comapred to getting from Sephora here because it is cheaper.

This time, I got two NYX Rouge Cream Blush. In, Orange and Boho Chic.

Also, four lipsticks from Jordana. I haven't seen these colours before this, it seems like they are new from the 'pinks' line.
Not a very big haul. 

The cream blushes.

I absolutely love the cream blushes from NYX, not only they have a great variety of colours, they are also pigmented. 

Cream blushes give a more dewy look compared to powder blushes which give a more matte look. This is the reason why girls who opt for the dewy look will tend to use cream blushes to finish off their look.

Orange just screams 'Orangeeee!'

It is a fun colour for the spring/summer season, it can also be a great colour for everyday use, it give a fresh look to the face.

Boho Chic is a pale pink with silver shimmers.

It is a very sweet colour.

I got four lipsticks from Jordana. The matte lipstick line are golden in colour whereas the normal line is in silver.

Pink Showstopper.

It is a bright barbie pink.

Blushed.

It is a rosy pink.

Sweet Sorbet.

It is a medium pink with shimmers!? Isn't this suppose to be a matte line, why is there shimmers? 

Candied Pink is the only one that is not from the matte line.
The colour is almost like Pink Showstopper, a barbie pink.

That's all I got from Cherry Culture this time.

Hello July! Haul Mania - Cherry Culture Part 2

Happy 1st of July.
The days go by so fast and now it is the 2nd half of the year.

Now, we continue with Cherry Culture haul batch 2/part 2.
If you miss part 1, please click here to check it out.

The overall of the haul. I got them when Cherry Culture had a 20% off. They always have 20% off now and then, so check this site when they do have it.

They offer a wide variety of good cosmetics at an affordable price.

The lipsticks. Three Jordana lipsticks - The silver packaging is their normal line and the gold one is the matte line and a NYX lipstick.
The NYX lipstick melted in transit.  Now it looks like a pile of melted goo in the tube.

NYX lipsticks are very sensitive to heat. Keep them out of reach from hot places if you don't want your lipstick to end up melting.

The colours I got.

The lipglosses.
3 NYX megashine lipgloss and 2 NYX round lipgloss.
From left : NYX round lipgloss in Real Nude, NYX megashine lipgloss in Nude Peach, Beige, Pink Rose, NYX round lipgloss in 24 Karat.

Jordana blushers.
The new Jordana blushers come in a shiny silver packaging while the old ones are in Grey.
I don't like any of the packaging because they just look cheap but for the price paid, can't complain about it.
It is now priced at USD2.45, used to be USD1.99. Not sure what upgrade they had done to the blushers.

I got mine in Sunlit Bronze and Stardust.

This is one of the more expensive product I got from this haul.
Milani Powder Bronzer in Light.
It is darker than expected, I should had gotten Radiant.

NYX powder blushers in Cinnamon and Pinky.
Orange and Bright Hot Pink are popular blush colours in Japan. If you can't get hold of Candy Doll's blushers, I suggest to try out NYX's.
You get more product from NYX compared to Candy Doll and it is also cheaper from NYX.

The last two items for this haul are the LA colors eyeshadow trios.

Passion Flower.

Orchid.

Haul mania - Cherry Culture Part 1

Now is to the Cherry Culture haul - part 1.
Wow, looks like I have a lot of hauls to show right. Well, all the items are collectively bought in the span of 10 months.

Here is what I have picked up.
Actually all I wanted was just the highly raved Milani Baked Blushers but me being me, my hands got itchy and this is what happened.

Jordana Incolor Squeeze an' Shine Super Shiny Tasty Lip Gloss in Honey Luau and  Strawberry Icing.
These lipglosses smell great. They just smell so good that you just wanna lick them off your lips.
When I first received them in the package, my whole package smelt like these lipglosses.

NYX Round Lipsticks in from left : Strawberry Milk, Fig, Orange Soda, Pumpkin Pie.
I previously owned Strawberry Milk, Orange Soda and Pumpkin Pie. They are my go to colours and these are backups.
I grabbed them before their price increase. They were sold at USD1.75 each previously on Cherry Culture.

Jordana Matte Lipstick in Lavender Lady.
It only cost USD1.30 which is super affordable, no harm picking them out to try.
What I hate the most is the fact that the lipstick doesn't twist all the way down, it is so easy to damage the lipstick while capping/uncapping it.
Lavender Lady is a purple toned pink lipstick.

LA girl HD high definition concealer. The colour I got is in Natural.
This concealer has been receiving high reviews from the beauty community, at USD2, I thought I just couldn't miss the chance so I placed an order for it.
I am not a concealer person but it is fun to try out different things.

Natural seems the perfect fit for my skintone. The last time I checked with MAC, I am a NC20 but since I moved to Moscow, I think I got somewhat lighter.

It is a bit of risk to order this since there wasn't ample swatches and the swatches on Cherry Culture doesn't help at all. 

NYX Lip pencil in Dolly Pink and Rose.

They are shorter what I expect them to be. 

Dolly Pink is a bright barbie pink.

Rose is a light toned rose pink. 

Now comes the highly anticipated drugstore blushers.

The ones I got are Dolce Pink and Luminoso. 

The last two items I got from this batch of Cherry Culture haul. 

NYX single eyeshadow in Sparkle Cedar and Jordana Loose Eyeshadow in Brownie.

Stay tune for part 2 or the 2nd batch of Cherry Culture haul. =)

July's favourites

Since I am back I can get in touch with more of my makeup, I am gonna do my few favourites of this month.

Elianto eyeshadow in Light Salmon
The texture is a little chalky but it's the colour that draws me to like it. it seems to just go well with the browns.
Very lovely and useful colour. I reach out to this colour a lot.

Jordana eyeshadow in Over the Taupe
gorgeous colour, not chalky stays on really long and doesn't crease with a primer and extremely affordable. I am loving it a lot!


MAC mineralize skin finishbest ever powder used. I am gonna stick using this for awhile until there's even better one.
Doesn't give the chakey feeling when applied, so natural on the skin with good coverage. It minimises the pores on my face.
Last very long too. Worth every penny I payed for.

Taiwanese handmade lashes which can be purchased from Ebay.com
I like this style since it gives a voluminous and flirty lash look since it accentuates the ends.
Makes the eye looks longer.

Essence glossy lipbalm in pink dragonfruit
I just find myself reaching for this product often. I like the scent and it taste sweet when licked.
The colour payoff is very good for this one and t does give nice glossy sheen.
Just that it doesn't last long but I don't mind reapplying.

Maybelline volum' express hypercurl cateyes mascara in feline black
Since the wand is in comb style it's really good for bottom lashes, I use it mostly for bottom lash.
It's very waterproof, doesn't flake, doesn't smudge nor budge after applied and super black.
Just removing it an be a tough job at times.

Cherry Culture haul

Another package arrives. I know I haul hella a lot. This is a collective one I didn't blow up my cash one shot.

I got them because there were a 25% of anything LA color on Cherry Culture, followed by a 20% off anything on Cherry Culture.

The loot.


Swatch of the Jordana Liquid Eyeliner. Woots! The quality is so good for 1.99 + 20% off.
I got it in blue and black. It only comes in 3 colors, blue, black and brown.
I wish it had more choices of colour.

Here comes the swatches!!The swatch for LA color baked eyeshadow in equinox. I swatched it dryThe black is not very prominent, infact sheer, the rest of the color are good.
They aren't very smooth either.

LA color 5 color metallic eyeshadow in cafe au lait.
This one is crazy pigmented and smooth. I love it!

The top row for the Amuse 6 blush palette. The top left blush colour infact is a scary colour.
I don't know if this is gonna work as a blush. Bottom 3 colours.

A little lootie.

I don't get it. Why people always mess up my order.

Went to eat at Just Talk Cafe yesterday.Nice environment, nice lighting (oh romantic lighting) and stuff...
It took me really freaking long for my order, apparently they messed up with the order and had to remade my meal.
It's pretty frustrating to wait long for a meal.

My Iced Milk Tea. I love milk teas to the max!

This not my haul. It's my friend'sI'm just posting here so you can see the colour swatches. Yea, I asked her permission and I suppose to take a pic for her since she won't get it till Monday.

NYX megashine lipgloss in Salsa.
A super bright hot fuchsia. Really pretty and fun colour

ELF mineral lipgloss in NightOwl.
A deep brownish berry colour with gold shimmers. Not my colour but I am sure she will pull it well since she has darker skintone.

The ELF mineral kit. This is what comes with it. I forgot to snap a pic of the pouch.
It comes with a foundation, concealer, blush, bronzing brush, total face brush and a travel pouch.

The colour of the dark foundation and Rose blush.
