Watsons haul : It's great to be back there again

Last month I did went back to Malaysia for a short three weeks. Since I was really busy, I didn't post much about my trip and adventures in Malaysia. Most of my posts have been past drafts.

Now, I am coming to you all with a haul post from Watsons Malaysia.

I have noticed some changes of brands in Watsons Malaysia. It seems like to me, they have stopped carrying Majolica Majorca. This is such a bummer since Majolica Majorca produces one of favourite mascaras ever.

These are what I have picked up from Watsons.

Essence Longlasting Lipliner.

I haven't seen these around in Moscow and I was surprised to see them in Watsons because you know we are actually much slower when it comes to getting Essence releases over here.
When I was looking at the counter, most of the shades are out of stock. In the end, I settled for these two available shades.

Left : Girl Next Door 
Right : A Girl's Dream

I own quite a lot of Kate items but they are mostly eye products since for Japanese drugstore brand, I do find that Kate has the best eye quads. They are really gorgeous. 
This time I want to try something different so, I got a lipstick from Kate to try out. 

The packaging is a sleek black tube.

The last item I got from this haul is KissMe Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow in 03. 

This is an eyebrow mascara. Since I dyed my hair, I thought I would go back using eyebrow mascara to cover the black  in my eyebrows to match my hair. KissMe's has always been my favourite. I have tried Kate's but in the end, I still like KissMe's better because it does not contain shimmers and it is creamier.

Candy Glitters

Ever heard about Candy Doll, the famous Japanese cosmetic brand produced by Masuwaka Tsubasa.
It is a popular among gyaru and also Japanese teens and young adults.

I ordered this Candy Doll blush in Strawberry Pink all the way from Taiwan before Sasa carried it. 
It is cheaper to get from Taiwan than Japan due to the shipping fees and also it is original eventhough it is from Taiwan.

Strawberry Pink is a typical bright pink blush which is good for creating dolly cheeks. 
Japanese girls like to apply their blush in a circular motion with a pink colour to create cute dolly cheeks.

It is not stated how many grams the blush comes with.

Another Japanese brand item I got is KATE's cream eyeshadow.
We know how Japanese girls are obsessed with shimmer and glitters.

The glitters are so great, it is so pretty and the price is affordable for a Japanese drugstore price range.

Super gorgeous gold glitters *o*
I think I am going back to get moreeee!

Glitter days

Was at Tokyo Street.
Off to try Shimino crepes again. I love crepes eventhough I know how fattening it is.

The company is from Harajuku.

I chose mine in Strawberry.

The strawberries + fresh whipped cream taste so good.
Such a guilty pleasure.

Have been lemming over a can can hat for the longest time (since last year)
I finally got it eventhough maybe I am already out of style but prices seems to have drop since when it was first hyped up.
with 2 flowers.
This one is actually the last piece but it is also the cutest one. So I bought it.


There's also lace design on it.

On the makeup side, it seems they brought in the new products for this season.
I think there's not much mentioning of this product too.
KAte jewel karat eyeshadow.

If you are lemming/lusting over the Dolly Wink cream eyeshadows.
This one is a cheaper alternative.
Still in its packaging.
This cream eyeshadow comes in 1.7g of product.
Little goes a long way.

Packaging is sturdy plastic with the very typical Kate style carat cut design on it.
The colour I got is WT-01. There's 8 colours to choose from if I am not mistaken.

The product.
Very shimmery. The shimmers are very fine and subtle.
It's the shimmers that the gyaru girls love.

The last buy aka the buy that broke my bank.

I've got it the foundation the girls from ViVi besides RMK, more expensive than RMK in Japan atleast, but here, it's the same price.
It's the Lunasol water cream foundation N.
Comes in a reflective packaging. Very elegant.


Super elegant right?
My colour is in OC02.
I actually thought of repurchasing my Chanel foundation but then even everything's good.
The colour wise, it's getting yellowish for my skin. I don't know my undertone changed or i got fairer?
This one is still yellow base with hints of pinks but not as yellow as Chanel's. Suits my Asian skin.

I tried the Lunasol at the counter. I like the finish and the texture, a bit watery for a cream foundation but it makes it easy to spread.
Coverage is medium and better than the iquid foundation of the same line.
Smooth and easy to spread and not cakey or streaky (Maybelline Affintone's nightmare).
It contains 60% water so it .
Now I had it for few hours, has not caked up, my face is not oily, no break out yet.
So far so good.
Gonna try it out more on the days I feel more luxurious to put on this expensive foundation.
