Semester ends

I finished my exam today, settled all my documents and I am finally done with 2nd year!
It is officially summer break for me and in 4 days time, I am heading back home.
So happy and excited.

Also, I am worrying about my luggage weight. I am literally transporting my wardrobe and vanity from Moscow back to Malaysia and forth.

I did a very small cosmetics haul today.
Max Factor and Rimmel had some clearance at the Hypermarket so I just grabbed some items.
It is unusual to see a price slash for cosmetics over here.

Here is what I picked up.
Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick, Max Factor eyeshadow and Merilin Lipgloss.


The colour I got for Rimmel Lasting Finish lipstick is 038 In Vogue.

It is a bright dark pink with blue undertones.

The swatch for the Merilin lipgloss.
The lipgloss is cheap yet the pigmentation is great, pretty long lasting and not sticky.
What that may irk people off is the scent. It is somewhat like a plastic sugar smell. Not very pleasant.
but I always go back to get more of them since they only cost 25Rubles.

The last one is the Max Factor eyeshadow.

My obsession with brown eyeshadows never end. 

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.

Shine high.

went out to celebrate my friend's birthday at an Southern American-styled restaurant.
Took us quite awhile to find out where the restaurant is located and the wind was strong during that night.
I kinda regretted wearing leggings, kinda froze myself to death.

cozy environment.

EOTD

basically my eye liner style is pretty the same lately, just  switching up eyeshadow colours eventhough it is not obvious at all.

A light touch of essence eyeshadow in #24.

I just can't stop buying stuffs.
So today when I was doing grocery shopping, I picked up a few items.

Skinlite mask.
These are affordable masks that won't hurt your wallet and for me, they work well.
My skin is at its best condition in months now, due to stricter skin regime and also using of this mask.
no more spots or pimples or acnes.
So far I only used the oatmeal variant. I like it.
Doesn't irritate my skin with its heating effect, makes my skin feel supple and smooth.

Merilin eyeshadows.

I don't need anymore earth colour eyeshadow but still i can't stop getting them especially when they come cheap.

A normal dark brown and a golden white.

The swatches

Not bad for 30 roubles.
The downside it has quite a lot of fall out.

I also went to Yves Rocher. Yves Rocher is a French beauty brand that is almost like The Body Shop but with more affordable prices.
They were having sales.

This product can be used as an eyeshadow or highlighter.
I bought this with the purpose to use it as a highlighter. It is so pretty!

My random swatch of it.
unblended and blended out. A little goes a long way. If applied too much one can look like a disco ball.

31st December

This time I found something really interesting off the Russian hypermarket's cosmetic section rack.

Merilin Liquid Lipstick.
It is really cheap and it is really really pigmented.
28 roubles per tube.

It comes in so many colors that I lost count how many, it was just placed in a box to be picked up.

The first time I went, I picked up 4 tubes.

The packaging is really cheap but you can't expect much for something that cost so cheap.

They don't have a proper colour name, they are named by numbers for their colour.

From left : 06, 04, 05, 11

06 - a light bubblegum pink
04 - a bright orange with some peach undertones
05 - medium warm pink
11 - hot pink

2nd time I went I picked up three colours!

More colours of the pink family.
I saw a nude tone the first day I went, I regretted not purchasing it. It is sold out.

From left : 20, 08, 03

20 - medium cool tone pink
08 - hot pink with less fuchsia undertones compared to 11
03 - mauve pink

So far this is the best thing i found in hypermarket.
It is very pigmented and very little is needed to apply for full lips and it last pretty long too.

the bad thing is it has a funky scent. I don't even know how to describe the scent.
