Brow game is strong : mini haul

This is a mini haul and this time I got the Maybelline Brow Satin and Pupa Vamp! Wet & Dry Eyeshadow.

I was in search of a new eyebrow pencil and it looks like I have a good drugstore eyebrow pencil that I actually got two of them in different shades. I bought both of them at separately after I used one of them I really like it and got the lighter shade.
I forgot to mention, I got in Dark Brown and Medium Brown.

The brow product comes in a double ended side. One side is the pencil.
The pencil is really thin and small, very easy to maneuver on the brows. It is said to be comparable to the Anastasia Brow Wiz.
I have not tried the Anastasia Brow Wiz so I cannot give an in depth comparison.

The other side is  an applicator with powder.

I find this brow product very easy to use and it creates a flawfree brow with a soft natural touch.
The colours are very natural, even dark brown does not look too bold on my medium brown hair. I find there is not much difference between medium brown and dark. The undertones of the brow product. Both shades leans to the cool side with the medium brown slightly more warm than the dark brown.

This is my brows using the Maybelline Brow Satin in Deep Brown.

So far, I really love this brow product. It's definitely a keeper.

Pupa Vamp! Wet & Dry Eyeshadow in 301.

Pupa is a really underrated brand that I do not see many talking about them at all but I admit they are pretty hard to find and mostly available in Europe (I have seen them in SASA in Malaysia). It is an Italian brand.

So far I have own their lip products and have been enjoying them. They can get slightly pricey for drugstore but the quality of their products have been top notch Italian style.

Pupa's packaging is not the most aesthetically pleasing. In pictures, it can appear as cheap looking with the shiny silver lid and transparent body. Actually they are not too bad in real life, they still hold up pretty sturdy.

301 is a champagne peach colour. It is very shimmery and reflective. I do not know if this is the best word to describe it. It is very hi-shine. Gorgeous colour.
Shimmery eyeshadows are my weakness. I love my eyeshadows shimmery, it just opens up my eyes makes me look more awake. The Asian eyes.
The best colour as an all over lid colour and base colour. I am thinking of using it as a highlight since it also makes a gorgeous highlight shade.

Small makeup haul

Did a little buy at the near by beauty store.

Let me start with a rant.

I just don't know that this shop just hire rude arse ladies as their cashier and salesgirl of what. 

The lady today was super rude. Just because I don't understand your language that well, you don't need to go humiliate me and go complain really loud to your colleagues and be rude to me. 

I don't owe you anything, I am still paying for the items I purchase. So if you are unhappy because I am that foreigner in your shop, just keep your dissatisfaction to yourself or till I leave the shop, you didn't need complain to your colleagues loudly infront of me and you do not need to treat me as rude as hell at the counter while I was paying. 

How disgraceful of that lady.

I bought a few items from the store, some are repurchases.

L'oreal Lumi Magique Foundation, Catrice EyeBrow Pencil and Essence Eyeliner Brush.

Another repurchase that is not in this picture is the Botaniqueserie makeup base and some toiletries.

The Botaniqueserie makeup base was on sale and placed at the end of the rack with only 2 tubes left. I am afraid they are gonna discontinue this product thus I pick up one tube as a backup since I like this product.

The L'oreal Lumi Magique Foundation. 

I am very into a luminous look of late, I have been purchasing skin volumers, skin fixers, highlighters etc. Anything to make my skin have that healthy glow. 

Lately my skin has changed, it has turned to normal - dry skin. My nose and cheek gets flaky if I don't moisturize them thoroughly. My T-zone don't secret as much oil as it used to,the oil only builds up after 6 hours? Don't know if it has to do with the weather or it is just that my skin is changing because I hit over 20.
This is most expensive drugstore foundation I've ever purchased.
The packaging is really sleek with the rose gold pump. I love rose gold, it is one of the prettiest colour ever. 

I am kinda bumped that there is no testers at the store. I just chose the colour according to my instinct. 

I chose the lightest colour available which is N1 Pure Pearl.

I hope it fits my skin tone. 

Catrice EyeBrow Pencil in the darkest brown colour available.
I am growing out my hair so my roots are currently black, so it is better for me to switch back to a darker eyebrow pencil than using the eyebrow gel.

Just a normal eyebrow pencil for daily use and as a back up for the Etude House, I regretted I didn't bring back ups for the Etude House's.
I don't know if I like it yet, there wasn't any testers for this. 

Eyeliner brush. 

It's a repurchase. Eyeliner brush is essential for a gel eyeliner for me. 

Korean Beauty Haul #2

Oops I did it again. Another Korean beauty haul.
Seriously.

The first item i got is from this shop, Holika Holika.

This is the cream that I wanted for a long time but I am not sure whether I should get it because truthfully, I need do not need anymore base or primers.
I gave in in the end, I bought it.

Holika Holika Miracle Real Skin Finish or also known as Butterfly cream.

Although it is placed under skincare category, it is actually a glow makeup base.
It comes in two option. Oily/Combination skin or Dry skin. The Oily/Combination comes in a purple whereas the Dry comes in a pink pot.
I bought the oily/combination.

This is how the pot looks like.
That's the downside, it comes in a pot so it is gonna be less hygienic. It didn't come with a spatula.

The pot close up. It is really cute.

The cute lid with the butterfly and brand name.

The cream in the pot.
Basically it is a shimmery white cream that corrects skin tone and brightens up the face.

Next is Etude House.
I didn't get much from Etude House this time because I didn't see anything interesting.

I just got something I need, another is a impulse buy.

I got an eyebrow pencil and a cream blush.

The eyebrow pencil is something I need because I do not have any. I never bother filling my eyebrows before but since I did my brows, I think it is time to fill in my brows and make it neater.
So far I am really liking this eyebrow pencil, it is cheap and really easy to use.

The cream blush is an impulse buy because it was on 50% off.
I just thought that an orange peach blush is a fresh colour since I do not own a colour like that.


Next, is all from Nature Republic.
I did a pretty big purchase from Nature Republic.

First part is Skincare.

Farm Fresh Foam Cleanser in Mung Bean.

Two face essence. Pine Tree Urban Detox Essence and Chestnut Pore Tight Essence.
I am using the Pine Tree Urban Detox, so far I like it. These two bottles are back ups.

Ice Jelly Primers.
I am suppose to get one only and it multiplied into three. Gah! Shopaholic First World Problems.
It was on 20% off so it turned out affordable after the discount, I just have to snatch them up!

I got in three flavours - Blueberry, Melon and Cherry.
I love the texture of this primers, it is very unique. It is very jelly-like and after you make a dent into the jelly, it will return to its original shape!
Also, it smells heavenly! They really smell like their flavours.

The melon.
Green is counteract with redness.

The Blueberry.
Lavender to brighten up the skintone!

The Pink!
I don't know what the pink does but I think it brightens too.

Two affordable lip tints. One in Red, the other in Pink.
After 20% off, these lip stains are really cheap. I am very into lip tints because I do not have to worry about reapplying since it stays on and also blame the Kfashion scene!

My take on Essence.

Just a small loot and plus a little review about some Essense product.

Essense lash & brow gel mascara.

For me there's no point in getting an expensive clear mascara. Glad that I found this in the nearby beauty store.

It does tame unruly brows. I havent test its testing power since I just got it awhile ago.

This cost 109 rubles.

Now on to something I would fail.

Essense eyebrow designer in light brown.

It has shimmers. Who would want to have eyebrows with glitters and shimmers.

It didnt have tester so purchased without knowing the quality of it.

It doesn't have good staying power too, it dissapears upon rubbing.

A little swatch. You could see the shimmers.

Since it fails as an eyebrow pencil. I am gonna use it as an eyeliner and see how it works.

It cost 89 rubles.

Also, got a sharpener. Cost 61.50 rubles.

Left mine all the way back at home.

Pink and compact. Isn't it cute?

That's all I got from there. Next I am eying Bourjois.
