Getting the gold.

Nothing feels better than a whole bunch of items waiting for you at home.
Feels like Christmas.

Hora! When I opened the cupboard. My heart literally screamed in joy.
The amount of love packages for me.

I am start off with a mini ELF haul- part 1
Since I am at home now, I have more flexibility in taking photos and working around with the photos.

The first part of the ELF haul, I only got three items.
ELF Studio blushes in Fuchsia Fusion and Giddy Gold, ELF Studio Powder Brush.

The ELF Studio Powder Brush is the best foundation brush I have ever used.
When I do ELF hauls, I always buy one backup of it.

ELF studio blush in Fuchsia Fusion.
From reviews, it is said to be a dupe of NARS' Angelika. I do not own Angelika thus I can't give a comment on this.
This blush is a bright medium rose toned blush with slight blue base with lots of golden shimmers.
Very beautiful .

ELF studio blush in Giddy Gold.
I am not sure how to describe the colour of this blush. It is definitely not gold.
It is more of a orangy golden bronze. A great colour for summer.

back home

I am finally home after a full day journey on plane

I feels so good to be home. Spending time with my family. 

In Hong Kong's duty free shop, I stumbled across a brand I have been loving that is not available in most countries. 

I will post a post dedicate to that buy in the next post or so. 

Also, I would be posting collective haul posts when I sort things out.

For now I will post an EOTD of a few days ago.

Lately I have been more interested in creating a natural look. So all I did is I tightlined my eyes and applied mascara. That's all, no eyeshadow involved

For my lips, I used Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in 038 In Vogue.

All I did is I dabbed the lipstick across my lip and spread it out to create a natural yet pretty pigmented lips. 

The completed look! 

more food!

I bought a lace dress I wanted for a long time from New Look, it finally went on sale, almost half off!

Only the pink colour lace dress was on sale. It comes in blue, white and pink.


Now to the food spam! I have been eating a lot since exams are over.
I am gonna be a pig soon!

Classic Cinnabon and Chocolate Cinnabon.
I was really sweet that it gives me headaches but the aroma of the cinnamon is too good.

There's also a Korean food spam.
I went to eat at a Korean restaurant near my university - Jasmine.

Green Tea with Lemon.
It smells heavenly but the green tea taste is very faint. It taste like normal black tea with lemon.

Korean fried rice cake.
My favourite Korean dish.
The sauce was great but the rice cake seems undercooked. It was pretty hard.

Spicy sauce fried chicken.

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. 

cruise in my heart

On Saturday I had a fun time celebrating my friends' birthday. We did lots of activities from eating out to bowling, playing pool and the coolest thing we went on a cruise in Moscow River.

Our cruise.

Moscow River.

The wind was really strong on the cruise.
It was really cold and I am glad I had a spare long skirt to change because the wind is blowing my skirt away!

A EOTD post.

It is the first time using Yves Rocher's Iridescent veil as an eye base.

It is very glittery and it stays on for quite some time, about 6 hours or so.

Instead of drawing the eyeliner outside, I tightlined the eyeliner. 

Looks more natural. 

I am using Fennel Lip Pencil in Rosa.

I really love this colour. It is so gorgeous and it is really long lasting! 

Finally, a FOTD.

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.
