Stage Haul

I was at stage over the weekend, i haven't being out for a while and only found out that there is only 1 stage store now in singapore. They r having many promo at the momnet too.. I hope they r not pulling out of singapore. I really like their black eyeliner and was hopping that i can stock up when they have promo for that. These are the promo avaliable when i was there:

$9 for all lip products
50% of all eye shaow (single and 8 color pallets), liquid foundation and eye liners that are non black















I bought a lip liner @$9 and a brown ES @$10.

I also bought 2 ES pallets, the SA has accidentally gave me 2 identical ones, need to go back n get it change...

Weekend Haul

I went Bugis to collect my Shu Uemura ES single. Its being out of stock for like 3 weeks and when i was there the SA told me its  out of stock at the warehouse as well so i bought another es instead.

Since i was there, i decided to pick up a brush (20H) and a makeup base as well. I like the makeup base as its foam type and its can be used on the eye and face. i know i'm just plain lazy. Haha.. I got 2 bottles of makeup removal as GWP, i think Shu has one of the best makeup removal i ever used.


In additional to my haul, i also asked the SA to help me test out my painter brush. Yes, i bought a few painter bruches to be used as makeup brush ;)

i bought $70 worth of painter brush plus 3 brush holders last week.. LOL.. they look and feel just like the expensice makeup brushs i bought before...


This is the one that i bought to ask the SA to try out. She used it to apply ES for me. We both feel it work fine as an eye shadow brush.
In fact i used it again today and i think its work as well as any ES brushes i have ever bought.
i'm comparing to those good ones, not those cheap one u get from SASA.

CP from Korea...

Its was a last minute thingy, happen like within an hour n my friend helped me to CP from korea.
She wanted to try skinfood out so i tag along and these are what i bought.

Omija Whitening Mask Sheet 
Fresh Juice Essence Mask Sheet
Avocado mask

Crazy over ampoules (Part 2)- PRO-Q

i bought PRO-Q at $10 per box and each box contain 10pc of ampoules (3ml)

I was aware that is a different between make in France and formulate in France, the most obvious different is of course the price. PRO-Q is formulated in france and made in malaysia.

I bought quite a variety one shot


Purifying, fresh cell, trace elements, collagen, vit C, eye pouch, DNA and azulen


I ordered another batch few days ago and it included those that i feel its good and some new carity that was out of stock in my previous purchase.


I have tried Trace elements, collagen and Vit C.


Trace Element
  • For dry, dehydrated and tired skin.
  • Suitable to use before make up.
  • Revitalizes tired skin and moisturizing treatment for dry & dehydrated skin 
Collagen :  

  • For dehydrated, dull skin, ageing skin
  •  Anti-ageing, moisturizing, firming
Vitamin C Ampoule

  • All skin type
  • Prevent premature aging caused by UV exposure
  • Brightening, reduce pimples/acne spot and tightens pores
 
 Among the three i have tried, i like collagen the most.


I used trace element and collagen on my face. After using a whole tube of  trace element, my skin feel hydrate. Feel like i have done paper mask. 

As for collagen, i get had the  same effect with only 2/3 tube. I apply the rest on my super dehydrated leg. The next day the dried skin on my leg improved tremendously, the effect is way much better than applying body lotion.


In addition, i did not apply moisturizer after the ampuoles and my skin is not dried nor does it secret alot of oily the next morning. My face will be very oily the next morning if i never apply enough skin care the night before.


As for vit C, i applied it on my legs, one wholel tube on my leg.. LOL.. The effect is good, my leg is  hydrated n smooth after that.. 

LOL.. I need to use more vit c than collagen to have the same effect, but i guess its not fair to compare this way as the 2 ampoules have different function.

I'm stocking up more collagen now.. LOL..

Review: Sheer Secret.



I have used Sheer secret for few weeks and i guess it time to share how i feel about the products.
I have used the secret water, the serum and the day and night cream.
The secret water is suppose to be a toner cum nutrient water (kanebo has a similar products that i bought last year) but i think its too ex to be use as a tone so i only pad it on my face after my tonner.

Secret water

Secret water come in spray container, which is a much better packaging than the kanbo version.
Secret water is suspose to be more than just a tonner.
The sa told me to do these: 1st use as a toner, wet a cotten pad with secret water and pad it onto my face then spray some onto my palm and pad it into my face including eye areas. Follow by the serum

I feel that its a waste to use secert water as a toner plus i doubt it can clean my skin well if i only pad it. So i used my regular toner and only pad secret water with my hand onto my face after toner.

I'm not sure how good this is, as to me its just like water.. lol.. But i used it with the serum and i see improvement in my skin, my skin is less dehydrated now.

Will consider getting a big bottle after i finish my current ones.. LOL..

Serum

The serum comes in a drop bottle retail in 10ml and 30ml
The serum look like some yellow oil but its actually not oily at all.
I used it once in the morning and once in the evening after secret water.

Well definitely getting more of this.. lol..

Night cream

The only things i don't like so far is the night cream, its really thick n oily.. LOL..
i really don't like the texture.


Day cream

The day cream has SPF 30 and its nto as thick as the night cream.
I find it ok, but i still prefer lanecome day cream with SPF. lanecome one is much lighter in texture but its spf is only 15 i think.
