NYX jumbo eye pencil review and swatches

I love the NYX jumbo eye pencil very much. They are really creamy and easy to blend. The pencil design packaging make application easy. However I do have problem capping them. My cap always end up crushing into my pencil tip when i'm not too careful.

I used to get them from cherry culture but now I realize that there are pull carts selling them. As I have previously posted, I bought another 2 recently from nus bazzar @$6. Definitely a bit more ex than cherry culture. I have a total of 15 of them.

Dior Show New Look collection haul and swatches

As u all know, Dior's New Look collection consist of Diorshow New Look mascara and four Cinq Couleurs New Look palettes. I have gotten the mascara online and my sis is waiting excitedly for the ES. We were told that it should be in Singapore in Feb. The four palettes are: Royal Kaki, Rose Porcelaine, Grège and Bleu de Paris

However, I was at Taka yesterday ... I  saw them!!! I was not really excited about them till I saw them and swatched them. Omg... So pretty....

 Top row: Grège
2nd row:   Royal Kaki
3rd row:  Bleu de Paris

Top row: Grège
2nd row:   Royal Kaki

Rose Porcelaine

I bought Rose Porcelaine and  Bleu de Paris @ $92 each, got a mini Royal Kaki sample. I'm really tempted to get Grège as well :p. I find this collection very pigmented and the colours are more wearable than the spring collection. I think Grege is the most wearable among the four.


Rose Porcelaine

Bleu de Paris

mini Royal Kaki ( i worn this today, not bad but not something i will go crazy over so  i most prob won't be getting the full size)

Just to compare the size of the sample and full size palette

The mascara set are not from the new look collection. It's the Dior show Extase, the set cost $52 and come with a mini ES from their regular range

The rest of January: Collective haul

I bought some things from the spring collection from Dior and Chanel, 2 sliky girl lipsticks, olay moisturizer (my 3rd bottle, its really good n cheap).

Some Mac from a seller, brand new but really old, mainly from the 2008 collections

Chanel Rouge Coco shine lipsticks (review n swatches)

Its being a while since i got anything from Chanel.
Metro had 20% storewide last week and I took the opportunity to buy some things from Chanel.
I bought 1 blusher and 2 lip sticks from the Chanel's latest lipstick collection: Rouge Coco Shine @ $44 each. The whole collection consist 25 colours of which only 20 will be available in Singapore (read from Her World).

More details from her world:

Chanel’s Rouge Coco lipstick was launched in 2010 as part of the brand’s attempt to convince young women to wear lipstick again, rather than lipgloss, and was the brainchild of makeup guru Peter Philips, who was named creative director of Chanel Makeup in 2008
Now the brand has released a new “shimmer” version – nothing so gauche as a gloss – the Rouge Coco Shine. It’s a semi-sheer lipstick containing Hydratender complex for reportedly up to eight hours of hydration and comes in 25 shades – although only 20 of those will be available in Singapore



I bought Boy (54) and Liberte (46). I find the current Rouge Coco collection to be slightly moisturizing only; the lipsticks also have nice shimmer. It has a light vanilla-rose scent that’s rather faint but still detectable when you are applying and fade off quite fast.

I'm slightly disappointed with its moisturizing power, it will be good if its more moisturizing. The pigmentation of the lipstick is also toward the sheer side but the shimmer was really pretty. The lipstick is quite small, very portable.
The only bugging problem i have with the lipstick is the mechanism, which the lipstick was raised out of the casing. Instead of turning the base (like normal lipstick) to get the product out, for this collection, we got to turn the tube part to get the product out. Which mean our hand is placed very near to the product and we could accidentally touch the product while turning, not very hygiene lei….

According to my SA, Boy is the most popular colour, I think its true as they do not have stock for it when I was there. I have no choice but to pay first and go back again when the stock is in.
My kind Sa also give me a sample palette which include the following 4 colours from the collection:

62 monte-carlo, 54 boy, 46 liberte and 57 aventure
