I stumbled on this post by Em from Too Much Blush last week. Since it consist of 4 brushes and I only had the 187, I thought it was really a good bargain! I’ve been wanting to get the 168 for quite a bit now but I was hesitant as I do own a 169.

So I thought what the heck, it was a good bargain even after the exchange rate and stuff.. I might as well just splurge on it and not keep drooling after the 168 each time I hit MAC counters. So on top of it, I dropped in two eyeshadows in order to get free shipping.

So the Perfect Style promo/collection (whichever you want to call it) comes with 4 brushes.. A 187 (fibre optic), 168 (angled blush brush), 263 (angled brush for brows and liner) and a 222 (blending brush).

On top of it.. It comes with a gorgeous black case with a nice minty green lining inside.. With 4 different slots for the brushes.. And on the opposite side a zippered pouch.

p.s. I can’t believe I’m blogging while waiting for my interviews. Geez! I’m really nervous. Sigh.

EDIT: Okay.. After I finished typing this post, the interview call came.. I was stammering like crazy. *Fingers cross* Hopefully I get this. =/

When Coastal Scents had its Memorial Day sale, I grabbed the rest of the lip smacks that I wanted..

And being the brush ‘ho I am, I couldn’t resist checking out without getting a brush. So with Inan’s review on the CS brushes she bought for her sister, I gotten myself an Italian Badger crease brush.

I still do like the lip smacks.. I use it for my casual looks.. Just a single eyeshadow colour, eyeliner, blush and the lip smacks.. =D Here’s an example of it.. 

p.s. Sorry about my bed hair.. LOL~ my hair seems to curl up now with all the weight gone. =P

I was really lucky to be able to snag a Hello Kitty handmade brush rolls here from Yumeko/bittenbefore. Initially someone put it on hold but didn’t want it at the end.. So lucky me.. I scored!

Before I show you the actual thing, (boo! spoiler!) let me show you the packing tape Yumeko used.. It has bears on it! I took a photo to show my DD. She loves bears.

I’m really happy simply because its Hello Kitty and its red! I’ve been trying to “recollect” everything red. So this fits nicely into my collection. And I am finally able to ditch my bulky brush roll you see here.. It’s simply NOT practical to carry around such a bulky brush roll while travelling.

(Sorry, I could almost mentally hear you girls shouting “show it already!” Hahaha!)

Okay.. Here goes.. Yumeko kindly included some sweet which I absolutely loved! Hahaha. All gone within the hour.. And also an eyeshadow palette.

Now I shall shut up and show you more photos.. Hahaha!

Oops.. I just ran out of photos.. =X *looks sheepish* Well.. Too bad I get to admire it all I want right? =D

Some offline hauls.. From The Body Shop, a hair brush and a face towel. From some random small bag shop around the corner.. This wonderful soft brown leather bag!

And also this teeny MAC haul which allowed me another chance to the A Rose Romance collection.. =P

Some recent mail packages.. My first Silk Naturals haul of the month which has my Bloom, Precious and Maiden l/g.

My second ylbb package arrived too.. More of Fur‘s balms and solid perfumes. (Hint: Giveaway in review!)

My Eucerin sunblock from Chiaberry! Thank goodness I’m wearing sunblock again..  

Fr0nd/Jo sold me her TSS Capricon eyeshadows.. She included a small sheet of stickers for my DD which I am still hogging it! Woo hoo! Hahaha..

So that’s it.. I think I’ve finally caught up with posting my hauls. =X I need to catch some shut eye.. Tata!

I decided I had enough of trying out of TSS e/s.. And stuck to what I call the Mummy look created with my Majolica Majorca BR751 palette.

Anyways.. I’m not here to talk about my look.. I finally received my package from geminisc! Woo hoo.. I opened it and got a nice sniff of her goodies!

Look at the tiny hearts that came with my order!

Some really gorgeous blushes included! She knew I was such a MMU addict that she included them in to prevent me from missing my stash!

These are the bath fizzy. They smell awesome! I feel like taking a bath with them RIGHT NOW! Too bad I don’t have a tub.. So I’m stuck to a bucket and my feet gets a relaxing treat!

Here’s what I actually ordered! Heez.. I’ll review on it in a week or two!

I took advantage of the Coastal Scents 20% sitewide discount and hauled meself a "few" want items like the brush guards, lip smacks and some liner brushes.

To be honest, it will be another long time before I haul from CS again. The shipping nearly killed me.. There's no way I could haul the palettes, not when the shipping is roughly USD$10++ just for the palette. So I decided to stuck with the smaller items.. Even so, shipping was really high!

So here’s some photos of my haul.. I’m pretty excited with the lip smacks and can’t wait to try them out!

My Sissie has finally "popped"! She gave birth to a healthy 2.8kg baby girl yesterday. We hope that our two babies would be good friends and that they would grow up together like sisters

So in celebration of the arrival of my goddaughter, I’ll show you more of my hauls and a FoTD! KAKAKAKA~ There’s honestly nothing much to do in Adelaide. My mum and I have been shopping like crazy and cooking up a storm. =P

First up.. THE MAC Haul!
  
In the photo, select sheer pressed powder, studio sculpt concealer and foundation in NC20. Slimshine in Long Stem Rose, lustre lipsticks in Plink! and Way to Love, see thru lip colour in Loving Touch and lipglass in Virgin Kiss. Beauty powder in Blush of Youth and sheertone shimmer blush in Trace Gold

Sadly MMU isn't working well at all for me. I developed some sort of allergy with my EDM PP foundation. No joke! And my skin looked really dull. So my mum and I hopped over to the MAC counter and checked out the new studio sculpt foundation. We both definitely like the next to nothing texture but with medium coverage!

Remember in my previous post, I hauled the Invisible Zinc sunblock but it was in the wrong shade? So I went back to get it exchanged for two ecotools powder brushes (which I gave one to my mum)! And while out grocery shopping, I spotted this smaller tube of the sunblock. Good way to sample it! Anyone wants a CP? XD 

Last but not least, my FOTD.. I’m experiencing a lot of redness now due to the AHA cream cleanser I’m using. I might go out later and hunt for another makeup remover. Eeps..~

HI GIRLS! I've finally reached Adelaide.. It's really cold (for me) and it's a vast difference from sunny hot and humid Singapore.

I’ve received some hauls (including MAC’s A Rose collection which isn’t included here) and some stuff I bought here.. Let’s get cracking with photos..

Skinny jeans from jeanswest.. It was 2 for $99!

Out of desperation, I bought Softlips lip balm for some lip rescue

Invisible Zinc tinted brush on sunblock.. But in the wrong shade! Urgh!

And finally my ylbb package from Jen!

Guess what arrived in the morning mail! Maybe it was Saturday.. I think my hubs didn’t check the mail box. *Le Sigh*

Wooo hoo! The Lumiere prebuy brushes has arrived. Thank the lucky stars! Coz I was worried that I’ve to trouble my very very pregnant Sissie to send the brushes out if they arrive after I leave for Adelaide.

All the brushes jumbled up.. We were lucky that all of them manage to fit into the priority envelope.. There was a girl who had to top up shipping (which was way more) because her order was too big!

All sorted out into their zippie bags.. OCD? Very Monk eh? Hahaha. Anyways.. The little name tags.. Let me show you girls a few up close shots of them! =D

That's all girls! LOL~ I only bought two Angled FO brushes.. Sheesh.. Alto the smudger looks awfully cute! Slightly different from the old one.. =)
