Before I start, I want to say this is a super old collective haul (as you would be able to tell from the items). I just haven't posted it up because I keep procrastinating on resizing and watermarking the photos. Why I even procrastinate something as simple as this? I have no idea...

But that's not the point, the stuff I got here are straight off the MAC counter (finally!).

The first purchase was back with the Dsquared, Style Black collections era.

From Dsquared I picked up the Lip Erase in Dim. This isn't quite a limited edition product, but it is a PRO product.

I never planned to get this while browsing the Dsquared collection online since most MAC Lip Erase reviews are kind of neutral. I have no idea why I eventually got it. Maybe it's just this subconscious magnetism to nude lips that I have...
Though I would say in terms of products to conceal lips and all, I still prefer my Canmake one over this.

Since we're talking about lip stuff, the next item I got is from the MAC Style Black collection:

MAC Glimmer Glass in Bling Black - the one with gold shimmer

Another "I have no idea why I got it, but I did" product. I guess it's just too unique and different to pass up. I got this over the other two shades because (I think?) this was the one that MakeupByTiffanyD said it was sort of the prettiest and most obvious on.T

This next item I had actually plan to get because first of all, it's a blush and second of all, it's a mineralized blush. Does that not scream "must get"? (:

Mineralized blush in Conjure Up - from the Magic, Mirth & MIschief Collection.

This blush actually have some mauvey tones to it though it isn't showing up very much in the photo. It seems to compare slightly to the solid size of Grand Duo, a previously released MAC Mineralized blush from the Grand Duos collection.

So this next haul some of you are familiar with because it was done during the Blogger Meet Up around christmas last year.

It's the MAC 223 brush, which is not from the permanent line.

It's kind of a funny story, but long story short, Sophia (retail_therapy) spotted this brush and we were talking about how we've never seen it before and how it was like the MAC 222 but brown. So we returned the brush to the glass jar, and I just couldn't stop thinking about it. Next thing you know, I had it in hand and was paying for it. ~sigh, my weakness with brushes.

Oh and I did a quick google search on this brush since when I asked, the MA said it was being re-promoted in a recent collection, but I have no idea which collection it is! Last I checked it was promoted in a 2007 collection called Raquel Welch? Someone enlighten me.

Comparing this to the MAC 222, I would say this isn't as stiff. So while the 222 is a good crease color brush, the 223 would be a good blending brush. The 223 is also reported to be great for applying concealer with, especially since it has synthetic bristles, though I haven't tried.

And that is my belated haul! I anticipate very few constructive entries coming up soon due to the school workload so bear with me for a bit (:
Thank you for reading!

Nothing very new in this entry, just a little feature on Bellasugar. (:

Apparently I don't browse the other sugar sites often enough because I just found out about this and the feature was last week I think.
Truthfully the only thing I know how to work is my onsugar site and changing my profile on the general sugar site. I think I need to explore this community a lot more.

But anyway, here's the feature. Click here to read it, though it's pretty much the same content as my blog entry.

Thanks for the feature, and thank you for reading!

If you have ace memory, you would realize that I don't have a past LOTD
that was titled Purple-Hued Navy.
So why is this a past LOTD? Well it's because I renamed it to best suit the tutorial outcome.

The LOTD entry is titled Royal Blues, but I figured that the end result does not resemble a Royal Blue so much, hence the decision to name it something more appropriate. I had also taken better photos since in the LOTD entry I took photos using my Mac's Photobooth.

Thanks for reading (:

This is the last entry that is related to the Elizabeth Arden White Glove Extreme Event. I say it is related is as for the most part, this haul was 'made possible' because of that event, though content-wise it has nothing to do with the event.

During the EA event, Chantana (everbluec) had handed me my little haul item from Coastal Scents.
Sometime in mid-January or so Chantana messaged me asking me if I wanted to get anything from Coastal Scents since she was picking up some brush guards. It was real nice of her to ask me and of course I jumped at the chance to get my hands on this item that Diana had reviewed awhile back.

The Jumbo Chisel Powder brush, or aka the Coastal Scents Paddle Brush.
I bought this purely on a rave and because I love brushes. I am pretty aware I don't need another giant face brush but what the heck (:

After the workshop event, Chantana, Roseanne and I headed over to Etude House (as mentioned in my earlier entry) and browsed around the store. It was my first time there and well the walls aren't actually that pink on the inside. Overall I would say it's not as intimidating as I had imagined. Their overly-enthusiastic promotional staff at the door apparently does not translate to the staff inside, which I am extremely thankful for.

I took this opportunity to finally grab this product that had been stuck in my mind eversince Kas (cocomotion) had mentioned it at Blogger party. Yes, another honorable mention for you!

The item I purchased was the Happy Tea Time Milk Tea Cleansing Foam in Milk Tea. The Mask Sheet you see right there is a freebie they hand out the minute you step into the store.

Kas said this smells like baby powder (in a good way) and I agree! I don't sense MIlk Tea in it but I don't mind at all, I love powdery scents. I think it's decently priced too, at 7.90SGD for 150ml.
Though once I got home I realized that I probably wouldn't be using this just yet, not for the next month since I am trying the EA White Glove routine out. I kept the foil on and would patiently await the day I get to open this!

So as if the day wasn't eventful enough, I came home to find this package:

A little something I bought from Fatin (eyelashwishh).
Again it was a bit of a long story how I ended up buying from her.

She was super nice to have thrown in some samples in the pack:

The main item I had purchased from her is a liquid foundation that is also from Etude House.

It's their Baby Skin Foundation and I got it in Shade 02.
Now buying foundation online has definitely got to be the scariest thing ever since you're kind of going out on a limb with it. Though with this there was only 01 and 02 available (yeap, Fatin was selling both shades) and I'm pretty positive 01 would be much too fair for me. And I was right, 02 matched my skintone perfectly from the little sample swatch I did (on my jaw).

I haven't tried this out just yet, but I am going to tomorrow.
Oh and ps, this smells like baby powder too. *loves!

So I suppose this is it, quite a rambly entry for only three items but my obsession
with Etude House is becoming quite evident.
I am eyeing this bronzer Chantana had swatched back at the Etude House store,
though it comes off a bit orange... it's quite pretty. Hmm.

I should end my inner monologue... thank you for reading!

Just a quick LOTD entry on the look I had worn to the Elizabeth Arden White Glove Extreme Pre-Sampling Event, which you can read about here. Wow, now that is a mouthful. That linked entry also features a little of my outfit so I shan't post my outfit on here since it would be posting the same picture up again.

So eversince I had gotten the MAC Teal pigment, I haven't had a chance to use it as I am reverting back to my neutral kick, but it's a super pigmented, bright and pretty shade. Not sure if I would wear it the same way again as though it is nice, it's a little default. I'll probably try pairing it with some other color the next time I use it.

I've (finally) started using the Majolica Majorca mascaras starting with the Lash Enamel one (the one that promises volume) and I love it! I wouldn't think that with the comb-styled wand it would actually be able to provide decent volume and that it might just seperate my lashes too well and make them look sparse. Though apparently it doesn't do that.

In this look I wore it with the primer for an added effect, but I think without the primer it's a good everyday mascara.

Oh oh! And I am wearing that new Make Up Store lipstick. I really love how the color looks on, a nude with a hint of peach. I am pretty certain this is easily going to be a favorite of mine.

I have one more entry going up that is slightly related to the happenings on the EA event day, it's a mini haul entry (: I should have posted all three entries up in one day but I didn't have the time for it (and have been slacking off resizine the photos) so I am spreading them out a little.

And that should be it, thank you all for reading!
