Collective: Mini Haul and Swap Items!

By icyabstract · October 8, 2009 · 5 Comments ·

Here is a slightly belated collective entry.
I had received the packages just before my trip to Hong Kong but because I was too busy with wrapping up my schoolwork and packing for the trip, I didn't have time to take photos and update it on here.

Regardless I have a bit time of hand these days so I finally got it done.
Lets start out with the mini-haul first.

So it seems that I have been fairly obsessed with purchasing 'second-hand' makeup. Though there must be a seperate term for it. 'Second-hand' just doesn't sound right...
Anyway, so here is the 'second-hand' makeup item that I got.


MAC Fluidline in Macroviolet

It took me awhile to actually purchase it because this is a cream product so I wasn't really sure. I mean, powder product wise it's not a big deal to purchase second-hand, but for cream products it's a little scary in the hygiene department.
So I did check with the seller regarding how she used the product and in the end I just thought whatever, and got it.
Plus, it was a pretty good deal for however much product is in it and the color is gorgeous!
One thing that I would never buy second-hand would be lipglosses. Unless it's the case of a brand new second-hand, you get my drift?

The seller was also kind enough to throw in some freebies.


I haven't tried them all yet, but believe it or, the Buff'd blush in Fruity is an amazing color! It's got a stunning pink irridescent to it.

 

Moving on, I had also done a swap with Weiduo (owner of Magical Tannsu).
I do feel bad because I didn't send as much, as I sent the package over first.
She was such a doll to send me this many lovely items! So thank you, I do love them all! (:

First up, the brushes!


Top: Smashbox brush, not sure about the one at the bottom but it looks similar to the MAC 214.


Italian Badger flat top brush (don't know the exact names, I just totally made this up, haha).
I have been lemming for a brush like this and boy am I excited to finally own one!

The other makeup items I had received are:


ELF Liquid Lipstick in Cherry Tart


Left: Loose pink eyeshadow, no brand of
Right: Everyday Minerals loose shadow in Golden Medal


ELF Candyshop Lipgloss in Cherry Bomb.
The second one to my ELF tin gloss collection. Can I just mention how incredible these smell. It makes me want to just eat it! haha


NYX Jumbo Pencil in Lemon
My very first NYX Jumbo pencil! Yes, believe it or not.


Revlon Powder blush in Pink Blush


L'oreal Wear Infinite in Brazilian Bronze Duo.
I absolutely love this! I've tried it out a couple of times with different looks and that bronze-rustic shade there is definitely a favorite.

That is it! Since fall is supposedly all about dark and intense lips, lets see if I can break away from nude lips and slap on these gorgeous red lip treats.

 

On a side-note,
I'm almost done with sorting out the Hong Kong trip stuff, and I'm pretty sure I should be able to get up some updates tonight or at least tomorrow.
Definitely making progress with it! I know it's taking a while, but you guys will see why.

Thank you very much for reading!

tiarabangs: It does indeed! Tried it out once, super pretty. Might just get into MAC's Fluidlines because of this.

Makeupgeeek: Not really gave, cause we swapped. (: I gave her some stuff and she gave me some (a lot more!) back.

I am like obsessed with the MAC fluidline. this color is soo pretty. I actually love cream eyeliners and i find them so much easier to apply, don't ask em why i am just backwards like that lol. I am loving the "italian badger brush" (hey if it feel elegant why not give it an elegant name?) it looks very soft and fluffy.

Fiend: That's true. I think cream liners look nicer and neater on, but I tend to use pencil when I am in a hurry or can't be bothered to clean the brush. Lol! Yeap it is very soft and fluffy indeed!
