MUA Cosmetics Fools Quest (Mini) Haul

By icyabstract · April 8, 2010 · 21 Comments ·

I decided to input the term mini in the title because I am presuming majority of the onsugarettes have hauled two or three folds what I have.

For those who weren't in the know, MUA Cosmetics (a local makeup brand that is being sold online) had an amazing promotion going on over the period of 1st and 2nd April. The promotion was titled Fools Quest, in conjunction with April Fools Day. What happened was a couple products were going for $1 a piece! Yes, quality eyeshadows, blushes and all that jazz for just S$1! That's just insane, prices like that don't exist anymore.

One of the 'sad' things about this promotion was that it was an hourly special event, and the hours were random between the two dates. I wasn't home for most of the sessions, but I managed to grab some things up at the 1pm timeslot on 2nd April.

Can I just take this time to mention how amazingly packaged this was! Even for a sale event where I only had a couple items, wow this is just sleek~
I initially picked up 5 items, but sadly 2 of them happened to be out of stock

Aww~
Being obsessed about brushes, I was actually really looking forward to the Blender Brush but oh well.
Here are the items I managed to get, and remember they were all for S$1 a piece, a mad steal I tell you!


Abyss Dimensional Eyeshadow (pan form) - No. 827


Luminized Dimensional Eyeshadow - No. 810


Rosebud Mineral Matte Blush (pan form)

Here are some swatches.

It might seem like Luminized doesn't show up much, but it is a shade that is the same color as my skintone (more or less). I have mentioned before, I love colors that are my skintone but yet have a gorgeous sheen or shimmer to it, and this is surely one of them. The shimmer is gorgeous. All the products were nicely pigmented, these swatches were just one swipe!

So those are the lovely goodies I picked up. I am assuming it is a sign from somewhere that prevented me from hauling a truckload in this promotion.
Incase anyone is wondering I stored the pan form eyeshadows in this palette:

This is the 12pc magnetic palette from Magical Tannsu (find it here). I had also featured this palette in my Silky Girl depotting adventure.
I just removed the pans, ripped the dividers out and there you go. The pans magnetize to the palette well so there's really nothing extra you have to do.

Complete side-note, but I had also made full use of that MUA Cosmetics box the items came in. It's now home to a couple of my palettes.

Thanks for reading and I can't wait to see what all the other onsugarettes have hauled!

icefrost: That's true, so sweet of them to package it all well even for a small haul. Can't wait till you get yours!

lillgoddess: Yes, my thoughts exactly! Very thought of them. I don't think I opted for registered mail but it came as registered because they refunded us the OOS items.

everbluec: I'm already all excited to see what you got, I'll bet it's huuuuge! Laughing out loud

wow. I have to agree, really sleek and awesome packaging, even for just 3 lil items. And the box can be of good use too! I cant wait for mine to arrive, but weird thing is that i haven't got any updates about it yet.
I participated in the last quest, prob will take longer while they sort out the earlier ones Smiling

gwenned: Makes me want order again just for another box to put some other stuff in, haha. Ooh check your email? Maybe your spam folder. I know it went into my spam folder so that was pretty weird.

Sara: ah yes. I checked my order status on myredhouse, and it was mailed out 2 days back Smiling
But the total amount was less than wad i ordered, so there's OOS items too. btw, i can't locate the spam folder for Gmail. do you happen to be using gmail too?

gwenned: I have My Red House linked to my main email, my hotmail account so there's a 'Junk' folder. But yes I do use Gmail, and the spam folder is found under the 'more' section with a tiny little arrow beside it. Click and it'll have a drop down menu with Spam. (:
