Haul & mini-review: MAC, Maybelline, Eye Love It, Heavy Rotation ISEHAN

Hellowwwwww beautybugs!

I am back with A LOTTTTTTT of goodies from Singapore and some shopping in Bangkok. For the past few days (yeah more than a few days I know it), I have been on a holiday. I went to Singapore for a family trip with my family. We have not been travelling together recently, therefore, we decided to go somewhere near Thailand but a relaxing place. During my stay in Singapore, I went over to Sephora and some drugstores. So, there will be a Singapore haul coming soon. At the moment, I will be showing I have got from trip to Siam Paragon today.  

First of all, I went to the drugstore makeup area inside the supermarket (it is right beside the pharmacy shop). I got a few products from there, which are the Maybelline New York Clean Express Miracle Oil-Gel 2 in 1 Oil-Gel Remover & Cleanser (249 Baht), Maybelline Bold Matte by Colorsensational Mat1, Mat 3, Mat 4 and Mat6 (219 Baht), Heavy Rotation Milky Color Lips 02 (390 Baht), and Heavy Rotation Pure Color Gloss 04 (450 Baht). Then, I went to the cosmetics area on the first floor to buy MAC Brush Cleanser for 650 baht and Eye Love It Magic Series (Grey) contact lens for 600 baht. 

Maybelline New York Clean Express Miracle Oil-Gel 2 in 1 Oil-Gel Remover & Cleanser is a new product that caught my attention when I was browsing around. It claims on the packaging that it is the first time they created a product that is and oil in a gel form (yes, I was confused too). Furthermore, I also claims to clean the makeup for sensitive skin too. It will break down the makeup and deeply cleanse the face, even the waterproof cosmetics, thus giving a cleaned face without harming your skin. This is also a 2-in-1 product, thus, you do not need to use any foam cleanser afterwards. I saw many gurus in the Youtube using the MAC Brush Cleanser, that is why I got really curious if the product is worth the hype. So, yes, in the end I had to buy it. Also, I have heard many good reviews about the Eye Love It contact lens, so I chose a color I rarely use, which is grey to try it out. 

The follow picture shows the swatches for the lipsticks and lip gloss I purchased today. The top left nude swatch is for the Heavy Rotation Milky Color Lips 02. I feel like the color payoff is very good, and the color is very pretty nude for a beige/fair skin tone people. But, I would have to say it is not as not smooth (when applying) as the Maybelline Bold Matte by Colorsensational  lipstick. The top right is the  Heavy Rotation Pure Color Gloss 04  swatch. I would have to say that this is product has a very interesting application. It is thick but not too thick, moisturizing but not to overwhelming. In addition, it is ideal for people who want a plumped and glossy/glittery lip. The glitter in the lip gloss is a mixture of pink, purple and silver. I would have to say the Heavy Rotation Pure Color Gloss 04 and Heavy Rotation Milky Color Lips 02 would give a very "Japanese-ish" combo. Last but not least, the bottom row is the Maybelline Bold Matte by Colorsensational, Mat1 Mat 3 Mat 4 Mat 6 from left to right. As you may also know, Mat 3, is a must have color for Pearypie. I wanted to also buy the Mat 7, but I could not find it anywhere at all! I guess it is a must have for Momay Paplern that's why. 

I have not tried the other product, therefore, I can not give a mini-review yet. If there is any products that floats my boat, I will be sure to be updating on another post. 

Toodles!

Haul: Boots, Daiso, Burberry cosmetics, Make Up Forever

Haul and Mini Review: Boots, Daiso, Burberry cosmetics, Make Up Store, Make Up Forever

 

(This was not a one time shopping trip! AND by no means am I trying to boast. I just wanted to share my shopping trips to you guys out there and see what products are available. Not trying to show off, but just want to share.)

 

HELLO! SO! I have been stressed out (one of those phase that you feel lost in life). Hence, I decided to release stress (guys, release stress for girls equals shopping). Now, I am back with no stress, but full of guilt. I try to justify it by thinking 'at least I can do my mom's make up in the future'.

 

 

Daiso hair band

 

The first item I bought was a hair band used when applying, or taking off your makeup. Unlike other hair bands, this one has bows (PINK ONES); plus it is only 60 baht in Daiso. I am not sure if every Daiso has this particular hair band, but the Daiso I went was in The Mall Bang Kapi.



 

 

 

Batiste Dry Shampoo: big and bouncy XXL volume

 

Next item I bought was from Boots in The Mall Bang Kapi, and it is the Batiste dry shampoo big and bouncy XXL volume. This 350 baht dry shampoo with amazing ability to volumize a flat greasy hair to the puffy hairstyle shown in the 'Hairsray musical' contains 200 ml of product.

 

Well, this might be a little of exaggeration, but something like the woman above. Although it might not be this fluffy (I meant the hair), but I would have to say it does a great job in absorbing the oil from your hair and adding some oomph to your hairstyle. You can also create a very easy 'bed head' hairstyle with this. In addition, it has a soothing fragrance to it. If you do not like the XXL effect, then there are other dry shampoos to try out too!

 

All cosmetics

 I picked up five cosmetics from Burberry. The first four are all eyeshadows. For a mini review, I would say they have the most butter-y texture among all the eyeshadows I own. I am not sure what chemical/substance differentiates this butter-y feeling, but I sure do love it. And after wearing it for awhile, the color seems to become more glossy (not oily) on my lids. The four colors I chose were 'Taupe Brown No.7', 'Porcelain White No. 25', 'Midnight Brown No. 21', 'Almond No. 06' (from left to right in order). The packaging, I would have to say it pretty heavy for one eyeshadow, but this woudl fit those of you who like sturdy packaging. I would not say it is the ideal packaging for traveling. Each of the eyeshadow has its own mirror and an eyeshadow applicator. They all contained 2.5 g of product and costs around 1,100 baht (with 7% tax in Thailand).

 

'Taupe Brown No.7'

 

'Porcelain White No. 25'

 

 'Midnight Brown No. 21'

 

 'Almond No. 06'

 

 The fifth product from Burberry was a black pencil liner. It is called the 'Midnight Black No.01'. The special thing about this eye pencil is that it is applies very smoothly. It does not irritate my lower eyelash area, but I would have to say it does smuge a little bit, hence good for people who want a smoky look by smuging out the eyeliner. This eyeliner consists of 1.25 g. The price is around 900 baht. The purpose of buying five of these is to create the 'Fall/Winter' look by Burberry (if any of you would like to see it, you may comment below). For all of those 'Siam Paragon Shopaholics' ( I am not sure of other department stores), you could have a twelve percent discount if you have a Kasikorn Bank Platinum card with the same about of points as you purchasing. For example, if you are purchasing 1,000 baht worth of cosmetics and you have 1,000 points in you Kasikorn Bank card, then you could have an addition twelve percent discount. On top of that, if you have the Siam Paragon Prestige card, you could redeem some gift vouchers. I think for every 800 points, you get 100 baht gift voucher. This would save you a lot of money when buying products like Burberry cosmetics.

 

Midnight Black No.1 Pencil eyeliner (middle one)

 



As you can see from the overview cosmetics picture (above), I did pick up some Make Up Store cosmetics, two lipsticks and three lip liners.  

STORY and Redwood Creme

 

The left lipstick is called 'STORY' and the right one is 'Redwood Creme'. STORY is a red lipstick with golden shimmers in it, while the Redwood Creme is a nudy pink color. They both apply to a matte color, but I feel like the STORY is more moisturizing. 

 

 Russian matt, In The Flashlight, Knitted Pink

 

 To go along with Redwood Creme, I bought a lip liner called 'Knitted Pink'. I perfectly matches the lipstick and makes your lips look fuller although its a nude color. As for STORY, I paired it with 'Russian matt'. This allows me to make crisp lines on my lips to create the perfect shape for my lips in red. The last lip liner is 'In The Flashlight'. For this, I have to admit, I have not reason to buy it. I just like it.

 

 

 

8L, 12L, 4L, 3L and Star Powder 90916

 

The last place I shopped in (for this week) was Make Up Forever in Central Lad Prao. The girl at the shop told me Make Up Forever is going to be discontinued 'in Thailand', therefore, they are going on a 40% sale, except foundation, concealer and primers, which are only 20% discount (better than nothing). I decided to get some 'Aqua Eyes' pencil eyeliners. The colors are 8L, 12L, 4L, 3L (I am not sure if they are called like that or not, but that is the only thing I see). I tested these out before, and their staying power is unbelievable and glides evenly on your eyelid. PERFECTO! Now that it is 40%, EVEN MORE PERFECTO! These colors in my opinion are also fantastic for the coming fall/winter season. Last but not least, I got the pigment in 'Star Powder 90916'. It is a pink/golden color with a holographic effect (it sizzled my eyes).
