Europe Beauty Haul!

I went to London and Paris last week for a family vacation and it was the perfect opportunity to check out some products raved by the British beauty gurus on Youtube: Lisa Eldridge, Pixiwoo sisters, Tanya Burr, and Fleur DeForce. So I went to their Superdrug and Boots just to see what they got. and I also tried the No.7 skin shade matcher designed by Lisa Eldridge. and of course I went to a French pharmacie to check out their skincare products.


There was one thing that I targeted when I knew I was going to Paris: Bioderma. I was super excited when I saw it on the pharmacy's shelf! Also, I grabbed a La Roche Posay sunscreen. I know it is sold worldwide but I just felt like getting it. But the pharmacy consultant was a **&%$#^ and was not helpful at alllll! I asked what was the difference between melt-in cream and the dry touch version of the sunscreen and she said they're the same! just the phrasing. so I got the melt-in cream. and hampeh kuang hasam when I got back I read the FAQ sheet inside the box and it said that the melt-in cream was for normal to dry skin. so, screw you unhelpful French pharmacy lady. and have I mentioned that I hated Paris?

Okay back to the post, here are the rest of the beauty items that I purchased.

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua ( €31.50)


Shade BR 52 the darkest shade available at the airport store. I love the scent. Lightweight but buildable. Everything that the makeup people raved on. The price there is equivalent to $40 ish while it sells for $45 in the US (not including tax). Cheap!

Chanel Coco Rouge in 25 Vendome (€24)
 


Tom Ford Blush in 03 Flush


The sad thing is I wanted to buy a Tom Ford lipstick in Indian Rose too but it was sold out at Harrod's. and I can'r find it elsewhere :(

Bourjois Blush in 33 Lilas d'Or - Golden Lily



 Rimmel Appocalips in Celestial



Here are all the swatches from left to right: Vitalumiere Aqua, Rouge Coco, Tom Ford, Bourjois, and Rimmel.

End of Semester Haul

Alang2 ada Sephora annual VIB sale, I bought some (well quite a number) of items. lepas gian nama dia.

Beauty Blender


Lorac Pro Palette



Nars Deep Throat


Tarte Spirited



Versace Bright Crystal

MAC Lingering eyebrow pencil


Minkoff mini MAC



April Favorites

I rarely have a monthly fav since jarang pon try new stuff. but this month, there were some stuff that I feel like writing about. here goes:

Favorite Mascara



This mascara seriously makes your lashes look amazing. tak tipu punya

Favorite New Findings



Chanel Hydra Beauty Lotion

I got a sample of this from last year when I purchased the eye cream. skarang baru nak try. and I love it! it's moisturizing but tak buat skin oily. the lotion really absorbed into my skin and hydrates it.

Favorite Album



Tame Impala - Lonerism

After receiving a Crosley record player from my awesome gurlfriends, I did some research and apparently album ni ramai org suka. so I gave it a try. and it was addictive. genre: psychedelic rock. sila google utk tau what psychedelic rock is. once you know what it means and dah dgr album ni, mmg gerenti convinced yg lagu2 dia kena sgt ngan genre hahah
