Haul: Skincare and Foundations Haul

honeyxkaori — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 01:48:44 SGT

Hey girls!

So debx was having a sale and I managed to pick up a few items!

I have yet to try out all of them, and the "reviews" are more of like, initial thoughts and such.

1.) Moist Up Foundation in Shade 2

I don't like the packaging, but the motif is oh-so-cute! It would be a hassle to use this due to the packaging, but I am going to get one of those pump/squeeze bottles and put this in, so it would be easier to use. It blends out pretty well, but I am still waiting to get those bottles before I put this foundation to the test.

2.) Pore Putty MakeUp Base in Clear

It has a opaque gel like texture, and it feels the same as a sample of the Monistat Chafing Gel I once got. It feels really lightweight and I like it for now.

3.) ameidca Medicated Acne Clear Base

It is quite yellow, and when I tried it out the other day, it made me really pale. Maybe I need to use a lighter hand with it...

4.) MUFE HD Primer

First thing I noticed was that the nozzle is rather stiff, which makes it hard to press down, which explains that huge blob. On the other hand, there is a light fragrance that I really like. A little bit can go a long way, and I hope this helps out with the redness in my cheeks!

5.) Super+ BB Cream

My gripe with this is that the packaging makes it hard to port around, so even if I love this, I wouldn't be able to bring it out of the house with me if I am staying over at chalets and sleepovers. The other thing is that, like the MUFE Primer, the nozzle is rather stiff, and it made a mess as well.

6.) The Oriental BB Cream

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS THING.

Though it has a rather weird design, with you having to press down on the head for the cream to come out of the middle, it is actually rather fun. And I used it for a shoot the other day, I loved the results. It really evens out my skintone and it seemed rather long lasting (under air-con). The other thing is that it comes with a mirror and cream blush attached.

And although it isn't a color I reach for often, I do think that it is quite a nifty thing to port around.

7.) KOSE Seikisho Clear Lotion

I have yet to really try his out (trying to finish up my other toner from Daiso), but it seems rather fine and dainty. So we shall see.

P.S Some old schoolmates found out about this blog, so they have been rather pissy about it, that explains about the lack of post. It's hard to want to post anything when you know that people are going to be talking bad about it, and you, even after you have put in so much effort. For the past year, I have dealt with it, but it is getting tiring. So yes. I don't know how this will go, but I promise that I will at least clear up all my backlogs if I decide to leave this beautiful community. \=^-^=/

Haul: STAGE Haul

honeyxkaori — Sat, 07 May 2011 22:30:02 SGT

Hey everyone!~

So I went to STAGE last night, knowing that they are closing down soon, and they have a sale, wanting to get some backup, but instead, I had a small haul lol.

I got 2 Picture Perfect Liquid Camouflage, 2 Cream Camouflage, and 2 Single Eyeshadow.

1.) Picture Perfect Liquid Camouflage in 02 Pixie Fairy

They were going for 2 for $9, and I wanted to try something new (other then their cream camouflage) so I got this. Plus I wanted something that had a light coverage, compared to the cream one, for everyday wear.

I gave it a swatch, and so far, I am loving it. Light to medium coverage, plus it seems to brighten my complexion. Might get a few more of this!

2.) Picture Perfect Cream Camouflage in 04 Buff

I initially wanted to get backup for 05 Honey, but for some reason, I had gotten this instead. I want to sell it, at the original price I got it for (2 for $9), anyone interested? Want to let it go quickly, so that I can nip back down to STAGE to get 05 Honey before they close!

3.) Eyeshadow Mono in 12 Andalucia, 18 Macchiato, 28 Poison

I had gotten 28 Poison at a flea, but I have never posted it before, so here it is!

Andalucia is a beautiful brown with gold shimmer, Macchiato is a darker brown, with less shimmer (which is great for contouring the crease) and Poison is this gorgeous vivid shade of blue that I can see myself using as a water/under liner.

I have another haul coming up (other then the Mega one, >.<), just some stuff that I got from Debx and it should be up by tomorrow (if I don't get too distracted)

じゃ,またね!

Love, Honey

Haul + Update: Westmall Small Haul

honeyxkaori — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 20:52:35 SGT

Just a small haul and a small update.

Currently, my old camera is spoilt, so I am stuck with a new camera that I am find hard to work with. I am still trying to figure out how to take macro pictures or close ups, since the focus don't seem to work. Therefore that explains the lack of post. Even during my picture taking of my mega haul, I had to switch to my cellphone camera because it was hard to work out. So less talk, and here is a small haul!

I got this from May Fashion in Westmall. It's just a few backup items that I have gotten, so yup!

So firstly, I have forgotten to take a picture of the hairbands as seen in the upper right of the picture, I usually get a few at one go, as I use it on a daily basis, and it tends to get "stolen" by friends. They are a dollar each, and are really long, so I usually cut then into half and use it form there, or if you like long hair ties, you can use it all at once.

Next, I gotten a eyeliner, and this is the Rhomlon eyeliner that I have always used on a daily basis, (Though recently, I have been trying to finish up my STAGE eyeliners) and I love this, though the problem with a cheap eyeliner, is that quality is not necessary the same. The last one I got was a tad oilier, therefore, it tended to smudge a little. However, the overall quality hasn't deferred, so I am still happy.

My current mascara is in need of change, and since I saw this LA Girl mascara, which claims to be waterproof and smudgeproof. As those who have been following me for some time would know that I have been after a good waterproof and smudgeproof mascara for a long time, and though I don't have high hopes, I do hope that this wouldn't be a total flop.

And last but not least, a loose powder. I have been looking for one as well, as the ones that I have recently found and got contains shimmers and there are days where I want a matte face and those shimmer powders are really not an option. I have tried this out once, and I was rather impressed, as I didn't need to blot my face for more then 5 hours.

Next I went to Comics Connection, and got a small pouch and three metallic stickers!

]

And when my mum and I passed by BATA, we saw that they were having a 50% off sale on selected shoes, and 1 for 1 on selected shoes as well, so I got four pairs of shoes (it's hard for me to find shoes due to my weird foot OTL) but I only took pictures of three since the last was a little unglam and more for everyday wear.

And yea well, you can say I have an obsession with wedges =3=

Haul: Mega Combined Haul Prelude!

honeyxkaori — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 22:26:09 SGT

Hi girls!

I know I know, I promised a haul the other time and it's overdue again OTL But I promise that if by this week, if nothing major crops up, I would have the post up!

But for now, just a prelude to looking at the mess I have made with the phototaking...

And I followed Noppi/lolrabbit's tutorial on how to make a simple light tent here, and I used it to take the pictures! (Other then a few pictures which I had to take with my sucky handphone camera because my camera died on me and I couldn't charge it, but on the bright side, I have a new camera now 8D)

P.S And because there are so much stuff to put up, I am separating them into a few categories so that loading time is shorter!

じゃ,またね!

Love, Honey

Rambles: I am BACK!

honeyxkaori — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 23:17:16 SGT

HEY BABES!~

I know I know, I have been missing for a long time, 5 long months from my last post.

During September it was my exams and then I had a graduation project in October which constitutes as one module and I put a lot of hard work into it which paid off =D I then got a job in November and am still working now until my school starts in February! All the while working my ass off for my god-brother. =3=

So as you can see, I have been really busy, not only with school, but with work as well, and since I have started working 2 jobs, I realized, that I honestly don’t have time to do much anymore. I have to work weekends as well FML.

Adding on to the fact that I was on a makeup ban for the last 8 months and I must say I have been doing great. Now, before you say “BUT I SAW YOU BUYING MAKEUP!!!” let me just explain my definition of makeup ban.

To me a makeup ban is a ban on myself from buying excessive makeup that I am going to leave in my drawers and not use. There are two exceptions to the ban.

1.) Necessities are not considered a banned item. For example, if my foundation runs out, I am going to buy a new one because I need it. However, I am not going to splurge on a MAC foundation, because that is a want, not a need. (Though I know MAC’s blot powder is a need for most of you but you get what I mean.)
2.) Unless there is a major sale and the items are like OMGWTFBBQ cheap.

And there you have it, my take on a makeup ban. Including the fact that I was also on a Buying ban, that is the reason why you girls haven’t seen any hauls (which I know you girls love) and also why I have refrained from updating (since that would tempt me *smacks hands*)

But I have gotten a few stuff because they were really cheap and also because I recently got to know some friends who are from China and they have very happily agreed to bring back stuff that I order from Taobao for me so I could save on shipping. My last haul was very satisfying (cheap stuff that is oh-so-worth-it) and I have another 2 hauls coming in sometime in Feb.

So throughout this time I have hauled a little here and there, but the last 8 months, I have managed to amass a huge amount of stuff that I have gotten and I plan to do a mega haul post on it. So stay tuned girls! The post should be up by this week, latest the next, as there is a lot to photograph and a lot to swatch. I would try to post up the swatch from my STAGE haul as well *sweats* super long time I know OTL.

じゃ,またね!

Giveaway + Rambles: WINNER IS OUT!

honeyxkaori — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 13:40:38 SGT

So sorry for the long wait, and the long absence, school has been driving me nuts!

So for my giveaway, there were 11 comments (Not including an extra birthday wish from Ilaric, and my own ending comment), and I used Random.org for this.

raggie92
Iliaric
My Sharings
Purple Butterfly
tensunrise
tiarabangs
rawciggs
poutylips09
perpetuallylove
Anna Haywire
frockandrolla

*drumrolls*

RAGGIEEEEE!!! I will be PMing you shortly to inform you when you can get your prize =D

For the other girls, don't be disappointed, I am going to give each and every one of your lovely babes who took the time and effort to participate in my giveaway a white eye shimmer! (Meet ups of course XD)

I know this prizes are nothing much, and it's like so cheap and stuff, but I thank all of you for spending the time to join and spread the message, next giveaway will be better, I promise! 8D

On the side note, I have been so busy with school that I don't even have enough time to sleep, since my course is a 1 year diploma, I have to cramp every night just to get a decent grade, but it all paid off, and I saw a couple of As in my last semester's result, something which I haven't seen since I was in Secondary 1 (I got A for my Home Econs), so as you can tell, I was ecstatic. But now I have to work even harder then ever, and that means less posting (as if it wasn't nothing already =3=) and lesser hauling.

I am on a spending ban, and have been for the last 5 months, (WOO HOO! BIG ACHIEVEMENT! XD) and though I do buy necessities, I have been a really good girl and not purchase anything unnecessary (or unless there was a huge sale and things were sooooo cheap, but I have been avoiding sales lately too >w<) so I am rather proud of myself! Every time I see something I want, I will ask myself, do I really need it other then the fact that I want it, if there are no reasons, then I will put the item back (albeit being a little sad) and get away from it lol.

So other then that, I have been fine, but there are some changes to my schedule, as the teacher in charge of my Graduation Project is going for a holiday, so our GP is pushed forward, but I am fine with it, as it means that I can be "released" earlier, and come back to blogging! I miss this so much!

Okok, end of rambling, and back to scriptwriting. Lol, have a great weekend girls!

じゃ,またね!
