I went to Pacific mall on CNY weekend... Crazy right? Surprisingly, there were not too many people actually shopping (although finding a parking spot was nearly impossible...) I was there shopping with Auntie looking at random things, when I bumped into the following items that were hard to resist! (BTW this is my first time trying Asian makeup, so hopefully it works out!)
There was a nice little boutique opened by a Korean lady at Pmall D#38, that sold many Korean products! I fell in love with some Missha blushes and ended up purchasing two of them. I got M shimmer blending ball blusher in No. 2 Peach Glow, and M show powder blusher in Heidi. Both blushes smells like baby powder, which is not all that unpleasant. Peach Glow gives a very natural glow look that is subtle and beautiful, whereas Heidi gives a more youthful/playful look. Both blushes have fine glitter particles, however the ones in Heidi is more obvious. I haven't tried on either one except for at the store so I'm not sure their lasting power, however I found that they were decently pigmented on clear white skin but did not show as well on my hands. Will take pictures of them once I wear them out ^^
I also finally cave into these!
Yeps, its a piece of velcro that you are suppose to put it on your hair and keep your hair from falling into your face and interfering with your makeup/skincare routine... Unfortunately, I have very hard, thick hair and this does not seem to work very well on me :( Should have stuck to my self made velcro piece!
Last thing I got (but not from Debbie's) was an eyeliner by Koji. The CSR told me that it's one of the best waterproof/sweatproof eyeliner. I have high hope for this one, let's hope it lives up to expectation! I'll put swatches up as I use these new goodies :)

and btw... Happy Year of the Dragon, may your wishes come true! (^vv^)
I think that those Asian makeup really looks great. I think that they are beautiful on its own way. I think that those colors and design are absolutely lovely.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! I have only been there once. I am due for another Asian makeup haul, but I might do ebay this time. I did get some BB creams off a store on ebay one for great prices and I wanted to get one again. Its the Missha BB cream. Its in like a burgundy tube. Its really great. If you ever see it, try it out!
ReplyDeleteBe careful when you buy BB cream online. When I was looking up Skin79 Hot pink BB cream earlier last year I learned that there are a lot of fakes out there~ but shopping at pmall is such a rip off... T_T (BTW if I see it I will try out the Missha BB cream, thanks for the recommendation!)
ReplyDeleteI have those hair velcro thingy, it's so useful to keep my hair away from my face when I do my makeup. Great post! I followed your blog. Please check out my blog and follow me ? :) Thanks a bunch !
