Being the makeup addict that I am, I purchased my Naked 3 palette online, but only received it on the day it launched in store at Sephora. I could have just picked it up then, but I wanted to make sure that I didn't miss the palette because of my hesitance.<br />

I'm glad to say that Naked 3 has been a good investment. It is different from Naked 1, 2 and basic. I love the endless romantic looks this palette can achieve and more recently have chosen this over my Naked 1 or even over my Shiseido quad in Desert winds.<br />

Favourite combo from this palette?

Ending with a bang! I've received a lovely last bag from ipsy, since I've decided to cut down on my beauty spending for 2014. There are more than enough products to test out within my collection that it is time to call it quits with beauty subscriptions. Anyways, onto the products I received on my last month~<br />
<ul>
<li>Benefit the POREfessional - I like receiving deluxe sample of this product because I know that I'd never fork out the money to buy the full size. It's a nice product to have, but not a necessity. </li>
<li>MALIN + GOETZ Mojito Lip Balm - I'm quite excited to try out this product, but at first sniff, I didn't smell any mojito... Perhaps it reacts upon contact with lip? hehe... This lip product does not contain beeswax/cera alba, so that means I can use it!</li>
<li>Balancer Guru Balm Me Up Organic Sweet and Tangy Body Balm - I'm not sure if I would keep this product, but it seems like a nice sample size to try out.</li>
<li>Absolute! Makeup Cleansing Tissue - One can never have too many cleansing tissue! :) Will report back whether this will irritate my skin!</li>
<li>Yaby Liquid Foundation in Buff - Oil-free liquid foundation that is suppose to mimic natural skin? Oh ya! :) Looking forward to trying this out, fingers crossed that it doesn't break me out :)</li>
</ul>

Sad to say bye, bye, but at least it ended off well. If I was to get a beauty subscription, it'd likely be Ipsy.ellaHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179510832805954136noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744762170610831415.post-58266753513890443352014-01-08T15:58:00.001-05:002014-01-08T15:58:30.337-05:00Happi 2014!Hello Lovelies~<br />
<br />
I hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday! With a new year up ahead, there is so much to look forward to, as well as new goals to be reached. 2014 for me, is going to be the year of saving as there are a few big purchases on my mind (ei, purse, car... you know the usual stuff one lust after...) Here are some of my 2014 resolutions:<br />
<ol>
<li>Stick to a No-Makeup-Buy until end of March.</li>
<li>Complete 52 week Money Challenge</li>
<li>Become a Yes-girl. I should keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. This coming Friday, I'm trying bouldering. (Let's hope I survive!)</li>
<li>Anger Management. If it gets out of control, see a doctor.</li>
<li>Blog more often</li>
<li>Read all the books on my tablet (a dozen or so)</li>
<li>Workout! I need to use the gym at the condo more often~ if only the husband was with me on this one!!</li>
</ol>
<div>
If I can accomplish the above 7, I'd say I'm doing pretty good... What do you think? What are your resolutions for 2014?</div>

<li>Be a Bombshell The One Stick (to rule them all... hehe...) in Flustered </li>
<li>Mirabella Eye Blender Brush: I really like the feel of this brush, the metal is heavy but feels nice when holding it. The bristle is also soft, will be looking forward to using it to blend my eyeshadows.</li>
<li>Nicka K New York Nail Colour in Classic Taupe: yay! happy to get a taupe nail polish, although I've</li>
<li>NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in Hermes: not really my kind of lip colours, and I can't use it because it contains beeswax :(</li>

It's official, I'm a beauty addict... At least that's what Sephora seems to have diagnosed me with. Since the VIB 20% off sale, I knew I was a couple dollars short of becoming VIB Rouge, so basically one small purchase boosted my 'status' up. I received this welcome package which included the welcome card, a new Sephora VIB card as well as the Bite Beauty crème lipstick in VIB rouge. </div>

I looked on the Sephora website and it seems this colour is exclusively to VIB Rouge members. Such a shame, since it is a quite lovely red. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Em cosmetics shadows:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>good pigmentation (2 swipes each swatch)</li>
<li>no fall out</li>
<li>the colours were nothing 'special'</li>
</ul>
<div>
Em cosmetics blush:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>good pigmentation</li>
<li>not fond of the colour for cheeks, but it made an excellent all over the lid colour</li>
</ul>
<div>
I thought it was a nice idea to include this sample in the ipsy bag so that the subbies can test out the shadows for themselves, though, I wished that the colour varied a little bit more. When the three shadows were used together, the makeup was way too dark for my taste and you couldn't really tell that there were three different colour used. I guess they blended together well? I probably won't be picking up any shadows from the Em Cosmetics line, but I am very curious about their eyeliners. I wonder when will they be available in Canada. </div>

Naked3 palette has launched on the Urban Decay website today, are you picking up one?<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, they don't ship to Canada and to get our hands on one from the website requires jumping through loops!Anyways, does anyone know when it will launch on the Sephora website?ellaHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179510832805954136noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744762170610831415.post-25193950995893197902013-11-21T10:38:00.002-05:002013-11-21T10:39:06.189-05:00Haul from Shiseido/Nars Fall Warehouse Sale 2013<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In dire need of damage control~ I went into this sale without a 'to-get' list and it turned out much more detrimental for the health of my wallet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYEDr90KrW_4JrCSAcmG9jm3fLstEipK6w-xSNTV5k03-DY-E7CxokCwo9H5JrVLzvMzdD5wSyq60nqiC2iOF_nZiznx1HbwoUGAkwIgqiafOEkG-3bDQtMLvhl6X0mLl1Arl44lptghOQ/s1600/shiseido.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYEDr90KrW_4JrCSAcmG9jm3fLstEipK6w-xSNTV5k03-DY-E7CxokCwo9H5JrVLzvMzdD5wSyq60nqiC2iOF_nZiznx1HbwoUGAkwIgqiafOEkG-3bDQtMLvhl6X0mLl1Arl44lptghOQ/s400/shiseido.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
As you can see from the picture, I picked up more than enough Shiseido products as well as some Nars and Joico. My hauling didn't end there since I've also picked up some Clé de Peau products... But being the smrty pants that I am, this was the only picture I took of the CdP products...<br />

At least I know the prices... I was surprised to that the Palette de Voyage actually retailed at $180USD at Neiman Marcus when it was launched... Even though this is part of last year's holiday collection, I thought the deal was too amazing to pass.<br />
<br />
I've been to different warehouse sales and I find that one great thing about the Shiseido / Nars sale, is that the price for products is almost the same every year. Off the top of my head I only remember that lippies go for $10, single shadows for $8 and quads for $10. Shiseido cotton pads are $8, Shiseido skincare ranges from 30ish unless it's the more expensive line, those you pick up while waiting in line to pay.<br />
<br />
Overall, the sale had been amazing, but the lineups (to get in and to pay) had gotten a lot more crazy, including the rest of the shoppers. I was talking to the CdP rep about a product, she went to grab it and by the time she returned I was shuffled all the way to the end of the line... I had to yell to get her attention and give the okay. *sigh* Makeup drives a woman out of her mind! Next year, I will learn to ground myself better. :)ellaHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179510832805954136noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744762170610831415.post-15308136762556699522013-11-20T13:14:00.000-05:002013-11-20T13:14:11.271-05:00Love it or Leave it Lip combo: <b>Bobbi Brown Lip in Papaya </b>and <b>Lip gloss in Bright Pink</b>. I've been loving this colour combination together. Even though Papaya looks scary on the tube, it is actually a quite everyday appropriate colour. Papaya leaves a nice stain hours after application, so the colour is never 'gone, gone'. All I have to do is reapply the gloss and I get this lovely neutral pink colour on my lips. <b style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Love it!</span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px;">I've tried two BB creams lately and one of them was the<b> Etude House Precious Mineral BB cream</b>. I liked the scent and the coverage of this product but I don't love what it did to my skin. It broke me</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px;"> out like crazy. Like most BB cream, it made me look way too pale.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px;"> </span><b style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px;">Leave it!</b><br />
<br />
When I saw this in other people's Fall luxebox last year I lusted after it... and when I bought it, I was so excited to try it out, only to be disappointed. The<b> Eyeko Liquid eyeliner</b> did not love me. Smudged like crazy and I turned raccoon within the hour. Even though, I've only heard good reviews about this it is most definitely a fail for people with oily lids. To make matters worst, it applied unevenly and therefore made a 2 minutes application take twice as long. Perhaps I got a dud, but I won't be repurchasing another one just to verify if that was the case. <b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16px;">Leave it!</span></b><br />

When I initially purchased this, I wasn't too fond of using it, but I've since changed my mind. The <b>Guerlain Meteorites Light-Diffusing Perfecting Primer</b> is a lightweight base that 'illuminates and conceals' while keeping the face matte. It is lightly perfumed, a fact that I wasn't so crazy about, but like all scent goes away after a while. For me this product was a good makeup base and I was glad it did not make my face greasy. This is a great way for me to 'finish' off the skincare routine and a great 'start' for the makeup to follow. On days I use this primer, my pores are less apparent throughout the day. My skin has just been loving it, drinking it up almost as soon as I apply it over my face :) With the price tag of $78 for 30ml... it better deliver! JK... but seriously... it's expensive and I'd have to think long and hard about getting it when I'm done with this bottle... <b style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Love it!</span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><br />
<br />
An accessory I've been loving is the <b>Ipsy January bag</b>. I like this simple looking bag with the detail on the inside. The bag looks small but can fit a surprisingly large amount of things in. Since it is fall, I keep a scarf in the there as well as <b style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Love it!</span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><br />

<b>Nexus 7</b>, utterly addicted to this device. It's perfect for watching Youtube video, reading books/comics, playing games, surfing and just basically anything you need to do... Think netbook but even more compact and portable. :) It is similar to the iPad mini but for a fraction of the price. <b style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Love it!</span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><br />

One thing I have been LOVING is my <b>purse organizer</b>. In fact, every person I've shown it to, purchased one after. It is just super handy if you switch bags often. I love being able to find my keys or phone when I need it.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
the list:</div>
<ul>
<li>The Christmas Penguin - this cutie is a holiday limited edition, with each peng being 'unique' or as my hub and I like to call it 'special.' :) This guys is just too perfect to be used!</li>
<li>Melting Snowman - I see this guy and it made me think about this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Merry-Snowman-Story-Sparkle-Glow/dp/0590460218">book</a>. I'm not sure why I keep thinking that the snowman's name is Frigo. I actually own a copy of this book in French... so I wonder... Anyways, I'm sure I will spoil myself with this spicy bath melt and I'm looking forward to it!</li>
<li>Magic Wand - this cute bubble bar can be use to make several baths 'magical.' I don't know why, all I could think of was how will I store it when I break off pieces of it~ :) Shopping for new jars? :) :)</li>
</ul>
<div>
Two of these goodies is in a jar that is at this moment sitting on my vanity. Some of you may wonder, why? Well, I found another purpose for these lovely bath/bubble bars, whenever I feel a tad stressed, I just leave the lid open for a while and let the relaxing kick in. Worked twice so far, no lies ;)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think these bath sweets make excellent treats for anyone looking for something cute, smells great and is useful. Indulge a little!</div>

The bracelet this year is actually different from the pink ribbon one from last year. It is a silvertoned bracelet with lots of different charms attached to it. </div>

I was surprised at how much I liked this bracelet. At first I wasn't sure if it was going to fit me since most bracelet goes on too big. But wrapping this around my wrist three times and hooking it onto the smallest setting made it work~ Such a delicate, yet playful accessory~<br />

So here is a list of products sorted by the brands. I would do swatches of all of them in a separate post, but I included some simply because I just couldn't wait. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
<u>The Face Shop</u>:<br />
Mini Pet Perfume Hand Cream in 03 White Floral - too cute for words, still in their original packaging!<br />
Mini Pet Perfume Hand Cream in 04 Fruity Floral - this one too ^^<br />
Face Blusher in 05 Pink Affair<br />
Face Blusher in 06 Fuzzy Peach<br />
Face Blusher in 07 Pink Peach<br />
Face Blusher in 02 Gold Glow Highlighter<br />
Eyes Shadow in 01 Purple Fog<br />
Eyes Shadow in 02 Retro Blue<br />
Eyes Shadow in 03 Peach Kissed<br />
Eyes Shadow in 04 Brownie<br />
Eyes Shadow in 12 Baby Pink<br />
Eyes Shadow in 16 Beautiful Orange<br />
Eyes Shadow in 18 Purple Dance<br />
Eyes Shadow in 22 Cocoa Powder<br />
Nail Polish Remover in 01 Rose - It is slightly rose scented and did its job well. For 80 cents, I can't really complain anything about it.<br />
<br />
<u>Etude House</u>:<br />
Drawing Eye Brow in 03 Brown<br />
Drawing Eye Brow in 05 Gray - Very light packaging compared to my current HG Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting pencil (at a fraction of the cost!!), the grey is decently pigmented for brows, the brush on the end has hard bristles, which I'm not fond of.<br />

I've been wearing these two colours every day as it is perfect for work. I did not realize that they came without a case, but since there is a magnet on the back I just popped these two pans in an old mint container. The edge of the pans are also slightly higher than the typical pans and are hard to fit into a regular palette.</div>

Cat Chu Wink Gloss in 09 Fanta Orange - Big disappointment, I expected it to have great colour payoff, but was left rather underwhelmed. There is no colour, just a gloss with glitter. Booh!<br />

I feel that this tube looks so cheap, but it could be because I feel that the logo was just so poorly designed and fails to look luxurious. Anyways, this dramatic volume mascara retails for $20 USD, a single coat is suppose to amp up your lashes and gives an instant dramatic effect. I'm sitting on the fence with either giving this a try (despite it being not waterproof) or just give it out someone who has a higher chance of success with it. </div>

I really appreciate that Ipsy tries to please everyone and included an Em Cosmetic product... but I can't help but being disappointed in receiving the mascara... Anyhoot, did you receive something different this month?ellaHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179510832805954136noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744762170610831415.post-52296907390863980242013-11-07T12:08:00.000-05:002013-11-07T12:08:06.695-05:00Sephora VIB birthday gift 2013<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I picked up a week before my birthday the Sephora's VIB birthday gift, which consist of two Benefit Cosmetic products: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>They're Real! mascara - Benefit's 'breakthrough bestseller' </li>
<li>Watt's Up - a champagne coloured highlighter with a cream to powder finish that is suppose to give you that extra 'wow' factor</li>
</ul>

Mini rant: I'm not extremely crazy about getting samples of mascara because I'm very overstocked of them. Also, this has to be my third sample of They're Real! mascara that I've accumulated in my stash... I know this seems to be a very coveted items, but do they have to include it in every sample box? /endrant<br />
<br />
With all the ranting, I have to say that I am quite excited about the Watt's Up since it is small, portable and well cute. I was almost going to use it this morning, but I realized I haven't taken a picture of it before I use it... so yeah... I'll get there ^_^ellaHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179510832805954136noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744762170610831415.post-24514529006152168652013-11-06T12:41:00.002-05:002013-11-18T09:52:30.518-05:00Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in 54 Boy<div style="text-align: left;">

Chanel's 54 Boy, on lips with flash</div>

<span style="line-height: 19px;">Boy is </span><span style="line-height: 19px;">a My-Lip-But-Better colour because of this fact, it is very wearable and suitable for work. This is also the reason why, I've worn it almost everyday during the month of September and early October. I still enjoying wearing it late October, but I've started on my deeper fall shades :)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall Rating ***** / 5 (1 = worst 5 = best) Boy is just awesome. I don't know what else to say.<br />Price *****/5 (1 = soooo cheap! 5 = pricey!) At a whooping $39CAD, easily one of the most expensive lippy I currently own.<br />Packaging Quality *****/5 (1 = worst 5 = best) Very sleek black tube with the Chanel symbol on the lid. It has the lovely gold accent making it look that much more luxe.<br />Scent? Sweet floral... I love it...<br />Would you buy this product again? * dreamy eyes* of course... are there any other colours you'd recommend me from this line?!</span>ellaHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179510832805954136noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744762170610831415.post-51386033215481410632013-11-06T11:41:00.003-05:002013-11-06T11:41:34.950-05:00Bobbi-to-Go Sephora 500 VIB points perk<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

It contains almost everything you need on the go:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>4 lovely neutral eyeshadows (Bone, Heather Mauve, Saddle, Mahogany) first impressions: Bone was a colour that blended into my lid colour, Heather Mauve is as gorgeous in the pan as it is on the lid and Mahogany was an nice warm brown. Did not get to try Saddle yet. All the eyeshadows were very buttery!</li>
<li>blush (Pale Pink) - first impression: for such a bright colour in the pan, this blush was surprisingly wearable, and I was able to apply it with my fingers, though would prefer using a brush.</li>
<li>Intensifying Long-Wear Mascara - first impression: what a tiny brush! However, it is able to getevery single lash from root to the very ends. Does not clump and separates lashes very well, but see minimal lengthening or volumizing. Lashes still feel soft with mascara on.</li>
<li>eye cream, lovely addition to any eye cream addict's collection - first impression: performance of product was neutral, did not find it exceptionally hydrating.</li>
</ul>

<br />
I hoarded a bunch of stuff this past two months and decided to show them all at once now... Although, I'm still waiting for my Mario Badesco samples that has not yet arrived :( booh!<br />
<br />
Anyways... Do you recognize any of the products and when I could have gotten them? :)<br />

Also, I technically got these free <a href="http://makeup-for-fun.blogspot.ca/2013/09/lipstick-freebies.html">lippies</a> (UD and Giorgio Armani) in September... but they had their separate post because it was just too awesome not to share them instantly~ellaHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179510832805954136noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744762170610831415.post-7745669343846290142013-11-01T08:53:00.003-04:002013-11-01T08:53:58.635-04:00Fall Warehouse sale 2013It's that time again!<br />

Tada! My October Ipsy bag finally arrived yesterday, and I was not disappointed. I think this may be my favourite one yet. (I'm easy to please ^_^) Here's the list of products:<br />
<ul>
<li><i>Zoya Nail polish in Giovanna</i> (full-size) We seem to be getting nail polish often, not that I'm complaining since they send out different colours and this time the colour is perfect for the season, just in time for Halloween (and if paired with the right red, perfect for Christmas!)</li>
<li><i>Buxom Full On Lip Polish in Dolly</i> (deluxe sample) Did I ever mention that I adore deluxe lippy samples, especially the Buxom gloss? :) I hit jackpot with this one!</li>
<li><i>Sexy Hair Blow Dry Volumizing Gel</i>: I wish I had a hairspray again, I really enjoyed them, but this one isn't so bad. I will give it a try and see if it helps with my flat hair ^_^</li>
<li><i>be Delectable hand cream in vanilla and cream</i>: Another item I'm happy to receive, I'm looking forward to hunting down strawberry and cream ^_^</li>
<li><i>LA Fresh Oil-free face cleanser</i>: one can never have too many of these :) These came at an amazing time too, since I just finished my Neutragena ones.</li>
</ul>

I was pleasantly surprised, their customer service was excellent. Another plus was that my parcel arrived safely and quickly, within 2 weeks of me placing the order (which is faster than Sephora orders that is just across the border).

As a person with pore issues, the Etude House Wonder Pore trial kit is something I'm quite interested in trying out. Let's find out if it really works!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This set includes:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Wonder Pore White Clay Clear 10g (rinse with lukewarm water after 15-20 mins)</li>
<li>Wonder Pore Freshner 25ml (like toner, apply with cotton, or I just pat it all over my face)</li>
<li>Wonder Pore Corrector 5ml (apply only to areas you want to treat)</li>
</ul>
<br />

Lador Perfect Hair Filler got my attention because 1, I was unfamiliar with the name and 2, what on earth are hair fillers? My first thought was that it'd help me if I had balding issues, but I don't... Anyways, after a quick google search, it turns out to be hair treatment for damaged hair. Perfect :) Just the sample that I was looking for.<br />

After taking and uploading all these pictures I realized that the main piece was not mentioned and only briefly present in the first picture. It was the Cedia BB cream and its mineral powder, perhaps it'd get its own post? ;) Until next time, take care!</div>

Another mini haul from one makeup obsessed junkie. Picked these up a couple weeks ago when I meet up with a friend for some girl QT and dinner. It just so happened to be the release date of the Chanel Le Jour, La Nuit et Le Weekend at Holts. The counters were busy, but one lady did decide to talk to me and help me out. Although I didn't pick up any of the new release, she gave me some samples to try out. Here's my first Chanel haul~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Purchase: Vitalumiére Aqua foundation in 20 Beige and Rouge Coco Shine in 54 Boy. Freebies: two sample sets of Le Jour, La Nuit and Le Weekend, as well as a deluxe sample of Le Weekend. I haven't tried out the samples yet, but I will once I'm done the samples I'm currently trying out (Guerlain for those who are curious.)<br />
<br />
A little info I learned about the new release: I was told by the CSR that Le Jour and La Nuit are suppose to be additional steps to your skincare regime, used after toner and before moisturizer. Le Weekend on the other hand, as its name implies, is suppose to be used during the weekend as both day and night replacement of your serum <b>and </b>moisturizer. CSR said, for best results, you should use it on the day you wear minimal makeup and for better results, use it two consecutive days.<br />

Vitalumière caught out of its box! :) This foundation applies nicely and easily with the best make up tools ever, your fingers! After application it feels like I have nothing on and yet my skin is evened out. Redness is significantly reduced, but blemishes are still obvious. </div>

The lipstick just glides on so smoothly, I see myself finishing this and repurchasing. The colour is definitely a MLBB~! I am totally in love with the formula of this lipstick, I don't care for the hint of sweet floral fragrance for the lipstick.<br />
<br />
Overall, I am quite happy with my purchase as well as my experience with Chanel, I am most likely going to check out more products and make a few purchases in the future. My wallet is scared... hehe...<br />

After months of accumulating these empties, it is finally time to pour them onto my desk and take some pictures... Here's a mini review on the 22 products, mostly mini samples but a few full sizes as well, enjoy!<br />

Makeup:<br />
<i>Revision Intellishade SPF45 Matte</i> - It was an okay tinted moisturizer, didn't break me out, has some coverage, a higher SPF than most TM, unfortunately, I haven't seen it around in stores so I suspect it'd be hard to find if I loved it. <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Maybe~</span></b><br />
<i>Pur minerals correcting primer complexion pur-fection neutral</i>- I really enjoyed using this, even more than the Benefit's Porefesional, but it seems to be discontinued or 're-formulated.' If I didn't have so many face primers to go through, I'd probably purchase this in full-size. <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Maybe~</span></b><br />
<i>Eyeko lengthening skinny mini brush mascara</i> - This product was okay, I like the brush and the application, not so crazy about the formula, it smudges on my oily lids. <b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16px;">Leave it!</span></b><br />
<i>Urban Decay Supercurl curling mascara</i> - I liked this, clean and easy application with no clumps. Unfortunately not waterproof. <b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16px;">Leave it!</span></b><br />
<i>Buxom Lash mascara</i> - I like the wand of this mascara, it gives my thin lashes a fuller look, and it does great job lengthening as well. The best of the 4 mascaras I used up. <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Maybe~</span></b><br />
<i>Dejavu lash knockout</i> - this fiberwig mascara didn't do much for my short lashes, after much rave in the Asian community I had high hopes. The formula clumps on me after a few coats, not a pretty sight. <b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16px;">Leave it!</span></b><br />
<i>Koji Dolly wink liquid eyeliner</i> - I love this eyeliner, it's super easy to apply. Love the formula so much I have backup(s) of it. <b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Love it!</span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><br />
<i>L'Oreal Age Perfect Instant Glow BB cream</i> - not a BB cream at all, not ideal for oily skin. Best for dry to normal skin. It has a tint.I used it once and decide to toss out the rest of the samples because I greased up within 30 mins even after setting it with a powder. <b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16px;">Leave it!</span></b><br />
<i>Lush It started with a kiss</i> - I didn't finish this lip tint, but it's expired. I love the colour of this product but I found the scent too off putting and had not really used it. Not a big fan of it staining my fingers when applying it either. <b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16px;">Leave it!</span></b><br />
<i>Laura Mercier loose setting powder</i> - I got a tiny sample of this from Sephora and used this mainly to set my undereye concealer. It seems to do a better job than my bareminerals mineral veil, making it a product worth checking out~ <b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Love it!</span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><br />

Skincare:<br />
<i>H2O dual-action eye makeup remover</i> - It does an ok job at removing eye makeup, but is not as good as Lancome's bi-facil or Clinique's Take the Day off makeup remover. Not a product I'd repurchase. <b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16px;">Leave it!</span></b><br />
<i>Orlane Light smoothing cream</i> - did not really like this cream as it broke me out a little, I ended up using this on my cuticle because I didn't want to waste product. It is surprising not greasy. <b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16px;">Leave it!</span></b><br />
<i>Benefit moisture prep toning lotion </i>- a nice and refreshing lotion with a clean scent that is not overpowering. Would I purchase? prolly not, but I did enjoy it. <b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16px;">Leave it!</span></b><br />
<i>Laneige Water sleeping pack </i>- Love using this product when my skin feels dehydrated or if I just feel like pampering myself. It is not a greasy product, has a lovely scent and my skin loves it. I can leave this on my face while it does its magic and not worry about it making a mess of my pillow, but then again, I don't put a super heavy layer on. I already purchase the full size. <b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Love it!</span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><br />
<i>H2O Face Oasis shine-neutralizing gel</i> (old packaging) - I love this light gel moisturizer. I'd say it does a pretty good job at moisturizing my face and keeping it relatively oil-free. I've noticed big improvement on the texture of my skin. Love! I hope that they did not change the formula of the new packaging. <b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Love it!</span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><br />
<i>Lush Breath of Fresh Air toner</i> - As its name implies, it is refreshing toner/mist with a lovely scent. It is a lovely treat, however, not a repurchase as I don't see any other benefits from using it and can't justify having to spend so much on this mist. <b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16px;">Leave it!</span></b><br />
<i>Amorepacific Treatment Enzyme Peel</i> - Sephora sample - Lovely gentle exfoliator with brighten benefits. I used it daily and it did not irritate my skin. Freshly cleansed skin that never felt so soft. Purchased full size (has a hefty price tag though!) <b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Love it!</span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><br />
<i>Amorepacific Treatment Cleansing Foam</i> - Sephora sample - It's a nice cleanser, however, not as impressive or innovative as the enzyme peel. Product did not wow me and will not be purchasing it.<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16px;">Leave it!</span></b><br />
<i>Cle de peau Refreshing cleansing Foam</i> - Holt sample - This product smells heavenly and makes your skin squeaky-clean without drying it out. However, another product with a hefty price tag. Hopefully, will find a cheaper dupe someday~ <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Maybe~</span></b><br />

Hair care:<br />
<i>Chi Silk Infusion</i> - I enjoy this product as it does temporarily make my hair silky, it's no treatment but it does what it claims. I'm surprised at how long this tiny sample lasted me especially since I have a lot of hair and my hair is coarse and thick. Won't have to worry about purchasing as I still have two samples left~ <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Maybe~</span></b><br />
<i>Ojon Hair Rub-Out Dry Cleanser</i> - It's one of the best dry shampoos I've tried, but still not what I'm looking for. The scent is like the rest of the Ojon products, not off-putting but noticeable even minutes after application. Hair does feel refreshed and my hair doesn't suddenly 'grease up' mid day. <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Maybe~</span></b><br />

Others:<br />
<i>L'Occitane Fleur Chérie hand cream</i> - did not like the scent, will not repurchase. As a hand cream, it wasn't too greasy and did the job, I just detested the scent. <b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16px;">Leave it!</span></b><br />
<i>Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia Cologne </i>- I like pears, so I knew I'd love this scent. It has a fresh floral scent and makes me think of spring (oh the irony that it's fall already.) Whatever the season may be, wearing this makes me feel refreshed and slightly giddy (why? I don't know). I usually just spray once on each wrist and rub it against my neck. However, as I found out, it can be overwhelming if you overapply... <b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Love it!</span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><br />
