Loose Button Luxe Box: September / Fall 2012

I've been peeking at other bloggers' Luxebox and was so surprised with what they received. I simply couldn't wait to try out the Eyeko eyeliner or get a deluxe version of the blinc mascara. However, when I opened my box, I was only disappointed by what was in it. Neither of the two things I wanted was in my box.... boooh! I guess that's just my luck. Anyways, here's what I got:

all the goodies~

will use it and see if I get smoother skin :P

love the cute bottle and the scent of this, too bad I won't be using the perfume, it's going straight to my collection of miniature box :)

I know this is for all skin types, but I found that most things that don't say oil-free doesn't go well with my skin.... should I risk breaking out?

I was going to give this away, but then I smelled the perfume and I really quite liked it... guess I'm keeping and enjoying it :)

Moroccanoil again? hmm... I think I have received a sample of every product from this brand. I like the brand but I'm getting tired of seeing it in my boxes every month~

Lancome Deficil Mascara in black

I've always wanted to try these nail polish strips out, but found it too pricey... I'm glad I got this in Glitz Blitz, I can see myself wearing this on NYE :)

The packaging: classy rectangular box almost the size of a shoe box, has a personalized touch on the sticker with the Loose Button logo and the letter "M" embossed on it, instead of the usual packing material, they use a white cloth thingy to wrap the samples in. 

I am still debating if I want to keep this box. What do you think? for $26 does it seem worth it? Wait for the November box?  

Spring Warehouse Sale: H2O, Smashbox, Marcelle, etc...

Lisa's Cosmetic Warehouse Sale April 28, 2012 (Day 1 of the many warehouse sales I will be attending in the next 3 weeks)

After an hour wait in line, I got into Lisa's warehouse sale... Like last time, it was packed (not as bad as Shiseido warehouse sale) but it got warm fast because of the amount of people in there. This time around, there were H2O products on sale for half price, so unlike last time, I spent quite a bit on skincare instead of makeup.

So what's the damage?

tada!!!  no, not all mine... 

Here's my haul :)

Some close ups~

Annabelle blushes, lip tint (that does not come off) and a pink eyeliner

Smashbox eyeshadow palettes and a stick blush

H2O skin care and eye makeup removers

Marcelle loose eyeshadow and a moisturizer with spf

Elizabeth Arden brush and some face capsules whitening thingy...

Finally some Sally Hansen randomness :)

I also got some chocolates too, as well as some body wash and Lysol wipes... It was very random... but I had a lot of fun :) Sorry for the very 'rush' feeling, I'm busy watching Em play Mass Effect 3 and I'm having trouble focusing on blogging... if anything is of interest to you and you want more info, let me know :) Thanks for reading!

NOTD: Mint Sorbet

I really LOVE this colour :) Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Mint Sortbet!! <3 I love this minty colour!

Please excuse my messiness, I don't paint my nails very well... and I usually let it clean up itself... haha... currently the edge look better (it's been 4 days!!)

NOTD: Black and Yellow

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Mellow Yellow 

I opted to try this yellow with a black crackle tip. It is summer time and I don't want to be so dark. What do you think about this style?

The SH Xtreme Wear is on sale at Shopper's for $2.50 so I decided to pick it up, try and stock up if I like them... It's not too bad, so I think I might go back to pick up some more colours :| the Mint Sorbet looked cute! I think the sale ends tomorrow...
