Haul from Shiseido/Nars Fall Warehouse Sale 2013

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. 

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...

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.

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.

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. :)

Shiseido Warehouse sale Haulage~

Just a quick haul post with what I picked up from the Shiseido warehouse sale this weekend. Enjoy!

the haul

Clé de Peau  eye colour quad in 1 and 3- $27 each

Clé de Peau cream eye colour in Shade 1 and 2 - $20 each

Nars concealer in Vanilla Honey - $10

Shiseido Hydro powder eyeshadow in H6 Violet Visions - $8 (I think...)

I am wearing the purple in this look. The colour is very vibrant. I applied it with my pinky and was surprised at  how easy it was to work with as well as the colour payoff with so little product. Will for sure pick up some more colour next time. It wore the entire day without budging :)

I also got a quite a few lippies, but haven't had the chance to take pictures, so I will post them up when I have them swatched as well :) Until then... thank you for reading this post!

Other items at the sale:

- Shiseido and Nars foundations for $10

- Joico shampoo (big bottle) $8

- Shiseido's Pureness, Whiteluscent, The Skincare and the Benefiance line as well as the sunscreen line

- various Orlane skincare products

Essentially, there were the same products from last time, pricing didn't increase for Nars or Shiseido makeup, however I'm not sure about the skincare products. The Shiseido face cotton were at $7... One thing that was different this time around, was the Clé de peau products :) I splurged~

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!

lots of nail polish!!!

I've tried a few of these.. the color pay off is not that great for the matte colors, but the two 'perle' have a nice shimmer with a hint of color... swatches anyone??

good brow pencil, not sure how to use the stencils... its a neat package that is very portable... :)

It just occured to me that everything was Revlon except for the one Maybelline concealer... haha...

L'Oreal + Shiseido warehouse sale 2011

Yesterday we went to both the L'Oreal warehouse sale as well as the Shiseido one and it was insane!!! There was a lot of people there and the lineups were crazy long! We waited only an hour to get into each sale however to get into the Shiseido sale could take up to 3 hours in the morning, on top of that there was a huge lineup just to pay!! This was a day full of standing, walking and being shoved around with some very aggressive shoppers at both sale who went coucou over everything!

crazy line up to go into the Shiseido warehouse sale

the shopping crew!

From the top of my head I remember only buying some eyeshadows, mascara, sunscreens, and hair products from the L'Oreal sale and for the Shiseido sale it was mainly eyeshadows(again), eyeliners, blushes, nail polishes and I got one moisturizer. Both sales had great deals however I feel that the sale at Shiseido was better as there were more options for skincare and they were continuously restocking items throughout. Will post pictures up when I finally get to it :)

Notes for when you go to these sales:
- wear comfortable shoes (you will be standing a lot!)
- wear t-shirt (it gets very hot and stuffy inside)
- bring water (keep yourself hydrated, they have washrooms if you need to take a break)
- bring snacks (especially if you decide to go to two sales on the same day)
- set a limit (you don't want to max out your credit cards, however please note that at the L'Oreal sale they do have a $600 limit per ticket)
- and finally, learn kung fu. I kid you not, you will be fending people off you and your stuff!!! Haha!!

Oh yeah. And after all this madness I still ended up going to Pacific Mall and Market Village to pick up my Shiseido stick foundation (it was not at the sale) and my Skin79 BB cream. I am prepped for summer :)
