Swaps + Skinfood!!

Another Castledew palette!! I *love* the packaging!!! hehe. I also got the Castledew BB Cream. I tried it once, and I don’t like it that much. I’m going to give it a couple more tries before I do a review on it though. Keep checking for that!

The Castledew palette up close =]…

It’s a cheek palette. I love how there are so many colours all in 1 compact case. I get highlighting colours, pinks and peaches. Great for travel!

I also had someone do a Skinfood custom purchase for me… What did I get?…

I got… Rice Mash Wash off & Black Sesame heat mask. I have a sample of the Rice Mask which I haven’t used yet. I’m going to try The Black Sesame one this week. =] I also got a liquid eyeliner. hehe

Remember a few posts back with my ‘food porn post’? … I believe I haven’t told you guys what the pictures were of…

The hamburger I was “eating” … it was a CD case!

Those cup noodles… tissue roll holders!… cool eh? hehe

More Parcels for meeeeee, Swatches + EOTD =]

I'm loving my parcels, and the candy I got in them this time! What a surprise! hehe
When I opened one of the pacakges... this was what was waiting for me.... I didn't want to open it haha

My swaps included a Paul and Joe palette, Kose de Beaute palette, Lancome shadows, L'egere BB Cream, and the rest.... lovely surprises! I kind of ate all the candy already... I feel like such a piggy....

I did swatches on the palettes and shadows... =]

Lancome: Luring, Suntouched, Colour du Jour, 2Cool Duo

Paul & Joe Face Palette 001

Kose de Beaute 001 Sapphire Gem

I'm *loving* everything!!! =] I can't wait to do some looks with these colours. I'm excited! haha

I went with a pink & purple look today using MAC Kitschmas pigment, Satellite Dreams e/s & Noctornelle e/s. =] I'm really loving my purples and plums ...

Parcels for me!! YAY!

I'm such a dork haha. I came home from the library today to find parcels awaiting my love! I've been doing a lot of swapping on MUA =]. My unloved things can find a loving home *hehe*.

Let's lookey inside....

What is it? What is it?... Hmmmm….

MAC paint in Stilife & a L'aneige palette! The rest are extras. I love how I'm able to try so many new products this way hehe

I did swatches with the palette. The texture is so silky!! =]

Next… next…

This is the bunch of B2M empties I swapped for & Cranberry e/s. My e/s completely shattered *sad*, so I ended up putting it in a 5g jar. *sigh* I wanted to put it in my palette =[

Hmmm…. Ok next… what's in the box???

It's my order from Japanese Products Lover on ebay!! I got the Kate gel liner in BK-3. There's really pretty sparkles in it. My camera doesn't really pick it up though. Has anyone tried this liner? I'm still on the lookout for a liner that doesn't smudge! It's so frustrating trying to find a stay put liner… grrr…

I also got the Dot Dot glitter liners (Black, Brown, White)… I can't wait to try them! Hehe

And that gloss wax stuff in my hand is suppose to make your hair look soft and shiny!!

It's got some sparkles in there, and it has a nice scent. Anyone tried this? Like it?

Ok… and this I've gotten last week, and should was too lazy to blog about it…

BB Cream! Me like! I'm expecting a couple more from swaps. My BB Cream collection is growing quite quickly! I'll compare them in a future post. =] The powder in the middle is suppose to be lavender colour. It's suppose to counteract the yellowness in asian skintones. I actually use lavender to highlight, and it works quite nicely =] Also got a sample of Mutiny pigment.

A really pretty sheer, shimmery blue. Me like…

The other pigment, I got as an extra. I don't think it's by MAC. The texture is very different from MAC pigments. It's a lot finer. It's called Snint. Does anyone know what brand it is? Here's a swatch… it's a shimmery salmon colour… pretty…

Ok… and finally… my package from the lovely Jamilla. You totally spoiled me with your goodies!! Thank you! *mwahz*

She had a giveaway which included a MAC NC35 package. I was so excited, because that's my shade =]. I don't even remember what was suppose to be in the package. She put in so many extras! I cannot thank you enough! The cream blush, Fabulush, would be a colour I would never think to pick up because it looks so bright in the pan. But it comes out to a VERY nice pinky shade. I actually used it in one of my previous FOTD's as a base! I *love* it!

A swatch… so prettyyy

Thanks again Jamilla!!! Love you!

Collective Swap Haul + FOTD

For these past two weeks, I've been uber excited about getting my mail. I'm loving my swaps! Skinfood! I can't wait to try them. I think they should start opening some branches in North America!
I can't wait to head to the MAC store now with the gift card. =] I really want to try out their new Studio Sculpt foundation, but I don't really have the time to go shopping now with midterms just around the corner =/. The Castledew palette is super duper cute. Why can't American companies come out with pretty packaging?

I actually did a look today using the palette. The colours are very sheer, with a little shimmer in them. Perfect for everyday looks.

For the cheeks I used Nars Outlaw. And for the lips, I used MAC's Marquise D' lipstick and She Loves Candy lipglass. Now, it's just me being silly hehe.

Has any of you tried the new MAC foundation? Love it? Hate it?
