FOREVER 21 buys for Melbourne trip

I did a spree a few days ago for F21 to stock up on some apparels for my upcoming trip!

The cut for the top is really flattering. Got it for that very reason.

A jacket that covers the butt, you know, just in case. The weather might be cold and I do not want my ass to freeze, haha.

Small haul I would say, everything was reasonably priced so I am happy. (:

collective makeup haul

Vanity stuffies that I have bought for the past month or so. Collective haul time!

Dr. G Brightening Balm SPF 30PA++ 60ml (full sized). This is my HG BB cream. Instead of liquid foundation, I use this. Love the coverage, love the lightness and love how it looks. Doesn't oxidise on me too. It last me the whole day, by that I mean 12 hrs :) You can get a free tube sample here. It's a BIG tube sample, (below is the picture for reference) I use it religiously 3-4months straight everyday before getting the full sized! You can buy this from any local SASA branch.

Silk Naturals Fibre Optic Blush Brush. Highly raved as dupe for MAC 188. It's so miniature, palm-sized, I use it if I want to concentrate my blush only on the apples of the cheeks.

Got this Cure Futur Pack for free from fr3b. Supposedly it is an essence. Have tried it, it's just so-so I feel. A bit too runny for my liking.

Managed to find 2 brand new tubs of Chacott professional loose powder in 753 & 754 after I posted a "in search of" post at sg_beauty. Had owned & used this loose powder previously religiously everyday till I am done with a tub and I love it so much that I decided to search for it. Thank god for sg_beauty! (:

Finally got my hands on Shu Uemura eyelash curler. It works so well! No wonder it is highly raved! But, but, it is so pricey for an eyelash curler, it retails for SDG$32.Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Also got myself 2 Fasio lippies. First time trying out this brand, this lippies are surprisingly moisturizing!

Got this Alobon No.22 after I saw adorebeauty (Diana) reviewing it. Supposedly it is a dupe for MAC Brunette MSF. Very pigmented man, it's so cheap, retails for SDG$6.80. Tried it as a bronzer a few times and it looks good! Need to be light handed though since it is so pigmented.

Some US drugstore buys which can be bought from drugstore.com. Been wanting to try this 2 highly raved items for so long! ELF eye shadow brush picks up colours really well, loving it so far. Carmex lipbalm works so well for my dry lips. Loving the texture and smell too. Yummy.

Shishedo sale buys. Kinda impromptu because I went on the 2nd day (which is the last day) at 6pm. Was at town shopping with Isyah so kinda popped by to take a look. Everything was so cheap, there's other brands like Maquillage, Shishedo, Cle de peau beaute & Ettusais, but I was unfamiliar with those brands so did not get any. Got some cheap makeup from ZA & Majolica majorca instead! ZA items were going for 3 for $12 and MM items were going for 3 for $15.

Some blushers to add to my collection. I love pink blushers, make me look like I am in pink of health, haha.

One of the most favorite scents. Ever. Tresor Lancome. Lancome has some lovely scents, another one of my favourite is Miracle by Lancome. My late Mom used to use the same scent, I love it on her and I have been using it for years now.

for the month of may!

Some online apparel purchases over the month. Better to blog about it so that I can keep track of my purchases, lol.

A mini skirt from Urban Outfitters. They really do have nice stuff, very unique pieces. Decided to buy this cute skirt at their site.

Pleated Front Lace Trim Top in Navy
From: HH

Barely buy from AE because most of their items do not fit me well and they are especially tight around the bust area. I am a standard UK8 / 36C and most of their items do not fit me well around the bust. This dress below is no exception. Fits me fine bust down, but omfg so tight at the bust area! :( Pretty dress, but will have to sell it off.


Lace Chiffon Dress in Wine
From: AE

I am currently a huge fan of ATBU because they really do have an eye when it comes to the apparels they bring in for their store. It's always a delight because they bring in really pretty things. ATBU are on the pricier end, but it's worth the money spent, because the quality is really luxe.

Some of their stuff which I bought.
