I did not even know there was a sale until I saw FacesBySarah posted it up on Instagram. So i posted it up on my Page. The story goes like this, if you are a member card holder, you are entitled to a 20% off purchase storewide. It is ridiculous how easy to be a member. Just SIGN UP! It was perfect timing since everyone just got their pay! haha! The queue was super long however Adib was kind enough to queue for me while i hunt fo rmy stuffs. So it was not that bad after all. :)

Anyway, after knowing about the sale, i got busy until these pretty ladies came to me and say hi! Thanks Seri & Nadia! I appreciates it alot! We managed to talk and even share what goodies we got! Nice! I get super happy it made me wanna buy more in store! haha! Here they are! They deserve a special slot in my blog. A BIG THANK YOU! You both are part of the reason why Adorebeauty is alive till today. After 3 years!
So what did I get from the sale? I took the opportunity to try new things and also to stock up! I instantly went to Make Up For Ever when i knew about the sale. A MUST HAVE, are their rouge artist range. I got myself the MAT 5. I loved how mauve it looked and how natural it looked on me. Lip swatch is on the first image as shown above, extreme top left corner. THAT was when i had it on. Love love love.It almost looked similar in real life when comapring with the MAC Cosmo lipstick, which was my HG lipstick ever but i think MAT 5 is prettier. MAC....~ move aside. And then, on the stock-up list, I got two of the items. The urban decay primer potion and Benefit They're Real lashes! I know i know, i told you all i hated it, but after a while i have to amdit it grew on me and it just makes my lashes looked super long PLUS it is one of the mascara i have tried that does not bleed on my under eye area. These items are really worth to buy after the sale. Taking opportunity is the key to any sale. haha! Speaking like a pro~.Talking about opportunity, i took it up this time and caved in my temptations. Finally. I welcome you, Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer in my life, my vanity, my make up drawer. All rise. This is epic really. I wanted this for the longest time and finally i grabbed it. I got it in shade sand and i tried it on my chin earlier on and i like it. I can't wait to wear it on my face tomorrow! THIS IS A MUST DO REVIEW PRODUCT. Please remind me if i forgot. haha!
The shade that I got. I thought Almond was my shade but its too dark for me now. So best is to swatch it on my chin and see if it is the right colour for you.

THAT IS ALL FOLKS!

Sale is from 1 NOV - 5 NOV 2012

I was glad to post up a blog right after i came back from my shopping spree. Thanks for reading! OH! Btw, what did you get?!

Do you know that Benefit in Singapore is highly overpriced? That is why i never really want to purchase anything from Benefit locally. However, i got the mascara online and it cost me US22 only! I've heard so much rave on how amazing this mascara works and how it became a HG for many youtubers. So i caved in and bought one wanting to try and see if it works on me too. So lets start with the product description shall we?

Product Description:

They're real! lengthens, curls, volumizes, lifts & separates. Our jet black, long-wearing formula won’t smudge or dry out. A specially designed brush reveals lashes you never knew you had!

What else you need to know:
94% saw dramatic length & volume*
90% saw base-to-tip curl*
94% saw visible lift*
100% saw long-wearing results*The wand is unique as it has a wide bristle with shorter bristles at the tip for under eye application. Its like mini combs. That is the unique part of the mascara.

My experience:

Firstly, I am going to talk about the mascara. There is no strong scent to it. Upon application, it seperates my lashes (As you can see below), and lengthens it. The wand makes applying mascara alot easier as i do not even need to wiggle it in a zig zag motion to coat my lashes with the mascara. It glides easily as i stroke it upwards and the formula stick on my lashes nicely. However when i apply it too near to my lash line, the wand hit and hurts my lash line (skin). It pokes and i felt the pain which makes my eyes shut immediately, in return having all the mascara smudges on my under eye. THAT is to be avoid at all cause. Do not apply it too close to your lash line. (lesson learnt.) 

I like the pointy tip which has short bristles as it helps to apply lashes as close to my tear duct. You can see all my lashes were coated with mascara which does not happen that often. The mascara did not help me in curling my lashes as you can see. Its almost straight.
You can see here too. Minimal curl but it does lengthens and do not clump at all.

I may have owned the best mascaras in Asia, the Dollywink Mascara, Maybelline Falsies Mascara and Loreal 4D Architect Mascara. These mascaras hands down, works the same or even better than the Benefit They're Real. They provide length, volume(which i never mentioned on they're real) and curl. They are also much cheaper compared to SG Benefit mascara which is sold at $48 each. I just dont see the hype in this mascara. I can say Dollywink mascara is 10 times better and that is definitely my HG. But the sucky thing to it is that it bleeds. Benefit They're real mascara does not at all. At such a high price, i don't recommend my readers to buy as it might perform slightly above average for you.

My Ratings:

I wont repurchase.

My sister have a habit of showing me whatever she buy in the cosmetic section upon arriving home. So she showed me this. I was not impressed as I thought "haakh!" another mascara. One day when we went out for dinner, my eyes couldn't stop staring at the lashes! We were born with medium length lashes but lack of volume. Thanks MOM! haha! Anyway, i then asked her, was she using the new mascara? And she said yes!

The next morning i had to try it. And honey, i put my dollywink mascara to rest.

Presenting you, L'oreal Lash Architect 4D mascara, sold at the Drugstores locally at $27.90.  
The little details on the wand captures me. It is a very long wand. Approximately 3cm in length which can sometimes be intimidating. The wand itself is slanted upwards or downwards depending on how you position it on your eyes.

My experiences:

Speaking about the slanted slightly angled wand, it was easy to position it for my top lashes, the side lashes which was very much abandon by many mascaras out there and also my inner lashes toward smy tearduct. Turning the wand angle downward I managed to get on my lower lashes too. This mascara WOWs me. On the first coat, it looked like no other mascara could possibly offer. However, on the second coat, my lashes looked fuller, it looked doll-like because the wand can reach even at the outer corner lashes of my eye. My lashes have never looked super long and noticeable. The formula of the mascara made my lashes thicker and much more curl. I can definitely skip curling my lashes with this mascara before the first coat but definitely a boost if i were to curl after the second coat when the mascara is dry.

It is also a wet formula as you can see on the picture above. So bare in mind you have to give time for it to dry before the second coat. This mascara made my lashes curl the whole day. Not even an inch of shifting in placement. They stay there the whole day.  I have captured how great this mascara is.

Many would ask, how about removing it?

Apply your oil remover on the lashes by soaking it first (for a while) and then wiggle it upwards to remove. I need at least 2 cotton pads to remove it.  Which normally I used only one is enough per eye. It does take abit more work to remove. But none of my lashes were damaged due to that.
Look at how happy my lashes are in the end!

Worthwhile much!

Overall Ratings:

Have you tried this yet? It is new on the shelf! I definitely would recommend it! GOOD JOB L'OREAL!

May i introduce you to my HOLY GRAIL mascara? Now you could just close this review off because you must have known i would tell you to head out and buy this baby. I bite the bullet and paid $29.90 for a drugstore macara at Watson. Its not just an ordinary mascara. It is promising. Partly due to its Japanese origin. So cut to the chase, lets start witrh my experimentation. Pictures speaks a THOUSAND WORDS. Here goes!
Here are my NAKED Lashes. I have curled them on this photo.
This is TWO coats of the macara on my lashes. oH HELLO! I am awake! Hi lashes, meet my readers! haha! LOOK LADIES! I have nothing much to say. And this lashes LAST the day. I had the most prasies on this mascara more than anything else! They are reaching out like WI-FIs! So my experience with this mascara is so amazing! It spreads my lashes, it lengthens my lashes and somehow it looked like i wore single lashes! When i curl it for the last time before heading out the door, my lashes stayed there. It does not weight down too. The mascara is dry therefore you do not need to wait too long for it to dry nor smudges on your eye upon wearing them.

I love the mascara BUT! This mascara do bleed on my under eye are after about 10 hours. Thats the cons. But i don't know why, but I am not bothered about it so much. Maybe because it worked superb that it totally redeems the bleedings,  Is it waterproof? I tested it trying to remove it with water. It failed. My face cleanser? It failed too!

So here is the review of my HOLY GRAIL Mascara. I recommend all of you to get them.

I recently bought this at BHG for 20% off on post-christmas sale day. I have been wanting to try it just because i saw it being highly raved by many youtuber in the US. At $16.70 i felt lucky owning it, rather than paying $20.90 for it.

The packaging is super cute. The colour is amazing plus it is slighter than many mascaras i owned. The brush however IS VERY UNIQUE. Apart from the normal wand, it helps to seperate my lashes and coat each and every "hair" i have which makes my lashes looked "fanned-out".  Litterally like a fake lash.Yes the wand is flimsy! In my own experience, I think the flimsy handle of the wand makes the lashes much more natural. In a way it does not encourage too much products amongst your lashes. Well thats at least what i felt. It felt like i was wearing ardell lashes. That was how soft my lashes are. Truly unique.
So here are the images which was captured to show you what i meant.

Fanned out hello!I am trully amazed and such a great fan of this mascara. I look forward to applying it every morning which i never had such determination to do so. haha! It gave me such long luscious lashes which i got compliments of! I love it! 

See what i mean? Plus on a side note, after a whole day of long wearing, this lashes does not droop an inch. It does not bleed on my under eye nor does it come off with water. I tried bathing with the lashes and yes its still on. Which in fact a fake lashes would have came off! haha!

So my verdict is definitely

Try it to believe it!

Once again! Thanks for reading!

These are the listed items mentioned:
- Sleek Au Naturel Palette
- Sleek Pout Pain in Mink
- Loreal Collagene Mascara ($22.90 @ Giant)
- Chanel Rouge Allure in Flamboyante ($44)
- Chanel Nail Laq in Peridot ($38)

Thanks for watching!

These are the images captured for these review. If you want to find out more, watch my video for it because i might have missed some important pointers.These are the two products which i want to clarify and needs images to proof my point. So here it i is! I got this powder in D. They have 4 different shades and i was quite surprise Kate has colours for us tan ladies!

Cut to the chase,

I am in love with the face powder. I love the puff which is so soft and apply the product smoothly. Even with my Sigma flat top kabuki brush, the powder gave me the coverage i want. HOWEVER, this does not last all day. After 6 hours, i find the powder fades and my face tend to get oily. Watch my video for more info!

On the eyeliner pencil, i love that it is so soft and gel like "kohl" pencil. It does not irritate my eyes. Upon applying no tugging of my eyelid was done and i like that it was super black and easy to apply. However, it bleds. At the end of the day, i looked like a panda. Check this image out, if you know what i mean.

Nonetheless, on this video, you can find my review on the mascara base and the lash eyeliner too! Enjoy!

Got any question? Dont be afraid to ask!

These were spotted at Watson, Clementi Mall. Nicely displayed at the corner of the cosmetic section, ZA were offering new packing of their products. These are more feminine and girlie rather than their signature blue tone packaging. These made me stop to look and touch their products.

The products ranges from mascara bases to different effect of mascaras, liners, new packaging brow pencils and eye & lip remover. If you are a fan of ZA, you should check these out!I missed out the price, if you do know about them, share it down at the comment section, OR if you hauled it, paste your link below too!

Somewhat the mascaras are close to the majolica majorca ranges.

Majolica Majorca has this bad bad habit of naming their mascara with the longest form ever. Haha! But still, i love this mascara.

Why?

It is a formula which I recognized ( because i have used the other types of mascara) being that it is wet, has a slight cherry-medicine-y scent to it and the mascara which is hard to come off. VERY HARD. Did i emphasize, hard? haha!But, i do love this mascara being that it showed me its full potential. I can say bye bye to natural false lashes, because I have the MJ Lash Expender Frame Plus Mascara. I need to also let you know that i received this mascara from the last Shiseido Beauty Investigation event, as a goodie bag many of us bloggers received. While I was super duper excited about the other products, this mascara was a spot on because i just finished my Maybelline Volume Express.Nice~

Above are the description on how i use this mascara.

Product:

The formula is rather wet so you need a little time to let it dry. Once dry, and when you curl it gently, it will stay curled the whole day. I swear. Look at the picture below. On top, shows the mascara when i just applied it. And below, shows you how the macara look like after 12 hours. Ignore the bottom lashes. That is just urgh!

My experiences:

Waiting time for the mascara to dry can be a pain in the neck sometimes, but it is all worthwhile. Like the previous mascaras I have used from MJ before, this new formula makes removing alot easier. All i had to use was an oil remover, dab it for a little longer so that the lashes absorbs the remover and then i wriggle the cotton upwards under my lashes and the mascara is off. Thank you MJ FOR LISTENING TO US!

Amazing formula, amazing wand, amazing lashes. Loves it!
