NARS Satin Lip Pencils Swatches & Review!

Posted on May 3, 2013 by elizabeauty

Hello! I’m sure from my IG you would have already known my not-so-recent haulage of these NARS lip satin pencils & let’s just get it out there, I LOVE THEM. I mean they are all I want to wear ever since they have joined my collection!

I went down with Mabel, Sophia & Sara to get these awesome babies & I decided to pick up 4 gorgeous colours!

As always, the classic NARS black packaging! If you are wondering where to find these, you can find them at the NARS counter at Tangs Beauty Hall for S$37 for 0.07oz or 2.2grams.

I love how the tips looks, so round & chubby looking (definitely doesn’t look like that now.lol). NARS come out with a good range of colour, but there were definitely alot more brights compared to neutrals! However there seem to be a neutral for EVERY skin tone, no joke! NARS did well, as always!

I love love how NARS always put the colour of the pencil at the ends of the pencil, it’s so much easier for you to know which colour you’re grabbing without having to open the caps!

The downside which everyone have already been talking about is that you have to sharpen these pencils, it’s not a biggie to me honestly. They feel sooo nice I could live with sharpening them! I figured it might be because they are soooo creamy that if they were to be in a retractable tube, they might melt easily. *don’t quote me on this please! Purely my own deduction!*

Swatches! You can see that all the colours are soooo pigmented & gorgeous! If you’re wondering why there is 1 extra swatch, I’ll explain later!

I know everyone was saying how Yu was like super gorgeous, must have etc but before I went to NARS telling my gf & Sara, I won’t be getting Yu! Haha, who knew one swatch & I was sold. I need it in my life! I am usually very scared of such colours because they tend to be more blue-tone & they look terrible on me IMO but Yu has such a nice-not-too-blue undertone! It is still bright, but I love bright lips!

Disclaimer : Please ignore the ‘spidery’ looking lashes, I was trying a different mascara & I hate it so please don’t remind me. Thankyouverymuch.

Luxembourg is probably my favourite bold colour! It’s very wearable (to me) since I do have pretty pigmented lips I do not really like nude shades! For me it’s the perfect kind of raspberry colour but it is very very bright & pigmented! You can also use it as a stain so that you don’t get the full ‘impact’ of the brightness!

Majella is also one of those colours I was eyeing even before it was launched! It is such a gorgeous red, which isn’t too warm or cool so it’s worn easily by most skin tones!

Palais royal is a very vampy dark shade (though in the picture it isn’t showing off as vampy!) I contemplated getting this or Hyde Park which is super gorgeous toooo! Bagged this home & I can say I don’t regret! It is alot darker than what I would usually wear, but it looks lovely as a stain & I don’t think it looks too bad on me (if I could say so myself.lol).

So, I picked up Het-loo a week after I got the rest. I was soooooo addicted to wearing these awesome lip pencils that I really did not want to use another lip product! I happen to be wearing a brighter lip colour & did not want to wear a bright lip colour, hence I decided I need a nude! I mean it should have occurred to me to get a nude amongst all the bright, but evidently I was soo drawn to the brights! I ended up picking Het-loo which I lOVE!!! It’s the perfect everyday nude, it doesn’t give me the dead look & would lovely if you have got tanner skin like me!

I know because all the other colours are so bright, this looks kinda blah. But trust me, this is a very nice nude for the days where you would like to play it down!

So that’s a round up of my NARS lip satins! They feel soooooo soft and creamy & definitely goes on like a dream! The darker colours do give abit of stain and they do hold up pretty well through out a meal.

I love them & I feel like everyone must try these, though it’s really hard to stop at 1! You have been warned!

Diorskin Nude Tan Paradise Duo 001 Pink Glow Haul & Swatches!

Posted on April 27, 2013 by elizabeauty

Hello hello!

I have been hauling way faster than I can blog, be prepared to see ALOT (I kid you not) of haul posts!

Today I got back & was like I NEED TO SHOW THIS TO YOU GUYS NOWWWW. So here I am

Mabel & I met for brunch at Wild Honey this morning (it’s becoming a routine!<3), we decided to pop by DFS to check out the Dior Summer 2013. I did not think I would be tempted by the paradise duo because you know it’s a bronzer + blusher. Also these bronzers + blusher duos are usually very light & usually don’t suit me. I thought I would be safe to swatch it, yeah so I thought.

I swatched it & was telling Mabel, okay I need this! It is really gorgeous, YOU need it too. xD So we popped by Tangs, asked the MA when it would be launched & she was so sweet because she sold it to me! It officially launches on the 1st of May.

Okayyyyy enough rambling, let’s get to the real deaaaaal!

As usual, all Dior products come with the little velvet pouches, the brush pouch is EXTREMELY cute! I love it! You actually just slip the brush out of the pouch there isn’t a flap to close it..

The packaging is sooo gorgeous, it feels heavy & luxe. However it is a fingerprint magnet! I love the design on the compact, it’s not the usual blue Dior compact yet at the same time it eludes Dior. <3

It was quite hard to photograph the compact without having that light being seen!

Dior Nude Tan Paradise Duo 001 Pink Glow! It is soooo gorgeous, I absolutely love how it looks!

The bronzer colours are pretty nice & nude on my skin but the blusher colours just makes it totally worth it. The name is very apt, nude it is really pretty nude & natural looking!

N is more of a bronzer, while D has some highlighting sheen! U & E are just 2 different shades of blusher to really help complement the bronzer. You can use them on it’s own since the pan is not very small, however I love the look when they are being swirled together! ~~It does mess the perfect product though, with the mixing of colours LOL!~~ The brush helps dust the products off and makes it perfect again!

It retails for $90 at any Dior counters, which is a pretty decent price since you are getting blusher + bronzer & also a kabuki brush!! Definitely get it if you are thinking about it because it is limited edition & I’m sure it will sell like hotcakes since it is a very wearble colour!

Have a good Sunday lovelies!

BeautyAsia 2013 Haul!

Posted on April 7, 2013 by elizabeauty

This is sooooo over-due, don’t judge :X But better late then never? LOL!

Basically BeautyAsia is a fair which mainly sells polishes, nail art stuff, lotion,scrub all that jazz for your nails & abit of makeup/skincare. Thanks Long for the invite, I really had an awesome time though before went for the fair with Mabel, I told her I was not going to get anything. haha I lied.

My haul! Woots, you can see there were alot of polishes & plus they were doing for awesome prices!

My first ever Zoya! I am OBSESSED with the pink, Lola. I’ve not tried the other 2 polishes yet though lol. They do look watery in the bottle but the formulation is great!

Grabbed this picture off my IG & it is sooo much more gorgeous & brighter in real life! <3 <3 I think I repainted it a few times, which is really rare seeing that I’ve got soo many polishes.

BeautyAsia 20136

Orly! My first too! I kinda got sucked into getting these. LOL! I am not exactly a nail topper girl to be honest so while these are absolutely gorgeous I’ve not used them yet! I will get to using them soon though! Now that I’ve seen them, I feel like I need them on my nails.lol!

Okay slightly boring but essential stuff! I love nail-tek & they were going for $7 which is relatively cheap! I love the ‘treatment’ which I’ve already used like 3/4 of my first bottle, I use it as a base & it dose help to strengthen my nails! The foundation is pretty interesting & it has a matte finish! Orly Bonder is supposed to help your polishes adhere for longer, but to be honest I haven’t seen much of a difference.

So thanks to Sara, who got me to grab for her a few Solone eyeliner (I’ve not heard of this brand prior) I told Mabel about it & she was telling me that they have an awesome eyeliner. So we started swatching & I left about $100+ poorer. LOL! Plus they had a 25% discount, so it was a really good deal!

Those $100+ were definitely well spend! The eye liners are really awesome! I will do a post on these cool liners soon! THey are really waterproof & smudge proof!

These pencils have to be sharpened though & because they are very soft, it is slightly hard to sharpen.

Swatches of the Solone eyeliners! <3

Tom Ford Slivered Topaz & Casablanca Haul + Swatches!

Posted on March 30, 2013 by elizabeauty

Ever since Tom Ford hit our shores, I have been trying to stay away but honestly it is really quite hard. Especially after the GF got me a palette for Christmas & mom got me a lippie for V’day!

Once again I fail to keep my hands off

The packaging is pretty luxe & I did not take much pictures of the packaging in this post, if you want to see the packaging do check it out in my ‘What I got for Christmas’ post!

This time I got more wearable colours, yay for awesome shadows + lippie for daily usage (not that I did not have any previously).LOL!

As usual TF has done it again with awesome pigmentation & smooth soft shadows!

Super wearable colours & taupe! I’m sold!

Swatches the gorgeous palette, as you can see it’s neutral colours but I really love it!!

Casablanca lippie! Not the most unique colour, but I love it!

I love mauve-y colours & it it my favourite go-to colour for my lips! Since I do have really red lips.

So I thought I’ll do some dupe comparison! Though I do love taupe, I don’t have alot of taupes! & the closet one I’ve got is probably NARS Lhasa!

I’m comparing it to the bottom left colour in the TF palette, they don’t look that similar in the pan but I think they look pretty close on the skin!

I personally think they look pretty similar, granted the TF is slightly darker but I don’t think it’s that noticeable when worn as eye shadow!

Thanks for reading girls! Have a good Saturday night & Sunday! Don’t we just love long weekends? I’ve got alot of upcoming post, need to start posting more consistently! *grin*

Burberry Spring’13 Haul + Swatches!

Posted on March 17, 2013 by elizabeauty

So when I saw the promo pictures & hauls made by the girls in the US, I knew I had to get this awesome duo! Most of the Burberry blushers are sooo sheer! Though I’ve always wanted one because they feel soooo soft and buttery!

Spring’13!

Hello gorgeous!

I loveeeee the packaging of their blusher! Soooo gorgeous & sleek!

Hydrangea blusher x Pink Sweet Pea gloss! <3 How gorgeous are the colours!

Pink Sweet Pea lipgloss, it retails for S$39 at Tangs, it’s super pretty it has a nice sheen to it too!

Swatches! I think it looks soooo gorgeous! It is also super pigmented & you can wear it on it’s own! It feels really nice too! HOWEVER it has an ‘old lady’ smell? I don’t know if it’s just me but I dislike the scent so badly! No idea why I did not take a whiff of it before buying it.

Hydrangea blusher, it retails for S$61 at Tangs. It is sooooo gorgeous!

Being a blusher fanatic, I was ecstatic to get my very first Burberry blusher. It is sooooo soft and definitely very pigmented! LOOK AT THE SWATCH! Super excited to wear it tomorrow!

I think these are limited edition (the cursed word.lol) so if you think you need these, you had better start running to the mall now!

Have a great week ahead my dears!

Urban Decay Oz The Great & Powerful Glinda & Theodora Palette Swatches!

Posted on March 2, 2013 by elizabeauty

I initially wanted to order them when I did some hauling with the other girls but decided to pass on it. Being the Wicked musical fan, I decided I should get at least one! Plus it is limited edition (the worst 2 words ever created.LOL). Hence, I was stoked when I read that the Oz palettes are hitting our shores & I went down to Sephora the day it launched!

I stood in Sephora for AGES, told my friends that the staff probably think I’m trying to rob the whole Sephora, walking up & down deciding which palette I should go home with. Finally I decided that as much as I am #teamglinda, I could not miss out on being #teamtheodora too! So of course I ended up walking home with both palettes. LOL. What’s a girl to do when UD is so smart in making me want both?! lol! The whole time I was thinking how great it would be if they had combined it into just 1 palette.LOL!

~~On the side not, why did UD call the palette Theodora?! The wicked witch of the west is called Elphaba! Isn’t she? HMMMM.~~ thanks subtleshimmer for clarifying hehe.

Okay enough blabber gibberish! On to what you’re really here for! THE PALETTES!!!!

How gorgeous are the palettes? Even the boxes are so gorgeous! I actually love how they don’t actually put the girl’s faces on the front, I think it looks sooo much better this way! So yay Urban Decay!

Let me know if you’re #teamglinda or #teamtheodora okay!

Theodora palette! I love how the back is sooooo gorgeous, with all the shadows ‘swatches’ + their names!

Glinda palette – I love how the lip colour is named after the characters, truly limited edition.LOL!

How gorgeous are the picture cards?!?!!! OMG I think it is one of the prettiest picture cum tutorial cards. I feel like I should frame these up, just because they are sooo gorgeous!

#teamGlinda!

This is the back of the Glinda picture card! I forgot to take the Theodora palette’s card but you get the idea So basically, they do use like almost ever shade. lol!

OKAY on to the palettes!!!!!

Glindaaaa, the colours are all very ‘sweet’, kinda subtle & slightly frosty-er than Theodora.

The whole Glinda set. Picture card x palette x eyeliner x lip colour!

Don’t mind the many pictures, they were too gorgeous to stop at 1

Swatches without a base They are super soft & buttery! I love love love the new UD eyeshadow formulation, they have improved soooo much! Magic is soooo gorgeous it has tiny gold shimmers too! Although Tornado looks & is super pigmented, you can sheer it out! I wore it the other day in my crease, sheerly & it was gorgeous!

#teamTheodora!

Alot more earthly, more matte shades tooo! The matte shades are soooooo buttery!

Theodora is honestly abit easier to wear because of the many neutral x matte shades! I like the fact that they added a nice red lip colour, just to spice things abit a tad bit too!

The shadows up close!

Swatches of Theodora. Soooo prettyyyyy! The greens are just gorgeous!

Both of the palettes are sooo pretty, you tell me, how to choose?! Just get both HAHA!

In case you did not already know, these shadows can be removed & slotted in interchangeably! All of the new Urban Decay are able to be remove from their pots! So you can travel with your favourite shadows! & honestly if you are thinking ‘Oh, it is so hard to remove.’ ‘I’m going to accidentally spoil my shadows.’ No worries, they are soooooo easy to remove from their casing, UD has really done a great job with their new palettes! Plus they clip in so you know that they are secured

Final picture of the two stars of the show! Thank you Urban Decay, this was awesome (probably more so because I watched the musical & read the books!). I love the pigmentation & the formulation! Oh they retail for S$78 at Sephora!

Both palettes are pretty, but if you’re looking for more neutrals, then I would say go with Theodora. Glinda is slightly more unique (to me) & has slightly more pastel ‘sweeter’ colours.

Hope this has helped you if you were contemplating which palette to get! Do share which you end up picking up!

What’s New In The Drugstore Haul!

Posted on February 5, 2013 by elizabeauty

Wooohooo! Last week I heard from GF that the new Revlon & L’orèal products were out in Watsons, being the beauty junkie I was I had to check it out! I went down to Watsons & instagrammed this picture! I did not pick out anything, that was all until….. I went with the GF & well the rest is history. LOL!

This post will just be a haul + swatches! I am planning to do a first impressive blogpost for these products!

Revlon ColourStay Ultimate Suede retails for $19.90 & L’orèal Lip Caresse retails for $18.90.

Drugstore Haul Feb 2012

My haul! I wanted to get another L’orèal stain but the one I wanted was sold out! I ended grabbing the Revlon lip butter because the colour was just way too gorgeous!

I realised I always gravitate to the same colours & it is soooo evident in this picture. LOL! Revlon addict? hehe. I am a mad Relvon addict, fav drugstore brand *hands down*.

First up, L’orèal Lip Caresse Lipstain! This is supposed to be a dupe for the YSL glossy stain, which I like but I hate the scent!

The applicator is similar to the YSL ones & well, L’orèal owns YSL so I’m really not that surprised. There is a little hole in the applicator so it helps pick up more product too!

L’orèal Lip Caresse in Eve. On the left I did a fresh swatch, the swatch on the right is the stain, i removed the product within 5seconds & BAM! stained! LOL.

Next up the Revlon ColourStay Ultimate Suede lippies! First up can I just whine a tad bit? I don’t know why but some Watsons stick one of the label on the lipstick itself & OMG it is IMPOSSIBLE to remove, I removed it for my lip butter & it’s mad sticky now! Some of the Watsons actually stick it OUTSIDE on the plastic which they wrap the product in!!! YESSS allllll Watsons should do that! I’m just sooo OCD about how my stuff look, & now I can’t remove it >.<

There were 6 colours out in Watsons & I grabbed 2, though I am still thinking about Sociallite! hehe!

Ultimate Suede x Lip Butter = <3

Don’t they look almost edible? LOL! So yummmmmmyyyyyy! I love how the ultimate suede clicks up, the sound & the way it clicks up, i like!

Lipbutter in Lollipop, UltimateSuede in Finale & IT Girl.

Lip butter in Lollipop!

Swatches of Lollipop, IT girl & Finale.

The lipbutter is just like ‘LOOK at me’ hehe. I cannot wait to wear it! I have a MASSIVE lipbutter collection (no joke), I have been buying & buying & buying. lol. I should do a swatch post of all the lip butters, I think I’ve got 7?! HAHA!

Last thing I grabbed which I grabbed the after day *yes I am kinda addicted to Watsons* LOL! Revlon ColourBurst Lip Gloss which I already own one previously & it has a pretty great formulation. Which reminds me I’ve not used it in ages!!

Swatches of Hot Pink Rose Vibrant & Strawberry Fraise. So prettyyyy, I can’t wait to wear it out & also do a test on their lasting power on the lips!

Look at the sparkle!!! <3 The tube actually really remind me of the Chanel Glossimers!

They come with a flat-ish doe-foot applicator, which is nice for application. Honestly I do prefer doe-foot compared to the brushes applicators!

Do stay tuned for a first impression blogpost of these products! Do share if you’ve been hauling anything cool in Watsons recently!

First Haul of 2013 from Chanel Spring 2013 Collection! <3

Posted on January 15, 2013 by elizabeauty

Woooots, first haul of 2013 & yes I had to hit the Chanel counter, especially after I’ve seen the promo pictures & swatches from other bloggers! If you read my blog for some time, you would know I usually don’t rant but rant alert!!!!

So I usually get my high end makeup from Tangs, since I am able to get rebates there (money saved = more to spend for makeup.lol!). As usual Gf & I headed down to the Chanel counter to check out the new collection after which we told the MA we will look around, popped by Dior & Laura Mercier then headed back to Chanel. I decided that I wanted to try the illuminating powder before buying it, I mean I kinda knew 90% I would get it, unless it looked terrible on my face then of course I won’t get it.

When we first got to the counter the MA refused to serve us which fine because maybe she wanted to just let us browse. Finally after waiting, I decided to go ahead & ask her if she could try it on me & this is where I got super annoyed. She took a blusher brush & said to me ‘You try it yourself, I have to serve my customer.‘ Like woah, so now because you think I might not buy, I am not entitled to be your customer? Also her ‘customer’ was just browsing & didn’t appear to be needing her help too! Besides, she could have asked me if I could wait or ask her ‘customer’ if she could be excused for awhile. The fact that I asked if you could try it on me means I might not know how to use the product. If I want someone to just shove a brush in my face then I don’t think Chanel needs to hire MAs, it’s just a waste of their money.

This is a Chanel counter, I don’t feel such lousy service is to be tolerated. I would think that Chanel would have a more stringent selection process, but it seems like any Tom, Dick, Harry will get hired there. We decided to leave the counter because I am just not going to purchase from someone who is so rude & tackless, especially so when it is a high end departmental store. I refuse to pay $100 & allow her to earn the commission (if they still do) and would rather go to somewhere else, where I might not be able to get the rebates but I get great service & I feel happy walking out.

*RANT OVER* On to the awesome stuff ^^

My first haul of 2013! Chanel has an awesome Spring 2013 collection! Initially I went in to take a look at Poudre Signêe de Chanel the illuminating powder but of course I didn’t leave with just that. lol.

The pouch is really pretty & it has a band around the pouch so you won’t accidentally drop it out of the velvet case.

I got ittttttt!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 Poudre Signêe de Chanel!

It has a pretty cool black plastic cover to protect your product, at the same time I was pretty paranoid that the plastic will scratch my product. LOL!

Poudre Signêe de Chanel comes with a super super adorable fat flat sponge thingy to apply the illuminating powder!

I’m warning you, I am going to be spamming some pictures of the illuminating because, wait do I even have to explain? It’s just soooooo GORGEOUS!

I wish I could buy 1 just to frame up & stare at it, yes I’m that obsessed. It feels SOOOOOO soft, the product is just sooo finely milled!

Le sigh, why are you so prettttyyyy!

Heavy & light swatch. It doesn’t leave you looking like a glitter ball because of how finely milled the product is!

Thought i might see if I can find any dupes in my collection! Swatched some of my favourite highlighting products & yes I think it’s different enough from the rest of my highlighting products to justify the purchase. Honestly I think I would even get it if it looked the same as anything I own, it’s so pretty just itself justifies the purchase! hehe!

I don’t know why I have never seen this in Chanel, HOW CAN I NOT HAVE!? It’s just a colour totally up my alley! It screams meeeeee & it is Chanel Tentation, which GF ended up getting too because I had her swatch it on her nails & she fell in love too. <3

Finally I grabbed Sweet Beige Glossimer!! This purchase is thanks to GF because she swatched it on me & it pushed me off the edge. I have been eye-ing it for awhile & finally got it!

So yes, my first haul of 2013 & I am pleased with myself if I may say so myself (: I also popped by The Body Shop to grab the LYCHEE gloss. Yes Lychee <3

What I Got For Christmas – Beauty Edition!

Posted on January 11, 2013 by elizabeauty

Hey girls!

So I know it’s January already (how fast right?) but I promised to do my what I got for Christmas, beauty edition! A little late but better late then never right? If you are the kind who don’t like haul or massive amount of new products mashed into a post, wait for my next post okay!

Quick overview of all the beauty products that I received from my awesome family & friends! They help feed my beauty obsession. Heh heh.

Woooooooots! I’ve actually not played around with all of them yet! Do let me know which products you would like to see a review of first okay!

Plus the awesome Inglot shadows momsie got me in JB! <3

*lovestruck eyes* hehe.

Okayyyyy, let’s get on with all the individual products, shall we?

Philosopyyyyy! I think since philosophy hit our shores, I have been all over the brand! I am almost done with my shower gel, I swear they last forever & they foam up like no other, probably because it also doubles up as a bubble bath or if I may say triple up since it is also a shampoo!

Suga plum fairy & snow angel are both scents released just for the holiday season, so I was so glad I got it for Christmas! As for Snow Angel I have been eyeing it since I got a whiff of it & omg, love love love it! I wish I managed to snag the body wash when it was available but oh wells, gotta wait till the end of this year.

Mac crushed pigments! Wooooooooots! This year I was so sure I would buy something from the Mac holiday collection, but I didn’t. So getting these crushed pigment sets made me soooooooo excited! I tried Mac crushed pigments for the first time in 2012 & I LOVE THEM! They are much better than the normal pigments, they actually do feel very creamy. I know it’s a tad baffling how pigments can feel creamy, I don’t know how they do it but it really is!

I’ve not played with them yet, so I’m really excited to bust them out of the box!

MAC Guilty Passions Brilliantly Cool Crushed Metallic Pigments! <3

What I got for Christmas Beauty Edition 201211-001

I realised that the darkest shade was only 1/2 full!? I wonder why

Love love love the colours & the pigmentation! Imagine it with a primer or used wet! Ooooh <3 I must say that this set is pretty unique, I’ve got a crush on you is a really pretty colour which looks different in different lighting hits it!

MAC Guilty Passions Sweetly Smoky Crushed Metallic Pigment Set!

I really love love love Dusty Desire! I can’t wait to use them! Pretttyyyyy! Femininity looks stunning & so unique in the pot!

The next thing is EXTREMELY EXCITING!!!!! My first ever TOM FORD PRODUCT! *SCREAAAAMS*

The bestest GF got me this! I wanted to YSL holiday palette so much, but by the time we wanted to grab it, it was already SOLD OUT! Hence we walked around Tangs, feeling dejected! GF said I should swatch this TF shadow, honestly I feel TF blushers are just okay so I wasn’t that excited about swatching the shadows BUTTTTTT I think TF shadows are actually pretty awesome

I was tossing to & fro between this & another colour – which I can’t even remember which one. LOL!

Behold, my first ever Tom Ford product! Wooohooo! Don’t mind the photo-bomb. Hehe.

They don’t emboss the TF on the shadows! It’s actually embossed on the plastic placed on top of the product.

The shadows are really luxurious & they look so pretty! I love love the 2nd & 3rd colour the most! The picture doesn’t do it justice at all!!! I wore it out & momsie was complimenting my eye look!

Oh another thing reallyyyyy cool! The palette is able to open up fully & lay flat down!

Okay! The last of the batch! Hope you’re still hanging on here with me!

Random brands thrown together, but I love them all.

I actually picked this up myself since i’ve been hearing so much raves about it, especially MissGlamorazzi! It is so so so prettyyy!!! When I went to pick it up, it was the LAST one! In fact the SA in Tangs told me that it’s all sold out! Refusing to believe I can’t find it, I went to Ion & managed to get it! YAY! BUT BUT BUT I dropped & it CHIPPED 2 days after I got it. >.<

My first ever YSL polish! Wooooots! It feels very watery when you look at it, but when applied it applies like a dream! First YSL polish and I’m definitely not going to stop at 1!

Picture from Instagram which I mention, the colour in real life is much much darker & deeper. Which honestly I am not a huge fan, but I’ll still use it & I still love it.

Narrrrrrs!

Nars Pure Matte in Carthage & Nars Lippie in CatFight!

Both of these are colours which I usually don’t gravitate towards! I have to wear CatFight slightly sheered out else I’ll look ghastly! Carthage looks like a really bright pink & it really is, but I love it! It is my first pure matte lippie & i LOVE it! It doesn’t even really feel drying at all!

Finally the last brand, Givenchy. Another first & I was pretty stoked!

First 2 products from Givenchy & I am eyeing the shadows too, I swatched them and it felt very luxurious & pigmented!

There are 4 different coloured powder, honestly I was attracted to the pastel coloured powder but but it was a tad to shimmery

I love the cover, & how the hole to dispense the powder are all ‘G’s.

The only time the sponge will look so gorgeous! It looks all messed up already.lol!

Swatch of Prisme Libre in #4.

I was so enticed by the gloss too! #makeupjunkie Plus I love love the packaging! When you first apply the gloss, the brush head is super hard, which is probably how you can tell that no one has used it before! By the end of the first application it becomes soft just like how any lipgloss brush would feel like!

It’s actually just a clear gloss but it has coppery coloured shimmers in it so it’s really gorgeous! I much prefer how it looks in the tube to be honest and if it applied as the rich colours it appears to be, that would be stunning!

Hope this long entry was somewhat interesting, just sharing the beauty stuff I got for Christmas & I am sooooo excited to get to play with these new beauties! Will be aiming to do more tutorials (yes, tutorials!) & reviews on elizabeauty in 2013! :D

Have an awesome weekend lovelies!

Inglot Freedom System Haul + Swatches!

Posted on January 7, 2013 by elizabeauty

This post is overdue! Just coz I had to retake all the swatches because the 1st set was just not acceptable to me at all! So afew weeks ago (like last year) I went to JB for Inglot a few weeks ago! Mom got them as Part I of my Christmas present!

& if you follow me on insta (elizabeauty), you would have already seen this picture! Sooo pretty, all the colours! I had a hard hard time deciding what to get!

This is not my first encounter with Inglot, I previously got their lip pot & gloss when I was living in Brissy! However at that time I was not into shadows at all! & now I’m just a tad too obsessed.

Our haul + some Christmas gifts for family too Heh!

The freedom system! Honestly I don’t know why I didn’t take pictures! I totally should have, it was actually quite cool! There were SO many shades of colours & they were all grouped into their respective colour family. You can just imagine how gorgeous it was! We were given a flat magnetic ‘tray’ where we place the shadows we wanted & they would get it for us!

They are all pretty reasonably priced, *i feel like slapping myself because I accidentally threw the receipt* but I think the shadows were about 30ishRM which is less than S$15 each & the empty palette was about that price too!

Okay one HUGE peeve is that they have the odd-est names for their shadows, they use numbers followed by the shadow finishing, i.e P for pearl, SHI for shine, R for Rainbow & I am not sure what DS is. lol!

This picture is gonna help me sooooo much in the long run, because the shadows are almost impossible to remove from the palette!

Like how everyone raves about Inglot, this is yet another rave review! Their shadows & sooooo buttery & soft to the touch!

Because I’m kinda OCD & did not like the idea of mixing my ‘normal’ & ‘rainbow shadows tog, I got this palette. LOL! But in the end I still ended up having a ‘normal’ shadow -.- which I plan on using as a highlight! All the rainbow shadows are matte & yes, you can fit your brush into each individual colour to use them
