How's your Saturday going? I woke up after 12 today coz I slept at 4 am in the morning obsessing over some things. Nah, not that. The man was long gone hehe....
Let's talk freebies first!
Instyle: 4.0ml Benefit Benetint. Now this is a sample! This should last me a long long time. Also available to 'collect' are Cha Cha Tint & Sun Beam . (Posted last month's freebies here)
Marie Claire: 30ml L'Occitane Rose Petals Hand Cream (4 types to choose from!) & 50ml Dove Colour Radiance Express Treatment Conditioner. The conditioner smells incredible! Divine! And that hand cream is my very first L'Occitane product...love the not-so-sickening rose scent.
Yup, I almost fainted seeing the Marie Claire freebies.
Vaseline Pink Bubbly Lip Therapy: You know I adore them & you also have a chance to WIN one here. Yes, I have one extra.....hmm.....we'll see! ;)
Carmex Lip Balm: This is the stuff, people! After a few visits to my dentist, my lips were all cracked, the corners split. Eating spicy foods was a torture! Only- I repeat, only- this healed my lips completely...overnight.
Dirty Works Blemish Buster 2-in-1 Scrub + Mask: OMG this makes my skin feel really clean & smooth like porcelain (well, kinda =)). It has Kaolin, which is great for acne-prone skin. It lathers too when mixed with water, which I think is awesome coz you can wash it off so easily. Dirty works, baby!
Sleek Flamingo Blush: Oh-so-pretty! THE pink blush to own, especially if you have a deeper skin tone.
*I put the MAC Lipstick in there only for size comparison.
Eye Shadows- I'm wearing these 2 eyeshadows a lot recently:
Inglot 342- This is so versatile. I use it to contour and for my brows too. Swatch here
Inglot 30- I love using this to highlight the inner corners/tear ducts. It looks so gorgeous! Swatches here
Maybelline Master Precise Ink Pen Eyeliner ~ It has an ultra thin 0.4mm tip. Almost the same as Maybelline Hyper Sharp Liner I used to love & showed here. I'm so glad I found a replacement.
♥ Jane Norman ♥
I LOVE Jane Norman....and Norman! Who's Norman, you ask? My cute granddaddy! His name (is) was Norman. [Scott. Norman Scott] Extra reason why I love this brand so much. Since I came to Newcastle, I have purchased about 5 items from the brand. My absolute favorite is this dress...oh my bows, this dress! I saw it was on Sale in the website the same evening I'd just got the MAC Marilyn Monroe Collection. It's a steal, and I had to grab it! Especially since I see UK 6 sizes sell out very fast. It didn't stay in the website (or any site that carries Jane Norman) for long. Oh, thank goodness! Price:£45£15 (Rs.1273) + £3 something for delivery (It wasn't available in stores)

It looks better in real life. I have to look at it when I wake up & before I go to bed at night every.single.day.
That's all for now peeps. Now going to have lunch, then do a quick eye make-up tutorial.... then hopefully find a good horror movie to watch later. Dying to watch Sinister & The House At The End Of The Street! Recently watched The Possession at a theater...very nice.
What are you loving these days?

'Yes, I have one extra.....hmm.....we'll see!' *Epic sense of humor* I am currently winning though :P You should know it created major ex-related drama :P Also Im pretty sure I'll loose the lead so lustily gawking at the extra *wink* Über jealous of the freebies >_<

I bought the Maybelline Master Precise Ink Pen Eyeliner recently . . . am so in love with it. Such a easy task to wear eyeliner now.
ReplyDeleteI know right..so easy! they should all make them this way

I had one of those Benetint minis and it literally lasted me for over a year, with relatively regular usage. It's such a great and handy little product! And I LOVE those tinned Vaselines, that must be a very British thing because I don't recall ever seeing them in the US. And that Sleek blush is beautiful - I hear they're great, especially for the price!
ReplyDeleteA year?! Wow, gives me hope haha! Yes, I think they are available in UK only.
DeleteThe blush is super smooth & ya, affordable.

hi! I'm in Singapore and I order sleek off their website (a couple of times already) - they have a flat international shipping rate; I usually combine orders with my friends (but no more of 4 pieces per colour - so max 4 blush in Flamingo, max 4 blush in Rose Gold, etc). The Rose gold blush is amazing; so is the Bad Girl Eyeshadow palette .. and the Sunset eyeshadow palette :)
DeleteHi Kas, I have ordered from Sleek before, and the shipping cost was quite high. Great idea to combine orders with yr friends! :)
Delete♥xx♥
awesome stuff :) esp the freebies :P
ReplyDeleten the dress is really pretty :)
Glad u liked Poorva :D

Great stuff you got there. Love Vaseline's Pink Bubbly as well. You need to check out the MeMeMe counter at Superdrug for some amazing products lovely :)
ReplyDeleteI did already Shifs! :D Got 2 blushes :P

The dress is "oh so pretty"! Now I badly want/need the Dirty Works mask :( Btw I know a homemade facepack which gives instant porcelain skin but me being lazy bones made it just once or twice.
ReplyDeleteOoh...what is it. TELL ME! :D
Delete♥xx♥
Its very simple, so simple that you tend to get sceptical. So the recipe is : Crush a few rose petals and make a fine paste with milk powder and apply on your face. Thats it.
DeleteOok...sounds delish! Might try it once....when I get my hands on the petals :D Thanks!
Delete♥xx♥
The dress is really pretty. Looking forward to seeing ur LOTD with this.
