Review: Catrice Infinite Shine Lip Gloss in 150 Pink Twice!

Shiny and flashy hot pink! For those in Singapore, the arrival of Catrice and Essence a few years ago was HUGE drugstore news! We've only ever had like maybe 2 drugstore brands that sold all their make up items for under $20! It's so great to have these two large brands with such range of colors and product types now in Singapore and both younger ladies and full blown adults are happily swatching and checking out their things without the fear of having to spend at least $20 on one item.

When I saw this glorious rich fuschia hot pink, I just knew I had to get it! It's the perfect blue toned full on bold pink!

Review: Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Flavored Gloss in So Jelly!

Glossy, shimmer and oh So Jelly! Like most girls one of my first ever make up type product was lipgloss and lipbalm. I've always liked glosses, the shimmery, super glossy and sweet smelling kind that turns a lot of ladies off when they get older. However in recently years I don't often wear glosses as it's the most annoying things when it's hot and humid and you're constantly sweating and the wind blows and your hair gets stuck in your gloss. I do have a soft spot in my heart for certain shades when it comes to lipglosses and recently while wondering through Victoria's Secret, looking for nothing in particular I saw this shade and HAD TO GET IT.

Review: Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Galaxy!

Galaxy Apocalips! Rimmel's line of Apocalips lip lacquers have been very popular the last two years especially since they released much later in the US under the name of 'Show Off' instead of Apocalips! Rimmel used to be sold in Singapore but the last two years it looks like Rimmel cosmetics are completely pulled out of our drugstores although you can find their nail polishes!

Similar to many products I have I purchased this through the most awesome Shopping-district.net which is a local singapore website selling drugstore products and more that are not found easily or not found at all in Singapore such as ELF, Covergirl, certain L'oreal/Maybelline products and more!

Review: Estee Lauder Travel Exclusive Pure Color Gloss Collection! (Duty Free)

Pure Color Gloss Collection! I've always been one who loves to buy, collective and give mini sized duty free products. Everytime I take a flight and have to pass through an airport that has a good cosmetic section at duty free I'll easily take half an hour to an hour and a half browsing, swatching and buying at least one or two items! 

Here we have a gorgeous set of mini sized lipglosses from Estee Lauder! For the last 6 months and still currently at duty free in south east asia. In the past I've bought a set of Dior lipglosses at duty free (see review here) and a Juicy tubes set from Lancome (see review here) so I just had to get this!

Rave Review: Brigitte Angelic Collection Romantic Prologue set!

Be Angelic and Romantic with Brigitte! Guys, seriously, for those of us ladies who can't resist a good bargain it's so damn hard to save when it comes to spending less on beauty items! I'll say that my collection is small for a beauty addict, all those ginormous ones on youtube where the girl has 4 ikea shelving units for just make up...no, mine is nothing like that! However when drugstore make up averages $15-25 USD here for single items like an eyeliner, foundation, eyeshadow palette a good deal can't be wasted!

Brigitte is a japanese brand that's super princess looking, something like Majolica Majorca but more refined and a bit more high end. I had seen that their eyeshadow palettes retail for $29 SGD at Watsons and their lipglosses at around $20 SGD. So when I saw this set selling at Sasa for $34 I just HAD TO GET IT. DON'T BLAME ME.

Review: Stila it gloss lip shimmer in 07 Amazing!

Are you an 'It' girl? I just loved the name of this gloss when I saw it! 'It gloss', I straight away think of the term 'it girl' which to me would be the all around perfect glamorous well to do lady who wears a good amount of make up day to day! Anyway...! This was a lovely gift in a swap I did with the lovely Pam from Jade in the Palace blog! Check the parcel she sent me in our swap here!

I've owned very few Stila products but my past experience with their lip glaze was not amazing as I was young, didn't know what to do with make up and wore a lot of things that didn't suit me!

Rave Review: NYX Butter Gloss in shades Vanilla Cream Pie, Cupcake & Raspberry Tart!

NYX Butter Glosses! They've been out forever and I'm so jealous of the ladies who have collected half of them or even ALL of them! NYX is finally being sold in Singapore but at Sephora and at travelling booths in malls. But I much rather avoid seeing all the other make up so I won't end up with more than I meant to buy!

I bought these from an online shop called 'Shopping district' which sells products from brands like NYX, Cover Girl, Wet n Wild and even Maybelline and L'oreal but basically products that can't be found locally in Singapore. At the time I bought these the newer shades had just become available on their site and it was so hard just to pick three to start with!

Rave Review: Etude House Dear My Crystal Gloss! (Sparkling Violet and Shimmering Rose Pink)

Dear My Crystal Gloss! Set your eyes on my newest, most favorite and 'Holy Grail' lipgloss! I came across this while browsing through Etude House last month. I was there to buy things for someone else but I ended up purchasing these two for myself because I loved the colors. 

They are full of micro shimmer and seemed so smooth and moist. On my arm, I loved the two shades and since they didn't seem sticky I felt confident getting both for my always dry lips. Not to mention that these are even cheaper than maybelline, l'oreal and revlon lip glosses here in Singapore! I have not regretted anything about these amazing glosses so far!

Rave Review: Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Flash 662!

Dior Addict? Haha! I'm definitely not a Dior Addict although I was sooo close to buying a travel palette in Bangkok's Duty Free section! This lip gloss was purchased with my mom some time back. All of my lip glosses from them are from at least 2 years ago but they are still good and working just fine!

Quick review: Majolica Majorca Honey Pump Gloss Neo in BE 248 (nude)!

Honey on the lips? That was what I first thought when I saw this at Watsons! It's from Majolica Majorca and seems to be a tiny little tube! 

However at 6.5 ml, it's the same amount as some of the larger packaged glosses from Dolly wink! It's just all the packaging!

Quick review: Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect in shade 537!

Brown shimmery lippie anyone? I've only had a few of these all thanks to my mom who picked them up on airplanes in sets. This is from their older packaging and line, however I find the color very suited for fall and the color palette being seen everywhere!

Review: Lancome la petite collection juicy tubes lip gloss! (limited edition/travel exclusive)

Do you like Lancome...Juicy Tubes!? This was a limited edition set of juicy tubes designed by lancome with collaboration with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama on the packaging. This set was to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Juicy Tube lip gloss by lancome!

This was my first time trying juicy tube lipglosses and there are pros and cons to this product. I've had this for a while now but only now got around to reviewing this. This set reminds me of the Dior lipgloss la collection which I (reviewed here!)

Quick look: Revlon Superlustrous lipgloss in Nude lustre! (comparison to other nude glosses)

Something I picked up last year but was dying to try after hearing a lot about how the consistency of this line from Revlon is apparently one of the best lipglosses drugstore wise by lots of beauty gurus online!

I picked up a nude shade of course, easy to wear and to layer! love the shade! I'm comparing it to an NYX and Majolica Majorca lipglosses also of a nude color.

Quick look: Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in 732! (swatches)

Here's one of the few Dior Addict lipglosses I have! I love them all! Marketed to be filled with hyaluronic acid to keep the lips hydrated and filled with reflective particles these are really one of the fancy lipglosses that live up to the hype.

Quick look: Revlon Colorburst Lipbutter in Brown Sugar! (swatches!)

It's official! I spotted Revlon colorburst lip butters just about two weeks ago at Watsons, Gaurdian and at Revlon stands in NTUC! I grabbed a copy of the advert pamphlet laying tucked away at the side!

The bad news is that we only have 8 shades out of 21! Boo hoo!!

I picked up 020 Brown sugar with a 20% off at Watsons so I paid about $12 SGD instead of the U.P. of $15.95!

Review: Clinique Full Potential Lips Plump & Shine mini duos (duty free only/ swatches!))

It's my last semester in highschool, yipeee! Can't wait to get out but I'm definitely going to be missing somethings!

This I picked up for the second time. I first bought this exact set in Korea 3 years ago and then again a year later in the duty free in Italy. It's only sold in duty free but I've seen a few sites carrying this.

They are mini versions of Clinique's full potential plump & shine glosses, they are so useful to have and come in very wearable shades!

Note: There's one duo missing from this photo directly below. I've got a photo of all five near the end of the post. (it was a duo that went missing, it was old and ready to be thrown out! )

Quick look: Majolica Majorca Rouge Majex lipgloss in BE706!

Just a quick look at a Rouge Majex lipgloss I got last year. I bought a pink toned brown nude shade, I'm quite sure it was BE 706...if not then BE 205!

Rave Review: Dior Lipgloss La Collection (Duty free exclusive)!

Hey all! Sorry I've had nothing very exciting recently! It's the middle of exam week at my school so it's mostly study and sleep I'm concerned with. I've been dying to post several things but just have let procrastination get in the way. So while the mood is still in full swing, here's a little something special only at Duty Free!

Just some background info, I've been an avid traveller until about last year but will be again after graduation! I was very into travel palettes and such and have a couple from Dior and Lancome (all are pretty darn amazing). This was called the ...

"Dior Lipgloss La Collection"

Picked it up at the Singapore Duty Free shop though when I came back for holiday once, it was about $S70  dollars Singapore but very worth it I have to say. Enough bantering! 

Although...I want to note that even though I don't celebrate christmas I am grateful for the sales, deals and discounts around this time of year!! Have been shopping and taking lots of photos so I need to pick up on blog posts!

Thank you for the few of you who follow or even just skimp through, it's nice to share things with people who have similar interest!

Review: The Body Shop lip & cheek stain and lovegloss (swatches, application!)

Sorry, I haven't had time or the energy to post recently! But anyways....

Here are a couple things I got back in june with a redemption with my member's stamp card! I've always liked the Body Shop glosses but the clear ones tended to smell really funky after a while. Having bought lovegloss 16 before i decided to go for that and two lipstains which aren't the best but work well for layering. Here are my thoughts and photos on the lovegloss and lipstain!

Continue below to see swatches and application!

The Body Shop Lipstain in 01 and Lovegloss in 16...

Haul/Reviews from Cherry Culture Spree: NYX products! (Photos, swatches!)

Several weeks back I participated in a CC or cherrry culture (website) spree through another blogger on blogspot. Her blog is called 'under-twenty20' and sells full sized authentic make up items that are not easily found in Singapore, most items are under $20 SGD (singapore dollars).

I think I have found a better site (faster/cheaper shipping) to order NYX to singapore! (although things look more expensive) Crushcosmetics.com

Ever since I began researching more types of drugstore make up brands besides those found here, I was very eager to try out NYX products. They are labelled as inexpensive, good quality and have a wide variety. Through a spree I got myself a bunch to things to try out and here they are! The items were also on offer with an additional 20% discount on top, so I saved a bomb!

Continue below for, swatches and short reviews!

Note: Please remember this takes time, energy and money to do, so please DO NOT use my photos/review as your own!

• 2 trio eyeshadow palettes
• 2 blush powders
• 2 loose powders
