Welcome to the family!

Hello everyone! :)

This post is most of just outlining some of the recent products I've gotten since my last haul. Of course I've gotten more but I only included the stuff I though was necessary to show you guys ^^

I hope you guys enjoy :D

Here's the family shot :D Sooo pretty! Hehehe



Starting off with the Inglot stuff, I got the pre-made eyeshadow palette which is $25. A VERY good deal of 8 very pigmented, good quality eyeshadows! I also got 5 lip glosses. They were on sale so they were $7 each. Inglot lip glosses normally retail for $20 each :)



Swatches of the glosses.



The glosses are very nice. They aren't SUPER pigmented, which is a good thing to me as.. Well they are glosses, not lipstick. So to me, they don't need to have a very pigmented payoff. A lot of the glosses are glitter base, however, the glitters aren't big and chuncky. So that means theres no gritty-ness on the lips! Which is awsome! I love these glosses! They last SO SO SO soooo long!

Now for the shadows! They are SO pigmented. To be honest, I may even like the quality of the shadows better than MAC shadows. They are a lot more soft and easier to blend!



and for the swatches!



Super pretty and pigmented! And these swatches were swatched ONCE. See how pigmented they are?! LOL

Okay, next are my NARS products! I love NARS, but because it's so freaking expensive over here, and also because I don't have ANY NARS counter in my state, it's hard to get my hands on it. But after watching Rae, a friend of mine and also a beauty youtube guru use it, and she told me how much she loved it, I KNEW I had to get it! It was so so worth my $70. And yes, I paid $70 for the multiple! EXPENSIVE RIGHT?! I cried. But whatever. I REALLY love the multiple! It was worth every penny I spent. I honestly would spend another $70 just to back-up on it, but I can't find it on eBay anymore T_T" Sighs. Anyway, lol got a little off-track. Along with the Cadaques multiple, I also got the famous Turkish Delight lip gloss :)

Here's a family photo :D





It's a really pretty baby pink :)

Okay, my other VERY exciting product that I got my hands on are the Tom Ford Lipsticks! Those of you who don't know Tom Ford, it's ok. I never knew anything about him untill I found out about these lipsticks... But pretty much what you need to know is that he is a very highly regarded fashion designer :D

Anyway, Rae (again, I swear I make it seem like I'm obsessed with her or something LOL. I'm not. I'm very good friends with her ^___^) RAVED, AND RAVE, AND RAVED about these lipsticks that I REALLLYY wanted to get it. She was nice enough to do some order-taking on her blog for her international viewers so I took advantage of it and ordered myself TWO of the lipsticks. Rae is no longer taking orders, however fear not as the Tom Ford lipsticks are now in stores at David Jones :D (I actually went out to get another lipstick, but I will blog about that in my next post :D). These lipsticks are probably.. THE most expensive lipsticks I've purchased in my life. Retailing at $65 for ONE. But it's so worth it. The texture and packaging! (I'm like.. a packaging WHORE lol!) is just so so so SLEEK! It screams high class and I LOVE it! Here are some pictures and swatches!

Here's how the lipstick looks on the outside, the inside... Everything!!



I got mine in Pink Dusk & Blush Nude :)



Here's a pictures of my bare lips, just so you guys can use it as a reference ^^



Pink Dusk:



The colour is a very beautiful warm pink, with slight nude undertones. It's a very beautiful colour!

Blush Nude:



It's a creamy, beige-y, pink-y nude. Very pretty and compliments my skin tone very well!

Okay, now going onto a haul that is porbably the biggest one I got from the same brand, Missha.

Hopefully you guys are familliar with Missha, but if not, here's what I know. Missha is a Korean Domestic brand. It is a 'drugstore' brand, and the prices for the products are very cheap. Yeah very crappy explaining but yah lol.

Here's what I got from Missha

First off, I got some lipsticks from them! I love their lipsticks. The quality is smooth and nice. And cheap. ^_^ The colours are also VERY pretty.



Starting off with the Lucid Tints, here are swatches on my lips :)

Because they are tints, they apply very sheer. Enough to just give you a flush of colours on your lips! It's very pretty! I love the shiny, slippery texture. It is very moisturising on my lips. Because the texture is very sheer and light, it doesn't make my lips feel like it's been dehydrated for a week or so like some lipsticks do because they are so creamy.

Starting off with OR01:



It is a lovely orange-y, coral-y colour. I'm not a coral lip or cheek person, but this lippie looks very nice on me. It doesn't make me look.. what I call "weird". Haha

Swatches of PK01:



PK01 gives a very nice sheen of pink to your lips. Very pretty and girly. It kinds of just emphasize the colours of your lips and brings out a nice glow of pink to your lips.

PK02:



PK02 and PK01 is VERY similar in the stick and when swatched on the hand. However when it's on the lips, PK02 is darker.

Now for the Luminous Colour Lip Rouge swatches.

CR309:



Once again, it's a corally orange. Very nice on the lips, and quite bright. Still deciding of it looks nice on me or not haha.

PK107:



A very cool pink shade. Has a blue undertone. It's very bright, kind of like a bubble gum pink.

And the last item I got from Missha is the BB Boomer. It's very similar to MAC's Strobe cream. It has a pink sheen to it. Apparently it's a good BB cream primer.. Mmm.. I'll have to see. So far all the BB creams I've tried has failed on me. Miserably! -_-



And that's it to this post!

Untill next time ^_^

Love,
Cathy. xoxo
