Calvin Klein Eyeshadows

Hello everybody!

This post is long overdue! I've been putting it off because I've been soo.. unmotivate to blog. Ha, as always. :(

Anyhow, I went to lunch with one of my good friends a few weeks back and we popped into Chemist Warehouse. For those of those who don't know what Chemist Warehouse is, it's a chemist that sells stuff for discounted price. Amongst those 'stuff' there are high end and lot end make up products depending on what they carry!

As I was strolling the aisles, I saw a huge board that said "Calvin Klein Makeup - 3 FOR $20!"
So... you can guess what happened next, me - raging the bins/table finding something awesome ;] hehe

I manage to pick out three eyeshadows! I quite liked what I picked and I'm glad I bought then because my friend was standing next to my ear literally telling me NOT to get it hahah >.<
Dangit!





The packaging is quite nice! I really like it. It's clear detailing on the edge is super sleek! The packaging is a little ont he bulkier side, but it's a must for a high end brand I guess. Assumingly CK is a high end fashion brand ^.^


I picked up Lavender Haze, Smokey Grey and Chameleon

Here are some swatches!




Chameleon is a beautiful frosty off cream colour. Great for highlight uses. It is a close match to nude/skin color! I'm loving this shade for under brow bone highlight!




Smokey Grey is a Khaki/grey colour. It has visible silver mini sparkle particles to it. However, once swatched/or applied on the eyes, the sparkle glitter isn't very visible anymore.




Lavender Haze, my favorite of the bunch! It's a beautiful purple and it reminds me of the sun setting down. Kind of puts me in a lazy mode also because the color looks so relaxing! It's definitely a cool lilac colour! Me loveeeeee!



They aren't very pigmented once it's blended out, but I like it that way. It makes it a lot more wearable during the day. Especially the city I live in, where people judge you even when you dress nice, it's hard to wear a face full of makeup and not have people point fingers at you and talking about the amount of colour you've got on your eyes!

Overall, I like the quality of these shadows. They feel very velvety and apply on really smoothly! Definitely a steal for 3 FOR $20!!

Target Bargain Haul!

Hello everybody!

It's been a while since my last haul post, so I thought I'd post about my recent makeup bargain findings!

The other day, (I think last Friday) I went shopping with one of my friends for a catch up session and we went into Target just.. for the sake of it I guess. On the way out, my friend (who is an expert at finding bargains lol) spotted a $3 & $5 table! She was like "OMG. WAIT!! CHECK THIS OUT" and started sabotaging the tables and tearing it apart hoping to see something she likes! haha
So of course, I also looked and funny enough, I ended up with my things than she did lol.

So here's what I got. I got all these for a whooping only $30 :P



I got:

3 Cover Girl TruShine Lipsticks (Which, BTW I LOVE, A LOT) ($5each)
1 Cover Girl Lipstain ($5)
3 Australis Eyeshadow Pens ($3each)
1 Australis Gel Liner ($3)

Now for some swatches..



Here are swatches of the Cover girl TruShine lipsticks, which I really really love. They are extremely hydrating. The feel like a water based lipbalm on the lips!!





They're the same lipstick, it's just the flash made them look different -_-"
This colour is called, Watermelon Shine. And let me tell you, it really does look like watermelon! It's a deep pink which is complemented by it's shine! It's soo beautiful!!





*Flash failed also, made the colour look completely different!
Anywho, this one is called, Petal Shine. It's a really beautiful nude with a shine! It's more of a ... warm skin nude. It looks really similar to my natural lip colour. I like it!





This one is called, Rosy Shine. It's a quite a nice, more mature colour. It has really micro sparkle particles in it. It's really beautiful under the light!

The next set of swatches are of the eyeshadow pens!




From left to right, swatched: Bohemian Chocolate, Deco & Avant-garde

I apologize that the swatched aren't the best. This was the best that my digi camera could take. I don't have my dSLR on me atm as my cousin keeps boring it from me -_-"
As you can see from the swatch, the shadows are kind of dry and bland. Nothing much to it. I guess it's worth the $3 bucks I spent though lol.

I didn't get swatches of the gel liner and the lipstain cause I got lazy x_x"
But here are product pictures!! :D




I'm wearing both products in the following pictures ^^



I used the lisptain as a blusher also LOL

But yeh, this is really it to my bargain finding! I am quite a happy chap! :P
