August Haul ... Part II :)

I'm sorry to keep you guys waiting! I've been busy this week and ever since my sister arrived here, I don't have much time to blog. Anyway, here's the part two of my haul for this August.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin

Ben Nye Final Make Up Seal

Lip Chic (Alconeco) - Lip Sealer

Tarte Bottoms Up Lower Lash Mascara

Cle De Peau Beaute Cream Foundation in B10

Shade Comparison Between B10 (Left) and O20 (Right)

B10 is more pinkish while O20 is more on the ocre yellow side.

NARS - Dolce Vita Lipstick

NARS Dolce Vita is my very first NARS Lipstick. I bought it over Sephora (when it was still open here in Hong Kong) for HKD 210. It is a brownish peach / nude lipstick. It's in the middle of all that I mentioned. It's perfect for my shade, since I am classified as having a fair-medium skin-tone. It is sheer, compare to the other NARS Lipstick that I have (Schiap).

I love using this because it can be used everyday, not that loud to be noticed by my mom.

I find it quite hard though to find a perfect blush for this (can you suggest me some, please?). I tried using peachy colored blush to go with this but it doesn't suit.

For the staying power of this, it stays on your lips for roughly 3-4 hours WITHOUT having any kind of liquids. I think that's pretty good for a lipstick.

And take note : It's very moisturizing, scent free and dry free.

August Haul ... PART I ( Part II Coming Soon! )

Okay, I have to say this, I'm sorry for the long delay, but I've been busy and all that these past few weeks. I haven't been blogging like before nowadays because I have a lot of things to do besides blogging.

I am currently doing some online studies for my career, so that's taking most of my time lately. Also, summer classes are up, and I got loads of classes lately. I've been working 5 days a week lately, meaning, only 2 days that I got to stay at home, if I don't go out on my holidays.

Also, I've been on a search for a new job for the incoming school year since last school year was over. But the search is over, I already found a new job. Yey! Anyway, enough talking! Here are my purchases for this month. It's quite a lot, but there are more to come because I asked my sister to buy me some more stuffs from USA this August. YES! She's coming back here in Hong Kong for her summer vacation and I asked her to buy stuffs for me that cannot be purchases here in Hong Kong. Anyway, here's my own purchases. PART 1!

H&M - Bronzing Brush

This is the crappiest, useless bronzer I've ever encountered. I got this on sale from H&M last winter season. Since I got two pieces of bronzers at that time, I decided to use the other one first, and this one later on. And so, I used up my favorite bronzer already and now, it's time to give this one a try and my first reaction the first time I swiped this onto my face?! How come I can't see any changes?! Maybe I should put more on... How come I can only see glitters?! Damn!

Well, first, the brush sucks. It's a very hard type of brush, I don't even know where H&M got these materials from. It irritates my skin and it's very hard to make the powder even to my skin. Second, this is more of a highlighter in "bronze" than a "bronzing powder." All I can see is glitters and no brownish reaction to my face whenever I put them on.

I'm very much disappointed with this product that this will go straight to the bin! OUCH!
