March Collective Haul

Happy mid week! :)
Exams are coming and have yet to start studying.
and i have been watching sephora hauls and Friends instead.
Friends is really very addictive and cant seem to concentrate on studying. 
I hope to compete my studying for one subject for this week.

Anyway this is my haul for last month and it's kinda small because i feel that I bought alot of things in February and went abit overboard so i kinda dialed down last month and did not spend the much cos i am saving too.

1) Milani rose blush in romantic rose - got it at carousell for $10 only
I heard it was a dupe for Tarte blush in exposed and it really looks like exactly the same.
and i cant buy tarte blush as my skin reacts to their products. (which im kinda bummed about, cos their packaging looks so pretty and i heard their products is so amazing)

2) Browhaus Liquid Eyeliner -  got it for free after renewing my contract with them.
Dont ever buy it. it's not really worth the money.

3) Sephora Lip Cream in Marverlous Mauve ($24)
I actually wasnt planning on buying this since i wanna see how much i can finish a lipstick if i used it everyday. but i got tired of lipstick transferring and moving around outside my lips that i gave up. and i was so lucky it was instock when i was looking around in Sephora so decided to buy it and have been using it almost everyday. It is a super good product and i am a converted liquid lipstick fan. I wont be buying any more normal lipstick. I really hate the transferring of it. I may just finish my lipstick collection but i wont be adding any more of it.

4) Bio oil ($16) - i had alot of scars after my overseas trip. I have bought this and it really works. most of my new scars are gone but i think it may take more time for the old scars to fade.

I bought more lush products.
I am thinking of doing lush products review since I have buying their stuff almost every month and have been using them religiously. I may do more in depth reviews from now on lush especially like their masks, hair treatments etc. But i dont think i will reviewing their soaps as i feel the only difference they have is their scent and it purely based on preference already.

The snow fairy in this photo was for show only and it is not available anymore. It is only available during the holiday season.

1) Bouncy Bunny Shower Jelly ($16) - recently i have been loving the shower jellies from lush. i think they are fun to use and some unique from soaps and shower gels and cremes.
This is a limited edition product, it is for their Easter collection

2) Brazened Honey Fresh Face Mask - this mask only last for 3-4 weeks and it's $28.50 very expensive for a mask. i will do more of a indepth review on it soon if it's worth it.

March Empties/Review




Hi everyone, 2016 is already going on so fast. we are already in the first quarter of the year. Have you made progress in your new year resolutions yet? for me,, im trying. haha
Anyway, here are the empties i have finished in the month of march. I am clearing a lot of my products and I think I am running out of masks. I feel like trying new ones but I cant seem to find or be interested on a hydrating mask. Are there any recommendations? I would really like to hear from you all. :D

 From left to right and clockwise:
1) Clarins Body Shape Cream 
it was purchased in a set and did not really have the intentions to purchase it. I dont think it made any changes to my body, dont see any firming or whatever. so i dont think i would be purchasing it full size.

2) Fresh Honey Mask 
This mask is so so good. Its like after using it, you will really see the results straightaway and i feel its not the kind of mask that the effect will be short term. it is a long term thing. I feel that my skin is softer and more radiant. I wanted to purchase the full size of this mask but i was looking at the price online, it is so expensive. :0 It's $200+ for 100ml. Since I am only a student and the amount of income i get working for my part time job does not justify this crazy expense. maybe when i have a full time job, most probably i will purchase it. but this is very good. i would recommend it to you guys.

3) Essence Brow Gel ($5.90)
I dont think this brow gel gives a tinted color to my brow but i really like using it to set my brows. it really last long and my brow looks like is on fleek whenever i used it. I have yet to purchased it again and will be purchasing it again. I think this is better than purchasing something expensive like the benefit brow me gel. $33 for a small tube?

4) Origins Ginzing Moisturizer in Sample size
I feel that for a small sample size, 5ml, this lasted me quite a long to finish. you really need a tiny amount for this masks. I think this sample size lasted me for 2 weeks and i really enjoy it alot as it is a gel based kind of moisturizer so it really sinks in to your skin easily. I would definitely repurchase the full size but right not i have alot of moisturizer to clear, sample and full size ones.

5) Lush Snowman Shower Jelly
I love shower jelly from lush. This is one from their christmas collection and truthfully speaking, it was so hard to use as it was in a snowman shape and it was so large that i cant really use it as a whole. So i have to break it and it was so sad like killing the snowman. ): i think the scent does not a refreshing scent neither a strong comfie scent. I remember it has blackcurrent oil on it. Dont think it was very moisturizing so i dont think i will repurchased it again.

6) First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream
At first i didnt like it because of the scent and its texture. I didnt use it for my face as the texture is so thick and eventhough they said it does not have any scent, it does and it is so smelly. I used as a lotion and it was so hard to apply but after sinking in to your skin, your skin feels like velvet. i dont know what is inside but my skin felt so smooth and silky. It is a good product but i dont think i would be repurchasing it as a body lotion. it is quite expensive for that and i feel that there are other brands that good and cheaper.

7) Kose Clarifying Essence
Yupp, 2nd bottle for the year. holy grail product, have yet to repurchased as im trying to use radiance pads to see if it works just as good.

8) Biore Make up Wipes
Very good product, i love it alot. It is better than other make ups wipes.

9) Body Shop Hand Cream in Cranberry
Nothing new, if you have realised. been clearing alot of hand cream every month. This is like part of me. :P. Dont think will repurchase this scent though. the scent is okay but i feel not that nice compare to other bodyshops. 

10) Urban Decay All nighter make up setting spray ($23)
I purchased the small up to test out whether it is good and it is really good. my make up last longer, like it can last the whole day comparing to last time. I remember last time my make up will be gone in 2 hours due to the humid weather here in Singapore. So yes, repurchased the big ones.
And this small bottle lasted me 3 months so i think the big one will last me quite a long time. :D

11) Rexon Deodorant sample size
It is good but dont think i will be repurchasing as i love my current one right now and i have alot of stock of it.

12) First Aid Beauty Radiance Pad
this was the travel size version of it. It has 28 inside so i have use it for 14 days. This was to replace my kose clarifying essence. I dont think i have seen a difference to my skin but since i have only use it for 2 weeks, i will purchase the bigger size and finish it so that maybe i will give a more comprehensive review.

13) Clarins HydraQuench Mask - 15ml
I really like this mask a lot and i feel that my skin is really moisturize and i think i will repurchase the full one if i could not find any other masks to try once all my other masks has been finished,

14) Vaseline instant fair lotion
I have been using 2 lotions back and forth, dont ask me why. so once the other one has finished, seen in the last empties, i have finished this one too in a span of a month.
I will be cutting the bottle in half so that i can still use what's remaining of it.

Well, here you go guys, hopefully you've enjoy this post. i will be posting my haul soon for the march and i think i will announcing a new content series in this blog soon. :D
