Smoochiezz Picked Ups!




Hey guys!

For a while me and my friend Shar, her blog is theblackmentosbeautybox.blogspot.com if you want to check her out (she's awesome). Anyway yeah, for a while we had been talking about this website here in Singapore called Smoochiezz, and we planned to go and spend tons of money there when we had finished High School, however me and my mum went to Sembawang Shopping Centre and Smoochiez was there, so I had to buy some things because I haven't found these brands anywhere else in Singapore.

This is the website for the sprees and the shop if you are interested: http://smoochiezz.livejournal.com/


First to the nail polish:

Opi Rally Pretty Pink from the Serena Williams Glam Slam Duo (with the Red Shatter)







Dress Me Up (Hunger Games Collection), Marry A Millionaire (Eye Candy 3D Glitters Winter Collection 2011), Optical Illusion (Prismatics Collection), Liquid Crystal (Prismatics Collection)



Full Spectrum (Prismatic Chroma Glitters Collection)

 My first ever Orly polishes!! I have only ever seen top coats, treatments and base coats/ french manicures sets in Watsons, never any actual polish colours!





The first polish came with a tiny nail file, so cute!

Oui (Holiday Soiree Collection for 2011), Rock Candy (Not sure which collection!~) Rock Solid (Mineral FX Collection)
The last picture is Rock Solid. Isn't it amazing!?


On to NYX products!


Eyes:


Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk 604, I have wanted this for so long because I have heard such great things about it!


I got one eyeshadow palette which was the Mysterious Brown Eyes, even though I have blue eyes :P This palette really caught my eye.

Cheeks:



I have a problem with blushes, I am absolutely obsessed with them. I have also wanted this cream blush for so long and it is so nice to wear everyday. The consistency is quite wet compared to my MAC Cremeblend brush but I find it is still okay to work with.


I'm trying to branch out and try more orangey/corally makeup and this blush seemed perfect, I love the golden reflect of it!

Lips:


I am absolutely in love with this lipstick. It is so matte and the colour suits my skin tone well I think. I have been wearing soooo much since I got it and I kind of wish I had brought 2!



If you ever see this product, you need to go and smell it. No joke, it smells like cake batter. One thing that is kind of annoying is that the colour is quite different to that of the tube, it is actually quite darker but I still love the colour, texture and smell.

Elf:



This is the brightening blush in Coy and I wasn't going to pick this up because it looked kind of blah in the packaging. However my mum was urging me to so, how could I resist :P I'm really glad I did pick it up because it is so nice for a cheek highlight! It is rose goldy, with purple bits. It is a really nice, subtle highlight.

Brushes:

I picked up two brushes a coastal scents pointed brush and an angled crease blending brush. I have been enjoying using them.





Okay phew! I know, I know I went a bit crazy but I couldn't help myself!

Have you guys tried any of these products, if so tell me what you think about them in the comments below!

Also there will be upcoming swatches and reviews of the nail polishes and makeup products.

Thanks for reading,


Becky (:

Collective Haul

Hey everybody!


Here is a few things that I have picked up over the last couple of months, thanks for reading :)




I have wanted one these bags for ages, and even though I know that isn't a real one (I think it's from a French brand, I have no idea) but I still think it's great. Also, it's purple which is my favourite colour :)


I got these two candles from Daiso which is a japanese store where everything is SGD$2. I love this shop! They sell everything from stationary, false eyelashes to a kitchen mop haha. These candles are 3 oz a piece, and in the scents Fruit Cocktail and Vanilla Cupcake. I really like Fruit Cocktail because it is really sweet and fruity and great for summer and Vanilla Cupcake is really sweet and bakery scented. YUM!

To be honest I wasn't really expecting these candles to really scent my room because they cost $2 but I had them on the other side of my room to where I was and it smelt like I was sitting right next to the candle! I will definitely have to try more of these :)


I thought that I would try out the first two books in the Dexter series seeing as I absolutely love the TV show (especially the last series!) So the first book is Darkly Dreaming Dexter and the second Dearly Devoted Dexter by Jeff Lindsay. I love these covers, they definitely will look cool on the bookshelf  :)

L-R: MAC Blush in Well Dressed, MAC Cremeblend Blush in Something Special
L-R: Well Dressed, Something Special
 








Something Special is a coral-peach colour and has sparked my interests in cream blushes because it is such a nice consistency and easy to apply. Well Dressed is a light baby pink with a lot of silver shimmer. This blush is great for everyday and it easy to apply because it is so light and it won't be so noticeable if you overdo it (unlike Something Special). It also makes for easy application because I can use it as a highlight because it leaves a nice sheen on the cheeks. Both Cremeblend and Powder blushes retail for SGD$35 (totally worth it!)


New Look 3D Butterfly 6PK

Originally SGD$13.90 - 10% discount from membership card: $12.51


New Look 3PK Enamel Flower Heart Earrings
Originally SGD$13.90 discounted down to $9.90 - 5% discount from membership card: $9.40

Sometimes I find shops really frustrating. When I originally picked up this set of earrings it didn't have the discount sticker on and it wasn't even in the discount section. When I went to pay for the earrings there was a sale section so I thought I would just look at what was on sale, and right there smack dab in the center is a whole bunch of these earrings on sale for $9.90! I would have paid an extra $4 (I know that's not a lot, but it's still $4 right!?) So I swapped them over and got the set on sale haha.


the little things she needs TSN-JEMXOOO7

the little things she needs is becoming one of my favourite stores. I don't know what other countries have this store, but it is a relatively new store here in Singapore. These earrings cost only $7.90 and since they have a pearl and they are purple, what else could I ask for!


Forever 21 Burnished Silver/Clear

I have been looking for angel wing earrings for so long after I saw that michele1218 from youtube had started her own etsy store and was selling her angel wing necklaces and they look so amazing. I got these from the Forever 21 that has just open in Orchard Xchange for $6, you really can't beat Forever 21 pricing.


Forever 21 Multi Pack (12 pairs)
Guess how much these where?...........$9! They are so pretty and I love them, total bargain :)

MAC Surf Baby Lacquer in Hangin' Loose
3 thin coats, no top coat


MAC Surf Baby Lacquer in Ocean Dip
3 coats, no top coat


Revlon Minted
3 thin coats, no top coat




The Face Shop Lacquer in PK109
Great summer polish!


Winmax Brand (from $2 shop)










GAH! I still don't know if I like this polish, it's super thick  making it difficult to apply.

What have you brought recently?

See you next time!
