Small Makeup Haul

Okay so many small isn't the best way to describe it but I've been on a makeup spending spree lately. And what I'm about to write about are only the products I have taken pictures of, meaning it does not include my most recent purchases (Which are from Shu Uemura).

Also a small lens review after as well because I don't want to make multiple posts. The lenses I will be talking about are monthly lenses so I have already thrown them out. I don't have many photos but I did buy another two pairs (Albeit a different colour) so I will be take note to photograph some of that instead.


I got hardwood flooring in the house now and it makes a pretty good backdrop!

 Haul: Illamasqua, NARS, Anatastasia, YSL, Face Shop

To start off, Illamasqua is closing its doors in Canada. Cue the sobbing because it really is a shame. However, I do understand there is not much of a market for them here (Sephora also stopped carrying Illamasqua last year). The few Illamasqua counters left at Hudson's Bay ended up having a 40% off sale to clear out their products, so here's what I picked up:

Lipstick - Scandal, Apocalypse

Nail Varnish - Hemlock, Collide

Skin Base foundation - 6.5

Cream Pigment - Delirious

Eyeshadow - Forgiveness, Imagine, Creep

 Eyeshadows L to R: Delirious (Cream), Forgiveness, Imagine, Creep

Random lip product purchase from The Face Shop and YSL. The Face Shop one is like the YSL Glossy Stain and it's a nice pink colour. The YSL one is from their matte lipstick collection for this fall.

Anastasia Brow Wiz and Brow Gel for my blonde hair. I got these because of the double points promotion Sephora was having. I think I have enough to redeem the 500 point reward now.

The Illamasqua lipsticks here! Scandal on the left, Apocalpyse on the right.

The new NARS Audacious Lipstick collection! I'm super in love with them and I've tried pretty much most of the collection by now. I picked up these two before the testers were even out. Liz on the left, Lana on the right.

More NARS stuff. Orgasm Lip Gloss, Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base, Multi-Action Hydrating Toner.

Not pictured are products from Shu Uemura, mainly the Calligraphink Eyeliner Pen, Brow Ink, and A/I Cleansing Oil, and Lightscapade Mineralize Skinfinish from MAC. The eyeliner pen is the best thing that has ever happened to me by the way. Perhaps if I'm not too lazy I'll do a post on them later (But I'll probably do a small makeup look post featuring them so you'll be able to see them anyways).

Next post will probably be a lens review ;) I tried out the Revocon monthly lenses and been loving them. More on that later!

New goodies (AKA haul)

Whoop! A haul post! I'll keep it nice and simple!


My red lenses finally arrived from Pinky Paradise! I ordered a pair of Vassen Dolly Plus Red lenses. I believe they're also known as the I.Fairy series? (Correct me if I'm wrong!)

Bottle-view

I ordered these for my Rei Ayanami cosplay (School uniform, not advanced enough yet to make the plugsuit OTL). I've also been wanting a pair of red lenses and from pictures, these seemed the best! They look absolutely stunning on! I'll make a separate post reviewing these when I get the time to wear them out properly haha!

Here's a not-so-good quality photo of them worn. I was just trying them on with makeup that day.

Red doesn't show up well in this lighting though :(

Next up, I bought two makeup items today ☆

A new liquid eyeliner pen! I already have my beloved Missha one (Which I still love to death) but this one isn't black. It's a wine coloured eyeliner pen! Super super fine brush tip makes it a dream to work with! How it wears, I'll find out in the following days when I wear it out!

Product name: CANDY★SHOP Professional Pen Eyeliner in #3 Wine

I also bought a new eyeshadow today. It was on sale for $2? $3? It's a slightly frosty rose/pink with a hint of maroon. I'm hoping to use it in some harajuku/cult party kei inspired makeup looks (*´・ｖ・)

Product name: Beauty Credit Lovely Eye Color - Dazzling Purple

Colour is a tad darker, must be the frost particles reflecting!

Here's a quick swatch of both products:

EXTRA: I haven't painted my nails in a while (´∇ﾉ｀*)ノ

Essie First base base coat

ORLY Liquid Vinyl

Essie Stroke of Brilliance (Luxeffect polish)

Seche Vite Dry fast top coat

Finally, a post! Haul: Holika Holika, Real Technique, China Glaze, Circle Lenses

So I've made a couple posts here before but coming back to it a couple months later, I decided I wasn't satisfied with them. Therefore, I have decided to start anew and in the time I have spent neglecting this blog, I think I finally decided what this blog will be about.

Okay, kind of not really, but I generally will be talking about beauty (Yes, I will be an addition to the 19234820+ beauty blogs out there), music and interesting bits of my life. By interesting bits, I'm not talking daily life blog, but things like conventions, special events, interesting finds, good food and maybe some lolwut posts.


Finally, here is the first post to the blog! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧彡

To start off, I have a haul here and some small reviews on the haul items. I recently went to Pacific Mall to pick up contacts for myself and a friend and while I was there, I picked up some things from Holika Holika and Phoenix Beauty Lounge. I returned to Pmall today to grab a two more things, a China Glaze polish and a new pair of shoes!

Onto the items!
