Hollaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...*echoing away*
Anybody still reading my blog posts?!?!
So I've been MIA for the past 3-4 months. However, I have a very valid reason: "WORK".
The line of work I'm in goes into a MASSIVE overdrive annually during the final quarter (October-ish -> January-ish), not to mention ad-hoc projects from time to time :(
And after a whole day of slaving away...erm...I mean...working...at the office, the last thing I need is to crank up the home lappie to edit YouTube videos and Blog.
My apologies, but really, WORK = $$$ = HAULS...So, unless I win the lottery... ^_^
Some Gifts & A Ginormous Collective Haul Ahead...
- Because When I'm Under Pressure, I Shop, A Lot!
- So Be Warned, Judgmental Peeps!
- Just bear in mind that the whole shebang (and some minor items which I can't seem to recall :P) spans over a 3-4 month period...
- This is a TONNE of stuff; thus I'll be doing my usual "Reviews"/"Short Reviews" in BATCHES, ok? :)
- Stay TUNED!
- Stay TUNED!
Anyway, I have a strong feeling that I won't be hauling all THAT much this year ^_~ because 2011's focus will be on....
..."Bases"...
&
..."Skincare"...- Hey! I'm 35! I need to amp it up yo!
X'Mas & Birthday Gifts from FuzKittie:
Yes, I turned 35 the week before last...
Damn! I can't even "lie" and say I'm in my early 30s now because I'm officially over that threshhold!
Damn! I can't even "lie" and say I'm in my early 30s now because I'm officially over that threshhold!
However, much comfort came in the form of a Gift package from the Fooz with some items I've been lemming for ages... ^_^
- Estee Lauder Pure Color Five Color EyeShadow Palette in "Extravagant Gold" <3 (Holiday 2010)

- Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate (deluxe sample)
- Make Up For Ever HD Foundation in #120

That's certainly a haul! :D
ReplyDelete@EeVon What can I say? If I can't make my pics pretty with pearls and such, the least I could do is to make them organised? ;) That's so lame LOL
ReplyDeleteI got the LM set in November I believe...The Bangsar Village LM counter...I believe they're not available anymore :(
Will get back to ou on the primers & MUFE HD! :D

@amynaree Oh yeshhh...I won't be hauling point makeup for a long while...*but watch me break my word :P*
@sugar sugar LOL Lotsa stuffies to play with! And thank you for your birthday wish :)
ReplyDelete@jess Oh yes! Thanks to Fuzzie! :D
I love the Diors, but they're actually shimmery *gasps* The Estee Lauder is more of a sheen which I kinda prefer ;) Oh! I really like SugarBomb!!!
@Steph Thank YOU, Steph, for your birthday wish! And yes, I have enough stuff to tide me over for months... :) I guess if I have to say ONE good thinng abt having oily skin...It'll be developing crows feet a lil later ;)
ReplyDelete@Connie Indeed it is! Hope you like the Mineralised!

ReplyDeletehope you had the happiest birthday! UM... def don't look a day over 30. or 25. you look so beautiful and young!
xooxo
happy belated birthday!!!!!yes so true! but this haul also can last you for the year! haha
ReplyDeleteHey Suelynn, what do you think of Jill Stuart eyeshadow quads? I have never tried it and thinking to buy it but since it's pretty pricey I want to know if it worth the $$. How is the pigmentation and shimmery texture all those things you think? Thank you!
ReplyDelete@Jessica Awww...You just made my day...Age is just a number, rite? And If I stay as bubbly as you are, mayhap I'll be able to delay the aging process! LOL Thanks so much for dropping by!
ReplyDeleteGOsh! You have so many blogs...Methings I'll add the Review one to the blogroll? Or would you prefer another? :)
@Evie LOL yeaaahhh I know...In fact I haven't bought anything none-base related for weeks :P And thanks you for your birthday wish *hugs*
@Anon Well, my shimmer tolerance is rather low, so JS quads are just too OTT for me. Coz I usually use eyemakeup only for work, so JS quads are not exactly worth the $$$ for ME. Love their Mix Compact blushes tho <3
These are amazing hauls ^_^! And I would've never guess you're over 30 omg I thought you were 26-27 or something ^^ And Happy (very very late) birthday! I heard the OPI Burlesque collection is really pretty so I hope you like them!
