Gifts & Ginormous Collective Haul


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!

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!
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)
(This is what I'd hoped Guerlain Rue de Francs Bourgeois to be, but sadly, its texture leaves a lot to be desired :(  Even the super-luxe packaging was no consolation)
- Bare Escentuals Prime Time Foundation Primer
- Bare Escentuals High Shine Eye Colour in "Golden Khaki"
- Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate (deluxe sample)
- Make Up For Ever HD Foundation in #120
- Kameria Water Drop BB Cream
- Kiehls eye cream sample sachets

And she even filmed a video for me *touched*...TWICE...because she forgot to press the Record button the first time round :P

    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!!!

  13. Hey 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
  14. @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!
    GOsh! 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

  15. 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!
