Haul: June 2009

Just a quick glance to my previous month’s haul

The Happy Family

Took the pics too long after the items arrive,some are already used up

Clinique Skincare

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Milk to take off all my makeup at night.
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel, the best day moisturizer yet for me!
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion deluxe GWP size, basic night moisturizer that works for me
Clinique All About Eyes Rich. Not the best, but nice standby.
Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief, deluxe GWP size.
Clinique Turnaround Concentrate, deluxe GWP size.

Misc Skincare

Paula’s Choice Super Antioxidant Concentrate. I refuse to live without PC’s antioxidant serum.
L’Oreal UV Perfect SPF50/PA+++. Had to get it because it’s reformulated.
Shiseido Anessa Neosunscreen SPF50/PA+++. Got it just because I wanted to know how is the texture of an Anessa
MAC Cleanse Off Oil. Bought this because it’s cheaper than Shu Uemura. Regretted it

Pure Luxe: Correctors and Blushes

Pure Luxe Correctors in What Red (green), Perky Pink (pink), and Lavender. Best primers that I’ve used!
Pure Luxe Blushes in Giddy and Cheeky. Haven’t get the chance to test them.

BB Creams: L'egere White Multi and Lotree Tinted Base BB

Samples samples!

L’egere White Multi BB Cream. Can’t use this, wayyy to dark for me
Lotree Tinted BB SPF21. Forget the full name, haven’t test this though.

Powders Galore

Shu Uemura Velvet Perfect Adjusting Powdery Foundation Refill in 574. Incredibly flawless but too powdery.
Chanel Poudre Cristalline. Beautiful name
Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder in Translucent. It does live up to the hype!
Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder #1. Great  for dark circles!
Becca Fine Loose Finishing Powder in Eggshell. Great creamy lp. Must try for pale dry skin, IMHO!

Aube Couture

Aube Couture Designing Eyes #504 Pink. Pretty colors but tad too sheer and a bit chalky
Aube Couture Designing Cheek #401 and #404. Even worse. Not finely milled enough, chalky, a bit too sheer too

Got these Sofina samples with the purchase of Aube Couture though.

Sofina Samples

Hada.Ka, Sofina Beaute, and Alblanc. Haven’t tried any of them though.

Haul Haul Haul!

This is a combined haul. Some just arrived, some were from last month(s)

Feverlet HD Make-Up BB Cream

Yup it’s the Feverlet HD BB! Look at the pretty golden brown lacey box! Freshly received from Korea. I used EMS again, this time it takes 4 days to reach me. Not bad..

Feverlet HD Make-Up BB Cream

The box contain 2 tubes of Feverlet HD BB. A full size 50ml tube, and a mini 15ml travel size tube. I’ve agreed with my friend that I’ll take the mini one. Tried it today, and it’s seems great! It has SPF30/PA++ too. An improvement from the old Feverlet BB indeed. I’ll surely review it later

Aside from Feverlet, I also get some more BRTC items

BRTC Lot

On the first row: Ice Green Tea Fluid, Ice Green Tea Serum, Aqua Rush Serum, V-Shaping Ampoule, Perfect Calming Serum, Blemish Restore.

Second row: mini tubes of Whitening and Wrinkle BB Cream, Perfect Calming Cream.

Third row; the sachets: Perfect Protect 46, Gold Caviar BB Cream, Jasmin Water BB Cream, Perfect Recover BB Cream, Protect Multiplex BB Cream.

BRTC Skincare Products

There, my BRTC skincare products. I know some ladies in the forum are itching to hear my reviews. Patience babes, I’ve just tried the Green Tea items, and I think it’s only fair if we give some time for the skincare to work, before reviewing it

BRTC Jasmin Water BB Cream

Sure, I didn’t just get the sample packs, but the full tube too I was given a sample before and I loveeee this BB cream a lot! Even though I’m wary actually…it claims to have 5% Jasmine Water, ugh. Jasmine is an irritant But the finish it gives is lovely. D’oh! Why am I ranting after I get the item anyway?

Leave the non-sense alone. I didn’t just get BRTC you know. I warmly welcome Skin79 Diamond Collection too!

Skin79 Precious Diamond BB Cream SPF25/PA++ & Sun Balm Moist SPF50/PA+++

Ignore the blurry mess please I also *LOVE* this BB cream a lot, I’m tempted to buy the Skin79 mini set The texture is light fluid cream that is easy to blend, the color is light enough for me, it gives sheer-medium coverage, and stay bright even after 17 hours with minimum touch up!

And at first, I want to get the BRTC Sun Balm….but I spotted this Skin79 Diamond Sun Balm cheap. Around USD10 shipped? Plus LotusPalace said the texture is wonderful too. I didn’t regret it. The texture is divine, I tell you. It doesn’t feel like sunscreen at all! It’s like a primer balm. It feels siliconey, makes the skin feels ultra smooth without greasy feeling. Makeup glides on top *very* easily. I said before that I need primer to help my BB cream blends on top of non greasy sunscreen, with this, not anymore! Seems to help control oil too? Perfection.

In fact, I may use this as my primer. It’s that good! I’ll use it for longer time, and then full review sure to follow.

In the mean time…

Miscellaneous Lot

Here are non-korean items; MUFE Sculpting Kit #1, MUFE Aqua Eyes #2L, Shu Uemura LE Eyeshadow Palette (Fantasia? Forget the name), Paul & Joe Primer #1, Paul & Joe Protective Fluid Foundation, Clarins UV Plus SPF40/PA+++.

And the boring, yet totally essential items:

Paula's Choice Serum & Hydrating Mask

Despite all those BRTC lot, honestly, my main skincare will still be PC and Clinique or some Estee Lauder. My skin hate fragrances you know So I restocked my Paula’s Choice Skin Recovery Super Antioxidant Concentrate. There’s no way I’ll live without this And the Skin Recovery Hydrating Treatment Mask. Highly recommended for very dry skin. I use this as night cream, twice a week now. It used to be every night

That’s all! D’oh, I need to religiously add reviews. Seriously, the number of items keep on piling, yet my old items are not reviewed — yet.
