Life is good. More cosmetics/perfume

WIN!

Saturday:
You heard my complaints about not obtaining Lancome's Juicy Tubes lip gloss when I bought my set on Friday .. but guess what ;) Yes thats right. I have a little one thanks to my aunty. The same day, I received a lovely appreciation present of Calvin Klein perfume (CKIN2U 100ml). It was really sweet and unexpected. Thank you Tita C.

My, what a great week of cosmetics.

My cosmetic purchases in the last two days.





Wednesday:

  • Anna Sui Dolly Girl Eau de Toilette
  • Anna Sui Dolly Girl Lil' Starlet Eau de Toilette
  • NP (Napoleon Perdis) Set lip gloss and nail polish (admittingly it came as a Cleo freebie, however I only bought it to sample the freebies I swear)
The nail polish is pretty good but it is better used as a topcoat as there isn't enough pigment for it to work as a solid colour. Lip gloss is pretty so-so, not actually sure if its a real colour from the actual NP Set range (Acapulco Pink, what kind of shade is that?)

Today:

Lancome sample set including
  • Colour Design Quad Eyeshadow
  • Colour Design Lipstick in Vantage Rose
  • Cils Booster XL mascara base
  • Definicils mascara
  • High Resolution Anti Wrinkle Cream (which I won't be using)
  • Primordiale Cell Defense serum.
To my dismay the set did not come with Juicy Tubes lipgloss. Looking at the ingredients, I was quite disappointed to see talc in almost every single Lancome product in the pack, including the skincare cream/serum.

Last week I also purchased some Natio products, including
  • Natural Cover Concealer
  • Ultra Shiny Fruit Gloss - Melon
  • Natio Sparkle Dust (loose eyeshadow quad)
  • Make up brush set in a roll, including brushes for powder, foundation, concealer, two eyeshadow brushes and one slanted eyeliner/eyeshadow brush
I was quite disappointed with the way Natio had advertised their "mineral" makeup range. Some of the advertised 'mineral' products in fact contain Talc (which we all know is toxic and bad for us, although it happens to exist in almost every cosmetic out there)

Reviews to come when I have time to spare, cheers!
