[Review] May 2013 IPSY Glam Bags

Was so happy when I saw a fully filled bag!

Never received such fully packed IPSY bag before.

Plus it was my birthday month so I was super looking forward to this bag.

All the discounts available on the brands card.

Now ready for the review? :)

♥♥♥

6 products in all! :)

Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow

This is definitely the highlight of my bag!

Realized that not every one had this in their bags.

There was a card inside that says:

"Thank you for being an active member of the ipsy community"

THANK YOU IPSY! ♥

Yaby Concealor

Haven't tried this product. But it will make a good travel size concealor!

Seems to be of my shade too! Yay!

Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment

This Macadamia brand is highly raved in USA!

Been looking forward to try their products :)

Zoya Nail Polish

This is my second favorite product in my glam bag!

Got it in the shade Blu.

Love the pastel blue color and it goes on so smoothly :)

Pacifica Roller Ball Perfume

This perfume has a fresh citrus/floral smell.

It's quite a unique smell and cause it is small size, I can use it for travel too! :)

♥♥♥

Conclusion: I am mad happy with my May 2013 IPSY Glam Bag!

Will definitely look forward to future IPSY bags! :)

[Review] November and December IPSY Glam Bags

Hot pink bubblewrap bags! Guess what's inside? :)

They are IPSY glam bags! :) All the way from USA! Yay!

Those who want to order one can ask All Things Spree about it ;)

Continue reading for the review :)

November IPSY Bag

Sadly, the pretty nail polish couldn't be shipped over :(

But I'm one of the lucky ones who got the Benefit They're Real Mascara!

The Balm - Meet Matt(e) Eyeshadow 

in Matt Batali

It's sort of a brownish grey colour as swatched on my hand.

The bottom one is when I only slide the colour on my hand once.

The top (darker one) is when I put one about 2-3 layers of the product.

bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss

in Dare Devil

This lip gloss has a very nice sweet smell.

The plum colour is something I don't already own. 

So yay to a new addition to my lip glosses!

Benefit They're Real! Beyond Mascara

Haven't tried it yet. But there has been lots of raving bout this mascara!

So happy that I received it in my bag! Those it's just a smaller sized one, it costs US$10 at Sephora!

Starlet Intense Eyeliner

Never heard of this brand before. Tried it on my hand as usual.

Didn't really like this product. It does glide on properly, but a lil stiff (not smooth).

In addition, it is not smudge-proof at all! I could rub it off easily.

♥♥♥

December IPSY bag

At only US$10, this bag is so worth it!

Be A Bombshell Lip Gloss in Hot Mess

Bright red lip gloss! Another colour that I have yet own.

Okays actually I don't have a lot of lip glosses. So most colours are new to me ;)

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero

I love this eye pencil! It's so much better than the MAC one I have. (maybe my MAC one is too old)

This glides on very easily and the colour is very dark. One slide is enough to have a clear dark line :)

For some reason whatever eyeliner I use on my eyes, they always smudges :(

Wore this out the previous day and I was so happy that only one eye smudged!

So I think if I put on my makeup setting spray properly, it should be able to last without smudging :)

NYX Loose Pearl Eyeshadow in Black Pearl

Had heard rather good reviews about this NYX products.

Sadly, this loose eyeshadow creates a mess :(

Just by opening it, I made a mess on the table (those small specks).

So I decided to just show you all the colour by pouring more on the table (thos bigger specks) hahas.

Mirabella Prime for Face and Eyes

This has a similar texture to my Tarte face primer but it's a little less thick, has a more gel like feel.

Mai Couture Highlighter Paper

Haven't heard of this brand before and have yet tried it too. But the colour comes off quite easily.

So you just swipe the paper on parts of your face where you want to highlight eg. cheekbones.

♥♥♥

That's all for the review of my November and December IPSY glam bags :)

Remember those who are interested can contact All Things Spree about it!

If you would love to get a beauty box but don't want to ship it from oversea,  

you can check out Vanity Trove as they are Singapore base! You can read my reviews here.

Those living overseas can check it out too! They ship overseas as well ;)

[Haul] USA Forever 21, Toys R Us and IPSY + Review

Okays. I've never had proper haul posts. From now onwards all haul posts will be labelled [Haul] :)

Yay! My stuffs from USA are here! 10 packages in all! Contains stuffs from Forever 21, Toys "R" Us, Sephora and IPSY! Will be sharing what I bought from Forever 21, Toys R Us and IPSY in this post :)

Actually it's supposed to be a month plus worth of hauls. I'm not such a crazy shopper.

It's just that I receive it all together in a day. So let's call it Hauls of the day.

Yes I ship stuffs from USA rather frequently cause it's like everything is cheaper even after shipping!

Singapore prices are too ridiculous =P These are all my personal stuffs though. If you want to order anything from the states, you can check out All Things Spree. They do shippings from USA! I think it will definitely to ship it through sprees unless you are a mad shopper like me who ship till I hit the limit for non-tax. And because I hit the limit and I refuse to pay the high tax that Singapore charge for overseas shipments above 300/400SGD, I had to leave 4 packages behind :( As you all are reading this post, they are currently being shipped over! Not that I'm that crazily shopping till I have to ship stuffs over weekly (it has only been a week since my last shipment). But it's because my macbook battery died and needed one urgently. It can no longer work without a power supply. I've completely used up all 1000+ battery cycles. Yes yes even battery I'm shipping from USA hahas. There's a reason for shipping overseas okay. Now back to the haul post. Here's what I bought!

Forever 21 Haul - 2 dresses, 1 skirt, 2 tank tops, 3 necklaces.

Outfit 1

Outfit 2

Outfit 3

There is still a Bejeweled Layered Necklace and V-Neck Tank which I did not take photos of.

♥♥♥

Toys "R" Us Haul - 4 games, 2 controllers, 1 pack of guitar picks.

Bought two controllers that comes with games cause I only have 2 controllers at home.

I know it's the same game but I don't care. This item was on offer.

Original price was US$50+ and when I bought it, it was only US$29.90.

In addition there was a buy one get one 30% offer going on then!

For the games, I bought...

(A little review on the games)

Raving Rabbids 2

Played it a couple of times but I still cannot differentiate between Raving Rabbids 1 and 2.

So I just anyhow buy one of it hahas. It's a really idiotic and funny game.

A game that will let you laugh like crazy and have aching arms the next day.

Band Hero

I love the songs! There's like Taylor Swift's Love Story, Pictures to Burn and You Belong With Me.

There is also Hilary Duff's So Yesterday (super old school song that I like)!

But when my sis and I tried this game, we only had the guitar at home. 

The mic has not been shipped over yet. So I sang (without mic) while bin played the guitar.

Can't wait for my mic to reach!

Just Dance 3

Sis and I tried this game together. 

Ling and I kept crashing into each other cause there was not enough space! It's not bad a game though.

Made me sweat even though the fan was on and it was a rainy + cooling day.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games

No winter in Singapore so we play winter games on wii? =P

Random Disney Princess guitar picks which I bought. Needed $50 for free shipping.

So I randomly top up stuffs to make it $50. Btw, these picks are huge!

Guess I won't be able to use them. Just keeping them cause I love Disney Princesses! ♥

♥♥♥

Btw, I never trust those shipping companies prices, I trust myself more. I've shipped so many many times with them till I know how inaccurately they charge. Actually it is not how inaccurately they charge. Is what weird ways US companies like to pack their stuffs for shipments. It's like the weight is actually very light one, like 1kg but the box is very big with volumetric weight of 4.3kg and you will get charged 4.5kg! I really got charged such ridiculous prices before!

One example is this recent shipment. Toys "R" Us has this weird way of packing their stuffs. Two items per box when there is so much extra space? I could put all my Toys "R" Us stuffs into the same box but they had to package it separately! Made me waste extra money for shipping the other few boxes cause they always round up the weight! But it was still cheaper than buying in Singapore LOL! So oh wells! =P

I've already shopped with so many different USA companies till I know how they ship their stuffs already and how big their boxes are. Sephora, Amazon, Gap, Forever21, Apple, Toys R Us, Old Navy :) So actually the above was expected (except for the part about them shipping the items individually). I usually do my calculations to know the rough shipping price and see if it's still worth it buying from USA ;) So far everything that I buy are still worth it hahas except YSL. Even SK-II is cheaper there! Those who are interested to buy stuffs from USA can approach they will tell you the rough prices All Things Spree for shipping :) It's run by a friend of mine.

♥♥♥

Here's what I receive in my November and December IPSY glam bags!

Will have a separate post for the review ;)

That's all for this post! Will have the Sephora Haul blogpost soon!
After that I will be picking and reviewing certain stuffs I got from IPSY and Sephora :)
