			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a short post from me before I do a mad dash out of the door!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/blog/?action=view&amp;current=hyperdiamond.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/blog/hyperdiamond.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Maybelline Hyper Diamonds Eyeshadow</strong></p>
<p>The colour pigmentation is not too bad, they feel quite smooth, though the bottom middle feels a tad more gritty than the others.</p>
<p>For RM35.90, it&#8217;s not too bad!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/blog/?action=view&amp;current=maybelline-bb.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/blog/maybelline-bb.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-1705"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals Instant Skin Perfecting Cream B.B Cream SPF26 PA+++</strong></p>
<p>Oh my god! That&#8217;s a mouthful! It&#8217;s really tiny, fits into my palm and it&#8217;s pretty runny and nice to spread and blend. Coverage is sheer to medium, quite neutral too! Too bad it comes only in 1 shade and maybe too fair for darker ladies.</p>
<p>Rm22.90 for this isn&#8217;t too bad. I might give this a try! And the eyeshadow too!</p>
<p>Check out your local Guardian okay? Haven&#8217;t seen this in Watsons yet!</p>
<p>Okay, am off for the weekend! <img src='http://pinkyplue.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After making you yawn and say <em>&#8220;oh how boring&#8221;</em> etc with 2 post about my trip in Singapore, I think this the one part where most of you would be excited about, or maybe not.</p>
<p>Excited or not, I will still blog about it because I am excited bout, at least for the few days I was there <img src='http://pinkyplue.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The first place we visited was <strong>Sephora</strong>. And the LARGEST one in Asia.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t got any pictures, well, Kimmy said to be discreet because they don&#8217;t like it? or somewhat. But I think you all can go google a bit for yourself on it, ya?</p>
<p>When they said the LARGEST, I expected it to be really, really, really BIG, but I was quite disappointed because it really didn&#8217;t seem that large anyway. One quick walk and I am done looking at almost everything.</p>
<p><span id="more-1203"></span></p>
<p>I pretty much just took a quick glance of everything and then I just felt, &#8220;Oh, so this is Sephora?&#8221; It didn&#8217;t excite me as much as I thought it would. Maybe I wasn&#8217;t really much into makeup shopping at that time. Yeah, I really don&#8217;t feel like it that time.</p>
<p>The only thing that I would ever think of buying is the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. It&#8217;s priced as SGD28, which is quite decent, although it&#8217;s still a bit more expensive than buying it in US or online, but look, you don&#8217;t need to pay for shipping, neither you need to wait for it to arrive, quite a good deal ya?</p>
<p>I did find time to play around with Sephora&#8217;s in house brand, and I am quite pleased with the stuff they offer. Blushes, to be exact! I bought one after Kimoko recommended one to me <img src='http://pinkyplue.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  It cost me SGD22, not too shabby. And oops, I forgot to take an individual picture! &gt;_&lt;</p>
<p>We headed to Watsons and stayed a while there. It wasn&#8217;t huge, but it was crowded!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/?action=view&amp;current=maybelline-total-clean.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/maybelline-total-clean.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/?action=view&amp;current=maybelline-total-clean-price.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/maybelline-total-clean-price.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/?action=view&amp;current=maybelline-hydra.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/maybelline-hydra.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/?action=view&amp;current=maybelline-hydra-price.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/maybelline-hydra-price.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>I spotted these new stuff from Maybelline, definitely not in Malaysia yet <img src='http://pinkyplue.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Although new, I didn&#8217;t test them out though. Not that interested in it anyway.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/?action=view&amp;current=maybelline-angel-pore.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/maybelline-angel-pore.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>Now this one I quite like! Angelfit Pore Zero Base, SGD19.90~ It&#8217;s matte and leaves a smooth finish. Comes with SPF25 too! Not sure about it&#8217;s oil control properties though. Didn&#8217;t buy it because I have too many primers and as of late, I don&#8217;t do makeup that much, no thanks to my injured finger.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/?action=view&amp;current=cezanne.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/cezanne.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/?action=view&amp;current=cezanne-stuff.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/cezanne-stuff.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>They have Cezanne too, which to me, they are just so-so only. I have got nothing much to say about them. Kimmy and me swatched their eyeshadows and found them chalky, not worth the SGD20.90 at all. Their blushers weren&#8217;t impressive either. And with that, I stop swatching every other thing from Cezanne.</p>
<p>I swatched all the Gransenbon available there, and honestly, with the price tag of SGD29.90, they can do much better by improving their texture! They weren&#8217;t exactly silky to the touch, and there were a few that were gritty and way too shimmery! I only bought myself 13 Cherry Fromage because that&#8217;s a colour which is nice, texture is okay and not too shimmery.</p>
<p>They have Liese and Essential, a new shampoo brand which has lovely lovely fruity smell! I think <a href="http://soloverly.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Kahani</a> and <a href="http://www.beetricesreviews.com" target="_blank">Bee</a> will like this! I have used to shampoo and will review it a bit later <img src='http://pinkyplue.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I regretted not getting the conditioner too <img src='http://pinkyplue.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  Essential spokesperson is Suzanne (Not fond of her) and 皆藤愛子 Kaitou Aiko (now this is my type!)</p>
<p>They have Bourjois too! I won&#8217;t further elaborate since this is quite well known, but I am hitting myself for not getting the blushers! <img src='http://pinkyplue.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  SGD20.90, pretty colours but nothing outstanding. Haha. Contradictive?</p>
<p>I also went to check on Bath &amp; Bodyworks and also Victoria Secret. Retailling at SGD19, I find their fragrance too strong for my liking! I ended up having really stuff nose &gt;_&lt;</p>
<p>And then we head to Guardian.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/?action=view&amp;current=mbd-mask.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/mbd-mask.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s on sale! SGD2.90 per box! Each box 2 pieces! Cheap! Cheaper than buying in Guardian Malaysia! Of course, don&#8217;t compare with the price online ya~ I didn&#8217;t see NYX there, but Ryan told me only certain Guardian outlet carries it, and it&#8217;s dirty and yucky. Ew. I saw Kose&#8217;s Junkisei available there too! Beautiful red packaging, it&#8217;s hard to miss it!</p>
<p>Neutrogena Wave Cleanser was there, so was the cleansing oil. Biore&#8217;s cleansing oil and a new cleanser (blue bottle, can&#8217;t recall the name) is there too. Well, old news I suppose.</p>
<p>I also checked out the new Fasio&#8217;s palette at Sasa, to my dismay, it isn&#8217;t exactly that great. Good for beginner, nice to have if you collect, on a budget? Get Majolica Majorca. Haha. Enough said.</p>
<p>Sana eyelash curler is all out of stock. I tried a few Sasa, and that&#8217;s the answer I got. It&#8217;s pretty much the same as our local Sasa, except they do have Tsubaki and Aquair shampoo. Anything else I missed? Oh yeah, they have Kose&#8217;s Happy Bath Day range too!</p>
<p>The beauty shopping scene is Singapore is far more extensive than Malaysia, but I don&#8217;t have time to record everything down because I am a tourist and hence I need to do touristy stuff, so that&#8217;s why I only featured a few stuff here and there. And mind you, it&#8217;s not easy taking pictures with SA looking at you like as though I want to steal their stuff!</p>
<p>And my mini mini haul&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/?action=view&amp;current=hauls-sg.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/midnight_plue/Singapore%2019-21%202009/Beauty%20stuff/hauls-sg.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>Very little right? I am so going back the next time and get myself more! I bet all of you can&#8217;t believe it, but believe what you see! I really didn&#8217;t buy much!</p>
