Haul: 50% off at Foxy Jeans Boutique

Hi Ladies,
I left to go to work earlier than usual today so I have time to pass by Foxy Jeans to get some clothes. They're currently having their event of the year where all regular items are 50% off and all reduced items are 30% off. Do go check their boutiques when you have time. The sale is until May 29th.

Here are the ones I got...
A light yellow top with very pretty and detailed collar and a black pleated shirt.

The same top in black with the same shirt but with floral print.

Lastly, a dark grey shirt.

This next outfit in not from Foxy Jeans, but I thought I would show it. The top I got from Guess and the jeans are from Miss Sixty (which I got for $15 at the Premium Outlet Sale a few weeks ago)

Which outfit do you like most?
Till next time...~

Amazing finds at Winners

Hey Ladies,
guess what I found at Winners? Some very high end products!!! ^^ I think I was just lucky to find these, because I never found any others after this...

  • Origins Skin Relievers Set: Dr. Andre Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser, Advanced Face Serum and Face Cream ($39.00)
  • Rouge Volupte Silky - Sensual Radiant Lipstick in 1 Nude Beige ($24.99)
Here's a close up of the products. This set is super affordable because it comes with the full size of the Face Cream which usually retails for $61 and 2 travel size products.

As for this one, it usually retails for $34. This color is a very pretty nude pink. The texture of this lipstick is sooooooo silky!! And I love the fact that it had SPF15, so perfect for the summer time! It also come with a small mirror in the top of the cap.

Has anyone found anything interesting at Winners lately?

Haul: Skin79 BB Cream & Nail Stickers

Hi Beauties,
A month or so ago I purchased a set of Miniature BB creams from Skin79 via eBay. I got it for less than $10CAD shipping included plus 2 small samples. I've been testing all of them it's been a few weeks now and I'm ready to give you swatches and reviews of these 4 mini products.
  1. Skin79 VIP Gold Super+ Beblesh Balm Triple Function
  2. Skin79 Hot Pink Super+ Beblesh Balm Triple Function
  3. Skin79 The Prestige Beblesh Balm - Diamond Collection
  4. Skin79 Luminous Pearl Beblesh Balm

Here's a size comparison with my OPUS card. The tubes are very small and contains 5mL of products in each tubes. They're small sample size tubes that would last you almost a week if used everyday.

Here are swatches of the BB creams in the same order of all previous pictures. As you can see, the VIP Gold has greyish undertones along with the Hot Pink one (First and third ones).

Natural light

When blended into the skin, all products matches my skin color perfectly (NC20). The only thing that cannot be seen from the pictures is that the Luminous Pearl contains glitters, which I really don't like on my face.

Out of all these 4 Skin79 BB creams, I debated on the Hot Pink or the Diamond The Prestige. These are the only two that had sebum control. Due to the grey undertone in the Hot Pink tube I went with the Skin79 The Prestige Beblesh Balm - Diamond Collection. All 4 product has a light coverage, which is what I'm looking for. The Prestige BB cream gives a very soft dewy look with a very natural coverage. This one does contain some shimmer, but so subtle that it's almost unnoticeable.

Skin79 The Prestige Beblesh Balm - Diamond Collection (taken from the Skin79 website):
  • For all normal skin
  • SPF protection
  • Whitening features
  • Sebum control
  • Winkle improvement
  • Glitter, shimmer
I've already ordered a full size bottle of Skin79 The Prestige Beblesh Balm - Diamond Collection and along with that I also ordered from the same line the BB pact! Will do a review of them when I receive them.

Onto the Nail stickers I purchased from eBay...



These were all under $1.50CAD. I even got one at $0.18CAD and they all had free shipping. Getting these stickers on eBay is sooo much cheaper than in stores! You girls should really check it out!

Hope you enjoyed this haul/review! ^^
Till next time...~

First Luxe Box by Loose Button

Hi Ladies,
I just received my first Luxe Box. I believe we all read of these boxes one way or another. Here's the website where you can get more information about these boxes: http://www.loosebutton.com/ It is still on a waiting list based, so if you want to try one... you'll have to sign up and wait to get invited. It takes about 2-3 days and you'll receive an invitation.

Let's get onto the pictures...

It came with in a nicely packed box.

Inside along with the product, there's a card with a brief description of the products.


Here are the 4 products I received:
  • Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant (13g)
  • ChinaGlaze Nail polish (full size)
  • Consonant Body Organic Olive Oil Body Soap (112g)
  • Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Complex Day Serum (10ml)

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant: Considered as one of InStyle's Best Beauty Buys, this rice-based enzyme powder helps to exfoliate your skin by removing debris, leaving your skin smoother and brighter. Contains no artificial fragrance or color, good for all skin types.


Small remark: Not much to say about it... will have to try it before I giving a thought about it.

China Glaze Nail Polish in Party Hearty: This professional nail lacquer has captured the hearts of blogger and celebrities alike because of its fabulous finish and easy application. There are lots of bold and exciting colors to choose from that can fit and match your style.


Small remark: The nail color is from the Holiday 2010, quite old and not quite the season for it!!!! I think I'd rather get a mini size and get a more recent color that fits the season!

Consonant Body Organic Olive Oil Body Soap: One of the brand's signature products. It contains a perfect blend of organic olive oil, beeswax and spring water. It will keep your skin moisturized after each use. It is also appropriate for all skin types and 100% natural and organic.

Small remark: This soap sounds pretty interesting. I'm not a soap person, but I will give it a try and let you know what I think of it. I like how it's all natural too!!

Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Complex day Serum: This high performing anti-aging day serum is good for all ages and helps defend fundamental skin layers through a rich concentration of natural plant extracts, vitamins, and enzymes. Apply 2-3 drops every morning on clean skin before moisturizing.



Small remark: I'm 25 years old and I'm still not sure if it's too early to use anti-aging products. I know people start using anti-aging products quite early, but I don't know how I'm feeling about these products. Especially this says it's good for all ages... As a chinese, our skin tends to be still quite "young" still at my age. I mean, I can probably still pass for a 18 years old... LOL Should I use this product?? Any suggestions??

So I'm 50/50 about this box now, but I will have to try the product first before giving a review of how I like the products.

Have your gotten a Luxe Box? What are your thought of the products?

Quick Review & Swatches: Marcelle and Annabelle

Hey Ladies,
I'm finally back with a quick review and swatches of my previous purchases...

Marcelle Paparazzi Multi-Colour Eye Palette

Natural light

With flash

The colors are shimmery, the eyeshadows are very smooth and easy to blend. I'm very happy with my purchase and love the colors!

Annabelle Studio Mono Eyeshadow in Jazzberry and Revolver
Natural light

With flash
These two colors are probably my favorite colors to wear together. It compliments so well with asian eyes! Love it!

Annabelle Eye Makeup Remover Cloths
I find these cloth are not efficient at removing waterproof makeup. I guess it's because the cloths are not moist enough. Therefore I would use it in combination with Marcelle Essentials Gentle Makeup Remover for Sensitive Eyes. Like this, makeup is removed effortlessly.


I have my exam for my Certified Human Resource Professional (CHRP) designation this coming Saturday and I've been studying for it like crazy! Hope I pass!!! Wish me good luck!~


I'll be fully back blogging after this week!
