Updates on National Day's Eve

Coastal Scents spree loots have arrived in sunny Singapore! It was my first time participating in a spree and the organizer is super efficient. Fantastic. I have since made my final payment, now patiently waiting for my items to be delivered. The shipping for my 10 items cost only SGD1.75 (after discount)! There was a USD20 discount given for purchases of USD100 and above. Guess we got lucky, it only started after the spree was opened. Let's hope that the items will arrive in pristine condition. No damages please!

On a side note, I have been madly researching on sunscreen ingredients. An article is in progress, to share my findings with you. The search for the perfect sun screen might come to an end soon! I will try to finish up the article tomorrow and do some market research at Watsons'. (Note to self: Must not overspend.)

Happy National Day everyone!

Coastal Scents Purchase

Just ordered a bunch of stuff from Coastal Scents. Will be doing reviews soon!

I was sooooooo tempted to buy at least one of the 88 palettes, especially the neutrals. And maybe the metals. Thank goodness the spree did not allow bulky items i.e., 88 palettes. I'll be sourcing for cheaper alternatives in the meantime.

Silicone Oil - 4 oz bottle $5.49

Supposedly works great as a primer. I'll be comparing it with the diva defense primer, which is also silicone based, but powder form.

Diva Defense Primer Sample 1/2 tsp $2.00

Rave reviews everywhere for this powder primer. I just had to try it. $2.00 for a sample portion, why not?

Concealer A - Multi Purpose 1/2 teaspoon sample $2.00

Let's see if it helps my horrid dark circles. Supposed to provide great coverage for all kinds of blemishes and imperfections.

Exotic Skin Foundation Sample Pack $4.99

Silk Cover Mineral Foundation Samples 7 Light Shade Set $9.95

Couldn't decide which to get, so I decided to get them all. Must stop impulse shopping.

Brushes:

Italian Badger Angle Blush $6.99

Pink Deluxe Oval Shadow Brush $2.39

Black Precision Pointed Detail $2.79

Black Stipler Brush $7.95

Synthetic Deluxe Crease Brush $2.79

These are some of the best rated brushes that were available. I really wanted to get the Wide Synthetic Buffer Brush. Unfortunately or fortunately, it was sold out.

Can't wait for the products to arrive!
