Sephora Haul #2 November 2014

Hey beauties!

It's only been a week since i last shopped at Sephora and i find myself going back and browsing through the aisles of Sephora yet again this week. Ahh help! 

I just couldnt stop thinking about the Tarte Pin up blush palette and my irrational fear of it going out of stock made me went out to get it. And i got a few other things as well, per usual. 

Also, Sephora Singapore is having a promotional campaign right now where they're giving out a free makeup bag with every 3 stamps collected, a tote bag with 6 stamps collected, and a makeup kit with every 9 stamps collected. To collect one stamp, all you have to do is spend $50 (for members) or $60 (for non-members)

I've collected 4 stamps so far and gotten a free makeup bag. It's has a silver and black sponged-print detail stamped all over in front and a plain black back that is sleek and shiny. Im thinking that it's made of faux leather material or PVC type material, something of that sort since the texture felt like that to me. The bag doesnt feel too flimsy or cheaply made. I'd say the quality is just nice to use as an everyday makeup bag. The bag is thin yet spacious enough and its size is slightly larger than an iPad. 

For makeup lovers out there, it's easy to score yourself a free makeup bag from Sephora Singapore. All you have to do is spend $150* or $180!* (*depending if you're a Sephora member or not) 

Promotion ends 24 December 2014.

Individual review on items bought will be in a separate blog post coming soon!

Sample Haul

Hey beauties!

I've gotten a few samples sent to me this past week and I'll be sure to put them to test! I know it's frustrating when a product doesnt deliver its claims and samples are HARDLY given out here. 

Perfume samples are even commercialized! Why is it socially acceptable to sell 3 packs of perfume samples at $10 to the public? Samples should be free.

Also, most stores in Singapore practices the 'no returns' policy which makes consumers at the short end of the stick. When products turn out to be disappointing, consumers have no choice but to either keep using the products despite not liking, give to someone else or to thrash it. 

So as a consumer myself and understanding the woes of buyer's regret, i'll be sure to give my honest review. Stay tuned for it! 

Sephora November 2014 Haul

I wasnt planning on going shopping yesterday. It was mid-week and I needed a little pick me up so I wondered into Sephora. I wanted to get myself mentally prepared on all the holiday sets available so that i can purchase them in December when im in the holiday mood. I saw quite a few sets that caught my eyes and was resisting the urge to get them all right away. As starters, I picked up a few necessities but when December comes, it's showtime.
