Recent Gets: Skincare & Makeup

Hello everyone, sorry for the unannounced hiatus the past couple of weeks. Personal issues sometimes get in the way of blogging but I'm back now and have lots planned.

I'm starting off with an overview of my recent gets. I didn't realize I accumulated this much within a short period until I gathered them for a family portrait. Guess I got a little carried away fueling my beauty addiction haha.

As you well know, I am a huge fan of Sonia Rykiel. Walked away with two items in order to qualify for the GWP, I am so easily sucked in by promotions (> ω <)


Candy Doll Lipstick Ramune Pink and a limited edition Dolly Wink mascara and eyeliner set. They were too cute to pass up!


Purchased Flower Perfection Foundation when I saw Bourjois on sale. And if So Laque 28 Rose Lounge (blended with Essie Allure) is good for Kate Middleton on her big day, it sure is good enough for me.


Star products from Kiehl's. Ridiculously pricey but hopefully they'll prove their worth.


Basic Muji skincare. The Light Toning Water has been receiving raves from Japanese consumers.


Kose Hadabisei products were incredibly inexpensive after a hefty 40% discount, so off they went into my cart.


Ole Henriksen Aloe Vera Deep Cleanser to replace my current cleanser: Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser (extremely drying), was enabled by 牛爾老師 into getting Bliss Steep Clean Pore Purifying Mask and La Roche-Posay Effaclar K after reading how Nic Nic adores it so much.


No haul is complete without the obligatory sheet masks. Got rid of the boxes because they were taking up too much space.


Not sure when I will be able to finish seven tubes of hand creams but at least I won't run out anytime soon.. thanks to kind friends, dear Ms. MN, Ms. MT, Plue and Ms. MG for gifting me with some of the hand creams below! *mwah*


A trio of hand and body products from Marks & Spencer's Royal Jelly range and Soap & Glory Flake Away courtesy of one of the sweetest person ever, Cathy (the incident after our movie was very memorable haha!).


My all time favourite perfume - Versace Woman. I never fail to return to it.


I'll show you guys what I bought on the clothes and accessories front in future posts... this entry will be too long otherwise (^ ω ^)

To all those celebrating the Lunar New Year, may the year of the dragon bring you luck!

I want to see the SR in detail, lol! *disappoint* Also, I've been eyeing almost the same Kiehl's and Muji skincare items, though I haven't gotten round to actually acting on it.

I'm still so upset my parcel never made it to you *sigh* Breaks my heart :(

And aww I loved the pics of Cathy and you, you must've had a lotta fun, I badly need to go back to Asia when I'm back in Germany, ok lol that sounded weird?

Also, super nice haul, lah <3!!! Can't wait to see the reviews and even though I've heard the name pretty often, I don't really know what kind of brand Rykiel is.

Anyway, I'm glad you're back and hope you'll be more active on Twitter, too <3

Happy CNY!

SO many lovely goodies! I didn't know Little Twins had their own sheet mask brand!? Or is it a collaboration? And My Melody - I want :D

diana.paperdollrevenge said...

Woohoo sheet masks galore!!  And ooh I've never tried any Sonia Rykiel.  I also see lots of L'Occitane hand creams, please do let me know how well those work out for you.  Overall, nice round up and "family portraits!"

Happy Lunar New Year!!

Blair said...

Hahaha no, these are collaborations! Sophie Monk x Little Twin Stars and Love More x My Melody. If I'm not mistaken, the My Melody masks are Taiwan exclusive.

Tiffany said...

Aww, missed you and your blogging! Glad to have you back. :D

Love all your goodies!!! Ooh! Kate Middleton used that foundation? I'm curious now! Possibly do a review? And of the Muji water too? heh heh. But I be you'll be having lots of fun trying out your new skincare and masks (you can never have too many!!)

Happy Lunar New Year to you!!

shinyprettythings said...

Beauty Box said...

Wow what a lovely CNY haul! I didn't know the Muji Light Toning Water was so raved about...I'll go check it out ;-)

Lizzie said...

Yay! I missed reading your blog, I hope everything is ok with you now :).

I feel like a bad blog-reader because somehow I totally missed that you love SR - I think because I only recently got into the brand, maybe I didn't really register the brand name when you wrote about it...? Anyway I love Sonia Rykiel stuff, I think it's such a fantastic brand, with really original and high-quality products. I can't wait to see more about your haul.

And you reminded me, I need to get some sheet masks. My skin is freaking out at the moment :(.

Blair said...

Hi, as mentioned in my text, most of the hand creams are gifts from friends and family. The face masks are purchased from Watsons Singapore, Guardian Pharmacy Singapore and Cosmed Taiwan.

Amy Dang said...

Love the haul! No haul is complete without masks :)

Great haul! Where do you purchase Sonia Rykiel MU in KL? I love her clothes and want to try her makeup too :)
