late hauls !

the wonder woman collection was first launch in singapore on the 4th of march at tangs, and of course, i have to check it out cause the packaging seem so cute online.

went there with my boyfriend and a childhood friend of mine (the same girl that purchased the bh cosmetics 120 palette) on the very first day of launching, it was disappointing :'(

the packaging looks cheap in person IMO. the colours was not pigmented enough to my expectations. so i passed.

then my friend asked if the stila counter located at tangs is still around. luckily we decided to check out since we're there. i get to try out the stila smudge stick waterproof eyeliner in stingray for the 2nd time. this time i let the eyeliner sets for a few more secs before i start rubbing it. and i was so amazed, it didnt budge! so i went on trying out the rest of the colours available. and what really made me decided to purchase was the smudge stick in SILVER DOLLAR.

1st of all, both stingray and silver dollar applies like liquid, like butter, smooth and soft, no force needed.
2nd, the ability to not budge with my super-insane-rubbing skill is a huge huge HUGE plus point.
lastly, the silver dollar drives me nuts! the texture and finish are splendid! its like mercury!
they are, in my opinion, liquid eyeliner in pencil form and I LOVE IT!

if anyone, like me, have super watery + sensitive eyes, then stila smudge stick is the best eyeliner for your waterline! =D

bought another palette to keep all my blushes. love it.

side track, love my super huge ring from topshop ^.^

BH Cosmetics 2nd Edition 120 Colors Palette

2 weeks ago my childhood friend and i decided to purchase the 120 palette [ so excited! ] from BH Cosmetics. my friend got the 3rd edition, as for me, to satisfy my urge for colours, i got the 2nd edition.

the 3rd edition consist of mainly neutrals and some pastel colours, the 2nd edition consist of mainly bright/bold colours and a bit of neutrals.

im pretty satisfied with the purchase as the colours are quite pigmented in general. the frosted eyeshadows have better pigmentation, as usual, compared to the matte eyeshadows. some of the matte eyeshadows have pretty good pigmentation, and some not, for instance the yellows, you'll definately need a yellow base for the yellows to show up.

i wouldn't recommand doing the whole eye makeup with just the 120 palette alone as the finished look seems kinda flat ( i did 2 looks, one using all matte and another look using some matte and some frosted. will try and post pictures of it as i didnt take any photos ). i feel it's better to use, for example, the 120 palette for the lid and highlight and other brands like MAC or Shu for crease, it looks more 3-dimensional, more depth [ if you get what i mean ].

also, there's a couple of colours that's pretty similar. example, there's 2 butter frosted shadows, one of it is more of a golden tone and the other one is more of a yellowish tone. so if you do purchase, you might find that a few of the shades are quite close.

shipping was pretty fast, about a week or so. everything came in good condition, in a cardboard box filled with brown paper. the palette is sloted in a bubble wrap sleeve followed by the BH cosmetics packaging then another bubble wrap around it. the total cost for the 2nd edition is about SGD58 ( inclusive of half of the shipping fee ) and about SGD63 ( inclusive of half of the shipping fee ) as there's a 20% discount for the Valentines period =D

overall it's a worthwhile purchase if you wanna try out tons of different colours yet not spending tons of money.
