Haul: Art Net Loose Powder Holder from Sasa

I finished the every last bit of my RMK loose powder earlier this month ,and is currently using the Bobbi Brown loose powder that i hauled late last year (yes, it took me that long). It was a big tub of loose powder, at 28.0g vs RMK's 4.0g, i really have no idea how long it will take me to use up the entire tub. 

Bobbi Brown's loose powder seems to be really value for money if one is looking for good old loose powder (i still very much prefer my RMK, even though their price point simply makes people stay away from them- a shame really). While RMK's loose powder is housed in a compact with rubber net to prevent spillage of the precious powder, Bobbi Brown's is housed in a conventional tub, which the klutz in me knocked it over a couple of times on the dresser in the morning frenzy, resulting in unnecessary wastage. The size of the tub also means that it should stay on the dresser table and not to be brought out.

I was in Sasa (a Hongkong based cosmetic retailer that sells skincare and cosmetics from various Asian as well as selected European beauty brands) with my mom and  i came upon this petite and handy loose powder holder. The butterfly resembles that of Anna Sui's which i am rather fond of, it would be better if it comes in black. It comes with a powder puff, which i do not think i am going to make much use of it, maybe except to cover the holes.

Anyway, i bought it without a second thought and the very first moment i reached home, i filled it with my Bobbi Brown's loose powder.  

Art Net Cosmetic Accessory- No labelling of country anywhere.

The Anna Sui-inspired casing.

The lid is rather tight which is good to hold the loose powder in.

My RMK loose powder compact case, which i had to cut the rubber net to reach the product trapped, and that happen to be quite a fair bit of loose powder.

After emptying the RMK loose powder, i filled it with some of Bobbi Brown's loose powder so as not to contaminate the big tub. Apparently, it is not a good idea as without the rubber net, i can't do my makeup without having to close my windows and switching off the fans. 

The petite container adds a nice touch to my dresser.

So far so good, i experience lesser wastage of product due to spillage. However, it seems to me that the container might be rather fragile too, it sounds a little "brittle" when i accidentally dropped the cover on the floor once. Best be careful around it too.

I might get another one if it comes in black, white or even purple. : )

Priced at S$4.90, available from Sasa Stores (Singapore).

Something Random... Paul and Joe Ring

Yap... just like the title of the post says... something random.... my first piece of Paul and Joe Jewellery (non-cosmetic and skincare item : ) ).

That's all. Have a good day ahead. : D

Accessory: Alice in Wonderland Socks

This post is not related to skincare nor cosmetics, i posted it because there were too cute not to be shared. : )

I gotten them from People's Park OG.

Alice in Wonderland socks in Fuschia Pink and Teal blue.

Note the cute pictures printed on each toe.

Aren't they cute?

I can't bear to wear them as the rubber picture print might be rubbed off due to friction against the shoes.

Haul: Promod Accessories Haul just before CNY

A little accessories haul just before the Chinese New Year.....

: )

Sweet looking dove necklace with flower and pink coloured stone.


Simple yet versatile to match with clothes in my wardrobe.

An interesting necklace composition.

Like the sweet look of it, especially the turquoise at the bottom lends a nice touch to it.

Lace Bracelet with charms.

Long chain plus beads necklace with flower brooch.

Love the fact that the flower is detachable from the necklace.

Another of my favourite.

The ribbon detailing.

The antique-like flower.

I have been hauling too much from Promod, but i just can't help it if most of the things are just right for me.....

Looking forward to the next haul... : )


Happy Chinese New Year!

Ghost of Christmas Past- Part II Givenchy and YSL

Okie, i confess... i have not been doing my blogging as regularly as i hope to... this is a post that should have been done straight after the Ghost of Christmas Past- Christian Dior Collectibles.

Apart from the major clearing and cleaning of my room (getting ready for Chinese New Year....last minute clean up irritates me to no end) and making New Year Resolutions and stuffs like that .......

Yep, i am pretty busy these few days and plus not feeling too well too....

Well, without further delay......i present the Ghost of Christmas Past- Part II.

YSL Bag Accessory 2007- Solid Perfume(Elle) and Lip GLoss (A Bright Fuschia Pink):

The Compact but flimsy packaging.

The locket-like YSL metal container, the one that is all gold holds the solid perfume while the one with pink YSL wording contains the lip gloss.

A Closer look at the accessory.

YSL Love Collection Lip Makeup Palette from 2008:

The Heart-shaped necklace with red Swarovski Crystals.

There is a lip brush hidden at the top of the heart.

The bright red lipstick and sheer white shimmer lip gloss.

Givenchy Pocket Beauty Case from 2008:

Accessory that is both a lip gloss and a cheek stain.

Neat cover that holds that treasure.

The pocket watch-like accessory.

The Pale pink lip gloss and cream blusher.

As i have mentioned previously in my other posts, i am a sucker for pretty packaging, which explains why i can't bear to use them all at once, but as a Good friend of mine always say, "Use them, or they will go bad anyway." I will work harder to make full use of them... will try....

Haul: Promod Accessories

I simply love post-christmas sale...... that's when all the best bargains are churned up......

I was never a fashion clothing brand kind of fan, so when i realised that i am buying increasing more stuffs from a single brand, i will usually put myself on a red alert (to avoid becoming an addict like some friends around me).

Never have i managed to find things of various categories to suit me until now (its usually bottoms from Dorothy Perkins, tops from Warehouse or Miss Selfridge, hair accessories from Evita Peroni , etc). I managed to find all the stuffs that i really like, fits me well and suits me from just 1 single shop- Promod and this has never happened to me as i like to mix and match all around.

Anyway, Promod got me hooked from the very first dress i bought from them last year, since then i have been checking out their collection regularly (a stalker at their various outlets in Town......lol).

Now, their post-christmas sale really got me hooked even more..... its really value for your bucks during sales if their style is right up your alley.

Here are the accessories i have hauled that fateful day (and i wasn't even planning to buy anything at all... (-_-)

2 Hairbands with beads and pearls.

Grey and black lace hairband with grayish silver pearls- S$7.90 (fromS$16.90).

A closer look at the intricate design. Ideal for dinner or party.

Bronze and black multi-coloured beads hairband- S$9.90 (from S$16.90)

Love the leave design.

Multi-strand chain and beads necklacce- S$19.90 (from S$29.90).

The feather can be detached to be used as a brooch or to clip on to a plain hairband for a touch of glam.

All in all, i love a good sale and this is definitely of one those that you really get more bangs for your bucks.

Love it.

I will wait in anticipation eagerly for the next one.
