RAVE

Just a simple product rave, Bioderma make up remover. Mine's in sensitive, usually my fave make up removers (Clinique and Boots Botanics) leave my skin oily and slimey that I need to use face wash after also I'd need to rub my eyes a bit before my fave mascara (majolica majorca) will come off by about 80%.

This remover is completely different - it doesn't make you feel slimey, you don't need to shake before use, and it takes off my stubborn mascara with ease! To top things off, they're on sale at Bonjour (Hong Kong) with the original price of around $396 to now at $115 now you can't tell me that isn't a bargain!

The Full-Time Trophy

STARBUCKS HAVE NEW CUPS

With the new logo etched into the side, and the size of the drink etched just above the handle; I had to have one for myself.

How suave will I be waltzing into work with one of these x

Counting my pennies

Sleek Contour Kit - currently loving, I figured I should use contour powder to contour as opposed to Bronzer, this starts off looking muddy when applied to skin but it blends out so well, I've barely used the highlighter as I use the E.L.F one from my concealer stick

Stud earrings from Topshop and Forever 21 x

Gift from my friend who went to France, this little thing is a GEM; aside from being purely amazing by having references to Pantone, but this it a handy hook for your bags:

I'm cleaning that mirror.

Something to wrap your tool with

The hunt began after seeing my friend's ring from H&M - a nice dupe for the YSL one's promising it to my housemate I went and got it for her as a 'for now' gift and got myself a few more:

a softer 'girlier' version :)

I'm a terrible hand model.. so ignore that and look at the rings!

GOTCHA.

It still didn't hit the spot of my spending itch ._.

This is a little late as I'd only just received it today, Christmas Gifts from my host family in Korea

I was surprised they'd written English in the card as my friend's Mother got a blank card due to their limited vocab x

cute warm socks

masks

SEAWEED yumyumyum!!!

OK; with the next one: I LOVE. I love snoods you can wear them in so many ways:

사랑해요!

who needs gloves

You may or may not have seen these around, but lately in this weather I've been clutching this with my life! They have better models where you can use it as a spare battery but I like to keep my electronics separate! I digress, this wonderful contraption is a hand warmer, yes yes! Batteries warm up the metal plate (the bit that has the GP on it), it also has two levels of warmth but me and my deathly cold hands keep it on 2 :) I thought I'd share this amazing invention with you x

Three Elves

THIRD HAUL - damn they must love my money

Talk is cheap on this: just a second stock of the studio concealer and birthday suit stain

Studio : Lipstain Bombshell and Heartbreaker

Initial thoughts? Isn't heartbreaker a reddy colour? On top of that isn't bombshell peach? NOT WHAT I GOT! I suppose I can deal with some more nudeys... Pre-warning! Before you buy these they don't stain too well but the colours were gorgeous before so I wanted to try more.

I promised swatches of the first haul when I got them but I never got round to it but here are all four colours I have!

Top Left: Heartbreaker
Top Right: Bombshell
Bottom Left: First Date
Bottom Right: Birthday Suit

The bottom two are still my faves

Custom Lips - peaches

This is nice and creamy, not too pigmented, I haven't tried it on the lips yet but again it's less "reddy" than I thought it'd be..

yet another nudey

Lipstick in Seductive

I was hoping this would be a good dupe for my M.A.C Giddy as I can't find it in the uk :( - I got it from Korea...

Top : E.L.F

Bottom : M.A.C

they're pretty similar! One's more rosey that the other...

Studio : Cream Liner - Gun Metal

My friend tried this first in black and WOW it didn't budge! Whilst I still have my M.A.C blacktrack I went for gunmetal instead:

unfortunately this did smudge a bit (top) - hey it can be a good sign! (smokey eyes!)

Studio Kabuki Brush

After having my mineral kabuki being a dud, I opted for the studio range brush (YES. I LIKE ELF BRUSHES), no problems with this one!

Studio Mist & Fix

Haven't tried this yet; but I'm looking to compare it with the M.A.C fix+!
