Haul~

Hii here is my latest haul (more to come!!):

Swatches:

From Left to Right: Cle de Peau Extra Silky Lipstick in #106, Tom Ford Lip Color in Nude Vanille, Dolce & Gabbana Shine Lipstick in Soiree, Cle de Peau Cream Eye Color in #2 Moon Light

Cle de Peau Extra Silky Lipstick in #106
Cle de Peau lipsticks are a must have as they are super moisturizing. I love the color I chose as well; it looks hot pink in the photo but on my lips it comes out more as a milky pink.
Rating: 5/5

Tom Ford Lip Color in Nude Vanille
I LOVE the scent and the swatch on my arm... but not the color on my lips! See below my comparison to Blush Nude.

Dolce & Gabbana Shine Lipstick
I don't like the texture of Soiree on my lips, it just seems a bit grainy probably because it's a 'shine' lipstick. If you like sheer colors with a hint of coral I would recommend Soiree, but it's nothing special for me...
Rating: 3/5

Cle de Peau Cream Eye Color in #2 Moon Light
The swatch doesn't do this eye shadow any justice. It is a taupey color and the glitter makes it more unique and luxurious.
Rating: 5/5

A comparison to:

Tom Ford Lip Color in Blush Nude

Blush Nude is rosy and slightly darker than Nude Vanille. I dislike Nude Vanille on my lips as it basically goes on like concealer however... I LOVE Blush Nude and Tom Ford lipsticks smell like vanilla.

Rating: 5/5 for Blush Nude! :)

Blooming Tiara

Hey all I have a long overdue review to do for Jill Stuart 103 Blooming Tiara, so here are the swatches:

I personally like Brilliant Crown better, probably because it's easier to wear those colors and because the glitter can be worn alone for a different look. For Blooming Tiara the glitter looks the same blended with the cream and alone...

Rating: 4/5

Sleek Makeup i-Divine Oh So Special Palette

My first Sleek purchase from the UK and probably the cheapest palette I own. For the price, I am quite impressed:

Interesting how 'The Mail' is pretty much the color of my skin tone. I could probably use this for a bare eye look :) The matte white shade (Bow) is weak and isn't really pigmented.. luckily I have plenty of white eye shadows so I can live with that. Overall nice quality for the price, but I don't think they match up to designer and luxury brand eye shadows.

Rating: 4/5

Jill Stuart Prism Carat Eyes

Hello lovelies its been awhile, I've been busy with work and other things but that hasn't stopped me from shopping till I drop ;) Another reason I haven't been so motivated to post here is because I've been purchasing products multiple other people have already swatched! I don't think there are many photos out there yet for the new Jill Stuart Prism Carat Eyes so here you all go, this is in 101 Brilliant Crown.

The middle swatch is combined glitter + creme. Overall AMAZING product! I am very satisfied with the pigmentation and quality and cannot wait to wear this for a night out! I am highly considering purchasing this in another color, if I do I will post the pictures here.

Rating: 5/5 :)

Beauty & Fashion Storage / Organization

Just bought three girly storage pieces from Peach John / ピーチ・ジョン. One to store my cosmetics in, and the other two for lingerie.

Instructions to set up the box were in Japanese but included diagrams; which did confuse me at first but each piece had logical indentures so I managed to put everything together fine. Now I am just working on filling up each 'drawer' with my stuff. Right now I put some lipsticks in there, my Guerlain Meteorites, and Juicy Couture body powder. Very cute, but not sure it was worth ¥2800 + extra shipping costs.

I do love the lingerie separators at ¥850 a piece, and wish I bought one more because I still have extra space for one in my top dresser drawer. I believe one can be creative with these and store other products.

GOODDEALER SUCKS!

This is a warning to all existing and prospective customers of Gooddealer (http://www.gooddealer.com/). DO NOT BUY / ORDER FROM GOODDEALER.COM.

I am very disappointed with their service! TWO times already they made me wait and tried to avoid sending me my items and/or refunding me.

First, I ordered over $100 of Jill Stuart items a week ago and they refuse to ship my items or refund me my money.
UPDATE: Paypal refunded me as they took my side on the dispute.
UPDATE 2: Still no response from them.

Second, a couple months ago I had over $100 of items I ordered and my package was lost. It took them OVER 3 MONTHS to refund me and they did not refund full amount.

I will not give them another chance, it is time to move on and find a different seller!

Another late update...busy busy!

Hi all, I have new stuff to show you:

Helena Rubinstein mascaras!! Rawr.

From top to bottom:
Lash Queen Feline Extravaganza - 01 Deep Black
Lash Queen Feline Blacks - 01 Deep Black
Lash Queen Sexy Blacks - 01 Scandalous Black

These are all WP (waterproof) and are like GLUE on the lashes. I recommend a powerful eye cleanser for these (such as Lancome). My personal favorites are Feline Extravaganza (the black tube, has a relatively small straight brush) and Sexy Blacks (the flower tube, has a curvy brush). They all lengthen and curl about the same, I think Feline Blacks underperformed a bit for me but I could just be seeing things...it also has a larger brush compared to the other two.

Sure I'd give them all a Rating 5/5, but very pricey. You get what you pay for.


This is my second Jill Stuart palette in 101 smoky quartz.

Swatches:


Gorgeous palette/colors. The drawback is that bits from the black eyeshadow fall and smudge everywhere. Ugh! You can even see the flakey black bits in the swatch..

Rating 4/5 ...If only it weren't for the little bits. I still wear it and suggest some primer.


Paul & Joe Color Powder in 071

Swatch:


The packaging is love but the shadows are really nothing special. It has been sitting on my shelf and I seldom wear these colors.

Rating 3/5

Late Update...

Hi all, I know its been awhile since I've posted. Been much more focused on school and work. I had some things on my camera (old and now dead...I really have been trying to get images of swatches on my iPhone but the quality is not good) that I had been meaning to post:

Dior Minaudiere Pink Golds

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!! A+++ I am so happy with this purchase.

Urban Decay Naked Palette


Shiseido Integrate Rainbow Grad Eyes in BR701


Chanel Regard Perle Eyeshadow Quad


I also bought a lot of Burberry Cosmetics but I won't be sharing those since my camera broke before I purchased =(. The last two pictures here are bad quality because its my iPhone...
