Miri Mini Haul + eBay Buys

Been a long time since I blogged. Haha. Easily losing interest? Yes. But it's more to procrastination right now, actually.

I would love to blog more if I had a better camera. It's not fun to not be able to focus an item well :(

Anyway, yesterday I went to Miri. It's a 2 hour drive from Brunei I guess. I was mostly asleep anyway lol.

So, I bought lots of stuff. More than I had intended to. Having my older sister tag along helped with that.

In terms of makeup/body beauty products, this is my haul:

From Left to Right: St Ives Skin Firming Lotion, Nexcare Acne Patch,  Sample Jars, Biore Acne Clear Cleanser, Falsies Applicator Clip, Oil Blotting Paper, Marie Beauty Eyelash Glue, SilkyGirl Silky White Powder in Natural, SilkyGirl Double Intense Gel Eye Liner + Gentle Eye Makeup Remover. 

I've never bought this much. lol. Kinda surprised. I don't shop much.

I bought the SilkyGirl cosmetics last minute when I saw at Watsons that it was at the 'Buy 2, Get 20% Off'. I took that as a chance since I don't have a gel liner yet, I needed  new pressed powder and my eye makeup remover was nearly finished. So I happily (last minutely) bought them. I have to say that from the swatches I did, it's quite nice.

I also tried the St Ives lotion and I was so happy that it wasn't at all sticky. We'll see if it firms up my skin or not. I'm quite fat lol. It's moisturizing too so I love it for now.

The oil blotting paper was kinda scratchy...but it has 150 sheets so who cares!

I haven't tried the eyelash glue and the applicator yet. Looking forward to it.

Nexcare is my holy grail in stopping me from further scarring my face ;-; it looks so horrible when I ran out of the acne patch. So I bought two to make sure I'll get by a month or so XD

The Biore cleanser...so far, since I used it last night, it didn't break me out so I'm super happy and looking forward to good results in a week. I'll do a follow up to that one in another post.

I bought the sample jars because it retailed at RM1.50 at SuperSave. It's sold for BND1.50 in Brunei too so wtf. It's also a different design than the ones I bought here. I bought two.

I also bought November's S Cawaii and this book I've always wanted, "Not Without My Sister". It was kinda a steal too. Selling for RM39.90 at Popular, with a 10% discount card, I calculated it to be around BND$14+!!! ( OAO ) that's like...waaay cheaper than ordering it online (BND$28 + taxes probably). Also, a hair accessory from Parkson.

Mom also bought me footwear!!

I've always wanted flats! But somehow this colour is....meh. Well, I'll wear them anyway. Wanna go on a date with my boyfie looking girly.

Other than that, my orders from eBay also came :D

Professional 20 Color Camouflage Concealer Palette

(Fake) "M.A.C" Hello Kitty 7 Brush Set

12 Waterproof Pencil Liner

I love them all. I didn't get disappointed by the brushes either, I expected low quality brushes...but they weren't bad at all. I tried the stippling brush, the lip brush and the eyeshadow brush already and they were all fine. Except...maybe the eyeshadow brush was a bit scratchy and hard. I dunno if it's supposed to be like that. I was also surprised the colour didn't stick to it despite it being white when I washed it! So I'm very happy with that.

As for the concealer, I haven't really managed to wear them fully for a long time to see its lasting power, and whether or not it cakes. It's creamy but at the same time, it's also quite hard to get product onto a brush. I prefer to use my finger. Need to experiment more.

The eyeliner looks awesome swatched on my wrist but when I tried to apply it to my (oily) eyelids, it was hard. It was like any other liner I had. I'll try with a primer next time and see how it goes. As far as being waterproof, it is. But it is not smudge-proof, so be careful when you rub your eyes!!!

I'm loving the pink for lining my lower lashline, I don't know why.

So, that's all for now! I can't get nice swatches of things yet without a good camera! I feel like I'm depriving people and myself lol.

Until next time!!

-Nisah-

P.S: Oh yeah. I forgot to add, I also bought AKB48's 'Beginner' single LOL. Random I know. Usually I'd buy comics but I didn't this time. SUPER SHOCKED.
