-- CONTEST CLOSED after ImmaPink's entry --
I came home after an onslaught of exams to this lovely and comforting sight.
Q__Q How I love the pink hearts banner around this parcel, so sweet. Sorry for the messy erasing of my address.
This was sent by Yippy (gosh, I still haven't asked for her real name) to review some of the cosmetics that she's currently selling on her newly opened blogshop, Under-Twenty20. A few weeks back, she contacted me and asked for my opinion on some of the hotter-selling products in Sephora as well as some advice for her up-and-coming blogshop. For the short time that I've worked at Sephora, I kinda knew what was good and what wasn't so hot, so I just shared with her accordingly, and surprise! She asked me for some product reviewing a week back, and here's the lovely package she sent.
It was a BIG relief to an exam-mangled me and I proceeded excitedly to open the package. All the items, carefully bubble-wrapped in the box!
And here's what I got:
Left to right:
1) Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in "Ivory"
2) L'oreal HIP Jelly Balm in "Savory" (salty lip balm?? o_O)
3) Milani Sunset Duos Blush and Bronzer in "Sunset City"
4) Urban Decay Lipstick in "Vinyl"
5) Milani Lip Mixer in 'Lip Party"
6) Rimmel Volume Booster Lip Colour in "Seduce"
Close-ups of the face products:
I believe Maybelline's Dream Matte powder has always been an highly-raved product and it's not sold here in SG (WTH right?). And the bronzer blush duo from Milani looks inviting~
Close-ups of lip products:
I'm freaking excited to try the lip products as you guys probably can tell by now I'm a huge eye and lip product fan (all ye' eyeshadows and lip glosses, come to mama!!!). Damn, Yippy is accurate at aiming for my cosmetics soft spot~
As promised, I will be opening the products and reviewing them. If you pop over to her blog, you'll see that she's selling a lot of highly-raved products at very affordable prices (Urban Decay at S$15, OMG!) and there's some concern with the authenticity. I'll be testing and scrutinizing the items so I'll be writing up on how I feel about them and the authenticity on my part. Soon, after my exams I mean. Right now, I'm still swarmed by 3 more papers so there's simply no time for me to play with these new babies yet. But, I'll be uploading the swatches in the next post soon.
PLUS!
