HAUL!!!

So I was at Walmart yesterday and I totally went wild and bought a bunch of stuffs (beauty products, to be specific...-.-). Of course I am so excited and can't wait to share with the world~!!!=D 


Where should I start? Ummm, how about Hard Candy! 

 

I just knew recently that Hard Candy is a sister company of Urban Decay and that just makes me even more excited!! I have been wanting to try Hard Candy's stuffs and I actually saw their primer yesterday. I was so tempted to buy that but then I told myself:" You don't need a PRIMER! You already have a sunblock that works as a PRIMER!" I'm glad that I did stop myself from reaching the primer, but obviously, this voice of mine stopped working shortly... 

Anyways, back to Hard Candy! So I picked up 2 of their blushes - Blush Crush Baked Blush, in #125 living doll (back) and #127 honeymoon (front). I adore their packaging! 

Next, 

I have been wanting to try more of Ecotools' brushes and I picked up the powder brush and deluxe concealer brush. The powder brush is just so soft! 

I also picked up a smudge brush from Spa Resources. I've never tried any brushes from them but I think they have completely re-packaged all of their brushes and I just happened to need a smudge eye brush. I will have to say, their new packaging is pretty much "copying" BOBBI BROWN's. 

Actually, I just realized this is my very first Cover Girl product!@@ 

A single eye shadow - #760 tapestry taupe. 

I just love neutrals!! =) 

I tried this on today and I think I like it! 

I like how it could be worn alone and still be very pretty because usually I don't have time for more than 1 eye shadow...-.- 

Here it comes Maybelline!!! I think Maybelline is the very first drug store brand that I use and I still like them a lot! After hearing rumors that the Dream Mousse Concealer is discontinuing, I just can't wait to pick it up! And of course, I got distracted and also picked up the Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation. It is a cream-whipped foundation and it is so creamy!!! I also picked up 2 of their Dream Mousse Blush - Pink Frosting and Rose Petal. I wasn't too much of a blush person before, but recently I am starting to get into it and therefore I want to try different blushes. 

Maybelline mascara has always been my love. I was going to pick up this new One By One mascara later because I have so many mascaras sitting in my cabinet. (I am a mascara junkie...-.-) However, when I saw the price tag at Walmart, OK, I just have to pick it up NOW and then use it LATER. =P (It's so much cheaper!!) 


Then last but not least, I've also decided to try out this Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Dark-Circle Roller. This is the one with concealing effects. I've never tried any eye rollers before so I'm excited to try this out! =) 


So that's it, haha, ya, I told you I went wild...

Irreplaceable Taste

This is a lifelong addiction. 
An irreplaceable taste. 
It is VITA Lemon Tea Drink. 

This is a habit that I carried on from HK. When I first moved to Canada, I was forced to wean on it as it was not available to me. However, last year my friend got me hook up to it again!!! It is such a comforting drink to me. I just cannot stop myself from reaching the fridge...... 

Then this year, I've moved to a new city and I haven't found any places selling it. I stocked up 2 boxes of Lemon Tea Drink and was very satisfied whenever I check my cupboard. 

Good times always come to an end. I am sipping the second last carton while typing this blog post... What should I do without u??? 

I'm on a Coca-Cola Kick!

Yes, I'm on a total kick of this little red thing...... 

I purposely picked up these 100 calories cans instead of the regular ones, not because I'm on diet or what so ever, but simply due to the fact that the more I make it available to me, the more I will drink. -.- (oh, and aren't these little ones cuter??) 

Extra calories is one thing, more to add are added sugars, caffeine, phosphoric acid...you name it! Not trying to say we should all just avoid it, but drinking them on a regular basis is certainly not a good thing. 

Anyhow, I hope this kick is coming to an end soon.......-.-

Project Pan (?)

Happy Chinese New Year!!! It is the year of Rabbit!!! My year, haha =] 

(Adorable! Came across this during google search!)

What is better than starting a year with a project pan? 
Now, I think technically this is not really a project pan because I think this term is used to describe "finishing up make-up products" and to be honest, none of these products are make-ups. However, I am still gonna name it "project pan" because I think you can modify the rules? haha XD 


Anyways, this all starts with the fact that I always have some sorts of "back-up" products sitting in my bathroom and quite often, I will use them for a while, and then switch to some other new products because I just could NOT resist the temptations!!! (sales, new formulas....you name it!!!) >< And the cycle goes on and on...... So as a result, I could never finish up any products!!!!! 


Not only this is such a waste of $$$, I really do need to clear up some of my "stocks" (so that I can go and try new products again =P ). 


My Rules: 
- I have to use up products from the same category until there is no more "back-ups" 
- I could only purchase products for the categories that have no "back-ups" 
- Includes bath & body products, hair products, skin care, face products
(I didn't include make-ups because I really don't have too many, and I don't think I could ever use up an eye shadow?!!) 




In fact, my project pan has reached 11 products a few days ago!!! YEAH~~~~ 
Well, the main reason is that most of these products were running low to start with. =P But they count, right?? Now I can finally remove them from my bathroom! 


Quick list: 
1) LUX crystal diamond shampoo 
2) LUX crystal diamond conditioner 
3) Olay body wash + creme ribbons with almond oil 
4) Bioderma Hydrabio moisturising toning lotion 
5) Curel itch defense advanced ceramide therapy 
6) Vaseline problem skin therapy 
7) L'Oreal gentle waterproof eye and lip makeup remover 
8) Tenosix Acne Blemish Cream 
9) Dr. Swiss BB Skin Power White Serum 
10) Laneige Water Bank Cream 1_EX
11) Missha cleansing oil (?) <-- the writings were all washed off and I don't know the exact product name 




I'm feeling so good now~ =D 




P.S. I cracked today and bought some nail polishes, 1 mascara, 1 eye shadow and a body wash. I have no more "back-ups" for body wash so I think it's okay for my to buy 1? And I got this because it's on clearance for $2.49!!!
