Space NK

I am often tempted when Space NK has sales and I believe I placed this order as several items were on sale. In fact, all the full size items were sale items and then I picked some samples.

Essie Nail Polish

I picked up these two nail polishes from Boots after a tough day as a treat for my horrible nails. Why were they horrible? I had gel nails and it had been lifting for days so finally I peeled it off and of course, that left my nails vulnerable and horrible. So I went to Boots to look for something to heal and protect it.

Superdrug Haul #9

I am more of a boots girl, especially now that I no longer get 10% at Superdrug (cry) but I do still pop in to look at exclusive brands and frankly, I just like to pop in to look.

A foray into 3INA

I was curious about 3INA and I thought I would try out some bits after reading quite a bit on blogs a little while back. However, I could not remember what was great in this brand, so I bought a liquid lipstick on a sales assistant's recommendation, and a nail polish.

Empties #49

A few empties to quickly run through. There are some win and some that I will not repurchase.

Sephora Formula X

I actually forgot about the Sephora Formula X nail polishes until I was at Sephora picking up all my random bits and saw the display. I then proceeded to buy the whole system XCEL. When I read the promise of 10 days of chip-resistant colour, Gel-like shine, Advanced polish-plumping XCEL technology and New Xpert Strokes Brush, I wanted to try this system out.

silkygirl quikclean gentle nail polish remover

I bought this to help remove nail polish (COULD YOU GUESS?!) but in all seriousness, I like the Sephora sponge one to remove my fingers' nail polish but for toes, I had to go old school

innisfree love blossom kit for VIP

The nail polish colours are actually not the same in consistency. I find the pink so much easier to paint and apply than the pastel blue which is a real shame because I was immediately drawn to the blue because it is such a pretty blue shade!

The pink was easy to apply and 2 coats is plenty for a beautiful finish. The blue was a little streaky and I had to do at least 2 coats, sometimes 3 to get a proper coverage. The top coat was nothing to shout about, it worked fine but it is nothing special.

I am not a big fan or user of hand creams. I am just way too lazy. However, I am a sucker for anything small and this innisfree hydrangea hand cream is so small that it is super portable. I have tried this hand cream and so far it feels quite lightweight and no real stickiness. It smells very floral but I think it is nice.

I'll be honest, these cutesy stickers are SO adorable and totally have my heart. I love how little and cute they are and I don't even want to put them on my nails because then it is a one time usage! I am actually thinking of decorating my macbook and phone case with these!

I think it is really nice that innisfree rewards its members and this particular kit was for their VIP members (aka people who spend too much money there). I think it is a nice way for brands to treat their loyal customers!

Sephora haul (The States)

There was no way I could have gone all the way to the States and not go to Sephora, and the bag is actually different. It is made of sturdier material and the bags are smaller, the stripes are smaller too, but the haul is not smaller. Enough rambling about the shopping bag, let's dive into the haul!

Sephora Birthday Treat

Merry Christmas one and all! I hope you are having a delightful day with your family. I have scheduled a post and just to ensure that it is not a critical post, I decided to write about a recent haul from Sephora. So I went to Sephora just before my birthday, as if that was not going to end up in purchases. I just keep going back but I thought I might as well run you through what I bought.

Illamasqua haul

There was a sale on illamasqua so I hopped on the site and got it all delivered all the way to Malaysia. Crazy, I know.

empties #25

If you think this is all of this month's empties, I wouldn't blame you for this thought. Except this is only skincare. Granted, it is the biggest pile of them all!
