Snoe White No. 1 Extra Strength Kojic Beauty Bar

Truth be told, I have my fair share of unprotected sun exposure. The ugly consequence of all my recent summer escapades and failure to constantly re-apply my sunblock? - scrofulous tan lines. To help this unevenness disappear ASAP, I opted to bathe with something that claims to be little bit more potent in the skin lightening department; - Snoe White No. 1 Extra Strength Kojic Beauty Bar.

Essie

Essie Turquoise & Caicos Nail Polish

It's hard to look at this polish and not wish to be in a swimsuit caressing some tropical waves. Summer may be nearing its end, but my tips and toes are still not ready to dismiss wearing fun, pastel colors. Yep, I'm still in denial phase (season-wise) and even those thunderstorms won't change that.

Nars Dragon Girl Velvet Matte Lip Pencil

If you love Taylor Swift (like I do!), you probably already know how she professed her huge love for this lip color from Nars. Like any hardcore fan, I immediately went to my fave Nars counter (at Rustan's Shang), swatched Dragon Girl on my arm and uttered a silent sigh of admiration. No wonder it's one of Taylor Swift's must-have make up products!

Nars Golshan Satin Lip Pencil

Nars may describe Golshan as "spiced wine", but I'd say it's more of a deep warm brick-red with just the right amount of brown undertones. I love that it doesn't lean too red - making it not too bold for a casual work day, nor excessively brown - making you look twice your age. Really, the perfect ratio between these hues makes Golshan, worth owning.

Mac Vegas Volt Lipstick

Vegas Volt has been on my list for ages. It's part of Mac permanent line, but is not readily available at our local counters (what a shame!). So armed with my confidence that I could rock this shade, plus an x-number of times googling swatches, I blindly ordered it online. Now, did I make an awesome purchase? I'll tell y'all in a bit.

Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shine Lipstick in SS PK346

Decently opaque, shiny, hydrating and very comfortable on the lips; - these words sum up my adoration about this lipstick. Beside the fact that it is housed in a clear bullet tube that allows me to actually see the color, the formulation of this lipstick is indeed.. supreme.

Clarins

CLARINS White Plus Total Luminescence

With the huge number of skin puritans surrounding our everyday lives, it is inevitable that we get exposed to factors that damage our skin in one way or another. Stress, fatigue, UV rays, air pollution all contribute to how our skin interacts with light, impacting its radiance and translucence  And since living under a rock is not a feasible option, we need to fight the battle against skin damage by being diligent with our skin care regimen. Just like any battle, we need to be armed with the only the best. On that note, say hello to the new era of whitening with Clarins' White Plus Total Luminescence.

Nars Lodhi Satin Lip Pencil

When my ever reliable Nars MUA informed me that the new Nars Satin Lip Pencils were already available at the Nars Shang counter, I scrammed. With a giddy heart and an intention to get Yu (shocking pink), I was at the Nars counter in no time. Unfortunately, I swatched Yu and Mac Girl About Town next to each other (see swatch) and got the dupe alert! So I skipped Yu, and followed my Nars MUA recommendation and settled for Lodhi instead. Let me tell you, best decision (and reco) ever!

Beauty HAUL! (Nars, China Glaze, Etude House, Etc)

Every now and then, we all need to indulge in a bit of retail therapy. I wasn't in my happiest mood lately, so I thought shopping (and ice cream) might help uplift my state. And as superficial as it may sound, hauling (and again, ice cream) really helped me feel better (in a way). Hopefully, you'd feel the positive vibes in this beauty haul post too. Enjoy!

Chanel Make Up HAUL!

I need to confess something. I have been secretly drafting a Chanel lemming list on my Starbucks planner. I know it's a slippery slope, but I feel I need to spoil myself a little soon. The decision to finally make that purchase snapped when my BB cream and my setting powder reached their last days. Spending on things that I actually use on my face on an everyday basis makes an indulgent purchase.. uhm worth making, right? (wink!)

So enough of my lame excuses and cheers to my Chanel make up haul!
