My Mini Singapore Fashion & Beauty Haul

I went to Singapore recently and stayed there for almost a week. As much as I want to shop my heart out, I realized that with the hefty price tag of almost everything in Singapore, there is a huge probability that I will get broke in no time if I will stick with my shop-now-hop-later plan. So after careful evaluation and fear of getting hungry and cashless, I decided to just try to save a little and shop a day before I fly out of Singapore.

I prioritized shopping for pasalubongs for my mom and lola. Then I used every Singaporean dollar that was left on my purse to buy a few treats for myself. :)

Let's start with the only fashion item in this haul!

A crisp black and white blazer from Wanko. The label is a bit on the expensive side, but oh-boy their clothes are super worth every penny.

and now, let's do make up, scents and other beauty things!

Mac Flamingo Lipstick

I almost did not get Mac Flamingo lipstick from the recent Iris Apfel collection because it's a lustre. And as much as I adore the feel of lustre lipsticks on my lips (smooth and hydrating), I feel that they don't really do much on my pigmented lips. If I need a sheer wash of color on my puckers, I have a ton of colored lip balms (which are definitely less expensive) that will serve that purpose. You see, I changed over the years. I sold most of my lustre lipsticks and preferred full pack color on my lips.

But I didn't know what exactly triggered me in getting Flamingo. Funny because I bought it even without testing it on my lips (blame lazy and germ phobic me). Now that I think about it more, it might be perhaps because most people say it's comparable to Ever Hip (which I missed) or maybe because the hype of the whole Iris Apfel collection swoon me over.

Nevertheless, bottom line is, I am extremely grateful that I got Flamingo lipstick. It's gorgeous on the tube. And it is even more appealing on my lips!

Snoe: Stylish, Premium & Asian!

I totally shifted gears with my skin and body regimen when I came across Snoe Beauty. Ever since that one afternoon, I can never have enough of their products (proof: my hauls). I remember, I even went all the way to Galleria just to stock up on my Snoe fixes. Good thing they already opened a stall at Landmark, Trinoma which is so much more accessible to me.

Helmed by sisters-in-law Jen Diaz and Gen Gerodias (who are both equally gorgeous,btw), Snoé is the emerging local beauty and cosmetics brand that presents "every Asian woman with a new confidence in the promise and reward of beauty, for less," says Gerodias.

Benefit

Benefit Sugarbomb Blush

Without a doubt, Sugarbomb is my favorite blush from Benefit (and is one of my all-time favorite blushes too). I find it funny actually because I never really had high hopes for this blush to begin with. Yes I've read quite a lot of positive reviews about Sugarbomb, but for some odd reason, I never had the urge to purchase one for myself like ASAP. I can vividly remember how it even took me days before testing it out when my Benefit order came. Lets just say that I was so in love with Bella Bamba that I kinda underestimated the beauty of Sugarbomb. Big mistake! Because the moment I swiped it across my cheekbones, I became euphoric. It was so gorgeous that it instantly went up to "Holy Grail" status.

Mac Pink Pigeon Lipstick

Most girls fall into nude shades. But I'm definitely not part of that league. I'm more drawn to colors. I'm naturally pale and colors bring out the more alive version of myself. And if there is one particular color that I tend to favor more (at least on make up department), it's pink!

I am and perhaps will always be drawn to pink lipsticks for the rest of my lifetime. It's like it's already innate in me to adore them. And the more vibrant, the better (since I can just tone it down with a weaker lipstick shade/gloss)!

So it didn't come as a surprise that I had my eyes on Mac Pink Pigeon lipstick. In fact, it was the shade that I was most excited about in the recent Iris Apfel collection. In short, it was on top of my make up to-buy list!
