Sephora Singapore Beauty Haul During Black Card Member Sale 2016

I've never thought I would spent so much time at Singapore Sephora black card member sale during my last trip. Retail therapy at Sephora always feel good. I get to try so many products under one roof. And there are always Sephora MUA around to help you when in doubt.

Singapore Sephora Makeup Haul 2016

So let's get started with the make up that I've bought.

Nyx Avant Pop Noveau Chic

Nyx Avant Pop (Nouveau Chic)

S$25.60 (after 20% discount)

I've always been a lookout for pigmented eyeshadow palette that doesn't burn a hole in the pocket. After trying some drugstore brands available, I felt they were still not quite pigmented. So I thought why not try Nyx Avant Pop which was recommended by one of my favorite youtuber emilynoel83. And true enough the colors were very pigmented and it looks better when using an eye primer which I always do.

For that price you are getting 10 pigmented colors and I must say Nyx is very generous with the pan size of each color. I chose Nouveau Chic because the colors were great for daily wear. If you are adventurous with colors, Nyx do have 'Surreal My Heart' and 'Art Throb'.

Tarte Tartelette Tease from Sephora Singapore

Tarte Tartelette Tease 

S$28.00 from sephora.sg

I just couldn't resist not to buy Tartelette Tease. I was contemplating whether to get the Tartelette in Bloom Clay Palette but could not bring myself to commit the price without trying a smaller version of Tarte eyeshadows.

I had no regrets getting this at all. Firstly, the size is very travel friendly. Secondly, the colors are super gorgeous and thirdly the texture is very buttery and pigmented. Love this palette. Of course it was not the cheapest palette for this size but I just knew I had to get it since it was member's sale. 

Nyx Lip Products

Nyx Lip Products

S$49.60 (after 20% discount)

I picked up 2 Intense Butter Gloss in Chocolate Crepe and Toasted Marshmallow , a soft matte lip cream in Prague, a butter lipstick in Root Beer Float and a nude pink lip liner. My first time trying out the Intense Butter Gloss and I must admit I'm really impressed by the texture of the gloss. The formula is soft and buttery, the color intensity was on point. If you have not try yet, I highly recommend these.

If you are into matte lip cream, I would say try out Nyx Soft matte lip cream. The colors were very lasting on my lips and minimum touch up was needed. I'm intending to get more colors once Sephora stock up all the colors. 

Nyx butter lipstick is very moisturising and I love the color Root Beer Float. It is definitely my current favorite go to lip color. 

Nyx Setting Spray from Sephora

Nyx Dewy Finish Setting Spray 

S$11.20 (after 20% discount)

I bought this because there were so many good reviews. The mist was pretty fine in my opinion, but honestly I don't see any difference after I sprayed on my face. Guess I won't be repurchasing this any sooner.

Korean Moonshot Multi Protection UV Bouncer SPF 50+ PA+++

Moonshot Multi Protection UV Bouncer SPF 50+ PA+++

S$37.60 (after 20% discount)

This is a Korean brand by YG Entertainment and I bought this because the Sephora MUA recommended this. Previously I've been using Laura Mercier oil free foundation primer. The staying power wasn't as good as I wanted it to be, guess my t-zone was pretty oily. I'm quite surprised by the Moonshot primer lasting power. I can go through half a day without blotting off the oil on my nose which never happened to me. If I'm on make up the whole day, I only need to touch up once which to me pretty says it all. The texture is very light and non greasy at all. For 50ml the price was really good.

This wraps up my Sephora Beauty Haul 2016. I'm looking forward to their 2016 Christmas collections already. In the meantime stay healthy and beautiful. 

How To Clean Makeup Brushes | Where To Store Makeup Brushes

Hello gorgeous readers. I'm back with another beauty post. Today is about make up brushes. What do I clean with and how I store them.

Make Up Brushes Cleansing and Storage

Not too long ago I bought two amazing products to help me organized my brushes. They are non other than the brush drying stand and the acrylic box to store the brushes.

Brushes Cleansing Routine

I always head to Daiso to get my brush cleaning liquid and because I don't want to spend a bomb on Sigma brush cleaning mat, I found a substitute that was equally good and is only S$2. 

What I usually do was to pour some of the liquid into a small bowl, dipped my unclean brushes into the liquid and brush it onto the pink mat and followed by washing under running water. 

Drying Stand for Make Up Brushes

After which I hang it upside down on the drying holder. 

Please do not hang the brushes upright as the water will seep through the brushes joint, the glue will be affected and after a while the brushes may split. With the brush holder, I can wash all my brushes at one go.

I usually wash my brushes once a week so to avoid germs contamination. By having clean brushes, I can avoid pimples on my face.

Beautiful acrylic organizer to hold clean brushes

Once the brushes are dried, I will store the clean brushes into this beautiful acrylic box. Firstly, my brushes will not consume dust anymore yehhhh and secondly the beautiful pearls in the box were so nice to look at, don't you think so. I think I need to buy more acrylic boxes to store other make up hahahha.

I bought my acrylic organizer and brush holder from Taobao.com and if you find it a hassle to read Chinese words you can hop over to SgShop for help and they will ship over for you.

Thanks for dropping by. Remember stay beautiful and healthy.
