SWATCHES: Topshop Make Up's Crayons!!!

Hey! So umm... I'm still on my little self-declared break from studying (Starting again tomorrow, I promise!). The whole family went out for a little Mothers' Day celebration and then, of course, the ladies scooted off to do some shopping (Sis and I are in DIRE need of some major retail therapy. We bought little though. Offline shopping is a bor-*yawns*-ring.).

We visited Topshop at Knightsbridge, but I wasn't really in the mood to try on clothes because gawd! The weather's hell! So... Heh. I zoomed straight to the makeup section. I wasn't expecting to be wowed by anything but lo and behold...

from left to right: Topshop's Crayons in Woodland, Midnight, Black Jack, Satchel, Black Jack, Lazy Days, Stardust




Aren't they the most gorgeous liners EVER?!? I absolutely ADORE the sparkles like crazy and I literally couldn't tear my eyes away from my hand. I kept going "WOW! Cheryl! LOOK AT THE SPARKLES!!!" and she got so bored with me.

I don't usually look at liners because I have got like... Only a gazillion Urban Decay's ones, of which I only use 2 (Bourbon and Zero.) lately. But wow, wow and triple the wows! I LOVE Midnight especially! Mum loves it too! And hell yeah I got some! *grins*



I got Midnight (I HAD TO!!!), Lazy Days (Love the name of it...) and Woodland! The crayons are 0.08 oz and going at $13 each. Woodland costs $16 though. I have no idea why and I didn't ask either so... Anyone knows why?

Have you got anything from Topshop Make Up?!? (:

SWATCHES: Barry M's Lip Paint 147, Peachy Pink



Say hello to Lip Paint 147!



This is quite possibly the peachiest lipstick that I have ever owned (Not that I own many lippies.). But I'm not saying that it's a true peach. There are definitely some pink undertones to it and I look like a California girl wearing it. Not a look that I'm going for at the moment, but I'll play around with it some more and it is such a pretty colour by itself, isn't it?



Unfortunately, this lip paint has the WORST consistency ever. Not that I wasn't warned (I do my research before buying a product. *nods seriously*), but you know. There are some things which you just have to experience it yourself before you learn...



And moving on with life... The lip paint applies on patchy. You can totally see it in the photos. I did brush my lips and apply tons of lip balm before applying it and still... PATCHY. ): It is also extremely drying and it's a real shame because I love the colour so much! But I rather have on a not-so pretty lip colour than dry lips. :\

Have you tried any Barry M's Lip Paints? (:

HAUL: Love, ASOS and Shopbop.

Wohoo!!! I'm done with two papers (Say goodbye to Calculus FOREVERRR!) and my next paper's on the 16th so... Here's an entry!

Other than being a total makeup junkie, I'm also an accessories junkie (My to-go shop: Accessorize.). So I came into a little money recently (Thank you, government!) and I set aside some for the future and the remaining... Well, I decided to 'invest' in a pair of earrings(Dad says I'm talking bull here. Whatever. He's not a girl. Ha! I love you, Daddy!).



Yes, I got my earrings from Shopbop. Mum got herself a pair of earrings too and a cardigan. Orders over $100 entitles you to free shipping within 3 days!!! How awesome is that?!? And just LOOK at the package the stuff came in!!! Everything's so nicely done (Though, it is rather a waste of resources...)!

And tadahhh!!!



Marc by Marc Jacob Logo Disc Stud Earrings! I have been wanting them for the LONGEST time!

Remember how I said I feel 'powerful' when I have my nails painted red? I didn't have time to paint them for the 2 papers I had today, so I wore my earrings for good luck. Fingers crossed that they work!

I paid around 50 for them, which is WAY cheaper than the earrings which I saw at the Singapore's Marc Jacobs outlet. THANK YOU ONLINE SHOPPING!!!





One other brand which I absolutely love is Cath Kidston! Gorgeous, gorgeous, utterly gorgeous designs!!! This pair was on sale over at ASOS and so, yes. I had to get them.

It's Cath Kidston (Like that's gonna explain everything...).

Haha. Alrighty. Tonight calls for a little rest with Pretty Little Liars (YES, I GOT MY SIS HOOKED ON IT!!! HOLAAA!!!) and The Vampire Diaries!
