Sephora Haul


I received my order last Wednesday I think? But I wasn't able to make a post right away. If you follow me on Twitter, then you know how busy I've been at work.. 16 hours almost everyday. It was insane!! I did five 16 hours in two weeks. Doesn't seem a lot but it was just so tiring. Stressful too "/ I feel like I have no more social life..

Seriously, after work, I go straight home.. Then wake up to my next work. It's like a routine already.. no fun.. "/ Sometimes, it's depressing to not have that much friends around here..


SEPHORA FF SALE
I only got 3 things.. I got the Clarisonic Mia in Pink, Amazing Cosmetics Concealer in Medium Beige, and Stila Kajal Eyeliner in Topaz.



Stila Kajal Eyeliner in Topaz is a nice creamy color. It's less harsh than the white eyeliner. I bought this because I want to look more awake. Haha. It brightens up my eyes. :] Will review it soon. But it's so worth my $18 bucks :]



Amazing Cosmetics Concealer is a very creamy concealer. Easy to blend. Will review this soon also :] Good for dark circles, redness, and hiding blemishes. Even tattoo [ though I don't have any ].




Last one is the Clarisonic Mia in Pink. I was so excited, I tried it last night. 1st experience with it was kinda confusing you know because I used a timer for my forehead, chin and nose.. ahahaha.. But it made my skin so soft and smooth. As for my acne, it kind of dried the next day. Scars are still there. I will update you guys again next time.

Very portable, and good for people who likes to travel because the plug is universal :]





It comes with the Cleanser, an extra brush, a pouch and the charger. It only has one speed. I would love to invest in the full size Clarisonic someday :]

If you think about it, it is very worth splurging.
Good skin = Less Make Up = Less Money you will spend.


I remember the 1st time I started paying attention to  my skin. I had horrible skin before, [ well, I still don't have perfect skin but it was way worse before ] and wouldn't want to wash my face at night. I had so much acne on my T-zone and I didn't care.

Then I discovered the world of make up. I started wearing make up and my acne got worse. "/ I bought the MAC Studio Fix Liquid Foundation and set it with MAC Studio Fix Powder. Haha. Double Foundation! It was the only way to hide my ugly skin.



Then I started paying attention to my skin, using mild cleanser day and night, it started going away, then I was able to stop using foundation.

Start Caring for your skin now. It's not yet too late. Remember, Prevention is better than cure. :]

yes, thanks for noting down on "start caring for your skin NOW" that's so true!!!

Iyah, i've been lemming for Amazing cosmetics concealer for the longest time, been searching via ebay and I don't find any sellers that sells with good shipping rate..so I'll just have to wait..can't wait to read for your reviews on it!!!

omg babe, what are you using for your skin right now?! I want to clear my skin too! I have really bad t-zone im still breakin out because ive been not getting any sleeep :/ How's the origin working for ya? Your skin loooks perfect now! I dont seee the acne anymore! Good for you hun! Nice haul! :)

Jbreezybaby on November 1, 2009 1:05 AM said...

you know when i start using Clinique's acne solution I really didn't break out until like a month later. Do you think its just something else that caused the acne? Since I broke out with it, I try changing my sleeping and eating pattern and I still kept breakin out! You think I should give it a try again at least? It wasn't that bad I guess, I just get discourage easily :/

wuzzyangel on November 1, 2009 1:18 AM said...

Your equation makes perfect sense! :)

And nice little haul! I still have to decide if I'm getting anything. Don't have much time left I know! LOL!

Can't wait for your reviews on all the products!! Keep your head up with work! It's tough! :)

Mona on November 1, 2009 1:21 AM said...

you got the clarisonic! i'm still thinking about that hahahha one more day till the sale ends.

MAC foundation is way to heavy to be worn everyday :(

Dina (XYYan) on November 1, 2009 1:04 AM said...

nice haul... can't wait for your reviews...
i'm breaking out like crazy too, but luckily it's better now...

acutelife on November 1, 2009 1:13 AM said...

agree! prevention is better than curing :) I never took care of my skin before, it was only after I graduated from university (how scary isnt it) that I start to do what my mum always tell me to do XD
I'd like to know how the concealer works on you :)

Lulu on November 1, 2009 1:30 AM said...

yayy we are clarisonic PINK mia twins now :) I am loving mine as well :) and you are so right, it's a good investment, because clean skin is worth more than anything else! I hope your skin will get better and better w/ your current regime :) i feel like I can already feel a difference after a week of using it!

I hope the concealer works for you. I've been really curious about it as well. Please let us know what you think of it, in particular, I want to know if it creases easily under the eyes because I mainly want concealers to cover up my dark circles.

I have that stila liner in topaz too, you just reminded me to take it out and start using it again :) I really love the soft color, and you are right, it's not as harsh as white!

Awesome Sephora haul!

nice haul babe =] I heard a lot of good things about Amazing Cosmetics. I can't wait for your review on it =]

*aly on November 1, 2009 8:12 AM said...

I like your good skin equation, makes perfect sense. This post feels like a wakeup call for me cuz my skin's in terrible condition and somehow, the worse it is, the more makeup I put on and the process continues... =)

Imee on November 1, 2009 8:24 AM said...

cant wait for that review on the stila!!! i really want it but $18 bucks is a stretch for one eyeliner.

paperdollrevenge on November 1, 2009 9:41 AM said...

Hey babe! Sasa shipping is really cheap! Only $6 to the US and free if you spend more than $75. Only thing is shipping is not that fast, I ordered 2 weeks ago and the status says it just left on the 31st, but then again I had used the free shipping promotion (I think it's expired now).

And I agree! Skincare is so important, I want to have good skin from now until forever. Definitely worth investing in your face because it's where people always look and that way you also won't have to rely on heavy makeup.

Aww you've been working a lot of hours lately, I know that's really tiring but it's good to be busy making money rather than out spending it, hehe.

Btw, my friend and I are thinking of going to the outlets after Thanksgiving! Are you going to do that again this year?

xphoebelinax on November 1, 2009 9:49 AM said...

i can't wait for your review of the amazing concealer sweets! i've been wanting that since i saw how good it was at hiding ANYTHING! :)

Edna on November 1, 2009 10:12 AM said...

:) YAY you got your Mia! You shoulda told me you're eying the Stila Topaz liner. I have it but I never use mine!!

izumi on November 1, 2009 10:42 AM said...

i agree! good skin = less make up = less money!

love your buys :D can't wait for your reviews!

Chommie on November 1, 2009 4:27 PM said...

the amazing concealer is on my TO GET list! lemme know how that works for you! :) i heard so many good things about it!

Jo on November 1, 2009 6:06 PM said...

ooh my friend just purchased the amazing concealer. gotta try it out!

FabDiva20 on November 1, 2009 6:59 PM said...

I have heard good things about the Clarasonic products! I do want to try it someday! Love your Sephora haul! I too had horrible skin a few years ago and I'm so glad that my skin is getting better and better each day!

Natalie Nguyen on November 1, 2009 7:33 PM said...

Oh yay! You got the clarisonic! That's great! I like that yours is smaller and good for travelling. I mean universal plug? I wish mine had that. I only use one speed and never change it anyway, so I don't think it'd be worth buying the full version. But then again that's me, who never rarely changes settings for anything hahaha!

Sher on November 1, 2009 7:37 PM said...

I know how you feel sometimes, minus the working 16 hours >_< Hope you get time to balance things out, its important!
also let us know how you like the clarisonic once you use it more :)

charlene-ann on November 1, 2009 10:08 PM said...

so you know i love it when you post hauls :) btw i really wanna try that concealer...

Jannie on November 1, 2009 11:49 PM said...

awesome hauls, iyah. :) hmm... amazing cosmetics. my first time hearing of this brand. i am looking forward to your review about its concealer. :)

if it weren't for work, we could've gone trick-or-treating too. hehe... it's too exhausting though. giving out candy is more relaxing. lol.

i totally agree with what you said. prevention is better than cure. prevention at least won't leave any scars or marks. unlike the aftermath of cure. ugh. i hate those craters acne had left me. :P

Pop Champagne on November 2, 2009 10:57 AM said...

great mini haul! And I agree that prevention is better than cure... I wish I knew the skin knowledge I have now back in highschool. I think some of the dark spots are the result of me treating my skin bad when I was 15!

DENiSE on November 2, 2009 10:57 AM said...

I want that clarisonic too. I like that its pink lol. I'm so shallow.
I agree. I don't wear much makeup anymore because my skin has been really bad lately.

Jannie on November 2, 2009 6:16 PM said...

hey, iyah. thanks for the sweet compliment you left on my latest post. it means a whole lot to me. :) hope you're enjoying your day and i'm sure you're enjoying those awesome hauls too. take care. :)

DSK Steph on November 3, 2009 8:15 PM said...

I bought the amazing concealer too! I used it for the first time today! OMG it's LOVE, I got medium beige, which did you get?

Shop N' Chomp on November 4, 2009 10:31 AM said...

I want that Clarisonic! I hate my old clunky one..lol. Looking forward to your reviews, hun! :)

lindah on November 5, 2009 6:40 PM said...

I'm gonna get the clarasonic's next year during the sale hopefully.. I'm not ready to really take full care of my skin yet! LOL :) Tell me how topaz works for you! I've really been lemming for it but just haven't thought it was absolutely necessary yet :) I'm going to post up my haul and show you since I think you were most interested in what I got! I didn't forget, just haven't had much time :(
