Mini LA Girl Haul + People’s Park OCEAN store chitchat!

Yesterday I had nothing to do and was really bored at home. So I tagged along with my mum and she drove us to People’s Park around Chinatown where everyday supplies are really cheap there. I bought my LA Girl cosmetics at this shop called OCEAN. If I am not wrong it is at level 3. Stuffs there are pretty cheap! The building is beside OG and had the big PEOPLE’s PARK sign on it.

The shop also carries VOV products. VOV is a famous Korean cosmetic brand, similar to nature republic, etude house, the face shop, etc. Their VOV products range around SGD$7.90 for a lipliner to SGD$22 for a lipgloss. I didn’t take much notice of the foundation because there were SO many people and their display of cosmetics is quite messy.

BUT! BUT! BUTT! I noticed something strange there! I saw that they sell the Skin 79 Beblesh Balm Hot Pink at the store and that caught my attention. I took it up and the pump was all weird and the prints on the bottle were all faded and messed up. The first thought that came into my head was that it was a fake one because I’m using the same BB cream and the pump does NOT look like that! It cost SGD$35.90 so do be careful of the products you are buying there and beware of fake cosmetics/skin care products.

Okay onto LA Girl cosmetics, quite a large range, I checked the expiry date of the cosmetics and it was good. Below are the products I bought.





Couldn't decide between the two pictures so i'll just upload two >.<




BOO! Only 2 items?! Yeah. As I said earlier my mum was with me so I couldn’t spend like 50 bucks on cosmetics. I bought a watch earlier too so I was kinda tight on budget. The lipstick I bought was LC536 Secret Admirer and BL554 Blushing for blush. The blush looks more baby pink than in photos, the shade is similar to the shade of the lipstick but less bright. I heard that the lipstick Secret Admirer was a really cute baby pink shade so I bought it but I swatched it and it looks more like a candy pink shade. Product reviews will be done as soon as I have time to test and try out. The blush was kind of an impulse purchase but hey, there’s no such thing as too much makeup yea?

I wanted to post this haul for you guys because the price is soooooo GOD DAMN appealing!!! The Lipstick was SGD$10 and the blush was SGD$15. I was like WHUTTTT! I’m pretty sure the last time I saw the lipstick prices at Guardian Pharmacies they were like SGD$19.90 each. Crazy, isn’t it? Then I went to the cashier to pay and it came out to be SGD$21! HOMG there’s even a discount! The Lipstick was SGD$8 and the blusher was SGD$12 after the discount. What a deal!

I checked the authenticity of the LA Girls but I can’t find any information on fake LA Girls cosmetics so I’m guessing it’s real? I know LA Girl is an inexpensive cosmetic brand so I presume it is logical for the cheap price. But all in all, I will use in caution and update you guys on the products and maybe write a review on them.

Have you guys been to people’s park before? I’m going back to snag some VOV lipliners. Any cheap cosmetics you’ve found? Share with me your thoughts! Sorry for the long nagging post…570 words! GEEZUS!

Review for Rimmel Vinyl Gloss in 111 Demure, 112 Steal My Kisses and113 Mischief

Review for Rimmel Vinyl Gloss

On the recent trip to Watsons, I picked up a few Rimmel lip glosses that were on 20% discount. The three Vinyl Glosses I picked were in shades 111 Demure, 112 Steal My Kisses and 113 Mischief. The lip glosses are applicator form for easy navigation of product onto lips.



Left to Right: Demure, Steal My Kisses, Mischief (below)

Swatches under normal room lighting (below) Left to Right: Demure, Steal My Kisses, Mischief



Swatches with flash (below) Left to Right: Demure, Steal My Kisses, Mischief



Swatches under daylighting (below) Left to Right: Demure, Steal My Kisses, Mischief



Demure is a candy milky baby pink shade in the bottle but comes out extremely sheer. The colour is very girly and will look very pretty topped over a baby pink lipstick.

Steal My Kisses is a pink with slight orange undertone that is darker and more pigmented than Demure.

Mischief looks purple in the bottle but comes out pink with purple undertones. It is more pigmented than Demure. It is very wearable despite the shocking purple colour in bottle. If you are looking for a lilac colour that is not too loud, this might be the one for you.



Pros:

These three colours are beautiful and extremely wearable. They do not dry out lips which is a pretty wonderful as I have sensitive and dry lips and pretty much all lipsticks and glosses I’ve tried dried out my lips, making my fingers itch as I restrain from peeling them. The glosses are extremely affordable; S$12.90 each. Definitely buildable for Steal My Kisses and Mischief, not that much for Demure as it is very sheer. The lasting power is around 3 hours if drinking only water. Reapplication is required after meals.



Cons:

These glosses are not very pigmented so I will not recommend it if you have dark/ pigmented lips as the colours will probably not show up. But for the price I still do think that these glosses are reasonable and the colour payoff from the Steal My Kisses and Mischief are quite good.



Yadda Yadda:

Retails for S$12.90 at Watsons for 5ml or 0.17 fl oz. I bought it at a 20% discount and paid only S$10.00 for each gloss. Will I repurchase? YES! I already bought backups of Steal My Kisses and Mischief. My current HG lipglosses! Hurry, go snag a few now and share your thoughts! Ratings: 4.5/5 Stars.

Review for The Face Shop Healing Lip Butter 02 Avocado

Review for The Face Shop Healing Lip Butter 02 Avocado

I bought this lip butter at The Face Shop around 3 or 4 months ago so I’ve been using it since. It comes in 2 flavours; Avocado and Lavender. I purchased the Avocado one because the Lavender one smelt floral but more like those dried flowers scent which I really didn’t like. The Avocado lip butter smells like candy…I can’t really tell what the smell is, more of a candy + bubblegum scent? But it smells pretty amazing! The lip butter has a green tint in the metal container but comes out transparent (absolutely no colour at all).









With daylighting



With flash




Pros:

I’ve been using it every day for 3 months now and I really like it. The product will last you a long time as I haven’t even used half of the product yet. The lasting power is equivalent to any lip balm, 2 to 3 hours with drinking only water. Requires reapplying after meals. My lips are really dry and this product really does heal and condition my lips. My lips doesn’t crack and dry out as much as before. The size is appropriate, able to fit in makeup bags and pockets in jeans. (Measurements: 4.3cm in diameter and 1.2cm in height.)



Cons:

The lip butter is considered quite pricey (S$16.90) but is definitely worth the try for people with dry lips. The metal container may be considered unhygienic but it is fine with me. After applying to lips you will require a tissue to wipe off excess product from your finger which is quite a hassle when apply on the go. Therefore it is not as convenient as a stick/applicator form. The Lip Butter contains fragrance so peeps sensitive to fragrances are warned!



Yadda Yadda:

The Avocado Lip Butter retails for S$16.90 (if I’m not wrong) for 14g/ 0.49 oz of product. I will rate this product a 4/5 stars. I’m not sure if it is still in stores but do give it a try and tell me your thoughts!
