Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette

Hey dolls,
     It's been a long time since I have posted anything on my blog. I have been really busy with both working 2 jobs and going back to school part time to get my professional designation. Today, I am taking a break from both working and school. I want to post something I recently got from Sephora, it is the the new Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette. I think it is still a VIB Rouge exclusive right now, but it should be available very soon to all Sephora shoppers. I don't know whether I have said before or not, I have been loving the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Dim Infusion for the last a few months and it's been a staple item of my makeup routine other than my Becca Tint Shimmer Souffle in Lychee/Opal. I was quite excited when I saw Christine from temptalia.com post that Hourglass is releasing this new LE palette, I am also very glad since I don't own any other colour from this palette. So of course I signed up for the 'email when it's in stock' and bought it as soon as I received in the email from Sephora at 12am in the morning.
     The palette includes three colours, one of them are limited edition and exclusive to this palette. The other two are from the permanent collection.

and here is a comparison with the regular single Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush, the size of each blush is smaller than the single, but who can easily use up a blush. To be honest, I don't even know I will ever use anyone of these up. 


I hope you all had a great day!! TTYL love!!


Collective SEPHORA haul

Hey guys,
     I have been busy looking for a job the last a few weeks, now I need to get back to my blog and make it better. I have done quite a lot of Sephora trips since I came back from my vacation. Today, I'm gonna write a collective haul blog on what I have got so far.
First thing I got is the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hr blush in Captivating. I don't really own a lot of these Tarte blushes and I've been fall in love with coral/peach colour for summer once again. It is described on the website a "warm peach". To me, it looks corally pink :P

And here is the swatch on my arm.

My NARS radiant creamy concealer is getting a bit dry and patchy on me, so I decided I need a new concealer that is more moisturizing. I saw the Marc Jacobs Beauty has a brand new one and it's in pot which is a plus to me since I love using a brush and dip it in. It's way more sanitized than using my finger :P



Here is a comparison of the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla vs. the Marc Jacobs Remarcable concealer in 1 Awake.

Then, I oversaw Leanne (Instagram account: loveforskincare) posting picture of these bright neon lipsticks from Sephora Collection, I was so draw into the colour so I decided to go and grab a few. I got the colour "cougar" and "samba". OMG, they are so vibrant, and I love it so much. I've seen from the review on Sephora website some girl said "cougar" is the perfect Nicki Minaj neon pink, I think she is right.


Here is the swatch from left to right Samba and then Cougar.

sorry for posting this too late, I have been really busy with both school and two jobs. Have a great night gurls!!
