Dropped by the Rockwell Bazaar. Bought a couple of Leyende products and one full-size backup jar of Bare Escentuals foundation in Golden Medium.

Descriptions from the Leyende products' packaging:

O'Hara Lavender Body Bar: Soothing lavender essential oils combined with skin-softening organic sweet almond oil give a luxurious lather in the shower, perfect after a long day.

Cool Hand Soup: Hand sanitizer with organic sugarcane alcohol and aloe vera extract.

MAC haul

I bought Studio Fix Fluid Foundation and Select SPF15 Foundation, both in NC40, for mixing with my NC37. I can wear NC37 straight but it can be a tad light under some kinds of lighting, while NC40 is a tad dark, so I'll be mixing them.

Descriptions from the MAC website:
Powder Blush in Harmony: Muted rose-beige brown
Eyeshadow in Dreammaker: Frosty yellow gold (Starflash)
Eyeshadow in Retrospeck: Bleached blonde (Lustre)
Lip Pencil in Stripdown: Creamy brown-beige
Cremestick Liner in Creamola: Soft tan

UGloGirl full-size foundations

Got two full sizes of UGloGirl's foundation. I love the color match and the smooth, natural finish so I got a backup. The packaging is so cute and girly!


Here's a closeup of the foundations:

Adorned With Grace roadtest

AWG passed the Camera Test! I used AWG's foundation and rice powder last night for a dinner out with friends, and a lot of pictures were taken. The photos look great! No white cast, very minimal shine (good oil control), smooth and even-looking, and best of all, it matched my neck seamlessly.

Charm Travel Brush Pro Set

My Charm Travel Brush Pro Set, purchased from Beauty and Minerals on a pre-buy, arrived today. They look so pretty! Now I don't have to jam my full-sized brushes into a small case when I have to bring them along to get ready for an event later at night. I do have a brush set which I bought from Sephora, but that one consists of only 5 brushes and I often need more than that. So I end up bringing that 5-brush kit, plus the full-size brushes I need in another case, plus the bag containing the makeup I'll be using... which is kind of a hassle. This new set takes care of my problem because it has practically all the brushes I need, packed in a space-saving container. So now I'll only need to bring two cases -- this all-in-one kit and the one with my makeup. Definitely a good buy!

Hong Kong mini-haul + MY FIRST MSF!!!

I am now the proud owner of a Mineralize Skinfinish! Yes, my very first MSF! A big thank you to my aunt who got it for me (together with a 222 brush) on a business trip to Hong Kong.

It's in Soft and Gentle, described on the MAC site as a "gilded peach bronze."
