Chanel Travel Makeup Palette Altitude

Felt kinda guilty for buying and not really using this palette so thought I might as well take it out for a swatch and hopefully be more motivated to use it? :p

This is available in duty free, recently saw it when I went on my holiday, think it was S$97. It has 5 eyeshadows (blue, pink, white, light brown and dark brown), a face powder, a blush, 2 lipsticks, 2 lipglosses, a concealer, a mascara and 4 applicators.

Clé de Peau Beauté Palette Vintage II highlighter

This is not a new product (think it was released in 2010?) but nonetheless, I just got this gorgeous Clé de Peau Beauté Palette Vintage II highlighter from a warehouse sale and just wanted to share (and also to record its untouched appearance before I proceed to "ruin" it :p)

The picture above is with the gold overlay and you can see the actual product after the jump. I don't usually wear highlighters but this is too pretty to ignore. The powder is very fine and there isn't obvious glitter, just micro sparkles that help to give a glow to the face. Am really eager to start adding this to my daily routine :D

Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick 101, 110, 111, 113

Have recently discovered a love of matte lipsticks, especially bold colors, hence a haul of 4 lipsticks from Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick range - 101 (cool pink), 110 (orangey red), 111 (true red), 113 (beige nude).

Lips have definitely gotta be scrubbed and moisturised for these to wear nicely, otherwise it sinks into lines / clings to chapped lips (especially 113), but I do like the intensity. The lipstick has a sort of fruity sweet smell which is a little synthetic, but I don't mind it much. The lipsticks don't come sealed or even scotch-taped so I was kinda worried but luckily all were fine. The only thing was that one of the caps was misshaped (2nd from the right) so that was a little annoying (>.<)

Ettusais Foamy Rich Mousse & BB Mineral White

It's a rare non-nail related post but I have to rant a little about the Ettusais Foamy Rich Mousse which is supposed to be a "5-in 1 multi-functional foamy cleanser and makeup remover" that promises to enable you to "skip double cleansing". However, I found it not that effective and definitely will not depend on it to clean off my makeup thoroughly. It also has a citrus/lemon smell which I do not like, even though it is supposed to be fragrance fee.

On the other hand, Ettusais BB Mineral White is not too bad. I like that it has SPF45 PA++ and its coverage is quite sufficient for me.

Essence Home Sweet Home blushes - Knits for chicks and Wool-d you cuddle me

This is my first non-nail related post and that's because when I saw the Essence Home Sweet Home collection, amazingly I walked away with NO polish and 2 blushes instead :p Above left is Knits for chicks and right is Wool-d you cuddle me

Below is a shot with natural light. Thought the sweater imprint was pretty cute :)
