Starbucks 1 for 1!! :)

Hey there!!! :) I saw from the Starbucks FB page abt the 1 for 1
for venti frappes for their promotional drinks : Green Tea with red bean and Hojicha with Earl Grey jelly. Of course i chose the Hojicha!!

It is actually roasted Japanese tea that tastes like brown rice!! So good!!! And also, the earl grey jelly tastes so fragrant! I've never had jelly that tastes like tea before and it's sooo delicious!!!!!!!!! I will definitely order this again! I hope they make it permanent though :/

Review: Macdonald's Caramel Frappe

Hey peeps!! I'm back with a drink review!! As you can see from the title, im reviewing the new Mac caramel frappe.

It tastes so caramel-y on the first sip, full of caramel goodness. But its really really awfully sweet, and melts really quickly. I had to add like 4 more cubes of ice to reduce. its sweetness. Overall quite satisfied, but tooooo tooo toooooooo sweet :)

Odd looking polish colour + Review

I just cleaned off my Sally Hansen Hard as Nails polish in Mint Sorbet, but oddly enough, it looks blue and green on the cotton pad!

As the name of the polish states "Hard as Nails", it is not very "hard" the slightest little knock resulted in ugly looking dents even 2 days after application. Also, small grains of dirt actually embedded into the polish! Im not sure whether its because I was at camp when I had this polish on... I'll use it another time to see how it works! :D

Mini M.A.C. Haul!

Mini M.A.C. Haul!

Hey everyone! My mum finally agreed to buy makeup items for me, and it's from M.A.C! How exciting! Previously she also bought a Chanel lip gloss for me at the Taka sale =D :

Look at how pretty it is!!! It is their lip gloss (glossimer) in number 168 Desir. It is sooo bright pink in person!! The picture doesn't even do it justice!

Ok now into the haul. These are the 3 items I got:

She allowed me to get these items cuz she had Tangs beauty vouchers that could only be used 1 voucher apiece... Hence 3 items!

The first item that I had been eyeing from a while from looking at makeupstash.com . The yellow nail polish caught my eye immediately! It is such a pretty creamy yellow colour! I believe it is from the Beth Ditto X M.A.C. collection =)

The next item is just mascara. The salesguy was just introducing my mum their bestseller (for mascara) which is the Extended Play Lash, and it wasn't very expensive, so she bought to let me try it out. The packaging is really cute too!!

And here's how the wand looks like:

The last item is this Casual Colour. I think it's one of M.A.C.'s newest products. It can be used as a lip and cheek colour. My mum and I chose the colour Weekend Getaway. I wanted the lighter peachy colours but my mum said it wouldn't show up too well on my lips. So I ended up choosing this colour. =)

With flash:

Without flash:

And that's all I got!! Quite excited to use these items!! Especially the casual colour!

XOXO Rui Ting =)

HK Haul part 1

HK Haul part 1

I'm back from HK!!!!! OMG the shopping there is so awesome!!! I bought sooo many things!! So so many things.. I was disappointed with some things that I was waiting to find, like NYX cosmetics @ Ginza Plaza, Mongkok. It was just a tiny little shop with totally NO lip products at all!!! I was so waiting to buy their lipsticks. Oh well, I will have to wait for more (Smoochiezz) events to buy more... Meanwhile, here are the non-clothing items I bought for myself there =)

This is an overview of all the non-clothing items I got for myself =)

I wanted this pink-brown eyeliner from Sasa a really long time ago. When I saw it selling at a shop called Log-On, especially when it's about $4 cheaper, I freaked and bought it immediately!!! When I got back to my hotel room and opened it up, I was so disappointed because it wasn't the one I wanted!!! I wanted the liquid pink-brown eyeliner, not the pencil one!!! I was so mad at myself!!! But oh well, I still can use it anyway, the colour of the eyeliner was what I liked, not too harsh looking on the eyes.

And I also got myself another of Maybelline's Jelly Glow Blushes because it costs S$9+ whereas in Singapore it costs $14.90!!! Of course I had to get another one! I wanted the brown one but got the peach coloured one by mistake but it's ok, the colour's pretty too!! I love these blushes. I've been waiting for it to come out in Singapore ever since I saw Bethany from Youtube use it. But I was really disappointed when it came out last month as it launched in Asia with only 4 colours whereas in the US they have 10 shades, and it's called Dream Bouncy Blushes instead of Jelly Glow. I think I'm gonna get my cousin who might be coming back from the US in September to get some for me!! =)

I saw this Hello Kitty hand cream at Log-On, but I was thinking whether to get it cause I already have a hand cream. I decided to get it cause it was just to darn cute!!! Isn't it??!!

The first time I saw this polish was on the Instagram of Linsey (beautybaby44 on Youtube) and it looked so super pretty!!! I sooo wanted to get it but I didnt know how! When we were walking along in iSquare Shopping mall, we walked past this nail polish shop, selling all the brands we don't have in Singapore!!! Like Orly, Butter London, Deborah Lippmann etc. I was soo excited and immediately went in after we got dinner. The salesperson was going on and on and on about the Orly top coat that can last for 2 weeks, she was so damn annoying!!! If she wasnt so annoying I would have got more nail polishes from Orly and prolly Butter London. But she was rattling on and on that I got so irrittated that I just bought this colour and went straight out. She was annoying me so much that I couldn't convert the currency properly in my head to realise that it costs slightly over $30... I almost fainted... After this purchase, I totally didn't feel like using my money for anything else at all. But come to think of it, it's worth its costs cause it's ultra pretty and unique and Singapore doesn't carry this brand!!! So I'm happy =)

I have never bought any Revlon nail polishes before, this is my first, and so was the previous one. I was going through the nail polish "bins" at Sasa and found this polish that looks sooo pretty. It reminds me of cupcakes and birthdays and girly things. And the best part, it only costs HKD25 = less than S$5!!! Cha-ching!! =)

I found this supposedly M.A.C. limited edition, few years ago Hello Kitty collection sold at Ginza Plaza in one of the shops that rented boxes to people to sell their things. I do not know whether it's an authentic M.A.C. product, but it's my favourite kitty, and it only costs about S$3+, why not?

And you do not know how excited I was to find that the Langham Place shopping centre had a Nars shop because Singapore does not carry Nars!!! I straight away looked for the Laguna bronzer that every Youtube guru raves about. But at first look, didn't think it was that awesome. When I swatched it on my hand, it looked so gorgeous!! But I didn't want to invest in a bronzer now. So I was looking at their lip glosses and saw this really pretty colour (even through the matte packaging it was still really pretty!) and to my amaze, it was the Orgasm colour! Many Youtube gurus also rave about the Orgasm colour in blush form, and the lip gloss looked really pretty too!! I saw this on the first day, but didn't want to buy it yet 'cuz it costs about a good S$35. I thought about it, and bought it on the last few hours of our trip because I didn't manage to get the Steve Madden shoes that I wanted so badly; they just didn't fit right =(. If the nail polish saleslady didn't keep bugging me, I would have bought more than 1 nail polish there and actually feel happy about it the moment I bought it and not brood about how expensive it costed and not feeling like buying anything else after that. I'm still happy with my nail polish anyway!! =)

This is the end of my non-clothing HK haul, although I bought more than this =) I bought a tiny sample sized perfume with a really cute bottle to give to my cousin, another Hello Kitty cream for my cousin, sweets with the face of a sumo wrestler on it, and a really kawaii Hello Kitty tin that had chocolate in it =) I will post my clothing + accesories and photos soon! =)
