I went on a mini Maybelline Haul and I’m in love with everything I’ve bought. Their concealer and mascara is already my a staple in my every day look. If you want to see my review on the mascara and the concealer, then check it out at Makeup Alley, otherwise let me know and I’ll post it here!

1. Maybelline Pure Mineral Concealer in the shade 002

3. Maybelline the Rocket Volum’ Express

4. Maybelling Baby Lips

I’ll post before and afters for the concealer and mascara soon!

On Tuesday, a couple of friends and I attended an event at Harvey Nichols that was organised by Sassy Hong Kong and got quite a few samples!

If you want to know in detail what the samples are, just ask me in my “Ask me anything” bar in my profile!

So I went on a major shopping spree for my monday blues, but I swear I needed these!

Skincare

I bought the Clinique Acne Solutions Clear Skin System. My skin has broken out quite a bit because of Hong Kong’s stupid hot and humid weather. So I decided to buy this because last time I bought their 3-step programme for type 3 skin, it worked quote well. 

The Acne Solutions Clear Skin System consists of:

1. The Anti-Blemish Cleansing Foam

2. The Anti-Blemish Clarifying Lotion

3. The Anti-Blemish All Over Clearing Treatment

The lady at Clinique said to use the Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief so that all the products stay on my skin and my skin doesn’t overcompensate my dry skin by producing more oil. So fingers crossed it goes well!

I also got a goodie bag! which had tons of samples in it! They had:

1. Moisture Surge CC Cream

2. Pore Refining Solutions

3. Repairwear Laser Focus

4. Liquid Facial Soap

5. Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel

6. Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief

Handbags

My next purchase was for my work, I needed a medium-sized Beige bag and my mum saw it at Lloyd’s and after about 2-3 days, it was still in my mind, so I was went ahead and bought it!

It has a pocket in the front so it’s great to put my phone and keys inside and it has a longer strap so that I can put it along my shoulder and not have to worry about one more bag.

Makeup

I swear, whenever I walk past MAC, I have to go and purchase something, it’s a complete weakness of mine!

I purchased Lovelorn and Impassioned from the Amplified line and I love love love them!

Lovelorn is more of an everyday wear. It’s a baby pink but not one with a blue undertone, so it works well on Asian skin. It also comes on a little bit sheer so it doesn’t look overpowering and you can layer it to make it more intense.

Impassioned was suggested by the lady at MAC and I fell in love at first sight. It is a lot more pigmented than Lovelorn even though it comes from the same line, you don’t need to layer it a lot. The easiest way I can describe this colour is a mix of orange, pink and red.
