Colours Cosmetics Malaysia Haul : Swatches and Ramblings

via google

Hello my dears, 

How is your September so far?

Firstly, if you are one of the blessed ones who managed to score the local universities, 

A HEARTIEST CONGRATULATIONS from me! 

This is the orientation week for fresh undergrads in all local universities. 

Are you one of them? If yes, how was it? :P

I recall not allowed to wash my college t-shirts and by the end of the week, 

when I washed it the water literally turned BROWN in colour. EWW. 

It was a torturous week but a memorable one indeed :) 

Sigh.

So much for 'frequent' updates... Sorry!

Had been trying to find ways of transferring the pictures from my phone to the laptop. 

Previously, I was using AirDroid but it keeps hanging because I download loads of pictures. 

My camera is being a bitch, so as for now I rely on my trusty Sony Xperia TX! 

The camera is pretty impressive. Will share more about it in a separate post.

It has been almost 2 weeks since my teaching practice 

and one of my course-mates announced that the results is already out in our uni's site.
GUESSWHAT. 

I scored a A- for it! 

IAMSOHAPPEEEEEEE!! 

Thank you God, family & friends! <3

Okay, I gotta stop this rambling and get on with the MAIN purpose of this post. 

Heh. 

Colours Cosmetics Malaysia had a Merdeka promotion which ended recently on the 2nd of September. 

So, as usual. Being a typical Malaysian.

I just had too.

IT WAS A SALE! 

So here are the goodies that I got : 

I purposely chose this filter to ensure it looks true to colour. 

First Impressions

• Sleek True Colour Lipstick in Bare All. 
  This lipstick seems more wearable than its sister, Peaches & Cream. Suitable for fair-skinned girls but it may give that white/chalky finish.

• Sleek Pout Paint in Minx.
  When I first opened the tube, a layer of oil/substance came out of it instead of the colour. So do shake the tube as much as you can before squeezing the product. Note, a little goes a looooong way. You will need a very small amount as its thick and pigmented. It may not look 'natural' if applied heavily.
• Loreal 24-Hour Infallible Eyeshadow (UK) in Coconut Shake.
  A 'meh' product. But it may work fine as a non-shimmery highlighter for those who prefer matte finish. Hope it performs as a basic eyeshadow well.
• Wet n Wild Color Icon Single Eyeshadow in Nutty. 
  Okay, I had been eyeing this Nutty for more than year now and finally got my hands on it. I have read reviews/raves on how pretty the colour was, and yes, the raves should be taken seriously. The colour is gorgeous! No annoying, huge chunks of shimmer. Just a superb, sophisticated taupe colour for everyday wear.
• Wet n Wild Color Icon Single Eyeshadow in Brulee. 
  This is actually a repurchased item. I have this eyeshadow and I love it too bits. Smooth matte, cream coloured finished which can be worn with a simple, black or brown eyeliner and TADA! Polished look.
• NYX Single Eyeshadow in Silk. 
  Very. pretty. colour. 'Enuff said.
• Jordana Easyliner For Eyes in Brown Suede. 
  A red based brown eyeliner. PURRFECT!
• Jordana Easyliner For Eyes in Eggplant. 
  A superbly dark purple, looks like black with a purple base. Very similar to Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner in Blackberry.
• Jordana Blush Powder in Sandalwood. 
  Very soft and smooth powder, comes in twist-open container. Suitable for fair-skinned girls.
  Leans more to neutral pink peach shade. Love, love, love!
• Jordana Blush Powder in Sunlit Bronze.
  Same texture and physical attribute as Sandalwood. A soft peach-coral blush that gives a natural glow to the cheeks. LOVE!

So far, I am pretty happy and satisfied with my haul at Colours Cosmetics Malaysia. 

Can't wait to try all of them.

Till next time,

Sarah :)
