This is a collective haul of some stuff I picked up over the last month.
I took advantage of the after-holiday sales and managed to find some great deals. I noticed that some of the sales in the recent weeks were even better than the sales during Black Friday (as seen in my last haul) or Boxing Day (for those of you in Canada). When we're talking about 70-80% off discounts..
who can resist?! I picked up a few things I've been wanting to try.
L'oreal Telescopic Explosion
L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black

Annabelle Smudgeliner
I believe these are only available in Canada.

It comes with a brush on one end for smudging.
These pencil liners are quite pigmented,
and similar to Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil.
It looks really nice applied on the lower lashline to give it a bit of colour.

Japanese/Korean false lashes
I haven't tried the ones on top before.
The XL criss-cross ones on the bottom are my favourite kinds.
Hard Candy Baked Blush
Hard Candy Kal-Eye-Descope Baked Eyeshadow Duo (x3)
I'm a sucker for cute packaging and I love the packaging for these. Their products remind me of Too Faced products.

My crappy camera doesn't show its true appearance, but this is a very pretty colour with a soft shimmery finish. It reminds me of MAC MSF blushes. This one is great to use as a highlighter.
Swatches of all the eyeshadow duos & blush together.
I really like these Hard Candy products.
For drugstore products, I'm surprised by their pigmentation, texture and even their packaging. I would purchase these again if I can get my hands on some of the other colours.

I've been obsessed with nail polishes lately and found these two.

Gunmetal
I love this colour. It's the perfect shade of metallic dark blue.
Strobe Light
I like the name for this one. A girl can't have too many sparkly nail polishes so I figured I couldn't go wrong getting this one as well ;)

And lastly... TADA!
I finally picked up another set of these infamous drawers.
I was so happy to find this one b/c unlike most I've seen, this one comes with 4 drawers instead of just simply 3.
Having an extra set of drawers sure comes in handy. I love it! :D
Thanks for reading! :)
Until next time,

Would really appreciate it if you could review the mascaras! I've always wondered about that spiky ball one. It definitely looks like a dupe of the Givenchy phenomen'on or whatever it is, mascara!

omg those. shadows. look amazing!!!laskjdfasld i want a;slkdsf
it sucks to never have money
I have a Sally hansen nail polish that looks like Strobe Light, but it's named Rockstar Pink, and it's more on the pink side. But I think I'll go buy Strobe Light anyway xD
Annabelle Cosmetics rocks!! =D
Wow, lovely hauls! I love the look of those Annabelle liners - they're soooo pretty! Also thanks so much for sharing the swatches of the HC products! I think they're the first swatches of their new stuff that I've seen yet and I've been holding out on buying stuff (except for a nail polish) but they look really nice! I especially love the Love Bug duo and the blush!
And ooooooh, I love your drawer! Would love to see pictures of your whole stash. :D
i love those drawers!! i've never seen them before?
Everything is so cute (:
Those Hard Candy stuff look gorgeous! And thanks so much for sending me the link. Its so funny!! xx
Thanks for commenting on my post =)
Yeah, its completely true, sadly. All makeup in HK is like cheapcheapcheap! It really doesn't matter whether it's Japanese, or European brand or whatnot, it costs less than the price it is in its original country! I think it's because they basically shop tax-free. Seriously, Lunasol, Kanebo and SKII are a lot cheaper there than in the UK, and in Japan! And I bought a bunch of Dior, Benefit and I *wish* i'd got my hands on some Chantecaille whilst I was there ><
Hey Dear~ Thank you so much for joining my giveaway =) And yes my bracelets are still on sale, however some designs might be sold out. Love the swatches you did!!! They are all so pretty! Never knew Hard Candy was so nice =P
Thanks Anita! whoa, love your haul! :D

that duo e/s is love. and The XL criss-cross falsies, do they look okay when wearing it? i wanna see how it's look like. :D
