Shiseido Sale + EDM Haul
Ok, the Shiseido sale I went yesterday was crazy. Really really crazy. This is the first time I've been to a cosmetics warehouse sale and I'm truly shocked at how long the queue is and how everyone squeezed and pushed their way through. I'm not a Shiseido user and I only went down to take a look since I happened to be free. I reached at 10.25am and the queue was all the way to the lift lobby. Well I figured since I already drove all the way down, may as well queue right. I ended up queuing for about an hour and a half. I knew I can't walk away empty-handed even if nothing appealed to me. So that's the lure of such sales! The discounts were pretty good though.

L-R: Shiseido Body Creator Aromatic Firming Cream ($25), Maquillage Crystallizing Palette ($30, retails at $73), Maquillage Sparkle Contrast Eyes ($20, retails at $63), Maquillage Shiny Design Powder ($20), Ettusais Eye Liner Pencil in Ivory, Brown ($8 each, retails at $22)

Only the Ettusais eyeliner pencils are for myself. Maybe I'd keep the Shiny Design Powder since I love the packaging so much. The rest, I should be giving them away as gifts. Anyway, after the ordeal of queuing and squeezing and being pushed around, I told myself that I wouldn't specially head down to such sales anymore unless I'm a user of the brand's products.
And my Everyday Minerals haul came finally. I went to count how many EDM blushes I have and it totaled to 61! Lol, I'm going to stop buying EDM for awhile. Anyway, one of the freebies, Make it Count blush, is lovely! It's my favorite out of the lot! It's quite similar to Opening Day, except that Opening Day has a little less pink. I love all the other blushes too, but I'm not too sure how to use Morning Cup, which is a sheer lavender-latte color.
Super Personal Custom Kit US$50 + Free Sample Kit + Freebies
Swatches!
Also bought a MAC Cash Flow PP from the MAC LJ Community. It finally came after 3 weeks plus, I thought it was lost or something.
MAC Paint Pot in Cash Flow US22 including shipping (LE)
