What's in my make up box part 2: Eyes

I love eye make up, that's why I have heaps of items for eye make up.

Maybelline Gel eyeliner - 01 Black

Bought it in Malaysia. My mum was there and I asked her if she could get it for me but apparently they sell it in NZ too. It's about NZ$20 but if you check trademe, try to search a member name skatestuff. She sells cosmetic pretty cheap.

Kate Gel Eye Liner - Deep Blue

My sister went on a business trip to Thailand last month. She got me this gel eye liner. It says deep blue but it's really dark. I used it when I went to my sister's place and she thought I was using my usual black eye liner. She told me there were heaps of Japanese cosmetic in Thailand.

Kate Gel Eye Shadow - PU1

I bought in Yodobashi, back when we were in Japan in 2009. I just started buying cosmetic. DH loves yodobashi and when we went there, I asked him if we could go to the cosmetic section so I ended up buying it. If you look at the picture, it looks like light purple but when you actually use it, it only looks shimmery, does not look like light purple.

Color Revolution Eye Primer

I bought it for NZ$20 from Save Direct. Well, the price was actually NZ$37.43 but I bought a voucher from one of the dealsite $20 worth $40. Save Direct is highly recommended. My order did not come within 3-5 days as they told. 1 of the staff emailed me, asking if I had received my order. I told him I had received nothing so he sent another one and told me to let him know if I had not got it yet again.

Dolly Wink Eye Shadow Palette no. 1

When DH went to Japan in last December, I told him to get me Canmake gradation eyeshadow but he got me dolly wink instead. I fell in love at first sight. I use it every time I go out. It costed DH 1680円. Oh, it also came with an instruction how to use it.

Elite Eye Shadow - Peche and Lilas

I bought this along with my maybelline blush. It's about NZ$7 but I haven't tried it yet. I like the color but I don't go out often. Might try it soon though.

Wonder Eyelid Tape

I bought it for NZ$34 (or 35) from TopFashionist. As you know, I don't wanna buy Japanese product in NZ but the sales assistant tried this tape on me and I felt bad if I didn't buy it. I love this product! I tried normal tape but it didn't work. I have really weird eyes, 1 doublelid and 1 monolid and the monolid 1, tape didn't work. I tried glue but it made my eyes so dry so this double sided tape is perfect for me. However, sometime I find it hard to apply it on my eyes. Well, practice makes perfect.

Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow - Sandy Dusk

I bought this item from nzsale for NZ$6. Oh, I love nzsale!!! I am into nude colors at the moment so this palette is perfect. The eyeshadow on the top is matte while the other 2 are shimmer eyeshadow. Only used once, last week.

MUFE Aqua Cream - Shade 2

Bought it from MUFE Indonesia. Can't remember how much but MUFE is a bix expensive. I was just walking pass MUFE and I saw their aqua cream edition on display. I fell in love. The make up artist applied it on my eyes along with shade 1 (picture below). I ended up buying both. It's creamy and pigmented.

MUFE Aqua Cream - Shade 1

I use it not only for eyeshadow but also eyeliner. So I use my pencil eyeliner and dab it with MUFE aqua cream so it won't smudge.

Maybelline Eye Studio - 107 Silver Stunner

I bought it from nzsale (again!) for NZ$6. Haven't really tried it so can't say much about it

Maybellne Eye Studio - Purple Pearl

I bought it from nzsale (again!!!) for NZ$6. Well, it was really cheap and DH told me to get few items instead of one. Haven't tried it but I love the colors.

TBS Eye Colour - 44

I bought it when I was in Indo. It was a year ago so I can't remember how much it was. It is a shimmer eyeshadow. I like the color. I usually use not too much otherwise it's gonna be too green.

TBS Eye Colour - 20

I bought it in Indonesia. Haven't used that much. In fact, I forgot I had this eyeshadow.lol 

Bourjois Noir & Blanc

It's my love. When I was in Indonesia, I was looking for a white eyeliner. Went to Bourjois and found this. I think it was about Rp 100.000. It comes with black and white eyeliner but I mostly use white part cos I prefer to use black gel eyeliner.

Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner

I bought it in Indonesia for Rp 50.000. Can't believe how much it is. I ended up buying 2. However, it smudges easily, that's why I use my MUFE aqua cream shade 1 so it won't smudge.

Bourjos Effet Lumiere Eyeshadow Trio - 46 Les Argents

I bought it when I was into smokey eyes. I love bourjois unfortunately, it's really hard to find it in NZ. I barely find it and if I do, they don't have the products I wanted =(
I think Bourjois in Indonesia is not that pricey but I was so suprised when I checked bourjois Japan. It's pretty expensive. Local brand is much cheaper.

Revlon Double Twist

Don't buy this product!! It clumps!!! So I ended up using it only for few times. Wonder why I haven't chucked it away.

Dolly Wink Mascara Long

LOVE this mascara. DH bought it when he was back in Japan last December. He called me to ask if I wanted to get black liquid for eyes. When he came back, he gave me a bag filled with my cosmetics. The black liquid for eyes, turned out it was a mascara. I love love love this product!!! The brush is really soft. It give length to my lashes. It's pretty cheap as well. DH bought it for 1575円. DH and my Japanese friend tell me dolly wink is targeted for high school girl so it won't be that expensive.

Bourjois Mascara Volume Clubbing

I can't remember how much it was but probably around Rp 100.000. It also gives length to my lashes but I don't know if it's waterproof or not. Due to the weather changing in Auckland, I need a waterproof mascara.

Covergirl Eyeshadow - 220 Urban Basics

Bought it from the warehouse. Can't remember how much it was. I, basically, use the browns and white.

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact - Brownie

Bought it duty free. It's shimmer eyeshadows. Perfect for going out at night (read clubbing). I only use it on special occasions.

Bourjois Ombre Stretch - 02 Maxi Blanc & 03 Extensible

I bought Maxi Blanc in Indonesia. I love it. So when my mum called asking if I wanted to get something. I told her I wanted Bourjois Ombre Stretch extensinble cos I can't find it in NZ =( I love the brush that comes with it as well.

Oh, I got that headband for NZ$2 from CottonOn. They were having sale and it was too good to be missed. Don't we all love sale?

What's in my make up box part 1: face and lips.

I thought I would do a (useless) post "what's in my make up box". So here we go.

Clinique Moisturizing Lotion

This item is a must for me. I use it on daily basis otherwise my skin will be so dry. It's for very dry to dry combination skin. Don't know how much cos my mum gave it to me last year after she went to Malaysia. She probably bought it at the duty free. It came with two bottles and the picture above is the unopened one.

Loreal Secret Studio Foundation 143 Gold Amber.

I bought it from 1-day, probably last month. They had cosmetic sale so it was a good bargain. I bought it for around NZ$11. Unfortunately the brush doesn't really work so I have to use a sponge.

Clinique Blended Face Powder and Brush 03 Transparency

My mum gave it to me. She told me to use this instead of compact powder. Futagochan love to play with the brush.LOL.

Revlon PhotoReady Powder 030

I bought this cos of Sca. She brought it along with her one day and I tried it. I fell in love with it instantly. It makes my skin really smooth, like baby skin. So I thought I had to have this item. So off I went to Farmers and found out it costed NZ$40ish. Can't remember how much exactly it is but it is pretty pricey. So I opened trademe, hoping to find a brand new powder with good price. I found this product right away for NZ$28, which I thought it was reasonable. Apparently the seller has her own shop. I bought it from makeupforless. This shop is highly recommended.  

Candy Doll Face Powder

I found this product accidentally when Sca and I went to Ippondo at Atrium on Elliot. The sales assistant tried it on Sca's hand and I fell it love with it but it costs around NZ$64. Having a Japanese husband, sure I can utilise him. I do not wanna pay something that costs me NZ$64 while I can get it for cheaper price. So when he went back in June, I asked him to get it for me. Told him it's available in Loft. Not sure where he got it but at least he got it. I haven't tried it yet though. 

Maybelline Mineral Power Blush - Fresh Plum

DH checked nzsale one day and he told me there were some maybelline products. Hmmm. It was too good to be missed so I ended up buying few products. It costed me NZ$10. I haven't opened it (>,<) 

Sportsgirl Cheek and Eye Shimmer

Sca went to OZ for holiday a while ago. She got me this while she was there. OH MY, I totally love the colors. It has pink, brown, and dark gold (?). I am not too sure about the dark gold cos I might be wrong. I used it once and it gave me instant glow.

Bourjois Blush - 32 Ambre D'or

I bought it when I was in Indonesia last year. Can't remember where I bought it or how much it was. It give me natural look but it's really hard. It's not powderish. Even Sca said it's hard. It might be a baked blush series but I am not sure.

Flirt! - 20 Bronze Goddess

I bought this item for $6.50 from trademe. I used it onl for a couple of times. Looking forward to summer so I can use it more often.

Canmake Cream Cheek - 09 Pinky Rose

This is my favorite blush. I was looking for a pinkish blusher and this cream cheek's perfect. So when DH went to Japan, I told him to get this cream cheek. He called me saying he was embarrased to ask the sales assistant cos he's a guy but I told him to get it. It's really...really cheap. It's only 609円. I can't believe shops in here selling it for NZ$29. That's why I prefer to buy Japanese cosmetic in Japan cos it's much much cheaper. Oh, it's also highly pigmented. A really good product for that price. Can't wait to go to Japan to get my hands on more Canmake products.

L'oreal Infallible Longwear Lip Duo Compact - 105 Golden Taffetta

I bought this along with the foundation at 1-day. It costed me NZ$9 while the RRP is NZ$20ish. It's highly pigmented. I swatched it on my hand few days ago and I forgot to clean it with eye-lip make up remover and it stayed for around 3 days but it was because I wipe it with eye-lip make up remover. It is a bit shimmery as well.

Etude - Dear Darling Gloss

I bought it last year in Indonesia. Can't remember how much it was but it was not that expensive. I use it only to Uni.


Some of the pictures don't turn out that great. When I was in the middle of taking pictures, the sun hid and dark clouds came =(
