Can I start this post by saying: You totally spoiled me Georgina!!!
Yesterday Georgina from Coffretgorge and I met up, and we went to "shorten her shopping list". LOL. She was very thoughtful to know my birthday is coming up in a month's time and brought me so many goodies! We also arranged a swap hence the bunch of things you see here. I left out a few items at home and by the time I got home last night I remembered I forgot to bring along the mask she wanted! Stupid me -_-
She got me the Goatmilk body lotion I was looking for on my wishlist (OMG I didn't know people read that page!!), a beauty essence/serum from Etude house, Korres Lip Butter (been wanting to try Korres for agesssss!), Kanebo loose powder in a separate jar ;), Lunasol eyeshadow palette, a lip and cheek tint, Coffret D'or glitter liner, a seashell-shaped compact mirror, and an orange(!!!) blush from The Face shop! THANKYOU SO MUCH George!
We went to Cle de Peau to try their famous concealer stick, and we had the SA to try on our eyes. The coverage was GREAT even though she applied a thin layer, I think I'm sold on that concealer *_* I didn't get it but Georgina did, and the SA gave each of us a sample of their cream foundation!
Thanks to George for helping me to pick this shade, I got the Shu Uemura blush in M Pink 33C as well *argh, more blushes?!?!*

On the left: Shu Uemura M Pink 33C. On the right: my HG lilac blush from Benefit "I Lotused You Looking". You probably can figure out why I bought the Shu blush now, hehe I was looking for a dupe of the Benefit one (will do a separate post on that later).After putting the two side by side, although the Shu isn't as lilac as Benefit, but it swatched nicely in the store haha!!
Are you getting anything from the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales :D?
happy thanksgiving xx
cool! :-)
ReplyDeleteim so happy to hear you've been around with other bloggers lately!
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI wish that I have met up with other bloggers - I don't think my sister counts - I think its very cool that you met up! :-)
ahh I love etude house ^^ and the Shu Uemura shades look beautiful~
ReplyDeleteI'm crazy lusting after Benefits Girl Meets Pearl Luminizer esp after how fuzkittie has been talking about it endlessly...but I'm pretty happy with my Lioele highlighter though and I have a ton left so I don't really have much of an excuse to get it :\ As for Stila, I don't have anything particular in mind, I just want to look ^^
wow nice swap and your haul :P
ReplyDeleteu must got a great time shopping with another beauty bloggers :)
How fun to get to meet up! :)
ReplyDeleteawww...that's so nice getting to meet fellow blogger.....G is so nice...
ReplyDeleteoo ahah I thought u were asking what I was getting from just Stila and Benefit~
ReplyDeleteahah no, I'll be getting more than that xD I already placed an order from LOFT ^^ I haven't tried girl meets pearl but...so many RAVES and how badly could u mess up a highlighter right ^^? The only other things I am 100% sure I am buying from is VS (sweaters!), PrettynCute (a few Lioele things), pinkholik for some NYX stuff and maybe from Happy Cloud if Im not broke.
Everything else is sorta - if I see something I really, really like. I've been hauling makeup a lot last month so I want to show SOME restraint ^^
Is M Pink 33C matte?
ReplyDeleteA meetup with dear G!!! Ahhh, I wish I could have joined you guys haha xD Did you take any pics with her? I wanna seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (can send to my e-mail if you're feeling shy lol lol)
RYC, Face Atelier's Pink Satin. It's a baby pastel pink, no lilac hints.
Vitamin Orange sounds intriguing. I was pretty scared at how orange-y it appears when I swatched it. Jen, can you please post a pic you wearing Vit O?
nice! what colour's the lunasol palette? :D
ReplyDeleteI've only got the canmake cream blush in 05. I like it ^^ but usually I rush out for work every morning so i mainly use powder blushes cos it's fast and easy. haha
Yay for meeting G! Shopping with fellow blogger is really dangerous, enabled by each other hahaha..
ReplyDeleteryc: Oh, you got the charcoal nose pack! I heard it's pretty good too but haven't had a chance to try it, maybe after my current one is finished. Hope you'll get the white one too :)
Thanks for noticing it Jen *hugs* ;). High5 for being Sudoku-mania! Haha..
Yes! FaceQ is my most fave mask right now :). What's yours?
ReplyDeleteWow...Bloggers meetup..This is so cool..Any your swap is still cool. I love HK so much~~ Soon I gonna fly there and have a good shopping too..
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you got to meet up with coffretgorge! I've read a lot of posts about blogger meetups but haven't had the pleasure of actually doing one. I'm really looking forward to next month when I'll get that opportunity.
ReplyDeleteYou liked the Cle de Peau concealer? I didn't think that it was "all that" on me. It's also quite pricey! *_*
*Kat*
Hi again!! I wanted to tell you that I do love the ELF primer, my sister made a blog using it on one eye and UDPP on the other they looked the same at the end of the day, I notice if you use too much its harder to blend but other than that its great!! :-))
ReplyDeleteLovely post:)
ReplyDeleteIt must be so fun to go shopping with another blogger.
You wouldn't end up arguing about spending hours around makeup counters lol!!

I used a small amount of the Cle de Peau concealer and it didn't cover my ugly dark spot well. The SA/MUA at the counter also tried and was quite surprised by the fact that it didn't cover it well. Oh well. He actually did give me a sample of it--he actually cut off a whole section of the stick and put it into a container for me to use. He was really sweet.
ReplyDeleteMy blogger meetup will be here in Hawaii. K will be traveling here so I'm really excited about that.
*Kat*
I need to get Laneige water sleeping pack to try then!
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely go get some FaceQ masks to try, you'll get hooked! It's better than My Beauty Diary in my opinion.
I use Skinfood rice wash off mask and Cellnique advanced bio renewal masque too. Love the cellnique one but the skinfood one is just okay to me.
What a lovely gift of so many beauty goodies! Very thoughtful of her. I have to agree Crabtree& Evelyn's Goat Milk range smells very lovely - like you've taken a long bath in soap suds and powdery flowers...
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift. All goodies are superb. I don't have anything particular in mind, I just want to look. Thanks for sharing.

Georgina is so nice! what a nice swap!
ReplyDeleteSomehow this post made me want to expand my blush collection, I've been neglecting them over my eyeshadows ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm 100% sure you'll love the Korres lip butter- I own 4 of them and I'm planning to get more, lol!
xx
omg there well nice!! ♥
ReplyDeleteHope you can join my blog i just started... hope you;ll like my future blog :) :)
Please subcribe to mine oniilove.blogspot.com ♥
Thank you x
I'll definitely plan a trip to HK. Then we gonna meet up for sure. Hehe XD I want to ask, do HK have Melliesh products? I am kinda looking for it as my wishlist. Oh and your Canmake reviews are driving me crazy. We don't get canmake melty nude lippie even in Malaysia. Sad though?
ReplyDeleteI only have 03 Strawberry Whip and 07 Coral Orange. The high markup is very prohibitive =[ It costs RM 43.90 (~ HKD$ 108.70) over here. No one should pay THAT amount for Canmake!
ReplyDeleteI'm back to using no blushes.. but that doesn't stop me for hankering for more esp Canmake Cream Cheek 09. You're such an enabler haha!
Oh dear me, I'm getting more and more unobservant, G got you a Noble Shade quad!! Which colour combination is it in? How do you like it compared to quads/quints from their other series?
Very jealous of geting to meet up with other bloggers!
ReplyDelete& the shu uemura blush looks gorgeous :)
that's a beautiful lunasol palette :D! I have a couple of Inouvi's blushes that I switch around daily. They're very wearable and pigmented :)
ReplyDeleteMelliesh is one of the most popular ones in Japanese mag. Some says its equivalent with Candydoll/Dollywink. So HK has it? Can u help me check the price of it? I should email u bout it else I gonna spam ur comments here. :p Liese Hair Cocktail does smells very yummy but I would recommend you to get Essential. It is much better. ^_^
ReplyDeleteThank you so much <3
ReplyDeleteIt was -17 today, yikes :S
she's so sweet! ^.^ the goat's milk lotion looks really interesting, I love Crabtree & Evelyn's skincare. I really want to try out that concealer! Everyone raves about it, but ack that price tag...
ReplyDeleteThat seems like a wonderful brand! I am in depserate need of new blush!
ReplyDelete<3Chelsea Elizabeth
i use bobbi brown brushes at home for the last 4-5 yrs (tried Mac before... good quality too but not my fav) will try NARS brushes next when my BB ones retire. When i travel my LM brush set is my go-to-staple now!
ReplyDeletehaven't tried B12 creme yet but heard good reviews and some japanese celeb also using it ;)
my Chinese blog is kinda lagging behind, i am in the midst of moving my Yahoo! posts here.
ReplyDeleteoh i never realize you're based in Hong Kong too! yeah i do travel frequently for both work and personal reasons ;) sure let's meet up when i'm in town!
oh very nice! Love the stuff you featured in this post. I love it when you get samples to try out :D
