A Smile's Secret

Hi Guys!!! Here's a summary of what I've got the past weeks.. :P


(L-R) 2 medium sized push-bottle(Beabi), 1 small sized pump bottle(Beabi), Ceramide face mask(The Face Shop), CO-Q10 face mask(The Face Shop), Tea Tree and Bergamot face mask (The Face Shop) <-- repurchase!! Currently my FAVE.!! <3


I'm really a sucker for cool sneakers. I've already got 2 Chucks; but Chucks are already a COMMON-thing these days, so I've been wanting to stand out by owning high-cut sneaks. I got interested in high-cut sneaks ever since I saw Zoo York and Sketchers ads. in the malls.... :) and then.......with lots of persuading... I finally convinced my parents to buy me these awesome pair of shoes!!!


(It has PURPLE soles and comes with an extra neon-yellow lace)

This is my first ever haul from SM Megamall's Forever 21! I only got accessories because we were in a rush so I didn't have the time to thoroughly browse through Forever 21's large boutique.. :))


I would be visiting Forever 21 again tomorrow so I'll try to look through the clothes this time!! hahah :)

PS: I was quite disappointed with Garnier's Light Clarifying Foam even before I started using the product itself. I bought a 50mL bottle to try the product out. To my dismay when I shone light behind the product even before I used it, I saw it being only more than a half full!!


Grr... Is it really containing 50mL of the product?? The bottle itself looks like a 50mL bottle to me; if you only fill it up only more than half-way, will it still be 50mL??

I really hate being cheated on the most... :(

I went to SM Megamall last last week and this was what I got from Etude House. :)
So far this is the first time that I went to Etude House and just had a mini shopping spree.. :)) hahah (we were in a rush!!! hahha >.<)

My FIRST mini-haul from Etude House...:))

(T-B)Color Me Nude Lipstick, Happy Teatime face wash in Peach Tea (I love the scent of this cleanser!!!)

I purchased the face wash because I'm out of my Kiri Honey cleanser, and I wanted to try this cleanser out. I became interested in this cleanser because of its uniqueness and because of Echoli's(Youtube Beauty Guru) review on this cleanser.
Watch the review here.

That's it guys!!!
Thanks for commenting!!

**Next post would be my FIRST Forever 21 haul.

PS: Sorry for the vertical pic.!!! It just came out like that after I uploaded it... <(@)_(@)>

Hey guys!!! I went Etude House crazy again and bought another haul!!! :3 I'm really a usual customer there; even the SA's know me already!!! hahaha :)
N-Eways, here's the haul:

You might be wondering why its in a box, well I was trying to be environmentally friendly so I asked my buy to be placed in a paper bag. Unfortunately, their paper bags are out-of-stock already so the SA asked me if it would be okay if they just boxed it in place of the paper bag, so I said yes. They still used plastic in wrapping up the box including the freebies though.. **sigh** purpose FAILed!! hahah

I have two Etude House pens, 3 pink and 1 blue Lee Min Ho folders already!! hahah :)

(T-B)Aqua Sherbet Lotion, Mask brush(According to the SA it is recommended when using the sleeping mask so as to promote even coating and conservation of the product. Its just P78 only so I bought it.),Sleeping Pack(brightening), 2 Hyaluronic acid face masks)

PS Sorry for the vertical picture, it just went vertical when I uploaded it... :(

That's it guys!!!

Much Love,
enchi :3

Bought these masks in The Face Shop MOA. Can't wait to try them out!!!! :)

A quickie about the movie LETTERS TO JULIET


All in all the movie was a 3 star out of 5. It was a touching and inspirational story about love being ageless and boundless. True love exists! We just have to wait a bit for destiny ti do its magic!! :)

You must be confused about my rating since I'm giving the movie itself a nice feedback, but just so you know, my rating was affected by the external factors in the movie house. E.G. the insanely humorous coughing of a guy in the lower level of the movie house when the touching scene was on! I think that you can pretty much imagine how the sad atmosphere quickly changed into loOong giggles, snickers and a bit of full-bellied laughters! :))

N-Eways, I also got a bit restless during the first parts of the movie because there wasn't really any excitement going on, but as the movie neared its end, I got really hooked to the movie. :)

A definite recommendation to those romantic hearts out there...<3

That's it for now...

Much Love,

Lip and Eye Make-up Remover


Review:
Love it! It removes everything! It's also gentle so it doesn't irritate my eyes,lips and face. It even has a nice smell. <3 :3

Look!!


Dear Darling Tint (02)



Review:
It has a nice natural-reddish color so it doesn't look too strong. I just dab it on my lips 6 times(3 dabs on the upper lip and 3 dabs on the lower lips) and press my lips together while moving each lip left to right opposite each other to distribute evenly. Whala!! Natural-looking tinted lips.
Watch out! It's a bit drying on the lips. Best to use a clear lip balm over it.

Swatches:

on lips(before)


(after)

Much Love.
