I am so excited to share to you the makeup craziness I picked up at SG! I have been itching to use them but I needed to take pictures of it for the blog first. #bloggerduties. :) A little disclaimer: I am not in any way bragging the things I bought. I just thought it's fun sharing stuff like this because I love looking at hauls from other beauty bloggers too :)

Clarisonic Mia 2 

As my mom and I were walking at the Marina Bay shoppes, we saw Sephora and it felt like the heavens just opened its gates. I was so excited! As was my mom. I've apparently infected my mom with my makeup addiction.

 I got the Clarisonic Mia 2 in the color white. The Sephora lady told me that this was the newest Clarisonic. I've been curious about this and I wanted to try it out because I wanted to see it's effectiveness in exfoliating. It was quite pricey though. I got this at about $200.00 (Singaporean). I'm about to find out if it's worth the splurge.

Clockwise from left: Make Up For Ever Aqua Brow #20, Urban Decay Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion, Bioderma Sensibio, Caudalie Beauty Elixir, Shu Uemura Hard 9 Eyebrow Pencil, Benefit Gimme Brow

I got all these from Sephora too except for the Bioderma which I found at a store called Guardian. It's like a Watson's here in the Philippines; and the Shu Uemura pencil which I bought at ION mall. I'm most excited to try out the Caudalie Beauty Elixir since all my favorite Youtube beauty gurus have been raving about this.

The Bioderma has been so in demand in the Philippines and have been flying off the racks from online stores that I actually don't want to place an order and wait for it. I don't have that much patience. The excitement will kill me! Haha. I was happily surprised I found this at Singapore! :)

The Shu Uemura pencil has always been my holy grail eyebrow product so I decided to buy a back up. And since I'm obsessed with Cheska Garcia-Kramer's brows, I decided to get the MUFE Aqua Brow.

Too Faced La Creme Lipsticks (L to R) in Cinnamon Kiss, Sweet Maple, Naughty Nude, Spice Spice Baby

I've heard so many good things about the Too Faced La Creme lipsticks. Not to mention the lovely swatches made by beauty bloggers. When I first saw this online I knew I had to get it. There are lots of MLBB shades and those are my type! Which explains why I got mostly nude colors. Also because I had too much reds, bright pinks, and oranges in my arsenal. These would be a great addition to my collection :)

Tom Ford Lip Color Shine #07 Nubile, Cheek Color in #01 Love Lust (left) and #05 Ravish (right), Eye Color Quad in #05 Silvered Topaz, Cheek Brush

This is probably the most I've spent in makeup in just one day. The Tom Ford makeup line is incredibly expensive! I went to Tangs in Orchard Road. It's like a department store full of high end and luxury makeup brands, among others. And the Tom Ford counter was what I went to first as I entered the store, trying hard not to get distracted by the other brands. I was so happy I got most of my Christmas wish list! I've been drooling over this makeup since I first heard about it. I would love to get more from this brand but then I wouldn't have enough money to try out other brands available at the store. Their blushes were around 70.00 SGD and the eyeshadow quad was at 100.00 SGD. Dayuum! Don't even get me started with the brush. Good thing Singapore offers tax rebates to their tourists.

Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Powder in #20 and Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in #20 Beige

Next up was Chanel. I only got two items from them (although I wanted more). The Vitalumiere foundation has been in my wishlist from the previous year and it's only now that I got the chance to buy it. I'm excited to try this out since it's a lightweight foundation.

There's something you guys should know about me. After every makeup shopping I do, I sit on the bed and one by one stare at all the things I bought. And it makes me smile. Please don't think I'm weird. Haha. And as I was sitting there on my bed at the hotel, I noticed my Les Beiges compact made this rattling sound. I think there was a glitch in the packaging. Ugh! Y'all know how O.C. we are when it comes to our packaging. I did not get to return it though because I was too lazy and my legs were hurting from all the walking I did :(

Guerlain Crazy Pearls Meteorites

You know what it is. If you haven't seen my previous post about meteorites, then let me tell you now. I AM OBSESSED. And I'm specially obsessed when they come out with limited edition ones! This is for their Holiday 2013 collection. Isn't it beautiful?! Too bad the pressed powder was sold out :(

L to R: YSL Le Teint Touch Eclat Foundation, Parisian Nite Rue de Babylone Blush, Rouge Pur Couture #66, Touche Eclat Radiant Touch #3.5,  Rouge Volupte #3

As I'm writing this and inserting the photo, I realized how much makeup I bought. Lol. Anway, let us take a moment and appreciate the limited edition blush were seeing in the photo above. Isn't it a class of its own? Love! I wish YSL included a velvet pouch for this though. It's too beautiful not to have it's little cocoon. I can't wait to take makeup porn-ish photos of this beauty. :)

The Le Teint Touch Eclat liquid foundation is on my must buy list but for some reason I did not buy it when I saw it at the counter. My mom ended up getting one for herself because she was in a search for a good foundation. And then she saw their newest liquid foundation which was the Youth Liberator and she ended up giving her touche eclat foundation to me. Yeyyyy!

When you're makeup shopping, never be too shy to ask for samples. I know I'm not. I love freebies! <3 Yes, everything in the photo above are freebies, even the perfume! You see? It won't hurt to ask. :)

 I'm sorry for drowning you with all these pictures. I had so much fun shopping at Singapore. Most specially because the brands there are not available in the Philippines. I wish they could bring those brands to our country. I would also like to mention that the ladies at the makeup counters are actually very friendly. It was easy communicating with them since most Singaporeans are quite fluent in english. And what made it more pleasant was that some of the ladies at the counters there were Filipino's. It's always nice to bump into our kababayan. :)

 If you're a makeup-holic like me, and you're planning to go to SG, here are the top places you should go to:

1. TANGS, Orchard Road
2. Tagashimaya, Orchard Road
3. Sephora, Marina Bay Shoppes and Paragon Mall
4. Robinsons, Orchard Road

Have fun shopping! :)
