Soap & Glory Soaper Heroes Set (Clean on Me, Flake Away, Righteous Butter, Girligo, Hand Food) | Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil | Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 50+ | Smashbox Photo Matte Anti-Shine | YSL Rouge Volupte Radiant Lipstick in #8 Fetish Pink | YSL Rouge Volupte Radiant Lipstick in #9 Pink Caress | Sephora Express Dry Shampoo | Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk | Topshop Lips in The Damned | Topshop Bronzer in Sandcastle | L'oreal Elnett Satin Normal Strength Hairspray

With every trip, comes a beauty haul. I can't feel anymore blessed and thankful to my parents who bring me along and on top of that cope with my beauty addiction. A big big thank you to them! A lot of these are stuff that I actually need while the rest were merely indulgent purchases. I was sorta disappointed with the Sephora in Singapore because they didn't have almost all the things on my list, the only two brands that they had that I was on the look out for were Soap & Glory and Josie Maran (and their products weren't even complete)! Then again it's alright since it held me back from spending even more.

None of these products are repurchases so I'm completely new to them (except for the YSL and Topshop lipsticks). I'd love to hear your thoughts on the products if you've tried any of them before, so make sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Singapore '13 Food Photo Diary

I just got back from Singapore yesterday and I thought I'd share with you guys another Food Photo Diary from my trip! Check out my previous Food Photo Diary post when I went to Hong Kong here. 

Have you been to SIngapore? What's your favorite's Singaporean food? Mine would definitely have to be Chicken Rice, Laksa and Kaya Toast!

Benefit Rockateur Box o' Powder

Benefit Rockateur Box o' Powder HKD 290

I love this blush, I really do... So let's start off with the one thing I don't like about it - the packaging. I just think that the lace, crocodile skin and chains came all together kind of (seriously) tacky. Come on Benefit, you could've done way better than that! Packaging aside, it's been receiving lots of love for the treasure, that is the actual blush, that can be found inside the not so pretty box.

It's described as a 'provocative rose gold cheek powder' that I think suits most skin tones, particularly lighter ones. It looks quite peachy to me with a slight rose gold shimmer, giving a really pretty and healthy satin sheen to the cheeks. It's the blush I've been using for the majority of the time since I purchased it almost two months ago in Hong Kong, which I'm sure you can already tell because of the 'rock' written on the blush starting to wear off. Another thing I love about the product aside from its color is how soft and finely milled the powder is. It's definitely a lot more fine and smooth than the other Benefit Box o' Powders, to the point that if I pressed my finger on it hard enough it would sink in. 

Just like any other Box o' Powder, it contains a small mirror in the packaging and a brush. I prefer using my Real Techniques Blush Brush over the one that comes along with it, but I have found a good use for it. It's wide, thin in length and angled which I find is the perfect brush to use for highlighting the top of my cheeks.

What do you think of Rockateur?
