I'm in no way a shopaholic. I dread shopping so much because I hate trying on clothes. More often than not, I find clothes too expensive so I don't shop for them very often. I leave that part to my mom. My mom's always in charge shopping for my clothes. She's always updated with fashion so I get updated through her. Now that I am away from my mom, my wardrobe don't get updated that much too. That is a sad true story.
One thing I don't feel much guilty buying are make up. I know it's not practical to buy a lot of make up but I don't mind that much. I love spending on make up more than on clothes. The reason behind is unknown but I'm crazy like that. Being the kuripot that I am, I don't just go crazy shopping for make up also. I do this in moderation. I still have my limits. I try to think what I like most before I go buy it.
Recently, I went make up shopping at Sephora Singapore and after much thought, these were what I purchased.

| Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in Dark |
I wanted a matte bronzer for the longest time. I swear. The only reason that kept me from buying a matte bronzer is that because I already have The Body Shop Shimmer Wave Bronzer so I stuck with that. I used it last summer to give me that bronze-y glow. I liked it, it served it's purpose but I stopped using it when summer was over. It's shimmer was a bit too much for everyday use.
I also have my Benefit 10 box contour and highlight kit which I am so in love with. Yes! If I can marry it, I will. I kid. I use this almost everyday to contour my cheeks so I didn't feel the need to buy a bronzer ASAP.
I love contouring my cheeks so I decided that I need to buy a matte bronzer since I don't have one. I was so torn between this one and Benefit Hoola. I love love love love Benefit products so for a while, I was supposed to get the Hoola but I ended up getting this Mac MSF because Benefit's packaging is too bulky for on-the-go make up kits. I would have to carry 3 boxes with me because I was also planning to buy Benefit Coralista.
Anyway, I chose Mac instead because it was easier to carry around.

| Mac blush in Pink O' Peach |
The only reason I got this Mac Pink O' Peach is because my BFF is using this color and I'm inggitera like that. No, seriously, I love how this blush give her face a nice flush without looking like she has so much going on on her cheeks. So I was convinced that I was going to get the same blush and I did not make a mistake. I love how it applies to my cheeks. The blush is matte so I still apply highlighter over it. I love a little highlight. It really doesn't matter, it's just a personal prerogative. ;)
Note to self: Next blush on purchase would have to be one with a little shimmer.
Urban Decay Naked Palette has long been in my wish list and they released a Naked 2 palette. I was supposed to get that except it was out of stock in the Sephora I went to so I got the Urban Decay Sustainable Eye shadow Box instead.
This palette did not disappoint. There were numerous palettes to choose from but I chose this because I feel that it has the most variety of eye shadow colors and all of them are wearable. They are so pigmented love using them.

I will not let this trip pass without getting myself a nice lipstick. I love lipsticks. I don't have a lot but they're one of my faves. They make me look alive.
I did not get any more Mac products since the price is not cheaper compared here. It actually costs more there but considering the 7% GST refund that I will get, I still bought stuff. So I got something that I cannot buy here, Sephora matte lipstick in baby pink. I realized I didn't have much pink lipsticks so I want to stock on them. It's a bit too matte, it feels too dry on your lips but you get used to it after a while and it stays long on your lips so for me, it's an okay lipstick. I don't see why I won't get Sephora lippies again. :)
I also picked up a body scrub on my way to the check out but I still have yet to try this product! I bet it's good in moisturizing your skin because my BFF loves this. She got one and told me it moisturizes her skin very well.
This was the last thing I purchased. I even purchased it in a different Sephora branch because they were out of stock in the Ion Orchard branch. I wanted to try these out since they were only SGD12.00. I even bought two!

| Sephora make up brush cleanser |
My thoughts with this make up brush cleanser is that it's not worth the money. It may cost less than the mac cleanser but it's also because it's smaller. It doesn't perform as well. I have to spray so much product in my brush before it cleans my brush. I am not satisfied. I want to throw these away because they annoy me. But oh well, maybe I'll just give one bottle away and deal with the first one I opened.
I may have not bought a lot but they were enough to make me a happy shopper! Simple things make me happy and I am glad that they do. I don't need to spend to much to please myself. :)
xx,
Annie
