Guess who's back from the pit of assignments/essays/reading responses/midterms? ʘ‿ʘ
(....well not me...kinda...since I still have a bit of work to do, but that's what reading week is for!)
(for those unfamiliar, 'reading' week = Canadian spring break-ish)
BUT ANYWAYS, SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO DAPHNE FROM SUBGENRE OF A DREAM FOR HOOKING A PLAYA UP WITH THIS UK HAUL!
It all started with the Illamasqua UK sale back in January, where their blushers were 1/3 of their original price. It was the only thing I could think about while I was in class (WE ALL KNOW WHERE MY PRIORITIES LAY, OK), so I asked Daph to hook a playa up and forward my orders to me.
IT WAS A SOLID PLAN UNTIL THERE WERE ONLY TWO SHADES OF BLUSHERS LEFT ON SALE SO THAT WAS A NO-GO. But then I caved in, and pulled a Sleek and Superdrug haul and Daph played the middle man in all this! ʘ‿ʘ
Enough rambling, here's the unboxing video + haul photos!
(Oh dear lawd, the video's blurry + low quality so I apologise 123235465x in advance if you decide to watch...FIRST TIME FILMING AND UPLOADING PROBLEMS ;-;)

OH HELLO SPECIAL GUEST JENN (A Beautiful Zen)!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Daph wrote me a letter in which she called me "crazy blush lady"....I deny nothing. ^
I found Hydraluron on sale and the No.7 Hot Cloth Cleaner this past weekend, so I picked both up!
(SO NO, I DIDN'T GET THEM IN THE UK)
(SO NO, I DIDN'T GET THEM IN THE UK)

So, in total, I picked up:
- Sleek blushes in 'Rose Gold', 'Flushed', and 'Pomegranate' (Daph pressured me to pick up Pomegrante, so)
- MUA 1D blushers in 'Coral Cutie' and 'Rose Riot'
- MUA blushers in 'Bon Bon', 'Bubblegum', and 'Dolly'
- Fresh Cheeks! blushers in 'Guava' and 'Lychee' (Not gonna lie, I picked both of these up for their names...I used to be called 'lychee' because it sounded like my Chinese name...)
One of the better photos of us and I'm blurry *-*
Oh, and I got both of us matching mugs for filming!

(Pft, maybe our glasses are related. But then again, huge glasses are an Asian thing, so idek)
THANKS FOR HAVING ME OVER! I HAD ALL THE FUNNSIES!!!
ReplyDelete(and hello!! didn't i tell you your photos would turn out awesome. i'm glad i was present for your 'creative process' hahaha. seriously...we should maybe film some of that as a spoof vid)

also I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT SHOWING THE SWATCHES OR LIFTING UP THE PRODUCT TO THE CAMERA.
Deletethat is all.
THANKS FOR MAKING THE TREK TO MY PLACE :D
Delete(Eh, the photos turned out awesome because my camera makes them awesome. I could shoot at the worst angle and they'd still look nice, I bet. LOL NEXT TIME WE SHOULD FILM THAT. MAKING THE PRODUCTS LOOK ~ARTISTICALLY RANDOM~)
‘damnit Daph' UH EXCUSE ME??????? I WAS DUCT TAPING EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DIDNT UNRAVEL IN THE SHIPPING PROCESS (not gonna lie and say that I was having a marvelous time doing so and might have lost control of the amount of duct tape I used....) So there's a 3rd party, I was wondering how even the crazy blush lady might have done too big a haul. and yes, like Jenn said, you should tots film your creative process of photographing, I'll be here taking notes. Also YOU HAVE A CHINESE NAME????
ReplyDeleteDaphne | subgenre of a dream | bloglovin | youtube
yes? lol. i'm confused, where did my chinese name come up?
Deleteand yes. i do. don't you? doesn't everyone? all the cool kids have it.
uhhhh - I was talking about Vanessa's chinese name??????
Delete(I also don't know why I said 'student budget' in the video because CLEARLY I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER MY WORDS????)
DeleteDUDE THAT BOX WAS SAFER THAN A SAFE.
Technically, there were 4 parties involved, hah. Trying to reduce my spending here!
Lolz you guys are too cute. Upon finally being able to open the box I would have made the sound of heaven's gates opening (there's no onomatopaeia for it but I hope you know what I'm talking about lol). Nice selection :)

ReplyDeleteLOL well, I only literally met up with her for the first time the other day...so we didn't know each other in person til a few days ago??? (WE BOTH LIVE IN THE SAME CITY, SO IT WAS ABOUT TIME)
DeleteI'm sure there's tons of bbloggers to meet up in the Philippines!
Oh good gosh, not gonna lie, the 1D blushes are actually good quality. They have their own makeup line by MUA!
DARNIT SHAYNE, I'M NOT A MONKEY.
I really want to try Sleeks blush in Rose Gold! MUA blushers are underrated. Their so pigmented I have them in BonBon & Bubblegum too xx
ReplyDeleteIt's soooo beautiful when swatched, but I'm not sure if I would enjoy it as a blush!
DeleteYeah, I applied BonBon the other day, and I had to really sheer it out on my cheeks!
Oh my days I wish I had a canadian/american friend to send me loads of things this way! So lucky xx
ReplyDeleteWAIT, SO I'M NOT A CANADIAN FRIEND?????!??!
Delete(But I wouldn't mind doing a swap with you, haha!)
Of course you're my canadian friend! In fact you are my only Canadian friend.
DeleteWe should totally do a swap sometime. That'd be soo amazing. Do u have Milani in Canada? x

ReplyDeleteAnd I feel you on the fourth year university, it's killing me! But the semester is almost over, right? :)
BeyondBlush
Haha, thanks!
DeleteUGH, so much work to be done before the semester ends though!
You can never have too many blushers!!! I got Sleek's Pomegranate Blush when I did a swap with a UK blogger. It got lost in my stash and I just recently found it again so I'm finally playing with it and testing it. Looks like one of your MUA blushes broke. I'm noticing it because the last blusher I broke was also MUA lol. I hate it when that happens!
ReplyDeleteNEVER TOO MANY BLUSHERS!! :D (I've filled up one of my makeup trays with blushers BUT WHATEVES)
ReplyDeleteI still haven't had a chance to play with Pomegranate, but I did swatch it and it's beautiful!
Yeah, one of the MUA blushes broke when it shipped to my friend's place in the UK. (Darn you, Superdrug!)
I'm content with just leaving it broken though...now I have a loose powder blush!
