Special: Year End Collective Haul 2015! (Chanel, Shiseido, Clinique, Bourjois, Etude House)

Year end collective haul time! Last year I did a big collective shopping haul and not surprisingly I have one yet again for the end of 2015! I've started a new job that's been going great since November and so my blog has slowed down a bit recently as I've been getting used to my new schedule. I did give myself the go ahead to spend lots of money in December as I've been very good the last half year on a low buy period. I rarely ever indulge in high end products and made up my mind that I was going to satisfy myself with products that I've wanted forever and still had on my shopping list!

Everything in this haul was purchased over November and December on many different occasions! I finally got myself a fancy, expensive skincare product which I've been thinking about getting for a long time. I picked up two drugstore foundations on a whim, ordered three holy grail lip balms, finally managed to get a black beauty blender, picked up the super pretty clinique cheek pop blush, bought a lip stain product on impulse and got a gorgeous lipgloss from an unexpected place.

Rave Review: Shiseido Shimmery Cream Eye Color in BL711, OR313 & VI305!

Creamy, colorful, shimmery perfection! I've become a huge user and fan of cream shadows from all walks of price point! I've tried the inexpensive ones from maybelline, other asian brands, Kiko and now I've had the chance to own several from Shiseido! These bad boys were on my radar for some time, they were not a must-buy but when I was on holiday last year in Bandung, Indonesia with my boyfriend we were in a big mall and when I realized that these were cheaper I just had to get two...and then I went back and got one more!

If you're a fan of creamy, smooth, fine shimmer and you love waterproof eyeshadow do continue below for the swatches and my review! Check my holiday in Bandung Indonesia (check out here) and the beauty, skincare and food items I hauled from the trip (check out here)!

Review: Shiseido InteGrate Milky Flower Cheek Limited in 1 Flower Pink!

Milky! Shiny! Flowers! Don't as me what that's exactly suppose to mean! Those exact same words are on the front of the packaging! I think the 'milky' refers to the gradient colors and how the shades are a bit pastel/soft in tone, the 'shiny' maybe due to the shimmer and the 'flowers'...well that one remains a giant mystery to me! 

This beautiful blush was purchased through the Japanese cosmetics site Ichibankao.com, the sell everything from Japanese drugstore brands like Kate, Visee, Lavshuca to departmental store high end brands like Jill Stuart, THREE, Addiction and Suqqu!

This brand InteGrate is a Shiseido owned brand and it can be found on the website under 'Shiseido'. All prices on the website include shipping so what you pay for both the product/shipping is the price listed for each product!

Rave review: Shiseido Ibuki Purifying Cleanser!

Ibuki Purifying Cleanser! For those who aren't aware many asian skincare lines have several types of cleansers...usually there's a 'gentle' one and a 'purifying' one. I have used up two types of cleanser from Shiseido's more affordable line Aqua label and they were damn amazing. I decided it was about time to buy one from Shiseido! 

I've been eyeing products from the Ibuki range which is targeted for youth and ladies in their 20s. I knew I wanted something that could take off make up besides being a face wash so I knew I had to get the purifying cleanser!
