I got my Christmas present a few days late this year, because its shipping from USA was late. It’s the season, I must say. Still very much worth the wait since my last post. Thank you hubby!

It was delivered to my doorstep on 30 December , in a medium sized cardboard box, with the word Sephora printed over the front. (Yippee!)

Tip: all the local stores have sold out. You’ll have to buy direct from Sephora USA– vPost assists in your purchase and shipping to Singapore!

The 180 colour blockbuster palette from Sephora! It looks exactly like the Sephora shopping bag when it is closed…

And is absolutely stunning when open! Every possible eyeshadow and lip gloss colour you can want, various eyeliner and lipliner colours, blusher colours and mini brushes for your convenience as well.

I got 2 other “side” gifts with it– a mini lip gloss set and a 4 colour concealer palette. White lip gloss is great to gloss up any lip colour. (As I’m quite fair, I love lip colours with a lot of white in it e.g. bubblegum… My sis-in-law gave me an Elizabeth Arden lip gloss in Pink Pout which was very pleasing too!)

Have also been looking everywhere for green concealer. Not many places sell it. Green concealer hides any redness around the nose and lips very well– a good trick to brighten up the face, making it look fairer on the whole. An indispensable part of my makeup set. Just another tip: lavender concealer serves great to highlight the chin and nose areas. Don’t worry, it looks neither green nor purple if you blend it well.

Gaga over my Christmas gifts this year… And even more gaga over the festive celebration– spending time and exchanging gifts with my family and loved ones. It was a Christmas filled with warmth and joy. May every Christmas be like this one for many years to come! ^^
