Sephora & drugstore makeup Hauls

早前朋友Pok Pok去美國旅行,佢好興奮時我都好興奮,因為可以"搭單"叫佢幫我買香港買唔到的化妝品 (其實主要都係0係Sephora入面可以買得到)。另外仲有呢位好朋友買比我既開架式化妝品做手信,實在太開心喇~~ 搞到我都想快D再去下美加旅行!

由於我實在太多野想買,不能盡錄... 所以只係精簡地講左幾樣我最想要既items。包括MAC兩支唇筆,Anastasia Beverly Hills粉紅睫毛液,兩支Urban Decay閃粉眼線液同埋兩支Kat Von D既唇膏。手信有四支Rimmel x Kate Moss唇膏,Sexy Booster胭脂
同埋Elf Lip Stain(但我返到屋企發現應該跌左... Sorry...)。

My fd Pok Pok went to US few weeks ago, she was so excited and i felt the same! Because I could ask her to get me some makeup products which i cannot find/ buy in Hong Kong (basically all from Sephora). Also she bought me some drugstore makeup as a gift, so so so excited and happy! Makes me wanna go US or Canada!

Since there are toooooo many things i wanna buy, i only listed out a few products that i wanted the most. Including 2 MAC lip pencils, Anastasia Beverly Hills pink mascara, 2 Urban Decay heavy metal eyeliner and 2 Kat Von D lipsticks. Also i got 4 Rimmel x Kate Moss lipsticks, Sexy Booster blush and a Elf lipstain as a gift, woo hoo. (but i found that i've lost/ dropped the lipstain somewhere... prob lost it)


先講下呢兩支超級深色既MAC唇筆,香港MAC本來係冇得賣既。Currant其實我已經買左,因為佢0係Rick Baker系列出現過,不過變左限量版既價錢(即係Mac Pro discount),而且賣完就冇。Nightmoth好多外國化妝師用黎畫漸變咀,可惜香港唔知點解冇賣呢個顏色呢?

First, let me talk about these 2 lip pencils. They are not limited products but you cant normally find them in Hong Kong Mac stores. I bought the Currant one in Hong Kong from the Rick Baker collection, but bought with a limited product price (no Mac Pro discount). And I wanted to buy Nightmoth so much because I saw many foreign makeup artist use it to do ombre lips. These are so cool, dont know why Mac dont sell these colors in Hong Kong.


Currant係好深既酒紅色,比較紫。而Nightmoth比Currant更加深,偏啡黑色。

Currant is a very deep, wine purplish red. And Nightmoth is even darker than Currant, but its a more very dark brownish color.


跟住就係想買好耐但online shop又斷左貨既Anastasia Beverly Hills粉紅睫毛液。其實真係好少牌子有出粉紅色既mascara架,朋友都行左好多間Sephora先買到架,辛苦晒。

And then its the pink mascara from Anastasia Beverly Hills i have been wanting for so long. It's sold out on their website, also in many Sephoras in the US. My fd went to many store to buy this for me... big thank to her!!



裡面除左mascara外仲有支lash coating,聲稱搽可令眼睫毛液更加防水。

There's a lash coating in the box, it helps the mascara last longer and waterproof.




另外Urban Decay呢支heavy metal閃粉eyeliner我已經買過,不個想要多兩個顏色,聖誕節化妝時可以用佢地啦~

I have purchased this Urban Decay heavy metal eyeliner before, wanna get 2 more colors coz they are awesome and so sparkle. Gonna use them for Christmas makeup. 



試上手睇下,但係相機唔太影到D閃粉既閃....

Swatched them on the back of my hand, but the camera doesnt pick up the "bling" very well....


另外我叫朋友幫我揀兩支Kat Von D唇膏,一支鮮紅一支深紅。由於朋友對化妝品冇乜研究,所以呢個重任落左去某位Sephora姐姐身上,哈哈。

I asked my fd to choose 2 Kat Von D lippies for me, 1 crimson red, 1 dark red. As my fd doesnt know much about makeup, so she asked the Sephora staff to choose it for me, haha.


之前買過好多Kat Von D眼影盤,質量都不錯。見佢D唇膏咁靚所以點都買兩支試下。Sephora姐姐幫我揀咀Underage Red同Hellbent,應該都係熱門顏色吧。

Bought many Kat Von D eyeshadow palettes before and they are quite good. Also there are many pretty colors in her lipstick collection, thats why i wanna try them so much. The Sephora staff picked Underage Red and Hellbent for me, guess these are popular colors.


包妝好靚呀!

Nice packaging!



顏色靚呀,而且都好顯色,質地亦十分滋潤。但可能因為咁,所以唇膏雖然好上色不過唔係好實色。

Very pretty colors, quite pigmented and very moisturizing. Maybe because of that, the color is not as opaque as i thought.


Rimmel x Kate Moss唇膏。朋友買左好多支做手信,我揀左呢四支。其實離開左英國之後已經冇再接觸Rimmel既化妝品lu....

Move onto Rimmel x Kate Moss lipsticks. My fd bought a lot of them, and i picked 4. Actually, since i left UK i havent really look at Rimmel products anymore, as i dont get to see them in hk anyway... 



上網睇返先支黑色同紅色包裝既分別。大家都係lasting finish,而紅色包裝係matte。

Checked their website and now i know they are both lasting finish, but the red bottle is a matte color.


搽出黎又冇睇起上黎咁深色bor~

they dont look as opaque as in the bottle~


最後就係呢盒好可愛既Sexy Booster胭脂,唔知咩牌子。

Last one, its the Sexy Booster blush, and.... i dunno what brand it is.



包裝確實好可愛

Cute packaging



背部打開係鏡+胭脂掃,好好既設計! 因市面好多胭脂都唔跟掃,保妝超唔方便!

There's a mirror and a blush brush at the back. Love the design coz not many blush come with a brush, i hate to bring one more brush out for a touch up!



今次忍唔住要立即試用既係Anastasia Beverly Hills粉紅睫毛液。睫毛液好易搽易上色,比我想像中還要上色。不過,好失望地.... 由於本人既眼睫毛實在太短太稀疏,所以搽完mascara base再搽,效果都係強差人意。我期望中既粉紅眼睫毛并唔係咁gaaaa......

Ok, so this time i couldnt wait to try the Anastasia Beverly Hills pink mascara. The mascara is very pigmented, very easy glide on than i expected. BUT, very disappoint is.... my eyelashes! Maybe i have very short and poor lashes, they dont look good even i put on mascara base before the pink mascara........ This is not the pink eyelashes i wanted.... maybe it's fate... :(








要買以上呢D product,可能要等去旅行或托朋友買。最近有Sephora既國家係 - 中國。但係好似好多品牌都冇,最近可能都要去到新加玻吧! 或者可以搵代購網,我也在研究當中。

如果你地都有用緊外國既product,不況話我知有咩好用啦! :)


To buy all these products, you have to buy them when you go travel or ask your fd for help. The nearest Sephora should be in China? But they dont carry these brands above, so i guess you might have to go to Singapore! Or you can find some website for ordering products for you from overseas.

 Let me know if you are using any good/ nice products from Sephora, i will definitely check them out next time when i have chance! :)
