SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER FASHION HAUL! // HAUL

Hi Lavs!

Finally, I did a little bit of shopping here and there for the last two months! *yeay!*
Even though it's not that much, but I'm really excited to show you my purchase!

First things I want to show you are from H&M

I got this when I went to the H&M VIP party, where everything was 20% off.
Although it was packed, like seriously, the line was no joke guys. I literally have to queue for 2 hours to reach the register, but sacrifice has to be made and I'm really happy with my purchase, so no regrets :) Here are my picks!

H&M maxi dress
(size: S), couldn't find the exact same one, but here is a similar one, available online HERE

I'm really into that effortless muted colors look lately and I think this dress is perfect for that.
I actually tried on this dress in black as well, but I think the grey one suits me better.

H&M striped basic t-shirt
(size: L) available online HERE

I actually don't have that many basics in my wardrobe, so I decided to snatch this striped one.
It's actually pretty big on me, but slouchy look is in right now, so, yeah..
(Fact: it was the last one and I just really can't resist! I know a lot of you can relate to that :p)

H&M crossbody sequin bag
(FREEBIES)

________________________________________________________________

The next following things are from UNIQLO

It was my first time to UNIQLO and even though I didn't plan to buy anything at all, but you know, things just happened. I couldn't resist the SALE that they had, so this is the result of my impulsive side.

Sunglasses

Normal black plastic frame and a slight blue tint on the glass. Surprisingly, the UV protection is pretty good! It's been a lifesaver for my eyes, and with the price that they had, it's totally a steal!

White button up

Well, you can't have too many basic white shirt and this one is pretty unique too. It has mesh panel on the shoulder area. I'm thinking of using this to work, but I think it can go well with casual pieces as well.

And lastly.. my new shoes! <3

TLTSN Black platform pump
It is pretty high, but the platform makes it more comfortable than a usual pumps, and it was on SALE for a pretty good price too! LOVE this!

And that's pretty much all I got for the past 2 months!

I tried to be a smart shopper, so I didn't buy too many stuffs that I just end up regret buying ;)

I think I'm going to do some shopping this month as well, so gonna get back to you with my next haul!

What's your best buy in the previous month?

xx,

Valencia

THE BODY SHOP LIQUID EYELINER // REVIEW

10:44 PM

Hi LAVS :)

I decided to write a review for an eyeliner! Well, this is kinda new to me, because I'm not that big of a make up junkie, but when I go out on special event, I do like to put on some make up. I also do a lot of make up experiments on my spare time now, because I just realize how fun it is. *I know, it's a bit too late, but hey, better late than never right!*

For liquid eyeliners itself, I don't use them on a daily basis *since I find it's quite a challenge to apply them nicely and quickly at the morning! :p*, but I surely reach to it when I want to have more definition on my eyes for special events, and this body shop one is my current eyeliner that I use.

I got this from my friend for my birthday *thank you love <3* so I can't really tell you guys how much this was, but from my research, the price of this eyeliner on the body shop website is £9.00, so it is around IDR 150.000 I guess.

(This is what the packaging looks like, mine's pretty busted already)

It comes with 3 ml of product, which I think is a reasonable amount for the price, because we don't really use that much of eyeliner anyways.

I'm not really a big fan of the applicator though, because it comes with a felt-tip, the sharpie kind, which is pretty thick if I want to draw a tiny line.

So I usually use a brush from another eyeliner to draw a tiny line.

(top swatch is how thin I like my eyeliner to be and bottom swatch is the thickness that you got from using the original applicator)

As far as the formula goes, I really like it.

The black is just dark enough for my liking, and it dries up pretty fast for a liquid eyeliner.

Even though it is non-waterproof formula, it claims to be smudge resistant, and I think the claim is true, because I never get those raccoon eyes when I use this eyeliner.

(I tried to rub my swatch and as you can see, rather than smudging, it crumbles into little black pieces.)

Here is how the eyeliner when applied to my eyes (excuse my mom in the background :p)

I don't know whether to recommend this or not though, because I haven't tried a lot of other eyeliners in the market (give me recommendation which eyeliner to try please ! :)) but if you want to try this out, I think it's a pretty decent product that stands up to its claim. It's pretty pricey compared to other eyeliners though.
Overall:
+ Smudge proof
+ Good pigmentation
+ Dry up quickly when applied
- Non-waterproof
- Felt tip applicator

Hopefully this review was helpful !

What's your favorite eyeliner?

xx,

Valencia
