Quick swatch + tiny haul!

Hey everyone!

Chinese New Year is coming, and boo, I haven't don any spring-cleaning, much less gone shopping for clothes.

Instead, what I've been doing (today at least) is to swatch all the 8 colours of Revlon Lip Stains that are now in Singapore! Revlon Lip Stain isn't a new product - it came out in the States quite some time back, and as usual, Singapore is way too slow. The lip stains are priced at $16.90 each, with a 20% discount over at Watsons now.

 L to R: Dawn, Victorian, Gothic, Flame, Twilight, Frenzy, Forbidden, Passion

The swatches are one quick swipe down. Flame is probably my favourite of the 8 colors here. Will I get it? Probably not, since one of my resolutions for 2012 is to cut down on my spending (well, until I get a job anywayz).

I dropped by Sun Plaza in Sembawang, hoping to purchase Essence's Blue Addicted. However, while the display shelves were still well stocked, Blue Addicted was nowhere to be seen. I was loathed to walk out empty-handed, so I grabbed Essence's Nail Art Express Dry Drops.

 

For $4.30, you get 8ml of product. You need only 1-2 drops (1 is more than enough) for each nail, so this bottle should last you quite a while. Initial impressions are that this is an ok product. It does dry the polish fast, but has an oily feel which disappears after some time. You probably can still nick a nail, especially if you have thick layers of polish. A more in-depth review will be up when I have the chance to test-drive a polish for a couple of days (I can't at the moment, super important job interview on Monday!)

And so that's the end of my quick ramblings! I can't wait for nail wheels to arrive, so I can do nail art designs without thinking of all the events where I'm forced to go without nail polish!
