Haul-a-thon Week I - Duty Free haul

Hi everyone, 

As mentioned in my previous post, it is Haul-a-thon time this week at The Vanity Bag Diaries.

This post features my duty free haul from the Changi airport. So I really tried to be a good girl and spent less on makeup and a bit more on skincare ;)

I have been wanting to try Origins since a while now and this is what I bought from the brand, Origins 'A perfect world moisturizer', 'GinZing eye cream', 'Clear Improvement Charcoal mask'.

N now to  some makeup n bits ..
I am no longer an OPI Virgin :). Maybelline Rocket Mascara was one of those counter purchases.. Estee Lauder Pleasures has always been on my wishlist ..

From OPI, I bought Original Nail Envy, Rapid Dry Coat and Pink Flamenco (swatched HERE).I have tried all three n I must say I am a fan :)..

I did not buy much makeup, as I usually go crazy, keep hoarding and am unable to use it all and it pains me to see them go wasted .. so anyways this is the star product that I treated myself to ..*drumroll* YSL Rouge Pur Couture number 4 .. A haul cannot be complete without a luxe lipstick :)

What is your favorite of the haul ?

Coral Crush

I have mentioned before on my blog, that I was only into nude and pink shades, and really my experiments with color have only started after I started blogging :) .. and boy am I glad :) 

Copper Coral, Crosswires & See Sheer from Right to Left

Copper Coral, Crosswires, See Sheer from  Top to Bottom

Today I have a post on my coral crushes featuring

• Mac Lustre See Sheer : This is the simple, sweet and subtle shade of the lot . See Sheer is a lustre finish by MAC and hence sheer and glossy. This a peachy coral shade, perfect for everyday. A very easy shade to wear. 
  
• Mac Creemsheen Crosswires : This I like to call as a colorful, cheerful n confident shade. To me, this is a perfect coral for spring n summer. I have really enjoyed wearing this all summer. The best is that this can be worn for both daytime and nightime looks. Check out the detailed review here
  
• Estee Lauder Copper Coral - This is definitely, the big, bad and the bold shade  of the lot. This is without a doubt a perfect bold lipstick for a night out. This is the Estee Lauder Signature lipstick and is so moisturizing and long lasting. The formula is smooth and creamy and super shiny :) . Total love :)

Which are your current favorite coral lipsticks ? Have you tried any of the above lipsticks ?
