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 ?

Manicure Monday - OPI Pink Flamenco

I am no longer an OPI Virgin ..This Manicure Monday features OPI Pink Flamenco, a fun, bright magenta pink shade, perfect to get rid of Monday blues.

When I was standing at the OPI counter at the Singapore airport, I was like a child in the candy shop, absolutely clueless about what to pick as I wanted it all :)..OPI Pink Flamenco, is what came home with me..

OPI Pink Flamenco is a gorgeous, bright pink colour, beautiful creamy formula, absolutely dream to apply ..

What can I say, the first impressions of the OPI Nail Lacquer are mind blowing ! Its a bit early to give the detailed review, but I will keep you guys posted.

I am wearing two coats of OPI Pink Flamenco, topped with OPI Rapid dry coat, we will see how well it lasts ..That's it for today.

Coming up soon on the Vanity Bag Diaries

I have a quick NOTD Post today featuring OPI Red me a fortune cookie.. 
This is the first professional mani I got done here in Sydney and well the experience was nothing great but nonetheless I had a great girls day out with my friend ..


OPI Red me a fortune cookie is a stunning orangish red shade, so perfect for summers   (though summers are so far :(.. )

I am back for good now.... I stopped posting because I just did not feel like it. A lot of things were going on in my office back then and then I lost my job and some how I just wanted my time off and did not want to be accountable for anything. I have been at home for two months now and enjoying being at home ...I have missed blogging and will be posting regularly now ..

Stay tuned for the following EOTD in the up coming post ..

Do you sport fun summary shades in winter ? Which shades have you been rocking lately ?
