Haul time! Sephora at Rome

I got a few beauty/skincare products from Sephora during my trip at Rome. It's my first time visiting Sephora hahhaa so I purchased some of their products instead of products from other brands.. even though I really want to get some goodies from Urban Decay and Too Faced... ><

Here are the things I bought in Sephora...

Sephora day cream with SPF 15 - tried on my hands, not too thick nor sticky but it gives a dewy finish on my hands.. looking forward to try them out!

Sephora single eyeshadow - N.26

Very pigmented and love the shimmery bit. It becomes my go-to eyeshadow now :D

Swatch on my hand - can't really see the pigmentation on screen, but the colour really pops out when I put that on my lids :)

Sephora Rouge Shine Lipstick - N.39

Swatch on my hand - Quite shimmery and the color is very buildable!

Sephora Professionnel Smudge brush No. 14

Sephora Daily Makeup Brush Cleaner - Heard reviews on these for quite a while, finally got to try it. I think it's quite good for cleaning brushes on a daily basis, the scent is quite nice too. I used to use the MAC ones but now I like this more as it is uses a spray bottle. You need to pour the MAC one out yourself  to clean the brushes but I normally pour too much of it... 

That's it for my Sephora haul! I wish there is a Sephora in the UK too.. 

Travel time! Rome, Italy

Last week, I went to Rome for a 3-days-2-nights trip with my boyfriend ;) yes, a pre-celebration of Valentines' Day! Rome is such an amazing city, love the heritage, love the Italian food and love the annual sale there! There were so many spots to visit that I walked almost 8 hours everyday lol but it surely worth visiting. I could tell how glorious the Roman Empire used to be.. There is one special thing in Rome in February is that there is an annual sale during this month! Everything was on crazy discounts, even those high end brands like Moncler and Salvatore Ferragamo! ANDDDDD There is SEPHORA in Italy which I have never visited before. I always see reviews on Sephora products and how amazing the collection of beauty products the shop owns. ( the place where I spent most $ there!) Mini haul will be coming soon :)

No more talking, let's get to the pictures!

Making a wish in front of Fountain di Trevi

Pizza time! Love Ham&Cheese and Potato pizza :)

Climbing up to the Cupola at St Peter's Basillica

Lovely breakfast provided by the Hotel - I stayed in Hotel Aurelius (Highly recommend!)

Overview of Vatican City - I felt peace when I was there and saw the Pope too!

Roman Forum - amazing architecture

Of course, one cannot leave Rome without having Gelato! Gelato sandwich @ FLOR

Colosseum - sorry for my excited face, really excited when I saw this! An architecture that I have heard about since 3 years old I guess :p

Tag: What's in my makeup bag

Some girls do put a lot of cosmetic products in their makeup bag but I only carry a few items in my tiny bag. I always have these items with me, they are my 'life-savers' during the day lol I can't leave home without having all these in my handbag. No matter what blusher/lipstick I put on in the morning, I still keep using the stuff below to do my touch-ups as these colors won't go wrong on any of my looks! That's enough of talking, here is what I have in my bag...

(From left to right)
Blusher: Burberry - Light Glow Misty Blush No. 08 |  Concealer: Shu Uemura  Point Concealer Medium Light Beige |  Lipstick: Bebe Poshe Dewy Kiss 07 Victoria | Eyeliner: Chic Choc Gel Liner Pencil BR01 | Powder: Canmake Secret Chiffon Pact

My makeup bag! It's around the size of a palm :)
It was from the M.A.C. Julie Verhoeven collection Lip Stick set that I bought in Hong Kong a few months ago.
