RMK & Kose Haul

At Isetan Scotts today, I picked up the Kose Seikisho Mask White as there is a special promotion for this weekend only whereby you can purchase two for the price of one (S$35). This is the black peel-off mask that helps to improve skin clarity and remove impurities.

I split the duo with Mag. The tube is 75ml with an expiry date of March 2015. Of the two tubes, only one comes in a plastic box. The promotion is only until Sunday 22 August so if you want to get it, don't wait! It is available at all Kose counters nationwide.

Over at the RMK counter, I also picked up the Irresistible Lips B 28 Rose (S$45, 3.5g) and Nail Color EX P-21 Deep Purple Rose (S$25, 12ml). Both are limited edition items from the new Autumn Brown collection. RMK lipsticks are usually more sheer and shiny but these are creamy and glide on like a dream.


Below are swatches of the five nail polishes in this collection. (Please ignore the grey patches, which are the remnants of the pamphlet paper sticking to the strip.) From left: P23 Dark Purple, P22 Red, P21 Deep Purple Rose, P20 Cherry Pink and P19 Pearl Pink.

Today is also the start of Robinsons Beauty Festival, which includes the exclusive advance launch of MAC's Red She Said collection. Guess where I'll be at lunchtime!

Another discovery that I made last night is that there's a beauty supplies store in United Square that stocks the Korean makeup brand, Castledew and they're running a 20% discount at the moment. There's actually a whole wall display and they have the Color Shot Eyes, but not the Diacut Eyes and Cheeks palettes with 9 shades that I've been lemming ever since I read my buddy, Fleckenschnitte's reviews. Do check out her reviews of Color Shot Eyes quads, Diacut Eyes and Diacut Cheeks! I can't remember the name of the store but it's on either the first floor or basement 1, tucked away in the corner.

Isetan Beauty Weekend Specials for October

Check out the beauty weekend specials that Isetan has lined up for October!



Paul & Joe will have a Vanity Set that includes Face Color Powder B49 in Dim Moonlight, Lip Gloss N06 Honeydew Orange, Mascara Base & Coat, Moisturising Mist and a vanity case for S$88 (usual price: $144). The Face Color shade looks boring though while the Mascara Base & Coat is the recently discontinued version so this looks like P&J just trying to clear their stocks.

The Anna Sui set of Night of Fancy 30ml and Flight of Fancy 30ml for $94 (usual price: $138) looks much more attractive to me! Night of Fancy has yet to launch in Singapore so I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Givenchy has a makeup set that's great value for money. The Pretty Set costs $98 (retail value: $232) and includes Prismissime Eyes 54 Cache Cache, Eye Fly Mascara 17 Night Blue, Vernis Please 152 Beige Whisper, Rouge Interdit Lip 25 Rose Caprice, Very Irresistible Givenchy Men Miniature, Very Irresistible Givenchy Miniature and a pouch. I'll definitely be checking this one out even though I don't own any Givenchy.

If you're a MAC fan, you may be happy to know that Suite Array will launch exclusively at Isetan Scotts from 26 September to 2 October. The collection includes 8 eyeshadow duo compacts and Pearlglide Eye Liners.

With all these sales and specials, it's just impossible to start saving for the holiday collections! Must exercise restraint...
