In case you missed it.
Get samples of Cure Natural Aqua Gel here at their website
I was kind of sold after watching this
Cure Natural Aqua Gel works as a gentle exfoliator in removing dead skin cells. I've already tried the testers at Watsons. Got a lot of white flakes from rubbing on my hand. It also promises that those white flakes you get are really from dead skin and not from the exfoliator. I wonder if they are hinting Ginvera's Marvel Gel in any way. I'm currently using Ginvera's Marvel Gel so maybe a review to compare after I get to try this on the face. Do get a sample because this product is selling a pricey $38 in Watsons. It's best to try before buying. :p
KOSE Mask White also giving out samples at their site but I'm a little late. :(
It's currently on hold but for those interested, just bookmark it so that you can redeem it if they decide to reopen again.
That's all.

Watsons 21st Anniversary Sale (26 Feb to 25 March)
[off-topic] If anyone's interested in the upcoming John Little cardmembers' sale mailer, I have it but I'm not posting since Kimoko did. You can check out her photos (so much clearer). I'm very excited since it does look promising. I'm jotting down a list of items to buy. :)
Their current promotion is very tempting too. Not too sure whether it applies to all items but if you are not planning to spend $100 and above, I don't think it's worth it.
Not much.
Only bought these.
Avene Thermal Spray - 2 big bottles for $29.90
Box of Watsons Green Tea Mask - $6.95 (for every $10 purchase)
I don't really like Watsons masks but this green tea masks really work well for acne. Especially for new acne that just popped up and inflamed and those that are terribly painful. That's why I had to stock up on this. Especially when it's so cheap now.
As for the thermal water spray, I've heard good reviews about it for setting makeup and calming the face when irritated. Decided to try it out. :)
Took photos of the catalogue too since it's not up on Watsons website yet. Click the photos to see a bigger version (yes bigger, but not much clearer. :\). Sorry if some of the photos are blurred. Took coffee and my hands got shaky.
Posting such photos is a pain. >.< Hope you find some great deals though.:) -edited- Watsons online catalogue is available on their site. You can check it out for clearer details.

Review: Joppa Tinted Concealer Base
I realised I've lost interest in spreeing/online shopping recently.
Only ordered this tinted concealer base from Joppa Minerals. One item.
But you see two, or rather four items? No your eyes aren't playing tricks. I got a free eyeshadow sample along with my item. But instead of one package, two packages turned up at my door. Think I got lucky.
Sorry the ingredient list is blurred.
The tinted concealer base is recommended for those using mineral makeup concealer. It's suitable for those who find their powder concealer not adhering well to their face.
A quick review. The texture of the base is like lip balm in jars. It's not creamy, but rather dry in the pot and would need a good rub to get some out. But I find it moisturizing and spreads rather easily on the face. It gives a sheer coverage and goes on a little tinted. I think it might show up distinctly on very fair skin but for me, it wasn't obvious and helps to conceal a little bit.
Tested it with Everyday Minerals colour correctors for the undereye (Peach and Sunlight). I had problems with them for correcting my dark eye rings because the powder concealer just refuse to stick no matter how I applied them. And yes, with this, it works very well for me. But it's still very likely for the area to turn cakey if too much powder is used as the powder adheres to the base quite well.
Pros: Smooth application, moisturizing, powder adheres well to it.
Cons: Very unhygenic to keep digging your finger into the pot (I hate lipbalms in pots/jars)
Overall, I think it's not too bad since it works for me. But it does look like something that will dry out quickly.
Joppa is offering free shipping until 5 March 2009. Order your stuff fast if you want to enjoy the deal. :)

Storage Solution
Look what I found!
The perfect storage for all my makeup collection.

Hahaha...
Ok obviously I didn't buy that.
I bought this instead.
Toyogo 3-tiered drawer for $14.90. Bought it off Fairprice Xtra.
It's a beautiful blue shade. Very sad it turns out green in the photo.
The plastic packets next to it and on top of it are compartment dividers where you can get them at Daiso.
I'm still in the midst of packing. Non-mineral items are easy to arrange but it's the mineral makeup that gives me a headache.
I think I still need slip-proof mats because everytime I open it, the items just fly all over the place. :(
Although it's a pretty drawer (out of the other Toyogo drawers), I wouldn't recommend this model. The back of the drawer sinks down when you pull them out. So when you close it, it gets stuck and you have to push it up to close it properly. I think it's a design defect for this model because my uglier Toyogo drawers work perfectly fine. But still, it's just so pretty la.
