Sephora Shopping

SHOPPING TIME!!!

That's what every girl (well MOST) wants to hear.

So, my M.A.C foundation is finishing and i've been hearing and reading raves about Make Up Forever HD Foundation. I do love my M.A.C foundation but i think the salesgirl introduced me a shade darker. Hence I tend to look darker. Though the M.A.C doesn't seem to oxidize, but i don't really want to look DARKER. I want to look FAIR FAIR FAIR!

So yes, i've decided to try the HD Foundation out.

Sephora has several branches here BUT services varies branch to branch. I visited the one at Marina Bay Sands, and i guess because it was empty, the salesgirl was friendly and extremely helpful. However, at that time i only wanted to buy my eyelash glue.

I visit the Ngee Ann City branch many moons ago, and i never want to step in there if i can help it.

Sephora @ Ngee Ann City

There was absolutely NO SERVICE at all. I stood at the Makeup Forever section for AGES and NOBODY i repeat NOBODY attended to me. And the store wasn't even packed. After a few donkeys minutes later, i managed to make eye contact with a guy promoter. And HE TOTALLY SNUBBED ME! Just look right through me as if I grew up eating glass and walked away to some other section pretending to sort some products.

I totally walked right out there. And yes, i'm never going back in there if i can help it.

SO I asked around, and one of my fashionable friends recommended me to go to the Bugis+ branch. The promoters there are friendlier.

Sephora @ Bugis+

I'm thankful for that advice.

The moment i stepped in, a friendly promoter name Hajah (i think... was trying to take a look at her name tag without seeming like i was staring at her chest.) She's friendly and nice. She recommended me the Makeup Forever HD ($76), the Makeup Forever Concealer ($52) & Stila Eyeliner ($28).

Make up Forever HD Foundation ($76)

Hajah mentioned that this foundation oxidizes quite a bit. Hence she recommended me a colour that is slightly darker and when it oxidizes it would be a little yellow (which suits me perfectly, as my original skin colour is a tad yellow). But i'd have to try it out and "see how".

Make Up Forever HD Pen Concealer ($52)

Not too sure if this is new. But according to Hajah, it's very popular. And it's great for my dark rings. She did apply a little under my eyes and blended it down. Seems legit.

Stila Eye Liner ($28)

I'm currently using the Lee Hyori liquid eyeliner, that is supposedly VERY VERY waterproof and much raved about. But perhaps it's my lids. Even with primer, i realize that the tail end of my eyeliner tends to "melt" hence causing the panda eyes syndrome.

Hajah swears that this eyeliner wouldn't melt. In fact, she's a user and she doesn't even apply primer. Her winged eyeliner seems intact. I'm assuming that since i went in the late evening, she has been working since morning. So with the eyeliner that seems "fresh", it should be a good eyeliner. But i'm going to try and "see how" again.

I can't wait to start my new makeup additions!

Oh, before i forget. The cashier, Hui Li, is also a love. She was smiley throughout the entire process and i even got a free sample moisturizer. Great job! I'm sure to come back to Sephora at Bugis+!
