A Bugis Junction Haul
A short jaunt at Bugis Junction saw me poorer but happier. I had some time to spare so I popped into the mall for a quick browse.
A stop at Sasa had me purchasing a Red Earth Summer Splash kit. Originally priced at S$38, this was on offer at S$15. Consisting of a mineral eyeshadow primer that reminds me of the brand’s Eye Wonder (also an eye primer), two cream eyeshadows and a pigment housed in a gold faux croc-skin case, this set is undoubtedly value-for-money.
I headed to BHG next and to my delight, saw that Kate Diamond Cut Eyes (S$27) had finally arrived in Singapore. I merrily swatched away and finally decided on BR-1, BL-1 and GN-1. Smooth and pigmented, some of the shades blend well and pop unusually.
I also bought Select Eye Colors in Black Selection (S$29), a sturdy neutral/smokey eye palette and Gel Eye Shadow in GY-1 (S$14.50), a pewter shot through with multi-coloured shimmer that dries to a sparkly film.
All these Kate items came with a somewhat generous Kanebo gift-with-purchase comprising a pewter-coloured tote, a Blanchir skincare set and a hair band to hold up hair during face washes (I prefer my Dariya hair sheets though).
I then wandered over to the Pupa display and saw the Smoky Eyes Kits (S$29.90). Taken by their versatility and pigmentation, I snapped both up in a flash.
Last but not least, I grabbed a special palette from Fasio for a special someone.
A happy hefty haul, this bout of retail therapy thrilled me to bits! More details on some of these lovelies later.











how much are the diamond cut ?
hey i narly got that kate quad (the rectangular quad). there were a black and a brown. i wanted to gte both but i decided not to. they are very pretty and LE last year. i decided not to only because i have too much of browns and smoky stuff.
nice haul!
Wow, you have been shopping! Way to go
wooo someone was busy hauling!
ahhhh e new stuff from kate??? sgp hass it????
Hi Anon,
They’re S$27. I’ve edited the post to include the price.
Hey Jojoba,
Get them! I know they’d look fantastic on your eyes. Do the words ‘limited edition’ not strike you with panic, even a little? LOL!
Pinky sweets! How’ve you been? Your turn to shop now.
Hey Yumeko,
I took a leaf out of your book, hahaha!
Hi Jac!
Yep, they’re in!
OG People’s Park has a lovely display of these new Kate goodies.
Kate is at BHG. I may go down & take a look. My office is also near to a SaSa store. Probably will check it out during lunch time. Thx for the updates.
I’ve got my BL-1 and GL-1. Got mascara base, gel shadow and eyeliner too… …the gal is nice…but she didn’t give me the skinset…^..^ only the bag
.. + some samples
You're welcome, Anon. I bought my Kate from the BHG store at Bugis Junction. It's good to be near Sasa!
Wow, Jac, nice haul!
The gwps often change.
Enjoy everything – the lash and liner items you bought are very popular Kate items.
Woah! We have the new Diamond Cut Eyes? Its not overly marked-up though. I bought it about S$20 after conversion from HK.
You make me regret not getting the GN-1! That was the first piece I grabbed but ended up putting it back and getting the other 2 you bought.
Oh, the gel shadow is very reasonably priced too! I can see our Kate selection expanding! hehe
Me likey the Pupa lah! Must go down one day and see see!
Swatch and EOTD pleaseeeeeeeeeee!
Kimmy!
Yep, they're in and quite reasonably priced too, I thought. I contemplated having them CPed in Japan but I figured the good gwp evened things out…plus I HAD to have them then and there, hee! This compulsion is sad, I know.
Get the GN-1 and the Pupa! We'll play together and create EOTDs!
