Changi T3 Sightings

On our way to Kuala Lumpur, my friend and I had a few hours to spare at Changi T3 so we had a leisurely brekkie at McDonald's (hmm Turkey bacon!) and had a sniff & swatch spree at Duty Free!

CHANEL goodies:

ROUGE COCO Shine SGD33.50, ROUGE ALLURE SGD32.70

Le Vernis SGD 25.40

I opened the stock drawer and saw a few bottles of Graphite and Peridot!

LANCOME Travel Exclusive skin care sets and makeup palettes:

DIOR Travel Exclusive sets and palettes

DIOR Rose Collection Palette SGD66.50

DIOR Cannage Couture Collection Palette

I love it when I have time to scour the cosmetics section at Duty Free shops, it gives me more control on what I put on my basket, rather than being in a hurry and grabbing all the stuff I fancy without trying them and thinking twice if I really need them. Hahaha! I also spotted the L'Oreal Infaillibles on discount but they are now sold out and SA said they won't be restocking. :|

Spy anything you like? Makes you want to fly huh?

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencils 15th Anniversary Collection

If you dont already know, Urban Decay has the creamiest, smooth gliding, long wearing eye pencils out there. These pencil liners don't tug at the lids, helping you make a solid, straight and pigmented line in one easy swipe. Some gals love their MUFE Aqua Eyes, but I let go of mine right after I tried the creamy goodness of UD 24/7's. ;)

This is a great set to have especially if you're just starting to grow your eye liner collection. It retails for USD92 which sounds insane but is actually a great deal considering a pencil costs USD18 each if bought separately. You get 9 permanent shades and 6 new and exclusive colors. Unfortunately, it is not available locally. A shout out to the lovely Kat for helping me get this LE set! <3

it's so nice to look at!

can you spot the difference between the regular and the LE eye pencils?

the pencil from the LE set has a different font for the logo and a "UD15" printed right before the pencil shade, it also has a glossy cap and end while the regular one has a matte finish.

swatches:

(L-R) Stray Dog, Corrupt, Bourbon, Baked, Midnight Cowboy, Stash, Mildew, Perversion, Electric, Binge, Ransom, Asphyxia, Rockstar, Zero, Uzi

Bourbon is my everyday favorite for the soft but defined look it gives, Mildew is really nice for brown eyed gals, Midnight Cowboy is ideal for the lower waterline and I like to use Zero when going out at night. So far those are the only ones I've used. The FUN and vibrant colors are teasing me already. :)

I put the pencils to a test and tried taking them off using a cotton pad with alcohol but as you can see most of them stay put. Ironically, the "blackest black" Perversion is gone in a swipe.

(L-R) Stray Dog, Corrupt, Bourbon, Baked, Midnight Cowboy, Stash, Mildew, Perversion, Electric, Binge, Ransom, Asphyxia, Rockstar, Zero, Uzi

Now let's talk about "Grind House", an awesome sharpener which also comes with the set. Ohmygosh. I never thought I would rave about a sharpener in my life but, this one just rocks!

It doesn't waste product and it leaves the edge of the pencil smooth so it doesn't poke your eye when the eyeliner color runs out. (I hope you get what I mean!)

I highly recommend Urban Decay 24/7 eye pencils, just try one if you don't want to splurge on the whole set. Get the "Grind House" sharpener while you're at it! I'm sure you'll love it too!

Thanks for reading!
