Hi Beverly , I stumbled upon your LJ and am amazed with your entries =)

Im in Singapore and am interested to purchase Stila products from the lady you buy them from , but am confused how to or where to view the products she is selling ? I love the paint can !! we don’t get it here in SG =(

Would appreciate it lots for your help, thanks in advance .

Re: Stila

Adrienne actually works at SAKS in New York, and she ships the Stila products to me πŸ™‚ If you go to Makeupalley.com and search for the user “StilaFairy”, you can email her from there and she’ll give you full instructions on how to order, etc.. it’s really easy and she throws in TONS of full-sized freebies!

Re: Stila

Thanks dear =)
I will look out for her .
By the way, I love your car ! My hubbie bought the Honda fit nut your colour is nicer – mian

Re: Stila

I love pink ! Your car looks very sweet the way it is , I think it suits you very well =) Im trying to get my license too in SG , and its plenty expensive here. I just too a few lessons for actual driving and I was a maniac, we have to learn to drive manual gear cars here, no such thing as auto for learners *grumbles* Its a little silly cause we are all gonna get auto cars , ya ? Good luck for yr next driving test!
I found stilafairy on MUA but I didn’t buy from her yet, cause I have a tangs voucher so I went to the stila counter to see what catches my eye. Unfortunately, there are so many items that is unavailable in SG ( like the paint can , and the stila winter palette ) =( I so so so love the paint can , even thou I have no idea what it is =) It just looks so so yummy and sweet in yr pics !

How’s the lip and cheeks you bought , the colors are really lovely. Can we use it on the eyes? I have really sensitive skin so I don’t use blusher actually.

Have you tried the lip glaze ? Is it that fabulous ? I have all the colors for eye glaze but not the lip . I happen to find paying SGD$42 for a lip gloss is a little too extravagant for me. Would it be cheaper to buy from stilafairy in this case? She will have to ship to SG to me and I think shipping is high from the US ?

Thanks for all yr time taken to read – mian

Re: Stila

I love pink too πŸ™‚
In SG, you can get your license for about $3000.. but mine ended up being $4000 cos I had so many more lessons than the required ;( I know I should learn manual *just in case*, but I”m too lazy, haha!

Oooooh lucky you with a Tangs voucher!! The new STila collection is coming out soon so you might want to get the new stuff then?

The lips & cheeks palette can be used as e/s, but it’s creamy so it might crease.. but the blue-colored palette with 6 e/s in it is REALLY good! I like their lipglazes too – very fun flavours and really shiny πŸ™‚ They’re about SG$65 here so it’s much cheaper in SG! But if you buy from the US, it’s about SG$40 so it’s even cheaper… and shipping was US$8 flat rate so you can buy heaps of stuff and it’s still the same price πŸ™‚

Nice!

(Jac) My bf got the Deluxe Assortment for my X’mas pressie (I know, it’s way ahead! *lol*) and I love it too! Only thing is that I find it difficult to get the stuff out from the tiny tin thingies, and sometimes it makes that ‘help!-my-hair’s-standing-up’ kinda squeak! *arg* O well, I still love it though.

Also, how did you order your Stila stuff? I thought there’s no webbie handling international Stila orders? Thanks! =)

Re: Nice!

Haha yeah the tins don’t open/close too well, but they’re still cute. I love the Sweet lip polish and I love all the e/s in it. Have you lighted the candle yet? i’m too scared to cos it’s so small it’ll go after half hour or something πŸ˜›
I ordered the Stila stuff from Adrienne at SAKS fifth avenue! Dyou how much the Deluxe Assortment costs in SG?

Re: Nice!

Oo, yup the Sweet Lip Polish is my fav too! Guava Lipglaze is nice also. Nope, it’s soo tiny! Same here, I think it’ll be gone in a few minutes!
Ahh, I see. From MUA huh? I’ve never ordered from her before, should try next time, the freebies are tempting! It cost SGD$120. Is it more expensive than yours? =)

Re: Nice!

I haven’t tried the Guava.. I have it in the normal form and in the 10-pan mixable duos, so I’m thinking of just swapping it away. I do like how cute and little the tins are though πŸ™‚

Def order from Adrienne, she’s great! I paid about AU$80 for mine so it was a bit cheaper than in SG..

Re: Nice!

Ahh, AU$80?? I must order from her then! I didn’t even get the freebies in S’pore’s Stila – no more stock. Arg, figures…
Ok, ok, email of Adrienne please? I’ll see if I can get her to help me with my next order! Thanks! =)

Re: Nice!

(Jac) Hey, MUA’s Paging System is down, it’s currently disabled or something. Do you have any other way to contact her? Thanks a whole lot! =)

Malpractice

Man, that $40 could’ve been spent on food or gas! You should complain to the medical facility about that doctor if he’s just going to make sloppy assumptions about your condition. If it turns out to be something more serious that leaves scars or whatnot, he could be held liable for negligence…but why allow that to happen? Explain your situation and see if you can get a second opinion without having to pay again.

Re: Malpractice

I know, he was crappy.. Chris was pretty annoyed and wants to write in to the medical place to complain – imagine if he was giving someone some serious treatment or diagnosing something super important?! Makes me suspicious of doctors now.. as in, do they REALLY know what they’re looking at to diagnose it? πŸ™

Oops! Thought I posted a comment but didn’t load up as I didn’t sign in. So I’m trying again. I bought the lips and cheeks palette a few weeks ago and really like it as the case is so pink and beautiful – very nice for me to slip it in my handbag and put colours on the go (which I’m doing more often these days). However, it’s my first time with creamy cheek color so am not used to using my fingers to smear the cheek color on my cheeks (takes longer to do that) but realize that the cheek colour stays on longer that way. Was wondering have you seen Paula Begoun’s book on “Don’t go to the cosmetics counter without me” where she provides reviews of the major cosmetics. She’s got a website too at http://www.cosmeticsCop.com. How are you liking the Deluxe assortment box? Looks really cool and love the colours!

I do like cream blushes more – they last longer on me like you said πŸ™‚ I really like NARS blushes though cos even though they’re powder, they’re so pigmented!

Im a big fan of Paula’s.. have all her books and most of her products πŸ™‚

I totally love the deluxe assortment! Expensive but worth it IMHO because I use everything.

Well, I bought mine from Sephora, so returning it was easy. I’ve never returned to Saks though. First of all I thought they were all CC’s. It turned out that the first 3 (or was it 2?) were lip glosses and the others were for the cheeks. the lip stuff was SO SHEER it was sad, like I like sheer stuff but it was even too sheer for me. Also when it arrived everything was very oily. {?!) The cheek colors just didn’t suit me well. So back it went.

Yeah I heard they were really sheer and many people were disappointed with them πŸ™ You’re so lucky you get to return it after using it though! I guess if I don’t like mine I can swap or sell it.. but now I’m scared to use it just in case I don’t like it *lol*

Gorgeous collection! I’ve placed an order with Adrienne over a month ago and it still hasn’t arrived! I swear it must have been lost in the mail or something but I has already been charged into my credit card πŸ™

When was your card charged? Mine took about 2 weeks to arrive and my card charged… but she charged my card only about 3 wks after I originally ordered.

She charged my card on 5 Nov, the day after I placed the order over the phone. It’s been more than a month now. I’ve contacted her and she’s still checking the order and hasn’t got back to me.

Hrm it’s been awhile.. it shouldn’t take that long πŸ™ Try calling her again and see? She’s really busy all the time so she could’ve accidently forgotten! Hope you get it soon though, and she’s awesome so you’ll probably get heaps of extras πŸ™‚

All I know is that I am on a serious Shiseido kick. My mum sent me some of their latest eyeshadows (creamy, in metallic shades).. and I wear that ALL THE TIME. haha. I used to wear sooo much eye makeup all throughout high school. Nothing’s really changed. πŸ˜€

Heh I’ve never tried Shiseido’s eyeshadows.. but I really like their Pureness cleansing wipes! I’m the exact opposite – I didn’t even KNOW what makeup was in high school, let alone use it.. but since I turned 20, I just went nuts πŸ˜‰
