Shiseido Warehouse Sale Haul (May 2013)

Hello everyone! Hope you're doing well and also well rested from the lovely Victoria Day long weekend. =) Here's my haul from the Shiseido warehouse sale as promised. Sadly for my wallet, I did not stay in my planned budget but luckily for my readers, there's more to see in the haul. ;) Seeing as it is a Shiseido warehouse sale, I thought it was only appropriate to start with some Shiseido products. 

Click for more. =)

The Shiseido makeup I purchased (from above) include the Camellia Compact, The Makeup Lifting Foundation, and Perfect Refining Foundation, both in 'O40 Natural Fair Ochre' (all $15 CAD per).

The Camellia Compact is a limited edition blusher/highlighter compact to celebrate Shiseido's 140th anniversary. It also came with a separate brush in its own case. I took two pictures to show you the scary glitter overspray and the beautiful non-glittery powder underneath. =)

You can wear the colours alone or swirl them all together (which I have yet to do because I don't want to ruin the clean white part...).

The next items I got are two skincare items, Shiseido Pureness Blemish Clearing Gel ($12 CAD) and I picked up the highly coveted "blue bottle with the orange cap" (as how everyone described it when asking) Shiseido Gentle Sun Protection Lotion ($28 CAD) for a friend. I think these flew out the box in the first hour - there was only a small box near the entrance.

The next thing I found was probably the most exciting for me as I was actually looking for it... =P Joico Color Endure Violet Shampoo and Conditioner ($6 CAD), plus it came with a free K-Pak Revitaluxe Bio-Advanced Restorative Treatment. I was SO happy. I couldn't even find this anywhere I looked outside the sale so I got two packs. =)

I picked up more hair stuff by Joico - Spiker Water-Resistant Styling Glue ($4 CAD) for bf, Classic K-Pak Style Protective Hair Spray, and a two-pack of K-Pak Style Thermal Design Foam Mousse ($8 CAD) for my mom.

Then I saw this beauty and thought it would be a great mother's day gift - Elie Saab Le Parfum eau de parfum giftset ($60 CAD). Sadly, it was turned down by her... *sighs*

Next items are quite exciting for Nars fanatics out there. =) Yes, there's also Nars at the Shiseido sale. I picked up two duo eyeshadows in 'Grand Palais' ($10 CAD) - one to gift as it was too gorgeous, a single eyeshadow in 'Coconut Grove' ($8 CAD) for my brows, a semi matte lipstick in 'Trans Siberian' ($10 CAD) for my sister, and a nail polish in 'Night Breed' ($5 CAD).

This is the gorgeousness that is 'Grand Palais'. =)

It's even prettier swatched.

Here's 'Coconut Grove' - almost missed out on this if it wasn't for my lovely friend who found it. =)

Next two sets are charity bags that didn't seem too charitable as I was taxed on them...which can only mean they're doing something wrong or not 100% of the proceeds are donated. First bag consisted of eye shadows.

And the second bag consisted of lipsticks. Both were $15 CAD each. The stinkiness about the lipsticks are that they're testers...and not in their original packaging. =( I might need to depot these...

Here are some swatches...

That's all for the haul. Thanks for reading!!!
