My Etsy week & Adambeauty haul

I received some Etsy hauls this Tuesday and today and I also got an Adambeauty order today with some staples I needed to stock up for my upcoming Egypt trip and some new Summer goodies from Coffret D'or and Lunasol. I also purchased a Collagen Gel Super Sensitive from Dr. Ci:Labo as it looked like the perfect skin saver for the dry air in Egypt.

Here's a teaser pic of my Adambeauty haul (reviews will follow later):


My Etsy stuff includes this time:

-Houseofjam:
I just have to say that I totally love her stuff! After purchasing the key pouch I browsed her shop more diligently and stumbled across so much pretty stuff I hauled some more (and more things on the way, will mostly post about them next week as they should be arriving by then).
Her items are so pretty and well-made and have that special zakka touch =D She uses mostly Japanese fabrics, but not the loud super kiddy kawaii prints but rather the more muted and subtler floral fabrics that are so pretty and elegant. Some items have a vintage flavor to them I really adore!

I hauled twice.. the first contains:


-a gorgeous linen case which fits my iPhone with the plastic shell *perfectly* (look at the cute small lipsticks, mirrors and necklaces! The print also has some fine glitter on it!). The backside has some lace attached. So sweet!


-a Sunbonnet Sue case for my cam as I figured out it's easier to have a case that fits exactly to protect the cam and make it easier to tuck it into my pocket.


-a Little Red Riding Hood frame pouch (look at the sweet gingham bottom and sheep fabric lining!)


and the 2nd haul (which I got just today even though I just ordered it less than a week ago!):


-Small pencil case (been eying this for some time and finally gave in). The fabrics used are so sweet!!

`
-bell-shaped key pouch made of cute piggy fabric! I needed another key pouch for my keybunch in Egypt =D


-and I also got this cute lavender bag (smells so good! I love lavender!). The little drawstring pouch is fully lined and came with a little blue pillow filled with lavender buds. The fabric she chose is perfect, it even says lavender on one side!


I purchased 2 more items from her store and I am checking daily for new releases! =D

-Meeabee:
I found this sweet tote bag made of the same fabric as my wonderful large box pouch I got from Siamsquare recently. I thought a tote that matches would be a great idea as I want to use the box pouch to keep my skincare and the tote to hold my body/hair care for my trip.
Look how cute she packed it! I highly recommend checking out her store!


-Melmic:
This lady had 4 pouches for US$10 and US$2.50 flat rate shipping so I got 4 cute little pouches for the kids. While these are not as perfectly made as e.g. the ones from simbiosisbyjulia they're definitely a great deal and the fabrics/linings used are really sweet.


-Pinkracoon:
This girl from Germany (whose name is the same as mine lol) is selling few but very sweet items. I got this wallet for my daughter and it's really sweet. There are 3 huge card slots you can stuff with lots of stuff. There is also a long pocket for bills and a little zippered compartment for coins. I also think the little hand stitched house & tree are so sweet!



I also got 3 cute memo pads from seller kitknittystore on eBay (also kitknitty on Etsy). Love all 3! I especially dig those San-X Neko No Panya sheets as they're printed on both sides (one is a colorful pic, the back is for writing). There is also a sheet with stickers. Very sweet!

Oh, if you order from any of these sellers please mention that you found them through my blog =) That'd be very sweet, thanks!

Summer 2009: Integrate Impact Double Liner in #10 Black x Silver

I am so behind with my reviews! After studying heavily for exams I am usually some days totally exhausted and burned out and feel just lazy afterwards =P I also have to say that the amount of makeup (and beauty stuff in general) I purchased in the past months is rather little as I just feel that I am so stocked with everything already and previous collections weren't THAT great. Also I have been more interested in hauling from Etsy and stationery stuff (esp. from Gmarket and Etsy hehe).


Anyways, I got some beauty stuff and the Integrate Impact Double Liner was quite a surprisingly great find for the Summer!

I have to admit that in general I am not so fond of most 2 in 1 items as often they're just mediocre... however the liner/cream shadow (or metallic liner) combo from Integrate in color #10 came out really nicely.


You get a sleek rather fat pen with a fine black liquid liner on one side and metallic silver cream with a stiff spongy applicator on the other side. You can tuck this into your pocket or toss it in your purse as it's a very handy little tool!

The brush of the black side is quite fine and flexible and the ink is really deep black. I think this is one of the nicest liquid liners I tried so far as liquid liners tend to be tricky but this liner is just great!


The silver cream (with a 2mm wide hard spongy applicator) is a pretty soft metallic shade with decent pigment. I was worried it might be too much but it looks really soft and pretty! Once this dries it stays in place all day long which is really great! I used this all over my lids and on the inner 1/3 of my lower lids and loved the look! (sorry, no EOTD pic! I forgot to take pics! =X)


The lasting power of both is fantastic, I experienced no smudging, fading, creasing or smearing all day long. I don't know if it's waterproof but the lasting power is great!


This will be a great summer essential for me as I just need to add mascara and my eyes are done!

You can get this on ichibankao for around US$20 which isn't bad for a liner and a liquid shadow/liner. I am not sure when/if Adambeauty will carry this!

This item will definitely be on my list to take to my trip to Egypt!
(I am *trying* to bring as little as possible this time... I am sure I'll still end up with like 15 eye palettes lol)

You can also find this in gold/brown!
