Heartbreaking!

February 24th, 2010

Phew! I’m back in my own rabbit hole. Sweeeet..

Yeah i know i should be spilling the updates on Chinese New Year, but i can’t deliver them right now. So we’re gonna have to settle with some random stuff first.

UNPACKING!

I seriously don’t know how am i gonna get my stuff sorted. I was at Bangkok with my family for Chinese New Year and then Singapore after for a personal trip, so i have two luggage bags to unpack.

I started off with the easiest - toiletries and make up from the lighter bag which i used for my Singapore trip.

I emptied my make up bag and found that the inside was trashed with powder. So was some of my cosmetics. What the hell happened in there?! I was clueless so i just cleaned them up. What really happened will be revealed later below.

Anyway, continue. I really don’t like the rough baggage handling at the airports. Next time i’m gonna bring a hard-cover luggage to check in.

I checked in my Le Sportsac bag for my flight back to KL from Singapore and i kinda regret it cause there were some er.. accidents.

One of my eye shadows in my palette broke and dirtied the insides of my bag and my favourite white basic tops. I was so upset when i found out. I had to turn my whole bag inside out to wash the insides.

And it had to be one of my favourite eye shwdows too! -_-

Satin Taupe. It’s gorgeous for smokey brown eyes. I swear i hardly use the word gorgeous, but for this case it is necessary cause it’s really gooooorgeous.

The empty slot on the further left of the picture was broken during my previous trip, but there were no “casualties” then. GRR!

Not only that, some of my powders got hit too. The plastic covers came out but i was able to but them back together. However, this i cannot undo.

My favourite powder - Sculpt and Shape. I use it for contouring and it’s a MUST HAVE when i’m putting on full make up.

It’s limited edition and i hunted for it high and low a couple of years ago. I only came to know this product when the collection was nearing its end, like when it was all sold out. I called all the M.A.C branches even all the way to Johor, and lucky me managed to get a hold of the last one in Malaysia.

Yeah super effort that’s why this is my baby in my make up bunch. I’m not sure whether can i find an alternative that’s why it’s like so scarce. A chunk of it missing means it’s gonna run out faster! :(

Now here comes the big bummer..

My limited edition beauty powder from the Barbie Loves M.A.C collection :(

The one that instantly brightens up my face and gives it that pretty glow. And it looks really pretty in pictures. I’m so bummed that the whole thing got crushed into pieces. Sigh..

Anyway i’ve decided to pay a trip to the store soon to get some of the good stuff. It’s been a while plus i gotta restock.

More to come :)

    Aww, i felt for you!
    i got the same (almost) experience when i checked in my luggages for Taiwan trip & found out some of my accessories broke into pcs due to rough airport handling… =(
    As for makeup items it is indeed heartbreaking esp your fave / “holy grail” items - like how i dropped my GA compact in one careless accident (ended up similarly like ur MAC Barbie) …Left wit no choice, I then smashed all bits into loose powder hehe.
    And i read somewhr dat it is wiser not to pack ur expensive / fave makeup items along for overseas trip to avoid accidents like such…Maybe we can opt to buy less costly makeup items dats “holiday friendly”? Coz holiday should be worries free & enjoy the time to fullest rite?

    Anyway on a bright side - YAY to makeup shopping & share wit us ur new hauls allritey! =)

    OMFG

    I feel so fucking bad for you. I would literally cry if that happened to my makeup collection. I was in a panic frenzy when I thought I had lost my Fafi and Hello Kitty MAC lipsticks.

    Maybe in the future you can wrap your makeup box and palettes with your clothes, that’s what I usually do for mine and my coastal scents 88 palette.

    So sorry that, that happened to you. Complain to the airlines!
