Haul: Smoochiezz

If you are a makeup lover in Singapore, Smoochiezz is probably not new to you. This was the place that sparked off my makeup obsession ever since I came to know about affordable brands such as e.l.f and NYX. Most of the youtube beauty vloggers I watch are from the US and they always talk about drugstore makeup which sadly isn't available in Singapore. Yes, we have drugstore brands like Revlon and Maybelline but the price we are asked to pay is definitely not 'drugstore', e.g. SG$30.90 for colorstay foundation.

All I know about Smoochiezz is that it was started by a girl named Hazel. She used to do online sprees and then expanded to selling products through her website. Early last year, she stopped doing sprees and solely worked on her online shop. My sister first told me about Smoochiezz because she used to buy e.l.f products from her spree. Everything was so cheap (relative to our local drugstores) and they had almost the entire range. It is my favourite place to get hold of e.l.f, NYX and Coastal Scents products, and not to mention cheap O.P.I, China Glaze and Essie polishes.

They do fleas and events all over Singapore but I always prefer to go down to their warehouse just because it's not as crowded. Haha! And prices at their warehouse are slightly cheaper than some events that are run by external vendors. You can always check out their website(which honestly isn't very helpful) or fb page to find out more. Anyway, enough rambling and on to the haul!


First up, M.A.C! Smoochiezz carry alot of their blushes and some shades of the Studio Fix powders. They used to have some eyeshadow singles but since last year, I don't see them selling at their events or warehouse anymore. And don't worry, their M.A.C products are authentic! I don't know how she is able to sell them at such a low price but hey, if I can save on genuine M.A.C, I'm all for it!
M.A.C Mineralized Blush in Band of Roses(SG$29).

Isn't is just so beautiful?!

I normally wouldn't include swatches since this isn't a review but the colours are so pretty I can't help it.

I can never leave Smoochiezz without picking up something from NYX. Heard so much about their Soft Matte Lip Cream and I was going to get one. Changed my mind last minute when I saw that the Xtreme Lip Cream are available. Since I was on such a "roll", I also picked up their waterproof concealer to try out since the weather in Singapore is so hot and humid that my face is sweaty most of the time.

Shades I got: Buttery Nude for the lip cream and Beige for the concealer.

Also took this chance to stock up on my tools. I love the Studio brushes from e.l.f which used to retail for SG$6 but since last year, all the prices for e.l.f products have increased SG$1. Still affordable in my opinion considering international shipping from most websites that sell e.l.f is crazy expensive. I meant to pick up the powder brush and small stipple brush(if they carried it) but the new shipment has not yet arrived so their shelves were kind of empty. Still, I got the small tapered brush which I love for blush as well as the eyeshadow "C" brush. The eyeshadow brush I got seemed different to my old ones. It has longer bristles and hence isn't as stiff. But I actually like that the bristles are longer so I got it anyway. Got a new sharperner too because I don't like to use the same sharperner for my lip and eye pencils.
e.l.f Small Tapered Brush & Eyeshadow "C" Brush(both SG$7), dual pencil sharpener(SG$5) and Coastal Scents BR-C-LC(SG$8).

I've been looking around for a metal comb like this one and I was so happy to see it at Smoochiezz! It's a brow-grooming brush from Coastal Scents. I like using the fine-tooth comb to separate any clumpy lashes after applying mascara.

I've been eyeing the O.P.I minis from their Euro Centrale collection for the longest time. I love every single colour in this mini set which leaves me with no reason not to buy it!

Polish Joke!.

Holographic polishes has been all the rage rage lately. I've seen so many brands come out with their own holographic line. So out of curiosity, I picked up one from China Glaze's Hologlam collection.
China Glaze Holographic in When Stars Collide(SG$10) and 2 free mini Seche Vite.

My total bill came up to SG$109! But considering I got a MAC mineralized bush and an O.P.I minis set, it wasn't that bad.. right? And the lady I was making payment to threw in 2 mini Seche Vite(worth $4.90 each) for FREE! So overall, it was a very pleasant shopping experience at Smoochiezz. I try not to make a trip to their warehouse too often because my wallet probably wouldn't be able to take it. But to all you ladies who are keen to get your hands on makeup brands that aren't available in Singapore at a relatively low price, definitely check Smoochiezz out. Their warehouse is located at Jurong, here's the address...

41 Toh Guan Road East
ADL Building #08-03
Singapore 608605

As I mentioned, you can also look them up on facebook to see their list of events at various locations all over Singapore. Hope you enjoyed my Smoochiezz haul and left me know what goodies you picked up if you recently hauled. Have a great weekend ahead everyone! Thanks for reading.. (:
