I will be honest with you. I never really paid much attention to the vast number of tokidoki’s other products until recently. Sure, I’ve seen tokidoki for LeSportsac and the iconic Cactus Friends on toys and apparel. But it wasn’t till the beginning of 2010 that tokidoki collaborated exclusively with Sephora to launch it’s brand new line of tokidoki cosmetics that I really sat up and paid close attention. Well, that’s what you get for being a beauty blogger.

I first saw tokidoki cosmetics in Sephora when I was in New York. It wasnt till a couple of months back that Sephora Singapore brought it here to our shores. So, when I heard from HereBeGeeks that the very artist behind tokidoki itself, Simone Legno, would be at the Singapore Toys, Games and Comic Convention here on our very tiny island, I decided I HAD to meet he who gave life to tokidoki’s colourful characters.

Collecting my pass from HereBeGeeks for the Singapore Toy, Games and Comic Convention, I swiftly entered the hall and made a beeline for the tokidoki booth hoping I’d catch a glimpse of Simone Legno there. Luck was not on my side (and they didnt sell make up at the booth), so I idled through the aisles of other interesting booths waiting for the official signing of Simone Legno at 4.45pm. Walking through the exhibits, I was counting on the odd chance that I might run into him somewhere in the convention hall. Sadly, it was not meant to be.

It wasnt till much later when I was watching a showcase by the stage that I got a tip off from the team at HereBeGeeks about Simone Legno‘s whereabouts. He had started an unofficial signing at the tokidoki booth and was actually drawing a character on everyone’s item. I immediately dashed to the scene of the crime to get my items autographed.

In typical Singaporean style, a line quickly formed for this unofficial signing yet he accommodated to all the requests. I’m not normally fangirly, but something got to me that day. I got Simone Legno to sign my tokidoki teeshirt first and then queued up a second time to shamelessly ask him to sign the limited edition tin from the SingPost tokidoki x MyStamp collection before asking to take a photo. What did I tell you about him being too nice?

The MyStamp Jigsaw Puzzle set is one of the limited 2,000 sets worldwide but mine’s super special because only mine has a picture of the girl! He’d normally draw one of the Cactus Friends along with his signature but I decided I wanted something different and I got it! Now if you’ll excuse me, I really have to find that tokidoki Perfetto Eyeliner that Arrisa got me from Sephora San Francisco so I can put my tokidoki stash in a secret hiding place.

You should probably already know by now buying make up is probably the only form of daylight robbery I would willingly succumb to, and the tokidoki Robbery Palette is another eyeshadow palette that would make me quickly hand my cash over.

I was awed by the tokidoki collection I came across in Sephora New York. Exclusively available to Sephora, I knew I should have gotten my hands on them tokidoki items when I was there. Sephora Singapore didnt carry any tokidoki make up items only until recently.

The brain child of Italian born designer, Simone Legno, and his partners Pooneh Mohajer and Ivan Arnold, Tokidoki’s signature is its quirky, colourful cartoon characters on the entire line of apparel, handbags, cosmetics and accessories.

The tokidoki Robbery Palette contains:
- Royal Pride Palette: 4 x 0.02 oz Eyeshadows in Lion Pappa, Savana, Ercolini, Bulletto and a 0.16 oz Bronzer in Royal Pride
- Arlecchino Palette: 4 x 0.02 oz Eyeshadows in Soya, Candy Cane, Ninja Dog, Meteo and a 0.16 oz Blush in Momobella
- Rapina Palette: 4 x 0.02 oz Eyeshadows in Liberty, Bullets, LA Gun, Adios and a 0.16 oz Blush in Polpettina
- Collectible Robbery Print tin that can be reused to house tokidoki treasures
- Large (3.5 x 5.5″) removable tokidoki logo magnet

I know I said I shouldnt buy more make up. But with this post, I have the freedom to step into Sephora Singapore when the Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 3 hits the stores. The Urban Decay Book of Shadows are amazing little things. They always come with two eyeliners and a mini bottle of Urban Decay Primer Potion, one of the industry’s best make up primers.

First, it was the Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows and now, inspired by the bright lights of New York City, Urban Decay releases Book of Shadows Volume 3.

This set, inspired by the Big Apple, features a pop-up collage of iconic New York City icons such as the Statue of Liberty and the yellow taxi cab. It even lights up to bring the bright lights of the City that Never Sleeps to you! How cool! This reminds me so much of the time I went to New York City and was estatic to see Sephora New York, my beauty mecca. But there’s no need to travel to Sephora New York to get your hands on this gorgeous Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 3 because it’s already released right here in Sephora Singapore! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to head out and get to Sephora Singapore before it sells out.

It’s been about 2 weeks since I last came back from New York and I think I just almost finished packing all my loot. I’m honestly surprised I didnt buy out the entire Sephora store when I was there, but I did pick up some pretty good buys when I was there. One of them was the limited edition Sephora Best in Bronze Deluxe Sampler worth USD113 that was going for USD39!

This set contains 10 of Sephora’s favorite bronzers and luminizers that “creates believable, sunkissed color, year-round”. Perfect for a setting where it’s summer all the time dont you think? And what could be more perfect than getting a sample of each one of these 10 gems in precious mini bottles?

From left to right:
* 0.39 oz Korres Monoi Oil Bronzing Powder in Sunglow Light
* 0.16 oz SEPHORA COLLECTION Nail Polish in Bright Red
* 0.08 oz Too Faced Pink Leopard Bronzing Powder
* 0.04 oz LORAC Tantalizer Baked Bronzer in Golden Bronze
* 0.17 oz Josie Maran Bronzing Argan Oil
* 0.2 oz Smashbox Artificial Light Illuminating Lotion in Glow
* 0.02 oz Bare Escentuals bareMinerals All Over Face Color in Faux Tan
* 0.09 oz Tarte EmphasEYES Waterproof Clay Shadow Liner in Bronze
* 0.09 oz Benefit High Beam
* 0.08 oz TEMPTU RETOUCH Highlighter in Gold

I probably wont be able to finish using them all this year, but they wont ever run out style here in Singapore! Heehee.

My OTHER loot comes in the form of individual items that I picked up off the shelves. I like to have a little bit of this and a little bit of that. But when I took this picture, I realised most of the items were from Urban Decay.

From left to right:
* NARS Super Orgasm Blush
* Urban Decay Stardust Eyeshadow in Moon Spoon
* Urban Decay Urban Defense Tinted Moisturiser SPF 20
* Benefit Concealer Brush
* Urban Decay Ink for Eyes Cream Eyeliner in Demolition

I just adore the funky packaging from Urban Decay, especially the Ink for Eyes Cream Eyeliner. Definitely cant wait to try it out! In fact, I also cant wait to compare the difference between the NARS Super Orgasm and the NARS Orgasm blush. Anyone tried them both before? Which one do you prefer?
