Bottom seven books was bought at the recent Big Bad Wolf Book sale (www.bigbadwolfbooks.com). Lots and lots of books by writers i never heard of so was quite skeptical. spend quite some time reading their synopsis and first few pages; and also settled for books that have been made into movies. All books at RM8! Upper two books were bought a day earlier in Popular at full price and the sad thing is they were selling Midnight's Children at RM8 too during the book sale!!! AArrggghhhh....anyway prorate then about 110 for 9 books is ok rite? Happy saturday!
In my book list? bought my sister's keeper at DC airport about 2 months ago.(wow, that was a long time ago!) not done yet. Anne Frank & Obama is random random. PG Wodehouse was intro-ed by Phoebe.
Latest purchase? Got this from recent trip to London. works amazing at fixing flyaways and frizz. Good stuff! And of course Illy. half price of what they sell here in Msia. so its actually their version of cheap coffee?! dont care i like. lots of love xoxo.
Haha. what a way to begin a post; with vain paparazzi shot. but the point i'm trying to make here is about my hair!!! long almost reaching my waist. ahhhhh long long hair. that does come with a huge sacrifice - maintaining it long and sleek and shiny and soft etc etc. I don't spend big bucks on my hair - once a year for rebond or smthg otherwise nope. not willing. i'm a cheap-O!
Purchase 1: This week i went on to buy some hair stuff from Cosway - yes, i am an auntie at heart. i really am to four beautiful nieces and nephews but even prior to that; i am still and always will be an auntie at heart. I have no comments on the conditioner; just normal, nothing to shout about. but their leave-on moisturiser...mix feeling. smells amazing, leaves my hair amazing, manageable, soft, but a little on the oily side. its still ok so far...but if only less...oily. they have another product below Hairtec Intensive Serum i've been using last couple of months - its very oily, smells oily, but leaves my hair so so soft and soft. i use this when my hair is really dry. just too bad its oily and err smelly!
There is one hair product that i ABSOLUTELY love and it works MAD! smells great, works so well but with one downfall: i hate the packaging. and it retails at mere RM2.30 (price only available in Servay Miri hehe) to about RM3. i use about a bottle for every one a half week. this is good cheap stuff that reli works! Dove intensive damage therapy. i've tried all the other colours...nothing beats this.
Purchase 2: i have pimples. and scars. and concealers i need. got this, believing in its double duty to heal the pimple, cover the pimple, cover the scar and hopefully heal the scar. thats quad duty. just hope it works!
Purchase 3: i love travel size items. both for travel purpose and trial purpose. more of trial sizes please!!! smells great and so far works great too; doesn't irritate my scalp. i'll get the full size when my current shampoo is done.
i dont know why but i'm in the mood to write about stuffs. hehe. its fun! thanks for putting up. Blessed day!
Loads of ocipala stuff! No Coach; yes i repeat i didnt buy ANY COACH at all or any bags for that matter! kinda sad but i have a particular thinking; i'm not against China or Vietnam or Cambodia or anywhere that usually produces retail stuff...but i'm not that willing towards "purchase in USA; made in China". i know its my mental; but i can't help it. i'm not very against this; i did buy a BCBG jacket which was made in Vietnam while in states...but u get what i mean? if its made in Italy, sold in Italy, purchased in Italy...then different story =)))
anyway when my trip was finalised i immediately started some online shopping cause shipping within the US was definitely cheaper and for some cases free; when purchases are over certain amount. Details according to purchase chronology.
firstly, coastal scents! rave after rave and all i could admire was the ones i see on you tube...i have a set now!
a set of 88 piece (matte eyeshadows) + 78 piece (for my sister) + 2 sets of brush guard: foundation pack and blush pack + foundation concealer brush + silver duo stippling brush
=$61.74 (free shipping for purchases above $50)
Each eye shadow is about the size of 5cents.
So tempted to get the 88 Warm palette & 88 Shimmer but I have a lot of these in quads and all. So getting the 88 matte was really ENOUGH.
Brushes are huge – sturdy and long. Sadly though, the stippling brush shed like mad even before washing. I think…I’m never gonna use it. The foundation brush is really soft, large – covers a huge area of your face. Application wise is a so-so, not too impressed. =(
Got both the blush pack and foundation pack – variety pack was out of stock at point of purchase. I don’t think smaller eye brushes need that much of guarding tho…only the bigger ones more crucial. This too I wasn’t that impressed; expected it to be on the softer side but its quite hard and has sharp, rough edges. I still use them nevertheless; extra gently to keep the brushes in shape after washing.
For comparison sake, this is Coastal Scents stippling brush next to Sigma SS187. Can’t say much; haven’t use either! With prejudice…I’d go for Sigma.
Second, Egyptian Magic Cream. Very dodgy; first time I heard it I was like ??? but due to reviews I knew I just had to try out of curiosity. Very bravely purchased big bottle straight and they gave 2 little samples (I didn’t take pics of the sample!). I HAVE NO REGRETS on EMC!!! Within the first week it lighten up my pimple scars; soften my skin…amazing stuff. It is oily, Vaseline like, but good stuff!
Thirdly, lots and lots of NYX products from www.cherryculture.com! No explanation needed. Very happy with all the lippies including them jumbo lip pencils!
And then right, from this point onwards just see pictures and occasional captions…SIGNS OF A VERY LAZY GIRL WITH SHORT ATTENTION AND FOCUS SPAN…
Stuff from Sonia Kashuk
Sweet nothings indeed and immediately picked it up coz it has eye shadow base.
Reusable packaging!
Infamous Synthetic flat blusher brush – very very dense.
Eco-tools: a must purchase! Its soooo expensive in Msia.
Reusable packaging!
Ehem. Some art work lah.This is an amazing Travel Kabuki Brush. Very very happy.
Absolutely love these swabs. So convenient!
Best cleanser I’ve ever tried. Two thumbs up! No tight feeling; washes off every trace of make-up;good stuff!
Very happy to get this at an amazing price - $9 each + free lip balm but sadly it made my hair dry and irritates my scalp. So sad. Was looking forward to using organic shampoo so much!
Its so cheap!!! Like $1.50!!! How much is it here?!
Normal stuff I couldn’t resist…and yeah we dont have Shocking Pigments on our shores yet!
Seriously; the brush IS professional!
Stuffs we don’t have here, YET.
Bronzer and Blusher
Nice sheen, but oily. Hmmm. Can use as highlighter?
Almost mandatory to stock up on Clinique in states; so much cheaper. I’m not an ‘active’ user but always willing to try. Donno how to rotate the first pic hehe.
That’s all! Not too bad after listing them all down. But I’m sad that I didn’t manage to get hold of any ELF products. I was so sure, I would spend like $100 there. And get 100 stuffs!!! That didn’t happen.
Thanks for putting up; quite a messy post. Have a blessed day!
Remember all the things we wanted Now all our memories they're haunted We were always meant to say goodbye
Even with our fists held high It never would've worked out right We were never meant for do or die
I didn't want us to burn out I didn't come here to hurt you, now I can't stop
I want you to know that it doesn't matter Where we take this road someone's gotta go And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better But I want you to move on so I'm already gone
Looking at you makes it harder But I know that you'll find another That doesn't always make you want to cry
Started with a perfect kiss then we could feel the poison set in Perfect couldn't keep this love alive You know that I love you so, I love you enough to let you go
I'm already gone, already gone You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong I'm already gone, already gone There's no moving on so I'm already gone
