Mieza Everdeen

Assalamualaikum and hello! I have been tagged by sis Nabilah to do this Drugstore Diva tag for quite some time. Since I'm feeling a bit cloudy and under the weather, I guess this will make me feel better ^_^ Yeah, whenever I feel unhappy, I'll take some time to play with my gazillion makeup items and after a few moments, I'll feel happy and contented with life, for a while. Hahahaha! Since the name of this tag is Drugstore Diva, please don't expect only 1 favourite item per category okay? Diva mode is on and expect lots of products to match the Diva-ish attitude XD oh, I will explain a bit on why I love the following products and if there is anything I don't like, I will highlight it as well for your reading pleasure. Nothing is perfect, right? Okay without further ado, lets see what the Drugstore Diva loves!

Foundation 

Concealer

1. Collection Lasting Perfection (Ultimate Wear Concealer) : This a HG product by many Western beauty addicts. I am really grateful that Collection finally landed in Malaysia [here's where they are]. I got a light shade as the only medium shade was out of stock at Watsons OU when I bought it. It covers my dark circles well in just one layer but for blemishes, I seem to need more. I'll do a separate review when I got my hands on the medium shade.

2. The Body Shop Tea Tree Concealer : first of all, is Body Shop considered a drugstore? I really don't know, so please forgive me XD this tea tree concealer comes in a stick form. It is quite thick and appears very whitish on my tanned skin, which can be a drawback at times of makeup crime. I used it on my pimples before foundation/BB cream and it works so well in helping me cover my acne marks, love it! 

3. Garnier BB Cream Eye Roll : This is another favourite to conceal dark circles of mine. It is quite a straightforward product, pat it on and blend. The only problem is that the product is all over the roller and the cap till mom asked "why did you spill your makeup?". No, it happened, I didn't spill it :p

Powder

1. Clear Last feat Peach John powder in Shirohada Ocher : This is a product by my favourite Japanese brand BCL, and with a collaboration with a Japanese apparel brand that specializes in lingerie, Peach John. The powder is compact, superfine and it gave me a lovely finish. It is heavily peach scented, which is very sweet and I super love it. It comes with a fluffy sponge as well. The drawback? Pat on too much and I'll look like a geisha XD they only have 2 shades, and quite expensive which is RM60+ at Watsons. 

2. Silky White Magic Face Powder : I WISH THEY WILL NEVER DISCONTINUE THIS PRODUCT. I absolutely love this white powder for my face, whenever I don't feel like slapping makeup on my face but I have to go out. Buy it, it is super cheap, and you'll know why I love it. 

3. Silky White BB 2-Way Powder Foundation : Simple yet sleek packaging, very affordable, good coverage and keeps my face matte. Nothing to hate and I always bring it in my bag most of the time ;)
4. Avon Simply Pretty Shine No More Loose Shaker Powder : This is another saviour of the skin when I need to go out and get ready real quick! To avoid looking like a zombie, I use only this on my face. It has light coverage and I don't really know about its shades since dad bought this for us. I saw it on the dressing table and I happily use it, hehe!

Blush

1. Blush Hour blusher from Silkygirl : I am not a blusher girl and I don't always remember to wear blusher =_='' This is my first blusher and the shade here is Honeywood. I don't know why but I am forever inclined towards blushers with a woody-peach tone. I never liked pink blushers. 

2. Sleek Blush by 3 (shade Sugar) : I just bought this Sleek blusher from Luxola, and I love how pigmented it is! It comes in a variety of shades from cool to warm tones, so if you wanna find a trio that is absolutely will worth every penny, buy Blush By 3 and you won't regret it.

Eyeshadow

2. BCL Makemania Data Gradation Tip Eyeshadow Pen : I never left the house without these in my bag, never! They are pigmented, easy to wear and so lovely on my skin. Drawback? Only 2 shades available.

3. Ronasutra Mineral Eye Colour : Ahh, another favourite but I'm not sure if Ronasutra is a drugstore brand or not since it is only sold at its counters, but the price is drugstore level so yeah, I don't care. They are superfine, heavily pigmented and very soft. There is no sifter for each trays as you can see, they are sold in a stack of 3. Very messy though, when I open each of them, my fingers are full with the pigments. Y U NO HAVE SIFTER!

Mascara

1. Yadah Highlash Mascara : No clumps, waterproof, easy to remove, defined lashes. Nothing to hate.

2. Maybelline Rocket Volum Mascara : Does this even need an introduction? Who doesn't love this anyway? No one I think. 

3. Silkygirl Lash Prism Mascara : My first mascara (but not this tube lah, this is new). It comes in black, purple, blue and brown. I have finished the black one, and then I experimented with this blue mascara. It coats my lashes well, gives me the lengthened and volumnized lashes that I always dreamed, and my friends said I look like an exquisite alien with blue lashes.  I feel pretty, do you feel pretty as well? hehe! 

Eyeliner

1. Miss Hana Waterproof Gel Eyeliner [full review here] : At first it doesn't work well on me, but now I love it so much! It adheres well on my lids throughout the day, and the black colour is super pigmented. Drawback is that it failed miserably on my waterlines, and the gel pencil gets messy when it got scraped with the plastic cap.

2. Silkygirl Funky Eyelights Pencil : These colourful liners have been on the shelves for ages and I turn to them whenever I feel like going colourful on my lids sans eye shadows. 

3. BCL Makemania Data Gel Eyeliner Pencil [full review here] : It is an automatic pencil liner, thank God coz I hate sharpening eyeliners. This is my HG waterline eyeliner, I swear I won't let myself run out of stock with this. Just by looking at it I can feel happy already XD it stays on my waterline no matter what weather I braved through. It doesn't budge.

4. Silkygirl Double Intense Gel Eyeliner : My first gel eyeliner in a pot and I don't feel like changing to a different brand XD it is affordable, 100% heavily pigmented, and it stays on my lids till I remove it. However, wearing it without a primer or without setting it with powder tend to result me in a panda-looking eyes. Super-oily eyelids might want to take extra precaution. Blinking too fast upon application too is not advisable.

Lipstick

1. Collection Cream Puff Moisturizing Lip Cream [full review here] : The shade I'm loving here is Cotton Candy. I just wish they have more shades. It is gorgeous, doesn't dry my lips, and it stays well throughout the day.

2. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain [full review here] : The shades here are Adore (red) and Rendezvous (orange).I always have them with me in my bag. The reason I love them the most is because of how awesomely tinted my lips became with these on. A must have!

3. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter : The shades I have here are Macaroon and Cherry Tart. I love how pigmented yet moisturizing they are. Also another must have, Revlon is definitely the boss of excellent lip products!

4. Maybelline Lip Polish : The shade Glam 7 gives me the most natural look, I never owned such shade and I am happy to bring this in my bag most of the time. It is moisturizing but I feel a slight discomfort when the cream sits on my lips during the first several minutes.

Lip Balm

Assalamualaikum and Hello! Since 2014 started, I have had a lil bit of infatuation towards face masks. Not the one that you wear during haze or surgical masks mind you :p I have won and bought and redeemed quite a lot of masks, but I only have one face to put on all these things so yeah, the rate of finishing them is no faster than a snail's pace. Today I'd like to share with you all about one mask that I have been loving so much all these while, which is Glow and Shine Skin Smoothening Mask from b.liv by Cellnique.
This mask came in a 50ml tube. Nothing fancy about the packaging and dispenser, it has a clean, minimalism and professional look to it. The mask has something like a thick cream consistency. It is also heavily packed with tiny granules thus giving Glow and Shine Skin Smoothening Mask a scrub property as well. As for the smell, I found it rather divine and pleasing to my nose. It has a sweet, fruity scent that is not too much or sickly sweet. It is just nice for me, which is a huge factor of why I have been reaching for this mask every week.
"This exfoliating mask scrubs away flaws and imperfections, and brings out a noticeable smoothness and glow to your complexion.

Glow and Shine deeply exfoliates damaged, scarred or unhealthy skin, to reveal the smooth, flawless complexion lurking within. It also lightens and brightens the dull and uneven-toned face, to make one's inner glow and shine rise to the surface."

According to its instruction, Glow and Shine Skin Smoothening Mask is to be used once a week. I usually use this as a treatment during "me time" before sleep. I will slather a thick layer of Glow and Shine over my face and neck after cleansing my face. We are required to leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes, and avoid from masking your eyes and lips area as the skin there is rather delicate. Upon application, there is a cool, minty feel on my skin that lasts till the mask is partially dry. Sometimes I went overboard, watching a movie or reading a book or simply fell asleep while waiting for the advised time, but fret not as the mask is not easy to dry unless you have a fan directly spinning in front of you. When cleansing it off, I wet my face with water and start massaging the mask away while enjoying the scrubbing feel thanks to its little granules.
I found that this mask gave me an instant brightening effect. It also really gave me a smooth feeling on my skin upon cleansing. It does not dry to a hard mask on my face either, so smiling and talking while having this on is not a big problem. As I have been using it every week for 2 months, I can say that it does not help minimize my pores but it helps me get an even skin tone. I love how it helps me in exfoliating my skin weekly as I don't have a proper face scrub at the moment (I used up my oat scrub already). It does not sting my skin when applied on blemishes (pimples) and I can see that sometimes, it reduces the redness of my pimples but it does not help in shrinking its size or making pimples disappear, never mind coz Glow and Shine does not claim to help with blemishes. It does not sting my skin, I don't get any adverse reaction on my skin, so I am fairly happy and in love with this mask. I see it as a satisfying pamper treatment to my skin. Nothing over the top, but nothing to hate either. So, if you happen to run out of face masks, and you would love to try something from b.liv by Cellnique, I suggest you try this Glow and Shine Skin Smoothening Mask. Till then!

Assalamualaikum and hello! To all my Malaysian readers, I hope you are aware that FINALLY the awesome cosmetic brand, Bourjois Paris, is coming to Malaysia and will be launched on June 1st, 2014. YEAYYYY! From Bourjois Malaysia facebook page, I learned that they're launching a kiosk this weekend at Sunway Pyramid, Lower Ground 1. I'm so gonna come, I don't care even I have to travel from Melaka that Sunday morning. My hunger and thirst for Bourjois products has long been suppressed due to its unavailability on our shores.

Anyhoos, straight to the point now. I'm gonna review Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation which I bought last year. I got myself the shade 85 Miel Subtil. It is a chocolate colour tone with yellow undertone, suitable for my tanned skin. As a person with oily skin, this babe is definitely my best saviour, hands down! I wasn't planning on bagging this, I only had the Healthy Mix Foundation on my mind but when I saw that there is a mineral mousse foundation, I told myself "why not?". So I bought it, without having the slightest knowledge about how well it performs, luckily it works extremely well ^_^ As you can see in the image below, it comes with a brush called "perfecting brush". However, I didn't get the brush as mine was sold individually and not in a box with a brush like our friends in the UK has access to. Nevermind, I use my fingers instead, hehe!

The jar size is no bigger than my palms but the 18ml quantity you get inside it definitely can last you quite some time. Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation claims to be a pampering mousse with mineral powders. It says that there will be no mask effect when you use it, I love this as everybody knows that wearing makeup and ending up looking like you have a different tone mask is a makeup sin XD This Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation claims to melt perfectly onto skin, allows skin to breathe, and  maintains essential hydration. It is also dermatologically tested and comes with a non pore blocking formula. The only drawback to a mousse product like this is that, it is sold in jars, and users will have to dip their finger to scoop out the product which could be unhygienic. But well, you can always use a brush if you don't like the latter. 

The consistency of this Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation is like a light mousse. It spreads evenly and blends effortlessly well on my skin. It does not feel heavy at all and I sometimes forgot that I have makeup on my skin, seriously no kidding ;) I use my fingers to apply and blend the mousse all over my face and I never used any brush with it. For me, a little goes a long way. It heavily stains my fingers so it becomes like an indicator to me, telling that I have scooped out enough product or I have went too much with it. Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation has a matte powdery finish on my skin. I never need to set it with any finishing powder, not even loose or translucent powder as there is definitely no need of it at all. Oh, to make application easier especially if you have dry skin, when using any mousse makeup, make sure you prep your skin with moisturizer first so that blending will not be a problem. Even if you have oily skin, always moisturize first!

Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation stays well on my skin regardless how long I had it on. Since Malaysia's tropical climate is a factor that melts makeup, makes skin went sweaty and oily, I'm proud to say that Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation helped me a lot in combating oily face with makeup on. My face does not get oily even after 5 hours in air-conditioned surrounding. When I'm under the sun, only my nose will get a bit oily and some tiny dots of perspiration and that is after 3 hours of being in the car, walking under the sun, getting into some buildings with and without aircond. For your information, I have oily combination skin. My T-zone is oily and the other parts are sometimes normal, sometimes dry. How "convenient" for me right =_='' However, this foundation has a light to medium coverage so it does not really help in covering acne scars. I usually pat some Tea Tree Concealer that I got from The Body Shop on the blemishes before I start with the foundation. So, how do I wear this foundation? here's the sequence :

1. I always start with a cleansed skin.

2. Next I will apply some moisturizer, and then followed by sunscreen.
3. I have some acne scars, so I pat on some concealer to cover them.

4. Then I smooth Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation all over my face and blend.

5. Continue with eye and lip makeup. Done.

I am definitely very happy with Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse Foundation. I regret buying just one jar of this foundation, I should have brought 2 or 3 jars. I cannot find it anymore on Bourjois website, I suspect it has been discontinued :'( Well, I guess that's all for now, and I'm gonna review Bourjois Heathy Mix Foundation and also Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation next. Just drop me a comment if you have anything to ask about this foundation ya ^_^

Assalamualaikum and hello! This will be the post that might clear some people's mind about getting a makeup setting spray ;) As I mentioned in my previous Sephora haul [link here] I have bought a travel size of Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray. I actually wanted the All Nighter setting spray but it was out of stock and so, the SA suggested me to try De-Slick. I bought it. As a person with oily skin, it has been quite a quest to find something that can really live up to its promise of helping me to get shine-free face. Be it moisturizers, foundation, or setting spray. Before getting this De-Slick makeup setting spray, I relied heavily on Avene Thermal Spring Water and it works just fine in setting my makeup, but no oil control properties. Well let's get to know Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray better shall we?

The one I got was a travel sized item. It contains 30ml of products and the packaging was said to be new [refer to Fiona's post]. The bottle surface is matte, I just love the surface I don't know why but the bad thing I discovered about it is that, it collects prints. I always have my fingers dirtied by the eyeshadows whenever I wear makeup and when I took hold of this spray, the white bottle will instantly have blotches of colours here and there, so I always had to clean it later. 

This travel sized bottle of Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray is very slim and small, so you definitely won't have trouble to throw it in your handbag. It can even fit in your pocket (for people who can't live without it) if you're not wearing something so damn tight like sarung nangka :p Another thoughtful innovation by Urban Decay on this product is to provide it with double caps. The outer cap is the big one in grey colour. When you take it off, there is another smaller transparent cap protecting the spray nozzle. So, if you lose one cap you'll still have another one. The transparent cap is quite tight to remove as there are circular rings on the cap and the bottle to ensure it does not get off easily. Having two caps can prevent the product from leaking inside the jumbled mess of one's bag I suppose ;)

Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray claims to be oil-free, paraben-free and equipped with temperature control technology. On the box, it is written that De-Slick is a type of weightless mist to control oil, deflect surface shine and keep skin looking beautifully matte. It contains high-tech ingredients to ensure your foundation, shadow and blush stays flawlessly put till you remove it. No smudging, sliding or fading they say, no need to touch up. Ohh, can we trust it to successfully deliver all its promises?

I have tried this De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray for quite some time already and I have a number of results. Firstly, please bear in mind that I only used it after I finished doing full makeup on my face. I sprayed the mist entirely on my face with a zigzag motion. I did not follow what's written on the bottle as I think it will be too much for my small face. The product came with an instruction to spray it on your face in a "T" and "X" formation. The mist was fine but a lot came out in one spray. My bottle is not able to produce long sprays like Avene Thermal Spring Water, instead each sprays came out short and heavy. You cannot expect the mist to come out forever like Avene's as long as you press the nozzle.

So the result of using De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray for me is, my face still gets oily after 2 hours. Yes, it does not help at all in curbing shine. However, the good thing is, my makeup stays put even though after blotting, it always look as good as new. No smudging, no creasing, no melting. It does not matter whether I use it during the day under the sun or at night and indoors, I get the normal rate of oily face after 2 or 2.5 hours. Maybe our tropical weather is something that this De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray cannot withstand? I don't know. However, I found a video review [ this video ] where this lady told that we should find various ways to test this De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray until it works as promised, to keep shine at bay. I will try spraying De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray after primer, continue my makeup, and spray it again later and I will update if there is a change. Thank you for reading, and leave me your thoughts about makeup setting sprays!

Have you tried Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray? What is your favourite makeup setting spray?

pic from The Butterfly Project Malaysia fb page

Assalamualaikum and hello! Did you see the banner?? The Butterfly Project is looking for 30 Butterflies to join them in an event with Kiehl's ^_^ OMG when I saw this announcement being made on The Butterfly Project's facebook, I literally squealed in delight as I have never been in any events with Kiehl's and the only product I ever owned from them was the Ultra Light UV Daily Defense sun cream that I won from Sabrina Tajudin's giveaway [link here] and the product was awesomeness I'm telling you. So, now that we're talking about a product for oily skin, NOTHING CAN STOP ME, NOTHING. So, here is why I'm begging The Butterfly Project to choose me as one of the lucky 30 to join this Fun In The Sun event with Kiehl's ;)

I have terribly oily skin. I tried to drink plain water as much as I can but my skin still cannot get rid of its actively-producing-oil-no-matter-what habit, and that makes me sad. It ruins my makeup, it ruins my picture with those extraordinary shine and it made me spend on oil blotting films since forever. Besides, I have tried moisturizers that claimed to be "controlling oil" and also "get shine free face" written on it but the only 2 results I got were overdrying till my skin flakes or even oilier skin like I just dipped my face into a pail of cooking oil. I iz sad.

I'm close to graduating and starting to work soon, and I really hope that with Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream, my oily skin problem will be curbed excellently. I believe that with its non-sticky formula, my skin will get the 24 hours oil free benefit. I was informed that Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream is equipped with the Ultra Facial Oil-Free range star ingredients like Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract and Antarcticine, thus helping skin to retain moisture all day long. I found this exciting as I have never found any oil control gel creams that can really work without drying some parts of my skin. I definitely cannot wait to get a velvety-soft skin that looks shine-free. Plus, being fragrance-free and residue free, I believe that Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream will not irritate my skin or ruin my makeup ;)

The first thing I have been loving about Kiehl's up till this very moment is their image. I have been to Kiehl's store in Empire Subang and walked past the one One Utama, I must say that their store enticed me. With the unique presentation of products and store design, I am always tempted to take a look inside their store. The staffs wore something like a lab coat and that is another WOW factor, hehe! 

Next, I am definitely loving the fact that Kiehl's practice giving samples to customers to try their suggested products first before buying. This is a rare thing to happen in Malaysia as usually samples are only given upon purchase worth hundreds of Ringgits at other beauty counters. I love that Kiehl's wants us to try the samples first to see whether it works or not on our skin, then we can proceed to buy with full confidence. 

Last but not least, I love the fact that Kiehl's has been providing us with excellent products since 1851 and they're standing strong till today. Well, this shows that Kiehl's is a brand that you cannot turn a blind eye on it and no one, especially me, should miss to be part of their users ^_^

Oooh Butterfly Project, please choose me! I wanna have fun in the sun with Kiehl's and my lovely Butterflies, and I want to know what is cactus terrarium as well, never heard of it!

Wish me luck okay? Thanks for reading ^_^

Assalamualaikum and hello ^_^ I hope you all have been to The Body Shop to grab your favourite products from them. I did, and as I explained in my previous post, I couldn't get something that I wanted at the store I visited. So, I went back home and did another small haul from their online site :) Since this is a sale season, they mentioned on the website that delivery might take longer than normal non-sale season purchase. In my mind, I was prepared to wait for at least 7 days before I receive my parcel. However, The Body Shop kinda surprised me as they only took 5 days to process and deliver my purchase. My order was recorded on May 16th, 11pm and I received it today May 21st. Quite fast for sale items, I'm happy! Now let's see what I bought shall we? Don't question why I only bought small items. I am a miniature addict fyi, and I love collecting mini items from The Body Shop :p

1. Camomile Gentle Eye Makeup Remover (mini 60ml) | RM 6.45

I randomly bought these because I am not normally a person who is very specific with her makeup removers. I prefer wipes or makeup removers that does it all for the entire face. However, since it is on sale and I've heard many good reviews about the Chamomile makeup remover range, I feel like I wanna try this one (I am itching to get their Camomile Cleansing Butter after reading a review by Paris B.).

2. Peppermint Cooling Foot Lotion (mini 60ml) | RM 3.85

I have a complete intolerance level towards dry skin. If I feel that my hands or feet are dry, I will become restless and I can't do anything (can't even sleep) until I get some lotion and slather then all over the dry parts. I have bought a pot of foot scrub from the same range and now I guess is the time to try its lotion. Mini means I can bring it in my bag easily, hehe!

3. Cranberry Joy Lip Balm (full size) | RM 14.95

4. Ginger Sparkle Lip Balm (full size) | RM 14.95

I took both of these cuties because I am a lip balm sucker and all my existing lip balms are in the traditional tube type or in the pot. I never owned anything like this, dome-shaped lip balm yet so when I saw this sold online, I quickly grabbed it. I think my little sister will have fun trying to get one of these from me as she always love to ponder over my makeup stuff and ask if she can try anything XD when she was even younger, she was the one who damaged my makeup =_='' broke my lipstick, broke mom's lipstick, broke my newly bought eyeliner (i went home, put it on my dressing table, went for bath, and came back to see it already broken wtf), and ruin the powder cakes or foundations. Hahahaha younger sisters can be quite troublesome when they were very little XD 

My thoughts on the packaging of parcel 

As you can see, none of the items are bubble wrapped. Thank God none of it spilled or break. I don't mind at all since I received my items in a perfect condition, and the box too did not have any dents on it, hehe! I'm grateful that the liquid items (the foot lotion and the makeup remover) are tightly screwed on its lids. Seeing people receiving their orders (not from Body Shop) in a drenched state and broken/torn boxes made me feel pity for them, thus I always prefer if my items were securely wrapped before being boxed and shipped. This box I received, as you can see, is filled to the brim with fillers so I see that as a good shock absorber. Nevertheless, thanks so much The Body Shop and Rampainiaga for the great service. I've been stalking their fb page to see what others has hauled. I saw many reactions from consumers. Many were happy, some were confused on how to order, why the SA said the opposite thing, and some even cursed due to a few problems. I saw how the fb admins replied to each comments and I shall say, I love the way how they responded. Forgive me if this rant is pointless in your point of view, but as an English language and professional communication major, I see matters like this as an important aspect to determine the success of one's business. After all, retaining their customer's interest and loyalty is important :) oh yes, business admin is my minor as well, hehe!

*Why do I need to mention my major and minor? Actually I miss going to class and I am trying to believe that I'll graduate soon and jump into the working world*

Assalamualaikum and hello! I guess the whole world now knows that The Body Shop is having a massive sale. I've seen a number of bloggers updating about it along with the items they bought, I really envy some of them coz there were items I wanted but it wasn't available at the store I went to. But hey, never mind, at least I got something ;) I went to the sale with my mom, she actually didn't have anything on her mind to buy but she then asked me to get a body butter for dad. So, here's what I bought at the store! I took one pair of white bath gloves. It was on 70% discount, so from RM19.90 it was reduced to RM5.95 per pair. Next is a mini (75ml) tube of Strawberry Body Polish. I bought this because I remembered that my previous bottle was given to my youngest sister as she loves strawberry bath items, and she was just a little girl so I won't want to disappoint her, hehe! This was RM19.90 with also 70% off so it was reduced to RM5.95 each. Then there was a mini Shea Body Butter for dad, from RM25 it was reduced for 10% to RM22.50 each, Since I am a member, I received an additional 10% for each items, making the total bill only RM31 ^_^ I went out happily as fast as I can because the outlet was damn crowded. Most of the customers were there to talk, admire the items and caused a massive human congestion inside the small outlet, I can't stand it for long =_='' Not many have a basket on their hands or was holding any items. Sometimes I hope people can be smarter by going to sales with a fixed list of whatever you wanna buy, grab it fast and begone from the site a.s.a.p. But well, apparently not all people can do that. 

Since some of the items I wanted weren't available at the outlet, I did another haul from their website. I actually browsed through the website first and have a list of what I wanna buy before I went to the mall with my mom. Most of the items I wanted was either out of stock at the outlet, or the SA told me that "we don't have that thing anymore". FYI, I am a miniature addict. I love minis more than actual sized products especially from The Body Shop (I think I only buy miniatures from The Body Shop, hahaha). So I hauled their Peppermint Intensive Foot Rescue, Ginger Sparkle Lip Balm, Cranberry Joy Lip Balm, and Camomile Gentle Eye Makeup Remover. I can see that those lip balms will go to my little sister again, never mind, as long as she feels happy, hehe! I have The Body Shop's Peppermint Smoothing Pumice Foot Scrub but I haven't used it, no wonder my feet looks ugly XD i should start using it!Well, that sums up my Body Shop haul for this time. I am still not satisfied because I couldn't get the Soft Facial Sponge, I didn't know that with my member's discount I can their Lightening Touch concealer for RM9.98 (I think I'm gonna go and get it, with mom, again. Miss Makeup Magpie said it is good), and most importantly, I wish their Tea Tree range is on 70% as well but it doesn't happen except for the mini tea tree oil cleanser, which I don't restock. Hahaha The Body Shop, hear me please! Reduce the price of your Tea Tree range!!

Alright, that's all for now I guess? I'm a bit busy working on a few essays and a research paper. My mind is slightly academic for the time being, but I hope it won't suppress the beauty blogger in me to write useful pieces for my beloved readers. Stay tuned, love you guys!

Thanks for reading and please comment on what items you want me to review next ;) Did you go to the sale as well? Leave me your links, I wanna see what you bought! ^_^

Assalamualaikum and hello! I feel slightly empty and bored, maybe due to the fact that I'm sitting at home doing the boring challenging research paper while waiting for degree life to end this July. Yeah, I have spent 3 years living on my own in Shah Alam and Bandar Utama, I'm used to going out on my own, by my own and all the excitement that these big towns has to offer. Now that I'm in this quiet village in Melaka, nothing like KL/Selangor, I can't go out coz my parents will never allow me to go out randomly unless there is something important to be done, and yeah, sitting at home is making me fat unproductive, lazy and aimless. What a sad introduction XD

Anyways, deep down I'm still the positively cheerful beauty blogger as you all met in my previous posts. Now I feel like sharing the images of the items that have been making my life happier in this quaint settlement. These items were either bought or won in giveaways. Whatever I bought here was during sales (except the Collection Cosmetics products) where I got it for 50% or buy 1 free 1 or promotional prices which are close to 1/3 the normal price. So please don't accuse me of lavish spending, I'm just a little girl who loves pretty things :p
First up! This Etude House haul was made during a buy 1 free 1 promo and Sweeties Club promotion. I can't help but buy the Blending Sleeping Cream due to its unique packaging, it costs RM9.90 each and buy 1 free 1. The Hand Bouquet Rich Butter Hand Cream was also buy 1 free 1, costing RM16.90 each, go get them now till 31st May 2014. I am a sucker for hand creams and I must always have 1 tube in each bags I owned. I simply cannot stand living with dry hands, it irritates me. This Hand Bouquet has been serving me well and I really love the smell of it, totally recommended! As for the Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream, I got it for RM39.90 for Sweeties Club promotion (ending 31st May 2014, go get it). I only have tried 1 BB cream from Etude House, which I bought when I was 18. So I guess now is a good time to try another one from them :)
Have you read my post about the arrival of Collection Cosmetics in Malaysia? They flew all the way from UK so I hope you'll spare some time to get to know them better here ^_^ I bought these two babies, the Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer and Cream Puff Moisturizing Lip Cream because I was curious to see how both of them performs as they're raved by many Western bloggers and vloggers. I have reviewed the lip cream here, make sure you read it and then run as fast as you can to the nearest Watsons to get it okay? The concealer? Wait till I get another shade (Medium) and review both as this one is in Light shade.
My Color Tattoo obsession has not ended, yet. These 5 colours are limited edition shades which are not (and never will be) available in Malaysia up till now. I got them from MySale a month ago, thanks to fellow beauty blogger Sis Nabilah Ismailjee for the combined spree, I love you kakak! My phone camera might do injustice to the colours that I bought, so sad that I don't own a DSLR yet. The colours I bought above are Mossy Green, Blue on By, Test My Teal, Rich Mahogany and Seashore Frost. Do you want a swatch review post?

Assalamualaikum and hello! Thanks to HiShop and Fairy Beauty, I was given another set of health drinks called Fairy Blossom to try and review.
