    Wednesday, July 14, 2010

    I went ahead and got myself a good pair of spectacles to replace my old scratched up one from Optical 88.
    But i can't shake the niggling feeling that I could have bought a better pair elsewhere with the budget that I came with. Afterall with their shop at Lot1, they probably had to offset the high rent....When I get them this Friday, hopefully I can justify my purchase.

    GRR.
    I want so much to turn back time. But no one can. And everything happens for a reason.

    In The Groove Buys + Alot of Rambling

    MAC's In the Groove Collection left me wanting so bad and I did some damage to the pocket.
    This was a collective haul, I got these on 2 occasions.

    Ok so, first story: On Friday morning when the collection launched in Singapore, I had to be in school by 11am for PAL Programme which is a CCA-thing for lower primary. And knowing how hyped and sought-after Stereo Rose was, I didn't want to end up disappointed again like the To The Beach collection where I missed out on the Highlight Powder and the Hipness Blush.

    So umm.... I woke up early and went to Tangs Orchard before school. Yes, I admit I was one of those who waited for the store to open so I could rush in like a mad woman and grab that *preciousssss*. But I swear, there were 5 other women waiting around with me and once the doors opened, they started swatching and bought 3 Stereo Roses at one go!

    I ended up with a Stereo Rose MSF, Band of Roses Mineralize Blush and a huge smile on my face at school.




    Group Picture! Top from left to right -> Petticoat MSF, Stereo Rose MSF, Band of Roses Mineralize Blush, Jazzed Lipstick, Club Eyeshadow (not from collection) and Right Image Cremesheen Glass.

    So now you're wondering, I got 2 odd things and the rest just fell out of the sky and landed on my lap? Prrftt. I held out until the pay came in on Saturday and dragged D to JB Aeon Tebrau to haul some more! Why JB? Coz I wanted to get an empty palette to depot some shadows. Oh and coz we wanted to eat Sushi King!!

    Ok I digress, pictures.

    Jazzed: This is my first cremesheen lipstick and I'm beginning to think it's my favourite finish! Lustres are a little opaque on my extremely pigmented lips and Satins tend to dry out. This one left a waxy feeling on my lips and it just made it real smooth and moisturizing. Havn't tried Frosts nor Amplified though.

    Two lovely ladies trying to catch my attention. I love you both, no worries!

    Stereo Rose -> Coral and not shimmery which is awesome coz I hate shimmer in my blush.
    Petticoat -> Frosted pink with raspberry veins, I think I got a good amount of veins in mine so it showed up on my skintone thank god. Not much gold thrown in though, but I like it that way = less shimmer.



    Band of Roses since it's been described as a dupe for Dollymix. I've always wanted Dollymix but never got around to purchasing it.

    And last which is not from the collection but I just picked up anyways was a Satin eyeshadow in Club. A brownish bronze with green reflects.

    Ok story number 2: At Aeon Tebrau, D and I went to the MAC store, me with minimal makeup coz we've been out since early morning to do some errands and it was almost 8pm when we reached JB (MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM AT CAUSEWAY!)

    So I got served by a very nice Chinese lady and she helped with my purchase. I wanted to get 'On the Scene' lipgloss as well as a mineralize eyeshadow trio but that lipgloss was OOS and the eyeshadows were not brought in at JB's MAC.

    Ok so nevermind, two less items mean less money spent! :) I asked for the eyeshadow palette and it was also OOS. D said, nevermind just pick out something else since we're already here and I changed a specific sum of dollars into ringgit to get my MAC fix.
    And so I went to the eyeshadow stand and started swatching neutrals coz you never can have enough neutrals right?

    And this malay guy with funky hair in a ponytail came over and asked which colour I'm looking for in kind of a bossy tone, like he wants to rid of me from the store. When only D and I were the only ones there. I asked for Wood-winked.

    And he went, "Oh we don't have that colour here, it's limited edition kot?" And I was kind of shocked when he said that, since when was Wood-winked LE?
    So I went, "Umm...no, I don't think it's limited edition..."
    And he pressed on, "It must be limited edition. Or else I would have found the colour for you already from the stand."

    Fact is. He wasn't even near the stand when he threw that comment to me. He was at the cashier table.

    And D said my face just changed totally. It's one thing to not know your products, but it's totally another to insult a customer and insinuating that I don't know crap about makeup.
    And that said, they didn't have Patina either. If I asked, he'll probably say it's also LE!

    I was so pissed, I just ignored him and continued searching. And the previous lady whom served me came over and thank god for her, really. She made the effort to recommend me Club instead which she claimed was her favourite brown shadow. And so I got it....it took me another hour after leaving the MAC store and bitching to D before I calmed myself down enough to enjoy my dinner at Sushi King.

    Ok, rant over. Sorry for the lengthy post and I apologise if I sound spoilt or something..

    Anyway, a shout-out to Vonvon from Vonvon's Interests! Thank you for your advise when I left a tag on your message board! And I hope ur MAC store brings in the mineralize eyeshadow trios soon coz I know ur holding out for those! :)

    *Disclaimer for the boyfriend* : I didn't go all crazy this time round, I promise :)

    On 12June along with the stinky Korres Lip Butter, we went to Etude House and got some skincare stuff.
    A blackhead remover scrub and acne spot treatment..others are basically free stuff.

    Stage Ion was having it's 70% moving out sale and of course I dragged Sheela in... I got 2 black eyeliners and two lippies. Midsummer Mauve for me and Berry Boudouir for mummy dearest.

    Two days ago bby and I went to watch Karate Kid and it was ok, not a must-watch but it wouldn't be a waste of money either.

    Acting was so-so, plot was average albiet a little strange... I dunno, some scenes in the movie I was just not feeling it. One or two laughs here and there but not a guffaw in any way. I wasn't blown away but I flinched at the kungfu competition scene when Jaden's leg got hurt.

    I'm still holding out for Toy Story 3, I hope it doesn't disappoint. *toes crossed*

    After accompanying D on an unsuccessful trip to LTA today (closed at 4.30pm! We arrived at 4.32 dang!) we went back to AMK and had a late lunch at Yunus N Family...Hady Mirza's family business I was told, haha.

    On the way home today, I caved in so bad coz I am lemming for the Sasa Cosmetics Pouch that was on sale for $1.95 with a $30 purchase. Haizz.......

    Today was my huge spending day after my claim went through on Saturday....Checked after I signed my Teacher's Agreement with my mummy and uncle as my sureties..Me, Nur Hasinah Binte Mohammad Sidek, will be starting my NIE training on 30th August. Back to studying YAY!

    I already promised my little sister I'll bring her to Bugis Village so we did....D didnt join us coz he's real sick and keeps on coughing...I hope he gets well soon...
    Baby if you're reading this, I'm sending 'curing kisses' your way! :)
    I love you D.

    Ok, so anyway. Of course I spent ALOT. It's Bugis Village, you're supposed to go crazy. And it's a good thing I anticipated the goods and brought a near-empty bag to fit all the plastic bags. Coz I got.....

    1 Flowery Black Long Dress
    1 White Tights
    1 Black "Tapered?' Sweatpants that looks Hip-Hoppish. Eww I sound so wannabe, but it looks good!
    1 Spag Dress in Zebra Prints
    1 Spag Dress with Rainbow Pastel Designs (Can't wait to rock a rainbow eyelook with this!)
    1 Black Skinny Jeans
    1 Black Cardigan
    1 Hot Pink and Purple Scrunched Tube Dress
    OH AND A BROWN JUMPSUIT, for lazy days I'll just throw this on..

    Sweet Heavens....that's ALOT. But it's only coz I've been spending on makeup and food most of the time and it's been awhile since I spent on clothes. And it's so that I have stuff to wear to work.....I'm trying to justify my purchase here alright!

    And coz I'm weak against makeup sales....


    Hehe spot the difference! (There's a MAC purchase laa....)

    Stage is having 40% storewide promotion until 31st May, certain items are also going at $8 a piece like the lipsticks, lipliners and lipglosses. Spend above $80 and get membership (Backstage Pass), a beauty makeover valid within 1 month from date of purchase and a free lippie of your choice from the Wonderluxe Range.

    The BA arranged my purchases so neatly in the plastic bag! I went to the Bugis Branch and Natasha attended to me. She's real nice and patient while recommending products that suit my skintone...Gave me her card so that I can call her for my makeover.


    MAC's eyeshadow in Prepped For Glamour is from the new collection: Pret-A-Papier. I wanted to get Satin Taupe but Robinson's Raffles City's was OOS. BA swatched for me this and it's quite similar so I got this instead..

    So those are the things I got today.....So far I've tested the lipliners only. I LOVE THEM. Especially Chocolate Charm!! That's gonna be a repeat-buy for me when I run out!
    Sultry Sienna is GORGEOUS. I wanna step out of my comfort zone (read: nude lippies) and try bold lips. This is my first step: A red lipliner with slight orange undertones that goes well with my skintone. I can't pull off blood red lips so this is perfect. Layer on my sheer SilkyGirl's Sugar Plum lippie and the results are awesomeeee.


    Close-up of the free lippie I got in Naughty Nude.

    Tell you the truth, I'm feeling a bit mellowed after spending on all the stuff... It's not coz I'm broke after hauling so much. I did my budget and I stuck to it so no issues on money.
    I think D understands how I feel...It's not ideal to go into detail on the blog. I just wish things were different so that I won't feel that guilty twinge after the euphoria of spending on my so-loved makeup.

    Hi everyone! I GOT A CAMERA LIKE FINALLY!!

    Will be claiming it under LDS....awesome, it's like getting this for free coz it was going on sale for $399!
    Samsung PL150. Got it in red but no difference from the other colour coz the only thing that is tinted on this black camera is the crystal on the side that faintly shows u got it in red or blue.

    I LOVE THIS CAMERA!! It's not the harsh kind that captures every large pore, every blemish on my face or the faint female mustache i might have forgottten to shave off. HAHA. I hate cameras like that. BUT! You can go into detail when taking pictures using a different setting.

    Why I love it so?

    1. There is a 'beauty' shoot setting that will smoothen out your complexion in pictures!

    2. FRONT LCD! No more half-faced shots! Will be able to see whether everyone is in frame!

    3. Front LCD can be converted to display the countdown timing when you use a timer! No more cramped smiles and wondering when the pic will be taken!

    4. Camera detects a smile and takes pictures immediately!

    Loves! :) Will be going to the zoo tomorrow with D so will be posting QUALITY pictures taken with this camera! Yay for no more crappy phone pics! 12.4MP btw.

    Ignore lion's mane of a hair and major zit on my chin. That's where I always get my zits prrfft. But lookie! It totally smoothens out complexions, I think I look flawless (except the zit, no hiding that one) no kidding!

    Just came back from dinner with the bf....3 days straight, woohoo! Rare occurance, should take a moment to let it sink it

    .
    .
    .
    .
    .

    Woohooo!! Ok done.

    Saturday, D fetched me after his morning run and we went to swap my Taka vouchers with Tangs vouchers at AMK. Gumtree.sg is awesome, so many responses in such short time. Stopped at AMK Central and D got 2 really nice shirts for $50 at Spade. Went shopping for some baby stuff, will explain that later.

    Went to his house and waited for him to bathe. Something REAL embarrassing happened while I was at his house but I shan't say it. GOD, how cherry tomato-faced I must've been. Must be cherry tomato coz even though it's red, it's still cute mah? HAHA.

    After that we dropped his sisters off at Centrepoint and went over to Tangs to get my hands on some MAC.

    Studio Fix Concealer NC30 - My old one was stolen at JB and there was probably 80% left :(
    Browset in Beguile
    Sped to D's teammate's house at Punggol for a gathering, his friend's twins turned one month and they had an open house. That's what the baby stuff was for!
    How nice to have twins! One girl one boy, I also want! It's like the perfect combination, you can stop right at 2 and get the best of both worlds/both sexes.

    Left at about 730pm and original plan was to crash Downtown East and eat sushi, but it was packed and parking was crazayy. So abandon ship and we went over to East Coast Park.

    Got strawberry milkshake and chili fries and we ate along the way back home...

    Reached home quite early too, at 915pm! Who's a good girl? :D


    Sunday! We went out after D finished work and original plan was to catch a movie at Bukit Batok Eng Wah. But his friend said that BB Eng Wah has cockroaches! And D freaked out and didn't wanna step foot in the cinema. Hehe, I exaggerate.


    Anyway, we ended up at Causeway Point and got some dinner into our system.

    Anyone noticed I like taking food pictures? HAHA.
    And then we went to watch How To Train Your Dragon...didn't have it in 3D :( It would've been awesome! The graphics were already 'in your face', imagine if you watch it in 3D!

    I LOVED THE MOVIE. I even liked it better than Clash of The Titans! On par with Alice in Wonderland. Again, anyone noticed I loveee animation movies?

    I'm visualizing D rolling his eyes right now.

    Animation Movies + Makeup + Food = Story of My Life!

    Tired!
    Just came back from Suntec with who else, my world evolves around him.
    He got six, yep SIX movie vouchers from work, but cinema is only at Eng Wah.
    So we went to catch his movie - Clash Of The Titans 3D
    Only that the voucher is valid for normal movies. But whaddeheck I promised him we'll watch it so we did! Saved the vouchers for another time, since expiry isn't till next year March.

    Movie had an awesome plot! Can't say much about the 3D effects, I much preferred Alice in Wonderland's due to it's striking colour schemes and funky characters so the producers had more fun and leeway in that sense to fully utilise 3D.

    Titans was set in the 'Romans' era, and there were rubble and dirt, intricate but monotonous-coloured architecture and statues and such. Not much feast for the eyes so 3D effect was kinda swallowed.

    But thumbs up for the plot, definitely. And there was that one actress who was cursed with ageless? SHE WAS GORGEOUS!! I had an immediate girl-crush! So porcelain-like and the ruby lips and she just walked with an air of aloofness and humility that it's confusing and totally attractive.

    Ok I shall stop gushing about another woman.

    And then we went to Pizza Hut for dinner, D had a pasta dish and I had baked rice, we had a side of fries. And then it was time to go home :( Such a short date! *cries*

    Oh oh but before all these, I went to IMM alone to get some stuff from Daiso and Watson's coz my sisters were too lazy to accompany me yesterday, and bf worked morning shifts yesterday and today. I took such a long time, I was there from 330-500 and I was alone! but it goes to show I'm not dependant on anyone when I go shopping yes? Instead of meeting D straight at Suntec, he came to IMM to fetch me first coz I was taking my own sweet time and he wouldve had to wait for me anyways.

    I'm such a bad gf. Humph.
    Especially when it's payday and I go crazy shopping.
    I don't think anyone's interested in what I got today HAHA. Bye! Tomorrow's another work day!

    STUFF!!!


    1. Jasmine Body Spray from Body Shop.
    Coz during that Johor incident, I brought mine there and the whole bag got stolen. So I got a new one...I love the smell and D does too.

    2. Random keychain.
    These were going for RM1 each! I got some for my sisters and mom too. Lots of designs to choose from. From the shop at the overhead bridge that links Berjaya to Sungei Wang side.

    3. Felt Rose Ring Box
    D surprised me with rings! And got them in this pretty rose stalk/box! We were looking for couple rings and we came across cute ring boxes at Couple Lab Illuma and I said I wanted one! And he surprised one for me! And it didn't come empty, it came with rings!


    The heart shape is a hole in the ring in between our names and our anniversary date was engraved on the inner side. Sweeettttttt.

    4. Obviously fake Chanel glasses.
    From Petaling Street, D got us a great deal! 3 glasses for RM50...I got my huge ones, got my dad and D got himself one too, Oakley-like ones.
    5. Fake Guess Wallet.
    Meow! How pretty and elaborate-looking is that? The blue was such a striking colour, I just got to have it. D marked it down for me from RM60->RM40->RM25.
    Snakeskin anyone? Fake wan laaa! I love my new wallet, it looks expensive when it really isn't! And material isn't flimsy, it's quite sturdy and I forsee myself using the wallet for times to come.

    6. From Petaling also, I got a fake Loewe bucket bag.
    So pretty! I get compliments on the bag whenever I bring it to work! The badges on the bag makes it look current and the space in the bag is HUGE even though it looks small.

    7. Platform heels
    Got it for RM29.90 at Berjaya Times, D picked it up for me. I told him I want something I can wear to school as well.....Wore this to clubbing that night and I wore it again yesterday when the family went to Tepak Sireh for dinner. Comfortable and strappy, I'm happy with the purchase.
    8. Rimmel's Lipstick in Dreamy
    Can't remember how much this was, RM26.90 I think? Got it at KLCC Watsons on the way back from Aquaria when we spotted Tao Kae Noi Tom Yum seaweed and had to get a pack.
    Thought of getting Airy Fairy again since it got stolen too, but I wanted to give another colour a try. Colour is a frosted pinky mauve. It looks ok on me but I can't help thinking I look old, just coz my mother favours frosty lipsticks and it's a mental thing ya' know?


    Stuff from Elianto includes:
    9. Pecan Blush Pot. Got stolen so got a new one. End of story.
    10. Empty four pan palette for new shadows.
    11. Eyeshadows in...hmmmmm I forgot! I know the puple is Wine Purple. The other two I totally forgot! -.-
    12. Last but not least, my anklet that I got from a Wholesale Silver retailer; Silver Star at Sungei Wang. Got this at RM39 i think.
    So those are the stuff I got on the trip! I was more estatic at the food we ate rather than the stuff we bought HAHA. (Voice-over: SUSHI KING ZOMG)

    KL Trip: Day 3

    Whoa, how long have I procrastinated?
    Day three we skipped breakfast again. Talk about wasteful I mean, how often do you get to eat buffet breakfast?

    We got the krispy kremes out and ate some before leaving the room. We went to KLCC! Took the "overhead" LRT from Imbi station to Dang Wangi, cross over and took the "underground" Kelana Jaya line to KLCC.



    Met a caucasian couple who got lost at Dang Wangi and we told them to follow us since we're going to KLCC too. We're such good people, no?

    Once we reached, we had lunch! Wanted to eat at the food court for once, but bad timing it was exactly lunch time for staff as well so every food joint was crowded. We ended up at Sushi King again and I ate a set meal this time round. D of course got his Piri Piri Chicken -.- in his defense, that set was delicious too. I got a Tempura Udon set. No picture this time lol my phone died on me. Pictures taken with bf's phone.

    After lunch, we went to Aquaria! This was my birthday gift to him plus the fish spa. We got in at a MyKad rate coz I guess we looked Malaysian? Well I don't mind being compared to KL-Malaysians coz most of em' got styleeee. Haha.
    After a visit to the aquarium, we went for the fish spa which is included in the package I took. We got in for RM128 (MyKad rate) for two I think, Aquaria + Aquazone(fish therapy).

    First time for both of us and we spent the first 15 mins just staring at the fish coz we were scared to put our feet in the water. You dip a toe in it, and these fishes just rise up and come towards your toe in a whole school. It was scary, it's a mental thing.

    If you don't know what a fish spa is, you put your feet into a pool of water with fishes in it. A specific breed of fish that feed on dead skin cells and so in actual fact, you are paying to give 'food' to their fishes. Humph. But you end up with clean feet so....win-win situation. HAHA.




    I overcame it by shutting my eyes and just took the plunge. The fish were small so the suctions were not really hurtful, it was just ticklish. The huge-ass ones were the one you gotta be careful of. You can feel their teeny bites and I think some people get off of things like that? D tried the huge ones in a separate pool with a couple of other people but I was too chicken. Feet looked and felt clean after the 'treatment' and then we made our way back to Berjaya Times.

    Took a cab with an agreed RM10 but the roads were quite jammed up and the driver asked for an extra RM2 once we've reached. We didn't have change and the driver had the gall to be pissed off with us and told us to alight NOW. Prfft, we're never going to see him again anyway so yea we alighted and forgot about it. I kinda got into a squabble with D coz I felt we should've gave him a little more but D was right...we didn't have the change so just forget it..

    And it didn't help that he was like a driver from hell! He zoomed at high speed and overtook dangerously, we were so scared for our lives! All because he wanted to get his RM10 worth.

    Cabs from Malaysia will go by the meter but quote you a price a little higher so that they can get a little profit to put into their own sneaky pockets. When we arrived at Berjaya, meter was at RM9.40 and so he demanded an extra RM2 so that he can have a little more profit than just 60cents...capiche?

    Anyway, we went shopping for stuff coz we planned on something that night, I got myself a pair of platform sandals, accessories....and I got makeup just coz haha. D got himself a shirt and shoes.

    After getting what was neccessary, got Wendy's takeaway for dinner, D got their burger which was delicious btw, I got just a simple sour cream and chives baked potato which was meh. Didn't finish it. D watched a vcd that he just bought, Police Academy i believe? While I took a nap coz I knew I won't last the night. Coz......................we're going clubbing!

    I know, I know, I've never clubbed before, I'm not that kind of person and neither is D. He clubbed before, but he doesn't anymore coz he clubs to socialize with his friends, not bcoz he likes the act of it. And I begged him to bring me to a club so I can experience it. It's a I-have-to-experience-it-once-in-a-lifetime kinda thing so that I can officially say I've done it, but I don't like it.



    I wore lash falsies with glitter on them! But prrftt not much difference in the picture.
    Well, it was ok....We went to Beach Club at Jalan P.Ramlee and the music was loud and current, alot of prostitutes around and they're really hungry for meat...public kissing and groping..nothing really special but I'm glad I went. D and I danced a little, but we sat and enjoyed the music most of the time. We didn't drink if you were wondering! I had Orange Juice and D had his Coke.
    We stayed for an hour and a half, and cabbed back to the hotel....I played my nintendo and then we slept AND THAT'S THE END OF DAY THREE!

    Ps: Anyone noticed how much I love the silver hairband I got?

    Im totally psyched!
    Tomorrow will be departure date FINALLY, and I hope I have a really good time there....though where we're going isn't far. Time to de-stress and shop my heart out, so we'll come back fully rejuvenated and I'll be ready to take on the rest of the semester.

    Today I went shopping with my little sister. And it's one of the most rewarding shopping trips EVERRR. Coz I bought stuff that I can't try on at the shop, and hope it fits? And when I came home and tried them on, they looked gorgeoussssss.

    Got 2 off-the-shoulder tops, one in grey and one in black..
    Shorts in a silky brown colour.
    A black spag top that I was sure wouldn't fit me but thankfully it did :)
    My first primer - Urban Decay Primer Potion.
    Wanted to get Too-Faced Shadow Insurance actually, but it was OOS.
    A couple of pretty earrings, 3 for $5...
    And I got the Essence of Beauty Duo Brush Set from Magical Tannsu at $20...Met her at Dhoby Ghaut. Coz I realise I can't travel without my makeup tools :(

    OH OH, and I got 2 zipped pouches, one for me and one for the bf coz we wanna put our money in there when we travel..And I got the prettiest silver elastic headband.
    Can't wait to wear them out!

    Im happy da be dee da be daaaaa~ coz it's the last week before the one week holidaysss.

    Ok, so yesterday what happened? Bf and I went to these places to get equipped for the upcoming trip. Stuff are all courtesy of the bf. Btw, anyone guessed where we're going yet?

    - Mustafa Centre

    Got Optrex ($4.90) coz my eyes seem to get itchy quite frequently nowadays. And its not a gradual thing, its a sudden itch thing. Dunno why...

    Palmolive Thermal Spa Massage Shower Gel ($2.95 i think?) I got rashes from my Lux Shower Cream and so I switched to using just soap. But I want something that exfoliates...so let's try this shall we? Bf has been using this and he says it's good. Hopefully I don't break out in rashes again. And it's blueee! Da be dee da be daaaa ok stop.
    Now that we use the same facial cleanser, next stop is same shower gel. What next? Tsktsk.

    Tiny samples on the right are from De Enchant, a Korean all-natural skincare and cosmetics line at Iluma Bugis. Bf bought their 3-step skincare regime that amounted to about $110 and the kind lady gave him a sachet of toner for oily skin, while she gave me sample bottles of a toner, a moisturizer and a night cream for dry skin. She just looked at our faces and knew what kind of skin we have. She's good.

    She was really patient and thorough. Tried almost every display product on our hands for our opinions. She wasn't pushy, and the skincare line smells awesome! Absolutely no chemicals in their ingredients, and we saw results there and then when she scrubbed dirt from bf's hands.

    - Bugis Junction

    Bf was looking for a travel-sized bath gel, and we scoured Watson's and Guardian but to no avail. Even Mustafa didn't have it, oh the irony. We got the one made of Japanese Blossoms (Sakura). He's taking the shower gel and I'm taking the body lotion plus the bath lily. Awesome smell, so girly and vacation-y. Oh, it's $14.90.

    SASAAAAA! My next favourite place to go after Sephora.
    Anyhoo...since you know my Sigma brushes got stolen, how am I to travel without my tools! And I'm almost always broke right, so I couldn't order a new one in time for the trip..so I made do with what I have and then some.

    Tiny jars ($1.65) came in a pack of two, will use one to put the Oceana pigment sample I got from a colleague who ordered from Alimapure. Spray bottle ($1.05) for my brush cleanser. Cosmetic wedges ($1.90) for liquid foundation - first time I'm using a sponge, the one thing I really miss from my stolen kit is my foundation brush :'(
    Eyebrow razors ($2.95) coz I'm only left with one unblunt wan HAHA.
    And a random blotting paper from Cyber Colours that I kinda regret now?



    A07 Eye Shadow Brush Medium from Makeup Shop ($13)
    Arezia Angled Eye Brush ($3)
    Silkygirl Funky Eyelights in 09 Lime Green ($8.90)
    Now let me explain. I absolutely didn't need the eyeliner. But I wanted an eyebrow trim and the SA said I will have to get a COSMETIC ITEM, not just accessories, and they were out of the brow kit I so wanted, so I got this instead.

    My eyebrows are wicked neat now woohoo!

    - Beach Road

    Bf got his 50L travel backpack at the Army Market for $65..and we ate yummy chicken rice heheheh.
    Before going home he brought me to eat Shin Tokyo at Yew Tee again. It's fast becoming our hangout though the sushi belt is literally empty always.

    Yesterday was the Natas Travel Fair 2010!
    And the Watsons Sale!
    So me and bf made our way down to Expo....took a very long bus ride from AMK :(
    Had Long John's breakfast along the way - gotta love those thick slices of buttered bread.
    Girls like it thick ya? HAHA.

    Good thing we went early, like Natas started at 10am and we stepped in at 11....coz when we ultimately left Natas, it was like 3pm and there was a HUGE-ASS line of people waiting to buy their tickets. It was $4/pax to enter....

    You guys are probably going, WHAT! U CAME AT 11 AND ONLY LEFT AT 3? 4 HOURS AT A TRAVEL FAIR, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

    Well....yea....but to be fair, we entered twice coz we left to sit down and sort through the thousands of leaflets waved in front of our faces by travel agents.
    Like we planned to go KL but having entered the hall, these awesome destinations were blinking their doll-eyes at us that we even considered going to an all-inclusive trip to Redang, Trengganu. Bf liked the proposal alot, we would probably consider it for our year-end trip...

    We had pamphlets to Japan, Korea, Bali, Batam, Malacca, Hong Kong, hell even Tunisia! Coz everyone kept offering and we kept taking. In the end, all went into the rubbish bin except for the few that caught our eye...

    Watson's Sale was a let-down....probably coz I went on the last day of the sale? The hall was pretty much bare and stuff sold there didn't appeal much to me...was hoping they had more brands of skincare and cosmetics. Ohwellies.

    Oh and can I just say, Orange Julius's orange juice is AWEESOME? Ok that's all. Pictures.

    Settled on Five Stars....the tour agent Ling was very friendly and D was obnoxious, kept teasing her until she got all exasperated.
    Imagine, he asked her whether First World Hotel got ghost. And whether FW got toilet or not.
    -.-
    $11+, $11.70 i think?
    Only makeup item I got...Majolica Majorca Blush in OR322. Orangey shade, I've never had an orange blush and I wanna try!

    Pretty makeup bags were going for $1 each. Material kinda flimsy...but whaddeheck it's a buck! And my makeup bag from Daiso got stolen at JB :(

    $1.90
    Bello Facial Cleansing Wipes, just to try out since I've heard of girls using and loving it...


    $17.70
    Neutrogena Fine Fairness Toner
    Not from Watson's but from Guardian...thank you D! Exactly why Watson's Sale was a let-down...Hoped to get a toner but didn't see my comfort brands...
    Says it will enhance my radiance and replenish moisture. It better!! :D

    Exactly why I need a new bottle of toner. I couldn't find this exact Garnier toner that I liked from Guardian AMK...so I switched to Neutrogena since it's another one of my comfort brands....let's see what happens.

    Yesterday was JB shopping day!

    Initially it was only me and bf but then his parents and one of his uncle wanted to follow so all of us drove across the causeway. Was quite apprehensive at first coz I've only met his parents once during Hari Raya...but all was good and I find his parents really really cute together! They're like small-sized, his father especially whos shorter than his mum....and he has laugh lines as he is forever smiling. His mum is really endearing, and she cracks her own jokes at the most opportune time LOL. I'm glad they came along, I got to know them deeper and share laughs with them.

    I wanted to go Aeon Tebrau City for the longest time so D promised we'll go. But none of us knew how to go there! So D whipped out his iPhone, did GPS and behold! we got a route to Aeon from Singapore. Nifty little thing that iPhone...along the way we stopped at Pandan City for lunch. Had naan bread there - real yummy and soft.
    Here, D ate chicken rice and accidently spilled soup on my top! Like, NO WAY THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ME BEFORE I EVEN START SHOPPING. But his mum was quick to whip out her wet wipes so I didn't end up stinking like chicken oil and the spot dried up pretty fast and left the barest of stains. Fact that the shirt was brownish green helped too. Shops at Pandan City only opens at 5pm onwards so we couldn't shop there.

    We continued on to Aeon and parking was fast. We went shopping as a group but gradually dispersed only to come together again soon, so that's good. We went to Body Shop and D got a body spray and perfume. Got his mum a perfume too and the bill came to a whopping RM219. For 3 items! And not such big bottles either...pretty small actually. He regretted not checking the price first but we got a membership card out of it so that's one positive note. I told him to just let it go, the perfumes smelled great and we'll know not to get fragrances from Body Shop next time...

    He accompanied me to get my makeup stuff and toiletries from Watson's, Elianto and Jusco(makeup-related post coming next)...and of course his parents got their household stuff. After about 5 hours at Aeon, we left for chendol at Larkin coz his dad was craving for it but we got lost. Ended up at Setulang instead to quench the craving and we got 19 Ramly Burgers to-go for the family back home. 19 u guys, it held up the queue so bad HAHA.

    Then it's back to Singapore, sent his uncle and parents home, and then D and I raced against time to Ion Orchard coz I wanted to get some stuff from Sephora and he's never been there before... Good thing they were still open, we arrived at like 935pm HAHA.

    Then on the way home, his iPhone blacked out while I was using it! I was so scared I damaged it one way or another, and he was frustrated things like these always happen at the last minute. Coz he planned to drive up to Malacca today with his family and he wouldn't have the time to repair it before morning shift on Mon. It was dangerously silent in the car let me tell you....but he eventually calmed down and wanted to go down to Starhub this morning.

    AND GUESS WHAT.

    He let his phone rest the whole night right? And this morning he tried switching it on and it wouldn't start coz that's how it was yesterday right?

    He charged it longer this time and suddenly the phone came back to life, showing that it had been running on low battery. I was so relieved and equally annoyed. All the fuss for nothing! GRRRR.

    Our tired faces after 12 hours out.
    I wanna go back to Aeon and see a movie! Had to scrap the initial plan coz it would've been rude to keep your elders waiting...

    Finally turned 21 yesterday but freedom is still subjective in my family -.-

    The family had steamboat dinner in lieu of my bdae and we had strawberry cake coz my mummy knows me well :) My aunt's family came by too for a while, and she gave me a dress. My elder sis gave me moneyyyyyy woohoo. Mummy, Ayah and my younger sisters said they wanna take a rain check and give me something when the pay comes in HEHEEEH.

    And then my sisters and I went to Metro's Expo Sale with my aunt's family since they were driving. Me gotssss a pair of brown Crocs ballet flats, white slippers, a white spag top and delicious underwear in shocking blue, red and yellow for bf. HAHA. I want to see his face when I give them to him. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA OMG.
    And then my uncle treated us to ice cream before sending us home. The Metro sale had some cosmetics - I saw ELF, YSL and Three Beauties amongst others... Lots of fragrances as well, bags, lingerie, clothes, kitchen appliances...u get the picture. Don't know why, but I was more inclined to shoes that day.

    Thank you to those who wished me well yesterday and today, you know who u are *winks*
    Todayy, met up with someone I havnt seen for a lonnnggg time and I've missed unknowingly.


    This minah here - Nur Diyanah Lubis; ex-poly biatch >.<
    I know it seems like we're wearing the same shirt but we're not ok.
    Shes sleeping over at her cousin's house so we met up at Yew Tee to have lunch.
    Hungry Jack's at Koufu.
    I still can't get over the fact that my steak tastes of the smell of cows. Hope I'm making sense.
    But their mushroom soup, baked potato and mashes potatoes are yummy. Oh! And I went to Watson's to get a Loreal true-match concealer coz I wanted to finish off all my Watson's vouchers HEHEH. I have it on right now to cover my undereye circles.
    Seems ok abit runny though.
    Bf is currently doing duty at Marina's countdown. Hope he's not being naughtyyy.
    Anywayyyyy, advanced Happy New Year everybody!!

    Now that I have my own little "vanity desk" in my new bedroom layout, I went to IMM with my little sister to get a small drawer to organise my small makeup collection. Before that, we dropped by Lot1's atrium because I received an email newsletter that ELF was having a sale today til the 27th. Of course, I ended up with some stuff....but boo-hoo they didn't have the eyeshadow brush and the flat top buffer I was lemming for :(

    Got the eyelash curler, face kabuki, bronzing powder in Luminance, color sticks in Light (for undereye circles) and Persimmon (not pigmented so can't use it as a blush. But it gives off a shimmery sheen.) Each at $6, except kabuki. (u.p. $6.90 not much of a sale but whaddeheck)

    After grabbing a bite from KFC, off to IMM. I found my little organiser in Giant for $8+.

    Then went to Daiso to walk around. Seriously, I can't go window shopping! I'll end up with shopping bags that I wasn't even intending on getting! I'm so disappointed in myself -.-

    Wet tissue in a bottle that doesnt work properly hrrmph, teeny nail clippers - one for my makeup bag, one for my vanity, oil blotting paper, an ankle tape for D for his soccer games coz he couldn't find one when we went Vivo the other day and the pink basket everything is in just for my accessories.

    And.....

    Jasmine body mist and pink grapefruit body lotion from Body Shop just coz there's 15% off the whole receipt.

    Don't worry, no more purchases. Last item is a gift hurray! My sister just came back from her holiday in China and she got me something pretty.

    It's a handmade silk-covered compact mirror from a factory she went sight-seeing at...
    It's so prettieeeee! Stitches of flowers front and back at the fore, red chinese emblems sort of opaque in the background. Seems 3-dimensional really. And have I mentioned it's hot pink? Wooooo~! The picture obviously shows how bad my phone camera is and it's not showing the true colour.

    Dawnie is one happy girl :)
