Edo looked ridiculously high that day
Time to cut the cake~
Tradition for each birthday boy/gal >D
After the cake raped him X3
Edo jolly happy with his cake~
Haul for that day 8D Acne patches from Nature Republic at 20% discount *_*, Biore pore pack now in Orange and Pineapple flavor! Etude House BB cream sample (for Nightress) which I got from a small bazaar at the entrance area at Times Square, Sheep Placenta mask from Audrey *_*
I'm on a review roll! I found out that besides St Ives, Queen Helene's scrub is also a star product with many good reviews so I ordered one bottle as the price is quite decent (around RM23 including shipping). Sadly this product isn't available in Malaysia so I had to join one of the spree threads in LYN. Item came in after 2 months, gosh I almost forgot all about it, but instead of a scrub, I found a Masque instead *stares* and my scrub is nowhere to be seen until now D8 The person managing the spree accidentally packed the wrong item in x_X thankfully the rest of the items are exactly what I ordered.
Anyways, this mask comes in a big tube, about 226.8 grams, quite a decent amount for that price. The tube material is very thick @_@ I suspect I might have difficulties squeezing it out when it's about to finish. The mask is said to dry up pimples, shrink large pores and rinses away bleakheads. Now that definitely sounds like a solution for my nose area 8D;; The mask comes in an icky seaweed green color and smells minty or in Audrey's words 'Smells like Clorets!'. Suitable for those with oily skin as it latches on all the impurities and oil on your pores. After I applied it, I felt a burning sensation on my skin @A@;;; like someone applied cili padi on my face haha but the feeling didn't last very long. Left the mask on for 15 minutes and then rinsed my face with warm water.
I'm not sure if it removes my blackheads as I've never be able to tell =3=;; but I can tell you that my face feels much cleaner. I used it quite often lately as it relieves the pain on my pimples x__X. I've been suffering from huge breakouts thanks to the Eumora. Phillip says that it's the soap doing its job of detox-ing my face and the pimples should be gone by week 3. These are really some of the worst pimples I've ever had ;_; oil seeds are coming out non stop from the same pimple *facepalms* and my chin is suffering the worst *sigh* The pimples are so bad till it hurts to touch it D8 and they're so sensitive, I've accidentally popped it too many times in a day. Hope this phase passes by soon x_X.
I had to wait till a Saturday to put these 2 blushers in natural lighting. Looks the same color doesn't it? XD;;
At a glance, both colors looks the same. ELF comes in a nice sleek package with a mirror which isn't really very handy =/ I would still prefer my compact mirror to look at while I do my makeup. I love the pan since it's big and wide so it's easy to cover the brush with blush powder. NYX blusher comes with a see through cover so it's easy to pick through the blush color of your choice if you have a few of these. I just hate the casing cuz it's so thick and looks cheap compared to ELF's. Price wise, i got the ELF blusher for RM10 while the NYX blusher was a bit pricy about RM20+
Swatches! On the left is from the NYX palette and on the right is from the ELF palette.
Both palettes are similar colors but when you swipe them, they turn out differently 8D;; The effects are different when I used the brush. The ELF blusher gives a very dewy finish on my cheeks and it's so subtle that it won't show in photos lol. The NYX swatch looks very dark but when I took the powder with my brush, the color came out just right on my cheeks <3. I'm so tempted to trash my ELF palette now cuz it's very difficult to get the color out x_X.
Thick plastic hearts with Hada Labo's logo they gave to us =D
We were treated to a photoshoot but the requirement is to pose with the blue heart XD;;
While waiting for all the lucky 35 people to arrive, me and Audrey went jakun around the premises.
The walkway from the parking area to the entrance of the restaurant.
The room there is actually a private dining area if not mistaken. There's at least 3-4 of these rooms in Fukuya
'stage' area
Product display according to range
Tester section~ Can I test the mask? >D
After some speeches and a group photo with all the participants. IT'S FOOD TIME! See the fat salmon slices! *drools*
Tempura~~~~~ I tried a bit of the scallop but it's not my thing I guess >< This is a lot of food to be shared among 2-3 people. Our table had 5 people so we had 2 sets of each tray. There was leftovers ;__; what a waste *sobs* We were served with Macha Green Tea ice-cream for dessert *_* but I forgot to take a picture.
During our meal, there was a presentation of Hada Labo's product range and the description of how each range works.
There was also a Lucky Draw session and then a hands on demonstration of how Hada Lado's lotion works. The staff measured our moisture level before applying the lotion and then measured again after the lotion application. My moisture level was 29.4% before and it shot up to 50.4% after using the lotion XD;; If the reading is indeed true then this is a hell lot better than Laneige's Water Bank range! The participant with the biggest difference of moisture level wins a prize haha! The winner's moisture level was from 21% boosted to 70% @A@ wth.
After the demo session, we were given a goodie bag each *o*/ I got excited when I saw the box inside!!!!! It felt like there was a lot of items *_* Audrey opened her goodie bag immediately haha.
Pretty box yes? *o*
*spazzes* Hada Labo!!! you are so generous!!! Thank you!!! <333333 Full size items are: lip balm, face mist spray and moisturizing cream! Sample size items: lotion, cleanser and 1 mask sheet.
We got to bring back a photo too! <3 I love this photog cuz I don't look ugly here! *cries happily* The Salabianca and Clinique photos was just plain SHITTY!
Lastly group photo of the 3 of us <3
THANK YOU HADA LABO!!!!!!
Ah yes~ The famed cleansing oil is now in my hands mwahahhahahahahaha *coughs*. It took me 2 years to buy it =w=;; All this while I've attended their cleansing oil demos and seen good results so I thought of buying it but being a student, it's really pricey to spend RM260 at one go for a cleansing product D8 Now that I'm working, it's an entirely different thing! *_* I bought the cleansing oil some time last month as they had a RM10 rebate for every RM100 spent so me and Ying Ling got a bottle of cleansing oil each and the eyelash curlers as well. Both which are the star items of Shu Uemura. Oh yeah, we both became Shu members too =D I got the pink bottle as it's suitable for oily or acne prone skin :3
I came home and immediately opened the cleansing oil and started using it. After cleansing my face, I still had the greasy/oily feeling on my face but after patting my face dry, I get this velvety feeling on my face which feels kind of weird. At first I thought maybe I didn't wash it properly, but even after a week of using and rinsing it 5-6 times, I still get that greasy/oily feeling so end up I had to use 2 cleansers just to have my face clean. Other than that, it works as a great makeup remover but honestly, I could achieve that with Fasio's makeup remove and Biore's cleansing wipes and that only costs less than RM50 altogether!
This is just my opinion on the product. I'm sadly one of the 10% of the population that can't use this D8. Most of the reveiws are good if you check online. If anyone's interested, I'm selling this away for RM190 (450ml) used less than 10 times. Other skincare items such as Assata Scar Serum and Polynia Face Scrub, you can refer to my selling thread here.
Damn another close shave last night. I can really consider myself a lucky bastard x_X. I was driving home along Jalan Semantan heading towards KL after work around 8pm. The road was heading downhill and there was a slight jam so I stepped on the breaks. The moment I stepped on the breaks, the wheels screeched, my car started skidding @A@;; and was heading towards to the yellow divider. Omg those horrible skidding sounds are still ringing in my brain and the experience of not being able to control my car was damn fuck scary TT_TT. I tried to turn the wheel to the left to get back onto my lane but it was so difficult to control the steering wheel that I accidentally turned too much and I ended up in my neighbor's lane @@;; I finally got my car onto my lane and ended up inches away from the car in front of me.
During the whole incident..... NO ONE HONKED @A@;;;; Either everyone was too stunned or it was normal for them to see cars skidding at that area!!!! I was so confused whether the incident really happened or it was just a dream cuz no one honked me x_X. I was so sure I'd either crash into the divider or bang into my neighbor, thank godsssssss >A<
Only 3 of the items are mine ;__; Combined order with Megu and Kemu
And my pretty pretty palette~ I tried a makeup test with only my eyeliner, CS palette black eyeshadow and my NYX black lipstick
Scary! XD That's why I made the picture smaller! >< and I didn't put foundation so you can see all my pimples ;__; but I love how the eye makeup made my eyes sharper.
A few reviews coming up soon ><
The birthday gal! =D
Last Thursday was Julia's birthday so we had a mini celebration at office.
At night, we shifted the celebration to The Beer Factory, Sunway Giza. I didn't plan to go TwT since I know I won't be able to wake up the next day but office had a trip thanks to TNB so me and Fiyond piled into Lex's car. All photos in this entry are from his cam =) and most of them are so blurry T____T
Most decent picture of all 4 of us
Got forced to drink some Hoegaarden >w< I still hate beer and I have no idea what Fiyond is doing there LOL
Another decent picture with humans in it TwT/
My first time seeing a flaming lamborghini @w@ *noob*
After a few hours, the noise level got unbearable for me x_X so I took Lex's camera and went to take pictures of FullHouse.
Pretty fountain at the entrance *w*
Omg! There's black at FullHouse! I always thought the color is non-existent in there XD
We had our camwhoring moments there
I like the setting this time cuz there's less white!!! <3
Oh this is so overdue. I bought 2 boxes of this in June, just enough to last 1 month and 1 week. I normally take this after my breakfast and I'll be full for the rest of the day haha.
Directions: Take one pack a day in the mid-morning with 100ml hot water (serve as traditional hot chocolate). Recommended minimum of 2 litres of water per day.
This drink comes with a huge problem for me, which is to drink 2 liters of water a day =A=;; I barely drink 500ml a day and this is asking for 4 times more @_@ so I got a 1 liter bottle to keep on my desk so that I can keep track of my water consumption. I had to stop the next week since I had my period TwT but the effects were noticeable =D I lost 3kg after using Leptin for a week (5 days to be exact), my brain was more alert than usual and I find it much easier to wake up in the morning. Even after a week of not consuming Leptin, my appetite did not grow any bigger XD and also I am much more awake during boring meetings hahaha which is a huge plus point for my books.
I got this Leptin drink from an LYN seller here. Do buy from her if you're interested as she's very quick in responding and was so kind to include a few plums with my parcel <3 No I am not paid to advertise this lol.
Nao's brother Phillip recommended this soap to me I think at least a year ago but I refused to use it cuz being stubborn as I am, I was hoping for a skincare product that could suit my problematic face. I'm suffering from majorly huge acne breakouts, skin that is oily enough to remove liquid eyeliner off my eyes and dry cheeks. With the amount of freebies I'm grabbing and trying, I thought I'd sure find the perfect skin care solution for me but this month my acne just got a lot much worse =(. I tried switching my skin care, changing my diet and slept before 12 =( but after 2 weeks, all I see is more pimples popping up like mushrooms.... there were about 5 HUGE ones around my chin area ONLY!! *screams and tears hair*
After debating so long, I finally decided to order a bar of soap from Phillip since it was only RM50 a bar now. This product is your one stop solution for every skin problem and it replaces your cleansers, toners, moisturizers, serums, sunblock to give you radiant flawless skin. Now wonder why am I so skeptical about this product? So starting from Last Monday, I halted all my skincare products and only used the soap... and I was flying in the clouds for the rest of the week!
24 hours after using the soap, the 2 major pimples on my nose was going down and they were less red! From the looks of it, they shouldn't leave a scar on my face! <3 The last time I had these pimples around that area, it took ages to disappear and the scar was there for at least 1 month+ before it disappeared!!! Day 2, I start to notice that my pores are not so gigantic and my face looks less saggy =D Some areas on my skin seems to be flaky and there's some small scabs near the places where my skin is peeling. I searched online and seems like this is the effect of the products as it dries the skin to kill the pimples. The drying sensation is also caused by the combined effect of pore tightening and the skin peeling is the removal of dead skin cells while the tightening feeling is the firming effect (description taken from A Beauty Haven). Can it be, my pore tightens and squeezes out the dirt? 8D I hope so!
While I was using the soap, I noticed that it smelled terrible, turns out it was just the smell of the dirt surfacing on my face o___o. I'm superbly happy with this soap~~~~ =D so I won't be hunting cleansers for a loooong while *_*
Hard at work! XD
OUR MASTERPIECE!
Of course my boss saw it and he complained we lacked a LOT of details. I don't think I need to explain myself =P
Total last minute thing as I RSVP-ed 6 hours before the event XD;; It was only opened to the first 100 Shu Fanatics and since I've recently became a Shu member, might as well abuse the benefits *_* I know for one thing, Shu gives out good GOODIE BAGS! *O*. So I clocked out at 5.30pm on the dot and rushed to MidValley *_* good thing SPRINT isn't jammed till Bangsar area so I arrived there by 6.15pm, just in time before they gave the goodie bags to the public >_> Yes Shu Uemura is stupid, they made us RSVP and goodie bags will only be reserved till 6.30pm wtf, otherwise, it'll be given out to public *fantoi*
The food spread :3
SALMON~~~ <3<3<3 Food was from Delicious and indeed it was DELICIOUS <3
Some cheesy stuff which didn't really appeal to me
Mini burgers which tasted oh-s0-good! *w* The bread was crispy and warm! The patty was nicely done *o*
Visitors can fill up the form and redeem a cleansing oil sample and an eyebrow trimming session. Ying Ling got her brows trimmed but I'd rather stick to threading >_> I find trimming is just a con job for extra cash. They trim your brows till almost botak and then use the eyebrow pencil to cover their mistakes! Con job that costs RM50! pfft

All done with only gel eyeliner *salutes*
Freebies for the dayyy *w* I forgot to put the Laneige lipgloss together ><;;
