OnlyBeauty - Your One Stop Freebie Site

Oh yes you saw that right, FREEBIES. I've always love the idea 'Try Before You Buy' that was implemented by Kiehl's whereby customers can take home samples of the product for a proper trial before buying the full size product. It makes the customer feel good when they invest in a full size product knowing that it will definitely give results!

After I was introduced to Kiehl's concept, I started looking for samples to try before buying the full size product as I had very sensitive and acne prone skin :D Unfortunately not many brands carry the same ritual. Either the brand doesn't carry samples or suffer under the scrutiny of the salesperson for the next 15 minutes if you request for one >_<. Others would use the samples as an extra bonus for their customers if they purchase anything. I mostly get the scrutinized.... can't help it if I don't doll myself in skin tight clothes and heels when I visit the counter =_=. Feel paiseh asking for sample when they give me that look ;__; but I don't want to pay RMXX and not get the results I want.......

Now thanks to a group of people who understand those concerns of mine (and tons of other females XD), I introduce to you OnlyBeauty an online beauty portal that provides the latest beauty information, promotions, product workshops and yes, FREEBIES~!!!!

OnlyBeauty's site. They've went through a revamp comparing to the last time I visited the site. Feels a lot of more user friendly now :P

Then just kick back and stalk the Successful Applicant List, praying hard that you'll get the sample you applied for! 

No need to spend time and money to travel and ask for sample,

Catch the Kose Bus!

Kose decided to kick start their new year by playing mouse hunt XD;;

Journey towards Fair & Radiant with KOSE
1st Jan - 30th Apr 2011
Let's begin the NEW 2011 with a journey towards Fair & Radiant with KOSE SEKKISEI

1. SPOT a SEKKISEI Bus On the Road
2. Snap a picture of SEKKISEI Bus at any angle
3.Visit any KOSE counter, show it to our BA for SURPRISE~~

Sample of the bus wrap! Taken from their Facebook.

I happened to see the bus when I dropped my mum of so I quickly snapped a pic and dropped by the counter to see what's the surprise =D

Got a Kose Sekkisei Lotion Mask! I wonder if the gifts are different in each branch? *w*

Of Flaming Boxers & Egg Tarts

Ugh it was surprisingly a VERY frustrating Sunday cuz everyone seemed to have a bone to pick with me. I woke up at 8am to line up for the DC comics goodie bag at Pavilion. Got my special 'free' parking spot near the Ritz, or so I thought it was free =(

Some parking attendant came and asked me for RM3!!!! I mean it's nothing compared to paying RM7 at Starhill but all the while I've been parking at the area for free, so I argued with him a bit D: then decided to let it slide since he had this official looking receipt with ParkWay's chop.... not without leaving a threat that if there's a single scratch on my car, I will personally ram him down to add on to the deco =P (okay I didn't exactly say that but it was what crossed my mind).

Then as I walked into Pavilion, a guard stopped me saying I can't go in till 10am WTF?! I asked him what reason is there and he said just cause it's closed wtf??? This is the first time I've been shoo-ed from a shopping centre just cause they're not open D: I saw some people walking to another direction from the corner of my eye so I followed the trail of ants people and got in from the side entrance! >o</

Again as we queued up in front of the store, we got shoo-ed again wtf =( but the staff were kind enough to give us a running number so that we can get our goodies for us early birds 8D. On my way out, I found a nice corner near the lift where I could hide till 10am >D so I stayed hidden till 9.51am then went back and join the queue. Thank god, I stepped out just as the lift opened and a flood of people came out cuz there was a guard at that corner too ma cheebai >_>

The crowd at 10am.

As Johnny told me on Saturday, the store didn't opened till 11am, again they didn't open till 11am today but luckily I brought a book to kill time. It's a bit sad that people just walked off the moment they received the goodie bag without bothering to tour the store =(. I on the other hand decided to browse through to see if the store concept, it looked kind of interesting from the pictures Johnny posted.

The shoe aisle caught my eyes omg the pretty shoessss ;o; but they cost RM199! I wanted to take a closeup of my fav but the salesgirl was there so I dare not =( but I like those pink fluffy shoes and the neon colored ones at the bottom shelves =/ I'm starting to like some pink stuff but the amount of pink fanatic girls out there just scares the shit out of me =_= from buying anything pink related.

I find it quite reasonable actually as their shirts cost RM119 minimum wtf and a cap with a Superman logo on it cost RM99 o_o I wonder if it's real swarovski gems or they're just charging us for the painstaking labor to stick all those on the cap.

My goodies~ A superman shirt, my flaming boxers! XD and also a superhero calendar which shall be on my office desk! =D

After the DC comic event, I went to pick some egg tarts before heading home. I've loved the egg tarts at this place but never got the chance to stop by here cuz there's no public transportation near this area despite it being in the heart of KL =/ so I'd like to introduce you toooo~ *drum rolls*

Win Heng Seng coffee shop! Some might know this area especially with the huge Tropicana ad up there. This place is infamous as a lunch area but there's a jewel within the cluster of hawker stalls~

Lives the king of all egg tarts that can put Jon King to shame!!! >A< Ok not really the king but it's one of the tastier egg tarts in KL.

Egg tarts fresh from the oven! Their tarts are so famous that a fresh batch comes out from the oven every 15 minutes and before the next batch comes out, they're all finished! People come from Singapore, 'tapau' 20-40 pcs before they board the bus.

The uncle and his magic oven~

After fighting with the crowd, I manage to get 15 tarts to take home. These tarts can fit into your mouth so you won't make a mess at home =D The tarts are priced at 70 cents per pc. They do sell other snacks such as siew pau and pineapple tarts, not sure for the pricing of those.

On my home, some stupid herd, yes it's a bloody fucking herd of about 20-30 Malays decided to cross the road when the traffic light on my side is still GREEN! I'm not trying to be racist but it was a whole fucking family of Malays =_= I'm telling it as it is. These are adults carrying small children and crossing the road when the light was green! Are these people that suicidal! They see my hugeass green car coming towards them and they just take a step forward!!!!! Retards I tell you, fucking retards!!!! They only know how to copulate to populate wtf.

I dropped by Jusco to grab my Sebamed stuff and ended up spending RM196 wtf! Most of the amount went to my beauty drink as there was a promotion going on or else the actually price would me RM149 D: I didn't expect to spend till mid-Dec but ugh the promotion caught me off guard! Never mind ;_; I have to tell myself that it's cheaper compared to if I buy it later. My Sebamed was going on discount too so I grabbed the cleanser just incase mine finishes. The sample kit is lasting really long =D even though I'm using quite a generous amount on my face every day. I take it as a good sign =)

Forgetful Me~

I've been quite forgetful this whole week so listing stuffs down here that I have to prepare before shoot.

Uriage Samples Get!

Last I heard of Uriage was during a very tempting promotion at SASA. Uriage is quite similiar to Avene which targets sensitive, dry and irritated skin. Uriage products are all hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and made using a minimum of preservatives. Their best selling product would be the Thermal Water just like Avene. I can't give any opinion about Uriage but I'm using Avene thermal water at the moment. It's a real treat on your face after you've been out in the hot sun <3, I normally use it before applying my makeup. I'm not sure what samples would they be giving this time but no harm trying. It's free after all! =D

To redeem a sample, please send your personal details by mail to Laboratoires Dermatologiques D'Uriage c/o Zuellig Pharma Sdn. Bhd., 15 Persiaran Pasak Bumi, Seksyen U8, Perindustrian Bukit Jelutong, 40150 Shah Alam, Selangor Darul Ehsan or by email to uriage@streamyx.com. Indicate:

Welcoming The Autumn With Spring Colors

Shu Uemura embraces the Fall with a burst of purple and green hues. Honestly I was caught off guard when I saw the promotional poster in Shu Uemura outlets, I was thinking 'Is this some belated Spring collection? @A@;;'. Other cosmetic brands introduced dark and neutral colors for the fall season but Shu Uemura stepped out with flower power full force =D. Eye candy for this collection includes:

Graceful Bloom palette which is limited edition.

Dreamy Palette consisting of warm colors

Partial Floral Feather False Eyelashes

Floral Shimmer Mineral Face Powder

The launch was only held in certain outlets =(. I RSVP-ed for the launch in Empire but I KO-ed after the sale so I couldn't rush in time. Lucky there was another launch on Sunday at Pavilion, 3pm. I forgot how small Shu uemura's kiosk is D8 and thank gods not all 40 people came for the launch. It was so cramped and the SA were only interested in entertaining customers who are buying the products. The decorations weren't up yet but they were setting up the food *_*b

They totally abused the flowers left, right, centre D8. Mini tarts.

Mini Cheesecake?

I forgot all about this so I didn't get a taste of it D8

Meringue @_@ omg this thing is so fuwa fuwa >A< So fun to poke it with a fork~

Brownies!

Yes as you can see there's TONS of flowers orz and they're all edible. I didn't dare to eat them but YL did rofl. While we were eating, we suddenly spotted something colorful *o* and other people were crowding around it.

Ooooo the 'decorations' for the event~ Headbands that you can only get if you purchase above RM500 D8

For the rest of the common fold who just want to hoard the free food and goodies, we are allowed to pick either a pin or a hair tie instead as a gift =P

The event was a bit sad. Mainly it was for customers to mingle around. There was no demonstration on how to use the palette. Even the SA's were not wearing the fake eyelashes =(, they had this 'lan si face' most of the time cis. We left around 4 to raid the cosmetic counters in Parkson. Note to self, never attend launches in Pavilion D:

Good thing from this launch is the goodie bag I guess. Another bottle of cleansing oil and a bottle of lotion and emulsion from the DeepSea Hydrability range.

Freebies Haul for the Week!

Shu Uemura sample!!!!

This is unexpected o_o

I came back to find some box inside an envelope on my table. I thought it was my lotion that finally arrived. Opened it to find this. I gave my details to their website months ago and forgot that I was suppose to receive this XD;;

Work is great and each day, I feel grateful for getting such a fun job with a fun boss XD;; Wish to blog more but I come home always feeling tired and I have no time to type in office T_T My colleague brought her external today and I just leeched 60GB worth of TV series and movies (and there's Glee included! *o*) I shall try my bests to resist watching them in office TwT as long as I don't go download VLC to that comp haha XD

MiLab Samples: Nzyme Series

The other day I saw an ad on MiLab and it mentioned that I can email for some samples XD. So far I've seen reviews about their sleeping mask but I decided to simply try my luck and see what they'll give me =D. 4 days later, samples arrived! *o*

I got the Nzyme pore refining set =D

A double action mask that exfoliates and refines the skin gently and effectively. It uses therapeutic plant enzymes to gently slough off dead surface skin cells to reveal a fresh, balance and soft complexion.

N-zyme facial cleansing powder micro-exfoliates dulling debris and instantly leaves the skin noticeably smoother and softer. The powerful powder formula activates upon contact with water, releasing papain, bromelain, and rice actives to smooth the skin and accelerate cell renewal, leaving the skin extraordinarily clear and refreshed.

It also helps to remove the dull layer of dead skin cells, improves the texture of skin, unclogs pores as well as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In addiction, it can prevent ingrown hair and acne scarring.

Descriptions of products copied from main site.

I did a little bit of digging about the Tiger Eye stone and I found this

Tiger's eye (also called Tigers eye or Tiger eye) is a chatoyant gemstone that is usually a metamorphic rock that is yellow- to red-brown, with a silky luster. A member of the quartz group, it is a classic example of pseudomorphous replacement by silica of fibrous crocidolite (blue asbestos). An incompletely silicified blue variant is called Hawk's eye.

The gems are usually cut en cabochon in order to best display their chatoyancy. Red stones are brought about through gentle heat treatment. Honey-coloured stones have been used to imitate the much higher valued cat's eye chrysoberyl (cymophane), but the overall effect is unconvincing. Artificial fiberoptic glass is a common imitation of tiger's eye, and is produced in a wide range of colors. Tiger's Eye mostly comes from South Africa.

Above quote from Wikipedia ahaha *gets smacked*. Some sites wrote about its healing properties as well, I'm not so confident in its effectiveness XD;; but at least this bit of info will encourage me to wear it out XD.

Women Make The Right Decisions! =D

When I'm without a camera, I have no spirit to blog TwT. The Blackberry has a better camera but I'd rather have a camera by itself ;w; Went for dinner with Jonathan last night at Swensens and men just can't seem to order the right food XD;; His spaghetti arrived with CHUNKS of beef and the sauce looks dried up. My fish baked rice was very nicely done *_*, the cheese half melted so it oozes~~~~ The best part was the dessert: Banana Crumble.

It's sizzling! *_*b RM22 serves 2 people =D Have to eat it quick while it's hot cuz it's disgusting when cold ><

For you freebie hunters :3 Just fill up the form at the main site and print it out!

Terrible Friday Experience

Thank you Jared for bringing me to nice places to eat ;_; it was definitely a good weekend~

Went to Gardens and had lunch at Zouk :3

They had a lunch set for RM21.90 or RM18.90 an add RM4.90 for dessert or soup. We took the RM21.90 and added soup and dessert. I ordered cake as my dessert only to have the waiter telling me that they only serve beef pie and muffins on that day when clearly the menu says dessert is any cake selection or panna cotta. So our dessert is Beef Pie and and for soup, we picked Wild Mushroom soup

Jared's Seafood Aglio Oglio

My Fish and Fries that took AGES to arrive

The service was TERRIBLE. Our soup didn't arrive and when Jared asked about it, they went back to the kitchen and came back telling us there's no more mushroom soup. Again, I whinned about the cake so the waiter said he'll go and ask the manager. I got my cake in the end thanks to him. My Fish and Fries took ages too. We were long done with the Seafood Aglio Oglio before the Fish and Fries arrive.

The Beef Pies enough for two mouthfuls if your mouth is as small as mine. Tasted like super expensive 'siew pau' if you ask me.

Our Chocolate Moist Cake that's crumbly and dry D8. This is RM12.90 ala carte price. Even cake mass produced in factories would taste better =_= and more moist. This cake is so dry it felt like it was left in the fridge for days.

After lunch, we walked around here and there. I realized there's nothing to shop at MidValley D8 compared to Sunway Pyramid and 1 Utama. 5pm, I went for the CLarins launch which was ANOTHER bad experience *sigh*.

I registered and was ushered to the refreshment table. There weren't enough seats and the drinks took a while to be refilled. After that we were attended to individually. I was brought to the skin analysis table and was given the most inexperienced consultation I've ever come across =_=. I won't bother going into details but in short, she asked me to change my moisturizer only cuz it's a common brand. My moisturizer has clearly helped in improving the hydration level of my skin judging by the comments of the Clinique SA and during my most recent facial session.

After the skin analysis, I was brought over to the makeover table. There was a queue but it was good that the SA took her time in making sure each guest gets a good makeover. When my turn came, another SA came and switched places. She did my makeup in a rush D8. Coverage was good but the eyeliner was all smudgy and the lipstick she applied onto me was too thick.

Then it came to the tunnel where guests can walk thru the tunnel to know more about the product and at the end of the tunnel there's 4 doors. You pick a door and 4 random keys from a basket full of keys. If the key you picked, unlocks the door of your choice, you'll get a prize =D. I was a bit disappointed that no SA walked with me through the tunnel and the shove the basket of keys with me without telling me more about their product. When I came home and read the reports of other bloggers, I was also sad that I wasn't presented with my door gift >< *sigh* quite a messy launch.

My freebie from Laneige. Saw the cutout coupon in the Star newspaper on Thursday =D
