I took some time off from work and headed to Isetan Anniversary Sales on Friday morning. The first day usually is closed for Isetan members. I was told there’s a Paul & Joe and Anna Sui further markdown 2 weeks ago and I was really excited. I go in from Ground Floor and went straight up to 4th floor at “The Gallery” where the cosmetic and fragrance fair is held. Here’s my damage.
I didn’t know where Paul & Joe counter is at so I took my time to browse around for other stuff and then I saw them. My target is to get lipstick, eyeshadow, 2-way foundation but there’s no single lipstick or eyeshadow for sale. Everything is packed in a set and we can’t choose the lipstick or lip gloss colour that are in the set. I was delighted to see that Paul & Joe Protective Dual Powder Foundation UV Set selling at RM158 which comes with a free refill and lip gloss. Next I decided to grab Paul & Joe Face Color & Lip Gloss Coffret Set for RM109.
Drawstring satin pouch is made from thick satin material which doesn’t feel flimsy at all. It’s kinda cute too 🙂 |
The most value for money and anticipated purchase for me is this Paul & Joe Protective Dual Powder Foundation UV Set which comes with a retail compact, refill pack and a Lip Gloss N. All that for RM158. The compact itself costs RM150. Basically I just add RM8 for the refill and lip gloss! LOL.

I moved over to Anna Sui for mascara but they only offer 30% off from retail price which is not really a lot saving if I were to compare with all the counter there. So I moved to Shiseido counter and managed to grabbed MAQuillAGE Full Vision Mascara #BK999 for RM40 and two Eye Color N which is eyeshadow base for RM17.50 each. When I checked the mascara the next morning, to my horror the mascara is all dried up. So I brought it along with me the next day (yes I went again with my colleague) and ask for an exchange. I was told straight to my face that they don’t allow exchange. I screamed a lil to her saying that I bought a mascara from them, it’s dried up and I can’t exchange? She said yes they don’t allow exchange. I repeated myself again this time with a hard tone and she said she’d ask from another colleague. I overheard her colleague saying to her that they must exchange for me and I was relieved. When the lady came back to me with an answer, she told me to choose another item. I was so annoyed. I insist that I want a mascara and she said it’s sold out. AIYO. SAY SO LA EARLIER. The lady didn’t even mentioned about sold out. She just blindly ask me to choose another item. So I chose a blusher for an exchange with the same price. Phew. Long story huh.
Shiseido MAQuillAGE Eye Color N – RM17.50 each & ShiSeido Accentuating Powder Blush #B2 Rosy Beige – RM40 |
This is the exact colour. Not as light as above picture. This applies to be more natural. Not too white or too pinky. |
I was happy to see Majolica Majorca there as well. I skipped their eyeshadow which is dirt cheap comparing with drugstore. I only grabbed two Lash Gorgeous Wing mascara for RM29.90 each.
Next. I walked down to Ground Floor to Clarins counter to get HydraQuench Starter Kit which is selling at RM78. This is very similar to Truly Matte Best Busy Set. Only missing a cleanser.
HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase 15ml, HydraQuench Cream-Gel 15ml,HydraQuench Cream-Mask 15ml & white cube pouch. |
The cute square cube pouch included is cute. I like the leather-like material. |
On the second day, I constrain myself from spending but curious about Kate Nail Color Dry so I bought one to try. It’s to fasten the drying process of nail polish. It’s only RM12.
* Picture appears blur due to the shrink wrap. |
What’s my damage? Total of RM569.80. Phew.

OMG i hate rude salesgirls! Can they understand they are in a service sector where they are supposed to provide good service? Pengsan..
What to do. They think I’m stupid. Little did they know I’m not as stupid as they think 😉
Hi Fiona!
If only I’d been in Malaysia, I would surely haul like crazy!
Love love love you haul!
Hi Vonvon,
Thanks for dropping by!
Actually as I was at Paul & Joe booth, I kept thinking “Vonvon will like this sales” :). I know how much you like them.
I was thinking to go back for another set of Paul & Joe Protective Dual Powder Foundation UV Set. Still considering if I should get the single eyeshadow+eyeshadow brush+eye gloss set.
Awww, Fiona. I am touched! 🙂
There is no Paul & Joe in the UK except in Fenwick department store, which unfortunately is not anywhere near my place.
Hmmm, my advice is to go get the eyeshadow/eye gloss set. haven’t tried their brushes. But their eye gloss is very pretty and nice to use. Hope there is still stock available! 🙂
Thanks Vonvon for the good advice!
I went back the second time on last Sunday and I’m still holding the eyeshadow/gloss set hehe. The brush is cute.
Disappointed with Shiseido though. All the items are mfg in 2008 and some 2009. Which is why I didn’t get anything major.
