Something about me. I’m not that proactive in event. The reality is, all of the product launch event comes with a mini game or activity to spice up the overall agenda. You know, the kind of activity that gets your brain moving after a dull day at work. However, I’m not into such activity. Not because the organizers did a bad job in this matter but when I go to event, I’m getting away from the work so I want to just relax, mingle with my fellow friends, laugh, feel the product, learn about the product and go home happily. I don’t wanna crack my brain at all. Not even a bit!
So when it’s ‘game’ time, I usually slide down the chair so that I’m half hidden underneath the crowd. Let’s face it. I’m not creative if you ask me to create something middle of the day and I’m usually the unlucky one when it comes to contest. I attended the Dr. Brandt Do Not Age blogger event a few months ago and when it’s game time, I cringed. But when I found out that the game is crossword puzzle, for some odd reason I suddenly woke up from feeling miserable and all hyped up. Even I surprised myself. THIS, I’m interested! Long story cut short, the fastest person to finish the crossword puzzle get to win a full size bottle of Do Not Age with Dr. Brandt Transforming Pearl Serum worth RM499 and I won it. It’s not easy at all since the paper that was given to us was merely a A6 size (quarter of A4 paper) and the words are so small that one can go blind staring it. Again for some very odd reason, the words just popped out in front of my eyes.
Initially I didn’t want to review this serum because as you know, it’s very hard for me to gauge whether anti-aging product works on me due to the fact that I don’t have visible signs of aging. I was looking at the outer box for a while now, trying to make sense of what it claimed to do against the hefty price tag. I thought I might as well do a review on it before I ran out.
The thing about me with eyeliner is that I’m so used to liquid pen liner and I’m almost handicap with the rest of the format available. I spend most of my makeup time on perfecting the eyeshadow look so by the time I reached the eye lining step, I’m too tired and lazy to spend even more time on the eyes. All I want to do is to just quickly finish off the eye-do and carry on with the rest of the face! Any eyeliner product that requires a brush or the messiest to work with is most likely the one that I reach out the least. So when I saw this newly launched MAKE UP FOR EVER Ink Liner in my press kit, I doubted it for a second but you know me, I always like to try something new and anything that challenge me, excites me even more.
For the Fall 2014 collection, MAKE UP FOR EVER introduces three new Black Liners. These three new products namely Artist Liner; a kohl pencil liner, Ink Liner; an ink liner and Graphic Liner; a felt-tip pen liner carries three different professional styles of application with three different effects of blacker than ever. You can definitely find an eyeliner that is suitable for your preference, creating a look from the subtlest to the boldest. All three different style of liner are also high in pigment concentration and carbon black in color. Dany Sanz created these liners that is able to give an instant intense, deep, dark black result with the first stroke that stick to the skin once it dries.
I have been secretly compiling my iHerb shopping cart for the past three months and it has been left as it is because a few things that I want it out of stock and when it’s back on, I changed my mind and the whole process repeated again and again until a few days ago. I wanted to get non-beauty products this time around but I have no idea what to get. I googled a bit on what other people normally buy from iHerb to get some idea and this is what I ended up with. This is not a major haul first of all as I wanted to keep the haul small so that I don’t get charge with tax all of a sudden. These are just something that I’ve been wanting to try for months.
So why am I blogging about a not-so-major-haul that doesn’t have anything interesting at all? That is because I want to share with you a slightly different experience with DHL Express Worldwide shipping. I personally feel that the most important thing about making an online purchase is not the items you purchase but it’s the dreadful shipping experience. Agree?
We’ve come to the 2nd instalment of favourites of the month didn’t we? 😀 . Just as I’ve explained in the previous August 2014 Favourites, all the items listed here has yet to made its way to the blog. I might or might not do an individual review after this. Some product yes, some don’t need to!
In this September 2014 Favourites, I have a good mix of beauty, beauty tools and also decor. I’m kinda into decorating mood at the moment. No surprise here since you’ve seen the amount of trips and time spent at home essential stores lately from my Instagram.
I thought of doing 10 favourites product every month but for this month’s favourites I am keeping it short as I’m having migraine for the past few days. When the migraine hit, all I want to do is to just sleep and whine. Nonetheless I’m going to present eight of my favourites to you. So let’s start with the beauty, shall we?
This wonderful news just came in yesterday. So I must share it with you because for the first ever, Urban Decay is going to have a promotional event at Park Mall, Ground Floor, Suria KLCC from 6th – 12th October 2014.
