Estee Lauder Staff sales

Slept for less than 3 hours before rushing to Renaissance hotel at 4 am. I reached at 5 am sharp and there were already people lining up. After a 2 hours plus of waiting finally the gates to chaos open up. And the girls just rush in,running, stomping each other and grabbing stuff. Some went with their man and trust me when I say you will need as much help as you need. It’s like the woman says to man, ‘Grab my handbag *roll sleeves up* I’m going in!’ Man’s role is to hold on to the goods while the ladies push through the crowd.

I saw some personal shoppers there, you can tell by looking at the long list they are holding and keep ticking off stuff. I’ve thought of being one since shopping brings me a happy rush and a small part of me just love the chaos in there. Does that make me sound crazy?

I grabbed lots of stuff but put out almost 80% of it when sorting out my stuff. I had promise myself no more eye products so I put back all of those and only took the face product. The stuff there are still pretty expensive, I think the prices from the L’oreal Luxury sales was cheaper. Most stuff here are priced at RM75 to Rm110. And they pack the products like 20cents candies, the one where they is different different type of combination of stuff for a fixed price and it’s hard to find a pack where there is everything you like in it. This was especially so for the MAC counter, all kinds of combination of stuff, e.g. eyeshadow with lipstick and lipliner, RM75/pack. Lets say you want 3 eyeshadow but you just want the eyeshadow then how??? You will have to buy 3 packs with lipstick that you don’t even know what colour it is. This way you are so going to overspend, but great way for the company to clear their stock course people will need to take the package as it is including the stuff people don’t want, Smart huh?

Bobbi Brown has some really nice stuff and quite a complete range but it was sold out the fastest. I was the 2nd batch in and BB was the first counter I went and things were already sold out. Other counters like origins, Clinique and DKNY was bit quieter than Estee Lauder and MAC. I can’t even move through the crowd despite being so small size :-(

There are so many counters opened so no worries about long queues for payment. As I was paying I saw the display on the other cashiers amount paid by the customer from RM200++ range to RM600++ range. I can bet some might even purchase up to the limit RM2000.

I got 3 items and total was RM200. Can’t buy much cause I don’t want my dad to be yelling over the phone when my bills come. But still me happy happy happy that I get to go at the last minute :-D

Now picture time!

First up, me going crazy for getting the tickets:

Going crazy stage 1…

Stage 2…

Strike 3 and I’m out! :-P

Ok Ok, back to business:

My first Bobbi Brown and MAC ever! HAHAHAHA!

I got the Shimmer Brick Compact in Copper Diamond (RM75). Looks so nice with its gold colour packaging…oooo….
Then there is the MAC Prep+Prime Skin Enhancer in Neutralize (RM50). Hopefully to calm my face redness.
And finally the thing that look like a lipstick in the pic is the Foundation stick in Cool Beige 3.25 (RM75), it was a perfect match thank goodness!

Outfit+some minor shopping

Last Saturday my BF’s parents came to visit him and I went along with them to Pyramid. After they left I went to do some shopping and it has been awhile since I bought some clothes or anything at all. After strolling here and there I ended up not buying any clothes at all. Even my BF can tell me it has been so long that we had gone shopping together so you can tell it has been ages. Nowadays after I started buying things online I have been so lazy to do physical shopping. No turning back once you buy online I tell you. Especially when it comes to clothes will be the worse as I am so lazy to try them out so in the end nothing lo.

But I did buy something else, if not I won’t be back home satisfied la. I bought a new mascara and hair dye :-D I wanted to dye my hair again since the last time I did the colour didn’t show up. I got Hoyu Beauteen in Caramel Chocolate:

The mascara is at the most bottom right and the rest are from the box of hair dye.

The packaging looks so cute and it is in pink, definitely shows up the ‘Japanese’ in it. I stood in front of the hair dye at Watson thinking which colour to get, I wanted the colour to show up so was pretty much tempted to get a lighter shade but afraid it will look too ‘LaLa’. In the end I grab the natural shade above. It was on discount and I got it RM20. The mascara was also on discount and I think the price is RM25 or so. Lost my receipt so can’t be too sure about it. The mascara is from Maybelline. Note to others are that if you want to purchase anything from Watson go only on the weekends ’cause they only have discount then.

Hubby dyed my hair for me on Saturday night:

Looks gross eh? Left it on for 25 mins. It didn’t smell as bad as the others I have used and it actually smells like flowers. I felt slight stinging on my scalp while leaving it on but no big deal ’cause I have some acne close to my hairline. Now after 2 days my hair did not feel dry but instead smoother than ever. Thumbs up for that ;-)

And my outfit on Saturday:

Top from online Facebook seller Xinni Wang. I think it was less than RM30. I’m really not good at remembering prices ain’t I? The tights were from Nichii and belt from Vincci which both I bought long time ago.

I had my dose of Juice Work in Pyramid that day and manage to do some cam-whore with BF:

And there was a promo going on for the MTV world stage:

Happy always.
