First Sephora Haul!

So I went to Gurney Paragon right after my finals, and guess what? 
Another unexpected HAUL! I burnt my purse so so badly this time. 

Anyway, this is my first official venture INTO Sephora. I went there last few weeks ago, but it was almost closing time and the guard didn't let me in 
(I mean, do they even want to do business? 
Closing time was 10pm but by 9.45 the shop entrance was halfway closed already)

This time, I finally entered Sephora successfully! There was a plethora of beauty stuff in Sephora and so many new stuff I've never seen before. 

It was literally a beauty heaven. *flower petals falling* 

I started dreaming. 

If only I'm a millionaire. 
Or everything is free of charge. 
Or money falls from the sky.


I could spend my WHOLE DAY just browsing through stuffs in Sephora.  *eyes twinkling*

Super super excited while I was in Sephora! I was literally controlling myself not to buy anything while getting tempted by all the colors when I was swatching them! (Hey, it doesn't look as easy as it seems!)

At the end of the day, I walked out of Sephora.. with a bunch of stuff. >_<

A quick view of what I got from Sephora~

I think you now know what burnt my money away, but hold your horses!

Upon entering Sephora, I told myself I was going to see and swatch some stuffs FOR FUN ONLY. NOT GONNA BUY ANYTHINGGGG.. and failed. *sigh*

Oh well, the first thing that caught my eye was the Urban Decay counter (which was literally right at the entrance) and I decided to walk past it because I know the Urban Decay Naked Palettes are expensive (RM180++).

Then I saw the NYX counter! Was immediately reminded of the NYX Face Awards that I watched on Youtube. So many pretty stuff by NYX, especially their lip products! So I went into swatching mode. This is also my first time swatching publicly in a store. At the beginning I felt quite embarrassed because I wasn't used to it, but after brain-washing myself a little bit then I just went on and unleash the full potential of my hands!! Mwahahah.

So, after swatching almost 20 lip products, what caught my eye was the NYX Matte Lipstick in the color Angel (MLS13). It's the perfect shade for my mum. My mum only use lipstick, she doesn't put on makeup frequently.  It glides on smoothly with great color payoff. 

Unfortunately, the matte lipstick was sold out!! What a bummer. The others were still there, only the Angel one sold out. This proves that I have an eye for nice lipsticks! :P

Nevermind that, I went on swatching until the Lip Gloss section, and I was totally sucked in by the NYX Glam Gloss Aqua Luxe (GLG 03) Beat Goes On! 

It's a golden lip gloss with shimmer and glitters on it, 

it caught my eye instantly and I was like 

"I MUST BUY THIS!!"

The next thing is the NYX Glam Shadow Stick in the color Diamond (GSS08). 
It is a pretty white shimmer stick which I can use to brighten up the inner corner of my eyes and also my undereyes! My first eye brightening stick :D 

Maybe it can also be used as a highlighter, who knows? It came in a retractable stick without the need to sharpen it, which is one of the reason I bought it, for its convenience! 

I'm a super lazy bum. *where is my award already?!*

I was holding the NYX Glam Gloss and Glam Shadow Stick when the salesgirl told me that there was an ongoing promotion. I hesitated a while (of course) and then .. my shopping spree started! Holy cow, the burst of adrenaline drove me to the Urban Decay counter and I contemplated whether to buy the Naked 3 ... 

In the end? I bought it anyway :P *what do you expect from me??*

Then I went to the cashier .. another major discovery! I found out that I need to buy a SEPHORA EYELINER product actually (and also reach RM120 at the same time) in order to get the free gifts. =_= 
The consequences of being greedy! I need to stop getting blinded by makeup already!

It was a good chance to put back the Naked 3 Palette, but my hands wouldn't let it go. 

In the end I went and picked an eyeliner instead. Since I've already had a Gel Eyeliner by 3CE, I decided to buy something more liquid-y instead. The salesgirl showed various eyeliners for me - there were gel ones, liquid ones, and one very intriguing eyeliner. 

It was the Smart Liner by Sephora! I mean, the shape 

was so unique that it looked like a "gun" to me. *pow pow pow!*

Okay, now onto the free stuff!

The first thing they gave me is a mini pot of Sephora Glittering Eye Duo (Eye Glitter + Primer) in the color 03. Lavender. 

After fumbling with the pot itself, I finally get to open it! 
You see, you can flip open the top of the cover, which reveals a pot of primer inside it. 
When you rotate the cover (which is actually the body that contains the primer), it reveals the bottom pot and there are lots of purple glitters inside! Just like the color of soothing lavender :) 

I'm sure this will come in handy if I'm gonna attend any parties! 

Or maybe give my eyes a pop of purple glitter during night outings. ;D

Next on, another glitter product! 

I was instantly attracted when the girl took it out. It was silver and shiny!! Already got me there.
She explained to me that it was an eyeliner as well as a mascara, I was wondering how can this be a mascara? 

Okay, its name is Sephora Mascara & Eyeliner Argent Insolent Sassy Silver *wow that's a really long name* 

I adore this so much even before using it, because the bottle is packed with a bunch of silver metallic glitters that shimmers through the tube itself. I love shiny silver metallic colors .. 
Funfact : I love the cars in the movie "The Host", just because they are super shiny!

Of course I can't wear this onto the streets. 

But at least I can play makeup with it at home! Mwahahah!

Since I bought stuff over RM200, we get a chance to take photos with a HUGE GIANT TRANSFORMER in the middle of Gurney Paragon! Weeeee! 

We were so excited except for my oppa. Haha. In the end we snapped a photo and even got a CD cover! Unfortunately the photo was in the CD, and the CD is not with me :<

That's the story of my first Sephora Haul! Hehe. 

It was fun and super enjoyable, I can't stop hoping that one day I can just sit in Sephora whole day and just looking at beauty stuffs!

I need to start earning money so freaking bad now. :O

My first ever SPLURGE on Laneige!

Hi everyone~ Today I would like to share with you my very first splurge experience on skincare products :D this is an overdue post though, sorry guys hehe

So after trying out the Laneige 2-Tone-Up Duo Kit, it didn't breakout on me. And I was sold by other beauty blogs that claimed that it's effectiveness in brightening up the skin. 

Finally! I decided to buy the White Plus Renew range by Laneige.

Coincidentally, while I was scrolling through Facebook, I saw them promoting their White Plus Renew range and was going to do a promotion event at Queensbay Mall. During that day, I'm pretty sure I'm the first to arrive and the first to sit down and talk a whole lot, and the very first customer on that very first day of the event! That's a lot of firsts. Haha. 

I'm that enthusiastic when it comes to my obsession >:) 

way more enthusiastic than reading my anatomy textbooks.

The girl at the counter was very helpful and explained about the different types of products that I can use. She was super shocked when I told her I didn't use any sunblock at all, in fact, I didn't use anything except for toner. Turns out that the UV rays in the sun will cause dark spots on my skin, and I was too stupid to know that after living for 21 years. =_=

In total, I spent RM 505 for four products, 

Laneige White Plus Renew Original Essence, 

White Plus Renew Skin Refiner, Laneige BB Cushion, 

and their Sun Block Aqua SPF 35 PA++. 

There were other gift sets during the promotion and they would actually more worth it for those who wanted to have a first try on Laneige products, since their gift sets weren't all in full sizes especially for the White Plus Renew range. 

There was only ONE gift set with the full-sized Original Essence with a few other little trial bottles for the others like Skin Refiner, Emulsion, Original Cream, and so on. 

The others were like Moisture care with the total hit "Water Sleeping Pack" and etc.

I spent that much because I wanted to buy more than RM 480 .. 

So that I can get more free gifts nyahahahaha!! 

Apparently if you buy more than RM 350 there will be 7 free gifts (a trial kit with 5 pcs item + 2 pcs sleeping mask etc) with a cute floral cosmetic bag, but if you buy more than RM 480, you can get another 2 pcs item and a white handbag! 

(I'm not really fond of handbags made of leather, 

when I saw it in real I was thinking of giving it to my mum instead :P)

So, according to them, Laneige's whitening care has become more perfect with the new functions like "3-color care + 2 tones up". You can see that they are able to reduce the tone of yellowish, reddish or even blackish skins up to 2 tones! 

Now, onto the products I've bought :

This is all of them together! On my messy table >_<

They even gave me a Laneige magazine Spring 2014 and a pamphlet about BB Cushion with a bunch of infos for me to digest it slowly .. at home. :O

White Plus Renew Skin Refiner 

(sorry for the blurry image, I was too excited my photography skills suck)

White Plus Renew Original Essence

BB Cushion SPF 50+ PA++

Sun Screen Aqua SPF 35 PA++

This is the 5pcs trial kit that they gave as a free gift

Here's my Laneige member card, 
plus some samples I got and the other 2pcs from the 7pcs gift, 
and extra 2pcs of free gift that I got for breaking the record of RM 480   >o<
(the blue one is Firming Sleeping Pack and pink ones are Multiberry Yogurt Repair Pack, , Multiberry Yogurt Peeling Gel and Foaming Cleanser Moisture :D)


The girl at the counter was very kind to give me some samples since I said I'd never tried cleansing oil before. She told me that cleansing oil is needed whenever you apply sunblock, I never knew that! I thought a simple cleanser would be enough. She also gave me the 2 Water Bank Eye Gel Cream and 2 Water Sleeping Pack samples. She told me that the Water Sleeping Pack was the most popular product by Laneige 
(and she was shocked again that I don't even know what 
Laneige's hit product is =_= I'm so noob)

I also became a Laneige member and they gave me a white cool looking card 
with "Snow Water" written on top of it. Not only that, there were vouchers since I was a new member, and I will be able to use it after 1 week of activating it!

This is the cute floral cosmetic pouch that was given as a gift. 
It's my very first cosmetic pouch! :D

The white handbag which was a huge gift! Looks classy!

So that pretty much sums up my splurrrrge on Laneige, or I should say, 
my skincare obsession!
(The power of $$$ and obsessions are so geng :P)
