Lowyat.net haul!

This is a very delayed post. xD

This haul was actually during late April this year but i guess i spent most of my free time sleeping or doing something else. What! I have really short sleeping hours this year. :C

Anyways! As every Malaysian online shopper knows, Lowyat.net is a haven for cheap goods! You can even find brand new items there too AND at a discounted/ lower price than retail shops. That's what i love about online shopping! If the seller provides free shipping, even better lol!

Onto my haul items!

\ ( o A o ) / RMK, Majolica Majorca, Lancome and Shu Uemura! Have never owned any of the products from these brand before so I'm kinda happy to be able to get all these items at a great price. :D

RMK Creamy Polished Base, shade 01.

As the name states, this is a make up base. Makes make up stay longer and provide a smooth and bright 'canvas' for foundation/ concealer! It also covers large pores! This can be used alone too as a foundation for light coverage. This is a pre-loved item so the price was about RM30. Retail price (from Sasa.com) is USD93.9, which is around RM280 + wtf. I think the previous owner bought this item at a discounted price too. Why would she sell it at such a freaking low price? D: She claims that she only used it twice and when i got it, it still feels kinda full. So yeah. Score!

Tested it once and it really made my skin smooth! It also somehow brighten my skin because my skin seem a little glowy under certain lighting. <3 As for pore covering, i have super huge pores fml but it did managed to cover them. So i'm quite satisfied with this base!

RMK Ingenious Cheek Blush, color Pale Pink.

This blush is a FREE item from the RMK base purchase! The seller was having this buy 1 free 1 promo so of course i took this chance to buy something. :D Among all the items that i can get for free, i thought getting a blush is more worth it because i use it more often than the nail polishes, dramatic colored eye shadows and make up brushes she offered. Plus the only blush i have is a RM5 Daiso blush which is a little too pink for my liking.

This blush turned out to be... Too pale orz. It seems more of a highlighter than a blush. Like to give your face an overall pinkish glow, you can use this all over your face. Since it's really light, i'd layer this over my overly pink Daiso blush to tone down the color.

Shu Uemura Stage Performer Instant Glow primer.

This is the travelling pack version of the primer. Got this for RM20! The product is sort of a pearly white watery cream and disappears onto the skin when applied. It gives your face a radiant glow as well to brighten up dull complexion. Tried using this along with the RMK base plus a little pressed powder and it really brighten up my face! I have a rather dull complexion due to pimple scars so it really works well for me.

Majolica Majorca Puff de Cheek, (L) Apricot Macaron / (R) Peach Macaron

THIS IS WAY TOO CUTE! :3 Pretty and cute item packaging really catches my eye easily! Got this both for RM45., which is RM22.5 for one. Retail price is RM45.90 for ONE! :O
The previous owner never used it before! She only tested it with her fingers. The puffs came clean! So it's practically unused! Always wanted to own a slightly more orangey blush for a sun kissed look. The two blushers isn't really as pigmented as usual blushers as i need to apply it a few times on my cheek for the color to really show up. But overall am loving the colors!

Lancome Color Fever Shine Lipstick, color 308.

Got this for RM30! Can't seem to find the correct retail price. Since it's Lancome, i assume that it's quite pricey. >__< This lippie's shade seems peachy at first, but it's more of a baby pink when applied to my lips. Though it may appear peachy in certain lighting but mostly it's baby pink! Just the shade of pink i want. :3 

That's all! Been so busy nowadays going to college's for their open days and educational fairs and whatnot. :/ All this college thing, really... just stahp! D: I hope i can come to a decision soon. 

Btw, class trip to Langkawi this coming Monday! And also Comic Fiesta! 8D

Cheapo make up haul!

Late update because I'm practically out almost everyday! xD

Been doing some last minute accessories shopping for prom. Prom ended yesterday night and it was indeed awesome! Spent the night with a wonderful landscape view of KL city. KL is really beautiful viewed from up high! All the pretty city lights!

Okay, onto my make up haul! The reason why i put 'cheapo' on the post title because most of the items are discounted items hehe. I admit that I'm a really kiam siap person when it comes to buying things. I'll be thinking 'So expensive! I'm sure there are cheaper ones out there." and end up walking the entire shopping mall looking for a cheaper item. Even if the price is lesser by RM3 I'm already satisfied haha! That's how much of a cheapskate i am!

Since it's that time of year where there are sales everywhere on everything be it cosmetics, clothes, shoes and even electronics. I couldn't help but spend a little more to grab some items with awesome deals. A trip down to Sunway Pyramid and I've bought so many items! Will also include a short review of some items that I've used.

Shopping loot of the day! A total of 7 items! (I counted the nail polishes and masks as one item)
When shopping, I'll only end up buying max 3 items or sometimes nothing at all. But for this time, i really couldn't resist! 8D

Daiso's individual lower lashes.

As usual, everything in Daiso is RM5. So of course you can find me hanging and lurking around any Daiso outlets often. :P I wanted to try out a few looks that needed individual bottom lashes so i got these.

 Nail polish!

I have a rather minuscule collection and hope to expand it! Bought all of them from Sasa. Top row is a brand 'Eleanor' which I've never heard of. I think this was 3 for RM9.90. Bottom row is from Color Combos! Have heard about this brand. Apparently, CC is only available in Sasa outlets only. Seen some good reviews of their products, maybe I'll try them out in future. :D 3 of them also for RM9.90! Really good deal!

I used the peach Eleanor nail polish along with CC's glitter and top/base coat nail polish for prom. And the color turned out really pretty! Though i had to apply 2 layers of the glitter one but that's how every glitter polishes are right?

Do ignore my lousy nail painting skills! >__<"

Turns out that it wasn't really peach! It's more of a soft baby pink. In some lighting it does look a little peach but this is the most accurate color i can get. But i still love it anyway! And the glitter really twinkles! <3
The top/base coat really sealed everything and smoothed the surface of my nail. Usually after the layer of glitter dries, if you run you finger across your nail, you'd feel the uneven surface of the glitter. But the top/base coat made my nails ultra smooth!

Mist toner/ finishing spray by Sasa's own line Sasatinnie.

 Got this for RM10 only! Original price was RM22.90 if i'm not mistaken. The salesgirl was even using a bottle of her own! Can be used before make up as a toner (duh!) or after make up as a finishing spray to help keep everything in place. 

4 for RM10 masks! 8D

There are also the 4 for RM20 ones but meh, over budget lol! (cheapskate talk)
These are also from Sasatinnie. First time buying their masks! So far i haven't come across any masks that breaks me out or make my skin worse so yeah, shall give it a try. My usual masks are mostly from Watsons, and The Face Shop or Etude House if they're having promotions. :P

Kiss Me Heroine Make Matte BB Liquid.

Also from Sasa. This brand is sold in Watsons too but i bought it from Sasa as they're having a super discount for this! This is by far the biggest steal ever! I got it for a discount of

50%!

Yes! 50 freaking % discount!
The original price was RM50+- and i got it for only RM25! Imagine buying Kiss Me products at only Maybelline's price. :O :O :O

I was looking for a new foundation/ BB cream that suits my super-oily-till-can-fry-egg skin and after much research i found out that this suits me the most. The previous BB cream that i'm using is Elianto's Miracle Multiplex and it made my skin even oilier. D:

So damn lucky to get this at a super low price!

Maybelline's Clear Smooth 2 Way Cake Powder.

By '2 way' it meant that the powder can be used at either a wet or dry texture i think? I guess that's what the salesgirl said heh. I'm using the shade 02 Natural.
The original price for this was RM29.90 i think? Forgive my terrible memory. :( Wastsons had it discounted to around RM14+-!

My previous Pure Fresh Oil Control pressed powder from Silky Girl didn't work well for me as it made my face cakey and it's oil control is so-so.

Did a lot or research too and found that this was the best for my skin. I really like browsing US or UK make up forums because they're really informative and the members are extremely helpful! :D

I used Kiss Me's BB Matte Liquid with this powder for prom and it lasted the whole night through! My face looked so smooth and bright! Bright as in fair and not dull looking. Was jumping around during the dance session and sweat a little but it still stayed on my face! Even after dancing, i took some photos but my face still looked fine. No shiny face at all! (Y)

Watsons face wipes for make up!

Bought it for the usual price of 2 packets for RM5.90

Previously, i used Silkygirl's Hydra Clean make up remover which was a thick creamy texture but i'm really lazy to use it with cotton pads. But it does remove make up quite well and it smells nice.

* Pic credits to offerstation.com *

Then, i switched to Biore's Cleansing Oil cotton wipes cause face wipes are much more convenient and easy for lazy asses like me haha! I really like this product because each sheet of face wipe is full of the cleansing oil and you can like literally squeeze out the oil in it! This made my make up removing much easier. It even comes with a box so you can use it like tissues! And when it's finished, you can just refill it. The downside of this product that the smell of the oil is quite strong, for me at least. The scent made me feel a little dizzy. D:
That's why i've stopped using it. But it's highly recommended if you're looking for a good make up remover wipes!

And then i ended up with this Watsons face wipes! It was during C2AGE this year that i discovered this. :D
I forgot to bring my Biore cleansing wipes so i ended up looking for some cheap ones from Watsons. Found this one and gave it a try. First impression was the wipes' nice smell! Smells like flowers! The wipes was quite filled with the cleansing water but not as much as Biore's. It removes my make up quite easily too, but i do need to use a little more pressure than using Biore's. After removing make up, my skin feels really moist and little bit oily but while using Biore's, my skin felt super oily as if i poured baby oil on my face lol. Am glad that i discovered this awesome yet affordable product!

And i also found out that Singaporean blogger Qiu Qiu uses this face wipes too from one of her Budget barbie episodes! 8D

That's all of my cheapo loot! Coming up next is my Lowyat.net haul. :D

Of presents and empty wallets.

So my birthday is in two days time! :DHad a very scrumptuous Japanese food dinner with my parents last Saturday to celebrate my birthday earlier. Dad bought me a miny sponge cheesecake from Four Seasons rather tha nthose eat-until-sien Secret Recipe cakes. No offense! :P I do love their cakes but sometimes it's nice to have a little change.

No pictures cause dad brought the camera along on his business trip. Will upload them after he comes back!

Not only that! He also bought me the most-rave-about Instax Mini 7s Polaroid camera from Fujifilm!
:D

It comes in a plastic container like this. But before that i did browse through Google and found out some do come in a paper box like this:

*Picture credits to 223ayu.blogspot.com

Dad said he bought it at a camera fair in Hong Kong from a Fujifilm booth... So oh well, guess it comes in 2 different packaging. (Though i would prefer the paper box one! <<Oh shut up!)

I initially wanted the white + blue one cause blue was my favorite color. :o

*Picture credits to hotfrog.com.my

But it was out of stock then and they were having a promotion and the only ones left were the pure white one, the brown one (ugliest imo. :P) and the white + pink one. So dad chose the pure white one over everything else. At first i was a little disappointed but now, the more i look at the pure white one, the more i love it! *w*

It came with a free camera strap, a packet of film and some manuals writen in 100000 languages LOL!

And finally a picture of my new toy! <3

Ahhhh she's so pretty! :D

Have never used in yet though. Can't seem to find the perfect moment for it. Will prolly use it at an ACG event. And maybe during prom or graduation. Ohh, how time flies! :'C
I might be getting some other stuff for my Instax too! Like a leather pouch, the rainbow colored film (So colorful! Will definitely get one!), and maybe a photo album. Goodbye money! D:

Anyways, recently, i've been browsing through Lowyat Forums a lot and found out that there are actually some pretty good deals on make up there! At the 'Stuff For Ladies' section. Have spent about RM100 of my Ang Pau money on down priced make up there! Good thing is, some items are used only a few times (and sterilised) and some even brand new! And the prices are crazily low.

Imagine this, i got my self a BRAND NEW Shu Uemura Instant Glow Make Up base for...

RM20. OAO

Well it's the 10ml one. The retail price for the 50ml one is around RM161.80 (via SASA) so i consider this as a really good buy! Also bought a second hand Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Milky Lips lipstick for RM30. The previous owner has only swatched it once on her arm and never used it since then.

Oh yes, there are a few more but i'll only break the surprise when all the stuff arrives. :D
Sighs! It's true they say that Tauruses are 'thrifty and keeps a budget'. Which indirectly pokes us as major cheapskates HAHAHA! But i do admit i'm a cheapskate lah! Cannot help it! :P

And yesterday, i went to Watsons and saw that Silkygirl has released their new range of lip gloss! Instantly fell in love with them as the colors are so soft, nude and dollyyyyy! Tested them and swore to come back and get them soon. xD saves me money from buying the ever-expensive Candy Doll ones ohohoho! << Cheapskate syndrome.
