Anya Hindmarch Autumn Winter Collection 2010

Posted by IcedNyior on November 10, 2010  |  2 Comments

I got invited to Anya Hindmarch Tea Party by April who got it from Erin. Headed down to KLCC Sat Morning after waking up late because I didn’t set my alarm. Hehe sorry April!

Got there around 12.30pm (awesomely got from Damansara to KLCC in less than 30 mins) was greeted by friendly Sales Assistants at Anya Hindmarch KLCC. Was greeted by this awesome display of cakes and desserts below.

Red velvet cakes, dainty fruit tarts, truffle and macarons, all were gorgeously presented in such a pretty way (note the flowers at the back). I was so amazed at how they managed to fit 4 tables & chairs, the middle table for the food and a side table for drinks – coffee, tea and sparkling white wine (I believe).

And in the midst of all this, we were treated to a preview of the 2010 Autumn Winter Collection. Rows and rows of bags along all the walls tempting in their unique yet classic designs and colours.

Worthy Book Reviews – Vouchers and Free Stuff!

Posted by IcedNyior on October 11, 2010  |  3 Comments

Thanks to Tocky and the good people at Worthy Media, I was given a copy of this book

WHAT IS IT?

Worthy Book is a revolutionary KL consumer lifestyle mini directory guide for Dining, Entertainment, Retail and Services. Selling at only RM 35 per copy, Worthy Book offers more than RM18,000 worth of special discounts, free samplings and attractive values to over 100 top brands in Malaysia for you family, friends and loved ones!

In addition, Worthy Book believes in giving back to the society, so you will be pleased to know that RM 2 from each copy of the Worthy Book sold will be donated to the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), Malaysia.

I must admit that I was a bit skeptical on how “Worthy” this book really was. But when I looked at their site and saw that most of the brands were places that I actually did go to (or at least am planning to go), I thought that it could be a pretty good deal after all.

The Body Shop Malaysia 2010 Sale + price list

Posted by IcedNyior on May 21, 2010  |  8 Comments

Yes ladies! Its here! Woot! From 21 May to 13 June 2010, all the West Malaysia outlets are on sale (refer here). Not sure about Sabah or Sarawak though. I first found out about it from the shoppingnsales site and later got a list of the items on sales from Miu.

Besides the items mentioned above, there are some Sets (eg, 3 x mini body lotion in nice bamboo/woody box) on sale for 50% or less. I popped by TBS outlet in Bangsar Shopping Center (while dragging my colleague along) and got my Body Shop Fix.

My Haul

Pomegranate Body Polish (200ml)

• Retail price : RM38.00
• Discount : 70%
• Price after discount + 10% members = RM 10.26

Body & Shower Gel – Peach & Raspberry (250ml)

• Retail Price: RM24.90
• Discount : 50%
• Price after discount + 10% members = RM 11.20

Body & Shower Gel – Cassis Rose (250ml)

• Retail Price: RM29.90
• Discount : 50%
• Price after discount + 10% members = RM 13.45

Body Puree Wild Cherry (forgot the volume)

• Retail Price: RM45.00
• Discount : 50%
• Price after discount + 10% members = RM 20.25

Pressed Face Powder – 04 (not in pic)

• Retail Price: RM63
• Discount : 10%
• Price after discount + 10% members = RM 51.03

I bought a total of 8 + 1 (for colleague) items amounting to RM150+. Some other Items that I remember:

• Body puree raspberry – 50%
• Body & Shower Gel (400ml) Pink Grapefruit – 50% = RM22+ or so
• Mandarin Orange Shower Gel + Body Lotion set – 70% i think
• Bath lily, scrub = 10%
• Soaps – 10%
• EVERYTHING in the store is on sale, at least 5%
• These makeup items pictured are 30%-50% off. Lip glosses, the multi blush, etc. Other makeup items all 10% off
  

The sale will be until 13 June and applicable for everyone.
Members Special : On 21-23 May, all members get 10% off already discounted prices.

Note that the member’s special is calculated like this:

If the item RP is RM10 the discount is 50%,
The price will be RM 5 minus 10% member discount
TOTAL= RM 4.50

Not a total of 60% discount on the item. Remember this, because I did some miscalculation in the beginning. Also a tip, choose an outlet that is less crowded. I remember how packed it was at the Midvalley outlet during the last sale. I swear it was madness.

So tell about your haul :D

——————-

Decided to update with more price lists from readers :)

• tea tree cover stick for RM16 (50% off) and pomegranate body spray for RM10 (70% off) – chloe
• Tea Tree Facial Scrub = RM20 – @junw3n

Big Bad Wolf Book Sale at Amcorp Mall

Posted by IcedNyior on November 27, 2009  |  3 Comments

The book sale of the year was back. The Big Bad Wolf store was having yet another massive book sale. I’ve heard really good things about the book sale early this year and so I was determined to come to this one. It was at Amcorp Mall – 3rd floor (where the cinema previously was).

Planned to go on Friday evening but I couldn’t get away early so decided to go this morning. Was hoping that it being a public holiday, most people would have balik kampung or be at the mosque. Heard “horror” stories about how packed it was on Friday so Sat morning was my best bet.

Money’s not good enough for myNews Bangsar

Posted by IcedNyior on October 30, 2009  |  2 Comments

I work somewhere nearby the Bangsar LRT and usually eat around that area. I needed to withdraw money so I took the escalator upstairs with a colleague to the Bangsar LRT because there’s a Maybank ATM. I owed her some money so I need to break my RM50s I just withdrew.

So around 3.30pm, I went to the myNews kiosk to buy something to break the note. The cashier was a male of mixed descent who was holding a bunch of notes in his hand. I’m not too sure but maybe he was sorting money in the till.

I picked a roll of mentos berry and gave to the cashier. He punched it in and it came up to RM1.50 and I took out my RM50. He looked and the note and made an annoyed face, clearly displeased with the amount of the note. I said “I need the change” and he said “Satu lima” with the same displeased face and refused to even take my note.

I was disgusted and appalled by his behaviour so I said “tak apa!” and my colleauge and I instantly walked out of the shop. So I walked to the 7-Eleven located downstairs.

I bought a Mentos Berry & Twister Apple which totaled up to RM 3.20 and gave my RM50 note & 20 cents to the cashier. It was also a male cashier. He didn’t have sufficient amount in the till to give me my change so he reached under the counter and took out a new roll of RM10s and gave me my change.

I came back into the office and tweet-ed about it and surprisingly, two of my twitter friends had the same experience. (click to see the direct tweets)

Apparently the service in myNews Bangsar LRT is lousy and I doubt I would be going there again.

Edit : I have sent an email to the email address located on their site to complain about this matter. We’ll see the response

My first pair of Crocs – Cabana

Posted by IcedNyior on September 21, 2009  |  1 Comment

Woot! Just bought my first pair of Crocs. No, not those cheese hole slippers, but the Cabana. I first saw it online and I’ve been looking for it in Crocs 1 Utama and IOI Mall but somehow they didn’t have this model. I finally saw it at Parkson 1 Utama :D and grabbed a pair today.

The CrocsT Cabana, combining the comfort of our Wake flip flop and the style of our wedges. The Cabana is the perfect wedge sandal, with ridged footbeds for comfort and a satin coated PU strap for a comfortable fit. If you are looking for a unique sandal, the Cabana wedge is the perfect fit.

.innovative crocs wedge inspired by a traditional summer thong
.wedge is sculpted for a sleeker overall look
.footbed has flex inspired cushioning for exaggerated comfort
.thong upper is made up in satin coated PU
.fun color pop at toe post
.approximate heel height is 3 inches

Its super comfy tho kinda pricy. Oh well, lets hope that this doesn’t putus as easily as my other slippers/sandals.
