Clarins Power to Try Workshop

Posted by IcedNyior on August 24, 2009  |  1 Comment

First of all, thanks so much to Clarins and Miu of Plusizekitten for organizing this workshop. It was held at Amoda near Bukit Bintang. Well I misread the map that Miu posted, thinking that the red building is Amoda but apparently its the other side. So I was a bit late. Heh, sorry!

*pics are all courtesy of Miu. I didn’t bring a camera. Yea i know, what kinda blogger doesn’t bring a camera for events right? But my camera batt died on me :(*

Clarins headquarters is very inviting and so fresh. I really like how they took care of all the participants and even providing refreshments – chocolates, chrysanthemum tea, fruit tarts, tuna croissants, etc.

The workshop area is also very nice, slightly bigger would be better so that we can mingle around comfortably. Ample mirrors and product was provided to everyone. Some people came really prepared with no makeup and even hairbands to tie back their hair. Well it was my first time at a skincare workshop.

This was the box of products available for our use. First I used the Gentle Eye makeup remover to remove my makeup. Then I used the Cleansing Milk with Alpine Herbs (for Normal/Dry Skin). Did you know there’s a proper way to wash your face? And that is from the middle of your forehead and ur nose outwards to your cheeks and chin. Clarins also taught us how to use our palms to create a ‘suction’ affect to help draw out the impurities.

Stila Cosmetics Haul

Posted by IcedNyior on April 22, 2009  |  4 Comments

As many girls know, Stila closed its counters in Malaysia (and other international sites) preferring instead to sell in the US only.

The best part? They had a clearance sale of all their cosmetics and merchandise ranging from 50% – 70%! Awesome. This was a chance for me to finally pick up some stila makeup (because they are a bit out of my price range :().

Anyway, this was my haul

• Stila mug
• Get The Look palette (I think its Look #2, cant rmbr) – 3 eyeshadows in Lame, Oasis & Coin) + 1 Cheek color in Tint + 1 It Gloss Lip Shimmer in Enchanting
• Stila Step Out & Shine Holiday 2008 Collection – Silver Clutch with purple lining, Lip & Cheek Stain in Pomegranate, Stila Convertible Color in Orchid, Stila All Over Shimmer Luminize, Stila Multi-Effect Mascara Black, Montmartre Eyeshadow Quad Palette
• Stila Lip Glaze in.err i forgot, but its a brownish colour with speckles of glitter (I’ll update it later)

Total Damage : RM260 *sweat*

Yes, i know I spent a lot, but considering that the Lip Glaze is normally sold at rm90 was only RM45, I got tempted. Hehehe! Oh yea, i bumped into Miu at the Stila counter in Gardens

Now have to makan megi till end of the month (or write more posts)

Online Shopping

Posted by IcedNyior on September 26, 2008  |  No Comments

Lately I’ve got some people asking me about how I do my online shopping. Well there are three ways I generally do it:

1) Buy from auction sites such as eBay or Lelong

2) Buy from forums like Lowyat.net or MalaysianBabes.com

3) Buy from websites overseas

I notice there is still that worry among the ppl about getting cheated. Something like “how if I pay and I never get the item?” Well ladies and gents, there are certain policies that ensure you will have a safe and secure transaction. For eBay there’s a point system and for forums there’s a tradelist of some sort to show the previous transactions.

Personally I like buying online because its so very convinient. Transfer the money via online banking or Paypal and just wait for the item to arrive. Plus, some websites even have discounts and promotions. Sometimes you can even use promo codes to get a better deal.

Ah..everything at our fingertips.

Made for Walking

Posted by IcedNyior on August 23, 2008  |  1 Comment

Remember these? Well, maybe not. I tried it on once upon a time and thought it looked nice. For a while I contemplated to buy it. For a while I contemplated to let you buy it for me. I vaguely remember explaining the differences between wedges and heels to you. But then I thought, “nah, it was a size too small for me. plus many other opportunities for you to buy me shoes in the future.” Or so I thought.

Fast forward a few months later, same pair of shoes. Same dilemma, with an added dash of memories (which I honestly totally forgot about). Which also brought many questions – how are you? do you think of me? should I even think of you? Why cant we be friends? – that crowded my head. Decisions, decisions.

Needless to say, I bought it.

Why?

Because it was *the* perfect size.

Because life is falling in place for me now. Because I graduated – when I had made preparations in anticipation that i would fail. Because at the point that I was worried I was unqualified to work in my field, a HUGE door of opportunity opened for me. Because I met new people, made new friends.

Because I am now…………..HAPPY :)

On a totally related note, I bought these gorgeous pumps from Neo @ Ikano which sells big size shoes – even size 12 – at reasonable prices (I bought mine for RM70 and it looks like leather shoes quality). Then i went to One Utama and bought these red heels frm vincci for RM35. Original price is RM109 then they had a 70% discount. How could I resist?

Cute Rubber Stamps

Posted by IcedNyior on August 1, 2008  |  1 Comment

Remember those cute little rubber stamps? When I was younger I loved this so much! I insisted that my parents bought me this everytime we went to the kedai runcit (sundry shop). Its twelve square and cyclindrical sticks with various types of expressions and designs with a stamp at the end of the stick. It also comes with a small rectangle of notepad and an even smaller square of ink pad. I think I drove my parents crazying trying to mark every single paper with those stamps. Luckily for some reason I didn’t stamp our whole walls. Haha! Its hard to resist white walls and stamp in brightly colored smileys in red, yellow or green.

Then there was those times that I paid a visit to my dad’s office and he had all those rubber stamps with “Urgent”, “Paid”, “Priority”, “Approved”, “From the desk of.” all in different-different colours. Ah, those were the days. Now you can order your own pre-designed Rubber Stamps. Even with funny phases like, “WTF!?!”, “Who Cares?” and “Blah, blah, blah.” You can also use the coupon code Stamps50 for a discount of 50% on Small Rubber Stamps. Nice eh?

I think I wana get one saying “Approved by http://me.zestful.org”
