February Salary Monthly Treat

I just got my paycheck today, hooray!! One of my bestie said to me that we better rewards our self first before using our monthly salary for other things because it might ended up we don't have any left at the end of the day. This is to avoid feeling discontented, stress accumulation and hate towards our job! which will lead to our brain deducing we are no different from a slave. 

Which is why, I will be posting monthly treat every month right after I got my paycheck! I'll pick at least two items, of course I'll buy something that I really want not just for the sake of buying it. Whatever the item is, the price is not important, expensive or not, as long as I'm satisfied with it, I'll be one happy girl :D

So, this month paycheck, here are my haul :D


L'Occitane:
1) Immortelle Milk Make Up Remover, 200ml @rm99

The s/a applied this makeup remover on my hand and I like the smells of it, it's a flower scents.

sample size products

The s/a gave me two products sample size, Fabulous Serum and Ultra-Matte Face Fluid. I'm not sure what are these for, she did explained it to me but I forgot =__=


The Body Shop:
2) Stawberry Body Polish, 200ml @rm29.70 (after member 10% discount)

I got this the first time for my engagement day gift. I really like the scents and also the scrubbing effect on my skin. It left my skin smooth and fresh.


3) Big Nail Shiner, @rm9.81 (after member 10% discount)

For my nails :)



Sa Sa:
4) Sa Sa Mask Sheet, @rm4.90
5) Tippys Cotton Pads, @rm17.90

I will have to learn how to DIY mask (MP: DIY Cotton Mask).

I love this cotton pads. I use this to wipe my eye makeup remover, it is really strong. I might be using this cotton pads for a DIY eye masks also (MP: DIY Ice Cucumber Pads).

In Search of Eye Makeup (Waterproof Mascara) Remover

My mission was to buy waterproof mascara remover. 

I was planning to get the Holika Holika product because I did buy their Magic Pole Mascara, which was a pain in the a** to remove it. 

I also bought Yves Rocher brands and see if it can remove Holika Holika waterproof mascara, the price is quite cheap considering it's a France product.

Waterproof mascara remover!

1) Yves Rocher: Express Cleanser for sensitive eyes with Cornflower, @rm23.20 (after 29% dis)

Express Cleanser for sensitive eyes with Cornflower, 125ml

2) Holika Holika: Perfect Off Mascara Remover @rm19.55 (after 10% member dis)

Perfect Off Mascara Remover @rm21.70

I'm not sure which one will work the best, I'll try to see if both can remove waterproof mascara. I'm sceptical to use the Holika Holika mascara remover because of the ingredients, they don't have english translation on the bottle.

3) The Body Shop: Aloe Calming Facial Cleanser @rm35.90 (10% member dis)

Aloe Calming Facial Cleanser, 200ml @rm39.90

Eventually, my face also need a clean up. I wanted to try The Body Shop facial cleanser for my face cleanser. 

4) Tony Moly: Milky Tint in Pink @rm37.62 (10% dis)

Milky Tint Pink @rm41.80

Before leaving Suria Sabah, I managed to get my hands on Tony Moly tinted gloss :D This was their last day of 10% sale.

Haul: The Body Shop 2

I think The Body Shop has succeeded in hypnotizing me into coming again and again into their shop, hurm...

They have this section where for one item it's 30% less and if you bought four items it's 60% less!! I was thinking twice whether to buy it or not because most of the item in the section is manufactured in 2009 and 2010, making them quite an old or 'expired' item maybe.. I'm not sure how many years for a product to be classified as 'safe for usage' from it's manufactured date. I have heard before that all lipstick and eye product are advisable to use within one year after opening the item. I've also heard that it will be safe to use makeup product within three years from it's manufactured date.

Mineral Foundation SPF25 02 @rm33.20 (after 60% discount)

MMF Star Dusk 01 & 02 @ rm14 each (after 60% discount)

MMF Sparkle Roller Ball @rm16.80 (after 60% discount)

The items that I chose are pretty much safe I think even if it's already pass three years (emmm...)

Tea Tree Blotting Tissue @rm10.96 (after 15% discount)

Eye Mask Large 2007 @rm25.41 (after 15% discount)

Apart from the 60% discount items, I bought two other product, the eye mask and Tea Tree Oil Blotter Paper. I feel like rich people using the blotter paper, hehehe... because I only use oil blotter paper from guardian.

Haul: The Body Shop

Okay, I can't forget the Shimmer Cubes by The Body Shop, the colour are fantastic. I tried the Shimmer Cubes palette 22 and it lasts all day long. I have to get the other colours, at least another Shimmer Cubes? :D 

Shimmer Cubes Palettes 23 @rm79.90

The colours are:-

01 Shade: Orchid Purple                    
02 Shade: Candy Pink
03 Shade: Pearly White
04 Shade: Velvet Plum

But it turns out I need more than just the Shimmer Cubes :)

MMF Face & Body brush @rm68

MMF Lip and Cheek Stain 01 Rose Pink @rm39

I always wanted to try using lip stain and I'm so happy The Body Shop finally got it in their range. I was waiting for MAC to have this lip stain but they still don't have it here.

MMF Lip Liner 02 Beech 2008 @rm29.90

Every girl need a nude lip liner, yes? no? ^^

MMF Brow & Lash Gel 01 Clear 2009 @39

I'm not sure how to use this and what effect will it bring. This is perfect when I don't want to use mascara but I still want my eyelash to stay in shape after I curl it, the gel helps the eyelash stay in shape :) also you can use it on the eyebrows, especially if you have bushy eyebrows.

MMF Eye Definer 11 Vibrant Emerald 2009 @rm35

To match my dress colour, I'm going to use it during Christmas :)

MMF Atomiser Sparkler 01 B/Pink 2011 @rm89

I have fallen in love with this one. This is my very first sparkler spray :D It's in pink some more!~

Mirror Compact Jewel @36.90

I know why I bought this... because it's cute!! :D

There are two type of mirrors, the plane mirror (simple the straight up mirror) and the curved-convex mirror (err I think).

Phew.. I love all the products that I bought last weekend. I really love holiday and shopping, wee...

Makeup Bag & Accesories

 Finally, I have my own makeup bag! :DDDD

e-Noveal, CP @rm110 ^^

Ta-da!

What I love about this makeup bag is it has three tier trays! I already filled it with my humble collection of makeup, hehe. I'll definitely bring my makeup bag back to my hometown next week, just to show off, lol!

I didn't plan to buy anything big or spend over 100 today, my plan was only to buy sandals for my mum and sis. What intrigue me to buy this makeup bag? Here's how it goes.

My car need servicing so I went out today as early as 6am to my car service centre. Everything settled around 10am and I remember that I need to buy sandals for my mum and sis. My first shopping stop was City Mall, e-Noveal where I bought mr.tweezerman, the eyebrow shaper and hair clips.

e-Noveal, City Mall : Tweezerman, eyebrow shaper and hair clips, all items @rm10++

Then, I went to Elianto to buy their kabuki brush but too bad they don't have stock right now. Before walking out from there, I managed to grab these three! I picked lustre shadow, ardour shadow and sheen shadow. The thing is, I didn't buy their makeup palette case. The makeup packaging is just a normal plastic material which is not good. I probably am going there again tomorrow to get the palette case, if I remember correctly, they have 4 palette case and 12 palette case.

Elianto makeup: Lustre Shadow rm10, Ardour Shadow rm10, Sheen Shadow rm19

Up close - the packaging is just a normal plastic material type

• Lustre shadow (white) - creamy velvety texture, pearly shine finish
• Ardour shadow (green) - soft and smooth texture, matte finish
• Sheen shadow (green) - smooth, velvety texture, pearly shine

I purposely chose two green to match my Christmas dress colour :) I don't know which one will be good, but one is matte finish and the other is shimmer. I can't resist the pearly white because I thought the colour is beautiful and I can use it with other colours.

My next stop is unplanned, but it's been a while since I went to The Body Shop. They have a few Christmas makeup palettes but I'm not interested, but as soon as I saw this.. I know I have to get this colour. One of the green is almost the same with my dress colour.

The Body Shop, Shimmer Cubes Palette 22 @rm79

01 Shade: Pure Turquoise
02 Shade: Mint Green
03 Shade: Silver Grey
04 Shade: Forest Green

Awww.... cutenessss

And look at these!! ooo mmm gee... it's cute!!! I didn't know each of them has their own little boxes. I'm thinking to get the others, oh my... please help me. Well, at least the purple or pink one.. or maybe blue.. hehehe

When I have all these tiny tiny things in my hand, I was thinking.. I wish I have makeup bag to carry all my makeup collection in one go when I go back hometown next week. Looking around, there was no makeup bag that I like, so I left City Mall and went to CP. The rest is history.

p/s: oh, just want to tell you that I have indeed received my salary for this month. fufufufu..

Eye & Lip Application

1) Comb Lash (no brand)

2) Comb Brow & Lash from The Body Shop

I bought this Comb Brow & Lash (rm26) at Body Shop. The brush is too hard and I don't like it at all. It's not worth the money. I want my money back :( .... The comb lash (no brand) as you can see in the same picture is way better than the Body Shop. It comes together with the lip brush (no brand).

The Retractable Lip Brush from TheFaceShop

The Retractable lip brush is quite good. TheFaceShop sells it at rm19.90. I haven't gotten around to use this lip brush as I like to use my lip brush (no brand) that I bought at Shenzhen last year. But, this is very useful especially when I'm travelling because packing will be much easier and I won't worry the brush will gets dirty or ruin.

Lip Brush (no brand)

Makeup application doesn't necessary to be expensive to be good. Sometimes, the no brand does the wonder compare to the high end product.
