First Shopping Haul Post in 2013! Happy New Year!!!
9:59:00 PM
Hi everybody!
Happy New Year!!! How’s 2013 treating you so far?? I’ve just
arrived in Surabaya (literally a few minutes ago!) after a twelve hours long
car ride and guess what’s the very first thing I did when I walked into my
room? I switched my lappie on to blog. LOL. I miss blogging so much! I hope you
guys miss us too, LOL! Anyway, like I said before, my haul posts’ is now
officially a weekly post!
Here it is!
Look at the pretty paper bag... making me miss Christmas already. LOL |
So… by reading the title of the post you know I’ve done it
again… Like I suspected before, I cannot stop myself from going back to The
Body Shop and bought a ton of other things *oh no..* and even worse… I actually
went to TBS again today (the day I am writing this entry-a few weeks ago now) and shopped some more *OMG
I cannot stop!!!*.. seriously, I need to stay the HELL away from TBS during
promotion season HIKHIKHIK… this time it’s the worst though, three times in one
month T.T…
I console myself by saying (I said this to G today actually)
that I don’t shop at TBS during the non-promotion season, so maybe I shopped
like once or twice in a year (and stock up a mountain) and never went within a
foot near any TBS outlet *another exaggeration you should be familiar with by
now* so it should be OKAY! *yes yes, keep on telling yourself that #Pink,
whatever makes you happy*.
Okay okay, enough self-assuring, moving on to the goodies
*rubs palms excitedly* :
This method is a bit embarrassing because you will have to
go round and round the little store, especially if the store (in some malls)
are a bit smaller than the others and when it is not very crowded because as
usual, the overly eager SAs will keep on tailing you no matter how many rounds
you made around that shower gel display FTL. But I do not care LOL, why should
i? In the end I always bought quite a load of their stuffs anyway, I do wish
the SAs would BACK OFF a bit though. Why is it so hard for them to understand
that it is uncomfortable to be pestered constantly when all you want to do is
to browse in peace? OMG, I am getting a little annoyed again thinking about
this LOL.
And why did I say it was a bit harder to shop this time?
Because they packed most of their shower gels and body lotions (my fave buys
there) into Christmas packages! It was really hard to find an IDR 129.000 (there
are plenty of IDR 119.000 or 109.000 items somehow…) items but it was even
harder looking for IDR 89.000 items! OMG! The ones that are exactly IDR 89.000
are also packed as a Christmas package or as they said “no stocks at the
moment”, I am pretty convinced they hid them *grumpy*. But anyway! I managed!
Now time to explain one by one what I’ve got :D!
Japanese Cherry Blossom body lotion (loveeee the smell!),
this item is IDR 139.000. In the middle is Cranberry Joy Body Butter IDR
189.000 (for hubby, I probably would use it on my legs) and the last one is
Seaweed Facial Wash for FREE (real price : IDR 89.000).
On the right is one of the lip balms I said I really wanted
(there are three variants, the other two I will definitely get soon!!!), Born
Lippy Lychee also totally FREE (real price
: IDR 69.000). The one on the left is the additional item I needed to
reach the minimum amount to get the voucher. I was a bit confused and flustered
when I couldn’t find a thing cheap enough, and then I remember their special
edition Lily Cole collection lip gloss that I tried before and really loved, so
I grabbed it! It is called Hi Shine Mini Treatment, it is originally priced at
IDR 49.000 but the cashier was so nice (I was assisted by a very nice SA and a
very nice cashier as well on this visit, unlike the third visit, the cashier
was so annoying, so not third time a charm but second time a charm third time
more like crap) she separated the bill so I could get the 15% discount as well
(final price IDR 41.650). Like the name, this lipgloss is tiny (it’s a mini! I
LOVE minis! Not only they are super cute but i can also never finish big tubes of glosses!), super glossy (LOVE glossy lips, the glossier the better LOL) and
very moisturizing too so this is a real steal!
Any of you bought TBS Lily Cole items? I found the packaging
to be totally drop-dead-gorgeous (Pink.. what else can I say?) not to mention
expensive looking (well, they ARE kinda expensive) and I saw some real drool
worthy items. But I find TBS’ make up prices are a bit outrageous, so I stopped
myself. I might use one of my voucher to get something from this line, but
we’ll see.
The total damage was IDR 369.650, I got five items and an
IDR 100.000 voucher, totally worth it!! I have IDR 300.000 worth of voucher so
far LOL, I will use it on January (NOW! SOON!). I got two from buying more than
IDR 350.000 and another one (actually two, each worth IDR 50.000) from exchanging
my points (trade in your used TBS
bottles for points! Help them recycle!), they are usually exchanging 50 or so
point with one voucher (if I’m not mistaken, I forgot) but during the promotion
season you get a voucher with only 25 points! Saw it from the back of their
booklet and immediately made a mental note to exchange them! Always look out
for double points or less points exchanges!
Wanted to show you more stuffs but I wrote longer than I
wanted about TBS already, I should stop before turning this into a super long
entry again, the other stuffs I show you on the next post okay!
Happy New Year 2013 from my little family :) |
