Pink and Undecided: bling

Shopping Queen is Back!

But then again she never really left, did she? LOL.

How was your weekend? Mine was pretty nice even though i felt (and still do) a bit like a zombie (tired and a bit sleepy all the time, this also explained why i went missing from this blog for the entire weekend-which is almost unheard of), but i still had lots of fun. Spent everyday in different malls since Friday *LOL* hence more shopping that prompted this title :p. At least i didn't shop at all in Sunday, went to watch Wolf of Wall Street with #Undecided (and our hubbies) instead. It was good, funny in the most ridiculous (a bit crazy really) way. I think we enjoyed it more than our hubbies. Plus the jokes were not always the most obviously funny ones, you know clever lines and all? #Undecided and i laughed like two maniacs... to a very quiet (and seemingly confused) cinema. The jokes kinda got lost in translation, so i'd advise you to skip the translation and LISTEN to the dialogue instead, it'd be 1000x funnier.

Anyway, this is actually another haul post (i'm sure you didn't expect anything else from that title), but i seem to go through the phase of being too lazy to do my weekly haul and post my old hauls (which are severely long overdue) AGAIN, and skip to a newer haul (but being an OCD that i am, i'm pretty sure i'd still cover those old hauls anyway, just not sometime soon *LOL*) altogether. But there's a little story behind this time's haul...

I actually went out with my cousin L on one of our usual girly day out (it's been postponed quite a few times, since December actually. It's nothing new when you're dealing with L of course, i didn't even believe that we were really going to go before she BBM-ed me telling me that she's picking me up in about an hour, that's when i began to get ready), haven't been hanging out with her a lot lately so i kinda missed her. As usual, when i go shopping with her... I kinda ended up with more of the "branded" items *sigh* (because in Indonesia high street brands are considered "branded" if you know what i mean...

Some beauty boxes also arrived that day so i ended up with even more stuffs. I just chucked everything together for this pic but will do unboxing entries separately.

Actually L's main goal for this shopping date was to find outfits for his hubby for their little's son's upcoming birthday party which has a pretty cute theme (she's even having a themed-dress tailored, which is pretty suprising because we're talking about boyish L here-she also meant to look for shoes to fit this dress), but again as usual she managed to not get anything from her list and bought totally unrelated stuffs altogether (like clothes for herself *LOL*).

First we went to Next to look for stuffs for her hubby (and apparently a loose sleeveless top for herself, which we found hundreds of that day but nothing suits her taste, typical) but she left with nothing and i did with something *double sigh*

This crazy cute bear beanie! It was IDR 157.000 something after double discount (it was on sale already but i got even more discount for using HSBC credit card)

Now, i mentioned this plenty of times-i am NOT a hat person. Most hats look ridiculous on me and i only had two hats (one that i wore to SG/JB last May/June and another beanie that i bought in Amsterdam to wear on the snowy mountain of Switzerland!), but weirdly the crazier designed (mostly cartoon type. Or the ones with crazy pointy ears or whatever) suits me *ZZZ*. I showed this hat to Rosemary and she said she didn't know if she should laugh or what *LOL*. #Undecided and G thinks it's super cute though (i do too obvi) and i think i should be able to pull it off in Hong Kong (with their crazy fashionable people and all) *off in about two weeks, excited!!!!*

Then we also went to Zara (used to frequent Mango more but their prices seems to switch and now Mango became crazy expensive even on sales-totally weird because most of their clothes are now made in INDONESIA!-Zara's sale are becoming more and more affordable) and i... Unexpectedly (but unsurprisingly) got some stuffs...

This super thick knitted cardi. They were having crazy sales on their thick jumpers/cardis, but most of them were a bit furry and i HATE those type (always gets in my eyes and mouth because they shed like bunnies. Well, do bunnies shed though?) but i was kinda determined to find something thick (because i don't own enough, i even had to borrow coats from my sister on for my European tour) since we seem to travel to colder countries more now. This one was so pretty when worn i couldn't NOT get it. Plus the original price was IDR 799.000 and i got it for IDR 269.900. A total steal or what?

And a super slouchy, roomy (so oversized even this S size totally engulfed me), comfortable and CUTE long sleeved tee. For IDR 129.900 i didn't think too much about getting it

I stopped myself after getting two (even though i could get at least 10 more if let myself, of course), L got herself a very cool blue Burberry-patterned chiffon jumper. Sometime after coffee (and L *who's currently having a sorethoat-which she claimed to be her first EVER her whole life. How could anyone never get a sorethroat for her entire 30 years??? I mean... I get it every few months at least* had late lunch mixed with a great dose of moaning and whimpering) i remembered G's info about Bling's sale!

They have sections that went for IDR 19.900 each (normal price up to IDR 109.000 or so, madness!)

I got them all for IDR 19.900/each, a total steal!

Huge owls earrings

And swallow ones. Clearly the theme for my earrings shopping was birds...

1 statement ring

And a daintier, star shaped one :D

I also finally were able to pick up this red bag from Urban Outfitter (it's Fossil's) that i've been eyeing for a while but when i finally took the plunge (it was pretty pricey, IDR 2.050.000 but you can pay it in installment, which made it justifiable for me :p) it was sold out in the stores (the red ones, which is the most striking one. The blue and orange ones were still available) but the employee in TP (the ones in GM just said "We don't have it" and ignore us immediately) actually went and look for it in their online store, found one in stock at their warehouse and ordered it for us. I waited for a VERY long time since their first promised arrival date (the date was pushed back a few times afterward) for various reason, the latest one being their warehouse was flooded in Jakarta (which is a very legit reason, but if they ordered it immediately after i gave them the down-payment, Jakarta wouldn't even be flooded yet!) zzzz. But alas, it's finally here and it's well before Chinese New Year (when i have every intention of wearing it).

My mum pays for this btw :p

And here's my OOTD for that girly day out, i am going through a casual-but-still-girly outfits now (which CW called "my sleeping wear phase" i guess). I actually bought a huge bulks of these clothes a few years ago (but never worn them yet, obvi) because i love them so much (and they were so cheap, so so so cheap zzz) but i kinda forgotten about them in my massive "brand new clothes" cupboards and only been wearing them pretty much non-stop lately.

My new uniform : Super loose top (they always ended up being very off shoulder somehow, that means i'm very slopey right?) with casual mini skirt

Loose Top : Cotton On (it was SGD 2 or so, and it was when SGD was so much cheaper, so it was like IDR 14.000 WTF. I got it in every color, i have like...6). Striped Army Green Skirt : Cotton On (also crazy cheap. Maybe like, SGD 3)

I love pockety skirts. I have another one in orange :p

Easy and casual enough for a shopping day. Can be taken off in a flash so i wasn't annoyed when i had to try things on..

OH! I also want to update you about Lola Box (precisely about their January Box)! After posting the unboxing review of their January Box, Lola Box sent me this e-mail with subject : Apology letter.

Dear Mindy,

Thank you for the review of the January Lolabox. We are very sorry that you have received two items in previous boxes already and it was not supposed to happen. We checked our system and you were assigned to a different box variation - it was a human mistake on our end and we sincerely wish to apologize. You will receive a small 'sorry-gift' from us in the next couple of days.

Again we really sorry for what happened and thank you for the support and loyalty up to this very moment.

Apologies,

Cynthia Chaerunnisa
Co-Founder

I find it to be very sweet and thoughtful that they went to all the trouble to explain that to me (i know most beauty boxes wouldn't even bother to), and i stood by my words that Lola Box has the best CS for local beauty boxes, they are always attentive, polite and makes me feel VALUED. This little package arrived last Friday :

They sent me (a full size) Elianto nail polish in S04

I'm pretty impressed (though they claimed that they made a mistake, they DID send me a box already and even though some of the products were repeated, they were still perfectly good stuffs-even if the box looked quite empty in general) and totally cemented my faith in them (at least in their CS hahaha).

Like i said, i decided to chuck my newest beauty hauls (the ones that i got more or less around the same time) here :

As you know from this haul, i suddenly had the urge to order Oriflame (out of nostalgia) and Sophie Martin stuffs. And ever since that, the BCs (who are G's colleagues. G's totally like my supplier, the non-profitted one hahaha) seems to target me *SIGH* and keep on shoving new catalogs my way (Big fish! Big Fish! Probably what they see me as now).

More stuffs from Sophie Martin

Celebration Eau de Parfum. I have absolutely no idea how this would've smell like but the packaging (and cheap price) was enough for me to say "Screw it!" and go for it anyway. I can always use it as a room spray if i'm not keen on the scent...

Party Girl body mist, also no idea how it'd smell like, completely sold by the shimmering body mist idea. LOL.

Got this for free (for purchasing the Party Girl body mist). Will come in handy since i alway seem to lose my hair ties..

Duo Phase Make Up Remover. Just because i always run out of them (so stocking is always a neccessity), and being a beauty blogger mess with your brain-whenever you see a product that you USE from brands you've never tried that particular product from-or maybe if a new variant's available-you just automatically want it.

And Oriflame of course

Pure Skin Hide & Treat. Because i am a sucker for foundi/concealer that promise you to keep acne at bay/would treat your acne so it'd be safe to wear without fearing it'd break you out. Oh, and it was on promotion

Pear & Nectarine Eye Gel. Because it sounds delicious (and on promo)

Power Shine Juicy Lip Gloss. Just throw in the words "Limited Edition" and "Special Price" in one sentence and you'd get me hooked. Got it in Peach Cocktail because i do not have enough orange-ish lip products (it's fast growing though)

I also ordered some stuffs from Kat2 *again* :

Yes, my second Blush By 3 because it was too-cheap-to-be-true. paid IDR 140.000 for this most online shops sell them at IDR 165.000 at least

Got it in Sweet Cheeks this time (SO PRETTY!!!!) and i will not stop until i have every variant. I was gonna order the eye shadow palette too but i'm gonna spread it out a little. That's my current manicure btw, painted my nails some metallic blue polish from Collection (of course review can be expected)

I also gave up and ordered one Peripera Love Fairy Tint Glow Stick because Kat got an "insider" (actually another beauty blogger who lives in Korea and got back to Indonesia for a holiday) so it was on a special price. Got it for IDR 96.000 when most online shops sells it at least 20.000 more expensive.

Got it in #1, it is so pretty i immediately regret buying only 1 *___*. Another thing crossed from this wishlist

The biggest box (Demalogica Overnight Skin Rescue set) was a free gift from Kat2, how very generous of her!

I also decided to use that Ishine voucher from VT again for the lipsticks last Saturday because Buy 1 Get 1 means one lippie was only IDR 37.500 (they retailed for IDR 75.000 each, just ignore the price tag that stated IDR 95.000, i dunno what's up with that) and it was too good of a deal to pass on. In the end i used almost every voucher in that book (see my previous haul here) save for the powder (not cheap enough) and eyeliner (have too much eyeliners already. And also not cheap enough)

Like i said earlier, i do not have enough orange-tinged lip products. With three new ones in this entry alone, i should probably slow down though

09 Rose Corail, a bright orange-red

And 03 Rose Carnation, orange-ish pink

Also visited Guardian (our must-visit store LOL, such aunty/uncle) because i needed to stock up on Sweet Dreams (insomnia gets better after our evening yoga sessions. Did we ever tell you we have an instructor over to #Undecided's place twice a week now? #Undecided's totally hilarious on every classes-she has too long limbs and a bit creaky hahahah. Anyway, some nights are still rough so i just want to be prepared if the stupid insomnia decided to strike at any time).

Hunny and i are smitten over these Orginal Source shower gels (newly available in Guardian, showed up sometime around this last month), we bought a few of the bigger sized ones (and because my haul posts are so random in terms of time frame now, i haven't even covered them *LOL*) earlier this month (i am such a weird OCD person, i wouldn't let him use them yet because i want him to use up the older stocks firsts, but he smuggled and tried them all out already and he loved them. I am not so happy about him de-virginate our no-longer-brand-new shower gels of course), and then hunny spotted these tiny sized ones and insisted on buying them "to bring to Hong Kong". Yeah right. We have like, 20 of these tiny travel sized shower gels waiting to be used. But how can i resist such cute (and yummy smelling) shower gel, only IDR 10.000 each (50ml)?

Definitely our new fave (a good thing that they are super affordable too), to-die-for smelling shower gel!

Original Source in British Strawberry Shower

and Original Source Black Mint Shower Hair & Body (for men. But i will give it a try too :p)

I will collect every single variant they have soon, it's a promise! LOL. Speaking of Guardian, they are having this Buy 1 Get 1 promotion on selected Silky Girl products, since i still do not have the grape and cherry variant of the Pop Soda Lip Jelly, i wanted to get them *naturally*. Unfortunately they have this *kinda stupid, frankly* policy that you have to buy the exact same variant. Now, who would buy two grape lip jellies??? Not me! Grrrr. I mean, i understand if you have to buy 2 of the same variants when it comes to like, medicine of whatever. But decorative make up products? It definitely doesn't work that way!

Anyway, i have a new obsession now when it comes to beauty! I've just recently (last Friday actually) got my hair re-touched (and 20 cm chopped off my hair. It's definitely not short but it's the shortest i've gotten in the past few years!) and am very blonde (not bleached blonde, mind you) right now. I've been having this hair color for years but only NOW i realize how starkingly BLACK my eyebrows are. I kinda freaked (out of nowhere), eyebrow pencils and powders doesn't work for them (because they are very thick and jet black) so i hope an eyebrow mascara will suffice! I've ordered them from Chic-Princessa, waiting for it to arrive now...I guess freaking out about how mis-matched my eyebrow and hair are is another "perk" of being a beauty blogger and reading too many beauty blogs... *i've been sighing a lot in this entry, so here's another one SIGH!*.

Chinese New Year's coming soon! I'm pretty excited *and feeling broke at the same time*!

Shop 'til You Drop!

aldo

Hellowww!!!

How's everybody doing? I've been too lazy to blog lately (thank God for bursts of creativity that happens once in a while that i always milked and force myself to hoard post after post whenever that appears! That's how i can still update new posts in this blog very regularly :D) zzzz, i have no idea what or who to blame. Lemme try, i'm blaming the weather (still too hot to handle zzzz), Plant VS Zombie 2 for finally being available in Android, and way too many distractions. Yes, i've been shopping like mad online and offline lately, hence the title *face palm*.

Usually i'd line my haul posts in order of when i purchased them, but this time i'm making a special post of a girlie day out with G (you can tell that i haven't had a full day shopping with my girls for a while now) when i shopped like a maniac! I've had too much fun not to share the nitty gritty with y'all! Oh, there'll be occasional complaints here and there (okay, A LOT. I am immensely dissatisfied with Surabaya's service standard nowadays! Lina told me "That's why it's best to shop online" and i couldn't agree more! This way we won't have to face snooty, stupid and unprofessional sales people at the mall-i'd say 3 out of 5 belongs to that category, it's THAT bad!) so you might think i didn't actually enjoyed myself, that's not true! I am capable of being pissed at times in one day and still thinks that i've had a perfect day *LOL*.

Me and my shopping buddy. LOL, that's how short G is without her heels! She's around 17 cm shorter than me :p

G was like, let's wear something simple so we can try out clothes easily! In most people's book that'd probably be a short+t-shirt, in mine that means a pretty sundress-because it's perpetually HOT in Surabaya!

White Off Shoulder Cotton Dress with Eyelets Details : N.Y.L.A, Purple bag : Bonia

Decided to "screw autumn shades" for now and went back to my (summery) gyaru, girly roots :p. Dunno if it's wise though, because dressing like this makes people thinks i'm way younger than i really am and that in turn, makes sales people treat me like i'm a poor kid who cannot afford their stuffs. Eff them.

Of course i had to deck myself in costume jewelry to avoid feeling bare hahaha. Ring, earrings and lace-detailed bangle all from Shine, white rabbit hair clip from Warna (in Jakarta, we have no Warna stores in Surabaya. Warna means color, btw), and round silver plate necklace with china pattern from an accessory brand from Australia in Sogo that i cannot remember the name...

Abandoning dark, vampy looks for my beloved girly colors

D'oh, my bangs are driving me insaneeee-ahhhh!

Pink and purple eye shadow, pinkish cheeks and pink lipstain (G gave me the Collection lip stain i coveted because she doesn't like lip stains. I will def review it!)

Here's what i got after shopping from AM to PM (left home around 11.30 AM and returned around 10 PM LOL). We went to TP (Tunjungan Plaza) until around 5 then continued to GM (Galaxy Mall) hehe.

Obviously i went a little nuts, as you can see

Before we really started to shop, we went to Kiehl's counter in Sogo first. Not because we wanted to buy something (Omo, Kiehl's stuffs are so expensive, i kinda choked when hunny asked the price of a deodorant and the BA said "275.000". LOL. And i thought IDR 99.000 TBS' one was excessive!) but because a few days ago i stumbled into some Indonesian beauty blog's (i honestly can't remember the name though) entry about this Vote and get free samples thingy : Feel The Power.

They're having a campaign where you can vote for your favorite design of Mr. Skeleton's (their icon) historic lab-coat, all four designed by well known Indonesian celebrities (or two out of four, at least) and public figures. By voting, not only you'd be eligible for a free consultation and trial sets (three sachets for every voter), you'd also help donate IDR 5.000 for SOS Children Village. Getting free samples and do someting good at one go? I'm in! (And because i'm kiasu i told some of my friends too hahaha. I made hunny and G vote so we could get the samples together) I wanted to vote for Arie Wibowo just because he's handsome, but then i snapped back and voted for Sigi Wimala because i really liked her design hehe.

The BA who attended to us was quite nice and very very professional. She answered every questions clearly and nicely, and she didn't push us to make ANY purchase. That's gotta be a very rare thing, yes? I really like that, i believe most people can relate-if we want to buy something, you do not need to push us. The more you push us, the chance of us buying anything at all would actually get smaller. I hate pushy SAs, but better pushy than downright bitchy i guess. More about that later.

Kiehl's counter (i've been there maybe once or twice before because MM's husband's friend worked there) was very nice, too bad they wouldn't let us take any pictures. They could've gotten a free advert here if they did! LOL. Their loss i guess.

Anyway, the "consultation" was actually the BA flipping out a "magic paper", a tiny round thingy and stick two of them on our faces, one in our forehead and one on our cheek. It'd tell you the skin condition that we each had. She told us that G's skin's normal to oily (hydration level a little low)-much to her surprise because she thought her skin's really dry, hunny's skin's normal (must be that Etude House Moistfull Collagen cream that i slather on his face every night, it really works!), and mine's normal to oily with very good hydration level (i totally thought my skin's super oily!) and gave us samples according to our skin's needs.

Three for hunny and three for me

Mine : Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser and Gel Cream

Hunny's Kiehl Ultra Facial Cleanser and Toner

She gave me an Amino Acid Shampoo for the third sample (much to G's jealousy...)

Kiehl Facial Fuel Transformer : Age Correcting Moisture Gel for Men (obvi this one's hunny's) because the BA noticed some fine lines on his forehead. Am i married to an uncle? LOL

The BA also didn't let us off so fast, she kept on making us fill in some forms "You might be the monthly (or was it weekly) winner! The prize's not bad at all!" LOL. Well, we had a lot of time and she was nice, so we did it anyway. I am a glass half empty kind of person so i don't think any of us would win, but that's okay *LOL*. Feel The Power voting's still open now, hurry and vote (don't forget to like their FB page first!) There's even a weekly winner for the voters as well! It might be you!

Next we went to Make Up Forever's counter and... got ignored by all fo the BAs. LOLOLOL. We didn't look like people who can afford their stuffs, meh? I can afford a Bonia bag, of course i can afford MUFE's stuffs lah hallo. LOL. But again, it's better to be ignored (at one point G was trying out their shimmery finishing powder-and a BA actually TOOK the brush out of her hand because she wanted to use it on some other customer! LOL) than being scoffed at.

At least we managed to swatch a lot of things (i promptly fell in love with their lip glosses and the aforementioned finishing powder! I never thought i'd ever want a bling2 face, but never say never when it comes to make up i guess *sigh*). Not entirely happy of being treated like we're invincible (or not a valued customer when we asked some questions to one of the BA). I am putting the shimmery finishing powder in my wishlist but would prefer to buy it somewhere else because i did not like the BAs in Tunjungan Plaza. LOL.

Then we started to really shop...

At Aldo

They were having some sale, and we were so shocked when we saw two clutches at less than IDR 200.000! This particular clutch was one that i've been eyeing since it first appeared in Aldo stores months ago (because of obvious reasons, look at the pastel colors combo!) but wouldn't even consider buying (it was almost IDR 500.000 i think. I'd prefer pay more and buy something more high end...), but now it's been reduced to around IDR 185.000! Since G also bought a clutch (a shimmery leopard one that might make #Undecided wants to claw her eyes out if only i had the picture for her to see hehe)-we got 10% more discount! This clutch costs me IDR 171.100

I'd say it was a total steal!

G kept on saying she wanted to learn how to put on falsies, but she doesn't have any glue despite of having a few falsies -___- WTF G! I told her to get something cheap for practicing purposes, so i dragged her to Daiso because their eyelash glues are cheap and works okay. We saw some super tiny cute ones, they are not the squeezy type (which is very very messy zzz) but came with tiny wands and they tempted me to get some too zzzz. My squeezy Daiso tube's almost dried out anyway. I told her we should get 2 sets of different types and get one each. So we did!

Daiso eyelashes glue, from two different types haha i just put them both in one package

Most of Daiso's stuffs were made in China so i was quite (pleasantly) surprised when i realized that these eye lashes glues were made in Korea!

We went to Elianto's counter at Matahari TWICE. Okay, bitching session starts here *LOL*. Actually the BA was not annoying or bitchy, she was... er.... unhelpful and clueless. I got an Elianto voucher from Lola Box and it clearly stated that it can only be used in Elianto counters in MATAHARI Department Store (otherwise i wouldn't bother to go to TP really. It's not very close to my home and we have Elianto counter in Centro-GM-which i went to (at least) every weekend!), so we went there at around 1 PM first. The BA was flustered and told us she knew nothing about it. And she had to check with her supervisor (how's that our problem, duh!!!) but the supervisor's not there yet, maybe she'll arrive around 2. Since i knew we're going to be there at least until 4, i said okay, we'll come back.

Then at 3 (!!!) we got back (just after having a bad episode in Magnolia *LOL*, more about that later) and she was like "Yes, sorry, but the supervisor didn't show up..." "I never saw that voucher, i have no idea about it..." "It cannot be used, sorry"-and she tried to show us an exactly the same voucher (but for IDR 30.000 instead of IDR 50.000) that expired months ago. I was seething and immediately twitted both Elianto and Lola Box (which replied pretty speedily!), but i didn't expect G to explode! LOL. I never saw G exploded much, she's probably the most patient (and clueless) one in the group-so it was quite a surprise.

She hurled the word "fraud" (Ho, CL's famous line came in mind immediately, THIS IS FRAUD!!!) told the BA "I DON'T CARE. You take care of this. You think i'm trying to cheat or something? YOU check it out with your supervisor or whatever, i don't care. All i know is we have this voucher and i want to to use it NOW". And sure enough, less than 3 minutes later after clicking on the computer very briefly, she returned all (even more) flustered and apologetic telling us it's valid and can be used now. WTF? -____-. I personally didn't hate her or whatever, she was nice and friendly (and not to mention visibly frightened by us), i just didn't get why she was trying to reject the voucher! Has she been trained to ward off anyone who's trying to use vouchers or something?

BAs in Matahari TP's quite troublesome in general though. I had an unpleasant episode with Maybelline's BA (where she scoffed and talked to me like i was a beggar when i asked her about a discount)-and that exact day Olin was actually also in TP and she was being treated like a dirt and actually being shooed off-by Maybelline Matahari's BA. Tsk Tsk Tsk, just because your stuffs are constantly on sale doesn't mean you can discount the service as well, no??? Geez, i would definitely explode and threw make ups on her face if i was Olin *LOL*.

Okay, bitching part 1 finished, there's part 2 and 3 in this post alone. LOL.

This is what i got from Elianto TP

In order to use the voucher, i had to spend at least IDR 250.000. I've always been attracted to their eye shadows (very pigmented and beautiful, very affordable too! IDR 45.000 to 69.000 each-the shimmery "top coat's more expensive) and i've also wanted a customized palette-while i am not interested in MAC's prices, Elianto's right up my alley. I paid IDR 244.000 for the biggest palette (can house 10 eye shadows) and 5 eye shadows. Very cheap, no?? Knowing me, i thought i'd fill it with colorful eye shadows, but i ended up picking mostly subtle colors! I can't believe my first customized palette would consist of very boring shades *LOL*, but they are oh-so-pretty (shimmer lovers would approve), i just gotta have them!

10-eye shadow palette (empty) IDr 69.000

Elianto Safari Shadow in 02 Creamy Yellow (IDR 45.000)

Luscious Shadow in 03 California Gold-despite looking very opaque it's actually more of a "top coat", very glittery but not pigmented like the other lines of eye shadow. It was supposed tp be IDR 69.000 but when i made the calculation at home, the BA totally gave me the wrong price and charged me IDR 45.000 instead! LOL.

Lustre Shadow in 01 Snow White (IDR 45.000) it didn't look like it's that appealing, but once swatched-it actually turns out to be glowy, shimmery white, and super pretty!

Lustre Shadow in 05 Dusky Pink (IDR 45.000), i have a lot of pink eye shadow but not enough of the shimmery one!

Madigra Shadow in 04 Brilliant Blue (IDR 45.000)

I actually went and purchase one more of them in Centro the next day because i got an IDR 30.000 (from shopping of the stuffs i will tell you about) voucher that expires today.

Luscious Shadow in 01 Platinum White (IDR 69.000), another one of the "top coat" type, paid IDR 39.000 only after using the voucher :D

Just like that i almost finished filling my palette within two days (i also have one one of their eye shadow from Lola Box before). Three more to go!

Of course, my hauls almost always contains accessories, right? This time's no exception!

Double rings on sale for IDR 30.000

I especially love the golden one, it's super super dainty!

Then some more in Bling. I can never resist their promotion!

Two ring sets for IDR 59.000, that'd be IDR 29.500 each!

This must not look very nice like this

But they actually spelled out the word LOVE! How cute???

Seriously, ring sets are my biggest accessories weakness now!

5 rings for IDR 29.500? Score!

Like i said earlier, we went to one of my fave local clothing store, Magnolia as well. It was (still is! You might want to check it out if you have Magnolia stores in your place! It's one of the biggest sales they've ever had, meaning the selection of sale items were pretty vast instead of one or two racks like usual) having a sale and i ended up with three tops that i've been wanting for quite a while. Not without any drama though.

The only non-sale item, a studded cropped top

Dreamy pink chiffon crepe see through top, 30% off-paid around IDR 82.000 for this

Lacey tye dye outer. I always loved the super pretty color combo but couldn't justify the IDR 197.000 price tag (for something from Magnolia, that's too pricey). It's now on a 30% off, and i didn't mind paying IDR 137.900 for it!

Oh ya, the drama. See that studded cropped top? I've been eyeing it for weeks (yes, i like to sleep off most of the stuffs that i wanted because of my wardrobe's condition), there's only two pieces left and i painfully checked the studs-one of the two pieces left had studded the almost fell off. So, naturally i picked the better one and the SA put it in the cashier. Then i went to the cashier to pay for my stuffs, there's a pair of mother and daughter paying for their stuffs ahead of me, and out of nowhere i saw the daughter pointed to MY top and said "I want that." and the STUPID cashier scanned it into their receipt! WTF! If nobody claims that top, why the hell would it be in the cashier,*#y*^@$%^!@$%^????

G hurried and found (she's really a good sidekick that day hahahaha) the SA who then told the cashier the top was mine. Both the SA and the cashier tried to avoid being responsible and kept on saying "I dunno!" "I dunno!". Right, of course i exploded HAHAHAHAHAHA. G told them to make a switch and give the top i picked to me. I would've walked away (hurling abuse to them all the way) without paying if they refused!

I got even madder when the customer in front of me bitched about "Wasn't it the same color anyway? What's the problem??" Hello *&#*^&%&*@, I picked that top specifically okay! Who died and made you queen that you can just point to any random things that other people already picked and they should give it to you? WTF, THE NERVE!!!! So i hurled some more sailor words to them (and thankfully that shut them up). However whenever i'm very very angry, i lost my capability to curse in Indonesian, so i was bitching in English at rapid fire at G. Not sure if they understood me fully, but at least they behaved better after i exploded. WHY IS IT ONE HAS TO BE A TOTAL B TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT???? It's so tiring!!!!

Ok lor, that's bitching number 2.

We moved to GM already and bought all these stuffs :

From Centro. Also bought a toy for Baby Boy (because he's been having very good grades) but of course i didn't take any pictures

Hahahahaha buying towels i also want to show you! I've taken up hot yoga classes (but only went once last week because my partner-L-kept on bailing pffffftttt. Will go again on Wednesday) and i don't really have any mid-sized towels.

Super cute bear cap for Baby Luca!

Then the cashier told us we're short IDR 30.000 to eligible for an IDR 30.000 voucher! So i went to hunt for something, anything! This comfy navy loose cropped top from Korz was on a 70% off, IDR 50.000 something so i got it! I love simple stuffs to mix and match too you know!

Then i also shopped at N.Y.L.A... only one balloney-sleeved chiffon bolero (LEOPARD pattern ahahahaha) that's on a special price, IDR 75.000. It's just hanging sadly there on the racks (with her three other sisters in different colors), for untrained eyes it looks like a lump of fugly thing, but hey-i'm the shopping diva okay! I knew it'd be cute! Guess what, as soon as i threw it on (and went to the mirror), two women noticed me and squealed, and proceed to grab the other two in the rack (that they already passed disinterestedly a few minuted prior). PFFFFFTTTTTT. I'm a little unhappy. I totally think N.Y.L.A should pay me or something, it was like i was endorsing them-and still buying their stuffs! LOL. Kidding (or not).

It's impossible to photograph though, you need to see it ON

Eh, remember i spilt all those vajeje wash that i got from Singapore? Then i made #Undecided buy me one? I also forced G to buy me one *LOLOLOL*, after months she finally did!

I'm not sure how many Indonesian bloggers would post a picture of a Vajeje wash on their blog *LOLOLOL*, considering the circumstances on how i got them-i totally should post this!

That's actually all of the stuffs i got! Plenty huh? But the bitching only got to two? Yeah, third one about The Body Shop's birthday program. I never knew that a member's entitled of a free gift on their birthday (if anyone else didn't know-#Undecided didn't so i wasn't the odd one out!-you're welcome!), until yesterday when i accidentally read their twitter! Then i also read "gift can be redeemed max 1 month after your birthday". I went to all the trouble asking them if exactly one month (it was the 3rd yesteday right) on Twitter, but even though they replied to a lot of other people, they never bothered to answer me.

We went to ECC to watch Emergo (sucks. Don't watch it!) and there's no TBS in ECC, because i'm #1 Miss Kiasu, i actually asked hunny if he'd mind going to GM (and then back to ECC after to pick up Baby Boy who's having too much fun at Chipmunk) to use the Centro voucher and also check with TBS. On the way there, i realized i didn't have my ID (which is needed to get the gift) with me-i put it in my work out bag in case they needed it at the yoga place last Tuesday for registration and then forgot to put it back in my bag) so we had to make a detour home.

So imagine my disappointment when the BA first said "Oh yes, it can be redeemed" first but quickly followed with "Oh, no. It can't. Have you redeemed this already?". Errrr.... i just told you that i ONLY heard about this program today, and now you're asking me if i've already redeemed it? Would anyone be so brazen as to try to redeem something they already redeemed before? Well, if anyone would, that wouldn't be me! It already took me so much courage to come up and asked her about the free gift (such things embarrass me to no end you know). PFFFTTTT.

Of course, i didn't really blame the BA, the whole thing was automatic after all. She wasn't the one who refused to give me the free gift, it just confuses me how the receipt printed out stated "Do not issue birthday gift, it has been issued". BY WHOM????

I complained in multiply twits to TBS, but never got any response *even though they kept on twitting*. That makes me realize, that not every brand would respond to your complains (ahem, Carrefour), they would only reply to nice things. So i am immensely impressed with the ones that does (like Elianto and Lola Box).

Bitching finished (for now) *LOL*. Btw, there's this HUGE Christmas tree (already???) in GM and i had to take pictures :

Can't even capture the tip :p

I have a very strong urge to steal one of the bears...

Baby Boy's hair cuts are always a hit and miss with me, even though he went to the same hairdresser! This time's not up to my standard either :(

There's LT Pro's Fashion and Beauty parade or something and we watched a while when we're having a coffee break at Starbucks (because i just want a few sips coz it's late already, and hunny's addicted to their Salted Caramel one). I am not trying to be rude, but... Errrr.... I was confused with their model selections. Let's just say they made the clothes looked bad *LOL*. I guess it was ill fitting (wayyyy to loose, it was probably normal people's size worn by super skinny models, so...) or something.

But... not only that, some of them looked like they thought they were hot stuffs or something, in short G and i agreed that some of them really pissed us off just by watching them LOLOLOL. Not to mention the walk. I mean, i know they wouldn't walk like America's Next Top Models or something, but there's this particular girl who walked like she's the prettiest girl on earth, all snooty and with excessive "OH I'M SO HOTTT" vibes and crazy hips throwing, next thing i know.... down she went. LOL. I burst out laughing obvi. Oh God, i'm such a horrible person, i'm going to hell!

Before i finish this longer than-i-intended post, here's a picture of BABY LUCAAAA!

AWWW So chubby! So CUTE!

A golden bangle from all of mummy's BFF!

In case you're wondering why we got a gold accessory for a baby boy, that's because in Chinese tradition it's compulsory for close relatives to get gold stuffs for a new baby-to wish the baby well and also to strengthen them familial bond. We're practically family already so of course we gotta get them something made of gold!

Okay, i really gonna stop now hahaha. Happy holiday for Indonesian!
