Black and Blue Doesn't Have to Hurt...

Hi hi!

I have another very backdated outfit post for ya! It's from last year and it's the outfit that i wore for Odang's wedding :D!

I was quite hesitant to post this because... I wasn't happy with the way i looked that night. Not the outfit itself, but the fact that i was super bloated (in the middle of my period, i don't know about you but i have serious issues with water retention. My tummy would bloat 3x of its original flat size, my face puffs up and even my fingers become very sausage-like, a ring that would normally be very loose can be super tight during my periods. Flying also makes me bloat, as well as traveling. All three causes combined? I became a beached whale) and used a tight short to make my tummy less bulging in the only blue party dress that i have (darn the last minute dress code!!!) with an extremely body hugging material, but ended up giving me unsightly lines that are even more visible on photographs *sigh*.

But i decided, i still like the end result and we can't all look how we all want to be all the time so i'm still posting it! What i did like was how the makeup turned out :

Putting a full party makeup on in a hotel room with the help of a tiny mirror is not a very easy thing to do, okay!

Even my dad-who usually prefer to tease me than giving me a compliment, told me i looked like a doll ^^ , so... good job, me? Haha.

It was certainly a lot of fuss, packing for wedding parties in another city, i definitely brought a lot of more things than i would normally (when i travel) coz... party dress, shoes, full set of makeup... That's a lot of things!

Here's a list of products i used for this look :

1. C/o Simply Stay by Mustika Ratu Liquid Foundation

2. C/o Simply Stay by Mustika Ratu Two Way Cake

3. Clinique All About Eyes Concealer

4. NYS Spring Fling Palette (eyeshadow and blush on)

5. Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner

6. Lavie Luxury Faux Lashes

7. Dialfa Winnie the Pooh Vanilla Lipbalm

8. The Face Shop Gloss & Mat Lip Palette PK 101

9. Esprique Double Shine Face Powder

10. NYX Candy Glitter Eyeliner in CGL 18 Baby Pink

I really look like a bunny in several angles zzz

Didn't have Marshmallow yet so selfie was still mirror selfie haha

NOTD : Crystal Nail in H6

The water retention, the angle, everything made my hips looks uber wide *it isn't T.T my thighs are huge but my hips' totally proportional alright!*

But heck, i think i still rocked it anyway *LOL*


Outfit details : Necklace, ring and gold clutch : Stroberi Bracelet : Centro Dept Store Black Lace Top (worn as inner) : Online Blue Bodycon Dress : Zara Gold Obi : Magnolia Shoes : Everbest

I hope i'd get a heads up on dress codes next time i have to attend a wedding out of town! You know i'm an OCD and that means i need to meticulously plan my outfit. I already had the outfit for this wedding (i ended up wearing it to Henry's wedding!), it's black and flowy because i know what period, flying and traveling do to my body *sigh*.

Speaking of wedding, i need to bug #Undecided about what we're going to wear for Lyd's wedding on May! I need to plan ahead!

TTYL!

What I Got on My Birthday

accessories

Hey guys!

Originally i planned to post our Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign Special Project with Clinique Event Report (whew, isn't it a mouthful?) but since #Undecided is every bit as OCD (and a control freak) as i am, she needs to take a look at the full post (which i finished literally minutes ago when she's no longer online) before letting me publish it, i decided to tend to my pile of pressing drafts needed attending to.

Since my actual birthday was last month and the last of the celebration was more than two weeks ago, i suppose everything regarding my birthday is in the "need to be posted ASAP" category *LOL*.

This time round i want to show you all the wonderful gifts that i (mostly, but there are some for hunny too hehe, i guess the older guys become the lesser the chance of them for geting any gifts except from their spouses, no? As in for girls, as long as they have their BFFs around, they will always be showered with pretty stuffs!) received on my bday!

Look at all those wonderful stuffs ^^... This does not include the main gifts that i got from my hunny (see what he got here in this post instead).

First let's rewind and see them uncovered hahaha...

There's just something about seeing multiples plastic bags that makes every shopaholic hearts goes thump thump thump :D!

First up, is the gift that my girls (with the top up from my hunny, *LOL*, it's every husband in our circle's responsibility to top up whatever amount still missing from the long-ago-established budget we pitched in) that as usual, i picked for myself.

These 2 pairs of uber kawaii booties ^^

I love booties (the short ones, i don't feel the tall ones) and found them to be very useful for my travels to colder countries (still contemplating whether to wear the mint or pink one for our upcoming trip next December ^^, i just gotta find a matching bag first!) as well as stylish and fun enough to wear locally *i used to be concerned about the stares, now as i got older, i don't care so much*. Gosh has three different colorways (the other one's yellow, uber cute too, i was super tempted to complete the collection, to be honest with you!), i got greedy and asked for my fave 2! Thanks girls, i love love love my new pastel booties!

Next is a gift from LL and her family, she's always very thoughtful and creative when it comes to presents! Every year she makes sure that hunny is always included. Once she gave us a long and huge pillow (that we still use) with decorative patches spelling our names, another year she gave us errr... some lingerie (her hubby said it's a gift for both hunny and i LOLOLOL) and undies >.<... And this year it's a couple's towels! With uber cute colors as well ^^. Very useful and adorable!

This Victoria Secret set is from O and MM. It's one of my favorite scent from this Victoria Secret's line, Love Spell-which happens to be #Undecided's hubby's fave too. You know i have an obsession with bath and body cares, so i couldn't be happier to recieve this!

Still on the same theme, we got this gigantic The Body Shop set from CL! It's seriously very big and heavy, okay! I spot some body butters in this, awesome! I would definitely use them on hunny (body butters are a bit too rich for my normal skin) and skip having to purchase them for a while now, yay!

I also got this sunnies, necklace, earrings and bracelets from Vincci, a gift from my cousin L! I love them, especially the sunnies! I used to own only one pair of sunnies that i wore everywhere, but nowadays i don't go traveling without purchasing a new pair *LOL*. I don't have a nude colored one yet so this is a very welcomed addition to my growing collection! Super love the dainty and pretty colored bracelet as well!

The next item is a gift from me for my hunny, which he chose for himself.

This is actually a thick, warm scarf from Zara Men. Hunny always chose some weird, boring (mostly gadget related) presents, but this time round i noticed him being attracted to those scarf at Zara Men but too cheap to buy them for himself (i honestly also wouldn't pay IDR 500.000 for a scarf, but this is a gift so it doesn't count!) so i offered to buy him one. It'll hopefully keep him warm and dapper on our December trip (yes, i cannot wait, as you probably can tell by the amount of time i mention it in one post!).

And the last item is still for hunny, and still from Zara!

This present is both from me and #Undecided because she also wanted to pitch in for something for hunny (because my BFF is awesome like that), Zara Silver perfume. I really like how it smells, and let's face it-when it comes to men scent, the most important factor is their women love it! Haha.

I am super stoked with all of my gifts and couldn't be more grateful for my generous friends (and family!). As much as i love being showered with wonderful stuffs, i always stress that it's "The thoughts that matters, not the material values".

Some weird people seems to think this kind of posts to be braggish and a chance for us to show off, which is weird and sickening. I don't need to explain myself but i'm doing this to document my life as well as sharing it with my nosey readers (i know i'm a nosey reader myself and love to nose around other people's presents!), so if you're thinking negatively about this post.. Go get a life, will ya?

I better wrap this up now, i'm super high from medication and would love nothing but to rest now.

Toodles!

#Pink's CNY 2014's Looks

body and soul

Hellowww everybody!!!!

It's been a crazy busy four days for me, i'm dead tired and have no time to blog properly yet. I have so much to tell you though! It's been pretty much four days full of non-stop celebrations (which is good according to the fortune teller, see my previous post to see what i mean) haha. But like i said, too tired to think much but i do miss blogging (i'm addicted i guess) so i'm just gonna do the easy stuffs first : showing off my Chinese New Year looks!

CNY's Eve, CNY morning and CNY night outfits. All about red, of course! (it symbolizes fortune and luck!)

I just love dressing up, i'm totally the type of person that always goes overboard on holidays and festivities so you won't ever see me not dressing up to the occasion! And Chinese New Year is like the single most important holiday if you're Chinese, so all the new make ups must come out as well for me :p.

All the new stuffs (the most important one : new undies!) start to come out on CNY eve in my family, so here are my new make ups for the night :

Collection Hotlights Lip Gloss (but i only managed to use it on the CNY night!) in 5 (Glow), The Face Shop's Lovely Me Ex Color My Eye Brow in No 2 (Light Brown), Skin Food Honey Lip Treatment, Collection Volume Sensation Lipstick in 9 (Grape Glitz) and Lancome Eye Shadow Quad (i got it from my mum, it's tiny-containing 1.52gr of eye shadows in total so i guess it's a travel size?)

I mentioned just a few days ago about how obsessed (in a bad way) i was with my super dark, jet black eye brows after i had my hair retouched. How jarringly clashing the colors was, how weird i suddenly felt-that i wasted no time to hunt for the cheapest (errr... Old habits die hard you know...) eye brow mascara around. I purchased one immediately from Chic Princessa (along with a few other stuffs, will show you soon!) and been wearing it every day since the 30th!

It was the cheapest one available in Chic Princessa (IDR 65.000) and i wasn't even sure about the color matching my hair (because i couldn't find any review for the mascara type, only the pencil types! Wonder if this is a new product or something?) and was super nervous about not being able to apply it properly (i've never done anything to my eyebrow other than plucking it in the past! I know squat about applying products to my brows! I don't even know how to use eye brow pencils!), but it was a lot easier than i expected!

CNY's Eve's FOTD

My CNY nails, using Etude House Dear My Party Nails PBK801

I love love love this chiffon dress, so floaty and pretty! Very flattering shape too (not suitable for very skinny girls though, my niece Au tried it on once and she looked like a lost kite or something :p)

My fave sleeve length : Check! Princessy material : Check! Decent length so i won't need to worry about my pesky relatives' comments : Check!

Paired it with a golden obi since the zipper's golden (also perfect because CNY's identical with red and gold! It's all about the cha-chingggg for us Chinese i guess :p)

Completed the outfit with this large structured clutch that i got from Sogo on sale (of course) a while back. I haven't even featured it in my haul post, that's how behind i am with my haul posts!

Red Chiffon Dress : Body and Soul, Golden Obi : Magnolia, Structured Floral Clutch : Sogo, Heels : Everbest. Everything were brand new except for the heels that you've seen a thousand times in various posts

I only wore genuine gold (and diamond) during CNY season, it's tradition (and also to make sure we attract even more ca-ching for the upcoming year of course! LOL)! Oh yeah, i bought the dress after eyeing for the longest time in Body and Soul, it was just too bloody expensive (IDR 450.000 or something)! Even after being on sale, it was not exactly cheap (IDR 250.000) but after months of putting it off, i caved in. Believe it or not, i got it in XS (it was the last piece, or so they said) and it's still gigantic. A week later i visited Body and Soul again, and of course... New stocks comes out and it's been further reduced to IDR 195.000. My only consolation was it was in size M (which is crazy since the XS was so HUGE already) and would look awful on me. If you see it XS (for IDR 195.000) please don't ever let me know.

Here's an extra outfit pic with my brand new pajama :p! It's cute, isn't it? My mum got it for me and i couldn't stop protesting on why she only got me one (we're supposed to have two pairs, one for CNY's Eve and one for the actual CNY)

Cam-whoring my CNY nails, even on my pajama :P (haven't removed my make up, obvi)

Then more new make ups for the actual CNY, naturally!

Collection Work The Colour Trio in 5 (Champagne Fizz); Eyeshadow Pencils in 5 (Midnight Glam) and 1 (Vanilla Sky); Blush & Highlight Cream Duo in 2 (Peaches & Cream), Etude House 55 Kissful Tint Chou in 1 (Red Chou)-old packaging, Ocean Soda Pops Lip Balm in Grape

CNY morning FOTD

Yea... It was really early in the morning (for me, of course. You know how big of an owl i am) and i (as always) didn't get enough sleep the night before... So... Woke up looking super puffy!

Of course, donning my brand new red (what else) Fossil Bag

Can't stop cam-whoring with my pretty nails hahahaha. And clearly the mirror needed to be cleaned again

But not on CNY of course, you do know we're not supposed to clean up (and throw away stuffs, or say bad words, and a million other rules that i broke simultaneously) on CNY right? Chinese believe that cleaning up and throwing out stuffs (including dusts) would mean throwing away lucks and prosperity! We seriously don't want that right!

An awesome OOTD pic taken by my hunny. If only he takes this kind of shots all the time, i can stop taking mirror selfies, but it's one in a million kind of shot really *LOL* i just got ridiculously lucky that day hahahah. Red Wrap Dress : Zara, Red Skinny Belt with Little Golden Bow Buckle : Stroberi, Bag : Fossil, Heels : Charles & Keith

I didn't buy these heels especially for this CNY, i actually got this like, a year ago or something *LOL* on 60% off and been hoarding it forever. It was perfect for my outfit though, pray to God it won't crumble the next time i wear it since i kept it (in brand new condition) for so long!

The dress was not bought recently either, got it on Zara's previous sale like in July or August of 2013! But i already knew i wanted to wear it for the next CNY so of course i kept it in one of my closets of shame! It also ticked off all the right boxes (except that it's more chic than princessy, made from soft cotton) as it was flattering (anything that covers my massive arms loosely are flattering for my body shape really), decent (you know, CNY is all about meeting your nosy relatives and family friends. They can be the most obnoxious people and make the most insensitive comments that made me want to hurl abuse their way, mostly to tell them to look at themselves in the mirror before making stupid, rude comments. I really prefer to avoid all that, thank God i succeeded this year hahaha) without being too closed up and matronly.

Even though it still stings being called "Auntie" by some girl only 13 years my junior. Seriously. I was much much younger than you when you were born, how would you feel to be called aunty by my 6 year old son, eh? Grrr.

Moving on now.

CNY night FOTD. Actually i didn't re-do my make up *LOL*, i even napped in full make up :p. I just darkened my eyeliner (using that Collection Eyeshadow Stick) and skip the red lippie and use the Collection Hotlight Lip Gloss instead. I looked a lot less puffy at night right? LOL

The soft, light lip color made the whole look a lot softer. We were just going to my sister's place for a serviced BBQ afterall...

Used the same skinny belt as the morning. Cream and Red Crepe Chiffon Kimono Dress : Body and Soul

I totally forgot to buy a new slip dress (also because i wasn't really planning to wear this dress on CNY, actually) so i used a casual, striped (black with white stripes) cotton dress as the inner (the dress was see-through!). It has the most interesting, kimono-like sleeves with unexpected holes and i was clearly trying to show it off in this picture, not quite successfully so...

I love the slouchy shape, made it look casual but chic at the same time

Got this dress at the same time as the dress for the CNY, thankfully this one's not being further reduced (so far!!!!) or i will be doubly as pissed. It was on a huge sale as well, got it for IDR 195.000 only :D.

That's all of the outfits and make ups for this year's CNY, i'm very pleased with all of my looks especially because i reached my goal (not getting any annoying comments regarding my looks. Well, maybe of my blonde hair, but that's about all so i can't complain). Don't be too confused if within a month or so i might get next year's CNY's outfit already, whenever i see a pretty red dress i immediately reserve it as my CNY outfit...

If you also celebrated CNY and blog about it, lemme know and leave your link below so i can check it out. I'm always nosy like that :D.

Shopping Queen is Back!

bath and body cares

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*!
