Taobao Haul (1)

Friday, July 1, 2016

I am sure many of you have heard of Taobao.

Maybe most have already purchased from Taobao before.

I am really late to finally shop from Taobao!

We ordered our goodies and paid for it on the same day, 3 April 2016

I received an email that my order is shipped on 5 April 2016

We received our goodies 9 April 2016

Pretty fast!

Total damage: RM 63.70



***



First item is...

ACARE DIY CUSHION FOUNDATION CASE

I think it cost about RM 18

It comes with a cushion puff

I will place the link here, just in case you are interested in getting this to make your own cushion foundation.



***


Next is...

ACARE MICRO BUBBLE FORMER BOTTLE

I wanted to get this for such a long time.

When my mum went to Japan last year, I asked her to buy this for me.

It cost over RM 30.

This dupe here cost less than RM 9

This creates dense foam from the normal foam cleansers!

At first, I thought I bought something really useless and unnecessary!
It did not create a lot of foams the first 2 times I used it.

Then on the third try, I added more water than usual and it did create a lot of foams with a small amount of cleanser. I was amazed!

I bought this from here.

***

POWDER PUFF

Never tried the beauty blender before so I cannot compare...

I tried to apply my foundation with this once.
It feels ok.
My foundation looks ok. At least it was not cakey and last for quite a few hours without the need to touch up.

I washed it after using it and it was breaking... literally!
I am not sure whether I am too rough with it!

Still can use I think, but it looks a little ugly now.
RM 5 out the window...

Got this from here.

***

BRUSH EGG BRUSH CLEANER

I saw this before and since baby sis is buying this, I bought one as well.

This cost about RM 6.50

Got it here.

***

ACARE CUSHION FOUNDATION PUFF

RM 9.50

I did not know that there will be cushion foundation puffs in the case, so I bought it!

I have a lot of replacements now!

Got it from the same store/seller, ACARE.

Link here.

***

ACARE INNER SPONGE FOR CUSHION FOUNDATION

RM 5... I think

I bought this for the same reason!

lol

Oh well, what can I do?

Available here.

***

Last of all, there are free gifts!

That's all!
Thank you for reading, as always.

Hey :)

Just wanted to share the random stuff I bought last month.

BD Alcohol Swabs

RM 9.20 for 100

I wanted to buy these after watching Jen aka Meejmuse disinfect her makeup.
I love her videos! She is the first (or second) Youtuber I subscribed to... The other Youtuber I love is Melodee Morita!

Finally I managed to buy these from Guardian.

I used a couple of these to disinfect some of my makeup!

I like it!

I tried it and it works like magic.

I will repurchase this!

Polylab Methylated Spirit

RM 6.75 for 100ml

I bought this to disinfect my makeup as well...

Just wanted to make sure my makeup is super clean. lol

It contains 95% alcohol.

I wanted one that contains 70% alcohol but this is the only one I can find...

2358 Twin Head Eyebrow & Eyeliner Pen

RM 20 for 0.9g

I bought this from Kioda @ Mount Austin

I think it is pretty good when I tried the tester.

***

I purchased a few items in this month...

Bought this when I was in Subang...

I bought the chia seeds because it is one of the superfood!

lol

I am trying to be a little more healthy.

Oh,  I bought the avocado oil because I saw it.

lol

I might make my own skincare products..

The shampoo brush is for my husband.

I have one and I think it helps with my dandruff so I am getting one for hubby to try

His scalp is in quite a mess. lol

iQueen Haul #2

Thursday, February 18, 2016

***

This was from last year... lol
It took me a while to finally blog about it... hmm

***

It was a long day at work...

When we were home, little sister told us that there is crazy sales online...

CYBERSALE!!!

She showed us a few items... and...

There goes my money!

We looked through all the online websites and started shopping!

iQueen.my is definitely my new favorite online website for skincare products!

The deals were too attractive to resist!

Buy above RM100 and get a Beauty Box...

Of course we want a Beauty Box!!!

So the ladies in the house started shopping!

We ordered our goodies on 2 October 2015

We received our goodies on 7 October 2015

Since it was Cybersale, I guess a lot of people were shopping with them!

So happy when I saw this box!


Even happier when I unwrapped it!

We bought quite a number of skincare products...

Sexylook Black Head Pore Set (Strawberry) 3 sets
One for me, little sis and baby sis
We bought this for RM 22 each!

Secret A Melting Cream
One for baby sis, one for mum
RM 5 from clearance corner

Coni Beauty Fresh Green Tea Hand Cream
One for me and one for mum
RM 2.90 each

My Scheming L-Ascorbic Acid Whitening Mask
&
My Scheming Red Wine Intensive Whitening Mask


We bought this so that we can get the Beauty Box
Baby sis, mum and I shared these
RM10 for each box from the clearance corner


We were all looking forward for the Beauty Box
The box is so pretty!

Inside the box...

A full size Coni Beauty Premium Snail Complete Lotion, Ludeya 2-Step mask, Sexylook black sheet mask, Sexylook Eye Mask, and a few samples from various brands such as Cellina, Coni Beauty and KYL


My sister forgot to enter the code for the Beauty Box and did not know how to add it after making payment. iQueen responded immediately and add it in for us.


Thank you so much, iQueen!

iQueen Haul #1

Shopping experience with Hermo

Thurday, January 14, 2016

(This is a long overdue post from October 2015... lol)

Well, it was cybersale!

How can I miss it?

Little sister and I decided to buy a few things from Hermo.

It was also the first time we shopped with Hermo.

We ordered our goodies and paid for it on the same day, 2 October 2015

I received an email that my order is shipped on 8 October 2015

We received our goodies the very next day, 9 October 2015

I understand that it is cybersale so it is reasonable to take a longer time :)

Our package is here!

We were super excited to see our goodies...

Little sister rushed out to get it... lol

The goodies we ordered this time!

I know it is difficult to see the products...

So let's zoom in now :)

A group picture of the goodies :)

The masks on the top left corner are free samples...

I bought the mask on the bottom left corner for RM1 only!

3W Clinic Intensive UV Sunblock Cream

RM19.80 (excluding GST) for 70ml

I bought this because it is cheap... lol

DMC Deep Cleansing Mask

RM129 (excluding GST) for 500g

I saw a lot of great reviews on this... I just had to try this out!

My skin is not as good as it used to be so I need something good!

Little sister is sharing this one with me :)

Well, I convinced her to share >,<

The shopping experience is pleasant...

Delivery is not too bad as well...

If I had to choose, I will prefer iqueen because there is no GST... lol

Service is good and delivery is a little faster...

Just to compare... but the products I bought from hermo is not available on iqueen...

I will say it is quite similar (in terms of service, delivery and price), but it is up to you to decide :)

Japan Haul

Thursday, January 7, 2016

Hey :)

My mama went to Japan in October...

I wanted to tag along but I cannot!

My list did tagged along though... lol

I had to give her a list of what I want!!!

SKINCARE of course...

Yes, I know!

I never stop buying skincare products!

I kept telling myself over and over again that this will be the last time...

I really hoped this will be the last time!

How can I not buy any skincare products when mom is going over to SKINCARE HEAVEN?

Okay... I did my homework!

I gave mama my list and took pictures of the products in her phone so it will be easier for her

Mama went to the drugstores and showed the pictures to the staff...

Luckily, there were staff that can speak Chinese so mama bought almost everything on our list on the first day!

All the products were bought by mama on the trip...

Not everything below belongs to me...

Just an idea of what you can buy when you are in Japan!

*All pictures taken by little sister's camera*

First up is...

FOOD!

Potato Chips!
Looks like french fries!
The taste is a little different than normal potato chips...
I like this :)

A close up of the chips!

More potato chips!

Instant Noodles from Daiso



I love these...
These brings back memories... lol
I used to eat these when I was in Taiwan almost everyday >,<

More instant noodles and snacks...
I love these!
It is available at Daiso here as well but it was cheaper there so mama got it for us...
It is a little salty if taken as snack...
When I am hungry, just add hot water and my cup noodle is ready!

The famous Tokyo Banana

I always wanted to try this because I always see this on instagram!
I opened one as was super excited...
It was just... so-so...

I will not buy this in Japan but it is worth a try la...

Such a pretty packaging!

Mochi!

Not  sure if it is nice because I have not tried it yet

Some sort of crackers...

Chocolates and marshmallows

The melon chocolates up close

I find the melon a little artificial... lol
Mama likes it but little sis and I did not really enjoy this


Next will be...

Supplements and drugstore products!

Nasal Spray (¥760) and Ryukakusan Herbal Powder for sore throat (¥598)

Seems to be popular so mama bought it

Lots and lots of supplements, especially from DHC
I saw a lot of Japan Hauls on YouTube featuring these, so I wanted to try these!

DHC Vitamin C - ¥328
DHC Vitamin B Mix - ¥318
DHC Collagen - ¥1080

Asahi Ebios Supplements
¥1480

Quite popular...
3rd place on cosme in 2014
Worth a try, I guess :)

Mama bought these leg patches to try (¥438)
I tried one and it feels good... because of the cooling gel
It is really sticky so I can sleep with these... lol

Fino Hair Mask (¥498) and a random hair curler (¥108)

I did not see a lot of reviews on Fino Hair Mask but it seems to be good...
I never tried a hair mask before so it is time!


Finally....

SKINCARE PRODUCTS!

Cleansers!

Looks like a lot right?

From top left corner: Kanebo Suisai Beauty Clear Powder (¥1600), Skinlife Medicated Facial Wash (¥458), Utena Cold Cream (¥648), Cow Brand Soap - red (¥427)
From bottom left corner: Rosette Cleansing Paste (¥348), Shiseido Perfect Whip Facial Foam (¥298), Aloe Facial Wash (¥108) and Cow Brand Soap - blue (¥598)

Well, it was cheaper in Japan... and some are not available here in Malaysia... and... erm... we saw great reviews on some of the cleansers... so... we... bought... them...

Oh well, I will stop trying to justify why we bought these...

Rosette Peeling Gel
¥380

It is number one on cosme in 2014 so I must try!
I am still looking for a cheaper peeling gel to replace my holy grail, Cure Natural Aqua Gel!
I hope this will be it!

Eye Cream
¥880

I saw the number 1 cosme sticker on the eye cream but I did not see it on cosme... lol
The reviews on the eye cream seems to be good (and the rating is pretty good too) so I need to try this!
I am still looking for a decent eye cream for my panda eyes!

That's all!


Well, one more!

New addition to my skincare family :)
I am looking forward to use them!


Thank you for reading, as usual :)
