Hauls from Malaysia

I was in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from Nov 23 to Nov 28, 2009.

Since I was staying in Boulevard hotel near Megamall in Midvalley, it was an opportunity to roam the mall for make up and skin care brand available.
I read Connie's blog for my reference.

It was a big haul for me, and quite damaging my credit card. LOL.
So here it is:

From Watson's, I purchased these:


Rimmel London:
1. Sexy Curves Full Volume & Curve Mascara, price RM 39.90
2. Moisture renew lipstick in Electric Plum, price RM 26.90

Majolica Majorca:
3. Lash Expander Frame Plus, price RM 39.90
How to use: apply first coat using the upper brush (see picture) then use lower brush for second coat.
4. Rouge Majex in PK 313, price RM 26.90
5. Jeweling Pencil (eyeliner) in BE208 (light brown) has glitter, price RM 20.90

Other products:
6. Bio Oil (www.bio-oil.com), 125 ml, price RM 54.80
This product helps to improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone, also good for ageing skin and dehydrated skin. It contains calendula, lavender, rosemary, and chamomile oil, and Purcellin Oil.
For treating the scar and stretch mark, we need to use it at least for 3 months.
I bought this because Fifi asked me to buy this for her and when I read the function, I thought I can use it too for my uneven face skin color.

- St. Ives Cucumber eye gel, RM 21.30 (not shown in the picture)
It's a big one, I think I won't need eye gel for a long time.



In other beauty store, I got these:
7. Dr. Young 2p Pearl Brightening Balm (BB) with SPF 35 PA ++, 30ml, price RM 49

8. Solegio Coenzyme Q10 hand cream, normal price was RM 22.90, but since I spent more than RM 50, the price reduced to RM 5. What a deal! If it's not that cheap, I won't considered buying it. The product is from Korea.


- Sunplay Watery Cool RM 26.90 for sun protection during my swim lesson (not shown in the picture)



ELIANTO's corner

Elianto is local brand, but the products are made in Korea.



On my first day of shopping, I bought these:
A. Green Tea lip & eye make up remover for all skin types. I almost run out of remover, so this will be my stock. It has other variants though, but I couldn't remember.
Price RM 18

B. Shimmer stick in light yellow. Plan to use this for eyeshadow base. Price RM 18

And on the last day in KL, I purchased:
C. Facial Cream Soap, contains green tea, price RM 29.
In the box, there's a small spatula to scoop the soap.

D. Pearl eye cream, for all skin types, to brighten the skin in eye area.price RM 20
There's ginseng eye cream for wrinkles. I didn't know which one to choose, but the beauty consultant suggested me to buy Pearl as she said I don't have wrinkles (awww.....)

E. Touch on Blush in Mocha Brownie, price RM 32
I like the applicator, it's cute.... How to apply: just swipe on cheek, not pat.




MAC Store

The most expensive stuffs I bought. MAC Paint Pot, RM 70 each, and I bought two!
The colors I picked were Bare Study and Fresco Rose. The pink color is pretty and Bare Study sure does can be used for all color base as it's in neutral color.
And definitely it's smudge proof. Difficult to wipe it clean. Can't compare it with Elianto's Shimmer Stick.




Well, those are the make up hauls, while other stuff I bought were Charles & Keith red Roman Sandal (normal price RM 99.90, disc. 40% RM 59.95) and varieties of candies in KLIA for RM 74.70

Sick while traveling

I have been getting the coughing since last September. It's on and off. Sometimes it's just dry coughing, which hurt my throat. It's the ticklish feeling in the throat that made me cough.
Well..... I know the source of the problem..... It's because I keep staying up very late every night. I went to bed at 2 or 3 AM, sometimes I even didn't get sleep!

So, I had travel plan on Nov 23 to Dec 1. I planned to see my physiotherapist before I went, but there are lots of things to do before the trip and I ended up not going for the treatment. I saw a doctor in a clinic near my house to get medication before the trip. He prescribed me two types of antibiotics for my coughing, a flu medication, and a medicine to take whenever I feel difficulty to breathe.

The coughing was still there before I went to Malaysia. Since I had the training in Malaysia, and I was online every night and went to sleep around 1 AM, I started to get the flu.
I did get some rest in my last day in KL.

It was a torture when I had to be in plane. The flight from KL to Bangkok was a start. I had headache at one side of my head, then my left ear was blocked. I tried to yawn and yawn, but it was difficult to make the ear free from blockage. It was painful!

The flu started in Hua Hin, Thailand. To make it worst, my asthma reoccurred and the constant coughing gave me back pain. I had short breathe. I couldn't do physical activities. I tried to hold on as we had meetings and team building rally.
In the last day of meeting, I couldn't hold it. I had another headache in one side of my head, yesterday was at left side, that day was right side and it's painful my eye couldn't be opened.
I asked the organizer to take me to a clinic. My medications have finished.
They took me to San Paulo Hospital. A missionary hospital. They checked my temperature and blood pressure. All were normal. The doctor gave me three medicines.
Oh man..... It cost a lot! I paid THB 2,969.
The price to pay when you are sick abroad.

Another thing happened after dinner in the the last night of our stay in Hua Hin (Nov 30). I had stomachache which caused me diarrhea. I was planning to shop at night market in that night, I only stayed 10 minutes there and decided to come back to hotel to poop.....
It was between the urge to poop that make me wanna run and the difficulty to breath. A contradiction indeed.
When I arrived in my room, I straight went to bath room. After poop, I took shower. Apply cajuputih oil all over my body to warm me up, and slept under my blankie. I was very very sick. I didn't bring medicine for this. Usually, I'd bring some first aid medicine.
In the next morning, I felt better, but I still had diarrhea.
It kept like that, but still controlable. Otherwise, I'd be in trouble because I was traveling back to Jakarta. In every terminal, I went to toilet and pee and poop. I didn't do that while I was in the plane.

Today, Dec 2, I stayed at home and just resting, sleeping the whole day through.

I don't like being sick when I'm travelling!

In that order, I also included samples of eyeshadow from Egyptian Treasures collection and several Taboo blush samples.

Taboo Blushes

I read in a blog that colors in Egyptian Treasure collection are almost similar one to another, so I didn't buy the whole set. I only choose several.
And when I saw the samples, indeed, they look almost the same.

I'll just do a quick post. the swatches and review will be done later on......

Speaking of cats, here's photos of my cats from the past

Bath and Body Products (Because I'm The Princess, BITP)

Last week I really had a big haul. From The All Natural Face packages, Afro*Scent*ric, then Because I'm The Princess (BITP)!.
Kelly packed my stuffs in such cute way (of course, I asked for it, hehe). She included a thank you card too....
I found the shop after I read a review from Nanzy. I love bath and body products, but I need to see more new stuffs, unique stuffs. Kelly has sooo many different scents in her catalog. When I saw "Food and Drink" scent category, I've just gotta click and saw the list.
So far, in my beauty products stash, I have scent of Vanilla and Chocolate. So when I saw lots of choices from BITP, I drooled.
I shopped at her store in Etsy.Com, unfortunately she didn't provide international shipping at Etsy, but I can order through Etsy and she informed me shipment charges to Jakarta, Indonesia. It's easier if you shop at Etsy because of the convo feature which allows you to communicate with the sellers. You can also order through her own website, though. She needs sometimes to create the products as she makes it fresh, turn around time 2-5 business days.

What did I order?

A. 1 - Princess Power Pack, consists of:

1 oz. Aloe Silk Body Mist, scent I chose: Santa's Workshop

1 oz. Royal Protein Hair Mist, scent I chose: Summer Lovin'

5 ml. Royal Roll-On, scent I chose: French Toast

B. 1 - 3 Pack Trial Size Royally Whipped Sugar Scrub

Scent I chose: Mango Milkshake, Pumpkinilla, Santa's Workshop

C. 1 - 2 oz. Royal Body Butta, I chose: Mango Milkshake

D. 2 - Royalty Roll Ons 5 ml. Glass Jojoba Oil Blend

I chose : Erotic Goddess, Sexy As Sin (Karma Sutra), and for free item: Caribbean Calypso. (there was a special offer, buy 2 get 1 free)

Plus..... additional free item, Royalty Roll Ons in Pink Sugar Type.

There are items that have matching scents because it's always better to layer the scent, it will strengthen the scent after application and lasts longer.

Sugar scrub & Body butta

What I've tried:

Sugar Scrub (Mango Milkshake): For me, the scrub granules is not mild enough. The positive thing is that, when I applied onto my wet skin, besides melting as it mixed with the water on my skin it changed form and cleaning the skin leaving nice smell.

Body Butta'(Mango Milkshake): With the same scent with sugar scrub, I felt yummy myself :)

The butter is so soft.

Hair Mist (Summer Lovin'): I sprayed on my 4 year old niece. She's lovin' it! The scent is long lasting and so nice, I can't keep myself away from my niece :)

Body Mist: Love it too!
