After 10 years of being together, they finally tie the knots! I was so happy for them. She looked like a princess and the wedding was awesome. I had so much fun catching up with my girl friends.
I was one of the dayangs for the wedding. And we walked down the isle to the pelamin. Since it was the most anticipated event in everyone of us's calender, I have to put a lot of effort to look really good. I think the Duchess place did a very good job as well to prepare for the event. It was one of the best wedding ive ever attended.
So what happened was, the girls hired someone to do the make up for thm. I wanted to join for the make up session as well but I dont think there were enough time for me to join them. And i didnt sleep the day before cos I was so busy doing the video montage for my brother in laws wedding. On the same day, I had to run everywhere which irritated my husband to the bits since I was not available for the family pictures session. I was quite upset as well but I cant turn back the time. There was a pang of regrets there that I wish I could have just stayed.
Anyway, I rushed to KLCC to buy some make ups from Sephora. I'm not so fancy about sephora much cos i think the price is almost similar to other places. Like, if you are looking to buy Benefits product, it will cost you the same in Parkson. So, since I am a big sucker for Loyalty Programs like BonusLink for instant, buying in Sephora is a big no-no since I can accumulate my points with BonusLink. I somehow think Sephora is too overrated. Lets just wait for better offers from sephora in the future.
Tho i think Sephora is overrated, their products on the other hand is worth buying. There's a promotion going on for a make up palette, worth RM790 that I bought for only RM139 (if purchase other products worth RM150) I ended up with a total of RM 321.90.
I just loveeeeeeee the make up palette!! IT IS WORTH BUYING!The color make up palate contains 66 colors in it. including magnetic makeup palette with a mini palette that hols up to 8 colors, so it is easy to customize and take wherever you want. In the 66 colors, it has 40 eye shadows color, 5 gel eyeliner, 15 lip gloss and lip colors, 4 blush and 2 bronzing powder. Talk about a real bargain, this is it, costs only RM179 (RM139 if purchase RM150 worth of other products)
Since I have been using the same foundation like a decade ago, cos I dont really wear them, I thought it will be wise to spend another RM69 on a new foundation. Actually, I was looking for that another RM150 to spend on. I bought the Perfect Cover Foundation (no20 Clair Light) and it was ok to me. Nothing fancy cos it works like any other foundation. Of course it feels better than the Maybelline I had cos I only spent RM20 for that. On top of that, I bought the loose powder (no03 natural apricot) for RM59. It was ok too. The price range and the product are almost similar to Revlon so I guess it doesnt really deserve the real oh so awesome comment from me. But the color palette promotion is really oh so awesome only if you purchase it for RM179. Definitely I wouldnt even think twice about not buying it if it was sold for RM790.
After applying the foundation, I applied the loose powder on top. I wouldnt choose any color lighter than the medium color that I bought because it will only make my face look like Chinese opera singer haha. Of course, after the foundation, concealer and loose powder, my face look definitely RADIANT.
The best part of the whole shopping in Sephora yesterday was I discovered a few new brands. I am a sucker for Benefit cos the products are cool and I love the packaging and the long lasting product usually last. When I went to sephora, I discovered a lot of other new brands like Too Faced, Urban Decay and more. They are expensive, of course but if you really spend some time there, you'll manage to grab the best bargain each brands can offer. Most of the brands offers similar items so you need to take a real good time to spend on just to comparing these items. Example: Smokey eyes palette, you can choose to buy from a few brands like Benefit, Sephora and Too Faced just to name a few. Check out their website, search for smokey eyes and a few brands will appear.
I also love the bath section, where it has all sort of cool stuff you can use in you bath tub. Once in a while, maybe once a month, every girl deserves to be pampered in a cozy hot bubble bath. I'll get them next month :)
The only thing I dont really fancy about the whole store is that none of the promoter there are there to assist me. Frankly, I was so selebet on that day, I looked like a Filipino maid. So, does that mean I dont have the money to spend or what? I had to walk around to find someone to assist me with my queries and of course, a few helped when asked. They are all busy with other customer(who btw, were only there to check out the newly opened store and frankly do not want to spend?) But only one promoter could see beyond the selebetness and actually asked me 'you do wear make up right? I can see you just choose not to wear them today' which I find quite impressive cos when everybody is looking at me like WTF, this guy actually come to me and tried to sell me somthing. Tho its not much help cos hes selling me perfume which is the last on my list. haha. I forgot to have his name but I'll try to find out next time and I will send your manager a compliment on you, and complain on you colleagues.
I also bought a new brand which I have only discovered when they opened the store, its called BaviPhat. I know I am a sucker for korean drama but I am not too fancy about their cosmetics. I know they have brands like Elianto, Etude, Skin Food and etc. I do buy them occasionally but sometimes, the price is too cheap makes me wonder if they are any good. But BaviPhat is so cool. I love the packaging and the whole concept etc. The main reason why I bought myself the Peach Face mask was because I really love it. It smells so good and apparently it is really good on my face. No Kidding! and its only RM49! I'd love to buy other items on their shelves but it was too much for me to digest and filter what I want and what I need and what I can affort T_T
The whole packaging was too cute for words! It comes with a spoon inside. There were a few fruits to choose from like mango, strawberry, apple and etc. They all have different texture, purpose and the way of using them. Basically, for the one I bought, Peach Face Mask is so awesome because you only need a spoon, apply it on your face. Rub it over and it will become flaky like the picture above. IT actually removes the dead cells on your skin as well as the unwanted dirts.
Finally, after that Kaching!, I went straight back home and packed for the wedding. I reached the Duchess Place at Jalan Ampang at around 630PM. I rushed up and get ready. I had no idea what kind of look to pull. I had no idea at all how to set my hair and etc since all of the other dayangs are wearing their fancy dress and had their makeup done by a professional. Since I am very selebet and simple person, I just go for the easiest way which to let my hair go. I had some baby's breath in my hair and my hair was set aside and let down. I kinda thought I rocked the whole night cos I did the makeup and the hair myself.
I had so much fun last night!!
