(Hippopo is in Heaty Mode)

Yes, I do pedicures and manicures for myself, but not a professional level (anyway, not even meet intermediate level requirement :))....

I bought this French nail polish kits in Face Shop, its come with (base coat, white color nail polish & stickers in finger tips's shape).....
Anyways, they're user-freindly (can't find a more suitable word to express it)) plus, they're not as expensive as other brands, its only costed RM19.90....and i proudly says to myself "Good find!!!" and thanks Ann Ann for her recommendation.....

All my GIRL-FRIENDS...Here we go~~

base coat, white color nail polish & stickers in finger tips's
shape come with a little cuite bag


Step 1: files nails into square shape (if possible...btw, mine one out of shape)

Step 2: apply nail base coat (usually i will start in the middle and work my way to sides)

Step 3: tear the sticker provided and stick on top of the finger tip accordingly (this is only applied for the people who are beginner like me :D)

Step 4: Now, apply white color nail polish on the tip (again, start in the middle and work to sides) and let it dry, then add second coat...again, let it dry

Step 5: remove the stickers and apply nail top coat to make it shine(nail top coat not come together with the package, but you can use the base coat to replace it, the result is still the same :D)

Draft this post last 2 weeks & till tonight only able to complete and post it....By the way, Someone (yes, is you!!)complaining my blog have too many words ...so i will make it short for this post....

Bought the Benefit goodies at gurney plaza while shopping with Julie on 1st saturday of May.....very excited while see this goodies, of cause the product inside are nice also...especially the benetint...when the make-up artist applied it on my face, it became 3D and shine immediately...really love this BENETINT!!(make my face smaller!!) and another product called You Rebel Lite use for replace the moisturizer, sunblock & foundation while we are on the rush...we can get the result by just simply apply it on our face (its help us to save 3 steps) and for Dandelion, i'm yet to try it, but from Benefit official website, it is on the top selling list (http://www.benefitcosmetics.com )
so....lets see some product pictures...(maybe you gonna get it after viewing the pictures)


You Rebel Lite, Benetint & Dandelion from Benefit
See, how nice the packaging look like...(i really can't resist it)


1. 2. 3.

1. You Rebel Lite - SPF 15 tinted moisturizer, 2008 Life & Style Best of Beauty Awards "Best tinted moisturizer"

2. Benetint - rose-tinted lip & cheek stain
(Tips and tricks from Benefits official website: Draw three small stripes across the apple of your cheek. Blend in a circular motion with fingertips. Apply benetint to lips with a clean q-tip... even after your lipstick wears off you'll still have a rosy glow!)

3. Dandelion - a brightening face powder
(Tips and tricks: Sweep the brush across the powder a few times, then tap off any excess. Brush lightly on to the apples of your cheeks in an outward motion. For the final touch, lightly brush all over your complexion)

Last Monday, when i was editing the review of the book "Time Travelers's Wife" which i want to post it long time ago, i've recieved a msn message from Julie (now, she is officially declared as my permanent shopping partner, as she always have a good taste and never disappoint me.)

Well, this was the conversation on MSN......

and there are only costed RM108.00

Clarisa: WHAT!!! are you sure?

Julie: Ya...i just have it at my lunch time and faster go and grap it before it sold out..it is limited set...

Clarisa: OKOK!! i will go and grap it after work (At this moment, i'm sure i want to have one too)

Julie: btw, I'm free tonight....want to come out & have a dinner plus we can go to buy the mascare set together...

Clarisa: Urmmm.......i've dated my bf but you have to give me 5 minutes to think bout it 1st.............
-end-

Haha, of cause i didn't cancel the dating with my bf, i've still visiting him on that day after work but i told him that i want to go out with Julie for a dinner (never mentioned the Mascara Set of cause:) :) ) and he is always so kind and always letting me go to wherever i want to go....Thanks JC for your kindness.....

QUEENSBAY MALL!!- ESTEE LAUDER!!!- MASCARA SET!!!!...Here I Come!!!!!!!....


we are heading to the Estee Lauder counter as we reached Queensbay(Julie bought me a mexico bun to filled something into my stomach 1st) and asked the sales consultant to show us the mascara set, while holding the mascara set, i know for sure it will become mine for a next 3 minutes and the sales consultant kept promoting the other product that they are currently doing promotion but i refused to see it anymore (yeah!! I can control myself not buying anything but just the mascara set :))

I've took the picture to share here....



Mascara Set from Estee Lauder (My 1st expensive Mascara)

We went to G2000 look for some pants after leaving Estee Lauder counter, as i really need some scatcable and nice PANTS but not skirt (as i always told all my friend i worked in construction site and........i really do....)for working. Well, very surprise that my body fit well with G2000 pants design...with Julie approval, i'm only allow to buy 2 pcs although i choosen 3 and she claimed that i'm not allow to spend more than RM350 in one bill, it is consdered over spending and she is really concerned my "pocket"( Although I m the one who pay it...haha..btw, thanks for your advise)

After leaving G2000, we've passed by a accesoories shop and all the accesories in this shop have 50% discount and here are the hair pins that i bought.......it totally costed me RM20.00.




I can wear it to speical occation with my beautiful gown(btw the pins with star design actually is for Julie to thanks her buyig me the mexico bun)

Well, I've missed out some important place that we have entered actually but not buying anything YET...not sure that are anyone else recieve a message from Esprit stated that they are having a great promotion which is buying 3 pcs top or bottom in one bill entitled to get another 10% + 15% discount (if you are member) on top of 50 % ..........I've choosen 3 design in to my shopping basket but unfortunately 1 of the top dont have the size i want(so, i m not entiled to have 10+15% discount)....no choice...i've to leave it aside without want to think it anymore (I have anther plan in my mind actually:) :) )

We left there at 10pm and heading to Apex cafe nearby Queensbay to have our dinner.....the overall process is tiring but enjoy (gals never says they are not enjoy in shopping)..

Lastly, have to thanks both J, Julie fo accompany me to shopping, and JC for helping me to take the picture of my new bought comestics, hairpins, misc and putting a nice nice words on top of the pictures (a bit guity by not telling him actually i want to go shopping at that time plus i was sleeping while he is helping me to edit the picture :) :) )

Small Note: I've bought 3 pcs top from Esprit after 2 days, its total costed me about RM120 after getting discount 50%+10%15%)....and on Labour day holiday, went out with JC and buy myself another 3 pairs of earing with different shapes (RM3,90 per pair))....and Finally, i've already confessed to my lovely bf about all my shopping goodies....(we got no secret:)...cheers to all shopaholics!!)
