I got this gift from my friends on my birthday @ July, 2009 and she told me it is limited edition product from faceshop...see, how lucky am I....

last thursday when i'm doing birthday gift hunting for my friend, and yes, i've found this, the sales girl told me it is new released product.....but i got it 5 months ago.... :) :> ;)......(whatever la).

It is 4-in-1 make-up enhancer kit for flawless canvas and it contains 1.Highlighter - bring the radiance to the face, 2.Pore Concealer - to cover visible pores, 3.Eyeshadow Base - to prevent creasing and enhances the color and 4.Plumping Lip Base - moisturizing lip plumper for fuller and smoother lips and 5. 2-way brush applicator.

I used it daily only on 3.Eyeshadow Base and 4.Plumping Lip base. I'm hardly believing that it really work for eyeshadow base, it prevent creasing and enhances the color intensity, staying power of eyeshadow up to 8-10 hours. and for plumping Lip Base, i used it to replace lip gloss, very light, not really plumping, however, it is very moisturizing .....

I've skipped 1.highlighter, it is because the highlighter is cream based with fine shimmers and i'm prefered matt finishing on my eyes. I've skipped the 2.green cream-based concealer as well as i have prefered brand for myself, maybe i should try it on my next make-up application......

All my girlfriends, no regret to try it, RM39.90/kit @ Faceshop......and i'm going to give it to my friend as her birthday gift on Monday celebration (how lucky she is....) :) :)

Happy Make-over!!!!!

Soooooo nice to sit back and relax (with the book Shopaholic & Sister) at my bed right now......really exhausted as i'm working non-stop since Friday to Sunday (for Homedec'09 exhibition).....

My back is pain, i'm having migraine continously 3 days (eating pain killers in order for me to survive in these 3 days working non-stop, from 10am to 9pm), changing few pairs of shoes in a day(almost 4 pairs, i guess).....and you wont expect that i'm having toothache right now :( as i'm chewing "bubble gum" non stop along this 3 days to prevent bad breath while explaining the product to visitors..... the only phrase i wan to shout out right now is.....

"NO MORE EXHIBITIONS PLEASE!!!!!!"

p/s: btw, i got a not bad result through these 3days, few orders came in :), the photo as below is took & edit by JC(http://www.yinphotography.c0m/) and hope that i will have a good sleep this entire week for recovery.....

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)

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)

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!!)
