Expo and other hauls

*click to enlarge pics

Although the expo sucked, I managed to spend bout RM 250 there.

I even went back on the last day (yesterday) to get more of whatever I bought on the first day, spending another good 200 bucks. I'm happy with my purchases but my wallet isn't exactly over the moon right now.

Anyway, here's what I got from the expo.

 

 

These are the natural holistic healing skincare products that I've mentioned from the previous post. The big bottle is a mango + passion fruit body milk which is currently my HG moisturiser and the small packets are various scrubs and masques. The salesperson even convinced me to get a natural bowl and spoon set. I've only used them once but they were good enough to make me go back to the sucky expo to buy more!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The nice lady, Sophia, who guided me through the products recommended the green tea scrub, the tangerine and honey masque and yoghurt masque for my face after I told her about my face's condition. She even did a spot test on my hand to show me how well they actually work.

 

 

 

 

 

When I told her about my eczema condition on the legs, she picked up a few more products for me. This time, she picked the egg and honey scrub, soy rice masque and the body milk. I've tried them on the very night I bought them and then I went back for more. haha. If you have eczema, you HAVE TO try these out.

 

 

 

On top of stocking up on what I've purchased, I bought an extra passion fruit scrub for my face. These babies smell so heavenly that I almost ended eating them up and because I have absolutely nothing bad to say about them, they deserve a proper review on its own. The bad news is they only supply these gems to spas (few of the top spas in M'sia buy their stuff!!) and sell it to public during this kind of expo. I bought enough to last me a few good months and if I still love them as much as I do now, they will be in another beauty expo this coming September and I will definitely buy in bulks!! 

For those who really want to try them out, the is a similar expo which is currently going on at the PWTC. Go check out the Bali Tangi booth!! Oh, they are very very affordable too. Each 100gm pack is only RM 15 or RM 85 for the 1 kg salon sizes while the body milk is only RM 65.

Besides these babies, I managed to grab a few ChinaGlaze nail polishes. I've only heard of this brand from beauty bloggers from the States and I didn't even know they were available here. The best part was the fact that they were selling them at such low price and when I found out that they are actually better than OPI, I went back for more!

 

As you can see, I'm not a very adventurous person when it comes to nails. The first two shades are for french manicure while the rest are mainly beige/pink shades. The red is for my toenails. I don't know why but I only wear red for my toenails but when I went back the other day, I actually got a little less boring and got a deep purple, bright blue..erm another bottle of the same red and more pink shades.

 

I also bought a top coat that works as a base coat too and since I am going to use it twice as much, I got myself another bottle. They were such a steal because a 50% discount was given when you purchase more than 6 bottles which means they were RM 17.50 each!! HOW TO RESIST?????

After spending a lot of time choosing shades, my bf and I decided to leave the expo because there were nothing else to look at. So, we went to the mall (Suria KLCC) for more shopping!! 

 

First stop was Sasa to buy accesories such as SallyHansen's French Manicure Guide (because i can't draw straight lines!!), a pair of toe separators and a pump bottle for the body milk that can actually fill up almost 6-7 full bottles. Then, I went lurking in Watson's and found Canmake's EyeLash Essence. I absolutely had to get it after reading about how great it is on Vivawoman.net. Personally, I think this little blue tube, priced at RM 27.90 before 20% off, is more magical than great!

We went to SakaeSushi next and since the bf was such a sweetheart the whole day, I paid for dinner. It was all very nice until I accidentally knocked my glass over and had green tea on my fairly new coach bag, my jeans and my new pair of wedges.

After dinner, we walked around a little more and I almost bought a pair of jeans from Zara. I wanted to buy these cute flat pumps from GAP but to bad they didn't have my size. The bf, after seeing how my day was sucky continuosly, encouraged me to go into MAC and told me that he would buy me presents. I love presents!!

If you are in Malaysia and have been getting terrible service from MAC's SA, you haven't been to the one in KLCC because everyone there was so friendly and helpful! I was checking out the Sci-fi collection when the SA told me that they've just launched Heatherrette. She must have seen my confused look because after saying that, she quickly added that the collection was actually lauched a very long time ago in the States but just recently in Asia. I didn't bother looking at them because I only wanted the lipstick in lollipop loving and I already have it since a couple of months ago.

I was planning on getting some tendertones but after testing them out, I wasn't too convinced and ended up with 2 slimshines instead since I don't own any.

 

 

 

The one on the left is Gaily while the one on the right is Bare. I love my SN's lippies but these slimshines are currently my favourite and Bare is my new HG for nude/mlbb lippie!! I still love my SN's lippie very much tho.

 

 

 

 

 

I went home after that because it was already 10pm and all the shops were closing and my bf told me he hasn't been able to feel his legs (and I was the one is 3.5-inch wedges!!) since 4 hours ago. It was then when I realised that we have been out for almost 10 hours.

I have a lot more pictures to post from other recent hauls but this post is getting way too long. So, here's a final picture of everything that I bought that day.
