Haul from Miri!

I went down to Miri last week and from the tweets I read, a lot of Bruneians went down as well. Saw a few friends here and there in some of the malls and seeing them again reminds me that school is about to start soon because everyone's doing some last minute retail therapy! Anyways most of the pictures in this post are taken in my home's backyard. Just thought I'd switch it up every once in a while. Hope you guys like it as much as I do!

I finally got to visit Sasa for the first time! And to my horror, Stage cosmetics is no longer available in Parkson! Ugh what happened?? I must be the last person to find out that they closed down, since I hardly ever go down to Miri. I always bought my brush cleanser from Stage, now I don't know where else to find a good one. Maybe DIY them??

The Balm blusher in Cabana boy and eyeshadow Palette Nude'tude

I'm so glad Sasa have Nude'tude in stock! Coz the last time I asked a friend and she said it was sold out when she went there. Score for me!! haha What's more I got it for only RM85! It was discounted from RM115! The blusher also has a discount but I really don't remember how much I paid for them in total. I just know I'm happy haha Actually I'm surprised at myself for being so good, I thought I would go crazy in Sasa but apparently not. *patselfonback*

But now I'm eyeing Za's Cheeks Groovy blushers. They look so darn gorgeous! One of the shades look so much like Nars Orgasm!

Za's Cheeks Groovy blushers. Can you tell which of them looks like Nars Orgasm blush? 

 

Falsies!

I walk past one of these booths in Parkson selling fragrances and saw that they sell false eyelashes too. Many of the shops there even sell the Ardell falsies but those costs RM22! B$10 for a pair of lashes? Heck no! So I got these instead. A box for RM12! I know you can get them for far cheaper online or wherever but these are good enough for me! I go through these really slowly so I know two boxes are gonna last me a while. 

SasaTinnie makeup remover wipes

These makeup remover wipes are on sale in Sasa for 50% off so I just grabbed them. They smell a little funky but works wonders! I normally just use the regular wet wipes to remove my makeup so these are perfect. Plus they claim to have all these ingredients that are supposedly good for the skin so I thought why not. 

I bought a new wallet! Finally! I bought this in Parkson where they always have this super awesome 10%-70% sale going on all the time there and my favourite thing to do is rake through all the bags, wallet and clutches to see if I can find any good deals and most of the time, I do! I like that all the stuff there has a brand and it reassures me that at least the stuff have quality.

 

Two random pair of earrings bought last minute just before we left for home. The earrings on the right is super cute. Reminds me of an atom. The hoop earrings is a purple color but it gives of a pink shine in another light, so pretty! Much like the popular duo chrome nail polishes!

 

Last but not least...

 

I bought a dreamcatcher! I was so surprised when I saw this in Boulevard. Me and the siblings we just stepped on the elevator going up and I turned left and there was this stall hanging all of these beautiful dreamcatchers! I almost screamed I kid you not! I wanted to run down the elevator and charge towards the stall so bad but Shala insisted that we eat lunch first lol So we ate and I half-walked-half-ran back to the stall...

A stalk-ish photo of the stall. lol

As you can see this dreamcatcher is not that big at all but it is quite pricey for what it is! But if you know me you know how pretty much obsessed I am with dreamcatchers (see my blog header lol) so I'm glad I got one!

The Body Shop mini haul

I've always been in love with TBS's body butter so I was excited to explore the shop once again after God knows how many months. Plus I have the birthday vouchers to use up but luckily for me the store is actually having a sale nationwide till the end of this May. 15% off all makeup items and 20% off all body and skincare items. As usual, I ventured to the lotion section. Here's some stuff that I got:

I've tried quite a lot of their body butters and my most favourite has always been the Moringa and Strawberry body butter! But this time I opted for one of the body butter from their recent-ishly launched body products collection; Chocomania. OMG. It smells so yummy!!

 

Chocomania body butter (retails B$24.90)

This smells like a mixture of chocolate and caramel. Claims to give a 48hr feel-good hydration but I'll never know because I don't wanna walk around for two days smelling like this, as much as I like the scent! TBS usually have body butters for normal skin as well as for dry skin but I think they all pretty much moisturizes the skin equally as good so I try to find one which smells the best!

 

Chocomania body soap and shower cream (retails B$5.90 and B$11.90 respectively)

I don't know why I bought the soap but I think it's coz the shape is too cute to resist! And I know I will be getting the 20% off so I just grabbed it. Sometimes I just can't resist impulse buying.. I tried the shower cream and I feel like I'm putting melted chocolate on my skin! I can't help but laugh at myself in the shower when I put this on because it feels like I'm slabbing food on instead of soap. The dark brown color of the shower cream doesn't help haha

The shower cream doesn't lather up very much but many of TBS's shower gel doesn't so no surprises there.

See there's even a label warning people that the shower cream cannot be eaten and must be keep out of reach of children!

  Strawberry body butter 300ml (retails B$32.90)

This is another one of my favourite body butters from TBS! Smells divine I tell you, divine! I know I won't get sick of this scent so I went ahead and bought the big tub. Though they are a bit pricey, these can last you quite a while! I read from somewhere that body butters are supposedly applied to the body when the skin is still damp but I find that it's harder to apply that way because well, the skin is still damp haha so I normally use them like I would a lotion. I prefer body butter to lotion because they have a thicker consistency and my skin is very much on the dryer side so I needed the extra protection the body butter gives!

Try and give the Chocomania collection a good sniff the next time you visit TBS if you haven't already. I know not everyone's gonna love the scent but I have to say, they smell pretty darn delicious!
