Shopping at Tony's

The other day, I was hanging out with stupid sister around Pavilion when we passed by Tony Roma's. Stupid sister was telling me, "One of these days, our brother will make it into the history of SKII because all Tony-s are famous!"

LOLX!

Reason was silly and yet predictable. Look at the CEO of Air Asia.


It's Tony Fernandez, baby!

Then, let's turn our heads back at look at the infamous restaurant.


It's Tony Roma's, okay, it's Tony! LOLX! Hahahaha...

Then after a while, we got to know the news that another Korean brand with the name Tony in it was brought into Malaysia!


It's Tony Moly, dearest people!

Finally, after waiting for quite some time, Tony Moly is in Malaysia and for all of you Malaysians out there who are not aware of it yet, currently, there are only two outlets available throughout Malaysia - JB and Sungei Wang, KL. The outlet in JB is somehow bigger than the one in KL, hence, when stupid sister and I dropped by yesterday, quite a number of products are not available in KL yet.

Anyway, this was our haul of the day!


Err... we should feel shameful to say this but, yes, we've spent again despite telling ourselves to finish up the existing products. Girls will forever be girls, I guess.


The total damage was more than RM300 and boy, it was scary because both of us did not expect to spend so much. Well, there was a 20% discount in conjunction of their official launching and opening.

I am not gonna review on all the products just yet but if you're interested in the prices of the products, I'll try to remember them for you and you'll be the judge if my memory fails me or not. I'll start with the skincare range but please be kind, okay? I'm not a computer or a robot to remember every single price.

Hauls and hauls!

Okay, I admit it, I love shopping.

In fact, I always go delirious whenever I see something I want stroke need stroke like stroke love stroke must buy. End of story.

LOLX - lame but true, I guess that's what majority girls do - they see something they want stroke need stroke like stroke love stroke must buy and then, they end up not using that something. Sounds familiar, right?

Owh, but this time around, I am sane, lemme repeat, I AM SANE enough to make decisions on what to buy and what not to buy!

I adore Sasatinnie's Apple Aqua Gel! Well... I'm finally done with the existing bottle!



The texture of this moisturizer is just amazing because it keeps my skin moisturized without that sticky and oily feeling. I was on Skin Doctor previously and hated it so much that I kinda threw it away after using it for like a week or so but this moisturizer is just something someone like me will like! So... I was mentioning, I'm done with this product already!

I know you don't trust me, hence, I've taken a picture to share it with you!



Can you see the empty apple-inspired packaging? LOLX! I kid you not, right, right? You should have trust me! Hahaha!

Yes, it finished a week ago and now I'm on Nature Republic's Green Tea Moisturizer. The packaging of it is something like the un-cute version of Tony Moly's Ice-Queen Series.



I shall mention about the Green Tea Moisturizer in next entry. So, yes! You've seen the empty packaging!

Hence, it means, it's time for more hauls since I am done with quite a number of products lately! Imma gonna blog about the finished products in next entry since May 2011 is coming to an end already!

So, today, stupid sister and I went to 1 Utama and spent the entire day there. Can you actually believe it? We freaking paid RM3 for the parking there when previously, for the 6 years I've been in KL or PJ, I've never paid more than RM1 for parking in 1 Utama. I guess we must have spent like erm... a good 7 hours there? Gawd... shopping is so sinful, just like chocolates!

Haul time!


Yes, my hair products from d' Hair Shop are finishing soon, especially the tonic but for RM39.90 to be spent on 120ml worth of product, erm... I'll have to reconsider. Even if they're having 50% off selected items, still, it's a little pricey. Hence, I'm gonna go back and get Audace's hair tonic soon - loving it's minty feeling and for RM46.90 or something like that, you'll be able to get around probably 250ml worth of product!

Anyway, most of the haul of today is for haircare - I know, you'll be thinking, "This girl's hair looks perfectly fine, why would she need so many haircare products?" Well, hello, ever heard of a Malay idiom that goes, "Rambut adalah mahkota wanita?" Hair or hairstyle can completely changes the way you look and for your information, my hair is insured!

LOLX!

I was pulling your legs.

Part of the reason why I hauled so many haircare products is that they're having promotions, meaning they're having price reductions of RM6 to RM15 at least! Hey, that's so worth it, okay?!

Clairol Herbal Essences Shampoo and Conditioner retail for RM16.90 each but I got them for RM10.88 each at Guardian! So, they're like around RM6 cheaper, so, why not just stock up since my shampoo from d' Hair Shop is gonna finish soon too!

Other than that, I hauled Sasatinnie Apple Aqua Gel too - promotion - buy one at normal price, buy second at only RM10. In which, it means, RM25 per product for the Fruit Garden Series.

The lady speed sticks that you're seeing in the picture... erm... I adore the smell because they smell like baby powder in which I've been trying to look for them for quite some time already but couldn't find it - luckily Guardian is carrying them at only RM5.50 each! So, I sapu-ed the last two!

Anyway, lemme just list the price if you're interested to get some of the items since they're having sales and promotions!

Argh... I can't remember all the prices there, hence, it's better for you to check them out on your own since their products, for me, are categorized under affordable range. Well... of course if you're expecting something like Sephora, you should just go to Sephora instead of Etude House.

Honestly, I've tried several masks from Etude House - not bad and the essence from the mask can be absorbed easily by our skin. For a mere RM12 for 5 pieces of masks, it's worth it!

Oh, if you're wondering how much I've spent - not exceeding RM100 inclusive or car petrol and parking, hence... what say you?

Anyway, done with the haul and Imma gonna check out my cousin's Lioele counter either at The Mall or Sg. Wang tomorrow. Let's see if I'm able to wake up or not - wish me luck!

Have a wonderful weekend, people! I shall talk to you guys soon!

Good night to the late owls and good morning to the early birds!

Sephora Malaysia

I don't know about you but when I first heard Sephora is coming to Malaysia, I went, "Yay!" although stupid sister went, "Nay! You're obviously gonna overspend again when Sephora is officially open to the public!"

So, I marked 28th April 2011 in my personal calendar and even though I missed the grand opening, I managed to go there on the 29th. I thought of avoiding crowds of Sephora fans and it appeared that on 29th, when I was there, there were crowds everywhere in Sephora.

The thing is... before I went to Sephora, I thought the price should have been marked up like crazy since in Malaysia, everything is marked up. You don't have to agree with me but if you've been overseas, you'll know what I've said is true.

Take for example at Forever 21, the price of each piece of clothing can differ around RM10 to RM30. I saw a hoodie being sold for only 890 Baht, that is approximately RM89, whereas I saw the exactly same hoodie at RM119. So, you tell me, is the price being marked up? Talking about Forever 21, hey... I bought another top. Hahahaha... I went into F21 and grabbed the 2 pieces of top below into the fitting room but at the end of the shopping trip, I only bought one because I thought leopard print tops look horrendous on me!


A total waste of moo-lah. Hahahaha... but, I have a love affair with Forever 21, remember? I'm very much in love with their clothing, so don't hate me!

Alright, sorry to have diverted your attention.

Anyway, the first counter that I noticed upon entering Sephora at Starhill Gallery - Urban Decay! Yes, Urban Decay is finally in Malaysia and I won't need to wait months and months to get their products!


I wasn't expecting much of the prices of these makeup products in Sephora Malaysia to be cheap but I went there anyway - curiosity kills the cat but I am not dead, don't worry. In fact, I found myself surviving my wallet through the entire visit there. LOLX!

I spent on nothing because I'm trying to be a smart shopper nowadays. If I like a product, I won't buy it straight away. I'll leave it and if I crave and crave for it for the next few days, I'll go back and get it but if I don't crave for it, I normally will leave it.

When I saw the prices of Urban Decay products, I almost screamed! No, it wasn't because the prices are marked up! No, no, no! The reason was that the prices are so much cheaper than I expected them to be!

Remember the entry when I blogged about UD Naked?


I got it for RM200 exclusive of poslaju. The thing is... I thought RM200 is kinda hefty for a palette but since UD wasn't available in Malaysia yet that time, I thought it'd worth it but when I come to think of that now, RM210 plus poslaju for a single palette is not worth it at all even though I do understand international shipping isn't cheap.

Sighs... I wasted RM35 for this palette because you know what? It retails at Sephora Malaysia for only RM175!

Even for UDPP, I saw the prices online range from around RM65 to RM100 - not UDPP in tube since it's not available in Sephora Malaysia. I expected it to be around RM80 to RM90 but it's much cheaper!

Hey, that isn't so bad, right?

Okay, enough about UD, let's see what else Sephora Malaysia brought in aside from the infamous UD...


Basically, you can find quite a lot of new stuffs ranging from Ardell Lashes, Bare Minerals, Too Faced, Clarisonic, Peter Thomas Roth, Soap & Glory and also Makeup by Sephora. There are also bath and shower as well as skincare products by Sephora in store. Other brands like SKII, Biotherm, Lancome, Smashbox, Makeup Forever, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla are also available but well, these brands are nothing new to us.

Only then, I realized NARS, Tokidoki, Temptu, Philosophy, Tarte, Illamasqua, Kat Von D, YSL and a lot of other brands are not available in our Sephora. I'm actually burning to get Tarte and Kat Von D products but well... the good thing is, I can forget about them for a while until they're available while the bad thing is, I don't think they'll be available at the nearest time.

Anyway, if you're wondering about the prices of the makeup and skincare products there, I managed to remember some of them roughly but mostly UD products since they're my pure love!

UD Naked Palette - RM75 <-- Sorry, I've made a mistake, it's RM175
UD Ammo Palette - RM145
UD Sustainable Shadow Box - RM145
UD Deluxe Shadow Box - RM145
UDPP - RM65 to RM75
UD 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil - RM75
UD Eyeshadow - RM69
UD Deluxe Eyeshadow - RM70 to RM80

Too Faced Shadow Insurance - RM65 to RM75
Too Faced Naked Eye Palettes - RM150 to RM180

Sephora Foundation - RM55
Sephora Highlighter / Bronzer - RM50 to RM55

I can't really remember Too Faced products prices because I took a look at the Naked Eye palette and thought, "Bah, too expensive and so little choices!" I went from one item to another at Too Faced's counter and found myself not awed by any, I don't know why. Well, it could be the price, I guess... I mean, comparing to UD and personal preference, I still think UD is more worth it.

Well, I'll update the price list if I'm passing by Sephora again in future. As of now... gonna get some nap before work time later!

Have a wonderful Thursday and as for tomorrow, it's TGIF!
