A few things caught my eye (and pocket) today as I roamed about Queensbay Mall whilst waiting for my girlfriends for dinner.
1. Stage Cosmetics face brush (TB6000-01) – really soft bristles, but it costs around RM135. I was very tempted to get one, but at that price, should I just pay a little more for a makeup brush of a more reputable brand? Or do I already have too many makeup brushes to begin with? *gulp*
2. The Body Shop’s Body Butter in Japanese Cherry Blossom – the sales assistant told me that if I were to buy anything from the range, including the perfume, I can get a 20% discount. But I don’t need the EDT. She still claims that the body butter’s cheaper if I get the both of them. But I don’t need the EDT. RM65 vs. RM115. You do the math. I bought just the body butter, and absolutely adore the scent (if you’re not into floral fragrances, this would turn you off).
3. Majolica Majorca’s eyeshadows – I’m quite impressed with the colour pay-off. I did not have high expectations of this one as I thought the texture would be gritty and the colours sheer, but they turned out to be rather creamy. Suffice to say, I came out of Watsons with one in pink. Oh, and Watsons is having a 10% discount on Majolica Majorca too, if you’re interested.
4. Eucerin’s Anti Age Hyaluron-Filler Wrinkle-Filling Treatment Night Moisturiser – Paris’ review on the Hydro Balance moisturiser really got me hooked on the stuff. It has replaced the Clinique Moisture Surge which I’ve been using, does the same job, but at a much lower price. The Hyaluron-Filler night moisturiser caught my eye. I figured it was no harm giving it a go, since the Hydro Balance did not disappoint. I shall review it in due time.
5. Tampons – Much cheaper here. Needless to say, I’ve stocked up enough to last me quite a while.
Oh, and the sales assistant (or was he a makeup artist as well?) at Stage commented on how lovely the Envirosax bag I was carrying was. Aww. ‘Tis sad on how much plastics bags are used here. Even a tiny mobile phone pouch required a bag. Le sigh.
*chant* Got to stop buying stuff I don’t need. Got to stop buying stuff I don’t need. *chant*

Ooooh … would you look at that shimmer brick by The Body Shop? Sweet!
Thirty-something. Gemini. Happily married. Loves shopping. Has an unhealthy adoration for bags and chocolate. Uses sunscreen religiously. Hates baked beans with a vengeance. Thinks that the weekdays should be a weekend long, vice versa. Optimistic. Narcissistic. Not the average Jane.

Ohhh… you got your hands on the Japanese Cherry Blossom stuff di!! And the 10% off for MM stuff sounds great ya!! I can’t wait to go do some serious shopping!! hehehe!!
I always think I’m just window shopping! xDD
Don’t you love Majolica!!!
Do they sell Majolica mascaras too? Oh god if they do can you buy like 34209835 tubes for me and I’ll pay you back when you get back to Melbourne?
Goodness girl! I just left you a few hours ago after dinner last night and you’ve got all your buys listed out alredy. You sure work fast!
you are back girl!! I saw the photos from the Malaysian friends and you obviously had a great time with beauty bloggers!!!!
Ohh window shopping, I love that! but my wallet ain’t happy if I go window shopping, coz the window gets removed! LOL
MJ single shadows are now around rm17 in watsons!
grab them if u like them!
so much for the windows shopping :p
yay for the shopaholicness in us!
Eh I’ve been thinking of trying the Hyaluron thing too – must keep the wrinklies at bay yes?
As for the rest, No. 1 pass, No. 2 not my scent, No.3 is only ok in my book, No. 5 no comment but i know I used to stock up on sanitary napkins every Summer!
eh eh eh. I also want majolica es la. I go see wat colour. Your suitcase got space?
Ahh… don’t you just ‘hate’ shopping… makes you broke and want more things that you probably don’t need. I <3 Eco bags! I have two now and I’m thinking of getting another one from daiso for my other bags. :p Stores here LOVE giving out plastic bags! i’m trying my best to refuse them but some people can be very insistent. If I tell them I don’t want the plastic bag, they’d look at me as if I’ve overpaid for a product or something -_-” I like supermarket plastic bags though. I reuse them for garbage.
Hey dearie… errmm.. on the Stage brushes. I really feel that they’re not quite worth the amount they cost. For synthetic brushes, they’re rather flimsy, and nowhere near the quality of EM brushes which only cost a fraction of Stage brushes. Also, they shed quite badly (even in the short period when we had the chance to play with them a while back), and some brushes are very scratchy.
If you wanna get a face/ blush brush, you can already get a MAC #129 for RM130, which I got recently. It’s pony hair and very very very soft as well. I think it’s so much more worth it.
Just my 2-cents worth. =P
Everything starts with “I thought I was just window shopping”, doesn’t it? *Winks*
I always tend to go overboard with shopping whenever I come back from Oz because everything seems SO cheap! The only limitation is – baggage limits!! Bummer! :/
don’t buy the state brushes!!! they are too expensive. go to get thseo Etude House ones as they are just as good and they are made of pony hair.
ps: i found out etude house is onlg going to penang. but the 5th store is in ipoh parade.
I love Bath and Body Works body butters!
