Review: Kanebo T’estimo Serumdrape Rouge

4 March 2008 | Tine

I’ve been meaning to review this for a long time now, but with all the big events going on for the past 3 months, I had to put this on hold.

This is a very special piece of lipstick, because it was my very first Christmas pressie from a blogger-pal! I really didn’t expect it, but this came from the very lovely Paris Beaverbanks *woot!!* Yep, I was woot-ing quite a bit when I got this on the mail 😉

I’ve never actually bought any lipsticks from Kanebo before; in fact this would be one of the two Kanebo lipsticks I own (the other was also a gift). Not that I have anything against Kanebo lipsticks, but being such a cheapskate, I have never spent anything over RM50 for a lipstick. So imagine my delight to get a T’estimo lippie!

Serumdrape Rouge RS-233

The Serumdrape Rouge is very smooth on the lips, and the colour stays on for a couple of hours before I have to reapply. It doesn’t dry my lips, which some lippies do. I love the colour (looks dark, but it gives a sheer pink stain on th lips), and especially the pearly look of the lipstick from the outside. Luxurious look indeed :p

As this is a gift, I’m afraid I have no idea how much this costs. Still, being a T’estimo, I know it doesn’t come cheap, thus I only save this for special occasions.

Many, many thanks to Paris for gift 🙂

What I like about it: Glides very smoothly on the lips, and is pretty moisturising. Love the pearly case of the lippie.

What I did not like about it: Nothing. I love it!

L’Occitane Freebies

3 March 2008 | Tine

Many thanks to Geekchic, who posted a link to L’Occitane freebies on her blog. You know me, I can’t resist free samples, so I printed the voucher, and headed to the L’Occitane store at Chadstone to collect me freebies.

The sales assistant was pretty nice; she gave me an extra sample of the shea hand cream on top of the said samples.

I obviously wasn’t as good as Geekchic when it comes to getting more freebies; just check out the stash she snagged! *green with envy*

Still, I’m pretty happy with mine :p

Click here for the L’Occitane freebies. Please note that this is only available in the L’Occitane stores in Australia, and is valid until 18 March 2008.

Makeup Goodies

28 February 2008 | Tine

Check out what I bought at Priceline yesterday.

All of these are the items I’ve seen in international magazines, but not available in Malaysia. There’s Loreal’s Bare Naturale Powdered Mineral Foundation, Loreal’s True Match Super-Blendable Powder and CoverGirl’s Volume Exact Mascara. Technically, I didn’t buy the pressed powder. It was a free gift with any Loreal foundation purchased. Not bad, eh? 😉

Yippee, can’t wait to try ’em out and give ’em reviews.

Priceline, how I love thee :p

Outlet Shopping at Esprit

24 February 2008 | Tine

Went to Brand Smart on Sunday. It’s one of ’em factory outlet emporiums in Melbourne. We passed the store on the way to Chadstone, and I figured we’d drop by just to have a look. Anyways, yadda yadda yadda, to cut the long story short, we headed to the Esprit outlet store. I’m not a fan of Esprit clothing now (I was, when I was young, when I thought it was such an IN brand. Esprit’s ridiculously priced in Malaysia anyway), but since there was an-up-to-70%-discount sale going on, I thought we’d check it out.

As usual, I didn’t see much of what I’d like in Esprit, but I did pick up a t-shirt.
