Benefit Warehouse Sale June/ July 2011 Haul

Found out a couple of days ago that there’s a Benefit Warehouse sale in Menara Milenium. At first we thought it started yesterday, 29 June, so we went but apparently its 30 June – 1 July.
People close to me know I have a lot of makeup but dont really use them. So, to be safe, i only brought RM200 cash as I wanted to buy lemon aid and perhaps some other stuff to try.

So I bought the following. Original prices in USD frm website. Malaysia’s prices at the counter should be more expensive

• Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in Stiletto (left) & Flatter Me = 1 for RM 35, 2 for RM 55 (NP: $19 each)
• Lemon Aid, color correcting eyelid primer – RM45 ($20)
• BADgal Plum Mascara = RM28 ($19)

*note : Please check the mascara before buying. I'm a bit skeptical about the “newness” of the mascara I bought. As is the case with most warehouse sales, all sales are final and there are no refunds.
Other things I noticed but didn’t buy

• High Beam = RM 55 ($24)
• Velvet eyeshadow (powder?) = 1 for RM 35, 2 for RM 55 (NP: $19)
• "honey... snap out of it" face scrub = Under 100 bucks. sorry cant rmbr exactly how much
• some brightening eye cream, some moisturizers = under 100 bucks
• Lipsticks/lipglosses = RM45 each
• 6 in 1 lip gloss ( 3 sticks of dual ended lipgloss) = RM90 (or 70..cant rmbr)
• Brow Zings = Sorry didnt check price ($30)
• There’s NO Benetint or Posietint (boo)

I think the sale ends tomorrow, so head down to Starlight Cosmetics, Level 13, Menara Millenium.

Soap & Glory Girligo Body Moisturizing Mist

I read about this on a beauty blog and I was curious to find out how it smells but unfortunately, the only place I can get it (besides online) is in Sephora and the nearest ones are in KL. But seriously with results like “Sensible men have been driven to dizziness by this moisturizing mist”, how could I resist?

I got my dad to pick it up from Sephora KLCC and it was surprisingly cheaper than I thought. On the website its GDP 6.38 for 250ml and in Sephora its RM 32.00. Not too bad considering the exchange rate is about 4.8 or so.

I believe you can also get it at Boots (nearest is in Thailand) and in Malaysia, there are two Sephora outlets in Kuala Lumpur – namely Pavilion & KLCC.

A description from the site :

A fragranced spray-on body moisturizing mist. Do your own flirty work: Spritz Girligo™ on all-over post shower for temptingly fragrant, softer, smoother, more supple skin.

Scented with a tempting blend of bergamot, peach, strawberry, jasmine, mandarin and musk.

  

My verdict: It’s a sweet but musky scent. Well basically its like spraying a light lotion on your body. Its quite moisturizing but I have quite okay skin anyway so I can’t say if it’ll work for dry skin. But I really really like the scent!

How to use : I’ve read some blogs/forums saying that it drips when they spray it but it didn’t for me. spray it some distance away from your body and well distributed. At first I tried to rub it in but realized that it made my fingers overly scented. SO right after I come out of the shower, I spray it on and let it dry naturally before putting on clothes.

At this price and such a huge bottle, I think I will definitely buy this again after this one finishes. This is my first Soap & Glory purchase. I’ve tried the hand cream before so I might want to try out more stuff. Anything to recommend?

SILKYGIRL Double Intense Waterproof Mascara

I recently threw all my  mascara away when cleaning up some makeup because it already started to smell funky so was in the market for a new (and inexpensive) mascara. I actually don’t really use mascara that often because I sometimes have flu and when I sneeze, my eyes become very watery. I also have a tendency to rub my eyes when I’m tired (which is quite often) thus smearing everything – eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara - everywhere.

So I read a review about this in So Loverly (one of my fav beauty blogs btw) about this SILKYGIRL (yes its one word and all CAPS) and picked it up the “Bonus Pack” next time I was at Guardian. For some reason the price tag was RM 24.88 but I actually got it for RM18+. It came with a mini Gentle Eye Makeup Remover (55ml) which is worth RM9.90 so I guess the mascara ended up to be about RM10.
