May 26, 2014 6 Comments

When I get to know that my friend from Korea will be visiting, I have quickly seek for her help if she could help me to buy some skincare. I have always heard how affordable Korean skin care is and I do not want to miss my chance this time since I did when the BF did went to Korea.

There are many raves about It’s Skin Power 10 Formula serums and how affordable they can be. Yes, they are definitely more cheaper than the prices in Malaysia due to the tax imports. Plus in Malaysia, freebies are not given as freely. Can you believe my purchase is just the serums? I will be listing the price of Korean Won and approximate price of MYR using currency converter, XE.com. Let’s go through the function of each serums.

It’s Skin Power 10 Formula VB Effector

‘Oil free essence containing Vitamin B6 which controls the secretion of sebum. Also balances the natural moisture and oils and mitigating any skin.’

Price: KRW 9800 (approximately MYR 30.71)

‘Highly concentrated ampoule containing peptides with properties similar to snake venom will hinder movement, improving even the facial expression wrinkles that are difficult to smooth out.’

Price: KRW 11 000 (approximately MYR 34.47)

It’s Skin Power 10 Formula Q10 Effector

‘A serum containing Coenzyme Q10, the energy component within the skin, which is locked within microcapsules to restore the skin with lost vitality and resilience.’

My friend managed to hogged for me these mask as freebies with the purchase of 5 serums straight up. There is 3 pieces of Aloe Calming Sheet Mask, 3 pieces of Pearl Bright Essential Mask, and 4 pieces of Collagen+ Mask. It sounded so generous that I begin to suspect my friend might have purchase them.

Also, this bronze pouch was given as a freebie too. How can I not suspect my friend? Tell me about it. What I like about this pouch is you could open it and have transparent compartment which enable you to see what you have kept inside.

My friend also popped in two of Nature Republic’s Super Origin Complete Control Cream samples for me to try. Now I’m overloaded with serums that I’m not quite sure when I’m going to finish them. They are really affordable as to compare with the prices in Malaysia. It’s Skin has been around in Malaysia for sometime now and as far as I know they are also available in Hermo.com.my.

What Did I Snagged At Malaysia Clothes Buffet?

May 2, 2014 6 Comments

Were you at the Malaysia’s Largest Clothes Buffet last weekend? Happened for 3 days at the Concourse Floor of Syopz Mall, Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus where there are more than 50,000 pieces of clothes up for grab. If you have missed this, I have shared about it in my previous post here. Be sure to follow me tight for future updates!

With my busy schedule, I only manage squeeze myself in to go on Sunday which was the last day of the event and that worried me because I was wondering if there is anything left. Of course, I wouldn’t leave the venue empty handed. I arrived at 12:15pm and they were running the Blowout Sales between 12:00pm to 1:00pm. The next session of the buffet will start at 1:00pm and I’m very lucky to have the opportunity to scout for what I want.

Each of us were given a zip lock bag of 14 x 9 inch and if anyone blows the bag, there will be a penalty of MYR 20. I do play safe when it comes to such challenge, in fact my bag could fit one more but I couldn’t find what I wanted. Guess how many did I snagged? A total of 8 pieces. In my opinion, no matter how many pieces one could snag, the most important element is if the person like what they have picked. Let’s see what I picked from the buffet!

Black & White Asymmetrical Peplum

I always love asymmetrical and what makes this more interesting that it’s a peplum top. Here I have paired it with my red dress and skinny belt. The bottom portion of the dress is a round skirt which helps to make the peplum style look more fluffy. It is made of chiffon and I also liked it has another layer of white chiffon where it creates layers to the style. Another ways to style with this top is pencil skirt, shorts and skinny pants.

White Tank Top

As much as I like to wear tank tops, I do not have one in white. Therefore, I told myself I should definitely get one. The material is slightly sheer but not very obvious and this is a cross back tank top. I usually like to go casual with it and wear them with a pair of short jeans. They could easily be paired with any bottoms and outer wear.

Black and Turquoise Spaghetti

Another basic casual wear, straight up stripped spaghetti top. I was worried that it could be too small for me when I first picked it. It is slightly tight but it’s stretchable. Just like the tank top, this can be paired easily with any outer wear or bottoms.

Sheer Long Sleeves Dull Pink Shirt

I can never have enough of sheers and chiffon. I do have something similar but it is in cream and this comes with a pocket. I always like chiffon for it’s light material and even if it’s long sleeve, it isn’t too bad to wear it in the tropical weather. This is an over-sized for me but I’m comfortable with it. Though it is in dull pink, it somehow portray quite a sweet look to it. This can be easily paired with any bottoms and can be nicely layered with sleeveless outer wears.

Convertible Peach Shirt

Another shirt but this fits better and different material (I believe it’s batiste). I call this convertible because I could wear it as long or three quarter sleeves. Plus I do not have any peach top which gives me a good reason to snag this. Batiste material is very light and airy. Peach shade always gives a warmer tone and I love this!

Bejeweled Pale Pink Dress

Despite of picking mostly casual tops, I was up for something glam. When I first picked up this dress, I thought it would be too small for me because my woes in over the hip and butt area. Yes, they are the biggest part of my body. I underestimated this dress and it didn’t hug my hips or butt tightly at all. It is loose that I look like a preggo. This can be worn as a dress or top. Under the sequins, it has a netting that creates softness to the style.

Sheer Floral Sleeves Pink Top

This top may look simple, I got attracted to it’s simplest details on the sleeves where it is sheer and embroidered with flowers pattern. I have paired this with a black skater skirt and I should have add a chunky or colorful necklace to spice up the style.

Twisted Gold Rope With Tassels

This pick was a last minute decision while I was packing the rest of the pieces into my bag carefully. It is a small item but I could use it as my belt. This gold rope comes with tassels at each ends. I did notice that one of the tassel is slightly damaged but it came off before I took this photo yesterday. I’m thinking of ways to fix it, it will be a waste if I toss it away.

At the same time, there were other vendors at the buffet and one has caught my attention. A beauty box that I have to hear of and it only cost MYR 10. I went all over it and bought one for myself.

MYR10 for all these? It’s definitely worth all the pennies! What makes it more interesting is that I was able to choose the items for my beauty box. From their display, I could pick 2 full size sheet mask, 2 samples and 2 fashion accessories. I have picked quite a handful of items.

Nature Republic Given By Nature Green Tea Mask Sheet
Nature Republic Given By Nature Chestnut Sheel Mask Sheet
Nature Republic Magic Remover Lip & Eye Fresh Tissue
Skin Food Gold Caviar Collagen Serum
Lavore Beige Turquoise Stud Dangle Earrings
Lavore Triangle White Crystal Patch Earrings

I have also topped MYR2.00 along with the beauty box purchase and obtained another mask, Nature Republic Essential Solution Energy Ampoule Mask Sheet. This is a two-step mask which requires ampoule application before the mask.

I was given more samples of innisfree Air Skin Fit BB Cream, Inca Omega Power Oil and Nature Republic Super Origin Collagen BB Cream as well as fh Club brochure to further understand more. I’m not very sure of how their box works but they have quite a bit of sales happening in their web, fhClub.com.my.

I really look forward for Malaysia Clothes Buffet again but the venue is way too warm, I was sweating throughout my entire visit there including the buffet. Hopefully, organizers will be able to consider to run it indoor and it will be more comfortable to shop and run the challenge. If so, I will be back again!
