Jumble sale!!

Hi everyone!!!

i have been very busy lately...my activities are:

weekdays - work, eat, sleep, exercise (thought it's only like 0.001% of the time)

weekends - travelling to t'ganu, holidaying, shopping, washing clothes, sleep

today is one special weekend where, i did some spring cleaning on my beauty products drawer

and to my satisfaction, it's filled to the brim! then when i looked on my other cupboard,

to my horror! i have products all over them as well!!!

^O^ how am i going to fit everything in?? i have like tonnes of body shampoo, shampoo, powder, facial products, make up, tissues, cotton... OMG!

so i decide to pick out nice ones, mostly BRAND NEW... to sell away at my new jumble store!!

please feel free to visit my store yah!!! TQTQ

~ SHONZ JUMBLE STORE ~

My latest scent-diction

It all started with a sale by The Body Shop!
So I checked out online, and was attracted to the Vanilla shower gel because;
1. It was on 50% off at rm14.50

2. TBS shower gels to me were like special indulgence... So once it's on sale, I grab some
I also planed to buy the other shower gel like Raspberry and Passion Fruit, provided that I liked the smell. So after work, I accidentally got myself to a BodyShop outlet to buy them.

At the first sniff, I was blown away! The smell of Vanilla captured my heart and I feel in love with it immediately. However, it was unfortunate that they had only the small bottle there. The bigger bottle was Sold Out! Heart broken, I bought two small bottles, cause I just loved the smell but unwilling to pay so high price for shower gel. I also bought the Raspberry shower gel but left out the passion fruit one. From my choices, it was obvious that I liked sweet scent.

So there I was, sniffing that bottle of shower gel all the way home. I planned to go to another outlet to try look for the bigger bottle Vanilla shower gel but ended up calling every outlet nearby after a light bulb moment! Ta-da! Disappointed that all outlets are out of stock, I called EVERY OUTLET in Selangor/kl, Kluang, Alor Setar, Penang and Rawang... Where there will be people who can help me buy. But I ended up disappointed as well. I even went till the extent of pleading with TBS online people if they can look for me. Finally, reward for not giving up, I found that there are available stock in Kuala Terengganu!!!!! I was so so so happy and told Pingu, practically instructed Pingu to go buy them for me... Of course, I had reserved it ahead! Muahahahhahhahah

So now, I have 6 bottles (250ml) Vanilla shower gel, 2 travel size bottles, and 1 body mist!

I could not control my addiction, that I decided to go look for the EDT/ body mist...
I bought the mist as it was on 20% discount...

And I plan to buy the EDT soon.... Let's see how long this addiction lasts....

P/s; while looking for the body mist, I was introduced to their best selling fragrance range as well.., the Japanese Cherry Blossom... It was sweet..... My next target... :)

Wonderbox March 2013 CNY Edition

This wonderbox came just after CNY ...

inside were some brochures, product card and a card explaining all about Wonderpoints!

its a point system reward to claim free boxes in the future

very generous system i tell you!

this is CNY theme, so that is why you see some pink flowers all over

this month's box is all about facial products and only one nail item

frankly, i was very happy cause i fancy facial products more than make up..

1. Murad VITALIC T-ZONE Pore Refining Gel
this is to reduce pore size  for T zone area.. it smells good but i felt it is not so powerful

2. Murad Energizing Pomegranate Moisturizer

i love this moisturiser!! since i am looking for a day moisturiser, i was so happy to receive this famous brand!

i am using it on a daily basis, and i kind of liked it...

smells fruity sweet and the texture is liquid...

comes with SPF15 so it's all good!

3.Jacqueline Burchell Nail Lacquer
this tiny bottle of nail polish is so adorable!!
the colour i got is something like metalic grey
texture wise, it's a bit thick... but i only need to apply one coat to get full coverage

4. Clinelle Moisture Booster

this came at such an awesome timing...

when i was thinking of changing my night moisturiser and planning to try Khiel's MR

i can put this on before for added moisture!

i was using this some time ago, i stopped.

initially because of price, then later i found ANR serum.. 

5. H2O+ Marine Toner and Oasis Dual-Action Exfoliating Cleanser

super loved this!! heard of this brand before and i have been wanting to try this but have no chance

sample size is great as well cause it can be used as travel pack!
this is definitely on my next-try-list

overall, i really loved this month's Wonderbox..

i loved facial products a lot!!

and i hope to receive more of it!!

MODBOX - February 2013 + review of one favorite item!!

This is my second Modbox, and i am so in love with them

that i emailed Modbox team and cancelled my monthly subscription!

hahaha i guess their heart must have broken when they saw the title to my email

then i explained that i want to change to 6 month's subscription!!

the beautiful package that made many jealous ;)

Products included in the box for me this month!

1. Shaire Dry Shampoo - or if i read properly, i think it is also call hair perfume

perfect for those times when hair washing is not possible...

and i think it suit mom's in confinement the BEST

so i gave this to my colleague who will give birth soon!!

spread the love ya..

2. Essense Smokey Eye set - did not try this though, as i already have similar colours

so i plan to give to a friend 

spread the love ya... 

3. Essence XXXL nudes lip gloss - gave this to my colleague who loved lips products too as i don't like anything on my lips! 

spread the love again ya!

4. Perkins Nail Wrap - initially i was like wow! yay! playtime!

then i went ugghhh... green colour?  hmmm.. still ok lah..

but when i read further on the instructions..

OMG! my hair can stand even as i am typing now!

need to use nail file to file it!!!

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...... i cannot file my own nail.. 

neither will i choose to let other's file, if i can choose.. my greatest fear! :(

5. Juice Beauty Cleansing Gel - my favourite among all!!!!

just when i needed a cleanser, this showed up

lets do a short review of this cleanser which i begin to adore..

here's the back of the bottle, cannot really read though..

it's an organic cleanser which is good.. nothing poisonous or fake in there..

the smell is... uhmm.. organic.. hahahah...

no lah... honestly, it smells like nutmeg cream! hahaha..

those traditional ubat cream smell, so confirm organic lo!

the colour is like what you see on top, slightly dark brown, slightly runny...

foaming capacity is moderate; which i like!...

too foamy, means got a lot foaming chemical

not foamy, not nice, cause no clean feeling..

i am just so dumb, i know... but still..

after cleansing, i find that my skin is CLEAN....

and not dry and my skin did not pull.. means MOISTURIZING enough!

yay! so thumbs up for this cleanser... and i believe i will purchase it after i finish this bottle!

thank you MODBOX for introducing this wonderful item for me!

if you guys wanna find gems like this...

and enjoy receive monthly 'presents'...

check out www.modbox.com.my 

(i am so happy every time i receive a beauty box until the courier guys also know that the box they hold is meant for me.. skip the receptionist and come directly to my table! i think they secretly enjoy watching me scream in happiness and hugging my boxes while acknowledging receipt :)) 

What you need to know when subscribing for Beauty Box! TIPS!!

there is a new trend in town called.. Beauty Box
this is a subscription to a box of deluxe sized samples (sometimes there's full sized products too) with a fixed fee payable monthly...
you will receive a box every month filled with goodies beautifully packed :)
the thrill is YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT's INSIDE! 
the fun part is OPENING beautifully wrapped package and discover what is it inside!
it's like receiving a present every month, but this, you pay for it lah! hahahha

so this month for the first time i subscribed to not one but TWO beauty boxes #greedy
i did my survey and read reviews and finally decided to subscribe to modbox and wonderbox
there is another new one in town called thelilacbox which i bought too as well as i felt the box sounds so tempting.. all premium products wor...

the one and only thing that one must know when you have subscribed to beauty boxes is...

TO WAIT FOR YOUR BOX!! 

anticipate & surprise yourself

never ever go scouting and finding reviews 

to know what's in your box!

i did that and i totally regretted it! FML!

i know the anticipation is so strong that you can't resist the temptation to know what is the surprise you will get....but trust me, once you know it already, all your money worth that you have paid will go down the drain! #truestory

when modbox said the boxes were sent out already, my heart was racing so fast..
every single time my office bell rang, i feel excited.... i kept on checking back on facebook to see have anyone received it, any reviews, NONE! *disappointed and then i saw one lady got her box and was so happy! that's it! no reviews nothing! i got even more jealous and impatient. 
so when my box finally came! OMG i was super happy can die! 
every single layer of items i removed until i see what is it inside the box made me more and more excited! 
the feeling was awesome!!!!

so then the next box i was due to receive was wonderbox. i was like tak sabar-sabar je.. cause from the first box, i was so excited to know what surprise i will receive! so i search high and low for any reviews.. stalked their facebook to see if there is any hint.... and yeah!! yes! i found a review of this month's box! 
OMG so mad happy ! #bigaccomplishment once i opened the blogpost and read the review, the excitement went from 100000% to 1%. THAT'S IT! 
so instead it became a boring wait for the box, and when i received it, there was not heart racing, nor and feeling except that i just needed to ensure i got the same products like what other's did :| i felt just...meh....
