SURIA MERIANG SDN. BHD. STAFF SALE 2013 IS BACK!

Hello my beauties, I've got some exciting news to share with all of you today. Guess what................

the Suria Meriang staff sale is back this year! AM SUPER EXCITED!!!

If you don't already know, Suria Meriang Sdn. Bhd. carries cosmetic brands such as:

I'll be heading to the sale with my girlfriends and my brother's girlfriend, Mandy. Thanks to Melia who gave us tickets.

I have yet to plan (financially that is) and also what I should be looking out for. I'm looking forward to the MAC & Bobbi Brown items mainly, and maybe a little of Origins/Clinique as well. But for this year, I'd be going for MAC and/or B.Brown items, looking forward to seeing some holiday collections maybe and of course, sets is something I'd be looking for this year. 

Based on the previous sale that I went for, most of the items were sold in sets of 2/3 items for the price of one. 

For example, for my previous haul during last's year warehouse sales, I snagged the Bobbi Brown Corrector and Creamy Concealer for RM 80, and to my personal knowledge, each of these items cost RM 80. So in conclusion, it's a buy 1 free 1 sort of deal. 

List of items bought last year & price as per below:

1. Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer (Beige) & Corrector (Light Peach) set: RM 80 (ori. price RM 80 each)

2. Bobbi Brown Concealer Kit (the one with the concealer on top and powder at the bottom): RM 70/RM 90 - can't remember clearly (ori. price RM 130 per set)

3. Estee Lauder Double Wear Shadow Creme in Golden Sand: RM 30 (ori. price RM 65 each)

4. Clinique Blended Face Powder & Brush: RM 60 (ori. price RM 105 each)

So I'd be posting up a haul soon enough but at the mean time, I'll post up some reviews over the weekend. Thanks for reading love!

   

REVIEW: BOBBI BROWN'S POT ROUGE FOR LIPS AND CHEEKS

Hey loves, so, I was given this by my friend as a belated Birthday gift about a week ago and I am absolutely in love with the shade especially with it on my lips. So, without further a do, let's just get on with the photos and swatches. Enjoy! And please leave a comment if there's anything I could do for you. Thank you.

PROS:

• Reasonable amount for the price.
• Great colour pay-off.
• Looks natural when applied.
• Texture wise: Creamy.
• Simple yet sleek packaging.
• Travel friendly. (For lips and cheeks)

CONS:

• A little difficult to blend out even thought the texture is creamy.
• I don't know whether it's just my lips, but when I apply it on my lips, it's a little drying. Need lip balm.
• Quite expensive to re-purchase. (Will use mine slowly =p )

Well, that's all for now my lovelies... hope you liked that review of mine on the Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks. If there's any other questions that you have on this product, please leave a comment below and I will get back to you a.s.a.p. Thank you!
