Origins - again, I know

I know, it is another Origins post, well, I have not been paid to write, just 'luckily' find 2 bargains, so post it before it is too late!

I used to be a fan of Garnier's roll on pen, but now as the price is increasing [not sure whether you have realised, the cheap stuff are getting higher while the high end stuff remain around the same price?!], from £4 (when it 1st come out) to almost £9/£10 nowadays, then I may as well find an alternative, since my skin is bit 'tired' of the same thing (or maybe just me not my skin lol)

So I managed to find out that Origins got similar caffeine rich eye cream, and I managed to find this set for only £12.50 in Boots! The eye cream alone is already £20 RRP, so I think this is a bargain, as it comes along with a mini mascara, a mini lip gloss as well as a plastic make up bag.

Also, if you purchase 2 or more Origins product from Boots.com, they are giving out 2 mini size, which I have already forgot what they are as I have tucked them into my miniatures box @@

But oh well, not bad for £12.50, yeh?

This week shopping @ Debenhams online

I normally buy things in store, as I can touch and feel the products. But this time, using the information provided by fellow bloggers, I bought 2 item from Estee Lauder and gained a few gift. However, for some unknown reason, the things are out of stock, so they just send me the gift. Futhermore, they have included 3 free sample as well, so nice XD

I saw this brand in Boots before. Apparently it is quite good and its from Spain. I want to try their products when they 1st came out, but the prices aren't cheap enough for me to buy immediately.

This time, Pure cosmetics are 1/2 price. So this eyeshadow palette is only £7.50. Cant wait to try out. XDD


This is the free set from Estee Lauder. I dont have good impression on its mascara, but this time, from the look of it, I think I may like it. lol
Also, cant wait to try out too......


(p.s. last week, I manage to get hold of the newANR and the individual foundation from Estee Lauder. So at the end, I manage to get try out most of the things from EL)

(p.s.s forgot to say, the IDYLLE perfume is really nice, worth to try ;-P)

This Week Shopping 2

Muji is one of my favourite store that I will visit when i need to or when I am bored... Just bought 3 quite essential things today...

1. the stack of case

use for my mixing medium, as i still want to found out the difference between using mineral water and distilled water. i cannot just let my shot glasses stay in the fridge as there isnt much space, so if i put into a stack, i can at least hide them in the drinks shelf.

also, my homemade honey mask always homeless. it always stays in the PS bowl that i used for mixing, so it can stay at the last jar of this stack.

2. transfer set

if anyone knows to press their pigments/ loss powder, then you will know the difficulties when you haven't got the proper tools at home. I know bloggers in HK suggest using the ice cream spectula that comes along with mini ice cream cups in 7-11. But there's no 7-11 and those ice cream in HK, so this mini set is quite useful.

In this set, there's a funnel and a pipette which are helpful for transfer liquid, i.e. alcohol for disinfections.

p.s. seems like a while, i havnt use pipette for ages.....

3. eye mask paper

I am not a mask person either...(seems i am not a _____person for all the time......omg....) this mask paper is good enough for me. the only main problem with my skin is the eye area, so i want to much focus on them. also, my cheekbone area is a trouble when i got skin irritant, as all the rashes are scattered around that area. also the sun burnt......@.@

as the size of the cheekbone is quite small, so i think this can be used as my cheek mask...hahaha

This week shopping

Went to Richmond yesterday, walked around and shopped a little as there aren't many shops around in the area I live, esp there are no Superdrug or Boots. For the photos that I took in Richmond, go to my photoblog @ http://www.photoblog.com/kyanvi/


For last post, I bought Simple Cleansing Wipe, so here it is. The price of this one is cheaper in Superdrug and there's a free day cream sample. (however, if you are going to buy more than 2 skincare products, go to Boots instead as they are doing 3 for 2, for all skincare products)

I have a Ted Baker Set before when it was 1/2 price @ Boots. I intend to keep it rather than sell it on ebay, but the Mascara in this kit is in light Brown, which I dont even border to try on, so just sold it last week.





Ted Baker Master'ize Kit 1
The e/s here in this kit are nice, prefect for a purple-blue smoky eyes as there's a dark plum purpler eyeliner too.

This time I got the Blush kit as it is free when you buy any Ted Baker Bodywash product (not travel size though). There are 2 set of gift you can choose, either their blush set or their e/s kit. I dont like their e/s combination, and I only have 2&1/2 blushes, so got the blush instead.
(didnt find any photo of this online, so put up later)

Back to topic, I bought Ted Baker Moisturising Body Mist. I tried it yesterday after shower. It was brilliant. I hate to put on lotion, yet, my skin tends to be dry up by the surrounding and hot shower. I don't like Baby oil, don't like cream or lotions... So this idea of Spray is quite good as I can jus randomly spray on and use my hand to message a bit. Also, this smells lovely, not sure what exactly it smells like, but florish. So recommend for ladies who go to gym and shower there. Nice and easy.

n.b. according to the source I found online, it should smells like jasmine, rose, pear and apple. (http://www.kmibrands.com/corporate/pages/tb_bodywear/TBBodywear_Womens.htm)


Just realise how much I allow my bf to spend on beer and how little i spend on beauty products, as he always said 'you still haven't finish this and that; and got other similar stuff at home' or ' do you really need this? you got things similar at home'. (think some of you maybe already nodding while you read ;-P) So we make an argreement, he can continue to buy beer when its on sale and i will buy products that are only few quid if i want to without using all my existing products. This means that I am going to look forward to try all Boots, Superdrug, Simple, e.l.f., collection 2000, 17, Natural Collection and some of the Rimmel stuff... yahh......


This is the 1st product after this. I am a fan of any vitamin E products as i know they tends to be mild, easy to absorb, moisturing and SPF3!! As I have used Superdrug vitamin E body products before, so I think this should be okay.

It is on promotion atm, 1/2 price. So only cost me £1.xx and it has SPF 15. So look forward to try this one tomorrow as I need to go to work.


Summer is fading, so why I bought Bronzer when I already got one at home?

The one i am using now is quite redish/ orangish, so it cannot act as shading for my jaw bone. Currrently I have one foundation from The Body Shop that acts as shading, but seems its not as good as it used to be (but don't know why) So i rather get another 1.

The only trouble is, I want something that is dark and cheap. The foundation that available in Boots arent that dark and cheap. So i looked for Bronzer instead.
This one is quite similar to NYC, which I heard is quite good for cheap comestic, but the price in UK is even higher than Collection 2000, so why don't i get Collection 2000 instead??


For the Rimmel products, I dont have a eyebrow liner and heard that this is cheap and nice, so got this. The same reason for the concealer, heard it has been sold every 30sec since 1967, so worth to try out, as I havnt find out a perfect concealer for my dark circles >_<

p.s. i didnt realise i am so talkative.@.@

This week shopping

Boots again, when I was thinking of what to write today, just felt so bored. Well, put it this way, I do not have to extra money to shop either at Harrods or Selfridges. The only choices are either Boots or Superdrugs.

I used to be a Superdrugs fan as the prices were cheaper. But nowadays, the prices are quite similar and I much prefer Boots as the stores are much cleaner and also because of its advantage card which can collect points for cash back.

Still using No7 voucher, so got the pair of sponge for 50p as the original price is £5.50.

As I didn't sleep well these few days, so need extra eye gel, dont know whether this is good or not, but at least it is only £1.49, can have a go. I have tried yesterday, didn't spot any difference, but at least the smell, textures, etc are okay for me.

Special offer for Botanics. Free face wipes when you buy any facial skincare product. So got this organic toner for my bf as it is quite important to put toner on before applying lotions. I was thinking of getting him mens products, but as it is jus toner, think it will be okay to use womens. Also the smell is very nice too.. (someone making excuse to buy stuff here @.@)
