Time for our weekly installment of random ramblings!
Strange search query of the week
The strange search query of the week was this “converting line for used sanitary napkin” where they came on my post about using cloth pads. I don’t know – was that search what I think it was?! :O
Smashbox Cosmetics in Malaysia – finally!
Remember when I said that Smashbox Cosmetics was coming into Malaysia? Well chicas, they’re IN! Head on down to Parkson Pavilion Kuala Lumpur where you can check out the Smashbox Cosmetics counter in all its glory.
Star products I know of are the Photo Finish primer, Halo perfecting powder (with cheese grater 😀 ) and O Glow cream blush and lip tint – none of which I’ve tried 😛 There is a full range of products and this special trial set available for purchase with a really cute little blush/powder . Also, this weekend there are extra vouchers for cosmetics purchases so its a good time to buy! 😀
Selberan Diamond Shu Uemura Botan Brush – gawk at it!
The Finals of the Shu Uemura Asean Makeup Competition was held at the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur during the week where we saw cutie-pie Uchide-san International Director for Shu Uemura work his makeup magic on 2 models within 5 minutes. Fascinating makeup aside, the grand prize for the winner captivated me – a specially made Selberan diamond encrusted Shu Uemura Botan brush! Gawk at it! Go on… I did! 😀 (Prize was won by Adeline Yeoh of Singapore) And while I was gawking, I also gawked at Guerlain’s offering for Christmas 2009!
Guerlain Imperiale Holiday/Christmas Collection 2009
I know Guerlain is a super luxury brand (for most of us anyway) but while we’re gawking at diamond encrusted botan brushes, lets gawk too at Guerlain’s offering for the Holidays. Mmm… Look at that Guerlain Rouge G lippie…. Guerlain is so so luxurious!
Sunsilk Book of Records Malaysia
And finally, did you know that Sunsilk got themselves into the Malaysia Book of Records by having over 3,000 heads conditioned in 12 hours last week? Were you one of those who got free conditioning last weekend? 😀
I’m going for a bit of a spin this weekend. Ah the pleasure of driving… I’d forgotten how fun it can be to drive a car 😀
Enjoy the weekend and watch out for ghouls tonight! 🙂
Paris B
wow~! but must in kl first only @-@
wonder how much does that brush cost? diamond encrusted o.o
Guerlain Rouge G casing, is it metal? it would be cool to carve my name on it XD
Hey Eliza
I think that brush was a special exclusive product but yeah all that bling! The Guerlain Rouge G is metal and I’m not sure if they engrave – they used to engrave the KissKiss lipsticks
ok…I was gawking long and hard at the guerlain’s christmas set, will looks good in any girl’s vanity table right?
Hiya Reese
I know right? Just look at that pretty Meteorites powder!
wow! It’s the first time I heard of Guerlain this brand! where can we get it?
The blusher looks nice for me~
Hi Jean..
I think Guerlain is inside Parkson Pavilion 😀 And maybe Parkson KLCC.. Correct me if I am wrong Paris! 😛
Intruder~AnT 😛 LOL
Hi Jean
Guerlain is a luxury brand which is located in just a few areas – Parkson Pavilion, KLCC, Isetan Gardens are a few I know of. The Meteorites powder isn’t a blush – its a highlighting powder – similar to this one I’ve previously reviewed 🙂
*mouth drops to the floor* My my, i’m gawking all right PB!
Hiya Jessica
Haha yep! We all were 😀
Hi Paris..
Thanks for your review on Guerlain. It reminds me of my precious Jill Stuart’s cosmetic packaging 😛
How much is Guerlain’s Rouge G Lippie? Very IT savvy packaging 😛 Err.. a lippie pendrive? LOL
Hope to see more Christmas/Holiday 2009 cosmetic collections here 😉
Enjoy your spin this weekend! Have fun kawaii Paris! 😛 Weeee weeeet 😛
Hey AnT
I love Guerlain even if its always way out of budget – their lippies are AMAZING! I still haven’t tried Jill Stuart – somehow never found the gall to pay for it 😛 The Guerlain Rouge G Lipstick is about RM158. Some Christmas 2009 collection will be showcased as and when I get info on them 😀 Thanks!
Just popped by Smashbox Pavilion to pick up the HD foundation (RM 146). Primer is about RM 139 I think (just took a peek as I already had one). HALO is RM 228 ouch~ didn’t get to grate it as some powder were already in it :p
A very nice SA is there, goes by the name Ling
Hey Jessie
Glad to know you had a good experience at Smashbox 😀
I am looking at the brush and I wanted to reach out and feel it! 🙂
enjoy your weekend pb! 🙂
Hey Nikki
So did I! But it was behind a glass 😛
ooh Smashbox!! ooh Guerlain Christmas!!
Time for shopping Monstro? 😉
Dumb question: Where’s the Smashbox counter in Pavilion? I was there earlier and I couldn’t find it.
Hi Synical
The Smashbox counter is opposite the back of Benefit Cosmetics, between Estee Lauder and La Mer. Its back to back with Kose I believe.
Yep, definitely missed it :p
Oh well..
Eeeeeee…..!! *high pitch screams* Thanks you for your updates PB! I ve been waiting for ages to hear SMASHBOX in town! I hope the retail price would be cheaper than the StrawberryNet price. Too bad I cant make it this weekend to KL for the special vouchers 🙁 OMG…I cant wait to get their Photo FinishLight primer, Brow Tech, JetSet Waterproof Eye Liner, Eye Shadow Trio, Brush #10, #20 & #22 and list going long and long…omg..
Hi Pearl
Glad to be of help! Hehe… Smashbox as a brand never really grabbed me but I’m glad you’re liking it 🙂 Prices on Strawberrynet are quite comparable but there’s a better selection at the counter of course 😉
You must treat yourself to one Guerlain goodie this Christmas!
I LOVE that Shu brush…if only!
Hi Jamilla
I’m thinking Guerlain Rouge G! 😀
wow that brush is just…gawk =)….breathtaking *.* Wish I could hold it in my hands for a minute…
Hiya Maryinwonder
Yep! I wanted to too! 😛 But it was hands off
yeayyyyy smashbox is finally here =D now i can only wait for NARS…
Hiya Aretha
Who know how soon that might be eh? 🙂
Hi ParisB
Just wondering if you have any idea how much does the SmashBox’s Primer cost in Malaysia? I am in Singapore now and am going to Malaysia very soon. Am not sure if the price in Malaysia would be cheaper than those in Sephora, Singapore. Any ideas?
Thanks heaps.
