Haul: USA Spree #1

This is my first collective haul post. For those who have no idea what haul is. Its a term use usually by gurus or people on Youtube when they want to share what they have bought recently.

The reason will be the same for me as well. I'm not just showing of, this haul post will act as a preview for my review to come and all my haul post will mostly be a collective haul where I collect everything I bought in a certain month or whatever (^_^)

Jabber: Weekend at Isetan PART I

Been slacking on blogging lately thought I jabbed a little. Festive season is the best don't you think? Got sale here and there and its much more fun and less tiring if you have the money to spend which I currently are out off >.<

Since I already splurge on makeup items these past month I can only watched and help carry the shopping bags while my sister shop till I drop. Boo.. no fun =( Last weekend Isetan KLCC had a 4 day sale and it was crazy! You can get discount up to 70% off. We weren't planning on buying anything, just went there to get dinner and hangout cause we weren't aware of the sale but like any ladies who stumble on a sale it is almost impossible to ignore. We went to the perfume counter since my sister want to check out the price. She's looking for the new DKNY Be Delicious perfume, the pink one. When we got there of course there's the promoter waiting to reel us in and she succeeded. With the promise of free gift with the purchased my sister was sold. So she end up getting the perfume 10% off and a bunch of freebies such as body lotion, roll on, samples, DKNY tote bag and RM30 Isetan cash voucher. How can you say no to that? (^_^)v


At the cashier the promoter ask for our member card and suddenly panic attack. Owh no... were not an Isetan member and I thought for sure we have to pay like extra because we're not members and all of our freebies will be revoke, Noooo! but then the promoter said we can't get the RM30 cash voucher only and I was relief. That's not so bad but the promoter refuse to let us walk away with out the cash voucher. So, she ask my sister to fill in the form with a payment of RM20 for two years and she will get us our member card like right now! So, without further a due my sis fill in the form, pay the fees and the best part is you get a sub card for free and wallah.. I am now a proud member of Isetan (^_^)v


After that we went to LeSportsac and my sis snatched up a handbag and a wristlet, both are 50% off for members and 40% off for non-members. Members will always get extra 10% off, that's one of the perks of being a member =)

The day hasn't ended yet but tired of typing already, will continue on next post =P

Jabber: Hi, I Am Shizuru and I'm a Shopaholic

I'm such a shopaholic. Can't seem to sit in front of the laptop without joining a spree or ordering something online. More specifically, beauty items. Looking back at all the things I ordered and asking myself, do I really need this much makeup stuff? Pause for a second or half a second and answered YES! Lol... I'm so not regretting all the stuff that I bought.

First of all, I don't have that much makeup collection to begin with. I'm just building up my collections.

Second, I used or going to use all of it, of course not all at once but everything I got is need items not want items.

Third, most the stuff that I got is on sale and to not grab the chance is like near stupidity since I'm going to get it anyways, why not get it on sale, right? =P

But just to justify some of my buying addict, I'm going on a rehab. Yes, I'm going to try and constraint myself from buying any beauty items starting next month, for two month. Therefore, there will be no more buying of makeups, makeup tools and what not from September till October. Will I survive? Am I able to constraint myself from buying? I like to think so. We shall see ^_^

Beauty Finds: MAC vs Loew Cornell

I've been in searched for the Loew Cornell brushes for quite sometime now and the search has ended since I finally found them with the help of some forum friends, you know who you are ^_^ The 411 on these brushes for those who don't already know. Loew Cornell brushes are painting brush. Yes, you wont find them in any of your beauty store or counter since they are originally made for painting. They are one of the top brand as far as painting brushes are concern, very high end. So, you don't have to worry about the quality.



What so great about these brushes for all the makeup addict out there is that some of their brushes are dead end dupe for MAC brushes. You will be more informed by watching the video below.

Rate, comment and subscribe

Ok now the answer to the questions you been waiting for. Where can I get these brushes here in Malaysia? You all can extend your thanks to Craft Haven™ at One Utama for bringing these brushes here. YAY! They have many selection of Loew Cornell brushes but low in stock for most of the popular brushes. I went there last week in search of the MAC 239 dupe which is the Loew Cornell Maxine's Mop 3/8. You can't imagine how happy I am when they still have three of the brushes in stock. So, without thinking I bought two of them ^_^

They are super soft to the touch and does not poke

The Loew Cornell brushes price range from RM12 - RM40 for different type of brushes. The Maxine's Mop 3/8 retail at RM14.90. That's a lot of saving if you compare it to MAC 239 which retails at RM103 @_@ *butimstillgoingtogetitonceicanaffordit*

Below are more info on Craft Haven™, I suggest you gave them a call first to check on the brushes availability. Happy shopping ladies.

Video: Leighton Meester - Good Girl Go Bad

Love love love the new music video Good Girl Go Bad, its not actually that new but whatever and its not actually Leighton Meester a.k.a Blair Waldorf music video. It's Cobra Starship featuring Leighton Meester. Here's the MV, enjoy!

Cobra Starship reminds me a lot of Big Bang maybe its the big dorky sunglasses =P
Whatever it is, they still roxxx!!!

Beauty Finds: Palettes, palettes and more palettes

I'm so excited on doing this post just because I found a bargain deal (well not that much bargain but exceptable) on eBay for some palettes which are identical to the Coastal Scent palettes, they are practically twins. The palettes that I'm talking about is the Ultra Shimmer 88 Eye Shadow Palette and the Blush & Contour Palette

Been wanting to get these palettes for the longest time but the price + shipping from Coastal Scent make me think twice every time I think about ordering them. There are a lot of seller on eBay selling these palette but I was quite skeptical on buying them because I'm afraid that the quality will be sucky. This is because I had a bad experience buying the 88 Piece Makeup Palette from other seller before and I was disappointed with the quality, it has a strong smell, it shattered easily, it wont even survived if you take them traveling with you and the packaging was awful. Even though it was cheaper than the Coastal Scent one, its totally not worth it and I end up buying a second one from Coastal Scent. That's why I was so happy when I found these on eBay.

Pweety shimmer!!

They are totally the same with the Coastal Scent one but with nearly half the price. No strong smell and no shattered palette and you don't have to worry about taking them traveling with you. I took the chance and it was worth it. Here's the link to the palettes if you're thinking of checking them out and don't worry, they even shipped worldwide!!!

Now, if only I can find the 88 Warm Palette ^^'

Review: My Youtube Guru's

I never been a Youtube fan until mid last year when I started watching makeup tutorial. Its not because I hate it, its just because the videos take to long to load on my broadband line and I don't think I have anything to watch from there.

Like I said, I started watching it mid last year around July 2008. I was trying to find the right look for me to do for my pre-graduation night. I kinda have the idea on what I want it to look like, is just that I have no idea on how to do it. So, I did some research on google and forums just to find like picture and stuff. On one of the forums I went to, they mention about RiceBunny a.k.a MichellePhan channel on Youtube. So, her channel was the first one I watched and I started to search for other videos and OMG I have no idea there was a lot of them. I found faffinatex3 a.k.a Aubrey and I thought her makeup skill was pretty and easy to follow and since then I have subscribe to a lot of gurus. They really helped me whether I'm looking for a product review or to learn new makeup skills.

I know maybe some people would say that, if you want to learn how to put on makeup why watched it on Youtube? Are those gurus qualified? Why not take classes?

Well I am going to take classes in the future and the question whether these gurus are qualified or not is not a problem to me. There are those who I followed are professional makeup artist but there are also some who only do freelance job and some who are just your average everyday girl who are willing to share their experience and views. To me the more info and views I can get, the better.

But I do have some tips that people should remember when following a guru.

1. Don't just follow one guru religiously. Get as many points of view you can get.
2. Don't go buying everything the gurus recommend. What suitable for her doesn't mean it will be suitable for you to.
3. Try to look for gurus who has the closes features to you. What looks good on her doesn't mean it will work on you.
4. Know yourself first. For example your skin type, your eye shape, your skin tone etc.
   

Bellow are some of the gurus I followed (in random order):

juicystar07
kuuipo1207
lollipop26

Jabber: New New Look ^^'

Lol... Yes, my blog got another make over. I love love love the previous skin but I can't install widget using that skin and you can't even post a comment (like anybody gonna post a comment) but still it feels like something is lacking and I'm not really that happy with it.

This blog is still in experimental process anyway and I can bet you this skin will not be here for long as I'm not really that happy with it either. Its cute and everything but I'm not in love with the colors. As you can see, its green and green is so not my color.


I got this blog from www.ipietoon.com and I found out about this blog skin through one of my favorite youtube guru's, Elle a.k.a AllThatGlitters21. She is amazing, which brings me to my next blog post. I will do a feature on my favorite youtube gurus which I think it will benefit a lot of ladies out there who is looking or starting to do makeup. Some of them are professional makeup artist and some are just your girls next door like you and me who learned how to use makeup through self learning. More about it on my next post, enough jabber for today.

Jabber: New Look!

Like the new look. Well I'M LOVING IT!
The colors and style is just perfect for me.
I got this blog template at www.blogskins.com.
At first I have no idea how to install it, it took me awhile to figure it out and I don't know why it tookl me that long. Its really not that hard at all. I guess is because of my slow connection and I get frustrated way to easy and it just clouded my better judgments of things. Well that's my excuses at least ^^'

But that's all in the past. No reason to dwell on it =P
The blog look way cool now, its not that perfect yet and I'm still browsing for other templates.
This is just the first step for me to make my blog the perfect blog (^_^)

You know you love me,

Jabber: Why owh why?

Why is it when I have the mood to start blogging again my internet line is going on one of it slow frenzy. Its really annoying! I'm quite fed up sometime with my internet provider but what is a girl to do. I have no choice but to use it no mater how slow it is.

I'm thinking about giving the blog a whole new look, so it wont be just a dull black space. Maybe some colors will liven it up and make it look more fun. Even if no one is reading which I know there are non :( but at least it will be enjoyable for me ^_^

If only the line would be stable enough and not let me wait like a half an hour just to load a page, maybe then it would be more bearable for me to revamp this blog. I just cant wait to give it a whole new look that represent more of my personality. Believe it or not, I'm so not a gloomy person ^o^

Jabber: Like OMG!

Just to give this blog a purpose at least =P
Until next time.
