Vibrating mascaras

Mascaras with vibrating brushes are the "in" thing right now.


Lancome Oscillation

This is the first vibrating mascara by Lancome. Perfect lashes will be yours just at the touch of a button. The vibration mimics the technicques of professional makeup artists. Lashes look fuller, longer and perfectly seperated.

Estee Lauder Turbolash

The auto-powered vibrating brush gives you magnified volume, daring length, curl and separation. All at once. Patent pending. But then how come other makeup brands are producing similar vibrating mascaras as well?

I don't know how effective these vibrating mascaras are. Haven't tried it yet. When I was in London, all deparmental stores were promoting the Lancome Oscillation, but I didn't dare to come near the Lancome counter as they have a GIANT mascara brush (taller than me!) and it's vibrating all around. Scary.

Miss me???

Arrived safely in KL today (Friday) at 7pm.

Will update more about my trip some other time. I'm so freakin tired.

Anyway, briefly...

5 THINGS I LOVE ABOUT U.K
(Besides the fashion and the shopping)

1. Cadbury Mini Eggs
2. Innocent smoothies

While in London, all I ever drank was this. I've tried all the flavours. So yummy. The great thing about this drink is that it is made of 100% pure and fresh fruit. No sugar, no added water, no concentrate. Nothing else. One bottle is equivalent to two portions of fruit. Plus, it contains lots of fibre so you'll feel full longer.

3. All the fashion mags there come in travel sizes

Elle, InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire...all came in small sizes. So cute!

4.The polite people

5.Reading is a culture there

People read everywhere. In trains, at cafes, etc.

Bye!

Tonight I'm off to Heathrow. Will be in London for a week. Already booked the B&B. I hope I've made the right decision.

I had shortlisted 3 B&Bs. One in Notting Hill, and two in Bayswater (Leisure Inn and Hyde Park Whiteleaf). My dad told me to find out which one is the nearest to the tube station. All three are near to tube stations. So I made my decision based on the guest reviews.

I rejected the one in Notting Hill because one of the reviews said that the toilets need repairing. One of the B&Bs in Bayswater (Leisure Inn) received this one bad review that says the place is filthy, the staffs are rude and things like that. So I booked Hyde Park Whiteleaf. It has no review. Uh-oh. I hope I made the right choice.

Today before I leave for UK, had a date with my bf at Pavillion. Bought more neccessities that I forgot to buy yesterday: facial blotting papers, cotton pads, nasal spray and a Little Black Dress book.

We had lunch at Pastamania. Gosh, I just love it there!

I'm not really a fan of pizzas but I had to say that this one is really,really good. The best pizza I've ever tasted. The ingredients are so fresh! The mushrooms and capsicums are so juicy.

We ordered Italian sodas (me: mango, him:passionfruit). Taste like Esprit. But I love it though.

I ordered Spicy Chicken pasta. The picture's really crappy. Didn't capture the "deliciousness" of the pasta.

I can't stand the thought of being on the plane for 13 hours. This is what I hate about travelling. The whole "getting-there" process.

Will take lots of pics. I hope I won't look like shit once I'm there.

I miss my blog so much!!!

It's 22nd January!

I won't have to look at any lecture notes from now on! (Or at least, for a few days. After mid term break, I have wastewater test.)

You see, that's the nature of my course. Every subject has 2 mid term tests (except for non-core subjects, they only have 1 mid term exam). So let's say if this semester I'm taking 6 subjects. 5 core subjects and 1 non-core.

5 core subjects x 2 tests = 10 tests

10 test + 1 non-core subject mid term = 11 tests.

11 tests + 6 final exams = 17 tests!!!!

Total tests taken in 1 semester is 17.

So those who are planning to take up civil engineering (or at least civil engineering in Uniten), think again.

Actually I've finished my test two days ago. Just when I thought I could relax, suddenly yesterday my lecturer announced that we're going to have another test (test 2) today! So I had just one night to study. Eeeeiii...benci la surprise2 macam ni...

The past two weeks had been the longest, most stressful two-weeks of my life. Not only I was strugging to finish studying everything for my tests, I got other problems as well. In one of my previous posts I mentioned that I have a sleep problem (I sleep way too much), so trying to stay awake during the examination period was a challenge. I had to drink lots of tea to make me stay alert as I don't drink coffee(If I'm not mistaken, tea contains caffeine but at the same time it helps you relax. Right?). I got ulcer on my bottom lip, and my right foot ached. My mum gave me a foot massage and told me not to wear high heels anymore. I don't blame the heels for my foot ache, coz actually, it's my toes that ached. If the pain is caused by high heels, then I would feel painful at the ball of my foot. OK now I'm babbling nonsense.

Anyways...

Don't you just love the after-exam feeling??

Heehee.

A note to my readers...

Please don't get bored of my blog due to the lack of updates lately.
I have tests everyday starting this Friday (16 January).
Will be back next week on Thursday (22 January) with more interesting news and updates.
:D

Newsflash!

-Next sem I won't be staying in campus anymore. I'll be driving from home everyday! Hee...I can't wait!!

-I'm getting my braces after Chinese New Year! Hehe...I'm so excited! The good thing is that, it is a temporary braces, which means that I can take it off when I eat, or when I'm dating. And it costs RM1600 only!!! Braces usually cost RM4k.

-I'm going to London during the mid term break! At first my family planned to go to either London/Dubai (where we have relatives staying,so the accomodation is free!). Dubai is my first choice coz I've never been there, but my uncle's place is about 2 hours from town. So then London it is. Unfortunately, my aunt's house there is full (unless if we are willing to sleep on the couch. I'm not. I need some privacy). So now we're looking for a cheap bed & breakfast. But this trip isn't confirmed yet. If it's on, then it will be my 8th or 9th trip to London. Huhu.

People always tell me that I should be more adventurous and start exploring other countries, instead of going to London, London, London. But I ignore these comments. I like it there, it's convenient(getting around town). And I know my way around.The currency is expensive (but now it's down to 5.40), but the things there are worth buying. Like Claire's. I wish Claire's will open a store in KLCC soon! Hehe.

And everytime I went to London, I will not miss the chance to take pictures at Kensington Gardens (my fav place). I think I can construct a timeline, me at age 13,14,15,16,17 and 19...all taken at Kensington Gardens. Yeah, boring, I know.

I really hope that my dad can find a cheap B&B! If not, then the trip's off!

Urgh...I got 4 tests coming up. Must.Not.Procrastinate.

Shampoo

Oh, I'm sooo glad I finally found you, Himalaya Protein Shampoo for greasy hair!!!

I've been searching all around for you!!


Hehe. Fyi, this shampoo is the shampoo I've been using all these while. It's really good.

Then I saw the Clairol's Dangerously Straight shampoo. I fell in love with it's cute packaging and nice smell. But when I used it, my hair started to fall off! How could I've been so shallow?? It's known worldwide that Clairol's Herbal Essences is the worst shampoo ever!

After that, my mum reccommended the Cosway aloe vera shampoo. It's supposed to strengten my hair. It contains pure aloe vera. But it made no difference. My hair still fall off. I checked the ingredients. It contains ammonium laureth sulphate, which is more harsh than the sodium laureth sulphate contained in Clairol. When I was using Himalaya, my hair did fall off, but not much. The shampoo contains 100% herbal actives, no harsh chemicals at all.

So that's why I decided to go back to my original shampoo. I've been searching for it for quite awhile but couldn't find it. At last I found it in Himalaya KLCC. Yay! I'm so sorry, shampoo! I promise I will be loyal to you from now on.
