Geo Lenses Rambles....

Hello...

Bought a pair of Geo lense in CM834 (Brown or Honey watever u call it...) from SpreesAtShoppingDistrict. Not gonna elaborate much on the lenses coz everyone knws about this lenses...So main purpose of this is to actlly compliment the seller..(no im not paid to do this post nor am i tying to get anything out of it..) So let me start...

I placed my order via the email add/order form stated on 23rd Nov...Almost immediately they replied regarding the payment details..(plus point)

Website said will take less than 2weeks for pre order to arrive(coz i nid lenses with degree)...(plus point again coz dats considered fast)

I made my payment on the 25th Nov and again immediate reply on payment received..(one more plus point)

On 6th Dec,got an emailed from them saying order arrived and i will receive it within the next 3 days(meaning by 9th Dec rite?)...(plus point coz of the prompt service)

8th Dec, received my lenses in the mail with a free lense casing...!!!(2 plus points coz received earlier than expected n i wasnt expecting a lense caes as well..)

Total Points: Many many coz im happy with her service...Ok u guys may say so wats the big deal..??? well lets go to part 2 of my ramble..

I wasnt planning to order from the above website coz i have already ordered 2 pair of lense from another website..(shall not put the link yet coz i have yet to received my order..!!!!! So pissed as i start typing this)... So here's the story..Lets call it websiteB

T&C for this websiteB:

-Pre-order may take +/- 3-4weeks to arrive after our closing date>>>>i wont comment on this coz pre order usually take a while

-Full payment must be made within 2 days upon confirmation of orders. >>>no comment either coz standard procedure

-Will not be giving out mobile number to cut cost>>>>>>y? r u scared or someting? want to run away izzit?

- if we do not have the power u want, we will give u the nearest power e.g +/- 25 or 50 degree>>>>>>WTFH? This is not rite..!!!! its ppl eyes and u r giving them the degree anyhow?????

Anyway...i ordered still...ya i knw im dumb..shouldnt have..but if only i had come across SpressAtShoppingDistrict earlier....

So..i ordered on 24th OCTOBER and got replied on the same day for payment transfer details..Made my payment on the

27th OCTOBER and email her to inform her..emailed her again on 1st Nov to let her knw i have paid and also enquire on hw to check spree status and got a late reply regarding payment received on the 1st Nov..email also state that she will b uploading status via notes on her wbsites..(She said the cut off date for payment is 30th OCt)...reason for her late reply coz she was overseas so not internet access...>>>>y am i hightlighting this...later part u will know....

3 weeks later, checked her website,nothing is updated..emailed her about it on 21Nov but no reply...emailed her again on 23Nov still no reply...>>> i juz want to knw order status la...

Got a reply on 25Nov..she said cnnt reply coz phone is servicing so no email access>>>>ok rmbr the blue highlighted part? she got blackberry wat...go overseas can use rite blackberry phone?hw i knw she is using bb? coz email state sent via blackberry.. ok so she said parcel in transit..will mail out next week....>>>meaning latest by Sat 4th Dec rite? i use calendar for the estimated calculation ok...so if she reli does send out by that time..i would have gotten it by nw(9th) or tmr latest(10th) U do the calculation..am i rite in this?

ok...hw many weeks hs it been since i ordered? Say about almost 6weeks...she said +/- 3-4wks rite??? BULLSHIT...!!!!!!!!!!!!

im pissed becoz after 4 weeks i sent her more than 3emails to ask her about it, how many did she reply..???

NONE...!!!!!!!!!!!WTF!!!!!!!!!!  am i wrong to get pissed?

So girls...wat should i do nw...???im EFFING MAD..!!! do advice me on this please......bcoz of her i nid to urgently buy another lenses few days ago...SUPER MAD...!!!!!!!!

I forgot to take a picture of all her hauls...she too did some hauling..all thanx to me..hehehe...

Hair care is for Hubby..I regret not getting the blue hydro-powder eyeshadow as well..the 1 i got is like hightlighter colour... :(

So after that we head to Taka to visit some frenz but end up in Watson coz she did not manage to her ZA Two-way foundation.. watson was having the limited edition pack.. Went in with the intention of getting the Vaseline whitening moisturising lotion but went to the cashier with these:

There was only the Capture Totale Foundation left and a few perfumes and lipstick which i dun even bother to look coz i wanted to get mascara n blusher but im greeted with just this few items... WTH??? They jus replenished like 30mins ago n its all gone..???? Ok its my 1st time going to a cosmetic sale .thus my reaction and disappointment...

SOB SOB SOB...not wanting to left empty handed,i grabbed the foundatio coz i swatched an it matches my skin..so i was out of the room in 5mins... Cashier Q was long n had to wait for another 30mins with juz 1 item in my hand n none on my sis's....... SOB SOB SOB again...!!!!

Loreal Sale in Expo

it was an unplanned trip to the sale but since me n hubby were already der, i decided to pull hubby along to the sale after we had our fill of Texas Chicken.. Sadly,ytd was the last day of the sale n heris what we got..

Hubby Skincare..both were going at $10 each...Lately hubby is into anti aging...funny thing is he doesnt even bother in the past..he just use soap to wash his face..i guess he see's age is catching up on him nw..haha..anw..this is what he got:

-Loreal Men Expert Vita Lift Eye ($10)

-Loreal MEn Expert Vita Lift Re-Tightening Moisturizer ($10)

Being pregnant is not all rosy when stretch mark starts to appear so i had to get the Vichy cream..

-GARNIER Anti Wrinkle Firming Eye Cream ($8)

-VICHY COmplete Action Anti Stretch MArk Cream ($10)

-Loreal Revitalift Liquid Foundation SPF20/PA++ ($15)

(Liquid foundation with anti-ageing serum inside...im not reli into anti aging but i reli dun knw why i grabbed this..My main concern now is melamin n pigmentation increment due to pregnancy..also one of the reason i did not get any skincare from the sale coz im waiting for TBS Members sale to get their whitening range..)

-Loreal Texturising styling paste ( 2 for $10)

-Loreal Spray Creation (2 for $10)

Total Spent: $63

 

The reason i did not get much makeup at the sale is coz im waiting for Dior Cosmetic sale on the coming 24th which my sister invited me to coz she is a staff of Dior...So  im keeping my hands to myslf for now...

Smashbox Flawless kit review

A while ago i bought the smashbox flawless kit and i've gotta to say i got mixed feelings about this imo....

Primer

What it Does: Reduce the apperance of fine lines and pores. Wear alone or under foundation. Lightweight and oil free.

What i thought: After applying, it feels like those mattifying primer which i dun reli like coz it makes my skin dry but it does reduce the appearance of my pores..I would prefer those kind og moisturising makeup base/primer like Benefit 'that gal' brightening primer. So i would gv it 2/5.

 

Concealer

What It Does: Conceal imperfections and dark circles. Soft focus pearls deflect light to minimise the appearance of blemishes and fine lines. Provides buildable coverage.

What i thought: As u can see in the above pic, it does cover my imperfections(pigmentation on my cheeks) but not fully coz i just apply a lil bit..but u can build  it up..It does cover my undereyes quite well as well coz thats another concern of mine..also easy to blend..So i wld gv it a 3.5/5.

 

Foundation

What it does: oil free with buildable coverage. Packed with anti-aging, revitalising,and firming ingredients that will work over time. UVA/UVB SPF15.

WHat i thought: Blendable, medium to full coverage..Overall my skin does not look cakey or too much makeup...I wld gv it a 3.5/5

 

Halo to go hydrating powder

What it does: Minimise signs of agin.

What i thought: Colour doesnt match at all..it way much darker that the foundation colour..DOes not add more coevrage to set my foundation. A no for me..1/5

 

So overall...i would gv it a 2.5/5 coz i only like the concealer n foundation...would i buy it again? Mayb just the concealer and foundation..other that that..i would skip....

PS..this is not a paid review.. All are in my honest opinion.. U do not nid to agree on my review coz we all have different skin type and preference..

Finally..I have graduated....

Yes...I have graduated from The School Of Makeup yesterday...We had our exam ytd n i was the top scorer for the pratical exam part but not on the theory part..

Will b getting my Diploma in Professional Makeup on 27 Nov and im so excited..We had buffet after the graduation picture was taken... My classmate nad i had so much fun coz teh stress is finally over...WOOOHHHOOOOO....!!!

But on a sad side, im gonna miz all of my calssmate..they are such a fun bunch of ppl to be with..doing projects together...going out for assignment together..n it doesnt limit to juz during classes..sometimes we jux go out together for fun and we will b cracking jokes n pushing each other to b better in class irregardless on practical or theory...So here's our graduation photo and some camwhoring while waiting for the results to b evaluated..

 

 

 

As for the Pratical Exam..we were given pictures and we were supposed to re-create the look as close as possible n here are mine...my sis was my model for the day and her are my looks...

My sis wif her bare face...

 

1st look was Nude Makeup(Natural for skincare ads)         2nd look was Dramatic Makeup(60's Style cut crease)

   

 

So...im happy with the results though we were all rushing against time like speed cars...Now all that this is completed..its time for me to focus on my little one hu is growing actively inside me...
