Ok Hell Stage 1 is final-fucking-ly over.

For the past week I have been swimming from Monday to Friday just to meet the contest’s quota. Oh what contest you ask? Let’s rewind back to 6 weeks before.

My close friend ask urging me to try on this slimming contest from the company where she bought her corset from. She has been wearing it for 3 months and I’ve seen significant results. I was quite skeptical with her claim at first but after seeing the results, I’m convinced. She said the corset helped her shape her body. Although she didn’t lose much weight, she did lose inches on her waist and buttocks. The corset somehow made her flesh tighten?

In fact, I was desperate to lose weight. I want my slimmer figure back. So I gave it a try. I paid over a thousand bucks for 2 bottles of essential oils, 6 bottles of slimming cream and a bottle of multi-vitamin supplements. The method that they teach is to make use of steam bathing. But how do you steam bath if you don’t have the facility at home? Their way is to get a big tub, big enough to fit yourself in and fill it with hot water. Then, soak yourself into the tub for 20-30 mins. Before you go into the tub, pour 2 drops of essential oil (of each bottle) into it. Use a small towel to clean yourself with it while you are soaking. The slimming cream will help you burn your fats and while you’re soaking in the tub, the toxin in your body will appear as you clean and you WILL notice the water become murky. At least this is what I have been experiencing although I had to watch my diet and do some exercise too.

The more extreme method would be to massage and ‘torture’ yourself by pinching your fatty area after applying the cream. This is to ensure that your fats are ‘moving’. I’ve seen the actual torture chamber and the women thighs were all covered with bruises T_T. Thats indeed a very sad scene. Thank God I don’t have to go through that. 

After going through stage 2, I was given a full set of corset (3-pc) and 12 bottles of firming cream. I don’t plan to use the cream yet cuz I still wanna lose more weight. So prolly I’ll buy other products to use while continue to do steam baths. My final week of stage 1 was hellish because I was 1.5kg behind the goal. So I had to go swimming everyday and eat minimally. I normally lose 1kg per week but I got bloated during my period so….

Anyway, I hope to see some feedback for those who has tried steam bathing to lose weight. Stage 2’s goal is to get back my deposit *wink. They also give out vouchers for those who manage to lose 10kg or more but you gotta be members to their ‘cult’ which I don’t plan to do. I’ve already reached my goal, that is to get the corset and to lose weight. I noticed there are some stretch marks so the corset is gonna do its magic to make them disappear and to give shape to my soft flesh, heheh. Anything else will be a bonus and anything else which needs me to fork out cash will be smiled off.

I reached at 9.50am and miraculously found a parking at the lorong beside the building. When I went up to the 2nd floor, it was already super crowded! Luckily we don’t have to wait long before the staff open the door for us. The throng of ppl dashed in and scurry through the goods.

I was there yesterday but after looking at the cashier counter queue, my colleagues and I decided to go back to the office. The queue was hellish and the crowd was horrendous. Today is better. The cashiers are amazingly fast and I don’t have to wait much although the queue was long.

I must say I found a lot of my size of clothings, this is pretty rare! I’m a size UK12-UK14 and some of their M fits me (must be some kind of lable defect so it ended up in the sale :P)! But don’t go for XDYE brand of clothes cuz their L is like an M -_-. Bought 2 and with the color I adore too! Basically the cutting is a bit smaller, it still fits but it was very tight at the sleeves *sniff. I’m posting them up for sale if anyone is interested. Brand new and with tag! I also recommend Massimo Dutti’s clothes as they feel and look more durable although not as fashionable and could be more expensive. They have loads of Zara and TRF bins and they are at reasonable prices. You should really go for the RM39.90 and above ones as the lower price ones tend to have more defects. But if you don’t mind, the RM9.90 bins have quite a few treasures too, alot of tanks though. There’s a section for jeans too and belts and shoes but I didn’t check those out. Jeans starts from RM79.90.

All in all, I recommend this warehouse sale! I’ll rate it 8/10 for the range of clothes, the distance from my house and effectiveness of cashier counters!

Ahhhhh!!! I knew it when I saw it advertised on Sunway’s Internal Mailer. This is the Korean cosmetics shop where my Korean friend bought the eyeshadow and nail polish for me last time (I think, but it was written as Étude in the old packaging)! And the image is so not what I have in mind because the packaging that I got last time was quite a serious and simple one, quite like Mac’s. However the color is very striking and lasting. The nail polish is super fast to dry and the color stays very long. She sent 2 colors to me, black and electric blue. None of these colors were available in M’sia that time hahaha. Or maybe I just couldn’t find it. ANYWAYYYYY, the Etude shop is so cute that I can’t help but notice it from far!

At a glance, it’s very PINK and GIRLY but later on I find that the interior is very soothing and not so pink. In fact, it has a cream+white+pink combination and gives a very princess vibe. The brand very much reminds me of Majolica Majorca but I try not to put them together, especially the packaging >_<. I must say that the pricing is slightly lower than MJ’s. But in detailing, Etude fails in giving a longer lasting impression. The testers are not very well maintained so the nail polishes that I tried were very thick and hard to dry. Some of the wordings on the packaging faded as well. Some of them are not very user friendly also (hard to open cases, stuck on the acrylic, etc). I got confused because the testers on the shelves were the same as the testers on the island bar.

The nail polish that I bought was a dark purple with shimmer that cost only RM11.90. And it looks really good hahaha! The eyeshadow pieces were also cheap! RM15 I think, for each. I also bought a lip tint in red. I’ve never used any tint before and the closest to buying one was from Benefit, which would cost me a bomb. And I put it on my lips, it looks cute, it gives a very healthy look. But my complain would be it’s too sticky, it felt like drinking coke and not wiping my mouth. It’s quite lasting though so maybe I’ll try to put clear gloss over the tint and see if it’ll continue to irritate me. I was tempted to buy the cream blusher which looked like my favourite blusher (it’s already extinct, bought in 100yen shop for RM4.90) effect but I couldn’t make up my mind on which color to get. The pink and orange has a glowing shimmer effect and the red has a matte but darker color effect. I like red’s color but I like the pink/orange’s glow. So in the end I didn’t buy any of it cuz the shop was about to close.

I’ll definitely pay another visit to the shop cuz it’s so lovely and I would want to spend more time to look at what they have to offer. Unfortunately, they do not have a product booklet. They do have a skincare line as well but I’m not really keen on that part. I do hope that they’ll produce a product booklet so that potential customers can get more knowledge on what Etude have to offer.

The old packaging that I received from my Korean friend when I was 16?

Love the new box and the bottle design!

Woohoo! Wad do you know? The fabulous Majolica Majorca cosmetics is in MALAYSIA!! Yes, we are expecting them to hit the stores as early as TOMORROW, Friday 26 September 2008! Teehee! Gone were the days where I have to buy them online… The price ranges from RM15.90 to RM59.90. Below is the list for the stores that carries them. But fear not, the list will grow in November, where the official launching will happen. I will be there, of course, to update you girls about the event!

If you donno what to get to test the brand’s power, I have to stress that the MASCARAS are the one that you HAVE to go for. They are long lasting and MOST of all, THEY WORK!!! Check out the Majolook Trick On eyeshadow as well as the colors are really vibrant and cool looking!

Why do I sound like an advertisement board >_<. I just love this brand to bit. Much more than other luxurious cosmetics brands. Gosh, look at the wonderful, well-thought packaging! The packaging design totally rocks! The details on the naming and the colors! But I tell you the stuff really works. My personal favourite is definitely the mascara, the liquid eyeliner, the jeweling eyeliner and the eyeshadow. The black jeweling eyeliner is so dark it made my eyes looked 20% bigger? And it lasts. One thing I love about it is because it is in a pencil format, not the lead type, detest those, eww. Though, I find that the blusher wasn’t as impressive. Do try Rouge Majex cuz I just tested one of the deep pink, it looks really luscious, kakakak! Grab a product booklet while you’re at it to study the available products. And erm.. *ahem* it’s adapted by yours truly.

Last but not least, Majolica Majorca is only available at Watsons stores. And watch out for freebies too! Oh and do give the website a visit and be impressed!

My first impression was, “Why so many MMORPG booths”?
Ok…so I went to meet up with Tzeling first and had our lunch. Initially Kinyu and I wanted to go to Jln Silang to have our Beef Ball Noodles. But it was closed and we still have to pay for the 5-mins parking T_T, it was 4 bucks alright….

So after lunch we went down to the 3rd floor of Times Square to see a few cosplayers scattered here and there posing for pictures. I saw a lot of familiar faces, mostly from the Comic Fiesta crowd. Comic Fiesta has a booth there as well, with Kidchan demonstrating her uber drawings skill and Ben (from Powder/ex-Gempak) giving out autographs. After that, we went and check our other booths. To our dismay, there were only MMORPG booths. Now where does “Animation” and “Comics” in Animation, Comics and Games Convention disappear to? If there aren’t gonna be any animation/comics, why do they bother to name the convention as such. I don’t even want to go into the fact that it was held openly, unlike Comic Fiesta. There weren’t much cosplayers also, most are recycled costumes or bad cosplays. I think the only cosplayer which appear to be better than most was the Kyo (King of Fighter) cosplayer who could spark out fire from his hands!! But that’s the only good bits. Oh and I saw a friend’s brother, who was a hired cosplayer for Cabal. Hot guy he is, very much like Daniel Wu.
