Loreal Warehouse Sales

Yes. If you were at the Loreal Warehouse sales last Thursday in Dataran Hamodal, PJ, I was one of the crazy women grabbing every Loreal/Maybelline/Garnier product like they were gold ! LOL !

My colleague and I snuck out to Dataran Hamodal during lunch time (and yes, we sacrifice our lunch time to go shopping) last Thursday. And boy, it was well worth it! The items there are sold at AT LEAST 50% off the normal price. If you are a Loreal fan, this event is not to be missed.

I’ve been using Loreal products on and off. I like their White Perfect skincare range. I’ve also been icthing to try out Loreal’s True Match range. I got them there all in the warehouse sales and at a cheap cheap price ! Check them out :

Cleanser and  toner from White Perfect range – RM10 per set

Day and night cream from White Perfect range - RM25 per set

Garnier eye cream – RM10

Double Essence also from White Perfect range – RM25

Maybelline UV Base in purple (anti-dullness) – RM10

My favourite Mascara Maybelline XXL (the last waterproof mascara that I managed to grab !)- RM25

Loreal White Perfect PEEL – RM35

I also grabbed the True Match foundation for RM25 (or was it RM30? don’t remember) and True Match compact powder refill(the compact powder was sold out so I grabbed the refill) for RM20. Sorry no photos.

This is actually the first time I’ve been to a Loreal Warehouse sales. According to some ‘veterans’, this is held every 2 times a year and the deals are really great, as you can see from my purchases. :)

The fastest item to dissappear were the Loreal makeup removers. Next I guess was the waterproof mascaras, based on the fact that I managed to grab 1 (ONLY!) mascara.

Some of the items I grabbed, I’ve tried before like that White Perfect range, Maybelline XXL mascara. The others I’ve not tried them, but am eager too. I will write some review on the items once I’ve tried it.

One interesting purchase is the Loreal White Perfect PEEL. I’ve not seen this sold anywhere before, but I have read about it on magazines and some Singapore website. This product is a at-home peeling kit. Something like a chemical peel, but much milder and can be done without professional help.  It claims to brighten brown spots and reduce skin dullness. Well, anything that says brighten brown spots, I’m in. I have lots of brown spots on my cheeks…arrrggghh. I definitely will try this and review it later.

 

 

 

 

 

I sound like a frog

I’m sick once again, the usual ’set lunch’, you know, sore throat, flu, cough. :( (

Last weekend, my sore throat caused me to lose my voice a bit. At times, I croaked. At times, I sounded like Eric Tsang. LOL ! And perhaps Hubs has never seen me lose my voice before, he can’t quite believe it. When he called to check on me, he kept asking me ‘why you sound like that?‘, I told me ‘I sore throat mah‘….then he was like ’??…..you were sleeping is it?‘….Me : ‘*croaking*No, I lost my voice‘….Hubs : ‘why you sound like that??…‘ LOL !

Now, sore throat is no more. It’s been replace with non-stop coughing. Cough till I can’t sleep at night. I initially resisted taking any medication, but since I can’t sleep, I took cough syrup at night to help me sleep.

Ah well, at least I’m recovering fairly quickly this time. 3-4 years ago, when I fall sick it takes 2-3 weeks to fully recover even if it’s just flu and cough. Back then, my usual dinner were at the mamak and I don’t eat fruits. A better diet really makes a difference.

This morning when I woke up, there’s a cup of boiled apple water waiting for me at the dining table. Hubs has made them for me :) ) According to him, boiled apple water helps worrr…

Did it work ? erm…still coughing like crazy worr…

dear…I think I need a few more cups…. ;p
