Sephora
I was so in luck this thurs.
I happened to be in Ngee Ann City on thurs, and I happened to walk past Sephora that day. It was opened for a private event, and the opening was yesterday at 4pm. I was asking a man who was guarding the entrance what brands are available, and he let me in to have a look! He said that it's okay, and that since there is not many people ard, he let me in to have a look. And the funniest thing was, he said "Take your time mdm!" I was so shocked and happy that I called Zoe! Haha... and Zoe tried the same thing too, but it didn't work for her! Haha! I really feel that I was so happy!
It was really good to be in Sephora before the opening, because after the opening it was simply full with people. And what's better, I got a personal beauty adviser! She told me which products are good, which are suitable for me and others. If I wasn't on a budget, I would surely swipe the whole store of products away... However, I admit that I was a little disappointed. They brought in a lot of counter brands like Benefit, Estee, Dior, Clarins, Lancome... which is like easily available to consumers in normal departmental stores. What I was really looking forward was Urban Decay (I heard their eye shadow is really good), derma, smashbox (looks good but I wasn't sure...) The only good thing was that you can try those counter makeup without worrying someone is in front of you breathing down your neck to buy their items =) And since I was inside before most people, I get to try most sample first, which is nice. Most of the makeup items are not even opened lah! But the most attractive item is surprisingly for me, the Sephora own brand. It looks more interesting than the normal Dior or Estee makeup because there is nothing special in those brands being in Sephora outlet.
And so, I bought a body lotion and a lip balm! The body lotion (with grapefruit smell which is so good and which Zoe can tell straight away the moment she opened it...) can be used as a heel cream if I want (my cracked heel is a lil better now) And the person threw in a message oil sample for good measure... (anyway, the body lotion got lots of different smell. got chocolate too! makes u want to eat it!)
I am a happy girl.
Hmm, something a little random here. I realised that I haven't posted the picture I took with Linda when I went out lunch with her, and she's waiting for me to send her the picture! Yikes! Here you go Linda Darling!
Anyway, this week has been busy busy for me. Been out with mum on wed, and she bought a lot of stuff for me again =) I am very blessed that I have parents who love me so much. My mum was darned worried when I was having chills and fever during my tooth extraction... Yes, it can be due to me being the only child again, but I think it's natural for parents to love their children =) And I love them as much as they love me, which makes us a loving family!
Next wk, meeting with Adeline, Zoe, out with mum, xmas in huiteng's house and my mum and I are starting a new HK drama series again! And 1 more month till I see Lucas again! I can't wait!
