Catrice Ultimate Lipstick Review

Catrice is finally here! After reading reviews on the net, I decided to give this brand a try.

I purchased the Allround Concealer Pallette and the Ultimate Colour Lipstick in 140 Pinker-bell. I haven't tried the Allround Concealer yet. I purchased it because it has the pink colour concealer and I'm curious to see if the pink will cancel my under eye circles.

I wore the lipstick today and it lasted a lot longer than I thought it would. It was moisturising enough (a VERY important requirement on my lipstick buying list). I love the bright colour.  It's a pigmented creamy lipstick that goes on smoothly.

Steve Madden Handbag

I've been browsing for a nice, trendy and affordable handbag suitable for work recently. Oftentimes I would find something I like but the price tag is just way out of my budget and not something that I can justify splurging on.

I went in to the Nine West store in the Gardens Mall and saw a brown coloured bag that I liked but unfortunately, they didn't have one in stock (they just had the display bag). So, after asking them to check out for stocks in other stores, I was directed to the Nine West outlet in Robinsons which is just around the corner and in the same mall.

Upon getting there though, I discovered two things: one, the bag that I was after, although was displayed on the shelf in Robinsons, they too, didn't have any in stock and two, I saw the bag that I eventually purchased in the Steve Madden outlet which happens to be right next to Nine West. Although I liked the Nine West bag's design, I preferred the material of the Steve Madden Bag more. Moreover, the Steve Madden Bag was slightly cheaper than the Nine West bag, so, win! :)

After finding out recently that Maybank Treats Points have expiry dates and are good for only 3 years. So, with that in mind, I went ahead and traded some of my Maybank Treats Points for Robinsons gift vouchers and purchased this Steve Madden handbag :)

I'm glad that I didn't purchase the bag in H&M a few months back. This bag looks way nicer :) It's roomy (read that to mean that I can thrown in loads of things into it including a book, newspaper, a bottle of water for those hot days and perhaps small shopping purchases on top of my regular handbag things) and hopefully it'll last me a long time.

On Being Blacklisted

I finally received my Sephora Black Card after months of wait. I reached my 250 points in November last year but only received my Black Card recently. The customer service of Sephora sucks.

Note: The card comes personalised with my name and card number which I have taken liberty to edit out of the photo.

AEON BiG Gift Card

My steam iron decided to retire a few days ago without giving me prior notice. I discovered this in the morning when I was trying to iron my top for work.

So, after shopping around for a replacement iron, I decided to purchase one from AEON BiG Mid Valley since I could trade in my Maybank Treats Points for a AEON BiG Gift Card worth RM105 at the Maybank Credit Card Centre in the Gardens Mall. I used the gift card to not only purchase an iron but also some groceries and I've still got a balance on the card! I'm not complaining :)
