review: ettusais facial cotton

the facial cotton I used before had a common problem: leaving wool on the face.

this was really annoying.
until one day, I read other blogs and knew there were a lot of better/good cottons that will not leave wool on the face.

this was the third facial cotton I tried which was not leaving anything but toner on my face~

ettusais patting cotton.


It was RM14 for a box of 60. quite pricey.


instructions and introductions behind the box, in Japanese


It even showed us the correct way to use the cottons.


the cotton. very big piece.
one cotton is already enough for me to remove my heavy waterproof eye make up.



I really like this cotton as it did its job perfectly!
After trying the cotton from TBS, Yokoso Japan and etude house,
I must say this is the best~

However, this is also the most expensive.
I saw a Taiwan blogger introduce a cotton like this where she bought in Taiwan's Watson.
I did not notice the price and volume but I guess, tat would be cheaper than this.

Cons:
  1. dos not leave wool on the face
  2. very big
  3. nice absorption of liquid
  4. nice packing
  5. good quality
Pros:
  1. a bit pricey compare to some brands
  2. only available at ettusais, Isetan
will I repurchase it?

yes, If they mark down the price or increase the volume.
or when there are no other cottons can impress me.

A birthday luch @ Michealangelo @ Pavilion

It was my birthday. We made it at pavilion as I attended a workshop nearby in the morning.


We chose Michealangelo because of my love for the master pieces...

There was not much customer dining here for lunch and the design was a bit special.
There was a bar right in the middle of the shop



As for inside, you could see a lot of sculptures on the wall.


The kitchen was just beside us. It was an open kitchen.





One thing I did not like here was the utensils.
Look carefully and you could see many scratches on the spoons.
This is so disgusting!!!!!



Our meals:

some kind of chicken with sauce( I can hardy remember the name now...)

this was so so


spaghetti with beef
this was nice! I don't like beef but I like this!


mushroom soup
too little but nice too~ very good. must try!!!


These are what I can remember now about the lunch. I had not return for another dine in after that because there are still a lot of restaurant to try out there~

bad cupcakes...

bought these cupcakes from a shop at The Gardens,Mid Valley.
3cupcakes cost me RM28
looked very nice~~


yellow:ginger
pink:vanilla
blue:chocolate




can you see the thick layer between the cake and icing?
it's a THICK layer of CREAM!!!!!!

I was not sure when I ate the first cupcakes but when I looked at the second and third, I was pretty sure .

How could people put a thick layer of cupcake just to smooth the surface so they could decorate it with icing???


It was really disgusting and I threw away the cream.

can anyone imagine how small the cake was so they had to insert a thick layer of cream so the cupcake fit the cup?

I paid RM28 for something like these??!!
It was the most unworthy money I spent!!!

I am sure that I will never ever go back to the shop for their cupcakes!!!!!!! yuck~

nail art-"mixed grapes"

Did it myself.

  1. apply purple colour on the sides of nail. leave empty in middle
  2. apply green colour in the middle
  3. use a trnsparent nail colour to smudge the 2 colours.


step 1 and 2

the result

Nail colours:

Elianto lemon green
Elianto purple
In2it transparent

late - promotion by Elianto+Sally Hansen haul

It was the same day with origin event "be the change".

Before the event started, I visited Elianto's booth in front of Jusco. they were having promotion.

I like Elianto's nail polish because it is cheap and have a big variety of colours.

I made a purchese of nail polish above RM100 and I was given a free make up and A4 photo.


my look



my haul:nail colours+nail removers free gifts:ginseng moisturizer+blusher

Then, I went to Watso to buy these:
SallyHansen french manicure, double duty and miracle cure

There were onsale but the discount I got was different from the discount stated in the booklet....
got cheated?

Here is a brief review of the Elianto Ginseng Moisturizing Cream.
It came in a long but thin tube.



The texture was smooth and a bit watery.



However, I did not finish it and it was my first time being so watefu by throwing away something when it was still full.
I am not a person who like to waste if you know me but I could hardly bear with the plastic-like scent of this cream!!!!!

There was no Ginseng scent but a very very strong plastic smell!!!
I asked otheres to tell me what was the smell and the answers were the same : plastic-like!!!!!!!
I dared not to apply it on my face ad discarded it while it was still full.....

I would rather wasted it... Who know if there would be redness/pathcess/allergic caused?

The conclusion: I will never ever buy any face products from Elianto...

I wonder if there are people liking their face products os anyone had the same experince???
