warehouse sale? or counter?

There are a lot of warehouse sale throughout the year.


As a smart consumer, we must know what can we get at warehouse sale what can't, when shall we shop, which shop gives the best deal, which brand is never worth buying at the counter/kiosk....


In my opinion,Parkson gives the best deal for:

1. double vouchers day
2. Bonuslink member day(free sign up for Bonuslink card)
3. free 2 hours parking in selected outlets
4. free Elite card for purchases RM500 and above
5. almost all brands of cosmetics and fragrances can be found there

As for warehouse sale, we can get very very cheap cosmetics and fragrances there.

Hence, I do not think buying those brands which held w/h sale from the counters/kiosks
are worth.

Why don't I wait until the w/h sale so I save a lot rather than getting samples/gifts?

These brands are in my black list, unless they really have great promotions,
I will not buy from counters/kiosks:

1. Christian Dior
2. Shu Uemura
3. Bioherm
4. Kiehl's
5. Mac
6. Lancome
7. Kose
8. Kanebo
9. Benefit
10. Clarins
11. Laniege
12. Paul and Joe
13. Givenchy
14. Origins .....

I was told that there will be no more w/h sale for Anna Sui starting from this year. true or not, we will see.

Lastly, it is normally cheaper to purchase online than from counters. Some companies even give out free gifts but not as much as from counters. Still, my aim is to save money and space for storing so is is a good way to shop.

samples without spending~~

Went to Mid Valley with sister last Tuesday and we did no shopping but manage to get these samples,without spending~~~

• Dior - moisturizer
• Shu Uemura - cleansing oil x2
• Kiehl's - deep pore cleansing masque
  

It's nice to receive samples without costing a cent but the face the SA shown was really bad sometimes, especially for some brands.

Still, the story here is: we are consumers and we have the rights to try the samples before buying. Do be brave to ask!!!

make up in sweat-my thoughts

I noticed that in Malaysia, we, except those staying all day in air-cond room, need to bear with the hot climate the whole year.

I am a girl who can easily sweat and sweat a lot. I always do a full face make up even if I now I'm going to walk under the sun. However, I had never complain on my make up being smudge or what.

How did I do that??

I am no expert in make up, but after some thinking and observations, I guess it's due to the foundation.
I applied liquid foundation,follow by concealer,highlighter and loose powder. I had always been looking for good and natural way to apply the foundation as I believe that a good foundation keeps the make up all day long.

I never wipe my face but to press the tissue on sweating and oily area. This can prevent the make up falling/removing from the face.

If I am going to stay till late noon or night, I will bring along the compact powder and do the touch up. My limit is to stay till 3pm if I sweat. After 3pm, I will try to get the chance to touch up. If I really have no time for touching up, I will use oil blotter to absorb the oil on my face. But my face wil look bad compare to morning. Touch up is very important!!
