Acer & Intel "PLAYsure Redefined" Party

Went with sister Charis to the launch of Acer's latest gadgets under the "PLAYsure Redefined" Party last Thursday night before Wesak. 

So as I had to go for my intern during the day and had no time to go home and prepare for the party, what I did was this:

daytime

ta-dah!

and....night time!
Accessorized, braided my hair, slapped on some makeup

Wore a flirty dress over my party dress to work and took it off after, hehe!
Was happy lahh, because I finally had chance to wear my H&M 70s' glittery cardigan :D

Some pictures of the party:

Food! which although wasn't the reason we were there, played an integral part in the party
Can't have a party without food, you know

Products lined up for display!

Anyways Acer is having a competition for most interesting/creative tweet or instagram picture, so go ahead and join la  if you want to win some Acer gadgets :)

Lighting was bad, what do you expect in a party XD

Oh and some update in my life!
Got the Dean's List Award from university *proud

 

CHEERS!

Online Shopping Experience with Roses Cart

*click, *click. *clickclickclick.
TA-DAH! Shopping done. You are now the proud owner of 3 bags, 2 pairs of shoes, 457 accessories and a 328947856 other stuffs. Don't you just love the simplicity of online shopping?

Was introduced to Roses Cart through Facebook as it was a friend starting up an online boutique so I decided to just browse around to see if there was anything good. And, just like another other girl "browsing around", I made my orders as well, hhahahhaa. #notmyfault

Will show you what i ordered in a minute.

Roses Cart is an online boutique majoring in (heh, sounding like a student) accessories and bags for females. Sorry guys! none for you. This is exclusive, hoho! The accessories include and are not limited to: rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets. Hopefully they will branch into shoes and clothes soon?

What I found out was interesting. This online shop was actually a little bit "affliated" to MAP Accessories in Ipoh (Facebook Map Accessories). I bet those from Ipoh would definitely remember Maps because it was like the only huge shop in Ipoh Parade selling accessories and I would just go in to stare at the little pretties.

I ordered 2 bags, 2 necklaces, and i don't remember the rest already. Definitely another bracelet involved lahh, but then...okayy this are some that i ordered:

YSL necklace for RM29! This one not that cheap but when I
saw it I had to have it <3 <3

Snake necklace at RM14, quite worth it I felt
Can wear for formal occasions mahh

Rose gold arrow bangle for RM8! Cheap right? XD

Was impressed with their service as I got a whatsapp message from the admin when the bags arrived to show me my bags:

Mine is the top right flowery carry-all and the neon yellow transparent sling bag <3
Can't wait to get my hands on it HOHOHO

Eh wait, Hold your horses. Roses Cart needs about 2-3 weeks for your items to reach-counting from the closing date-as most of the items are pre-ordered (that's why I forgot my ordered items). So what you do is order (through FB messaging), pay up, wait for Roses Carts to notify you, and get them! Do note that the closing time for pre-orders each week is Saturday 5pm.



Roses Cart is based in Ipoh and Klang Valley and they can pass your purchased items to you either from Ipoh Parade's Map Accessories or Kota Damansara's SEGi University.


As a bonus, Roses Cart offers free postal services to those whose bill is RM120 (West Msia)/RM40 (East Msia) and above; or else you have to pay RM5-10 (West Msia)/RM10-13 (East Msia).

AND as an extra extra bonus, Roses Cart will be offering Missailing's readers 15% off in all purchases!
All you have to do is FB Message Roses Cart saying, "I am a Missailing reader" and include a screenshot of this picture:

Remember to get your 15% off discount!
P.S. It's only valid till the 24th of August (24/08/13) so hurry up!
I will be getting my ordered stuff next week, can't wait hehehe.
Cheers,

Skin Estheticians

This is NOT an advertorial:

Before blogging about this I googled "skin dermatologists" and "beauticians" and "facials". Can't help it. Comes with the package of being a student--used to doing research hehe.

So what I found was that the term "dermatologist" was referring to a person whose specialty is in skin health and disease, BUT with "medical" and "surgical" aspects.

the one who does your botox is
a dermatologist

Those who we meet at beauty parlors are actually "estheticians", or "beauticians", who do facials, hair and nails and everything on the surface.

the one who does facials are estheticians,
coincidentally mine looks a little like her

Well, I've met both. However, I'll be talking about the estheticians here.

When my skin was acting up a couple of years ago, I went to a facial parlor, Serene Aesthetics for facials. The first time I went there I was duped la of course, not used to the estheticians there who will basically bully those with no willpower (me) and too young to know better (me).

I bought a package costing me RM800 -.-
which included:
-cleansing products (cleaner, toner, moisturizer; they use Soskin products)

Ahem this is not mine la. I used up mine long time ago, It was also under the soothing range with cucumber
extract, and it was transparent bottles, but they smelt seriously good.

Used this cleanser

and this toner

-6 facials (3 each for two different kinds of facials)
-6 eye treatments
-6 neck massages
-and a lucky draw thrown in free

All in all it was worth it, another esthetician who was looking through my details when I went back a year later for the third facial opened her eyes slightly bigger and told me a little begrudgingly that I got quite a good deal.

You know, with the tone that your boss gives when she/he underestimated you but you give her/him, a great pitch and she/he goes, "Not bad, huh."

I hate facials.
My pain tolerance level is like 36.75% so everytime the exfoliation moment comes I cringe and sweat and tear a little until it's over. sigh.

BUT it is good. It clears out your skin so you won't have any dirty residue left over.
However, I have to emphasize over here that the good old facials did NOT clear out my skin.

theyr originally don't allow for pictures but I curi-curi take this one
when the esthetician was out! ahaha

 The first couple of times I went did not help my skin even though I switched to their products and was doing everything they told me to. The last time in 2012 that I went back, the esthetician "persuaded" me to buy a facial costing RM238 (I had a RM100 discount for my birthday) and the aftermaths was the worst ever that I encountered. My skin was super splotchy and a little bit swollen and it looked like it had internal bleeding so I didn't go back until this year when my skin cleared. Currently, I'm finishing the last of my facial package.

The one thing that I dislike about facials is the fact that they bully you into buying their packages.

E: "Buy our package it has A, B, C, D, and E worth RM 1200 but we're giving you a discount you pay us RM750 only."

 Me: "....Can I go home and think about it?"

E: "It's only available today, decide now la"

Me: "...I'm not so sure about it..."

E: "That's fine, you can just deposit some money and we'll keep the package for you!"

Me: "(more firmly) I don't think I will buy the package"

E: "then how about this product? I think it's very suitable for your skin"

You see what I'm getting on about? At the end I switched the topic to talk about when's my next appointment and shot off like a terrified rabbit, thinking about the fact that I shouldn't be feeling this way as I'm paying them money. sigh.

"I will tell them firmly next time that I do not want to buy anything"

And the next time I go it ends up the same. Don't bully people who don't want to buy your things la people!
Cheers,

Virtual makeover

This is a continuation of my previous post where i blogged about Mary Kay's One Woman Can contest, and this is the Virtual Makeover app that is included in their website, at marykay.com.my.

anyways, this is so fun! I always thought that bluuurgh not fun one, also not my real face lol.
But after trying it out yesterday, i was HOOKED.

The app lets you upload your own photo (after joining membership, no expense required don't worry), or you can choose some other models' face. There's Eurasian, Guai Lou face, dark skinned, and also Asian for us. 

Nah my before and after pictures. See the tiara?? Sparkly sparkly tiara *love*.

Do take note that my picture before had on makeup already, some mascara and eyeliner and the app tells you to choose pictures with no makeup and in good lighting. I chose this because this was one of the few photos i have with my head straight and nice.

So as you can see, I grew cheekbones in the "after" photo, using the blusher to make my face slim haha. Lip color is another change, though it was sad that the app lacked eyebrow brushing up.
That's just a small disadvantage lah.

You don't HAVE to buy their makeup products, just experiment to see which colors suit you and maybe you can go and buy other makeup with simlar colors? Very helpful when deciding on colors to buy. 

Just a very short one, that's it lah!
Cheers! and tata :D
