BeenASOS-ing alot this year, especially so when the site started having free delivery worldwide with no minimum purchase. I get tempted to checkout some stuff (almost) everytime without fail.
Ok, gonna show y'all my collective haul so far.. *take a deep breath*
For accessories wise, I got myself a Lipsy Multi Row Link Charm Necklace & River Island Padlock And Key Stud Earrings. I love my blings, silver & gold. Ain't they pretty? (:
Ever since I got hooked on ASOS, I don't really shop @ blogshops (for now). Anyway, the amount of clothings I got from ASOS isn't that many actually.

Oh, I can't help but notice my choices are mostly safe colors: black, cream, pink, nude.. Oops boring much? *hahas*

"natural finish and shape. this unique eyebrow pencil only releases color pigment when it interacts with the oils in the brow hairs. the result is natural, defined brows. smudge-proof and long-lasting."
I bought my 1st Shu Uemura Hard Formula Eyebrow Pencil many years ago, but I misplaced it somehow. This is my 2nd one. I chose Hard 9 Brown 03, as it was more suitable for my red hair (I got this few months back).
When brand new and unsharpened, it looks normal. After some sharpening by the BA, it looks so unique! The thing about this eyebrow pencil is that you cannot sharpen this yourself.
FYI, it is a special sharpening technique acquired by the BAs. And, this service is FOC.
"oil-activated formula - pigment only releases when it interacts with the oil in the eyebrow hairs."
I tried drawing on my hand and this little color shows up. However, it's a different story when drawn on the brows. The color just shows up so naturally. It's really hard to go wrong with this amazing eyebrow pencil!
"creates an ultra-natural, long-lasting finish."
See the distinct difference between my bare and drawn brows! I'm pleased with this shade of brown with slight reddish tone. To complement my light hair color, I usually go over with coat of brow mascara (my staple KATE Eyebrow Color LB-1).
Retails for $33. One can last me for more than a year at least, so it isn't THAT expensive seriously.
Shu Uemura will be launching their best-selling Cleansing Oil 450ml Refills (Limited Edition) from 1 Sept 2011 onwards, at over 10% discount. While stocks last!
In fact, it is a polite way of telling you that you don't look good! Dull & uneven complexion, visible pores, unrefined skin texture, roughness, evidently seen on the face! All these are caused by irregular diet, insufficient sleep, smoking, pollution and stress.Biotherm has come up with an ultra-effective solution to erase these visible signs of tired skin. Excited to know more?
Biotherm + Broccoli = ?
Last Monday, I attended my very 1st Biotherm event to preview their latest product...
Biotherm Skin.Ergetic!
A new generation of skincare... for the new generation of women.
99% of the ingredients in the serum are of natural origin. The fragrance is of 100% natural origin.
No parabens
No mineral oil
No artificial colors
Tested on sensitive skin
BEST ACTIVE ingredient to fight FATIGUE
Yes, the BROCOLLI.
Brocolli is well known for its health benefits and is recommended in the prevention of cancer and heart disease. Selected for its anti-oxidant functions and its capacity to induce defense systems, this plant contains a very active compound called sulforaphane. Biotherm chose young, sulforaphane-rich bocolli sprouts to stimulate production of NrF2, an anti-oxidant self-defense protein.
Other ingredients
Broccoli+Soy Protein + Botanical cells from apple + AHA from lemon & sugarcane =Biotherm Skin.Ergetic
As the sulforaphane-rich broccoli extract is unstable when added to a skincare formula, Biotherm laboratories decided to isolate this ingredient in a capsule (in the foil packet) so that it could be activated at the last minute, immediately before the first application.
The white plastic cap actually contains the brocolli extract in powder form!
See the blank portion at the back of bottle? It is where you write the date you start "activating" the product. Thoughtful much! (:
Fresh Skincare Technology makes it possible to optimize the effectiveness of the active ingredients via last-minute activation.
In just one click, the activation capsule releases the active ingredients in the form of an ultra-concentrated powder.
After "activation", it will retain its optimum stability for only three months. Thereafter, you can still use the product but it won't be as effective as the 1st three months.
In place of the plastic cap, there's the dropper cap.
Here's how the serum looks like.
Sweet fruity scent (predominantly apple + lemon)
Lightweight runny texture
Upon application, the serum absorbs into skin easily (non-sticky feeling). Skin feels refreshingly soft, smooth and moisturized. A proper review will be up in a month's time.
Here's the recommended application/massaging methods for day & night.
The very thoughtful Biotherm team provided us with sweet & savory bites from Coffee Bean.. :D~
*slurps*
Personalized goodie bag! *smiles*
A really sweet gesture yea? (:
Beauty bloggers, with Byrant (Biotherm intern) and Ms Grace Tan (Biotherm Brand Manager).
