A happy day :)


I was a very very happy girl yesterday!

Very very very very happy indeed. Hahahahha...

It has been quite some time since i last splurge for myself.. as far as i remember, ever since i was pregnant, i never buy things in huge amount [read : $$] anymore. After i gave birth, i did buy abit here and there but those were all online purchase. Hence, doesn't count hor :P

Yesterday i went shopping with mil, aiming to buy only 2 items, a pair of black shoes for the boy and a tub of night cream for myself.

However, in the end, i ended up with these!


See my gorgeous make up box on the left? *beam* :P

Grin.

Scary yeah?

Don't ask me why but according to mil, she thinks i bought them because it was very worth it. Haha.. mil knows me pretty well. She knows i do not anyhow spend or buy unnecessary things like her. She knows i'm very careful with my money or rather, hb's money.

So yesterday was truly an eye opener for her! [according to mil herself] Never had she seen me spend so much for the past 7 years. Not at 1 go definitely. After that, she reasoned it out herself, saying i must have thought it was really worth spending since i really bought them all after all :)

Honestly, i am not so sure myself :P

Note : the amount i spent yesterday may be peanuts to most of you! but to me, it's quite a sum okie... since the husband only earns a meagre pay.

Initially, i wanted to buy just my night cream. Then i saw the make up set which i have been eyeing for quite sometime through an ad in the paper, which i could get for only $98 because i'm eligible for it.

The make up set is available at $98 for any purchase over $100.

And then, i saw this bag.


It was love at first sight! I heart the material. If i'm not wrong, it's suede. Very nice!

However, i can only get it if i make another purchase of $200 and above. The night cream cannot be included because i am using that for the make up set already.

After browsing for a while, i decided to go ahead with another $200+ purchase because i saw 2 items which i have been wanting for the longest time. The SA further convinced me how good they are, this and that.. and most importantly, i really should start using it before it's too late, she said. Hehehe.. oh well, vanity and beauty.. it does come with a price, doesn't it?

Furthermore, my 26 years old sil has been warning me recently that the husband has been mistaken as her 'didi'! (younger brother) My soon to be 34 years old, 1.81m tall husband who has very prominent lines [in another word, wrinkles] like the railway track at the end of his eyes whenever he smiles as sil's didi?! *faint* She went on to tell me that i should really really take care and maintain my face so that i won't age faster than the husband.

With that thought in my head, how can i not buy the other 2 items?! Kekekeke.. :PppPP

Together, i bought 3 items + $98 make up set. The rests are free :)


My new make up set :)



Up close and open..


I (heart) the casing. Quite glam, no? :)

Ahh.. and then, one of the main reason why i bought the make up set.. 4 brushes which i desperately need!



But i am not sure how good they are since i am a make up idiot. A complete idiot. Trust me. And i am not proud of it. Bleah.

And oh... on top of the free bag i got for my $200 purchase, these 7 pcs of free gift was also in my reasoning on why i should buy the 2 other items :D


A small gold make up pouch just for the brushes on the back ground, together with the 7 pcs free gift

U say lah, how to not buy?!?!?!

I was so thrilled last night that i couldn't fall asleep till 1am. After that, i actually slept with a smile. So very silly, i know!

My very first real make up purchase that exceeded $60 *hide*. Got a feeling that i will not be buying anymore make up for the next 3 years at least - not joking! [yes girls - u know who u are! i know i am pathetic! I simply cannot justify the exorbitant price of those make up stuff. I can never be a make up junkie ah! When i am really in need, i'll just to one of your houses oki? :P]

As for now, the boys and i will go on a grass and water diet for the next 1 month due to my extra spending.

Sigh.

Not too bad afterall..


Because i wanted to doll up a little today, i went for pedicure yesterday.

It was my first time there.

I didn't take up their package even though i quite enjoy it. Mostly because i don't usually go for pedicures. The last time i went, it was exactly 1 year ago :P


But, do you know what i got after my session after filling in my particulars just because i was nice enough to give my feedback voluntarily about the seating position and so happened that the lady boss was there to overheard me and even adjusted them on the spot before asking me to try the seat again?


Red wine manicure & pedicure worth $126!


Reason given was : It's your birthday tomorrow! Heh.


Apart from the above incident, my girl pals were so sweettttttttt to me as well. I never told them that it was my birthday today, not wanting to trouble anyone to get me pressies or buy me cake or hold a dinner just for me. Paiseh lah.. :P

But it was such a coincidence that the girls planned to have dinner yesterday and when they did find out it was my birthday today, they got me a yummilicious cake! Not only that, Celest even got me a pressie, in such a short notice! I was pleasantly shocked of course. Who in the world wouldn't yeah? It was a lovely lovely necklace.

Lovely isn't it? But it looks even better in real life. Thank you Celest! :D

Thank you girlies.. for the dinner, for the cake, for the thought and most importantly, for your friendship. Love you all! *muaks* :*

Can't wait for Phantom tonight!
