Clinique 3 Step FREE

Got the 3 step one week supply sample by joining the Clinique online community. If you are interested, login to Friendster and register as member to be entitled to a one week supply of the 3 step-15ml each of cleanser, toner and moisturiser.

Of the 3 step, i like the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion the best and you can see that i have use half the bottle already. As for toner, i feel some 'tingling' sensation whenever i use it so i seldom pat it on my face. As for cleanser, it is the same texture as Neutrogena which i am currently using and can get from pharmacy, usually keep for trip back in Malacca as they are in mini size.

I especially like the mini size 3 step and the logo 'C' , just like my name, 'C' for Christina..:)

Lady Luck is with me lately

Rene Furterer hamper worth RM270 consists of Okara shampoo, hair mask and 2 bottles of leave in conditioner. Have tried the shampoo and mask, leaving my hair supple and soft. The prestige salon is now opened in Pavilion. Thanks to the timely arrival of the hair care products. Given me time to contemplate whether to chop off my hair or keep them long.

I won this hamper because my letter to the editor was the Letter of the Month - March for MWW magazine. Shared some of my gratitude towards the magazine and some ideas for improvement. I have been growing together with MWW, from single to now being a Mommy to 2 lovely girls.

Stila Rejected Items

I went to Isetan @ Gardens Midvalley to make some change in the Stila products. Those are the ones manufactured in 2005 and 2006. They are
1. Kajal eyeliner in Pearl
2.Kajal eyeliner in Tiger
3.All over Shimmer in Pink(#6)
4.All over Shimmer in Bronze(#9)
5.Limited edition eyeshadow in Mystique

For Stila fans, please check the manufacturing dates of your items, especially those buying in bulk. If you are buying from Gardens Isetan, Joanne is willing to collect back them as rejected item and you will be given Isetan voucher/letter worth of the rejected items value.

Item 5 was only RM30 but it was billed RM50, so altogether i got back Isetan voucher worth RM200. It will last for 3 months. Will be using them for Isetan sales in mid May 2009.

Thanks to Joanne for being kind to let me to change the rejected items. She would be transferred to RMK Pavilion. Now that Miu has informed that Stila has changed 'hands', hope that there is another company willing to sell Stila in Malaysia.

Stila Buys Part 3

Contouring Trio, famous for use to sculpt/shape the face, to make it beautiful, ie slimmer face, sharper nose, higher cheekbone, 'not-so-round' face. Learn to master the skills via Youtube and Hoola! its a beautiful new pretty lady. It comes in 3 shades, a guide and magnetic booklet form. And the large mirror is simply marvellous to make touch-up on the go.

Similar to Stila's loose powder, this Illuminating Treatment Powder comes with a slides-on brush on the cover. As its name, it has shimmers with the powder, making skin glow and radiant. And the icy cooling effect upon applying this powder onto the face is just as refreshing.

Fondana eyeshadow, in green and brown is a nice eyeshadow color. Stila's E/S are all very smooth and easy to glide on the skin and they simply last longer. Illuminating tinted moisturiser is useful for some light makeup as it comes with some shimmers to brighten the face. Finally got a Kajal eyeliner in 'Tiger' aka brown but the manufacturing date was 2005! sigh sigh.. hai... got what i wanted but the date has since expired. Need to bring back to Stila to change.

Here's my tribute to Stila, ahem.. with the larger collections and a hole in my pocket, heheh:)

For Stila fans out there especially Miu and Von, thank you for the sharings and news and updates. Wish everyone happy with their buys and experience getting the items.

Stila Buys Part 2

For the beauty of the eyes and lips. I especially like the 'Kitten', its a lipgloss that shimmers, and has lovely Vanilla flavor.

Stila collectible item 'Pomegranate set', which comes in a lovely box. When opened, the 5-in-1 items are neatly packaged in a silver evening clutch. The word Stila is embroidered in the bag. Another must-have Collectible for Stila fans! The 5-in-1 items includes a Quad-eyeshadow in Lilac colors, Pomegranate crush- a lip/cheek color, similar to Benefit's Posietint/Benetint that leaves a glow on the cheeks, mascara, Convertible cheek/lip 'Orchid' which gives a natural pinkish shade, and a All over body Shimmer.

Am excited over another Must-have collectibles! The trio-eyeshadow+1 cheek color comes in a lovely booklet, just like one of the Stila girls printed on the tins. The set comes in a protective sheet , just like what we see when we open chocolates. The set also comes with a IT lipgloss in pinkish shade.

Check out my next Part, hopefully the last part!

As for the conditioner, it smells good with the essence of the aromatherapy oils leaving my hair soft and nice.
