I Have a Love Hate Relationship. .

... with Sephora! Look what this relationship did to me.
Over the span of 3 months, I made 2 trips to Sephora and made a dent to my purse..
First trip in December:
Soap and Glory Fab Pore Cleanser (RM55) - Funny I didn't spot this at Boots in my Bangkok trips. I like that it came with a muslin cloth. And didn't wait to use this haha.
NYX - Cream blusher (Pink Poppy) RM26, lip pencil, bronzer and lig gloss ("Natural" lip gloss is a free gift). Sephora really need to restock their NYX items more often. Alot of the items are already out of stock.
Benefit Feeling Dandy (RM110) - I've been drooling over Benefit stuffs (especially their blushers) for ages. Bought my first item in Singapore about 5 years back, Dr Feel Good. Pricey but I like!
Since then have been stalking the website but never get to place any order.
I figured spending RM300++ is a little OTT. But buying from the counter is too expensive, comparing the US price. Confusion was me!
Decided to then splurge one time.. and that one time costed me more below; because I love the blusher and the highlighter. Infact I love them all :)
Second trip recently: with 10% discount
Benefit TropiCoral and SugarLicious (RM110). I figured its a great price to try out multiple items, rather than buying full size (I'd never come to finish it, or it would take me a decade)
Another Soap and Glory Fab Pore Cleanser (RM55). Because I love how smooth and clean this makes my skin feels.. and yes the muslin cloth! (The Body Shop SAs do not know what muslin cloths are... hmmm)
One more NYX Blusher (Hibiscus). There weren't much choice left :(
This one, The Husband insisted to buy @.@
Josie Maran Organic Argan Oil Moisturizer (RM169). I think it is kinda expensive but he was all about how great the ingredients are and because I have a 10% discount and all.. I'll see if its really that good.
The devil in me wish Sephora will come to Penang soon, just like Uniqlo. The angel however, says... come anyway!! ;)
What’s in this stuff?
Shea Butter, Peach Oil, Cocoa Butter, Beeswax and Fruit Acid Skin-Smoothers.
So much the butter. Apply Big Butter Peachy Cream often and generously over your whole body to reduce the chances of being scared by your own skin.
So? It exfoliates, hydrates, softens, smoothes and leaves your skin as dewy as a peach peel.
Fewer calories than regular butter – in fact, this stuff isn’t even edible!

Foxy Frangipani Says:
Scent: Yummy peach
Nett Wt: 300ml
Price: Don't exactly remember, but it was less than THB200
Texture: Thick pastel orange cream.
I'll admit, I was first attracted to the quirky packaging. Next was the test by The Nose - likes! *Chucked into the cart*
At 300ml, its a huge tub and lasts me a very long time. It really does moisturize my skin. On some days my lower legs are prone to look scaly (not pretty, but this is way better than my high school time - they always looked scaly and itch!!) I love massaging this into my skin, but I really prefer this on my legs and on days I sleep with PJ pants.
The texture is very rich, and I do not really like this on my arms. I'm a picky sleeper. I don't like the stickiness to get on my sheets, and the "kinda-soiled" feel on my sheets is certainly a no-no. On rainy days / with air condition, I gladly slather this on, and then wrap myself in cotton sweater and pants. Sleep a good sleep, and voila! Wake up with very soft and moisturized skin.
When I shower though, my feet feels slightly oily... Makes a good hand / foot cream too. Slather on a thick layer, and then put on a pair of gloves / socks. (Yep, I cannot survive winter - I can sleep with gloves, socks and sweats in Malaysia weather).
I'd buy this again, when my 1293845 other tubs of lotions finishes :P
