Hello!
I scrambled to the LUXASIA SALE with actually 1 intent - to find the SERGE LUTENS fragrance I've been lemming for a loooooong time - NUIT DE CELLOPHANE. Unfortunately, I got horribly lost along the way and could not find the LUXASIA Building - I kept going around in circles around Airport Rd, Paya Lebar Rd, Tai Seng Rd, Tai Seng Drive but just could not find Tai Seng Street. And in all that frenzy, I called Kimberly (Rainnydays) and practically whined about not being able to find the building! Tsk tsk tsk ... And when I found it eventually, I did the fastest parallel park in my life! Haha! By which time, I had half melted in the sun ... boo!
Anyways, I got there about 1 and A LOT of stuff was gone. I had the cheek to ask the SA which were the SERGE LUTEN fragrances had been on sale and thankfully, she said NUIT DE CELLOPHANE had not been on sale (I hope not! Cos I will be sooo disappointed! :P) So I looked around and found a couple of things I liked - 3 of which I've been tempted to buy many times but never made the plunge.
So since I didn't randomly grab stuff just because they were on sale, I was technically a good girl. An even "gooder" girl would have not gone for the sale and just stayed at home ... I'm content with being just good for now. :P
PENHALIGON's EDP in ELLENISIA - a gardenia, jasmine scent. My type! I called Escentials at Tangs today to check - the 50ml fragrance I purchased at SGD$49 at the sale, usually retails at SGD$212! SCORE!!! I've always been wanting to try something from Penhaligon's, Annick Goutal, Creed (there's a lovely white flower fragrance!) and Serge Lutens but the high high price tag always makes me go, "Kas, another day lah".
GUERLAIN KISS KISS Lipstick in FLUSHY BEIGE. The camera picked up the pink tones mostly but its actually a nudey, rosey-coral shade with a lot of gold glimmer. Look at the case! Its soooo pretty! And at SGD$10 with an expiry that's a whole year more to go, Woooohoooo! SCORE #2!!!
STILA SMUDGE POT in COBALT CLUTCH. This retailed at SGD$48 in the store - I know cos I have the one in LITTLE BLACK DRESS (black base with purple shimmer) *heart pain now*. This was the electric blue used in the promo shots for one of Stila's recent collections (something Kitten ... there was a Black Cat Smudge Pot that never hit our stores - I remember Temptalia raving about it!). Anyways, I was tempted to buy this in store at the point I picked up LITTLE BLACK DRESS but that's like SGD$96 for eyeliner! Happy to have snagged this at SGD$14 instead!
STILA LIP GLAZE in SUGAR LIPS. Ok, this was a little of an impulse buy. I saw the pink, I saw the shimmer, and I was like, "OK!". I blame the heat. But its very pretty and I don't really regret cos I do like Stila Lipglazes and it was SGD$12 :P
