Me and Martina's Beauty Haul from Malaysia: Perfumes, MAC, Sephora, The Body Shop, Rimmel, etc

Hi everyone! I’m really sorry I’m not writing on this blog lately, I’ve been really busy with work, family stuff, internship preparation, and everything. But a few days ago I had a chance to take a short trip to Kuala Lumpur with my aunt and my cousin, so these are what we bought :D

Anna Sui “ Flight of Fancy “ Eau de Toilette ( RM 190 )
This one belongs to my cousin, Martina, and I’m so in love with this perfume! Especially the packaging and the bottle, so girly and adorable. The perfume itself smells so fresh and invigorating, perfect for teenager or young women ( or young at heart ;D ), this perfume is not too mature or too childish, beautiful scent for summer.







Carolina Herrera “ 212 “ Eau de Toilette ( RM 244 )
My aunt bought this for my mother. It is my mother’s favorite perfume. Smells elegant and classy.


And we got samples too :D I've been loving Calvin Klein "Euphoria" for such a long time, but I never buy it, I always chose another fragrance on the store.


And at Sephora my aunt and my cousin bought this two lipsticks and lipgloss, unfortunately we forget the price so we can’t really tell you 


Sephora goodies!



Calvin Klein Eternity Aqua for Men ( RM 173 )
Again, my aunt bought this for my other cousin, CK Eternity for Men is his signature fragrance, and so my aunt decided to bought him Eternity Aqua, which equally nice smelling.


The Body Shop “ Dreams Unlimited “ Eau de Parfum (RM 115)
 This one is belongs to Martina, to me it smells like the softer and weaker version of Davidoff “Cool Water” for women, light, clean smelling, and perfect for everyday wear, I believe this perfume is still not available in my country, Indonesia.

The Body Shop “ Vanilla “ Eau de Toilette ( RM 49.90 )
Finally! The Body Shop brings back my old time favorite scent! I used to wear it when I was about 15 years old, it smells sweet and yummy, like it brings back a lot of good memories.

The Body Shop “ White Musk “ Eau de Toilette ( RM 85 )
This one is belongs to my aunt, very popular smell in my country!





The Body Shop Body Butter Duo in “Vanilla” ( RM 65 )
I love vanilla scent, so when I saw body butter duo is available in vanilla scent; I knew I had to have it! Like “ Dreams Unlimited “  I believe this body butter is still not available in my country.

The Body Shop Body Lotion in “White Musk” ( RM 68 )
This one is belongs to my aunt.

Shea and Passion Fruit Lip Butter ( RM 26 / each )
And do you all know, at the cashier we got 30% off everything!!! The prices I listed above are all the prices before discount!!! I love The Body Shop Malaysia!!!


The Body Shop goodies!



MAC Eyeshadow in “ Carbon ” ( RM 60 )
This highly pigmented eye shadow is belongs to my aunt



MAC Paint Pot in “ Bare Study “ ( RM 70 )
I heard that this cream eyeshadow can be used as an eye primer to prevent creasing or smudging, I tried it twice, and my eye makeup still creasing, maybe I should bought Urban Decay Primer Potion instead. I don’t know, let me see where this product goes.



MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in NC25 ( RM 105 )
My mother asked me to bought this powder foundation, in the MAC store the makeup artist put this powder on my both cheek, and oh my Gosh! I must tell you that this powder is miracle, it mades my pores disappear, my skin looks so flawless and not oily for hours and hours! Maybe next time I will buy this for myself.



MAC lipstick in “Rebel” ( RM 68 )
This one is belong to my aunt. This color looks lovely and sophisticated. Try this when you want to look elegant ( or dangerous and vampy! )


MAC goodies!



Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in “ Glamorous Pink “ and    “ Dreamy “
The “Dreamy” is mine, the Glamorous Pink is Martina’s. FYI, Rimmel London is not available in my counrty...it sucks...




Rimmel lipstick in black tube???
I’m sorry I don’t know the name, is already being given to my mom. And we got free mascara too.

Review of Victoria’s Secret “Pure Seduction” Body Spray and Hand & Body Cream

Victoria’s Secret “Pure Seduction” Refreshing Body Mist


When I was in Changi Airport Singapore a few days back, I decide to tried this Victoria’s Secret stuff. I adore this scent! I love it so much. Very fresh, sweet, and addicting. It contains cassaba melon, plum, and freesia, but personally I smell juicy strawberry and the melon in it. The smell is really strong and fruity when I first spray it onto my skin, but after a few minutes, it changes to this light and airy fruity floral scent. Subtle, delicate and inoffensive for the people around you. Just don’t spray too much because this body spray has amazing sillage. Pure Seduction is great spring/summer fragrance and by the way…my bf loves it too.

The only complain I have about this is the scent doesn’t last long on my skin. I have to re-apply every two hours or so. But that is fine. Every single body sprays in this world will not last on everybody too. If lasting power is very important for you, I suggest buy fragrance in the form of eau de parfum or parfum because they more concentrated and absolutely last longer.


Victoria’s Secret “Pure Seduction” Ultra-Moisturizing Hand and Body Cream


In the store I tried the Pure Seduction body lotion first and I love it. The lotion is very moisturizing, nice consistency, and smells very good, exactly like the body spray. But I decided to buy the hand and body cream because I thought it will moisturize my skin more than the body lotion. The hand and body cream is very rich and of course ticker than the lotion. It makes my skin feels so smooth and silky.

The only thing is, when I first apply, this hand and body cream smells so strong! Very strong! Like a very fruity car freshener! Like something I would use on the floor or toilet! I need to wait a few minutes so the smell settles and fade a little bit. But this one has a great lasting power ( I still can smell it four hours later ). If times can go back, I would choose the body lotion. Not the cream.
