A sudden addiction to online shopping!

There's something to be said about being cooped up at home every day and not being allowed out to satisfy my window shopping cravings...

IT DRIVES ME INSANE!!!

I am sitting here, brooding, forever building a longer and massively longer shopping list full of useless crap I don't need and don't even really want! I only fantasize about them because I CAN'T HAVE 'EM RIGHT NOW. Ugh.

So what is a shopaholic to do when estranged from the nearest mall? Turn to ONLINE SHOPS of course!!!

I have, although, learnt to buy only because of necessity and not on impulse because I think the item is pretty/cute/eye-catching/dead-cheap-must-bai.

I've tried to be as reasonable as possible and so far have found six things that I absolutely cannot live without!

1.) Signature Minerals' Concealers! In Soft Mint and Soft Sunshine. From Simply Naturale.
     


I blame Tuach for this. Bad influence! Only RM10 per sample 5g jar though!!! And works like MAGIC and LIGHT as a feather. PLUS, free Pos Ekspres shipping within Malaysia!!! Excessive exclamation marks = extreme enthusiasm :D


2.) Signature Minerals' Rose blusher! From Simply Naturale.


Because I am sick and tired of my stupid unobliging Maybelline Apricot blush. Stupid thing forces me to SCRUB it onto my face!! And it's also a shimmer blush, totally unsuitable for prom flash photography. Also RM10 per sample jar with free postage!


3.) The Sticker Monster's pink bow Decoden!



Been looking high and low in local shops for something like this to put on my phone and voila! This one's only RM2/piece (promo price) with yes, you guessed it, free postage within Malaysia!!!

Better than that stupid cheat money Minimaos which charges RM6 for postage (somemore put ugly and uninformative product images on the site), you can eat my turds thanks.


4.) The Sticker Monster's epoxy glue!


This is just cause the price looks appealing and I'm sien to go out and find epoxy glue in stationery stores hahaha. Only RM4/bottle (the bottle is mad tiny though, I hope it'll be enough!) and also free postage, duh!!!


5.) The Sticker Monster's protective blinging film!




RM15 for an A4 sheet which I'm actually quite simtiah to buy, but at least it'll guarantee there won't be any WORSE simtiah-ness if I accidentally bling my phone/any other gadget wrongly! Now I can bling freely with no worries *phew*

My experience so far with The Sticker Monster has been GREAT! The girl who runs it (Jolene @ www.jayelleenelial.com) is an absolute darling and so friendly and accomodating. Plus she replies emails super fast!! I would definitely buy from her again and highly recommend The Sticker Monster as well!!!


6.) Beauty Splash's gel eyeliner!


For a long time, I've gone with bare minimum eye makeup - only mascara. But nowadays I'm realizing the wonders that eyeliner can do for your eyes!!! Makes them look like 10 times bigger just like that! *snaps fingers* And for some reason the only eyeliner I own is a dark brown pencil so it's time I made a sound investment! And cause I'm kiamsiap, my "investment" costs only SGD9.90 :D


7.) Last but not least, Beauty Splash's false eyelashes!



Don't you just love the shape of these false lashes??? Nice falsies are SO hard to find... most are either too short, too long, too sparse, too kuazhang, etc etc etc. And best of all, these are only SGD9.90 for 8 pairs! With, what else could it be but, free postage within Singapore!!! But again, I'm gonna pay an extra SGD2 for registered mail cause I have no idea what the Singapore postal system is like!

My experience with Beauty Splash so far has been... less than encouraging though. FOUR days after emailing them and I STILL haven't received any reply -_- But I shall persevere if only because I really like their stuff and it's so cheap!


I'm fast learning that online shopping can look fun and easy but get SERIOUSLY stressful if you have to deal with unprofessional sellers, which is why the two things I love the most are FREE/CHEAP POSTAGE and EXCELLENT + FAST CUSTOMER SERVICE ♥♥♥

Good customer service is sooo underrated these days, which is a real pity.

So yeah, anybody feeling the tickling urge to SHOP but is stuck at home, I encourage you to check out these sites!!! TOTAL gratification guaranteed cause it's so cheap and you won't regret it!

Unless your stuff get lost in the mail which you can either prevent by praying really REALLY hard (not recommended :P) or shelling out just a little bit more for safer postage methods. Like me!

I go through the trouble to buy buy buy, if it doesn't sampai, I WILL DAI T____T (crap that is the most awesome rhyming sentence ever)

After Mock Exams somebody (preferably with an Amicion discount card *exaggerated wink*) needs to pei me to go to the mall to blow off my B$20 Face Shop voucher and buy 3 new Konad plates!!! I'm thinking of getting m59, m62 and m71 to continue the building of a horifically large collection :)


Oh oh!! And talking about shopping, today I bought THE MOST GORGEOUS shade of vintagey frosted dusty rose pink (I know right, so long the name I invented for it wtf) satin from Galleria YMRM!!! For my prom dress bow and it's only B$4.90/metre cause of sales! I didn't know it was possible to be THIS in love with a fabric ♥ *sighs happily*

Okay that's it for today, I'll see you again tomorrow! I hope you had as much fun taking a peek into my shopping cart as I had... well, shopping! Have I suceeded in tempting you yet?? :D
