Massive ASOS Haul (Dec 2015 - Jan 2016)

This is excessive. I spent a total of £103.91 (approximately S$215) on 12 items. 

If I divide that total amount with the total quantity bought, I saved a great deal (the total original price for all 12 items was £308, or slightly over S$630). But if I look at this entire post as whole, I shopped way too much. 

1. I'm very vexed about Chinese New Year outfits. This year I need multiple outfits because I'm going back to Indonesia on the second day of CNY. 

2. CNY coupon code from ASOS that slashed another 18% off sale items. 

3. Lack of self control and discipline. 

I'm horrible. 

Before this post turns into a self-castigation attempt, here are the items I purchased. All of them were from the sale section.

Vero Moda Mixed Stripe 3/4 Sleeve T-Shirt Dress
ASOS Skater Dress with T-Shirt Overlay
ASOS Patch Denim T-Shirt Dress With Lace Up Back
ASOS Paisley Printed T-Shirt Mini Dress

Noisy May Cadance Lace Up Tee
ASOS Sheer and Solid Oversize Shirt
ASOS Sleeveless Blazer in Stripe Co-ord
ASOS Denim A-Line Mini Skirt With Plait Tie Belt In Mid Blue
ASOS Denim Dolly A-line Button Through Mini Skirt in Indigo with Contrast Stitching

ASOS PETITE Crop Top In Rib with Side Splits
ASOS Classic Retro Sunglasses
ASOS Enamel Open Circle Necklace

Currently waiting for the first package to arrive. I wonder how many of them will end up on Carousell. Oh the joys of online shopping~

Other than these, I have new stuff from Zalora, Cotton On, Dressabelle and MDS Collection. I need to Evanesco some items in my wardrobe. 

ASOS Haul - CNY 2015

I checked my email inbox. 

I was notified an additional 15% off coupon for all ASOS items. 

I reached home, applied some tea tree mask, and browsed ASOS. 

I placed my order. 

That entire process took me less than 2 hours. I was at Chinatown on Chinese New Year's eve and after almost 1 hour of squeezing with the crowd (plus because of my height, I always kenna the BO of taller men), I was out of battery. Then I saw the email while on the car, and MY BATTERY FULLY CHARGED. 

"Lai order, order" - If my brain could express my thoughts aloud, that would be it at that point in time. 

I got 6 items for less than 40 pounds! So exciting ah this ASOS.

ASOS Bold Pleated Skort
ASOS Wide Midi Trouser with Contrast Waistband
ASOS Pencil Skirt In Scuba In Marble Check Print

ASOS Top in Scuba with Pastel Poppy Print
Club L Cross Front Scuba Top
ASOS Textured T-Shirt in Floral Print with Sheer Inserts

And I thought I would stop shopping until my Bangkok trip. 

Lesson of the day - A leopard never changes its spots. 

Happy Chinese New Year guys! :) 

MAHOOSIVE ASOS Haul

I admit, I admit - I went a little bit overboard and crazy.

My only two excuses were I had my 12th + 13th month pay in and I had quite a few discount codes. So I purchased these 10 items on 3 different occasions. 

Chinese New Year ho seh liao, no need to worry about clothes. 

I just had my yearly employee review and it will be a great 2015. So, I just upped the amount of my monthly savings (whereby a certain set amount of money will be transferred automatically on a set date every month to a savings account) in order to curb these shopaholic sins. Hey, no shame if you spend within your means, it's all okay if you are financially able. But for me, it's time to save more (my goal this year is over S$20K in savings) for my HDB flat. Kengyang and I want to clear the payments as soon as we can. 

Ok photos for you! 

I bought one ASOS Maternity item this time. The sweater too chio already. Can keep for very long some more, next time I pregnant, I have one chio sweater in my closet liao! :D

ASOS DREAMER Plimsolls - £8.00
River Island Mix Print Shift Dress - £18.00
ASOS Longline Tee in Winter Floral Print With Sheer Hem Panel - £10.00Fallen Star Sequin Top With Embroidery - £12.00

ASOS Drop Arm Vest Top - £4.00
ASOS A-Line Skirt in Hawaiian Mirror Print  - £7.00 (OOS)
ASOS Printed Sheer Panel T-Shirt - £7.00
ASOS Playsuit With Multi Strap Detail In Geo Print - £5.00 (OOS)

ASOS Maternity Jumper With Lace Side Panels - £14.00
Minkpink Stripe Dress With Mesh Inserts - £20.00

I feel both excited and nervous whenever I write a haul post. Buyer's remorse setting in (not sure if this feeling can be classified as buyer's remorse or not since I didn't really spend damn a lot of money on a big ticket item).

Have a good week guys! Work hard for those moolahs!! 

November 2014 Online Haul: ZALORA and ASOS

So I said I will not shop online because I'm going to Bangkok. Obviously, that determination got lost halfway. I ended up spending less than S$100 on these products from Zalora and ASOS, thanks to many many discount codes. I had the ASOS items in my cart and I didn't check out because I was preparing to check them out if I couldn't find similar things in Bangkok, BUTTTT ASOS tweeted a code for an additional 10% off items on Sunday morning, and I immediately checked the 3 things out. And then I went back to sleep. :D 

Zalora has Mastercard Thursdays - 10% off your total if you use a Mastercard to purchase your items on a Thursday. Also, I had a 15% discount code on top of the 10% off, so...just whack right? 

ZALORA Criss Cross Mix Material Sandals
EZRA by ZALORA Lace Kimono Sleeved Blouse
ZALORA Cross Ankle Strap Pointed Ballerina Flats

Girls on Film Floral V Neck Boxy Crop Top
ASOS Denim Extreme Knicker Short in Black Acid Wash
ASOS Cami with Layered Pleat Hem

The extreme knicker short is quite intimidating, hence I bought a size bigger. I don't want to expose my behind, but I don't want to pay a lot for a pair of black acid wash shorts. Hopefully, this fits alright, if not, into the Carousell box it goes!

2 more days to Bangkok! Excited for shopping and eating and shopping and eating! :D

ASOS Haul (July 2014)

ASOS Contrast Bandeau Cut Out Bikini Top - £5.50
ASOS Denim Premium Jacquard Envelope Skirt - £10.00
ASOS Boxy Crop Check Shirt - £10.00
ASOS Roll Sleeve Crop Blouse in Mono Floral Print - £13.00
ASOS Denim Pelmet Skirt in Washed Indigo - £10.00
ASOS Chill Palm Print Tie Side Bikini Pant - £4.00

I have been busy at work and I almost always slept right after dinner, hence updating blog has been a secondary priority for quite a while. Let me take baby steps - restart with haul posts. 

Quick life updates:

• Kengyang is back! :D
• We're going to select our HDB unit on 15 August 2014. 
• I'm going to Hong Kong from 21-23 July 2014 for work, and then for vacation from 5-9 August 2014. Shioks. 
• My bank account (the one for spending) has gone down to 3 digits because I spent over S$1K on a facial package. The good thing is after one session I saw remarkable improvement. Ok lar right? 

ASOS Haul (they gave me discount codes!!) + a really important tip!

I bought these 5 items in 2 occasions - both with different discount codes that worked on top of already discounted items. Hooray! 

I thought the leggings were quite crazy, but I guess it will not look so risqué if I match it with a long black tunic top and a black pair of slip-ons?  

ASOS Leggings in Tribal Print with Side Elastic Criss Cross Detail
ASOS Silky Shorts in Floral Print
Blue Vanilla Printed Midi Skirt

Bourjois 1 Second Mascara
Bourjois Dark Khol Mascara

Anyway, I realised that there is a way of further reducing the total amount that you pay when you check out from ASOS. You know how they always change the currency to Singapore Dollars? HECK NO! Change it back to British Pound and after you do the exchange rate checking and the mathematics, you will realise that it's actually slightly cheaper if you check out in British Pounds than if you check out in Singapore Dollars.

For example, the silky shorts in floral prints? It was 12.50 pounds, but when I converted to Singapore Dollars, it's S$30.74. Of course, there are hidden credit card charges when you check out in a different currency, but I checked that too and I paid less than S$30.74. OH YEAH!!

Have a great shopping time guys! :) 

Additional 15% off sale items ("FETCH15"). 

Ends Sunday, 8th June 2014, 7pm SGT. Only valid on one transaction per customer.

Current favourite foundation (Holy grail!!): Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

I'm quite dumb. I loved this liquid foundation so much, I kept using it daily and now the glass bottle is really dirty and I only have around 30% of the liquid foundation left - so I cannot bear to take photographs and post them on my blog. Yikes. The photos provided by Bourjois itself shall suffice then (sorry guys!!).

The Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation has reached "holy grail" status in my books. I have been using it every single day since I bought it and I'm running out!! The worrisome side of me keeps wanting to order 5 more as backups, JUST IN CASE. What if they discontinue this glass bottle of enchanting liquid? CHOI TOUCH WOOD.

I purchased mine from ASOS.com (link) for less than S$15 because there was a 30% off cosmetic products some time back. Even without the discount, it's less than S$20. If you go to Watsons, BHG or other local stores that stock Bourjois, this will definitely cost you more than S$30 (I think it's S$34.90 or some ridiculously exorbitant price-tag). If you want to try this foundation out, I will suggest you order from ASOS.com - free worldwide shipping + will cost you half the Singapore retail price (DAYLIGHT ROBBERY).

Time to zoom in to the reasons why I love this foundation so much.

1. Oily-skin compatible - this foundation is great for those with oily skin. I have severely oily skin, especially around the nose and forehead. When I have the Healthy Mix Foundation applied, my skin still gets oily but not as much as before. Usually, I will need to blot at 11am (I usually apply at 8am), then another time at 3pm. With this foundation, I only blot once at 4-5pm, and touch up with some loose powder and I'm good to go! 
2. Acne prone-skin compatible - Sadly, my acne prone skin is still giving me a headache. I'm scared to try new face products because I'm scared of the potential breakouts that I may get. This liquid foundation didn't break me out AT ALL. Very very good!! 
3. Medium coverage - The Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation is not a full-coverage foundation. It has a medium coverage and it will not be able to cover huge pimples. However, I personally prefer this medium coverage because I don't want to feel cakey all over my face. Some liquid foundations have a coverage so strong and thick that you feel like you're wearing a mask. This one feels lightweight and breathable. You can just cover your blemishes with a good concealer, no biggie!
4. Blendability - This is one of the main reasons why I love this liquid foundation so much. It's SOOOO blendable! If you use a foundation brush, it's blendable. If you use your fingers, it's blendable. So easy to work with! No unglam patches and uneven pigmentation. It's also a breeze to build up the layers. 
5. Long-lasting - No joke. It lasted for more than 12 hours. My face needed blotting at the end of 12 hours but I still looked okay without a touch-up. 
6. "Younger-looking skin" - I don't know how factual this is, but quite nice to know that the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation will give you a younger-looking skin look. HAHA. 

ARGH, I NEED TO BUY MORE!!! I think I will run out in another 2 weeks' time. Complete disaster. 

Hope you enjoyed this quick review (with a lack of photos, sorry!). Have a great day!! 

January 2014 Haul

Oops I did it again?

ASOS beauty haul - tiny but I'm so excited!!

ASOS had a beauty sale last week and OF COURSE I HAD TO GET SOMETHING. In this case, I got some things (LOL). I think it was a 30% sale? I really wanted to try liquid foundations from Bourjois and Rimmel and I had to stock up on my Rimmel Pressed Powder! 

I heard SO MANY positive reviews about the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation and thank you ASOS for this sale! I bought it at S$14.83 (original price S$22.79). It would have cost much more in Singapore. CONFIRM. 

My Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder is down to the last bits and I'm so sad, so yay for the sale. Grabbed the opportunity and got my new powder for only S$5.70 (original price S$9.10)!

Finally, I also bought the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation for S$13.69 (original price S$20.51) just because the description of the product intrigued me - "...inbuilt SPF 15 has an anti-fatigue effect with pearlescent properties for an illuminating complexion, concealing imperfections while masking under eye shadows for a flawless finish" Like that confirm buy lah!

Can't wait for them to arrive!! :) Yay new makeup! I always love new makeup!! Okay I need to reorganise my cosmetic cupboard!!
