Unboxing The Lilac Box

It's The Lilac Box (Does a Happy lil dance)...The Beauty Box that sells like Hotcakes..(Plays the Violin for those who didn't get their paws on the box..*grins*)
 Blind Date In A Box

 

I removed the Lavender Ribbon and pasted this in-front of the box instead.

I love the simplicity of the box which is just plain brown. (For those of you who complain that it's plain boring tis because you are simply lacking in creativity..Comprende??)

 There was a lovely scent emanating from the box.Oh Goody!! (Notice,No Vouchers:})

1) REDKEN 5th Avenue Intra Force (Targeted Technology : For Color Treated Thinning Hair) Step 1 : Shampoo (Restorative cleanser for hair and scalp) 145ml - Hokey, I've no clue how much for a big bottle coz there isn't any booklet, but I'm assuming it's about RM 100-ish. Omg!!it's such an awesome size. I've never tried Redken before and I'm happy that I'm getting a chance to try.Its got a slight Minty scent.

2) REDKEN 5th Avenue Intra Force (Targeted Technology : For Color Treated Thinning Hair) Step 2 : Toner apres-shampooing (Nourishing toner for hair and scalp) 145ml- It came with a twin. I'm assuming it's conditioner .

NUXE (Paris) . I've never heard of this brand before and I don't think we have this brand in Malaysia ( Do we?)..

3) NUXE Reve de Miel - 15ml ( Face cleansing and Make-Up Removing Gel..Soothes.Softens) : You can read more about this product on their website.

4) NUXE Huile Prodigieuse -10ml ( Multi-usage dry oil : Nourishes,softens,repairs : Face,Body,Hair) : At 1st I thought it was a bottle of perfume. It was giving out such a nice scent. I took a look closer and it's not. I'm 4eyed and dang it's hard to read small white wordings. I tried it out,just a tad bit on me hair (After washing and drying). Smooth hair and it's non-grease. I know some which tend to turn your whole head into a oily wok. Urghh ( Scent wise : Smells like Jasmine infused with Coconut)

LUNASOL from Japan

 5) LUNASOL - Soothing Make-Up Base (1g x 2sachets) - Seriously I've no clue what a make-up base is. Correct me if I'm wrong, Moisturize before applying thick layers of ICI so you won't end up looking like

5) Kanebo LUNASOL (Skin fusing powder foundation) (o.6g)  - Now what do I do with this?..To use or not to use..(Rubs a lil on her hand..It's smooth) will keep for now.

6) Calvin Klein "Beauty" (Scent: Floral) & "Sheer Beauty" (Scent : Fresh Fruity Floral) : I don't mind getting perfume vials. You want to test out the scent before splurging for a bigger bottle yes?? + I get to carry the vial in my bag..*Spray Spray*..Umm I like the smell of Beauty..It's so Woman-ly..

Verdict : To the 3 young Gentlemen, Kudos once again. I'm enjoying the goodies (specially the NUXE multi-usage dry oil ) and I can't wait to try the shampoo.. Eeeek excited for April's box...Spanks Darlings.

 Eye Candies

2) Murad Hydro Dynamic Ultimate Moisture (Retail Price RM 298/50ml) - Mine's in perfect condition (Plays the Violin for those unfortunate ones). 

3) Murad Active Radiance Serum (Retail Price RM 398/30ml) - I might just use it for under me eyes. I'm beginning to look like

4) Elianto Lustro Lip Gloss -Full Size (Color: Passionate Kiss)  (Retail Price RM 9.90, I think) - I know some ladies received Elianto's Fionatto Blush and others Eye Mask. I'm glad I didn't get any of those. I'm not a big fan of blushers and I've got quite a number of  face/eye mask already (not enough to open a small stall though). I'm glad I got the lip gloss, but the color is somewhat Hot Pink??.I'm not going to open the packaging. Thought I'll save it for a Swap:}.

5) Wild Ferns Manuka Honey Conditioning Hand Creme & Wild Ferns Rejuvenating Hand Creme (Retail Price Unavailable) - I got the Manuka Honey Hand Creme and it smells like.... Honey (Will try not to lick thy hands like Winnie the Pooh)

Verdict : I wonder what's wrong with people. "Omg,Like I'm so disappointed with this and that", I will not tolerate repeats,I expect the box to be heavy (How about rocks to hit yaself in the head)..blahblah I pay this much,I expect this and that..Oh I'm sorry I forgot it's Human Nature. Wonderbox has never disappointed me. I've gotten crap before from other BBoxes. Nothing can be perfect all the time.So Yeah!!..Kudos Wonderbox

I know the quality tis crap..:}..

Hokey, it's February Month...(Chinese New Year)

Yush!!

  

 Oh the Goodies:}. I know some have receive 3 bottles of nail polish instead of Clinelle. I'm happy with receiving Clinelle. I didn't take any individual pics of the products (My internet connection is SLOW)..
So for Feb's box (Love the goodies)...

1) Clinelle Moisture Booster -Full Size (Retail Price RM 72.90/20ml) : I can't remember which month, but I did mention I'm not a big fan of their Toner.Their Eyes and Lips Make-up remover this pretty good.I can't wait to try this product

2) Murad Energizing Pomegranate Moisturizer (Retail Price RM 180.50/50ml) : I receive a few Murad products from other BB's and I gave some away to me mum cause she wanted to try. I'm keeping this tube for myself thank you. The 1st time I heard about Murad was from a BeautyGuru on Youtube. Quite a pricey skincare I must say.

3) Murad Vitalic T-Zone Pore Refining Gel (Retail Price RM 228.00/50ml): Mine...I'm keeping this..:}

4) H20+Marine Toner (Retail Price RM 99.00/200ml) & H2O+Oasis Dual Action Exfoliating Cleanser (Retail Price RM 99.00/1200ml) : Awww it comes in a lil blue mesh bag.Cuteness. I've seen the H20 counter in One Utama, but I tend to walk on by.Alas! I get to try it out.

5) Jacqueline Burchell Nail Lacquer - Full Size (Retail Price SGD9 (RM22)/5ml) - I got the nail color in Gamma Ray..Haven't tested it out.I'll save it for later. Would I spend so much for a nail polish?...NO:}.

Verdict : I like the Feb box.Definitely rocking my socks.

3) Ronasutra 2-in-1 Mineral Foundation & Powder (Full Size) and Anti-Bacteral NBR Sponge ( Retail Price RM48/80g & Sponge RM 5 x 2pcs) - It's not my suitable for my skin. I look as though I've been painted with 3 coats of ICI paint. Gave it away.( Sorry I don't remember the color I got)

4) Elianto Nutri Rouge Lipstick -Full Size (Retail Price RM 25/3g) - I love Elianto. Very good quality products for a good decent price. I bought some products for a friend in the US and the loved it. Sadly, the colour which I got wasn't suitable for my skin tone. Slightly Orangy + I'm pretty tanned. So I gave it to me mum. She's fair by the way.

5) Coloured Hair Chalk ( Red & White) - Yush!! finally I get to try. All the hype about hair chalks once upon a time. Oh me Happy!!

3) Murad Hybrids Skin Perfecting Primer Dewy Finish RM 150 for 30ml

I know Murad is quite popular in the States. People suffering from certain skin ailments (acne,pimples e.t.c) somehow says that certain products from Dr Murad works (It might work for you,might not work on me).One thang's for sure, the price is very nice:}.

4) Esllon Bio-Gel Eye Mask RM 59 for 5pcs 

So far I'm not the type that will slap on a mask. It's not hard slapping on a mask,but I'm lazy.Nope no bags nor panda eyes...Mom do you want??

5) SecretLeaf Pure Oil Series 01 (Argan Oil) Full Size RM 75 for 15ml

Oh the rave, the rave on YouTube. Argan oil,also known as Liquid Gold of Morocco has finally hit Malaysian Shores. It's good for the hair,nails,wrinkles,lessen appearance of dark spots/pigmentation,scars e.t.c. I gave the Argan oil to me Mum.She has a small scar she wants to get rid off.So we shall see if there's any difference.:}

It took me forever simply because I wasn't around to Unbox until middle March.So, lets see what's installed inside February's Box.

1) BeautyMate Purifying and Brightening Nano Toner (Full Size) RM 49.90 for 120ml

That is one heavy bottle (Glass). I'm amazed it didn't crack during shipping&handling knowing the people in the mail room would play toss the box. Gotta finish some old stuff before devouring new items.

Nope,no need to slap emm on.Will keep for rainy days (Will use after watching tear-jerking movie)

Unboxing The Lilac Box (Feb Debut)

I'm back in KL :}. I came home 2 a room filled with boxes of goodies (Mostly beauty boxes and two packages from shopping online at Meletops Online Store).

The 1st package I grab was The Lilac Box (Feb Debut Box). This beauty box is pretty hard to grab as it's always sold out . It's not like other beauty boxes where there's a monthly sub (cancel any time before shipment) or the usual sub of 3-6months minimum 12months for a price.Basically, If you want to grab their monthly box, you can subscribe to their FB page for an update or just sign up at their website.If you get their announcement,better grab it fast or else...

The Lilac Box (FB)  
The Lilac Box (Website)

 It's a very simple box which I like. I don't know why people complain "Oh it's so simple.I expect it to be this and that for I paid so much and blahblah. Seriously people,it's not like you're going to eat the box.Bah!!

Amazing Products

1) Kérastase Resistance Rinse-Out Treatment in 75ml and Kérastase Resistance Reconstructing Shampoo in 80ml.

 Like seriously what an awesome sample size.I've tried the Kérastase Bain Chroma Riche (Luminous Softening Shampoo for highlighted/treated hair) and Kérastase Reflection Chroma Riche hair treatment masque. Love the scent and your hair feels amazingly soft (swishes her short hair like a mad woman). I can't wait to try.

2) Decléor Paris Aroma Cleanse Essential Cleansing Milk in 10ml and Decléor Paris Aroma Cleanse Essential Tonifying Lotion in 10ml

What are samples for..for trying of course. I'm not familiar with the brand even though the brand hit Malaysian shores back in 2010.I'm clueless when it comes to skincare/beauty items.I know nothing.

3) Burberry Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base in 1ml x 4 pieces
Burberry does skincare as well?..Told cha I'm a bit daft in the head.

4) Roberto Cavalli Perfumed Body Lotion in 30ml
 He makes beautiful gowns adorned by Movie Stars (Not bad for a daft person). Love the scent. I'm keeping this for myself ( I do give away certain products to me mum.Such a lovable daughter)
ter
5) MaxFactor Limited Edition Nailfinity in Boji in 4ml 
 I'm a sucker for nail polish & it's Limited Edition. I normally keep and try not to use these limited edition items cause it's LIMITED EDITION and you can't find them anymore. So I'll hang on to it till it gathers dust.

Sweet,sweet Lilac Box, what can I say..I'm So so so Happy. All your hand-picked premium goods are amazing and I can't wait to receive my 2nd box (March)..Counting the days darlings,counting the days.

Online Purchase (2nd Batch)-BathNBodyWorks&Victoria's Secret

Bought my 2nd batch of goodies from Ms Sara

Meletops Online Store

Her Spring 2013 collection for VS and BBW has just arrived and it was sprawled on my FB wall. Oh! the temptation. I wanted to try BBW (Bath&Bodyworks) and she had some travel sized body mist (88ml) ( She also carries the BodyLotion 236ml,BodyWash 236ml,AntiBac HandSoap259ml,their Mini Fragrance and of course their Fine Fragrance 236ml). 

I'm going to try the body mist before splurging on their Fine Fragrance. I've tried Moonlight Path,Twilight woods which are very mild,slight baby powder-ish smell and Forever Sunshine which smelled really good and I totally forgot the last one. Bought directly from the US through a friend. So much cheaper back then,but due to Exchange rate, oh well.

So for me 2nd purchase...I bought 4 bottles of BBW body mist travel size (88ml).
 One bottle is RM 35

 

RIO Rumberry

(An exotic blend of tropical berries, fresh papaya and vanilla blossom.)

This was introduce by Ms Sara. I wanted Bali Mango, but it was all sold out. Come to think of it,If I had chosen Mango, sometimes the scent can be over powering. I don't want to smell like a walking Fruit. Definetly not suitable for me.

 

Japanese Cherry Blossom

(A seductive and mysterious floral scent inspired by the exotic gardens of Japan) 

A very popular scent from the BBW range.  I can't wait to take a whiff....*Sniffff*

Dark Kiss

(A seductive blend of dark berries with a kiss of vanilla to unleash your most primal passions)

I wanted "Be Enchanted", but Ms Sara's supplier nicked the last one..Nevermind, I wanted this anyway. I like the name, Dark Kiss..Oh so Mysterious.

 

Sweet Pea

(A Fruity Floral Scent Evoking the Intoxicating, Foral Infused Breezes of the Mediterranean)

Another favourite scent from BBW. I've smelled their lotion and it's amazing.

Okay for the final two..It's Victoria's Secret time:}..

RM 50 each. Postage fee to Peninsular Malaysia is RM 5 for 1 bottle, RM 10 for 2 bottles and postage is free for any 3 bottles of VS/BBW products. Postage fee to East Malaysia is RM 10 for 1 bottle, RM 15 for 2 bottles and postage is free for any 3 bottles of VS/BBW products.

Oh yes you get a paperbag aswell:}

Victoria's Secret 2013 Fantasies Range (Limited Edition)

 

PoolSide Breeze

(An irresistible blend of water hyacinth and fresh dew)

  For the Fantasies range, there's Poolside Breeze, SunFlower and Berry Escape. I don't know if they carry them at our local VS boutique.Like I've mentioned our VS boutique is quite backward.

Last but not least

Body Mist With Shea Rich Indulgence 

(Infused with nourishing shea essence and conditioning aloe vera to leave your skin fragranced with a warm blend of cashmere woods and lily)

 I can't wait to try this.According to Ms Sara it's nourishing to the skin leaving skin feeling soft and smooth..I like..I didn't get the other Shea Essence which was "Luxurious Kiss".Maybe I should have,but then again there's plenty I want to purchase..:}...

 

Shopping's done till I head back to KL..Oh yes, I'll be doing a International Swap with Ramya for the 2nd time..Hmm..Till then...Cheerios

 

 

 

 

Online Purchase (1st batch)

Hello Darlings....

                As a bored housewife living in a small town with absolutely nothing to do but sit and stare at the PC with FaceBook constantly on, what's the next best thing to do..SHOP Online of course..I was browsing my fav website FriendlyFashion and under the classified section I saw an add for Victoria's Secret together with BathNBodyWorks.What caught my attention was Bath and Bodyworks.

Her name is Ms Sara and below is her FB Page. (She is super friendly,like Super.Ask her anything about VS or BBW and I'm sure she'll gladly answer your quest.)..This is in Ringgit Malaysia

Meletops Online Store
(100% Authentic and Up to Date)

The reason why I buy my VS online is not because we don't have a VS Boutique here.What we sell in our boutiques are just old scents and never the latest editions (Malaysia is slightly a backward country). I wanted the All Holiday's Collections Limited Eiditon Body Mist (Christmas 2012) and I asked the salesgirl. She looked at me as though I was speaking Klingon.The latest collection sold at the store for Christmas 2012 was "Midnight Dare"..Oh well...

 I know most people are afraid of buying VS online for the fear of buying counterfiet. I bought 3 bottles of fake VS, RM 35each (Labled Dubai Dutyfree)  and the scent obviously doesn't last long.I'm keeping it for spraying the bathroom,kitchen,room where ever possible.I know there's plenty of blogshops selling fake VS with sky rocketing prices and some like mine for only RM 35.So be careful and do your research unless you don't mind buying the fakes for spraying ya bathroom...
More info : Original Vs Fakes 

Moving along......

For my 1st purchase,I bought 5 bottles of Victoria's Secret Body Mist. I don't know how they smell,but I like collecting Limited Edition items.

 Lauched 2012 : Limited Edition Crystal Kiss
Refreshing Winter Citrus and Angel Lily scent

Limited Edition Frosted Bloom

Iced Cranberry and White Jasmin

Limited Edition Starlit Wish

Rich Vanilla and Velvet Plum

 

You're All Mine

A bright blend of Princess Apple and Bergamot Blossom.

Just One Kiss

Succulent Strawberry and Water Lily

 

 I didn't purchase the 3rd Love collection body mist which was "Lost in Love"..Hmm I wonder why..Sooooo

Total 5 bottles for RM275 free postage for 3 bottles above.She threw in a VS paperbag for me which was super cause I'm giving a bottle or two as a belated Christmas Gift.

Hokey..2nd batch coming soon...Till then Cheerios

Hi! Baby Here

Hi! My name is Baby. I don't have a name now cause I'm sexless (at the moment). I'm 14weeks old. Sorry if you can't see me properly.It's a pretty old machine. Mummy went to the clinic yesterday with daddy just to have a scan..Guess what, I've grown and I was doing the Harlem Shake in mummy's tummy. I was head banging, punching and kicking..(Sorry was too tiny then to do Gangnam Style)..
  Mummy's been telling me about Grandma's cooking. I can't wait to try. I heard it's Fantastic. I've been sending mummy Womb Service Signals but mummy says what I want,I can't get it here. Mummy told me to wait another week cause she and daddy are going back to KL. I can't wait.

Till then Cheerios
Baby
