i expected it to be bigger!
but then i got distracted when i saw pink everything on the shelves of soap&glory from the corner of my eye. i'm a sucker for packaging. and the colour pink. and the feet goes where the eyes see. i picked up everything! read what sweet goodness laid behind this tube and that jar and wanted to take home one of each!
body lotion? i want!
foot cream? i want!
shower gel? i want!
it's moments like these i'm thankful i have a rational side to me. the side of me where i reason with myself and tell myself NO! i dont need another body lotion cos i still have enough to last me for eternity. nor do i need a body scrub since i've already got one sitting in my bathroom that i hardly use. to be honest, i can probably count on one hand the amount of times i've used it. that decision however is regretted cos upon inspection just now, i think the body scrub can no longer be used. NOOOOOOO!!! i should have bought the body scrub that would make me smell like candy and give me the scrub of my life as promised on the packaging!
and so, i walked away.
and came face to face with bare minerals!
i first heard of this brand on TV. i was probably having breakfast when the ad came out and as the host kept detailing the benefits of mineral makeup, the more i wanted one. i was sold and THIS close to picking up the phone to order one! but of course, the rational me came in to save the day till i met a friend who was using bare minerals. i researched about it by asking all the right relevant questions and there was no turning back. i got myself the Get Started kit and have been using it ever since.
i'm happy this brand is finally in our shores. now i can easily get my refill and maybe the traveling sized brush that just pours out the powder as i dust it on my face. or maybe not. separation between wants and needs. separation between wants and needs. i need to instill this deep in my head.
moving on, urban decay! another brand that's brought in. yay! i'm currently using their eye primer and one of the eyeshadow palettes called get baked. the really popular palette is the naked palette and i can see why! the colours are earthy tones which i like. the ones sold here comes with a brush and a mini eye primer potion priced at RM175.
once again, i was tempted. separation between want and need. seriously, if i had the power of impulsiveness in me, i'd be very broke but very happy wtf.
then there were the nail colours and you know the best is from OPI. colour choices? you'd be better of with more variety at colour culture, IMHO.
if you hadnt already figured it out, i was at sephora today. was pretty excited to finally see what exciting new brands they brought in besides the standard brands we already have here. as mentioned above plus a few other brands like too faced, smashbox, korres, phyto and their very own sephora brand, i'd say its a good start. at least now we have brands that were once out of reach available right here in the heart of KL. or if we were that desperate, hop on over to our neighbouring sephora in singapore where i was also THIS close to buying an eyeshadow palette from urban decay. again with the eyeshadows. self-control is all i can say. it's a powerful word too wtf.

my only vice is that the store isnt big enough and there isn't enough brand variety brought in. even the range of products for certain brands wasn't extensive. or maybe i had higher expectations. whatever it is, i'm just finally glad we have a sephora in our shores now. no more fake shopping on sephora.com wtf.
