$34 Cotton On Haul

Hi all,

Sneak peak of the Haul

I know I said I'd blog often but I've been getting these weird continuous sharp stabbing pain in my left wrist which the doctor assumes to be signs of carpal tunnel syndrome. I've been asked to rest it for two weeks and go back if the pain persists. It's been two weeks now and it's gotten so much better \o/ yayyy looking forward to a full recovery. Still hurts a but I'm glad I won't be needing an operation to fix it... the wikipedia pictures were very disturbing.

Stepping away from this gorey start lets begin with the Cotton On haul. Please note I do not own any of the following pictures unless otherwise indicated. The pictures are all taken from the Cotton On site. They currently have free shipping on orders over $50 which is a steal when all the items are cheap and it's relatively easy to spend $50. Although saying that I did split the order with my friend as I didn't have a need to spend $50. Got 8 items in total, averaging $4.25/piece. 

I've also made a Cotton on Haul YouTube video on this whole post. If you'd like to see the items on camera and hear me rant than feel free to watch the video. I have mixed it up to avoid expressing the same opinions from the video in this review so please read this blog post and watch the video if you have time. Thank you

THIN STRAP THONG

RRP: $9.95

Sale Price: $2.00

$2 for a pair of thongs? How can you say no. They aren't comfortable... but then again they aren't uncomfortable.  Not a pair you'd want to wear out all the time but more-so something to have in the bag for gym or going to the beach. Always good to have a spare!

Eternity tank pink tint

RRP: $12.95
Sale Price: $5.00

To be honest the main reason I got this tank top was cause of the model. She looks so good in it... kinda making me feel like I'd look good in it too. Damn you pretty models who make me buy things I don't need. In additional the colour I ordered was 'pink tint' which they didn't have a modelled picture off. Just this generic photo of girl in a white tank top... So I was thinking pink tint would look something like this:

But instead I got this thing... Like seriously what the. If this is pink tint then my hair colour is blue... One of the more disappointing items from this order.

Pink tint?

FOREVER TANK MARINA BLUE

RRP: $12.95

Sale Price: $2:00

This item is not only more aesthetically pleasing than the pink tint tank top but also $3.00 cheaper! Albeit the model looks hotter in the pink tint tank top; the physical version of this tank is better out of the two. Let this be a lesson not to judge clothes by how the model wears it but rather the clothes itself. Saying so ... I will still probably be guilty of doing this.

Evie Flat Silver Mirror Metalic

RRP: $19.95

Sale Price: $5.00

Please note the flats I bought don't have the bow at the front. I was unable to find the version of the flats I originally bought but this does look exactly the same just with additional bows. Cotton on were selling these two version but I do prefer a more simplistic look and thus chose the non bow version.

GOLD PRIMO FLAT 

RRP: $19.95

Sale Price: $5.00

What is silver without gold? I had to buy a matching pair =] and for only $5.00. Especially with Australia's ridiculous overpriced items $5.00 for a pair of flats is a bargain!

Lisa Maxi Dress

This skirt was bought at a physical Cotton On store, thus no professional picture for me to steal and use. The picture does not do it justice.

RRP: $39.95
Sale Price: $5.00

This is hands down my favourite purchase from the Haul.The material is made 100% from polyester and feels like silk on the skin. Also has internal lining which means no awkward underwear flashing =D plus I saved 87%+ on RRP. I would never in my wildest dreams imagine getting such a gorgeous maxi skirt for $5. It mimics high end maxi skirts with it's colour, design and material.

DEMI 3/4 TIGHTS

RRP: $15.00

Sale Price: $5.00

Do not get this. Never in my life have I worn tights this uncomfortable. They are so itchy =[ not worth $5.00 not even worth it for free. Heck you could pay me to wear it and I still wouldn't.

TOBACCO WAVE TUBE SKIRT

RRP: $24.95

Sale Price: $5.00

Bit mehh~~ about this. Ordered a size small and it doesn't fit very well =[ I think I over stretched it in my youtube haul video. Colour also looks different from the model, slightly darker in real life.

Conclusion

Overall very glad with my purchases. Usually for $34 I might buy one dress or a tub of foundation, but from this I got 8 items. Winning!

Thanks for reading!

Take Care.

PHOTO SHOOT: Summer in Spring

It's been way to long since I last had a photo shoot with Miss Sennnaa. My first photoshoot with her was all the way back in July and you can see all the photos I took here.

This time Miss Sennnaa and I went to a more foresty location with gorgeous leaves, a vintage bridge and bright glass. The location made all the photos pop! I did have a bit too much fun at the photo shoot and editing these photos.

Dress from: http://wholesale7.net/sexy-charm-match-color-long-dress_p16639.html  Please do NOT buy the dress. The padding is poorly done and the dress keeps sliding off, material is also of very low quality. The only good thing about the dress would be the colours.
Shoes from: Switch

Taxed from my instagram: li__su 
This was the first part we went to take pictures. Vines were AMAZEBALLS

I was trying to go for a sexy chic look. And damn do models make it look easy.

Picture of Miss Sennnaa from her instagram: lazypandah

The vines at the place were absolutely gorgeous. I don't think the pictures do enough justice. Next location was the bridge!

Slightly disappointed my wedges didn't match very well. Spontaneous decision.

Miss Sennnaa was rocking the bridge! Matching heels too.

Later on more photos were taken just at some plane old tree. Nothing too special but the pictures still came out nice =D I think it's cause of all the green!

Slightly annoying the cars kept driving by...

Now that I look at it the grass isn't that green... awk.

To finish off the photo shoot Miss Sennnaa took pictures of me on the ground which were just rocking! Probably my favourite pictures of the shoot.

Who knew just a bit of grass was all you needed for a photo shoot?

Definitely my favourite picture! I mustache you a secret question.

Many thanks to Miss Sennnnaa for taking these pictures and taking me to such a gorgeous location. Please stay tuned for more photoshoots, reviews, hauls, videos and food spammage! 

Take care, ♥♥♥♥♥

Review: Gundam MODEL SDX Ryusou Ryubi

Image taken from HobbyCo

A less conventional blog than normal today. If it's not your thing... Yeah I understand everyone is different blah blah BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? You should still read it. Cause I wasn't interested in model making. It looks tedious and time consuming and I always imaged those guys with really bad acne and thick frames and oily hair making the models. Okay not to that extreme but it's not something girls would usually do or stereotypically do. Well I'm here to throw away these conceptions, be who I want to be, find my inner self and DELVE INTO THE POOL OF SOCIAL FEMININE STEREOTYPING DESTRUCTION!

Ok I'm blabbering a bit =[ I just had 3 exams in 6 days. Let me be a bit abnormal. Very sleep deprived now. But the blogging must go on!

So I made my SDX Ryusou Ryubi Gundam **DNO** model at home which a friend got for me from the Smash Convention earlier this year. The tickets are reasonably priced for a typical anime, manga convention $29 online and $35 at the door. Although I vaguely remember there being some early bird discount. Please do not quote me on this as I am not 100% sure. And technically my friend wasn't even allowed to take the models out of the HobbyCo Gundam Workshop but he sweet talked his ass off to get one. Yayers! Well actually he didn't get it for me he got it for another friend but somehow I ended up getting it...

If you ever want to do the Gundam workshop for yourself you can at the Smash event. For terms and details please click this link. As SMASH is a once in a year event I do understand that not all of you will be able to make it and might still want to make these models. Well fear not. You can still buy them and make them yourselves if you have a nearby Hobbyco. If you want to buy the SDX Ryusou Ryubi Gundam **DNO** I've already made you can find it at Hobbyco for $30.49 which I think is a bit overpriced for the size, however the material is very high quality and they're all imported from Japan. So I guess they have to make money somehow.

Okay onto the model making. It's hard to explain how fun model making is as they have all these small pieces and you kind of feel like Frankenstein with all the pieces you're merging together to make a human like object. It's a very personal experience and you get a lot of satisfaction fitting all the pieces together. It's like you’re having a good scratch or finally finding the lid to that pen you never had a lid for.

To start off with your given breakable pieces to put together and and instructions pamphlet in Japanese which is always good to have.

These are the sticker decorations you can put on along the way.

Instructions in Japanese which really aren't helpful at all. Put the pictures pretty much say everything.

My half complete model.

My model with no armour. This could be the equivalent of Mecha wearing no armour. 

This is the fully complete version with all the stickers and armour and uber cool mini swords.
The model  is actually extremely small.

Close up

It's amazing how much detail goes into these little things!

Here's a picture of the Gundam model I made this year with a Model from SMASH from last year!

All in all if you're ever at any free Model making workshop please check it out as you just might explore a part of your inner childhood and creativity that you didn't even know you have. Price wise they can be expensive and I'd probably buy clothes instead of buying a $30 model as I can wear it out endlessly but the model just sits at home. But they are very fun to make and if it's of interest to you then definitely worth the money.

Miwari.

Review: Kose SOFTYMO Deep Cleansing Oil

おさしぶり

In my recent SaSa haul I mentioned this product bought from the site www.sasa.com. If you want a direct link to the product please click THIS. By no means am I sponsored to do this post... I wish T.T thus anything I do say is my own opinion.

Now time to get down and clean with this product.

"Kose softymo Deep Cleansing Oil blends orange oil and Oryza Sativa (rice) bran oil to dissolve makeup and remove impurities in pores. Cuticle-clear ingredient helps remove dead cuticles, leaving skin purified and refreshed"

Price: I bought this on sale for $11.30 however SaSa usually sells it for $13.30. Either price is reasonable as the size and quality more than compensates for the price.

Size: 230ML. The product has a generous amount of liquid. I'm sure this will last me more than a year.

Formula: As it is an oil remover it does feel exactly like that on your face. Personally not the most pleasant texture to remove makeup with. But the oily feeling is only temporary. Don't forget to rinse your face afterwards!

Effect: This is the BEST makeup remover I have used up until now. In comparison to some of the others like Cyber Colors Eye makeup remover, Garnier makeup remover sheets, Johnsons and Johnsons makeup remover sheet and a few others.

I always like to apply my makeup literally between my eyelashes. Not above or below the eyelashes. But where my eyelashes are. I know this is probably very bad for my eyes but the effect is very natural. Sometimes you just have to make sacrifices. For a long time I've had a lot of difficulty removing the makeup between my eyelashes especially my water proof makeup. But with Kose deep cleansing oil it's only taken a pump and POOF everything is gone. None of that hard rubbing and endless product usage. All I do is take a pump on my palms rub on my face and remove excess with make-up removal puff.

Packaging: Pump nozzle. Supper convenient to moderate the amount you need and very hygienic.

Suitability: For all skin types. I have combination skin which is always hard to deal with. Especially when you have one part of your skin demanding more hydration and another part producing extra oil. My Skin does not break out from this nor does it get dry.

How to apply: 

Full face make up at the end of the night.

Step 1. Apply to dry face and fingers and massage gently over the face.
(Here half face is removed)

Step 2. After it is emulsified, rinse of thoroughly.
Final result, not a speck of makeup!

Overall: Would definitely buy again. I'm always one for trying new products but when I do find something I like that does the job perfectly I tend to stick to it.

Story time!

I've used this remover for about a month before I wrote this review and every night I'd go to sleep with this thick layer of oil on my face and wake up with it still there. Sure the makeup was removed but my face felt like I was swimming in thick gooey oil. At this point I was really indecisive with the quality of the product. Even if it does remove all my makeup I'm not that keen on a product which takes me back to puberty and beyond every night. Flash forward to me writing this review and I go to the sasa page info for the product description and underneath the how to apply guide it says 'After it is emulsified, rinse of thoroughly'... I'm gobsmacked. This whole time I've just left the oil residual on D:  Let this all be a lesson to read instructions carefully before applying anything to your face!

Signing of with a picture of how my makeup looked before it got all oily later on in the night. 

Take care my readers and stay happy ♥ ❤ ❥ ❣

MINI SASA HAUL: Kose SOFTYMO Deep Cleansing Oil, Clinique MOISTURE SURGE Face Spray Thirsty Skin Relief, C+M SPF 30PA+++ Baby Mild Sun Screen Milk

Now that you've skipped reading the long title it's time I talked about my mini SaSa haul.

So recently SaSa had a promotion where they gave free shipping on orders over $19 USD. They usually always have a 'spend $29 USD or more to enjoy free shipping' but when I ordered on the 24th of July it was $19. Now that was something sweet.

The shipping time was fairly short. Since it was such a long time ago... I'd take a rough estimate around 2-3 weeks. Since I'm always ordering stuff online I start losing track of what I've bought where. I just get ecstatic when I see another parcel at my door.

Packaging was so over the top. I had these three fairly small products and they put it in this humongous box with all these puff balls. Slightly unnecessary to pack it in such a big box but I really appreciate they effort they go into.

They even personally bubble wrap the products inside the big box with all the puff balls. Could they get more careful or what? You really can't complain if your product is damaged since it's evident SaSa has tried beyond the requirements of man kind! Plus the free bubble wrap is awesome for Friday nights home alone.

Onto the products I bought. For my first item I got Kose SOFTYMO Deep Cleansing Oil. At the time they had a 15% promotion which meant I got the product for $11.30 instead of $13.30. Bargain! I'll do a review on the product later but I can tell you that this product removes your waterproof, sweatproof anything proof makeup like no tomorrow.

REVIEW OF KOSE SOFTYMO DEEP CLEANSING OIL (updated)

On an alternative note Kose has also released a more gentle cleansing oil called SOFTYMO White Cleansing Oil which sasa.com sells for $10.40. I laughed a bit too long when I read the description for the product "Kose

Softymo White Cleansing Oil can remove make up and dirt effectively. It removes excess horny layer with melanin and makes your skin transparent and soft. ". LOOOL "HORNY" together the KOSE cleaning oil's go deep and horny. Immaturity level over 9000 right now...

For my second product I bought Clinique Moisture Surge 'Face Spray Thirsty Relief' 30ml for $5.20. I am biased to branded products like 'Clinique', 'Lancome' etc but renowned brands are popular for a reason. They do the job and it's much less riskier to buy a product everyone favours. I am yet to use this product but it does have a slight PV glue smell when I take the lid off and smell it...

And my last product is C+MSPF 30PA+++ Baby Mild Sun Screen Milk 35mls which I got for $2.60 during a SaSa sale at the time. The product is heaps cute and compact and perfect for the upcoming warmer seasons. I've done a hand swatch and the texture is amazing. Smooth and silky like normal moisturising cream not like normal sunscreen at all. A must have product!

All together these three items cost $19.10. Yay for grabbing bargains and getting free shipping. Loving SaSa.com
