Sephora, Bath & Body Works Haul and Lipgloss Review

On Friday, I went to Yorkdale and decided to look around due to their "Continued" Boxing Day (or Week 0.o) deals that were going on.

We went to Sephora because Noah needed to buy a gift for one of his friends. I merely was looking around and WASN'T going to buy anything (doesnt that always happen when you go shopping). Than I noticed this lipgloss and the color just GOT ME and I ended up buying it.

This is bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss. The Color is called "Hypnotic". When you see this in the store, your like "O.M.G this is going to look amazing on my lips," especially paired with lipstick.

When applied on the hand it gives off a nice orange like tone but when you alter it under the light, it shifts between green-purple type color which really grabs you. When you open the package you get the same triple tone color which gets you so pumped to apply it and work that lip gloss to wherever your going. So whats my HONEST review...?

When I tried on my basic purple lipstick (I didn't want to use my MAC Heroine lipstick) and applied it on top, I didn't really see much of a difference. Truthfully it looks like a PLAIN CLEAR lipgloss. So I tried applying little more on and you can "slightly" see the difference in the light but the whole color alternating thing....Nah that doesn't work. Compared to what your expecting from when you look at its appearance.

Now is it a BAD lip gloss overall? 

No, its a DECENT lipgloss. It does make your lips look very nice and glossy. You can use it either by itself or with a nice lipstick or lip pencil. Maybe I need to try this when I go OUTSIDE on a nice sunny day or during summer which is when Im going to witness some better results.
When you wear it ON ITS OWN
When you apply it on you hand! Was so excited T_T
Basically, if your buying this lip gloss for the whole color changing thing...Nah...dont do it! There are much better lip gloss brands out there. I would honestly return it but since I used it, Ill be nice and keep it though my $21 bucks is gone.

After Sephora, I headed over to B&BW since I wanted some lotion to moisturize my legs (CAUSE THEY ARE DRYYYY and of course summer coming and I want them to be dress/short ready). So They were doing some more sales. It was 50% of the lotions and buy 3 for $12 on the body wash.  FYI the original price for the lotions were $13 bucks (even on boxing day) so I'm happy I was able to get it now for 50% than on boxing day with NO sale -_-
Country Chic- nice Tropical smell (reminds me of summer <3)
3 different types but didn't like the Coconut one so purchased these 2/extra lemon body wash
Twilight Woods is my current favorite!! Haven't tried Velvet but excited too
Finally went to Costco for some food shopping and picked this up! Can you believe its $8.99!!! One in shoppers drug mart was $5.99 and I got 4 for 8.99!!! I SMELL Savings <3~~~
Blueberry Acai, Strawberry Sorbet, Summer Fruit & Sweet Mint
Currently tried the Blueberry Acai. I understand why its so popular now! Really does wonders on your lips, especially mine (due to my normal usage of lipstick).

That's all I bought. Spent about $55 bucks for my little haul which was a good deal with all the sales. Won't be shopping for awhile, gotta start saving up for the travels and mommy presents for when she returns :P

Till Next Time....

Pandora Jewellery Disney/Winter Collection - Fairview Mall Review


Chriselle Lim-> Fashion Blogger collaborates with Pandora
Today I went to Pandora Jewellery, Fairview location to look into the Disney &Winter Collections which got released today Nov. 1. This is a limited edition collection that usually occurs during Christmas time for Pandora. So this is my review on Pandora, its customer service, and my current pandora charms. 

Pandora Jewellery is one of the few retailers that provide unique, authentic jewellery at an affordable price. The "charm bracelet" concept alone, is one of the most popular aspects of Pandora, offering various number of charms (more than 600), all with different meanings and perfect to buy for oneself or gifts for others. They defiantly embrace their key phrase "Unforgettable moments" because they're jewellery will have a way to remind you of events/people/occasions that were memorable and deserve a item to represent that moment.

I purchased my Pandora bracelet back in September of this year. I was introduced to the concept by one of my teachers and thought it was a unique. To be able to wear a bracelet that matches pretty much anything, looks expensive (the more charms, higher the value) and most importantly, HAD meaning to my life was a good deal. My Mom paid for me (Thank you Mommy XD) and my bracelet consisted of the following charms (including the ones I purchased today:
1.Sterling Sliver Bracelet- > $75 (required)
2. Korean Doll Charm-> $45, Meaning: My Korean music obsession
3. Love of My Life, Fancy Pink (2)-> $110 Meaning: My Mom Loves Me & I Love Her
4. Disney Sparkling Mickey & Hearts- > $95 Meaning: Love Mickey
5. Disney Minnie Pave-> $75, Meaning-> always love Minnie ALOT

6. King of the Jungle-> $45, Meaning-> My new Dad, King of Our world <3~ 

Total Value: $445

In total I have 6 charms out of the max 20 charms that can fit on the bracelet. The combination I have to admit really complements one another, especially with the sliver/pink mix. Im debating whether to add gold but with the other charms I'm planning on investing in, this bracelet will probably be mostly pink/sliver combo and will centre around my family, friends, hobbies and profession.

3 Charms I purchased/How they Look all Together
Now to talk about Pandora Customer Service:

I have went into two Pandora Locations so far: Yorkdale and Fairview. 
One of the negative about Yorkdale location (or the mall in general), is that they base their clients literally on appearance. Meaning, when you enter the store in a pair of sweats and don't look very "fancy", Don't expect to be served (unless its Michael Kors). When I went to show Noah the charms I were interested in, the two sales representatives didn't pay any attention to us. However, when two white females entered in the store, they were welcomed and address to immediately (racist much >3>). So I took my 200 bucks and decided not to purchase from that location. 

Fairview has been where BOTH my Pandora purchased have been conducted and I have never had a bad experience. Both encounters, I was serviced immediately when I walked in (First by a beautiful chinese girl, Kimi and Second, by a white girl named Cameron). Both were friendly, inviting, served us immediately, looking into detail to find charms that would fit my currently bracelet and were really outgoing. Its rare to get such service so, I talked to the manager herself (sadly there isn't a online guest feedback section for Pandora :O) and I made sure to recommend both of them as amazing employees and deserve to work at that location for as long as possible (HI KIMI <3~). 

Wish List Charms:
How my bracelet will look with (11/20) Charms 
Customer Service Overall : 10/10
Did I Find What I was Looking for: YES

It was an amazing experience and I have no hesitation in going to that location or getting more Pandora charms in the near future. Me and YunJoo were both invited to this Holiday party event that they're holding on the 29th and selling a limited edition charm which usually sells out during that party so going to look into that. Fun day and can't wait to fill up my bracelet with the other 4-5 charms on my wish list. 


Me and YunJoo: Two Very Happy Customers
Thank you YunJoo for Buying me the "King of the Jungle" Charm <3
