Exam's over!!!

I don't know if you read my previous post but if you have, you would know that I had exams around then. The good news is... I'M DONE WITH THEM!!!!!! What is a better way to celebrate than to SHOP right?? I got a few things and one thing that I really can't wait to share is this bag I got from Mong Kok. Well if you know me then you would know that I love pink and girls things but I won't really wear it or carry pink bags much (it is cos I always change clothing item so I rather have link accessories which I can use daily), this bag is a but out of my comfort range in using but I have to say I am so proud that I had the courage to get it cos it is SO CUTE!! This is a photo of it:



Isn't this so adorable?? I knew you would agree :D

Anyway, this is it for now, gonna be having a fab day tomorrow and take a lot of pictures. It might just be my first time posting about something that IS NOT shopping relate :D

For all of the pretty people out there, STAY CUTE!!!

LONG TIME NO SEE

It has been a very long while that I have posted any blogposts, it has been a crazy few months for me; all the work, pressure and drama. But less talk about the past and more talk about the present, this blogpost is more going to little things that I have found lately and just interesting things, hope you will enjoy.

So a little bit about what is gonna happen in the very new future, my finals are in a two days and I am treasuring my time when I am not revising. After that there would be a little celebration and maybe a little surprise :). Another thing is after that I would be in a workshop that I had to enroll but I hope it is going to be fun and useful. and then.... I WOULD BE GOING TO NEW YORK!! I can't want at all!!!

Okay, the next thing, DUHHHHHHHHHHH! Yup it is a mini haul, from LUSH

I know I would usually order things online from their UK website, but since I had a 10% off coupon and I am gonna leave from US soon so I really wanted to try some of the LUSH products. So I bought three soaps, two shampoo bars and one solid conditioner.

Soaps:

- Bohemian: If you love the scent of lemon but with a tint of sweetness to it, you would love this LUSH soap, it sends out a refreshing zesty scent that is perfect for a hot Summer's day

- Lust Soap: This is the rosiest scent I have ever seen in a soap!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE cos I just love anything rose. The only one bad thing is that it breaks easily but if you can live with it then it is perfect for a rose lover.

- Rock Star: Rock Star has a sweet but unexplainable kind of scent, if you wanna know how this smells like, GO TO A LUSH THAT IS NEAR YOU!! :)

Shampoo Bars:

- Jumping Juniper: This has a lavender scent and looks very lavender, have been using this for a few days and I have to say that I quite like it, don't know what it does to your hair though

- Karma Komba: This smells of lemon grass and that short of refreshing earthy grassy scent, haven't tried it out but was recommended for people who have oilier scalp and dry hair due to chemical damages, seems like a perfect shampoo for the Summer.

The next thing I found really interesting is this!!!

So I don't know if you have ever realized that when Japanese people write on plain blank white paper, they just somehow manage to always write straight across the page?? Well I can tell you that not ALL of them can do it off just by hand, but they have an interesting device.

As you can see on the left, it is a piece of harder paper that has lines on it and what you can do with it is you can put your plain sheet on it and use it as a guideline to write straight, and on the back, it has little squares for you to use if you need to draw charts or diagrams. It actually came with the pack of paper and I honestly think that this was really interesting :D

That is pretty much it for now, I would be posting a bit more later on this month os hopefully I would have the time.

btw, if you know me, I am actually clearing up my room and knowing me well enough then you would know that I have a lot of things that I buy but don't use so I would be having a very big giveaway, so look out for it if you are looking for accessories and other weird stuff!

LUSH Online Shopping

This is for all beautifuls who has a credit card and a huge love for LUSH products.

No one can resist loving freshly handmade cosmetics. If this statement is true then no one can resist LUSH cosmetics.

LUSH carries products all the way from body and hair cleansing, skin care to even organic hair dyes, and they have stores all around Hong Kong. Though we already have so much to choose from, there still are items that we just simply can't get our hands on, especially when they are all sold out!

It truly wasn't my intention to shop online for LUSH because I honestly didn't see the point in it, but since I really have waited long enough for my dry shampoo to get to Hong Kong, I recklessly went onto LUSH's UK online store and order my dry shampoo even if it means I have to pay for shipping. Yet to my surprise, everything was just so cheap compared to the pricing in Hong Kong that I couldn't stop myself from adding more into the shopping cart. After a long browse, I was astonished to see how much I have actually saved up even including all shipping payment. Therefore, I have decided to share this amazing deal along with a few tips and tricks while shopping online for LUSH.

To begin with, LUSH products comes in very good and safe packaging and it arrives on time so they are very trustworthy with their shipping. Also you only get to choose between 2 international shipping prices which solely depends on the weight of your purchase so it is very simple and user friendly.

With all LUSH products, they are given a price per a particular weight, so I did the maths for you and the above numbers are the amount you are paying per gram, all in HKD. Also I got a few that you can't get in Hong Kong so there isn't a comparing price.

In order to make the comparison easier, I have only calculated the total amount I needed to spend on items that you can purchase from both HK and UK while excluding shipping.

UK - $176

HK - $290

As you can see, you can save $114 just with the products alone and even with the shipping for this order, it is only $8 extra. This also means that if you buy more from now, you are saving up all the money you are paying for the rest of the items.

- TIPS AND TRICKS -

1. There are only two shipping payments for you to choose from, 0-1kg or 1-2kg. Therefore the more you buy within the range, the more you are saving up.
2. In order to get more, try to combine shopping orders with your friends so you can share the burden of the shipping payment.
3. If you have friends who are in UK and you wish to order to them to save more, try to purchase only 3-4 days before they leave and buy the 'Receive in 2 days' with, I believe, around 5 pounds. This is because LUSH products are freshly made, you won't want them to sit at your friend's until they get back to deliver your purchase.
4. To save as much as you can, I would recommend you to choose all products that you MUST buy and then check how much weight you have left to fill and then shop for more to use up all the 1/2kg you have.

I hope this information is beneficial to all of you and until next time,

stay cute!
