I woke up at 5.30 a.m today for one reason.

To attend the Estee Lauder staff sale at Renaissance Hotel, KL.

I was told about this sale by a friend and only one word caught my attention. One brand out of the other brands such as Estee Lauder, DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger, Clinique, Bobbi Brown and etc, only one caught my attention. M.A.C.

I was sold.

Again.

Much thanks to my friend Janson, he got me passes for this sale :)

I was suppose to tag along with Kel Li and Jen but they planned to arrive at Renaissance Hotel by 5.30 a.m sharp. I thought that the idea was little too extreme for me so i decided to get myself there at 7 a.m or so, since it was printed on the ticket that the sale starts at 8 a.m until 3 p.m while stocks lasts.

Now when they said 8 a.m, they actually meant 7 a.m.

By 5.30 a.m, Renaissance was already buzzing with people queuing up. When Kel Li texted me about the situation, i got right up and started getting ready to head down to KL.

I arrived there at 6.15 a.m and the sky was still dark. Security there was strict, they didn’t allow anyone to jump queue. They even recognized faces, so tough luck jumping queues.

I managed to slot myself somewhere in front of the queue though, lucky me. And i met up with Kel Li and Jen inside the ballroom when the doors opened at 7.

I was hoping that i could snag some liquid foundation and pressed powder from M.A.C, but they only had products from the previous collections for sale.

So i got myself some eyeshadow, beauty powders, lip glosses, and nail lacquers.

There was no need to get rough over things cause we were the first batch to enter the ballroom. We only had to worm our way through the crowd.

Wish i could take a picture of the place but i didn’t bother bringing my camera. They don’t allow hand bags and such, so i only brought my wristlet.

Ahhh meet my new babies.

It was quite a good deal actually. Two Dazzleglass lip glosses selling for a price of less than one. They were all pre-packed so we can’t really pick what comes along with what.

Nonetheless, i’m still happy with my purchase.

Now it’s time for a rest..

Kiehl’s: Rare Earth

New stuff from the Kiehl’s website.

The Rare Earth series is specially for minimalizing pores. Just what i need. I’m getting real tired of clogged pores, hmpf.

I checked the Kiehl’s store at Mid Valley and they don’t have this series yet. They only have the Rare Earth Pore Cleansing Masque. I can’t wait for the rest to hit the stores so that i can try them out.

I did a little price survey too to prep myself. One cleanser is about RM 80+ and the other products are somewhat around that range. More or less *gulp*

Investment for better skin, i say. So yeap..
