When i was bringing a Singaporean friend around for shopping at Sunway Pyramid yesterday, i discovered this shop in Asian Avenue called Lash Bar.

It’s been a long time since i last went shopping, so i was very excited to find a new shop at the place where i used to visit quite often. I got even more excited after i walked into the shop because of the things they had.

It was literally a lash bar!

They had rows and rows of false eyelashes. All kinds of imported lashes. They have lashes that comes in a box that contains 10 pairs, and pairs of lashes sold separately. The prices vary from RM 10 to 30 depending on which.

I bought this pair of lashes for RM 16 cause the whole store was on discount. The original price was RM 20. The shop is still rather new. It was opened a month ago or so.

So happy that i don’t have to make trips to Timesquare to get my lashes anymore. And i don’t have to go hunting for other places to buy them.

Besides false eyelashes, there were also some makeup palettes, brushes and cosmetic bags. One more thing i noticed is that there were also a couple of popular eyelash glue brands. It looked familiar cause i’ve seen a few makeup artists using them before.

I asked the lady who was working there (who i assume is the boss) regarding the makeup palettes she was selling and she told me that they’re from the same manufacturer as Coastal Scents.

Ah.. no wonder! The popular makeup palettes from Coastal Scents are not that hard to miss, you know.

Honestly, i never thought of getting a Coastal Scents palette even though they were so popular. Mainly because all the ones that i saw was the rainbow palette like this one.

But when i was at Lash Bar, i saw this really nice palette that contains all the greys and browns and some other colours. Colours that i would actually use. The palette costs RM 45.

Panda was very nice to buy it for me as an early Christmas gift. I was SO HAPPY!

It was quite an impulsive buy because i did not do any research before buying. Come to think of it, it’s quite scary too.

How would i know if it’s really from the same manufacturer as Coastal Scents? What if it’s made from some where else and the ingredients are somewhat hazardous?

Well i came home and searched the Coastal Scents website. According to the site, this palette is the 88 Warm Palette. And i found a couple of differences.

ONE. The description says that the casing is matte. The one i got is glossy.

TWO. The difference in the “clasp”.

Other than that, it looks exactly the same. The colours to which colour is shimmer and matte.

I’ve yet to test the quality of the eyeshadows though. I’m looking forward to bringing it on my trip to JB tomorrow and it better not fail me.

I suppose i’m not too scared because it’s just eyeshadow and it was quite a bargain. Plus i didn’t have to wait for it. Well we’ll see how it goes!
