Loot: Random stuff

You know, i gotta admit that retail therapy works bests for me. Clothes, makeup or whatever, as long as i get to buy what i want to buy.

Wants and needs are two different things, and it feels damn good to be indulging in your wants *rubs palms*

I made a quick trip to Sunway Pyramid for two things – Daiso and Watsons.

Though i didn’t find the things that i initially wanted to buy Daiso, i managed to get a couple of other things that would come in handy..

.. For my Melbourne tripppp!

Yes! Tickets and accommodation are all confirmed for Melbourne on 19th August. I’m so excited!


It’s free size, so it’s kinda big for my feet. But still.. to keep my feet nice and warm!


My loot from Watsons that’s probably worth sharing

I restocked on my mascara even though i still have some left cause i’m greedy like that. I also bought a mini Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid face wash for my travel. I like the fact that all the Hada Labo facial wash has mini-mes. They look really cute beside the normal sized ones.

And last but not least, i bought a box of facial masks from Face Q instead of the usual Hada Labo masks. The reason i picked Face Q over Hada Labo is cause they’re cheaper. Also, Face Q is a sister brand of My Beauty Diary. So i suppose that they are as good.

For a box of 10 pieces of facial masks, Face Q is only RM 39.92. However, Hada Labo masks costs about RM 35+ for a box that has only 4 pieces!

It’s time to be beauty savvy *nods*

It’s just too bad that everything is written in Chinese.

I just did my facial routine last night, so i won’t be trying these babies out until next week. I’m having some good expectations from them!

Announcement: Homecoming Gift

So which lucky reader will be chosen to receive this gift box?

Like i mentioned before, the winner for this giveaway will be chosen at random. So the fate of that person lies on the true random number generator on random.org.

I had to be very calculative about what number to insert into the generator cause after all, the whole process has to be fair.

Let’s do some calculations shall we. Out of 60 comments, i minused 8 replies from myself and one more from Megan L. So we’re left with 51 comments. I’m gonna insert a range of 1 to 51 in the generator and let it work its magic.

And the lucky number is..

#27!

Congratulations, Helena!

I’ll be sending you an email very soon regarding your gift :)

Hello!

And welcome back to jamiechin.com!

Oh how i’ve missed typing here! It’s been so long since i last blogged. It’s giving me a weird but familiar feeling.

So anyway, how are you guys? And what do you think about this new place?

I know it’s different from the previous layout. That’s cause i’ve always wanted a neat and minimal layout. Just so you know, i’ve packed some extra features in this blog to make it more interesting for you guys!

1. There’s more categories and tags

2. At the end of every post, there will be a thumbs up ‘like’ button. So even if you don’t comment, please feel free to abuse it and click LIKE!

3. There’s a new page on top, Ask. Feel free to drop my some questions there if you have any!

4. On the side bar, there’s a section called HYPE! This is for all the awesome shiz that i’m currently hooked on. It could be music, videos or events even.

5. I updated my portfolio. Now it’s arranged in gallery form.

6. Wider content space, which means bigger pictures!

And that’s about it!

So how’s my blog treating you so far?

I know we’re all eager to get to the part where i talk about what’s been going on since this place died. If you’re following me on Twitter, i suppose you’d have a slight idea on what i’ve been up to since.. February.

Well honestly, i just went mojo searching. It came to a point where i don’t enjoy blogging as much anymore. It felt like an obligation. So i took the chance to close my blog and reconstruct it while i live life the way i wanted to.

Over the months, i got to have a lot of me time. I only worked on my blog whenever i wanted to.

Slowly i found myself thinking to myself.. in blogging style. All the stuff that i could’ve shared. That’s when i knew that it’s time to return to my blog.

I spent a lot of my time with Hoongmao. I was at his office quite often, just minding my own business. Sometimes i would even head over there after classes with snacks for our tea break together.

Then on May, we hit the two year mark.

I got him a Masterpiece Optimus Prime. And i got to see him act like a little boy again.

My nights during my hiatus has been really enjoyable as well. As usual, it involved a lot of drinking. It was fun cause i didn’t have to care about taking pictures or whatsoever for blogging purposes, though i still took some pictures on some event nights.

Not to mention that i can repeat all my outfits and no one will know cause i didn’t take any pictures.

And then came exams.

Well, i did my best.

Results are gonna be released this week. I really hope that i’ll pass all my subjects. Cause i totally abused this semester by slacking almost everyday.

My skin got really bad.. and it’s still is. I keep sprouting zits and all sorts. At that time, i could blame it on my exams. But now that it’s over and my face is still like that, i really should stop being in denial.

And funny enough, i had job bookings right after my exams!

And i only had one day to get myself prepared. Trimmed my brows and dyed my hair, that kinda stuff.

I had a total of four bookings. I know it doesn’t sound a lot, but they were almost back to back okay. It felt like my skin and hair were crying in agony, telling me to please stop abusing them.

Obviously i didn’t.

And that’s what Jamie Chin’s been up to!

There’s more, but i’ll leave that to later cause i wouldn’t wanna run out of blogging material you know.

BUT!

It’s not the end of this post yet.

You didn’t think i’ve forgotten about you guys after being away for so long right. Well as a homecoming gift, i’ll be giving all of these away to one of you!

Ahem, sorry guys. Got nothing manly for you :(

Anyway, all of these products are brand new! And three out of four products are bought with my own money, a couple even just for this giveaway. They’re all picked by me so i’ve put quite some love and effort into these items.

They are:

  1. MAC Beauty Powder in Summer Rose (limited edition)
  2. Shu Uemura Lip Duo Tint & Gloss in Love Apricot (limited edition)
  3. OPI Nail Lacquer in Got A Date To-Knight!
  4. Maybelline Long Extreme Stiletto mascara

I also have a little box for these items. It will be wrapped and packaged with a nice pink ribbon too.

There terms are simple – just leave me a comment!

Include your name, email address and blog URL if you have one. It would also be great if you have me linked in your blog and are following me on Twitter :)

I will randomly select one lucky reader for this giveaway. Though it’s gonna be random, i do hope to give these to someone who has been loyal and sincere to my blog. I like to have real, sincere people around.

I will then deliver these items to one of you either personally or by mail, depending on you. Please note that i will need a couple of days to bubble wrap the items before sending it out if you choose to receive it by mail.

Also, please note that i reserve the right to change my mind about the chosen winner if that person appears to be rude and shit after being selected. Cause it sucks when people act like you “owe it” to them. I want my efforts to be appreciate too, you know!

Well, that’s about it!

Don’t forget to give me a thumbs up below and start dropping your comments! :)

I MISSED YOU GUYS!!

It Was A Good Day

It started of with me waking up earlier than usual, which was around 11am. It was good because it felt like i had more hours to spend. After being on holiday for more than two months now i always fail to wake up before 12pm.

Gymed. Then did a little shopping to “reward” myself.

I dropped by SaSa to get my first liquid eyeliner. After much consideration and research last night, i’ve set my mind on Kiss Me’s Heavy Rotation liquid eyeliner.

The salesgirl managed to persuade me to get these facial masks. They were only RM 11 for three *shrugs shoulders*

Butt itching to try out the liquid liner now. It’s been a while since i played with black, so i’m gonna do it this weekend.

CAT EYES!

Oh, and i finally picked up my Shu Uemura products! I am reunited once again with my beloved Cleansing Oil *swoons*

I’m VERY happy with all of my new stuff!

img_0567

Aside from the Cleansing Oil and loose powder that i ordered, i also got some extra products from the Christmas 2010 collection!

The Miracle Cherry Blush Tint and Love Apricot Lip Duo Tint and Gloss.

Super happy that i got the blush tint because it’s something from the collection that i would love having but was too kiamsiap to buy for myself. HEHE!

Also not forgetting the mini brush set!

Comes with lip, eyeshadow, blending, and powder brushes

Thank you! :)

So happy i feel like clapping my hands now! Or do the badger dance!

How Many Shampoos You Wanna Buy?

No more! T^T

Recently i’ve been buying so many hair products until it’s starting to get ridiculous. It’s like i’m trying to stock up shampoo and other hair products for an apocalypse. Ok maybe not really.

During my Christmas trip at Singapore last month, the only store i was looking forward to shop at was Watsons.

Mainly because i wanted to get the much talked about hair product brand, Essential.

When i walked into Watsons, panda went to get a trolly and as soon as it arrived, i started chucking in all the products i wanted.

This, this, this.. oh and that too. Hmm.. should i get the pink one.. or the orange one.. aiyah just get both la.

Then as i walked, i stumbled across the Shiseido Tsubaki shampoo. Got that too.

img_0521
Total was SGD 61

On that same trip, my sister called me up and asked if i wanted L’Oreal’s professional shampoo. I just went ahead and said yes, since she’s buying right.

It’s not the same as the L’Oreal Paris shampoos you find at pharmacies. It’s the professional shampoo that you find in saloons. Mmm..

img_0530

I started using it already and i really like it.

Shampoo really makes a lot of difference. If you want really nice hair, those shampoo from pharmacies ain’t gonna help. You gotta get the professional ones.

I’m thinking of investing on professional shampoos already since i recently found a store in the neighbourhood that sells all these hair products.

Just a couple of days ago, Cai Jin recommended me to a store in Pearl Point and my goodness it’s heaven. It was having a sale and there was all this buy 1 free 1 and 50% discount shit going on.

People from OKR would know where’s Pearl Point ;)

img_0518

I’m trying these for the first time so i didn’t go batshit crazy when buying. I got two shampoos from Schwarzkopf (buy 1 free 1), spray conditioner for moisture from Schwarzkopf (buy 1 free 1) and a serum from Kerastase.

Total was about RM 200.

The price of each product averages around RM 60 like that.

Total shampoo count in this post = 5 and + 1 L’Oreal Paris shampoo that i’m still kinda using. That’s it, man. No more buying hair products.
