MASTER STARS PIECE: Trafalgar.Law

Last year I brought myself a Luffy figure and I really love the quality and its reasonable price tag.

Recently, Banpresto has release another figure for their Master Star Piece line and the character was Trafalgar.Law. 

I brought it immediately.

HOW COULD I SAY NO!

Actually there's a few new characters MSP has added which are Roronoa.Zoro also from One Piece and Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z. I was so so torn between deciding which one to buy but in the end I chose to buy Law's figure as I already had a P.O.P version of Zoro. 

Compared to the Luffy's box, this one has a glossy finish.

The figure was packed the same way as the Luffy's.

If you can notice, I wasn't given a "stand" but instead I got extra accessories, the swords.

Thankfully the figure was able to stand on its own without a stand.

There's a few ways to assemble the sword depending on how you like them.

First way.

Second way.

Trying on with the first way.

Side by side comparison with Luffy and you will notice that Luffy is so short compared to Law's figure but that's because in the manga, Luffy is 174cm and Law is 191cm (like WTF).

Anyway total damage was $36 and I brought them from Seimon-Cho at IMM outlet.

Now I'm waiting patiently for this...

Taobao Hauls

Attended a Taobao workshop some weeks ago with my friend, before attending the workshop I already have experience with buying things on Taobao. Unfortunately I had to use an agent to ship my hauls over as the depressing part is, most sellers on Taobao don't ship overseas and left with no choice I had to use agents to ship my stuff over ): 

BUT!

Now I no longer have to pay agent fees anymore thanks to learning how to buy things from Taobao the "right" way :>

I had placed an order on 4th July 2014, Friday.

Parcel delivered to me on 15th July 2014, Tuesday.

Instead of using an agent to ship your stuff over just use the freight forwarder service from Taobao.

(Do note that instead of going www.taobao.com please use www.sea.taobao.com )

There are plenty of  freight forwarders but I chose 4PX.

Whenever your item arrives at their warehouse they will send an sms and when the parcel arrived in Singapore they sent another sms. 

I enjoy unwrapping parcels, always felt like it is Christmas :x

My loots!

Sample Store Hauls

Have been hearing SampleStore 's from others so out of curiosity I decide to visit their website and take a look. They have many different arrays of samples to try out, after trying the samples you could also write a review on their website to earn some points and redeem other samples next time.

Taken from their website.

Some simple steps on how to get the samples.

My samples came in a very cute packaging but delivery time took almost a week ):

Security seal and a zip-lock underneath.

Packed in bubble wraps to prevent breakage.

What I got from SampleStore

BRAND'S® InnerShine® Marine Collagen Essence Strip

The jelly is smooth and chewy, no weird taste with a slight tinge of grape taste.

Because I only have 3 strips to try so I can't tell what difference it gave to my skin, I might purchase more to try next time?

ITOH Collagen Powder

Each sachet contains 3000mg of Collagen powder, it's tasteless, non-fat and non-sugar. 

Can be added to almost all drinks but I still prefer to add them to my Milo (:

Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Lotion

Didn't try them yet as my other Hada Labo lotion haven use finish yet. 

Did a small search on Google and some said this gave them breakouts so I kinda don't dare to try now ):

Bio-Essence Face Lifting Cream with Royal Jelly + ATP

Didn't feel any difference, but it moisturize my skin very well. 

Won't purchase.

STYLENANDA 3 Concept Eyes Lipstick Samples

Seen some pretty reviews on 3 Concept Eye cosmetics and wanting to try them for the longest time. 

So when i saw these sample babies for sale i couldn't resist :x

Since they are samples so they are quite small compared to my iPhone 5. 

Labeled numbers on them for easy reference.

Photo of the swatches in normal room light.

Under bright lights.

The lipsticks are quite smooth and has a slight glossy finish. 

What i like about them is that they are not as drying as some other lipsticks.

Spent around $2+ for all 9 colors?

MASTER STARS PIECE: Monkey.D.Luffy

Was at Vivo City some time ago because I wanted to go Toy's R Us (Don't judge) to buy Figuarts ZERO, in the end didn't buy any as they were't that appealing to me. Feeling dejected I continue to window shop around the place. But something caught my eye when I passed by one of the shop at level 2 just below Daiso. Outside the window display stood a Luffy figure that seems to be calling my attention, I can't really remember how much they were selling it for but the uncle was nice and gave me a discount! 

Damaged, $57. Have no idea is that considered cheap or not.

Front

When I first look at the box I thought I was conned as the box is shorter then the figurine.

When taken out of the box, wrap with plastic.

After un-boxing the figure I heave a sigh of relive, I'm not conned (:

Side by side comparison with a Manga.

Quite tall isn't he?

Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher #5 Apricot Pudding

Back with another review!

(●´∀｀●)

There is no external packaging for the blusher but it was sealed with a sticker.

The size of the blusher is around the size of a cookie, probably the reason why it's called the Cookie blusher.

(*´∀`*)

Seals, serials..

What I like the most of the blusher is that it comes with a very soft and fluffy puff which surprisingly picks up the blusher. 

The pigmentation of the blusher is very light and the texture is kind of chalky? Suited more for paler skin tones. 

Did a swatch on my wrist area, the blusher is not very pigmented so it took me a few swatches to build up the color. When applied to the cheek the color is natural looking and subtle, good for simple non exaggerating look.

The good is that I loved the fact that the blusher is cheap, easy and good to use which comes with an applicator  The bad is that it's not very long lasting. If you are looking for something more "strong" blusher maybe this is not the one for you.

Bangkok Day 3

I'm back to update my Day 3 of my Bangkok trip!

Had Nutella Crepes for breakfast, 65baht.

At Platinum Mall 1

Picture stolen from Weiling's blog :x

If you want to buy shoes and bags go to Platinum Mall 2 instead which just right beside only.

Had lunch in Platinum Food Center.

It's like our Singapore version of food court but instead of paying with money, we must go get this tap card from the counter. Just top up any amount you like and get your refund of any remaining amount once you don't need it anymore.

Took a Tuk Tuk to MBK

With Joey (:

Re-dyed my roots and braided my hair.

Those girls saw my braid and all of them go did the same thing, result in us all 4 girls with the same hair!

Look like some girl band or something haha!

Wanted to try the Bike taxi and Wendy being the only adventurous one took one with me.

Yes, she sit like that during the journey. 

60 baht each from MBK back to Pantip Plaza.

Had leg massage at the same place where I did my Thai massage during my last trip there.

Loots of the day!

Still have 1 more post of Day 4, stay tuned!
