DJ Havana Brown – Crave Mini Mix

Hey Peeps!

I don’t know about you, but I love DJ Havana Brown.

She currently has a free mini mix from her new CD Crave – Club Edition here

I know that this is unrelated to fashion but it’s free. Plus, I did follow DJ Havana Brown before she was a recording artist

Universal music shares free downloads here and who doesn’t like free stuff? This is also a good way to find new artists that you may not have known about before.

Her Mini Mix is a short compilation or preview of what the CD showcases.

Also check out Get it featuring Lil Jon here

I like the beatz… Good dancing music! :)

Bellabox – April

20120501-221610.jpg

Subscribed to another Beauty Box – Bellabox. Was excited about choosing this service because of the brands on offer. I’ve got to say that I wasn’t overly impressed by what I received as I felt it didn’t take into consideration my beauty profile.

This is what I received:

I received some comvita facial samples which was ok because it’s an expensive brand. I also got a $2 Ulta3 nail polish in burnt orange which I already bought on a prior occasion. There was a DKNY perfume spray which is good for a quick carry spray to freshen up. The heel cushions would be worthwhile but I don’t really go clubbin that often to make full use of it. The benefit hello flawless foundation would have been perfect if they didn’t send me the darkest colour imaginable. The only item I could benefit from is the OP Therapy Body Hydrator which is a body cream for sensitive skin. It doesn’t have the most pleasant smell but is useful because I do get allergic reactions to some products.

I’m hoping this beauty box offers a better range for the month of May as my excitement was dampened by what I got sent. I looked online and found that some people would have received aromatherapy oils which I probably would have liked because I like filling my room with natural, calming scents.

I brought you this post so you could see what was inside and make a judgment on whether you would like it or not. Hopefully next month my beauty profile is taken into consideration when they send me products involving skin colour. Sorry if this seems like a rant but I guess I was expecting more quality when I subscribed to this brand. Will keep you updated once my new beauty box has arrived. Crossing my fingers that May brings some worthwhile products :)

Ciao!!

Freebies from Priceline

So, out shopping today for birthday presents but if you don’t know me very well, then you’ll find I do present shopping for myself at the same time :)

So I head into Priceline – for any international readers, it’s a Girly store that sells make up, perfume, toiletries, gifts, toothpaste, vitamins etc – and instantly I want to buy all the perfumes because they are all on sale! I tell myself NO! you are out buying presents… So I stop myself. This is extremely hard because I love perfume. I move on because I have to actually buy things that I need.

Head to the make-up counters and see Bourjois is offering a free gift if you spend $19. From what I could tell, the lowest priced item is $20 – to me this is instant winning!! I buy foundation because it’s something I wear everyday for work.

I purchase the flower perfection youth extension foundation as it seems to be the feature item on the wall. It comes with a washable sponge – awesome! It cost me $34. I was excited about the free gift because it came in this box:

When I opened it up it was wrapped in tissue paper. You know it’s good when it’s in tissue paper! So I received a rose exclusif lipgloss and volume glamour ultra curl mascara – worth approx $42. Coincidentally I receive a sample of the foundation i just bought. I’ve gotta say that the lipgloss is amazing! It’s a transparent gloss that self adjusts its pink colour when applied :) It also has a sweet scent kind of like candy rather than rose (but this could be my nose playing tricks one me)

This is what the products looked like:

Moving on from this counter, I randomly stumble upon a Hello Kitty counter! Say what now? A Hello Kitty counter!!

20120428-195916.jpg

So, they were offering a free body spray with any purchase – score!! I look thoroughly at each product. I felt that I already have too many eyeliners, eyeshadows and nail polish and don’t need powder or foundation, so I go for the lipgloss and lipsticks because I feel you can never have too many of those :D I buy a shimmery bright pink lipgloss and this amazingly outstanding pinky purple lipstick.

I believe the bright pinks are making a comeback. I used to wear pink lipstick all the time when I was about 8 years old and I thought I was the coolest but now since I know how to experiment with colours and not look like a nincompoop, it’s something I am excited at testing out. By making this purchase I received a melon body mist which smells amazingly fruity and fabulous. I think the products I bought are great to wear out for a Girly night and keeping it flirty and fun or if you just want to brighten up an outfit through your make-up. I’m all about the pinks in general.

If you don’t know me, then you’ll soon find out that I love Hello Kitty! It’s also because I’m Asian :)

If you’re out and about, be sure to look at the specials. Don’t be afraid to ask which items are on sale and see if you receive free gifts. I feel that if you love a brand or product and they offer free gifts, then you win because you gain products you wouldn’t have thought to try before and sort of save money at the same time as you have more products for one original price – well that’s how i see it anyway ;)

So girls head out to Priceline if you want to score some freebies with your purchases. Priceline never disappoints!!
