2010 Book Fest Goodies

2010 Book Fest Goodies

 
RM500++ worth of goodies from the recent BookFest @ Malaysia 2010!

I’m like still recovering from the daze; i mean how can we have spent RM500 all on books?! I could have easily got a new Fossil leather bag for the same price.

But can get tax rebate right? Ok, never mind, i feel much better now when i think about the tax rebate. Breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out….
 


 

This year we had a great haul compared to last year which we only bout 2 sets of books. This year it was a bargain. Coincidently we bought equal amount (in height lar) of books.

See?
 


 

I didn’t know that the book fest is held from 4th Sept till 12 Sept 2010; i thought it ends in the weekend so we rushed there. It was worth it though. The ranges of English books were more than the previous years. There were bargain corners also where books were sold for only RM16.90. Awesome.

The boyfriend is a sucker for sets. He just can’t resist getting book sets. Obsessiveness is going to run in our family. Hmm…

Anyways he got 2 sets of books; one is the geeky set of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (5 in a set) and the other is a Chinese novel i don’t know what the title is (4 in a set). He also bought a stamp set for around RM150.

As for me, mine is the pile on the right. <3

Actually the books just cost us around RM400 if not for the stamp set that i don’t know why the bf absolutely must have. Never mind it’s his hard earn money so he is entitled to treat himself once in a while.

Breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out…

Origins A Perfect World™ White Tea Skin Guardian


Take a look at my skin analysis before you conclude on the product yeah :)

Origins A Perfect World™ White Tea Skin Guardian retails for RM180 (30ml) or RM225 (50ml) at the local Origins outlet.

It contains Boswellia, Mimosa, Orange & Bergamot and of course Silver Tip White Tea, all key ingredients to protect your skins from pollutants, stress and aging. White Tea Skin Guardian is an emulsion that creates a shield against environment aggressors and creates a barrier to banish signs of oxidation, deterioration and dehydration.

Basically it serves like a protective layer on your skin not as a moisturizer as some think it is.



It smells good and the skin definitely feels smooth and soft instantly after applying the emulsion. With the product on, the skin looks healthier and with less visible fine lines. Almost like a new layer of baby smooth skin.

However, i’m not too fond of this product because it doesn’t moisturize and doesn’t have SPF protection from the sun. I think it’s rather pricey since i can get other anti-oxidant range of product that serves also as a moisturizer for similar price.



Also, it says on the label that it’s to be used before moisturizer, under make-up or alone. After applying the White Tea Skin Guardian, i find that the make-up tends to become cakey. Concealer and foundation doesn’t blend well with the skin guardian.

Not one of my favorite products from Origins.
