Monday's Beauty Bits

A standalone Benefit counter is about to be opened in New Wing 1 Utama. When? I don't know. While I don't recommend buying products locally (order online!) it's still fun to have a counter handy to test products out, and I'm sure they'll run promos when the new counter is launched.

There's a show called "Stripped" that screens Sundays on E! and it goes behind the scenes for products. Two things I learnt are:

Cetaphil is pronounced see-tuh-fil not seh-tah-fil.

Girls who work at Clinique say they use DDML as a leave-in condi for hair. Anyone tried this?


Spotted at Sasa selective (2nd floor, new wing 1U) is gorgeous makeup range The Balm. PrettyB spotted their lovely eyeshadow palette, Shady Lady (RM120) and prices are quite reasonable with blushes for RM65 and concealers for RM55. No pics though. The geniuses who run sasa won't allow pics so no advertising for them. Morons. It's a shame when a store selling great products shoots itself in the foot by having terrifying salesgirls and idiotic management.

Does Sasa carry The Balm's Timebalm concealer too?

syen: i'm wondering when to budget it in. Dammit why is sasa so awful? Any other distributor I may approach on behalf of the blog.

Eli: yes that would be the RM55 concealers. Not bad. =D

ugh, I really dislike going to SASA. When I first saw The Balm, the SA was kinda pleasant though. I was lucky but wasn't intending to buy anything that day. hehe. ooh... they brought in the concealers. I only saw the palette and bronzer/blush.

haha. I've been pronouncing it as seh-tah-fil! I watch Stripped occasionally... when I actually have access to the TV T_T have you watched Glow before? same channel. kinda corny but at least it's dedicated to beauty. not many shows are!

I LOL-ed at seh-tah-fil. I'm pretty sure I pronounce it as seh-tuh-fil. I think. Hmm.
