New Baby #2

My Net-A-Porter order arrived a day before I left Brussels for a business trip. I was tracking the parcel on the courier site every 30mins *lol* When I received the email notification from our office mailroom, I was thrilled!

It's carefully packed in this black box.



I really like the black bows. I didn't untie the ribbons because they're too pretty! I'm weird like that :)



Tadaaa... Here's my new MIU MIU Matelassé leather clutch.



Now I can't wait to carry this on a night out.

I just came back from Brussels yesterday and am dead tired. My certification exam is next week that means I only have 7 days to study! Now I've a second thought on doing MBA. I'm not sure how I can cope with studying and working full-time especially when my job requires me to travel.

A Year Older!

It was my birthday yesterday. Hubby took me shopping, massage and dinner. It was a relaxing day :) As usual, I bought myself another designer handbag for my birthday. How original can I be :D



Brought this baby home from LV yesterday. I've always wanted a Speedy 30 but whenever I was at LV, I always walked away with something else! I never knew I'd be in love with Damier Ebene until I bought my Neverful MM last year. Here it is... my new handbag!



It wasn't the only handbag I've received for my birthday this year. My sister gave me a Coach pouch and I've a MIU MIU clutch coming my way from Net-A-Porter :) Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow!

Will put up some pics when I'm back from the business trip next Thursday. I've so many things on my to-do-list. On the top of it is to prepare for my next certification exam in two weeks!

Holiday Haul + Feb Haul

DH and I went on a 2-week vacation in Asia recently. We came back with more than 40kg of stuffs in our luggages. They're mainly my stuffs, you bet! :) Am too lazy to take pictures of the clothes, shoes and Chinese magazines I've bought.



MAC
I found MAC Pearlglide Black Line and Lord It Up at a duty-free shop Frankfurt International Airport (that's where I found my backup for Petite Indulgence Cremesheen Glass last year). They were the last ones. I was really thrilled because Black Line has been my most used eyeliner since I got it last year. Lord It Up was sold out here before I had a chance to grab myself one. I love Pearlglide!

SK-II
Bought this the day before we came back. I paid around 87EUR for this one. I've never spent that much money on a single skin care product. I've been using it twice a day for a week now and I could see some improvement on my skin condition. I'll soon write a review on this product.

My Beauty Diary, My Scheming Beauty and Deary
I've read plenty of good reviews on these masks. Can't wait to try them.

Hair Stuffs
Liese Hair Cocktail, Juicy Shower and Lucido-L Designing Aqua which I use everyday when blow drying my hair. Good stuff.

Other stuffs I've bought are Shu Uemura Hard Formula brow pencil, falsies (Doll Lash and Kiss), Lip Ice lipbalm, fringe grips and some earrings from Diva.

I promised myself I would go on 'no buy' for a month after the vacaton but I couldn't resist the cosmetics sale here! I got myself two Chanel lipsticks - Rouge Allure (Adorable), Rouge Hydrabase (Rose Rebelle), Benefit Party Crasher and Escada Ocean Lounge (from summer 2009) that comes with a cosmetic pouch and 50ml body lotion.

I'm Still Here!

Happy Valentine's day, everyone! Hubby and I don't have any special plan for today. We just came back from Asia yesterday :) I think we'll have some candlelight dinner at home.

I know this blog has been really quiet... My 2011 started with hectic schedules at work. That's why I haven't had time to post anything here!

I've spent a great 2-week eating, shopping in Asia. I bought plenty of skin care products in Asia - I wish I lived there! :D Stay tuned for the upcoming entry!

Happy 2010!!

Happy New Year, everyone!!! Wishing you all the best in 2011 :)

Happy Holiday!

Wishing you all a happy holiday! :)

The Best Of 2010

I have had very good to terribly bad experiences with the skin care products and cosmetics I have bought/tried in 2010. Here are my 5 best products of 2010.

#1 - Clarisonic Mia
I've been using Mia for 2 months now. I've written a review earlier. My skin conditions has improved so much. I haven't had any breakouts except for one or two hormonal pimples on my chin. It makes my skin so smooth and my old acne brown spots are slowly fading.

#2 - Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser
The best cleanser. Hands down. It's so gentle to my sensitive skin. I use it with Mia everyday.

#3 - MAC Black Line Pearlglide Eyeliner
I can't get enough of this eyeliner. I'm addicted! It's so creamy, easy to glide on, waterproof and long-lasting. Oh, did I mention it's so easy to blend?

#4 - Make Up For Ever HD Foundation
My everyday foundation (shade 123). I've been using this since February this year. It doesn't clog my pores or break me out. I like foundation with medium coverage, this one works great on me.

#5 - Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara (waterproof)

My holy grail mascara. It doesn't crump, doesn't flake, waterproofed and it holds my curls until I remove it.

What are you 5 best products of 2010?

Christmas Is In The Air

Like most of the European countries, CZ is also experiencing unusual cold winter this year. I moved here in 2006 and have never seen so much snow in Prague before. It started snowing on 27 November. It came really early this year.

Hubby and I spent our weekend in Vienna. I've been to Vienna a few times before but was never there in winter. The Christmas markets are 'must-see' in Vienna. We went to the one in Rathausplatz where you get to see the infamous - heart tree. It's really.... cute! I tried taking photos of the tree but they turned out crappy. I only brought my 18-55mm lens with me and left the 55-200mm at home. I was too lazy to carry my camera bag.

We only spent around an hour at the Christmas market, got our punsch and langos, bought some cookies and we went to a restaurant for some Viennese cuisine. It was -8°C that evening. Brrr... cold!

Here are some of my favourite photos I've taken :) Enjoy!



It's really crowded there!


Lovely ornaments. The price started as low as 1€

I wish I could have bought one of these


My favourite shot - Rathausplatz


My punsch and langos.


2,40€/100g for these yummy cookies.

My First Asos Order

I've never bought anything from Asos before.I wear EU34 for the top but EU36 for trousers/skirts. Sometimes I fit into a pair of EU34 trousers for some brands but I've to wear EU36 for others (especially Zara and Mango). That's why it's always better for me to try the clothes on before buying them.

I finally made my first Asos purchase last week. I ordered a Ri2k bag and it arrived within a week! I've never heard of Ri2k before. It's a British designer brand. I was looking for a simple bag for everyday use, something not too expensive so that I won't feel sad when it's under the snow/rain and I found it on Asos. My designer bags are back in their dustbags for the season.

It is smaller than the Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM and is bigger than my other Coach tote. That makes it a perfect everyday bag for work.

There is plenty of room in the bag to hold my stuffs. The leather is really soft and the craftsmanship is good. The bag also comes with a detachable across body strap but I'm not sure if I'll ever use that. The retail price is £125.00 but it's on discount, so I paid only £64 for the bag and it's shipped free :) Asos is now offering free international shipping! The only disappointment I've is it doesn't come with a dustbag.
