New Beginnings!

I use to rack my brains over every single word I write in my blog. I'm always over-cautious about the image that I build for myeslf, and too meticulous over expressing the details of my life. But well, I guess this isn't healthy. So I'm jumping ship from Diaryland (which has been part of my life for 6 years now) and starting afresh here!

Anyways, speaking of fresh, I just got my loot from sg.bestbuy-world.com today! It is an online store which has a wide range of beauty products and samples with unbelievable prices.

Here's what I've got from them:

1. Anna Sui Live Your Dream EDT (50ml) - $48

2. Diesel Fuel For Life Use With Caution EDP (7ml) - $9

3. Clinique All About Eyes (7mlx2) - $22

It is my first time buying from a online store and I must say that the service and products are amazing! They almost deliver to your doorstep the next business day, and the best thing is that it is cash on delivery, which is great for a card-less person like moi.

Believe it or not, it is also my first time purchasing perfume. Yes. I am 21 years old, female, and today I officially own my first(and second. hah, but that's just sample size) bottle of perfume. Why the delay? Well, perfumes aren't cheap for students who live on meagre allowance. But since I've worked hard during my internship and earned some extra pocket money, this is a treat I give to myself. =)

Anna Sui Live Your Dreams EDT

Just a quick review of my loot. I chose Anna Sui as my first bottle of perfume because I have tested it countless times in Sasa, in department stores, in DFS, and I loved their scents! Especially for the original Anna Sui and Dolly Girl Version. But I could never make up my mind to buy it because of its price tag (Yes, even $70 was considered expensive for me last time!). Now that I got the chance to buy it cheap online, I jumped at it.

So what's my evaluation? It is very sweet, with a refreshing lingering scent (Blah as you can see I'm no professional). Although somehow it evolves into this rather stingy note (I don't know if it is just me), which may be a little unpleasant. Nonetheless, after the sharpness wears off (after around 5 minutes), what stays behind is a warm and candy-floss-like sweetness, which is really girly and perfect for summer.

Diesel Fuel For Life Use With Caution - EDP (for female)

As for the Diesel one, I am definitely impressed. This is a scent with attitude. The initial bursts were very spicy, and almost menthol-like. It also has a slight tinge of cologne, which really adds character and edge to the smell. In fact, it was so powerful that I almost could not smell the Anna Sui scent on my right hand after sparying on Diesel on my left. This is something I would definitely wear on nights out.

Clinique All About Eyes Eye Cream

Well, as for the eye cream, you'd probably guessed it. It is my first bottle of eye cream too. (Thats many firsts today!) I've just tested it so the results won't be that quick. On a side note, I've accidentally rubbed some of the eye cream into my right eye, and now it is stinging a little. Nothing too painful, just irritating. But of course, I can't complain since this is really a silly mistake on my part. Hah.

Well, gotta start on my tutorials and readings!
