Happy New Year!!

I've been MIA for a few weeks as I'm currently in Malaysia. I must say this is a wonderful country--beautiful beaches, amazing rainforests, multiculturality, but most of all: SHOPPING! Shopping here is rediculously cheap. Food here is extremely cheap as well (for a chicken veg. curry you're looking at about 1$USD!!). They have pretty all the brands from America, Australia, UK and Europe here, which is quite nice. But most importantly, those brands are generally cheaper here than back home.

Having said that, I've made a few trips to MAC and drugstores. I recently purchased the Holiday lip gloss gift set, loved it so much I returned to secure another set. Pathetic, I know, but I really love them! I also purchased the 116 blush brush, which is quite nice, as well as the select cover spf 35 concealer. I was a little bit worried of this concealer as it is quite dry and concentrated. To my amazement, it doesn't crease much and it covers wonderfully under my eyes. It's also got a generous 7g, so it should last a while. As for drug store purchases, I got the L'Oreal telescopic clean mascara and a few Revlon varnishes as they are quite cheap here at about 3$ a piece.

KLCC Shopping Mall at Bottom of Petronas (I will add my own photos shortly :) )

White browsing through their amazing malls (the most beautiful I've seen: Pavillion and KLCC, which is at the bottom of the Petronas Towers), I saw about 100 hangbags I loved! haha Salvatore Ferragamo has quite a few nice ones, Chanel...oh Chanel, Gucci, Versace, Armani, LV, and remarkably Tod's has a nice model and I'm not a fan of Tod's. Oh one day I'm buying one of these high-end suckers! Maybe that should be my resolution: for every 3$ I save, one goes in a spending fund. That's not too bad is it? And, when I have enough I can buy the bag of my choice :)

I prefer the usual Telescopic Mascara to this "clean" version as this brush is quite rough and doesn't thicken my lashes much. But for now, this will do. I still love my Lancome Hypnose mascara the most...but wish it was cheaper :)

I had a lovely Christmas here in Malaysia with my boyfriend and his family. His family lives here so it was nice to experience the country through the eyes of locals. I wish I would live here with them! You can live quite well in Malaysia for not too much money. As soon as I'm back home, I will post photos so you can see how beautiful it is here!

I hope that you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you nothing but the best in all that matters: health, love, happiness, family. I don't think wealth means all that much unless you've got all these bases covered...but then again, some wealth allows me to purchase makeup...so I guess I'm somewhat wrong! haha
