PrizeMail, Dinner Out and theBalm Replica/Fake Makeup??

So today I got one of the post office cards to get your packages.
I got excited. I thought my soaps from SoapyLuv arrived.

But it's not it :( I think the soaps will come this week. Hopefully.
Instead, I got my prizes from a recent Youtube giveaway.

So I went to get it with my sister. I actually forgot about how to get the things. I was sick too, still so my stuffy nose makes it difficult for me to speak or hear clearly.

I actually made a video. A rather awkward one because she asked if I would do a prize mail opening video :) and I was fine with it. I just dislike the fact that my voice sounded so nasally.

I'm quite excited about the nail art kit the most.

Here's a pic of the prizes:

Thank you for this, SakuraNailArts!

In other news, I had dinner out at Grazie Mauri the day before yesterday.

Chilled Cranberry Juice

 It's just boxed juice unfortunately, lol. I asked.

Pizza di Salumi?

 My sis ordered this one, she likes it very much I guess.
As for me, I love the one in this pic:

I forgot the name but basically it's blue cheese and some veggies.

 For my main dish, I ordered a beef fillet with mushroom sauce. It comes with veggies and potatoes. I asked for medium.

Looks yummy.

It came medium...or was it rare? LOL Didn't care.

 Unfortunately, the beef wasn't seasoned so it was bland and chewy. It actually hurt my teeth.
I brought it home, salted it, cooked it again with the sauce and BAM, tastes a whole lot better.

They need to somehow cook the sauce with the beef itself :/ so the flavours mix. Well, that's my own view on it anyway.

And then I had dessert.
I think for this dessert, my friends like it.

For me, it was just okay.
I can make something similar to this and it tastes even better.
Seriously.

But I do like the addition of the strawberries and the vanilla ice cream.

It wasn't as delectable as I expected it to be I guess.
High expectations met with mediocre results.

Fantasia di Maria

 But then again, I was sick that day.

Maybe it's my tastebuds BUT I could taste the pizza perfectly.

Anyway, I had my long lost froyo soulmate ( ;w; )
Mochi!!

Butterscotch with strawberry mochi and kitkat bits.

It was nice. The hint of butterscotch flavour and the sourness of the yogurt really comes through.
Unlike Tutti Frutti which really tastes like ice cream.

I should become a food critic.
Like, totally.

I wish I had the gall to actually comment to the chefs.

I went to Citis Square to visit the art exhibition by UBD students a.k.a some of my friends.
It was the last day.

I was underwhelmed when yeah, some of the works are just form 6 standard.
I guess it's not much of a loss if I don't take art as a major.

MAN, I wanna go abroad D:

Look of the day. Yesterday.

 My sis complains when I braid my hair.
Too childish??

I just used concealer + SPF-ed moisturizer.
No powder.

Today I went out without makeup.
Couldn't care less.

Just packed on sunscreen.

I ordered these but I ended up not eating them.

I've been losing appetite recently.

I guess it's because I'm sick.

I've been sick for a long time.

Longer than usual. It annoys me to no end.

Oh yeah, got this. No, actually, mom got me this.

I thought it was BND$16 something at first...turned out to be BND$23.

I just hate it when they don't label products properly at Guardian. I felt really bad to buy this actually.

Might as well label the price ON the product. Sheesh.

KP, go away!!

Yes, I have KP.

I applied this last night and I think it worked a bit.

Slowly.

I also had my sister paint my nails last night.

Yes, I'm holding a banana.

It looked pretty against my pink nails.

Got banana?

I HATED the nailpolishes.
I don't know why but it dries so slow.

And the white one from Etude House.

I don't recommend it to act as a base.
It's just impossible to work with.

OH YEAH.

I found out that theBalm Cosmetics has been replicated!!

Say what??

This bothers me because I haven't got my replacement from SaSa Malaysia.
And paranoia says DOUBLE CHECK it next time.

Just in case.
>_>; it hasn't arrived so it's not in stock yet.

But I do know that SaSa has been selling replica brushes that look like EcoTools too so...

Well, I doubt they would break the trust of the company (theBalm) by doing so but anything can happen. Thought theBalm never contacted me back when I emailed them. Phooey.

Hm.
In other words, I'm just worried.

But I'm also tempted to check the quality.
Maybe it'll pop out somewhere, someone getting this.

People do say some of the replica makeup are actually quite good.
Plus, if they actually say it's replica, it's up to the buyer to buy it or not, right?

Safer than eBay which sells replica makeup most of the time but people claim it to be real.

As for me, will I ever buy replica makeup?

If it looks cute.
LOL. Cute wins me over.

But in all honestly, theBalm Nude'Tude palette that I have is all buttery soft. And no, I didn't use it because I'm supposed to get a replacement.
I just cleaned the palette before SaSa Malaysia contacted me back.

It was so dirty :/

They also have Shady Lady Vol.3
I wonder if Meet Matt(e) will be next?

Who knows.
Just be careful when you buy theBalm palettes online next time!
Okay?

Okay.

I'm dizzy now.

Take care!!
