today's topic is *drum rolls*
Last Saturday I went to the newly revamped Tesco, ops now called Tesco Extra for the extra choices, extra services and extra facilities in Mutiara Damansara. It's just next to Curve, from Borders you can cut through to Tesco Extra. I was getting agitated for not being able to shop for a while and thought to myself why not I reward myself today? How about I try to buy some cosmetic products for under RM100? That’ll surely cure me. Man it wasn't easy with so many choices and varieties of brands and cosmetic products in Tesco! I took like 2 hours deciding which goodies I will buy! My post is filled with spy pictures of the new Tesco Extra so continue reading!
welcome to Tesco Extra!
feels like I at overseas supermarket
first thing I spotted is the apparel section
my mind filled with beach holidays suddenly
2 for RM18?! I was thinking to get them
saw these printed tops! went to try them
not bad on me! look thinner hehe!
heart this so much! heart with angel wings!
for the quirky fun owls
peacock bling for Deepavali?
Took a while before I get to the cosmetic section because the "bajus" at apparel section caught my attention! Next time I'm going to a beach getaway in Port Dickson or Pangkor, I can shop here. Colors and styles are casual and hip. Love the beach shorts 2 for RM18! . I couldn't resist not trying one of the tops "Love is in the Air" captioned across it. What would be perfect to complete my look would be to get this awesome costume jewelry to match! My top three picks would be the heart with angel wings, owl and peacock necklace. The price ranges from RM13.90 onwards.
finally I reach the cosmetic section!
men & women products can be found here
(skincare, cosmetic, grooming, hair, bath)
so my shopping hunt begins zeng zeng
(don't let the guard catch me please!)
I didn't know Tesco carried so many brands and choices of cosmetic and skincare. There are all my favorites here from bath to toiletries, cosmetics, skincare, grooming section and hair care. I found several awesome bath sponges and loofahs with long handles (Tesco brand) from only RM1.20 super cheap. I think when I'm making bridal shower gift baskets, I'll come back to get these items to add in. While I was browsing through the products, I found that Tesco Extra has the latest products on shelves! Products that I see in the magazine issues for November mostly can be found here. Check out the spy pics I took of the favorite brands I like!
Hada Labo products!!!
been itching to try their new cleansing oil
Montagne Jeunesse face masks
skincare brands - Aqualabel, Olay, Garnier, Loreal, Safi
cosmetic brands - Loreal, Revlon, Maybelline, Silky Girl
and lots more brands like Clean & Clear
Neutrogena one of the first early brands I used
(like when I was 11 years old already shopping!)
Sunplay SPF 80 PA+++ UV Body Mist
my favorite easy spray body sun block
oh I want to try these Sunplay sun blocks too!
for sunburns, you can use aloe vera to sooth your skin
Lip Smackers yay! in colorful & yummy flavors
(Frank collection available as well)
Biore one of the brands I trust :D
(I always use the pore pack)
should I restock this? hmmm
lots & lots of lip balm choices!
Biore Water Like Sensation? Jelly texture
this is new, never see before (should I buy?)
fruity jelly lip glosses? RM9.90 tempting
do they carry dessert rose color blusher?
(need a blusher, I think I'll get one)
Maybelline mascaras!!! famous mascara ahem
I couldn't decide what sort of theme I should buy, yes please don't laugh! I always need a theme shopping to match what I want to buy. Like if I'm going on a beach getaway I'll surely grab those beach shorts, comfortable loose tops and sun blocks! If I wanted to buy masks, there's Aqua Label, Loreal, Montagne Jeunesse, Hada Labo masks. Gosh what about lip balms? did u see my pics on the lip balms? I could get like 10 different lip balms for RM100 and review them.
Dear Diary, today I feel like it's Coconut Day, why not I put on the Lip Smackers Paul Frank coconut flavor? Bet it taste great with nasi lemak (JOKING DUN TRY).
Also I thought maybe I should get products for to do a fuss free makeover review on my blog. What magic products should be good for under RM100 for a complete makeover for a natural and flawless looking face? No drama or whatsoever needed for a rainy or casual day out. It'll be easy to remove at night too. This makes for a great getaway make up so I'll need sun block.
finally after 2 hours
SO here's my Fuss Free Face products you should get for under RM100 from Tesco Extra. To start one will always have the sun block at hand. I choose the Biore UV Aqua Water Jelly SPF 30 because okay I dig new things and this baby says it has water like sensation (awesome I love watery products). The texture is water jelly! (arghh sounds even more fantastic now). Sun protection is a must nowadays so a min. of SPF30 is good for indoor or outdoor for a few hours. Not for under blazing sun playing sports or building sandcastles on the beach. Must get the SPF50 - 80 for that.
what's in my Tesco Extra basket now?
Then comes the amazing all in one face cream to cover, brighten and even out your skin tone. Fuss free right? You don't need expert skills to use the Silky Girl B.B Cream. There are two shades available at Tesco Extra so I choose the natural one for a natural skin tone finish.
To add a pop of life to your face canvas, I'll go for the Maybelline Angelfit Blusher in dessert rose for a natural healthy glow. It comes with a blusher so it's real convenient to use. Why not lipstick or eye shadows? well I think fuss-free day out make up should be easy and natural. Instead of lipstick I choose two lip balms because I'd like to moisture my lips during make up rest days. The irresistible Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm in assorted flavors was my choice. I haven't tried this anywhere yet. My second lip balm was watermelon flavored from Lip Smackers. Quite surprised to find that Tesco Extra also sells Lip Smackers. They were once only available overseas.
yay mission accomplish!
