loreal luxury warehouse sale

went to the highly anticipated loreal luxury warehouse sale last saturday. it was held for a day only compared to two days in previous years. maybe it was because the common loreal products warehouse sale was held two days before that. when i reached parkroyal hotel where the event was going to be held at 9.30am, there was already a long queue. the queue reached the side of the busy sultan ismail/bukit bintang road. then some idiot hotel guy instructed us to made several rows. this caused a slight commotion when some people argued they were behind the people who were previously behind them. when i finally got inside the hall, it was already about 11am. i just grabbed whatever attracted me so that i could sort them out later. there were perfumes, skin care products, make up both for guys and gals. after some deliberation and consideration on needs and budget, i finally made a purchase on these.

1. biotherm hydra-detox cream rm60
2. biotherm age fitness cream rm100
3. lancome neurowhite purifying foam rm60
4. lancome cleasing fluid for face and eyes rm80

some scenes of the mad rush




overall, there were pros and cons of this event.

i would recommend this event if:
1. you were looking for a good buy on normally pricey items
2. you din't mind standing for a long time
3. you wanted to try some new products
4. you din't mind getting sardined

don't even think to attend this event if:
1. you wanted everything you purchased to be in good condition. (as advertised, buy the items at your own risk. so you won't be able to get a refund. some of the products were expired as in my friend's case, she got a perfume which was unusable)
2. you had to open the packaging to get a good look on the product (during the event, the staff kept shouting to leave the packaging alone or buy them. i understood if the packaging was sealed or if the person tried the product but i just opened a perfume box (you know, the present-kind-of-box where the cover could just be lifted up) to get a peep but was screamed at. i didn't even lay a finger on the perfume bottles. what if the box was empty? if i decided to buy the perfume and found out the box was actually empty when i got home, won't it be too much? the fact that you couldn't get a refund made it even worse. to the caucasion lady who screamed at me, f*** you)
3. you expected some good service (i tell you the people who serviced biotherm and one guy at lancome foundation makeup counter sucks big time but kudos to the perfume and lancome skincare ones).

nilai - shopping haven

last saturday, went to nilai with family for a supposedly shopping spree. to those who are not aware, there is a place called Nilai 3 which is a shopping haven. there are nilai 1 and nilai 2 but they are not as well known as nilai 3.

nilai is located about 30km from kajang toll. there are sufficient signage to guide you to the place. however since this is my first time being there, i accidentally stopped at nilai pasar borong which sell veges, fish, meat and other groceries. after bought some veges and eggs, we moved on to the real 'nilai 3'. there are lots of stuff which can be found there. you can buy



handicrafts



mattresses



carpets/mats



furnitures


curtains



potteries


toys, car accessories, 'kain' and etc. the point is, whatever you have in mind, you can find it at nilai 3.

you can also get this



for late breakfast/early lunch we had roti canai. it's been a long time since i last had it.
