Thursday Birthday and Sunday Shopping
Published by Mel on Sunday, September 09, 2007 at 11:55 PMIt was Daddy's birthday last Thursday, 6 September 2007. We bought a teeny weeny little round chocolate mint cake that is just enough for one. Since Chow and Mom doesn't eat cake, we needed something that can be finished by 2 people. The cake was really cute and Daddy loved it. We gave him a year's supply of chocolate for his birthday :) Mom got Daddy a really special birthday present: a 2 week pilgramage to Jerusalem and Egypt. Dad was absolutely delighted with the present, which is really meaningful for him because of all the religious study he has been doing in tha pats 2 years!!!!
Sunday was a pretty special day. Clinique had some sort of makeup event whereby you get a free makeover. The makeup consultants will also give some makeup know-hows and participants will get to take home 2 free gifts: an eye cream and a lip gloss. Since the makeup, consultance and gifts were absolutely free I made an appointment for myself and Mom.
We had Daddy dropped us off at 3pm in Mid Valley Mall, and made our way to the Clinique show stand. It was set up in the North Court. There, we were ushered to our seats and had our makeup consultants work on us. My consultant wanted to know what was the eye shadow colour that I normally used. Hearing that I normally apply browns, nudes or pinks, she suggested that I try something new: Purple. I was a little apprehensive, but I tried it anyway just to humour her.
We spent 15 minutes. She applied makeup on half my face, and I was to apply on the other half under her instructions. Step-by-step, I learnt how to contour my eyes, use eye-liner and blusher and basically learnt all the things I that I had been doing so far, were wrong. Fantastic.
After our makeup was done, Mom and I took a brief picture and went to collect our free gifts. We were pretty happy with getting something for nothing!!!
Pretty gals?
Free eye cream and lip gloss for us!!We shopped for a little while more, and then stopped at Dome cafe for some coffee and tidbits while waiting for Daddy to pick us up.
Tea time at DomeWe went home for dinner. I ate sparingly because I had too much for tea time: Chocolate Espreski with Milk Chocolate CHUNKS in it! And some garlic bread. Mom was spoiling me! I am definitely putting on weight again!! Hurray!! Needless to say, I was too full to actually eat much for dinner after that!
I gave Chow a facial while watching CSI: NY. We started with apricot facial cleanser, followed by tea tree scrub to exfoliate his very rough skin. Then I applied a 2 minute herbal mask to improve the moisture level in his very dry skin. After the wash, I gave him a pampering 15 minute facial massage using some massage oil from San Francisco. He almost fell asleep!! The massage is supposed to help with the blood circulation and detoxify his face. Then I applied another mask, this time for pore cleansing, and left it on for 10 minutes. Finally, I applied eye cream, lotion and moisturiser. His was was really glowing after that! It was such a HUGE difference. He had smooth, moist skin and looked 5 years younger!
It was a nice weekend :D
