New Shipments

Hi everyone,

Sorry I've been missing for a bit. I've been extremely busy lately but now I have some time to myself so I will be making some orders this week.

So you can expect a shipment of Lipocils & Ojon coming in hopefully by end of the month or early March.

I will also place the Sigma order soon. I'll be ordering a few custom orders and also some extra full sets and travel kits. Let me know if you want to place an order - by sms or by email.

Lastly, enjoy your long weekend!

Tenderly Touch Spa - Pick Up Point

Haul and Sigma Batch 2 now open for bookings!

Hi ladies,

I have a few orders already for the 2nd batch of Sigma brushes, so if you're interested please send me an email or text. It would most probably be for next month arrival. :)

So quite a few of you have been asking what I bought when I was in London so here's a list. If you'd like more info on any of the products just give me a shout out.

Mac Eyeshadow in Wedge

Mac Technakohl (sp?) in Graphblack and Brownborder

Mac brushes in 109 and 134

Mac Paintpot in Painterly

Mac Gel liner in Dipdown

Mac Lipsticks in Viva Glam V and Honeylove

MaxFactor Flase Lash Effect Mascara

Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in Dolly Pink

Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick in Amber Rose

Barry M Glossy Tube in No 2

Gosh Darling lipstick

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser in Nude

Urban Decay Brow Box in Brown Sugar

Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow in Scratch

Illamasqua blush in Lover

And a few things from Soap & Glory, Lush and I have to say I love the Botanics Soothing Eye Make Up remover. It just removes EVERYTHING in one swipe. Ive never used a eye make up remover like it. I bought 2 bottles of it haha.

Okay listing everything out is an equivalent of a confession to being a makeup addict! :s I think that's all I bought, I might have missed out a few things...

I also finally received my NYX blush in Expresso and Rouge Cream blush in Glow. I have to say Im in love with Expresso. The colour looked so dark in the pictures and also in the pan but on my face it's lurrrvely. My fave guru lollipop26 wrote about in her blog and I HAD to try it and Im glad I did.

That's all for now~

Update!

Just a short post to update you ladies on a few things.

- The Sigma brushes are here! =)

- I no longer bring in the Eyeko mascara due to a price increase.

And also I have make up palettes for immediate sale. I have a few of the matte and shimmer palettes so if you're interested do send me a text or email.

Happy New Year!

Hi everyone! Im back in Brunei but I have the worst fever/flu/cough. =( I didnt get online very much while I was in the UK so apologies if it's taken me a while to reply your emails/texts etc.

This is just a notice that I will no longer be able to bring in Enjoy products because I haven't been able to contact the supplier.

I'll post again once I feel better. I did manage to buy a few things while I was in the UK so maybe my next post will be a review.

Makeup Brushes - Essence of Beauty & Sigma

The Essence of Beauty brushes have arrived and I have 2 sets extra available for both the 3 Duo set and the smokey-wide.

As for the Sigma brushes, I have enough orders already so will only be accepting orders for the 1st batch until the 15th of Dec. Anything after that will go in the 2nd batch orders.

Delay, Sigma & Lipocils Update

Hi ladies!

Just an update for those waiting for their Essence of Beauty brushes. They should be arriving soon - the delay was due to the Thanksgiving break so I'm told.

As for the Sigma brushes update, I still need about 4 more orders before I can send off the order to Sigma. So this will most probably only happen by January.

Lipocils~ I still have 5 more for immediate purchase. Don't know what Lipocils is? It is an eyelash conditioning gel that helps to promote growth and strengthen your lashes. So you end up with healthier, longer and stronger eyelashes. So far I've not had a single customer complaint, so cheers to a great find that not only worked for me but for you girls as well! To the next great find!

Review #2

A review on Ojon by Liza~

"I started using Ojon over two months ago and its the best thing ever for my hair.

I've got long thin hair, with super frizzy ends due to a perm I had a couple of months ago. My hair can be classified as damaged as I do lots of colouring, straightening, curling and what not. If I don't make an effort in the mornings, I literally look like the bride of frankenstein.

I've read so many testimonials about Ojon online and most users say that you will need to leave it in for a while. I took a risk and actually slept in it over night. All you need is a small amount anyway. Just as a word of caution, I'm used to sleeping in curlers so I've got a high tolerance for discomfort.

And the next day after shampooing and conditioner (I use redken's all soft line), my hair was smoother and texture was definitely better than its been in a long time."

Lipocils 6th shipment & Update

The 6th shipment has arrived! I still have 7 more available for immediate purchase. =) You know how to contact me if you're interested.

I will be traveling at the end of December so this will most probably be my last Lipocils shipment for the year. The next one will be in early January. Keep your orders/bookings coming so I know how much to order for Jan.

For those waiting for your brushes and make up palettes, they should be arriving by the last week of November, will contact you the day they arrive.

Im still taking orders for brushes, make up palettes and Enjoy S&C. As you know for Enjoy the last date to order for the 2nd shipment is the 28th and for the rest - last dates for order for arrivals in December will be the 5th of December. Any orders I receive after that will be for shipments arriving in January.

Have a nice week and a happy long weekend!

<3

P/s: For orders please email me or text me because I do need a record of the order in the form of at least an email or an sms. :)

Enjoy

Hi ladies!

Last date to order any Enjoy shampoo and conditioner for the 2nd shipment will be the 28th of November. Thank you and have a nice weekend!

Review #1

Melda - "Now for those girls who don't feel like they have great lashes, here is what can do for you..Go to buy TALIKA LIPOSILS FROM theAnstore..
0MG!! it really re-grows my lashes!! i swear it is a great lash conditioner i've ever tried..EVER!! i promise!!... I put it on my upper n lower lash line and after a week, my lashes feel and look longer and thicker. Would definitely recommend!!"

Thank You!

A big thank you to all my customers! Without you spreading the word about my site and being such great customers, the AN store wouldn't be what it is today.

To show my appreciation, I have discounts (5% off for Lipocils and 10% any other product - does not apply to custom orders) to give away to the 1st 5 customers who send me an email. You can use the discounts for your own purchase or you can give it to a friend.

What you need to write in your email

- A short review on the product/s (e.g. Lipocils, Ojon) you purchased from the AN store. (you may remain anonymous or use an alias if you wish)

Simple as that. =)

The reason why I'm asking for reviews from you my customers is because I know I personally always Google for reviews on products before I buy anything. I've had texts and calls telling me how much you all love the products you've bought from me and so I'd love to share your reviews with others as well.

Enjoy Shampoo & Conditioner

Hi ladies,

P/s: So I finished my Hydrating S&C and now on my Luxury S&C. I am so in love with my hair now, you have no idea. Bad hair days be gone. (Although that doesn't mean lazy hair days a.k.a. messy hair bun days are gone. :p) Til death do us part Ojon & Sulfate free shampoos!

Announcement

Hi ladies.. I still have uncollected Lipocils from the 1st and 2nd batch.. Hopefully you will be able to collect your orders soon, if you're not able to or would like to cancel, do let me know as I have customers on waiting list.. Thank you! :)

Essence of Beauty

3 Duo Brushes

Blending & Eyeshadow
Blush & Powder
Foundation & Conceal

Unbelievably soft, good quality brushes. I especially love the blush brush. You can get these 3 brushes for BND$30 + BND$5 shipping (from USA). 6 uses, so about $6 each brush, compared to a MAC brush for $50?

Dual Brush aka Smokey Wide + Crease Brush

I have been searching for this brush ever since I heard lollipop26 (my fave guru on youTube) talking about it and using it and I finally found it! You use the wide side to apply your main lid colour and then you can use the other end for crease and I also use it to line to my lower lash line with shadow. L-O-V-E it.

If you'd like to order it, it's BND$15 + BND$5 shipping. I only have 5 available for pre-order for the 1st batch.

Alternative to MAC Brushes

Hello ladies! I just back from Singapore today so here's the requested post on make up brushes by zeezee. :)

So I bought my 3rd MAC brush when I was in Singapore and boy.. was I surprised. My 1st and 2nd MAC brushes were from UK and I never did convert the price into Brunei dollars... so the 3rd brush which is my 290 (?) was over BND50. So I was shocked.

For the past few months Ive been trying out different brushes, Jemma Kid, Bare Minerals and now Essence of Beauty. I must say Im in love with the Essence of Beauty brushes especially the Smokey Wide + Crease brush and also the duo brushes. The brushes are super soft and they do the job well and best of all? They're cheap! If you're interested in ordering Essence of Beauty, I'm in the process of getting the prices so will update you ladies once I have them.

There are some other brushes out there like the Sigma brushes and the CS brushes as well but since Ive never personally tried them I cant really comment. Might be ordering some Sigma brushes soon, will let u know once I have them.

Alternatively check out youTube, there are tons of gurus reviews on brushes as well. Let me know if you have any questions or even other requests.

xoxo

Eyeko Mascara

Here's the price if you'd like me to order it for you. It will take about 2 weeks to arrive.

BND18 + BND2 (custom tax & service charge)

Special for my regular customers: If you have bought from me before for e.g. you have bought Lipocils/Ojon from me - I wont charge you the BND2. :)

AN Product Review #2

Hi ladies! In this post I'll be talking about the Eyeko Mascara and Urban Decay Primer Potion.

First up the Eyeko mascara. I love the tube!! I find it so unique that you can actually squeeze ur mascara and actually know how much you have left. The mascara wand however gets some getting used to for me because it is different. But boy does it lengthen! It's crazy how long my lashes are when I use this and it really is VERY black which I love. I love my Loreal Voluminous for giving me volume and Im loving this for length. One thing I dont like is taking it off. You really have to get into your lashes to make sure every last bit of it comes out but it's like that for my Voluminous too. Small price to pay for the effect it gives. You can check out Gemma and Selby's videos on the mascara as well to see how it looks when they use it.

Urban Decay Primer Potion also known as UDPP. Some of you may already know about this but I only found out about this early this year. I have trouble getting my eyeshadow to stay on throughout the day so when I saw on youTube that there was this product, I ordered it straight away. What it does is help your eyeshadow stay on longer and also for me I notice that the colour of the eyeshadow is nicer when I put in on top the UDPP. How do you use it? Just put a small amount on your lids and rub it in and let it dry. Then put on your eye make up. And wa-la! Longer lasting eyeshadow and check out the difference in the colour as well. I think it looks just that much better with the UDPP.

Skin Products - Oily Skin

I was requested to do a recommendation on skin products for oily skin. Unfortunately because I have dry skin, this is not based on my personal use but more on a general 'what Ive heard' kinda of thing. Try it out and let me know if it works for you and for those of you who have recommendations please share with us as well. :) These products are both drug store products.

Skin cleanser/mask - Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2 in 1

This is one Ive heard about on youTube a lot. It's 2 in 1 meaning you can use it for a cleanser and if you leave it on for a bit longer before rinsing it off, it works as a face mask. Its good for oily skin and those prone to breakouts. Unfortunately this isn't available in Brunei. If you wanna give this a try let me know and I can try and get it for you. Actually Ive heard a lot about Neutrogena Deep Clean Cleanser as well which is oil free so that's worth checking out as well.

St Ives Apricot Scrub

This is a great scrub that is available in Brunei both in Guardian and Winmark and they have many types for different skin types. I do recommend exfoliating at least once to twice a week to get rid of any dead skin cells and to help maintain clean pores. This will help with all types of skin.

Apart from these it does depend on yourself individually most of all. Like for some people brands like the Body Shop work for them however for me my skin has an allergic reation so not everything that works for other people is going to work for you.

Most importantly, you really need to know what skin type you have. To know what type of skin you really do have, this is a good test. Wash your face with your facial wash, dry it and then leave it like that for about 5 minutes. Does your skin feel tight? Then you have dry skin like me. If you dont moisturise your face properly, your face will produce oil to compensate for the dehydration so that's one thing to keep in mind.

If you have oily skin make sure to use oil-free products only for your face as well.

For higher end brands I do recommend Dermalogica! Its a great brand and if you go for face mapping they can help you find the best products for your face. It is a bit pricey but I do believe in the long run it is worth it. I believe there are a few places in Brunei that do have Dermalogica products, there's one in Kiulap (not too sure where) and there's one in Gadong (same row with Pizza Hut).

Sorry guys that's all I can share, hope that helps! :)

Make Up Palettes

I thought Id share this with you ladies as well. Last month I bought a palette and 2 gel liners and I was amazed at the quality for the price. Because Im still experimenting with eye shadows and what colours suit me and my eye colour, I decided to get the palette to play around with before I invest in MAC or Nars eyeshadows. I was pleasantly surprised that all the reviews I saw on youTube were actually true! Eventhough the palette is relatively cheap considering how many colours you get, the quality is still very good. The colours are very pigmented and easy to blend and work with and because I bought this particular palette I was able to play with colours as well. I used colours for Raya to match my outfits and it turned out pretty nice. :)

Let me know if you ladies would like me to order a palette for you. They have it in a few ranges so let me know which ones you're interested in. These are exactly the same like Coastal Scents palettes except that it's from a different store and it's slightly cheaper. So do a search on youTube and you can see swatches and tutorials as well! You can even go to the Coastal Scents websites to have a look. :)

(88 piece eyeshadow set)
