[Haul] Ralph Lauren, Dior, Random Jewelry, and LANEIGE

Hey everyone! As I promised, I'm posting my haul for Ralph Lauren, Dior, LANEIGE and random jewelry I purchased today.

As for the reviews, I'll try out Dior & LANEIGE products to provide you with accurate advice and thoughts. Until then, enjoy my today's haul :)

Ralph Lauren 

( The Big Pony Collection )

I exchanged two Ralph Lauren Polo Shirts for my dad and my brother, Philip.

Last week, I bought one in Navy and one in Burgundy but changed Navy to Burgundy because my dad favoured my brother's Burgundy better..... (too bad I couldn't show you the Navy one :( ) I think he loves it !

This was the Burgundy one :) I believe this is one of The Big Pony Collection but wasn't sure because I couldn't find this one on their American website. 

Dior 

If you were keeping in track of my previous posts, I never wore nail polishes. However, Dior moved my heart with their Blue Tie Collection (limited) and Dior moved my heart once again with another nail polish.

This is Dior Vernis 545 Psychedelic Orange. I thought it was coral-coloured nail polish but it turned out to have more cool pink shade to it. I still love it anyway. As you can tell, I wore it on the left and right bottom corner and I think it looks beaaaaaautiful. I just hoped that this was a coral-coloured nail polish though...

This one is Dior Addict Lip Glow Colour Reviver Balm. I was lucky enough to get one of the last two that was left in the Department Store :) It is a lip glow reviver balm but pay attention to the word "colour". I tried it out and it not only moisturizes your lips but it also works as tint. 

I really have to confess : I love Dior perfumes.

The last time I went to Dior, this lady kindly asked me to test Dior Addict to Life on my arm and I sniffed my arm non-stop (I know, I looked like an idiot). Yet, whatever the case is, this perfume was the reason why I visited Dior.  

This perfume is just amazing. According to Fragrantica, 

this was the June 2011's new edition of the original Dior Addict perfume. 

Very floral, the composition begins with pomegranate, raspberry and peach. The heart tones of rose, jasmine, and lily are followed by the base of cedar and white musk (source). 

It is my absolute favourite and I'm wearing it right now although I'm home alone. Tee hee!

And are you excited to see the gifts I received?

OHEMGEE. If you can find any Dior stores that give this amount of samples, PLEASE let me know which one it is, because I haven't seen any. The very bottom thing in plastic bag is a small pouch that came along with the samples.

I didn't find this pouch stunning but I find it usable :( I thought it was very small and narrow but it could keep all the samples I received from Dior. 

These are the samples I received.... Don't you just LOVE the miniature of Miss Dior Cherie? I just fell in love with it.

As I said, I'll try each sample one by one so please keep in touch :)

Jewelry from God-Knows-Where

This was one marvelous ring. The design, although it looks crazily complicated, is very simple. It has diamond-shaped plastic (I think) in the middle metal chained surrounding the plastic. However, it looks very delicate and beautiful. 

I SWEAR I've seen such design before! I HAVE SEEN THIS PAIR OF EARRINGS BEFORE! ....but whatever the case is, this is gorgeous. The tear-shaped stone really sets up the mood while surrounding synthetic diamonds accentuate elegance. I would wear this for formal parties. This was absolutely gorgeous and couldn't pass by. 

I already had an Eiffel Tower necklace from France but I HAD to purchase this one because it had a mini-Eiffel Tower! ...besides, I don't mind another Eiffel Tower necklace. I think I'll never get bored of collecting Eiffel Tower necklaces. 

I thought this was freaky because of the film "The Fourth Kind" but I still bought it anyway because I couldn't pass by THIS BABY.....unless.. it gives me nightmares... 

Random Clothes...

I bought these from random places I don't even remember of....

I complained about how the top part of the dress on the right is see-through and the gentleman there said "you can work it!" in English. I thanked him back in English but I have no idea how.   

LANEIGE

Again, I'll show you the reason why you have to buy cosmetics in Korea. I only bought $25 lotion and I received that many samples. 

The lady there just grabbed a handful amount of samples and just dumped it in the paper bag.......... I think those samples will equal my $25 lotion hehe :D

That's it for my today's haul :) 
I hope you enjoyed it and please leave comments below or follow me on twitter @CDistrict900212! Thanks for reading!

[Haul/Review Preview] Can We Ever Say "Enough" to Dior ?

Well, I'll do my haul either today or tomorrow but here's some sneak peek of what I bought today :)

 

( I didn't get more Ralph Lauren :( It was just that my dad didn't like navy + it was too tight for him so I went to get the sizes and colour changed... my gift for hard-working daddy and hard-working bro ! )

I only bought three items including a perfume and this lady @ Dior was generous enough to give me a pouch + extreme amount of samples! Seriously, if you are thinking of buying cosmetics, come to Korea because they always give a LOT of samples. If you ask, they'll give you one or two more :) (you have to buy certain amount of items in order to ask though) 

More jewelry coming up sooooooooooooon :)

And LANEIGE lotion :) 




I'll post my haul first and then review, so that I can try out some of the Dior/LANEIGE products  in order to give you my personal opinion!

[Food for Thought] God is Forbidding Me From Going to the Mall...

It has been raining non-stop in Korea and I'm stuck at home rather than going to  mall to exchange the sizes of my Ralph Lauren gifts (they turned out to be extremely tight to my skinny daddy) OR buying a Dior perfume :).....ohemgee.

[Review] Jewelries: Swarovski, JEWLIX and Accessorize

Whenever I think of Audrey Hepburn, I picture her as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's. Having an up-do hair with a beautiful tiara, she matches a black dress with her signature pearl necklace. 


I know Breakfast at Tiffany's was a great film, but nevertheless, the film could not exist without these beautiful jewelries. Although not everyone can afford a Tiffany, Hapburn demonstrates woman's desire for jewelries.


And it still continues. we can never have enough.




'Kay, let's forget about this fancy intro and see the jewelries I bought in Korea.
(Disclaimer: these are what I bought in a day + a gift so this will not be a huuuuge review as you may want it to be.)








Accessorize (Necklace):

Two cute necklaces came into my sight when I entered Accessorize. This "Keepsake Bag Necklace" (don't really know what it's really called) is cute. I really cannot find a better word than this (what an English Specialist, eh?) It looks perfectly adorable! I think you can code this with a plan V-neck T-shirt (preferably black or white) and skinny jean :).








Accessorize (Necklace II):

I don't know what this necklace is called but this vintage telephone necklace is sooooo adorable! I'm thinking of giving this to my friend as a souvenir :)








Accessorize (Ring):

 

Here's my rinnnnnng :) I first thought it was waaaaaaaaaay too big for me but it looks really classy when you try it on. Although the pink gemstone-lookin' plastic in the centre looks quite cheap, pearls in the petal-shaped (or sunlight-shaped I guess?) metal makes this ring look cute and classy.  

This was the ring itself also has its unique design (really hard to describe what it looks like). I reaaaaaaally love it! I think I would've bought the ring even if it didn't have the gemstone-looking plastic and pearls.  

Swarovski (Tinker Bell Dangling Earring):

Here comes Swarovski :) I own necklaces from Swarovski but this was my first pair of earrings from them. This was a gift from my cousin and they are called Tinker Bell Dangling Earring. 

 

( It says 'Disney' at the back )

Aren't they adorable? They look like "Tinker Bell spreading the magic of her star dust" (according to Swarovski), made with Aurora Borealis and clear crystals. They look quite attractive as they demonstrate the contrast between their white colour and my black hair but I think they will work for the lighter hair colours too since the Aurora Borealis and crystal really attract surrounding lights and capture people's attention. 

 

JEWLIX (Earring):

JEWLIX is not a famous jewelry shop but it is just one of the brands this store I visited has owned... but who cares? Earrings look perefctly amazing nevertheless. The centre, as you see, has pearl with a mini tiara on top. In case you haven't seen my explanation about JEWLIX from "Review Preview",  the pair looks like a faceless princess with tiara :$ don't you agree? 

I usually wear dangling earrings but I think these suit for any occasions from formal parties to casual coffee dates. I think the pair is worth more than $29. I loved the price and I loved the quality.

JEWLIX (Earring):

This pair of earrings is shaped as Mickey Mouse....again, faceless. Like I said in my Review Preview, I think I'm addicted to these weirdly faceless earrings (I'm seriously kidding, don't take it seriously!) Back to our topic, I love these earrings because of their simplicity. You can match them with any non-formal occasion :)   

And... my review...is done ! I was going to create a video out of the these jewelries but my battery died.... fail... I'll try to do a video review for my next post :)
