Due to the recession (and my excessive spendings on junks) I have recently been trolling on the Internet to see if I can find products at a cheaper prices that can still satisfied my spending spree. Debenhams had some attractive offers lately with 25% off clothes and others products; and 10% off beauty products (why not 25%?!?). I know they start selling MAC products and was dying to get my hand on the MAC 219 pencil brush because the reviews seems optimistic about it. Oddly enough after typing in "MAC" in the search box, the result I got was the brush cleanser and one other item that I don't want. Feeling very down and wanting to get hold of that specific brush I decided to trek to Selfridges today and buy it.
... I think you can guess what's coming next... Yes! Somehow I managed to realised afterwards that Debenhams sell it 10% cheaper than other places. It means I could have saved £1.90 on the brush, except that I have already paid the full price for it.
Warning ladies (and gents), make sure you type in all relevant words on the search box and browse through all the shop online before deciding where to purchase the stuffs. Well at least I only paid full price for that one item...

Debenhams Exclusive: Passport to Posh eye kit... Have I seen you before?
I was browsing through the Debenhams website today looking at some make up and perfumes sections because they are doing 10% off offers on beauty products (and also doing some planning for Xmas pressies!) when I came across something very familiar... "Debenhams Exclusive: Passport to Posh eye kit" (http://m.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_123901005199_-1?breadcrumb=Home%7EBeauty accessed from mobile phone).
The name doesn't look familiar, however its content resembles the Xmas present I received last year, which was called "BENEFIT PRIMPCESS Travel Set Glamorous eye primping Kit", (available in amazon.co.uk if you're interested).
Not too sure if the kit I've got had been released in UK previously or not, and whether it is the same kit, but if so, I don't see why they should changed the name? I might pop in to the counter later on and have a browse to see if the shade is the same or not.
If it's the same kit then I must say it will make a lovely gift present.
I must admit I really like browsing beauty products during the Xmas periods since they usually promote those "all in one set" that include eyes, cheeks and lips products. These are fabulous for people starting to wear make up or as a travelling kit to minimise the luggage space. It is also economical comparing to buying the eyeshadow, blusters and lipsticks separately.
For the Primpcess kit (since I don't own the Posh eye kit, there's no point of me commenting on it), it is purely an eye kit where you get 3 eyeshadows (the darkest shade can be used as an eyeliner), a mascara, a crease less cream eyeshadow, bo-ing concealer, eye bright and 2 small applicators along with instruction booklet and a mirror.
The eyeshadows are very subtle and gives (in my opinion) a posh finish (maybe that's why they have change it's name?). The lightest shade look like a vanilla tone, the medium shade is like a brown-pink tone, and the darkest is a brown colour; this somehow reminded me of the Big Beautiful eye kit except less pinky tone overall. In my opinion it is more suitable for light to medium shade skin, but not too sure about darker skin tone.
The cream eyeshadow is used as a base colour, but I find that it doesn't stay well and creases quite quickly, so maybe an eye primer is needed to solve the problem?. The boi-ing is obviously used to cover under eye dark circles, however I don't really use it as I find the shade slightly too dark for my skin tones, and also because the concealer is hard to dig out. This is likely to be due to the kit is an old stock as the mascara was already dried up when I first tried on the kit, so no reviews on the mascara ;).
The eye bright is used on the brow bone and the inside of the eyes to emphasise it, not bad but have to make sure the lids are tightly closed afterwards to avoid the concealer and the eye bright starting to go hard. I will put some photos up soon to show you swatches of the colours in the kit.
Has anyone else used these kits before? If so, let me know what you think of it.

Buying 2 Winding paths for Smurfs Village game
I know some of you are trying to follow the tasks on the Smurf's Village game about buying 2 winding paths. I've figured it out and here it is:
- Go to the store and into the 'flower' icon and then scroll through the items until you see the path shown in the picture that cost about 175 coins (picture 1). To know its the right path you should also be able to see a small Smurf with the feather hat face on it as well (not shown cos I have already completed the task). The smurf should resemble the one in picture 2.
Hope this helps.
