Elianto's beauty product and a story behind the missing palette

I was looking for a make up brush set the other day because my old ones is missing. I may have misplaced is somewhere when we were moving. *sigh. I love Beautilicious brushes so much and it's really worth it for only RM49! Now I couldn't find the same one at any Watson's. Raya is closer and I need the make up brushes pronto! (mind you I'm a sucker for a bargain. To me, good stuff + cheaper price = happy me! call me kedekut taik idung masin but that's me! :P

Anyway, about this Elianto. Well I've been their fan since few years ago. I started to love their eye shadows' palette (you know the rounded one?) that cost RM5-6 per colour? So I already had a few, in loose and just bought the casing few weeks back.

All together, this is what my catch from Elianto this month.

  • Make up brush set
  • Lip gloss
  • Eyeliner sharpener
  • Eye shadow's empty pallet
This brush set came with 2 sponges so you can like, use it with make up or powder.

1 set consists of 5 brushes : Lips, blusher, eyeshodows and err.. 2 more eyeshadows.

Actually there's a story behind this eye shadow's palette. You see, the eyeshadow were sold loose, one colour for RM5-6 right? So 3 weeks ago, I bought this palette, empty one (well they don't sell ones with eyeshadows) for RM14 I think. I can't remember exactly how much it costs. I bought it in Jusco, Midvalley. 

At that time, I was purchasing this palette and 1 eyeshadow and the promoter requested for me to pay at the counter first before taking the item. But when I returned after the payment. she somehow had misplaced my item and took another one from the display. I just checked the 1 eyeshadow I purchased to make sure it was the right colour  and didn't bother to check for the palette because obviously I've paid for empty ones.

But not until 1 week ago, when I finally had the time to take out the palette and decided to put my loose eyeshadow in it, to my surprise, the palette was not empty! There were 3 eyeshadow in it and I love them colours! I know they are not mine but it's not my fault that the promoter messed up the item right? I guess it's her loss my gain :) and I'm here in Penang! How on earth I could go back to KL just to return that? 

I haven't use it anyway. But it's totally fine right? (why am I feeling this guilt?) because technically, it's not mine. *sigh.

p/s : on another note, after few hours writing this entry, I've found my Beautilicious make up brushes! So I don't think I will be using this Elianto's. Maybe I would give it away huh? :D

Teringat dulu-dulu masa mula-mula start belajaq makeup. I start guna eye shadow Elianto yang RM5 tu. Hehe. I pun tak berapa nak splurge on makeup (except foundation).

Haaaaa apa kata u jual kat i makeup brush tu? Believe it or not, i tak dak set makeup brush langsung! Ada satu brush eye shadow ja.

salam k.ida,sorry no offence to interrupt ur interesting topic here. cume i once stopped by an elianto counter @ klcc. frankly speaking, most of the brushes are made out of something which is non-halal. i lupe ape but if x silap something related to ba-alif-ba-ya.
this happened when my friend nk beli brush for nail polisher. nearby ade lots of elianto makeup brushes & it clearly states with orange tags as NON-HALAL.
i cume nk share je. maybe yours of better quality & halal. but yeah...to me better to be safe than sorry. btol x? =]

::Ida:: said...

hi abby!
sure sure.. non taken! :) i value each and everyone opinion :)
really? i seriously didnt know about that at all! and didnt bother to ask ni bulu ape..
huhuhu.. luckily im not using this brush yet.. terjumpa balik pulak my old ones..
a lot of brushes made up from boar's. maybe next time i should be more careful with this.
thanks for the info dear :)

Hi Syikin!
Sorry dah lama tak jenguk this blog!
saya pon kurang pasti on the status. mungkin brushes boleh avoid. tapi make up wise should be ok rasanya.
