Estee Lauder Staff Sale
Not my Estee Lauder Loot
Ok its that time of year when girls go crazy and queue outside hotel ballroom doors at 5am. I kid you not. If you can get your hands on an Estee Lauder Staff Sale invite, get it and be there at 5am or miss your turn in queue, or end up queuing for miles.
The last time I was there, the queue snaked right OUT of the building onto the road. THAT’S how popular the sale is. And why not? When you can get brands like Estee Lauder, Clinique, Bobbi Brown and MAC at CHEAP prices? This is a sale for “Staff” but its open to the public IF YOU CAN GET AN INVITE.
Will I be there? Not this year. I’ll be away.
But if you are going, have fun and bring lots of money!! 
Special Stila Eyeshadow Deal - must buy!
I love Stila eyeshadows. They are pigmented and soft and have lovely soft colours that suit most skin tones. Well, look at the great deal on Stila eyeshadows on Strawberrynet!
At a mere US$12 (RM39) for 2 eyeshadow pans in a cardboard case, I’d say its a STEAL! There are 3 sets available and all 3 look so good, I want them all 
You can just click the Buy button below if you are interested and it’ll take you straight to the site. If you get 3, you get an additional 5% off plus free shipping anywhere in the world so why not share the love and have your friends share in the deal?

Credit cards: Pay in full and enjoy 20 days interest free period
Have you been paying attention to your credit card statement recently? I noticed that in the past few statements that I received, there was some information about some new changes going on with all the banks issuing credit cards.
As credit cards are an important item to remember when going shopping, I thought I’d post up a reminder here.
Effective July 2008, if you pay your credit card bill in full on or before the due date, you will enjoy up to 20 days interest free period i.e. from the date you charged your card to the day your statement is issued for the month.
If it sounds like a familiar system, it is. It is what you have been enjoying ever since you owned that bit of plastic that you take shopping. I like playing with that 20 day period. It gives me time to “roll over” my finances for the period, sometimes up to 2 paychecks.
However, if you choose to pay only the minimum or part payment, you will be charged interest from the date of the transaction. Unless you make a big purchase, the interest won’t usually be bank breaking, but in the long run, it will all add up.
So, this is a good time to think about your finances and your personal spending limits. If you won’t be able to afford to pay off the whole bill at the end of the month then rethink your purchase.
Personally, I won’t be affected by this new ruling because I always make it a point to pay off my credit card bill in full at the end of the month. Its better for me not to own a particular item I can’t afford, than to be in debt for some material satisfaction.
So, note down your credit card payment due date and the total amount and make sure you pay your bill in full so you enjoy that 20 day interest free period! You can read the terms from the HSBC site here (PDF file)
