Cheap and excellent black eyeshadow
Giddy Tiger over at Kaki Shopping asked me what I have found that is cheap and good, preferably for RM10 or under. Well, GT, I couldn’t come up with anything that I have found locally under RM10. There have been but I cannot come up with anything off hand.
However, one of the cheapest and best black eyeshadow I have used is by Milani Cosmetics, which isn’t found in Malaysia. The colour is Storm which is a dark black shadow with multi-coloured shimmer. Its really awesome.
This was purchased for me by a friend for about US$1.99 (RM6.80) so that puts it in the under US$10 and under RM10 category I guess 
And here is how I use black eyeshadow. If you or a friend has access to Milani cosmetics, grab Storm. Its cheap and excellent!

Name something you have bought that was worth every penny you spent, and add it to the list below. Feel free to spice it up with a photo or two. The catch is that the amount must not exceed 10 units in whatever currency you are using.
e.g. If you shop in Malaysia, list down something good you’ve bought for RM10 or less. If you shop in US, list down something you’ve purchased for US$10 or less.

When in Sarawak shop for Pottery
Sarawak, Malaysia’s largest state on Borneo island is famous for a couple of things – pepper, native handicraft and pottery. I was in Kuching, Sarawak over the weekend and was thrilled to pick up some carved pottery lamps which I’d been wanting for a long time.
Actually, the first lamp I wanted was a fat lamp for a table in my entrance foyer. Nice lamps cost a lot of money so while I was in Sarawak, I decided to shop for one. I did get one I really liked at a pottery factory. This lamp cost me RM63 for the base and RM29 for the shade. I’d seen a smaller version at a souvenir shop in the city centre going for RM89 just for the base alone.
And since I was there, I picked up another much larger one for RM177 total because I liked the look of it. I’m not quite sure where its going yet but hey, who knows when I’ll go back to Kuching right? 
So, if you are planning a trip to Sarawak, and you like picking up household stuff, try to get yourself to the pottery factories. Selection is awesome and so are the prices!
