Another Surprise In The Mail

Guess what came in the mail today?

When I wrote about the Ipanema sandals I bought a few weeks ago, the good people at Ipanema UK saw the entry, and very kindly offered me a voucher for a complimentary pair of Ipanema flip-flops!

This was retailed at 16.99 pounds, and I got it for free. I had to pay a minimal postage and handling fee though (too bad I don’t live in the UK. Or else it’d really be free). Okay okay, so technically, it wasn’t free. I couldn’t recall the exact amount I paid for postage, but I know it came up to a lot less than the price of the similar flip-flops sold in Australia and Malaysia.

And oh my goodness, this is even more comfortable than the original pair I own. Granted, it is a pair of flip-flops, so it makes that flippetty-floppetyy sound when you walk, but I find it so pretty. Too bad the weather’s all wet and cold now, and wouldn’t be able to use this much. Oh well, just got to wait for summer then.

Thank you, Ipanema UK people! You guys certainly made my cold, wet and gloomy day.

Oh dear, that sucks. Try Novo at Bangsar Shopping Village II? Paris got hers there.

Constantly Dramatic One:
GREAT! Do it. Then I have an extra beauty blog to read :p

Sesame:
Oh do write about it! Would love to see what you’ve got.

Paris:
Mine wasn’t a review either, just to show off my new pair after reading Kimberlycun’s post on it. Hehehe :p

Faux Fashionista:
Don’t they have this in the US? If so, you can get it there what

Askmewhats:
Aww thanks. To be honest, I was very surprised too. Really didn’t expect them to write me, much less to offer me a complimentary pair of slippers. And I wasn’t even actually reviewing my pair of sandals too. Indeed blessed
