First Half of 2017 - New Buys & Fav Products

5/17/2017 08:00:00 pm

Hey y'all! I would like to share on what makeup products I had purchased when I was back in Malaysia last summer and lovin' it! I wasn't going on any major hunting session to find the perfect makeup product to try and buy. And of course, I did not go through any research on searching what products is the most worth it to buy and which is suitable for me. 
To summarise it all, I definitely bought these products spontaneously! 
 Blush: Nars - Bumpy Ride 
Lipstick: M.A.C. - Brave 
 M.A.C. is a brand that I always look up to and never have the guts to even go in to the store to try it out. As I'm sure all you beauty peeps out there knows, M.A.C. employees are not the best at customer service which also equals to me not being brave enough to step into the store to look around. Also it's interior is just so slick and mature that I feel like I am not suitable to be in there. 
 'But how did you even manage to buy a lipstick from M.A.C.?' you would ask. 
I was doing a favour for my cousin to buy a M.A.C. lipstick, as it was cheaper my M'sia than in Aussie. So, I did it. Finally first step into the store, and 'WHAO!!' The choices of colours for the lipsticks range are endless! 
Anyway, I'd picked up the lipstick for my cousin. I was with my mom at the time, so my mom was like, would you like one? I was like nah, I wasn't really into lipsticks. (Because they tend to dry off your lips, not fun) Of course, my mom said 'I know you want one, which one do you want?' 
I have no idea, and the salesperson was like expecting you to know all the names of their well-known lipsticks. I was clueless. In the end, the salesperson picked this deep nude colour with a pink/red base - 'Brave' and I love it! It brightens up my whole makeup look. Especially that I'm fair, and don't really put much makeup on everyday, it's perfect! 
I bought it without reading the any reviews about M.A.C. lipsticks, but I know for sure that my cousin loves it, and she owns a few of them already. Also hearing from many people saying how pretty the lip colours are. 
The lipstick doesn't dry up your lips as much as I thought, but it is best to put a layer of lip balm before putting on your lipstick. The colour stays on in a decent amount of hours. It does transfer [bummer], so it's best to bring the lipstick with you. The packaging is small enough, so that you can reapply when you are out and about. 
NARS is also another brand that I love and admire, but never own one before. My first encounter with NARS is when my mom wants a blush and foundation. So, I recommended her to this brand. 
Also, due to the fact I have to help my cousin buy some makeup. I drop by NARS for a sec just to look around. Mom on the other hand said that she wants a new foundation. Which also reminds me that I would like to have a blush. 
And of course, NARS is well-known for its Blush - Orgasm.
My mom owns one of it, and I was planning to get one for myself, so that I don't have to sneak in to my mom's vanity just to use it. Then, the salesperson recommended me this new shade for the S/S season, called Bumpy Ride. 
Pink base, really pigmented. I love it! 
Though it doesn't have the gold glitter like Orgasm, but its fine. I love this shade! It gives my face a healthy flush look, and I received quite a few compliments from it whenever I wear it. 

That's it for my Fav products! 
Till next time x

Floral Playsuit #OOTD

3/13/2017 02:16:00 pm

Hey peeps!

Finally, a new post!
We are already in March! How time flies.

I'm finally done with my internship.
Yay!!

And now, I'm sure you guys can see that I had made 'some' (HUGE) changes with the layout of my blog.
I'm happy with it so far.
Still left the header where I need to redesign it. (That one is just a temporary)
And also thanks to my bro with the technical stuff.

I bought this ValleyGirl playsuit when I was in the land of Koalas and Kangaroos.
I fell in love with it immediately.


It's actually an off-shoulder playsuit, but I'm still not really confident to pull off the off-shoulder look yet.
Hence, I decided to wear the sleeves up.
Also, the middle part of the playsuit is crochet, and is see through.
So I decided to wear an inner-wear, to not show anything unnecessary.


I wore this on the first day of CNY 2017, is for a church CNY service.
I wanted to look put together and still want to be comfortable all day.
Thus, I paired my whole outfit with a comfortable pair of brown heels from NEXT.

I've been a busy bee these few weeks.
Been packing my luggage to go to Sydney, Aus to continue on my studies!
Will see you guys soon!



Love Me!!! XOXO 💕💕💕💕

Base Makeup Box Review│Althea Box

1/31/2017 11:27:00 am

Hey girls! 

Finally another post right? 
It's been a while. 
This post took me quite longer than I thought to try out every product.
And also with CNY and doing my internship this month. The whole month has been busy.  
But I did it! (With some help of my friends too) 

So, I received a 'Base Makeup Box' from Althea to try out and do a review on it. 

What's an Althea Box? 
They're curated specially by the Althea Korean Team back in Seoul. Each month, Althea will release 3 beauty boxes for fans to try. They're limited edition and limited in stock, which makes them a "SOLD OUT" Item on Althea. The prices are a steal as all items found in the beauty boxes are FULL SIZE items.
Unlike the conventional beauty boxes where you have to subscribe (and pay). Althea Boxes comes with no subscription fees and no surprises (heart attacks). Buy if you like what you see! Wait for the delivery 10 - 15 working days and unbox it! 

In this box, there's 8 products in total. 
I felt really blessed and grateful that I was chosen to be one of the bloggers to review this product. 
Products: 
1. Witch's Pouch: Stripe Pouch 
2. Mamonde: Flower Essential Mask - Rose Moisturising
3. Secretkey: Natural Daily Pure Sunstick 
4. Milkydress: Tril Beige Silky Velvet Primer 
5. Aritaum: Real Ampoule Color Corrector - Purple Beige, Peach Beige, Mint Beige
6. Witch's Pouch: Triple Cover Glow Foundation - #23 Triple Natural 
7. A Concept: Concealer
8. A Concept: All-in-one Brightening A: Cushion -#23 Natural Beige

These 8 products are your essential for your base makeup.

Witch's Pouch: Stripe Pouch
This pouch is able to keep all these items inside and still have a bit of space left. 
Perfect for travelling and you don't have to worry that you can't fit in all your makeup products. 
Althea is well-known for its pretty well designed box with the products inside. 
The design also changes with the holidays/ seasons. 
The box that I received is their new Christmas design. 
In light blue with snowflakes and snow all around the box. 
Simple and very pretty. 

Mamonde: Flower Essential Mask - Rose Moisturising
The Rose Mask is very very moisturising.
After I used the product, my skin feels so soft and I just couldn't stop touching it. (which is a bad thing).
But, it feels so soft and moisturise.
I would definitely recommend it.
I really need to be more hard working to put on masks and take good care of my skin.
This is also me wearing the products on my face, look at that result.
Secretkey: Natural Daily Pure Sunstick 
It's my first time seeing a stick sunblock.
When I opened it I was 'How do I use this?'
It have a scent to it, I don't personally like it that much. Smells like medicine in a way.
Contains SPA 50+, PA+++
Apply it evenly after your moisturiser and before any makeup products.
Apply it on places with high exposure with UV rays such as your face.
The product is like a thick balm and is sticky, though it stayed all day long.
I went for a swim, and I can still feel the product on my skin. And gave me a sense of relive.
Though it is a small product, I would use it for travelling more than an everyday use product.
I personally would not reach it when I do my everyday makeup.
Milkydress: Tril Beige Silky Velvet Primer 
This primer is just like what it says on the tube. 
It's like a tinted moisturiser. But it will fill up your pores and keep your skin clean, clear and oil-free all day. 
With my oily skin, it does control my pores before my face gets oily again. 
Use it as a base before putting any foundation or BB creams. 
Aritaum: Real Ampoule Color Corrector - Purple Beige, Peach Beige, Mint Beige
Colour correcting became a  trend not only in the western beauty culture but also in the eastern side.
This is my first ever colour correcting concealer.
It is to conceals and corrects redness and dark circles.
Use it before your BB cream, after your primer.
The product have the ability to neutralise the discolouration of appearance using complementary colours.
Mint Beige: to neutralise the redness on your skin.
Peach Beige: Brightens the dark circle areas.
Purple Beige: Cover your dull and yellow skin tone.

It is the first ampoule that have 40% of moisture.
**For the first time using, press on the top longer or 30 times for the product to come out.
The colour itself is very opaque, and have to blend it out, but the outcome will shock you.
And you will love it, just like I do.
Witch's Pouch: Triple Cover Glow Foundation - #23 Triple Natural 
Foundation is not really on my street, but I always wanted one because of its high coverage. 
And I can wear it for events or dinners. 
With this foundation, I do say that it doesn't dry out my skin. 
My skin looks brighter and with its high coverage my skin looks so smooth.
It contains moisture coating Vitamin B from royal jelly strengthen the immunity of your skin. 
**Palmed the bottom of the product to make the pumping easier.  
A Concept: Concealer
The concealer is not such a great product.
I put it on after I apply my BB cream and blend it out.
With my oily skin the product disappeared in just one hour.
The product is creamy, and I was so excited to use it.
But it doesn't go well with my skin type.
It might be good with other types of skin.
The product will not only conceals but also brightens up the area.
So places like the T-zone, pimples, dark spots and wrinkle areas are the optimal areas.
It's a small product also perfect for travelling.
A Concept: All-in-one Brightening A: Cushion -#23 Natural Beige 
The case itself is not really as high quality compare to Laneige. 
It's not as smooth to open it. 
The puff itself is also harder than the Laneige's puff. I prefer the A Concept's puff, as I can have more control over it. 
The product itself is a light BB cream. Light coverage but build-able. 
It have a light scent, but you will get use to it quite fast. 
I had my friend to try with her dry skin. It stayed on for a whole day. 
While I have oily skin, it stayed on for a good half day before I have to reapply again. 
The cushion pact have triple functionality of whitening, wrinkle care and sun protection with SPF 35, PA+++. 
With the content of Aloe Barbedensis Leaf Extract will bring your skin a tone lighter finish. 
It have a matte finish which is a plus! Best part is that is not sticky at all after applying. 
I would recommend to use it as an everyday product. 
Due to its overwhelming responds, this box is now sold out in Althea. 
But be on a look out for other boxes with many different kinds of products. 
Check it out here.

Hope that you guys like this post.
I will try to update as much as possible (though I say it in every post)
In 2 more weeks my internship is done, so by then I'll be more free.
Till then.



Love Me!! XOXO ♥♥♥♥

Yea that's what happened to me.

Chinese New Year have been fun!
Get to wear new clothes, received red packets plus meeting family. =)

I did mention from the last post that I'll be posting about my CNY.
So I'm going to share on what I wore during CNY.

Day 1 of CNY
I wore a two piece outfit.
Cream in colour with a layer of something like a net over the whole top and the skirt.
I like the colour.
I like how trendy it looks.
Best part is that it goes with everything!

 Top + Skirt is from Lynn Boutique.
 Wore the Statement Necklace that I bought from TaoBao.
Heels are from NEXT.
Bought them from my last KL trip! =)
Next outfit is this white top with a ribbon in the front.
Which is from NEXT also.
Pastel pink shorts is from A.S.A.P.

This wristlet is my go to purse for basically all my outfit in CNY.
Pastel pink wristlet from Charles and Keith.
This navy blue dress is from SuperDry!
I know, shockingly they have dresses there.
Love the top part of the dress!
Lastly this pink and white stripe dress with a hint of yellow is from Lynn Boutique too!
These are the outfits that I wore to dinner or family gathering, you know for special occasion and that's why I took pictures of them.
Other times I just wore some normal clothes.
Nothing worth to take pictures of.

1/07/2016 10:29:00 pm

Hi Hi Gals!!

Happy New Year!
It's 2016!
And I'm still going to be posting some things I bought last 2 months ago.
Starting the year with a haul! Awesome! =)

I have heard and read that Althea is a awesome place to shop for Korean skin care and make up products.
Cause they sell it on a much more lower price and also with fast shipping too!

My friend and I wanted to try it after hearing some great reviews on it.
And this is a small little haul, to show you gals what I bought from that website.

I have to say, shipping wise it's really awesome!
Products were shipped directly from Korea, and only needed 5 working days to arrive.

The packaging is just simply girly and pretty!
It shouted pink inside out!
And I love it!
They really do give out awesome and amazing discounts on products.
And with only RM150 spent, you'll have free shipping!
It's really a win win situation!

I only bought 3 products to try it out, cause well I just want to try it out!
After spending lots of time reading reviews and thinking which one I should buy.
I only narrowed it down to these.

Innisfree - Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask
RM43

I've heard many good reviews not only on this product but also on the brand itself too!
And I would love to give it a try.
So that's why I bought it!
Yay to my first Innisfree product!
Hahahaah!

This product, I bought it because:
1. There's tons of amazing reviews on it.
2. I buy it together with my friend, so both of us can try it out together.
3. After the discount, it's consider quite cheap!

Vitamin Capsules
RM25
And also it can last a long time! =)
The last product I bought, is for my own problem!
Well if you guys doesn't have blackhead problems I envy you!
I've tried Holika Holika pore strips before, and it works great!
So now I want to try their 3 steps blackhead strips.

Holika Holika - Pig-Nose Clear Black Head 3-Step Kit
RM7
So, taaadddaaaahhhh!
These are my items that I purchased from Althea.
I haven't tried any of them yet!
That's why I couldn't give any of my opinions on these products.
But I think I'll be able to use them happily!
Tell me, if you guys have these products, what is your own opinion on them?
I would love to know!



Love Me!! XOXO ♥♥♥

My 'Grown Up Wishlist' 2015

12/11/2015 03:31:00 pm

Hi Hi Guys!!

My finals are finally done!
And now, I'm going to list down some gifts that I would or might buy for myself in 2015.
Just to treat myself, that's all. ♥♥

Spring is a online store from New York City that sells branded goods from fashion for men and women, beauty products and also gadgets!
What you want, it will be in there! =)

Their mission is inspired by the season and the street, Spring is a single shopping destination where people can discover amazing products and buy them directly from the brands and designers that make them. They created their brand to emulate the experience of having all these shops available in one place.

They also have an app to make it easier for their customers to shop.
But it is only available within the US.

So, here are some items that I'd already put into my wishlist that I hope to buy myself during this Christmas!

I love love those kinds of cut out camisole right now!
It gives out an edgy and chic look effortlessly.
And it's still perfect to wear it here in Malaysia, cause it's hot here all year round!
Check it out, cami from Cami NYC here


And since I'm staying in a hot climate country.
It's only logical to wear shorts out!
You know how some shorts are really pretty and you just want to have them, but they are not practical.
I just want some comfortable shorts that are still presentable to the public.
Found this shorts from St. Roche, which have drawstrings and also eyelet cut at the bottom.
The drawstrings just gave the shorts a comfortable cozy look, which is what I want! =)
Check it out here
I've been wanting a chic backpack for the longest time ever!
A mini in size which is easy to bring it around.
Found this from Everlane, white, simple and cool! Love it so much!
Check it out here
Like I said from above, living in a hot country, which also mean exposing as much skin as possible.
So it also means, no sneakers, no cover up shoes!
Slipper is the most practical!
Easy and comfortable, and it won't suffocate my feet.
Love this gold slipper from Tory Burch!
Check it out here

If you do know me long enough, the only accessory that I will wear are necklaces!
I've been wanting those kind of necklaces that are small and delicate, which look so feminine.
Found this Tara 4779 which is white and gold colour pendent.
Plus that is small in size which I like!
Check it out here 
It's rare to see a pendent with 2 different colours!
So this is really unique! ♥♥
Perfume is the next thing I would love to own one. 
This perfume - Daisy Dream Eau de Toilette by Marc Jacobs is amazing!! 
I sniffed it a few times in the store, and would love to grab one back! 
Check it out here
A bluetooth speaker is what I love to have and own.
A simple one from Boundless S3 that have good quality is all I need! =)
Check it out here
And here a little beauty product.
I've heard tons of good reviews on this product and have been finding it ever since!
The Charlotte Tilbury Full Fat Lashes: Glossy Black.
It's been in my wishlist before I even have this wishlist!
I've been wanting it like forever. ♥♥
Check it out here
I do have something to say is that, sometimes the website will show up and sometimes is just a blank page even though it's load.
So that's why I took some pictures on my phone, cause it worked on my phone and not on my laptop.
It's load but nothing came up!
But sometimes like just now, it loaded and it came out.
So it will show on and off, not every time.
Hope they can fix that soon.

Anyway, these are the few items that are in my current wishlist!
Have a Merry Christmas! ♥♥




Love Me!! XOXO ♥♥♥

Pit Stop ♥ Coffee Smith 30/7/14

8/25/2014 11:15:00 pm

Heeellllooooo!!!  =D
This is another small outing with my bestie Ee Yin. =)

From the title, I guess you can see where we went to.
So let' just get started, shall we?

Pit Stop is a place that many of my friends recommended me to go.
They told me that their carbonara is really good.
I went in the morning, and I don't want to fill my stomach too much, so I didn't order it.
But I will go again next time to try it! =)

This cafe served all day breakfast!!
Isn't that cool or what!


The interior has a vintage look with some antique stuff in it.




Anyway, I ordered Berry Banana Pancake RM10
It's served with pancake, banana, strawberries, walnuts and ice cream!!


Awesome or what?!
I had ice cream in the morning as my breakfast! lol
♥♥♥


I love the pancake, but it's a little bit thick for me.
I rate it 7/10


If I'm not wrong Ee Yin ordered Bacon and Cheese Sandwich for RM12
It served with potato wedges as the side. =)
Yums!!


I guess the make up bug caught me, and I did some make up which is rare!
I mean of course I put BB cream before I go out, is just that today's look is added with some eyeliner and trying out my new brow kit.
So, taaadddaahhhh!!
My simple make up look. =)

[Which I don't do it more than 5 times in a year] Lol!!


What I wore :
Top : Debenhams
Shorts : Voir Jeans
Shoes : Aldo


Then we just sit and chat for a long time!!

At around 11'30 am, we head over to the new cafe called Coffee Smith.
Heard many good reviews on their food.
So we went over to give it a try as our brunch. =D

When you first step in, there's this weird smell.
Is it just me or you guys who went before smell it to?


The interior =)




We were quite full from our breakfast, so we decided to just share our brunch.

Ordered a Potted Cocoa for around RM 12 [ I don't really remember the price ]
Is like Chocolate Ice Blended. =)
So is just 6/10.




My bro went there before, and told me to try their Linguine. And I did. =)
So this is one of their best seller called Scallop and Mentaiko Cream Linguine for RM22


The first time you taste it, you will definitely say it's good. ♥♥
This dish is totally worth the money, for RM22 you can get two huge scallop.
Which I feel is really worth it. =)


I'll give this dish 7/10 =)

And that's the end of our little food adventure around Penang.


Happy that I get to hang with you again before our huge exam approach.
Good luck in yours and study smart ya!
Don't stress yourself too much =))

Love Me!! XOXO ♥♥♥♥
