Face Your Fashion Fear Challenge!

3/24/2017 08:11:00 am

Hey guys!

I've been challenged to face my fashion's fear by Dia&Co.

Dia&Co. is a curated shopping experience, delivered to your doorstep, exclusively in sizes 14+!

The fashion that I fear of are off shoulders tops or dresses.
Thus it make sense that I do not own any of these clothing styles.
As you guys who know me, will know that I love to dress and be comfortable.

I personally find these two fashion very stylish and attractive. I love them. But never had the courage to try them.
Why?
Because I feel like I have like big shoulders  compare to other petite Asian girls. So it gave me insecurities of showing skin of my shoulders.

When off shoulders became trendy, I build up the courage to buy some off shoulder tops.
But I never really tried to wear it off shoulder. I just wore them up on my shoulders.

Then, when Dia&Co. contacted me, I build up the courage to wear my tops off shoulder.
And here's the results!!

I might need some time to get use to it. 
But I love it that now I can pull off this style.

A post shared by Sarah Lee (@sarahlee95) on

Top: Forever 21
Shorts: a.s.a.p.
Slippers: Havaianas


So, if you have a fashion that you fear, my advice is to just try them.
You'll never know how you look until you try them right.
Just give it a go! Love your body and just try them out! You might experience a new and amazing feeling and even gain confidence!
I would love for you guys to experience it once.

Also, if any of you try out any fashion that you feared.
Snap a pic and share it with me!
I would love to see how you guys look!



Love Me!! XOXO 💕💕💕💕

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. 
http://my.althea.kr/catalogsearch/result/?q=althea+box  
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 ♥♥♥♥

Being 21 in Sydney!

9/04/2016 07:31:00 pm

Hey Guys!! 

Before I update on posts that I should have posted ages ago, I have to do this as tradition, about my birthday celebration.
This will not be my average boring annual birthday post. 
Instead I'll discuss more on what I think and what went through when celebrating my birthday in another country. 

Turning 21, is a huge thing for every teenager, as it is the same for me. 
But once uni was planned and I had to leave my friends and family in Malaysia. 
Turning 21 wasn't the first thing that I was worrying about. 
But as all my friends having big, huge birthday bash that I wish that I could attend and celebrate for them, but I wasn't there. 
Wearing all those fancy dresses that you will only wear once, had make up and hair done professionally with photographer. A huge deal!!  
But I never get to do it and I will never get to experience it ever, cause I'm not back home. 
I envy you all, to be honest.

When my birthday approached, I had thoughts about what I should do.  
Me having the experience not being able to celebrate with my family and best friends.
Me having the experience of what I should do on my birthday.
Me having the experience of who should I celebrate my birthday with. 
Me having the experience of whether my friends really want to make the effort to celebrate with me turning 21?!
Or me having the experience of thought of me celebrating my birthday alone in this foreign land. 
Me having the experience of actually feeling grateful. 
Me having the best experience that no one else had.
All the small little matters that everyone will take granted for. 

But I know that this is God's plan for giving me the chance to celebrate me turning 21 in another country. 
This is God's plan for me to meet my new friends from Credo. 
This is also God's plan for me having some really good friends from having the same faith as I do. 
I feel blessed whenever I'm with them. 
I feel happy that I know them. 
I feel lucky that I have them that I can call them friends who I can trust. 
In whatever they do, I get inspired and learn new things from each one of them.

Never once in my mind that my friends that I just met in between the period of 6 months would do anything for me on my birthday. 
(Well is too short of a time to build a good and stable relationship, in my case)
Never once that had cross my mind that these people, these crazy but caring and loving human beings would even take the effort and time to make me happy. 
But, these crazy loving and caring people who I met from 5 weeks ago, 3 months ago and 6 months ago surprised me (almost into tears). 

It was suppose to be a small group lunch on my birthday, as my friends wanted to celebrate with me. 
Since I had nothing planned, I might as well just agree and go for lunch with them. 
It was suppose to be just us 3 people for lunch. 
And I was already late for time that we agreed to meet at, and I hate being late.
But in the end, Anto told me that the place is packed and needed to wait. 
The waitress will give them a call when there's a place, so I don't have to stay there and be bored. 
Since things came out like that, I might as well agree. 
Then Jane, Anto and I was sitting in building 11 in uni and wait for the person to text/call him that the next table is ours. 

Finally is our turn, I wanted to go to this place for such a long time. (After my friend posted in Insta) 
~The Local Mbassy~ 
It's a small, tiny corner cafe. 
And so when we got in, mentally prepared to sit in a small table for 3 in the corner of the cafe. 
Instead I was facing with 4 other familiar faces, sitting at that huge table at the corner of the cafe. 
My face was priceless (I know, good thing there's no camera there). 
I almost teared up while hugging my good Brazilian friend, Bia while saying 'hi' to others. 
Still in shocked I sat down at the table. 
Feeling bad that they had to wait so long just to have food. (well don't like to burden people) 
Couldn't even decide what to order, cause I was still in shock. 
In my mind was, I couldn't believe these people would want to give up their time just for me. 
But also, I did tell myself to prepare for something. 
As I know that Anto will have something up. =D 

Thank you all so much for the surprise, even though I never get to be in a fancy dress, in a well decorated party to celebrate me turning 21, but this kind of celebration is the one that is perfect for me! 

The Local Mbassy, I will talk about it in the next blog post. (Or else, this post would be too long). 

We went karaoke in Strathfield, as we had nothing to do anyways. 
After 2 hours of fun. 
This is the one we had been waiting for months! 
Anto, Tim, me and Clara bought tickets to Pentatonix Concert at Enmore Theatre in Newtown! 

Fun fact: When I bought the ticket, the person that I know was only Anto hahaha 
And now is totally different! 
Being able to go to my first ever concert with these crazy people.
It was a great experience!
As for Pentatonix, they are adorable and cool at the same time.
They are really talented performers and I really do look up to them.
We were at the dance floor, and Whao I thought I would be deaf by the girl beside me shouting at the top of her lungs.
But being at the dance floor was another fun experience that I thought I would never get to try out.
Like I said, I was lucky and blessed.
Pentatonix was amazing!

I'm somewhere in that crowd at the bottom floor/ dance floor =)   
And I also am grateful that I have my relatives here who are willing to take care of me too.
Went to Bitton for dinner the day before my birthday, and dinner was amazing!
My cousins are the best!
Right now is the end of what happened on my birthday.
No more, free Boost drinks, or free presents from Sephora and Khiels
But I did receive some great company, food and fun on my birthday.

If you ask me to describe the day in one word, I would say 'bless'.

He, who guide me all the way here and the future.

Sorry for the lengthy post, but I just have to get it out there.
I would be very glad if you are the one who read through the whole thing. =)

Three Sisters, Echo Point @ Blue Mountains

8/11/2016 03:53:00 pm

Hey! =)

Before my semester starts, I went up to the Blue Mountains a few times. 
And I manage to just stay up there for a few days too. 
With this chance, I manage to capture the real beauty of the Blue Mountains.
This picture was taking when the sun is setting, I love the view here during sunset!
It's just breathtaking! 

This picture was taken when we woke up in the early morning like 7am-ish.
My uncle was so excited that he woke us up just to see this. 
And it was amazing! 
It feels like you were above the clouds. 
Just to say it happened during the winter, cause by my knowledge from my uncle, it never happen in other seasons. (Idk~) 
But just how spectacular this is!  
And so we walked over to the first sister walk!
Yes there is a track to walk over, and I do recommend you to do it!
It's an easy 20-30 minutes walk, and there's stairs to help you anyway.
So I'm sure you guys can do it too!
At night, I have a habit to just stand still and look up to the sky and stargaze.
Coming here to the Blue Mountains gave me this hobby which is to enjoy and relax the night view.
Even the weather is like 1°C, I would still enjoy doing it! [Because is amazing! The sky is filled with thousand and millions of stars, and sometimes you can even see some shooting stars!]

 Then, me and my cousins decided to do the most craziest thing, which is to take pictures of the stars. 
Just to say, it was very very windy that day, so even though the temperature is 5°C it feels like -1°C!! 
And we have to stand still for like 30 seconds so that the picture can be taken. Even though 30 seconds doesn't feel long, but standing there in the cold windy night, it is FREEZING! 
But the picture came out great! 
And of course, just to end this post with a random picture of me when I took in the Blue Mountains hahaha (Fake candid picture!) 
#OOTD 
Top: Forever 21
I really enjoy myself when I was up there, and I really hope that you guys can experience that too.
Because you can feel how relax you are when you are up there!
Come here when you are in Sydney, Australia!
And I promise you will enjoy it!

Boon Cafe @ Haymarket, Sydney

7/31/2016 07:56:00 pm

Hiiii
Let's just jump right into it, shall we?
Yes, is another food post! =)

I was out with a good gal pal of mine, and we randomly chose this place to have brunch cause well the images online looks great!
So we wanted to try it out!
And we did!!
Boon cafe is a modern Chat Thai diner! So check it out!

Coffee, as you know I'm not a coffee drinker, so obviously is not mine.
And I'm sorry for those who are curious what coffee drink is this, I'd forgotten.
So my apologies.
Pandan Custard Toast $4
We ordered it cause it was on the recommended items for this cafe, and it was not wrong!
For this amount of toasts and it actually have the taste of Pandan, is awesome!!!
Is creamy, thick and the flavour is just perfect!
As some stores, their pandan flavour doesn't have the taste of pandan, so this is food from back home!
Gosh I miss kaya!! ><
I ordered the Nahm Prik Nuum Sandwich $13
Which basically contains northern region green chilli relish, spicy pork herb sausage (which caught my attention), soft-boiled egg, soft herb and pickled cabbage salad.
And in conclusion!
It tasted like otak-otak! And is amazing!! The spice is not as bad as you can't keep on eating spicy, but is tolerable.
I'm missing this dish now....
My friend ordered their dish that was recommended online, and she said that it was a good choice that she ordered this, cause she love it!
Naam Todt $13
Which contains fried fermented pork and rice cake, peanuts, soft herbs, pickled cabbage salad.
And it sounds and look amazing doesn't it?!
While waiting for our food, well I finally took some selfie from my camera.
My insta, go check it out!! - sarahlee95

Then we had time to burn anyways, so we head over to Hyde Park.
#OOTD
Blue Turtle Neck Top : Uniqlo
Turtle Neck Jumper : H&M
Dark Beige Coat : Uniqlo
Pants : Uniqlo
Boots : The Flexx
Like I said in my last few posts, Uniqlo is basically my fav and have already taken up half of my closet.
Well it kept me warm in winter, so why not? =)
So tell me, how have you been?

Black Star Pastry│Doux Amour @ Sydney

7/18/2016 06:53:00 pm

Heyyyyy,

Finally back after some busy days!
I was busy with my Christian Fellowship Camp (FOCUS Camp) up in the Blue Mountains.
That was fun!
And now I'm half working (meh~ kinda), I got an internship during the holidays, and I'm glad that I'm able to slowly step into the working world.
So we'll see how it goes! =)
Internships here and in Malaysia is different.
I only have to go to work for 2 days/week. And only work for 3-4 hours a shift.
So it ain't that bad.
A slow step into the working world indeed.

But let's go a bit before these all things happen.
I went out with my good friend, who was willing to drive me around and also bring me around Sydney like a local!
So I get to visit these cafes that only the locals know. (or mostly the locals know hahaha!)

Let's begin this Dessert Day!

21/6/2016

Black Star Pastry

Well I mentioned Black Star Pastry before, when I first came to Sydney.
Here.
My cousin introduced me their famous Strawberry & Watermelon Cake!
Since then, I fell in love with it! And have been craving for it ever since!
So we made a trip over to Newtown to grab the cake!
Also, it is sooo worth for the pictures again!
A piece of cake costs $7.50, not a cheap cake I know, but worth all the money! =)


Also worth all the different angles! =D

Doux Amour

I saw these cute puffs on instagram, and by the way, follow my insta @sarahlee95 and I just wanted to go to this cafe to check it out!
And yes it's adorable and cute and just irresistible!
How can it be so cute!!??
So from left to right:
Frog: Matcha Flavour
Penguin: Black Sesame Flavour
Pig: Rose and Lychee Flavour
Bear: Nutella Flavour

So yeah, they are really worth the pictures, but only worth for once.
Just sayingggg~ (but it's true, just worth for one visit.)
And is also good to go with friends! *ADVICE!*


#OOTD
Pink Sweater: Forever 21
Inner White Shirt: TaoBao
Cardigan: H&M
White Pants: Uniqlo
Boots: The Flexx
Bag: Pierre Cardin
It was a cold autumn/ winter day.
Learn how to layer up to be warm and cozy =)
So, this is basically the end for my dessert post.
And now winter is here, I've been craving for ice cream even more.
Cold plus cold, I must have been crazy!
And also have you guys been playing Pokemon Go?
I have! Now I'm in level 15! Team Red!!!
So let's chat bout Pokemon, shall we?!

The Grounds of Alexandria @ Sydney

5/24/2016 06:58:00 pm

Hi Hi!! 

So glad that I'm back to my little corner of everything. 

My cousin brought me over to The Grounds of Alexandria for the first time. 
With what I saw in the pictures, it was already amazing! 
The whole place is just so Instagram worth, just saying~ 
I really do love the place, it's big enough to have 3 different places to dine in, and also a few stalls to sell cute mini doughnuts and pastries.
I never tried those pastries as we were full from our huge and amazing lunch!
Just look how cute and mini those pastries are!
I would definitely try it when I visit this place again.
So my cousin and I, had lunch at The Cafe. 
There's also The Garden and The Potting Shed to dine in which also have really beautiful ambiance and great food for you to enjoy.  
Being serious here, I have no idea what to order. 
And I was just looking at the menu for so long! 
In the end, made the decision to have their The 'Ground' Burger for $19.
I love the chips so much, it's just crispy on the outside and everything melts once you bite it in! Just heavenly! 
My cousin ordered their Lamb Ragout Pappardelle for the same price as my burger too. 
I was worried for their huge serving, but with my cousin and I sharing the chips, we manage to finish off all the food.
And the burger isn't as big as I thought, which is great!
They have a bakery too!
Even though I would love to enjoy all of their pastries, sadly I was just too stuff.
They also have a flower shop.
Might be a great place to buy a last minute present to an event =)
They also sell candles and pretty cutleries in the store, so go in and check it out!
A photo posted by Sarah Lee (@sarahlee95) on

The main entrance to the cafe is decorated prettily with lights and potted plants.
#OOTD
Top: I'm sorry I don't remember where my black tank top is from.
Cardigan: Cotton On
Pants: Uniqlo
Sunglasses: Gucci
Bag: Pierre Cardin
Shoes: Toms
The weather isn't as cold, so I can just wear lightly around, which is awesome!
*Now I'm missing my shorts*
This is The Potting Shed area to enjoy tea with family and friends, I love how they decorated here.
They also have this picture printing machine in every dining area, once posted the picture in Instagram with their specific hashtag, the machine will print out the image in 30 seconds.
And my once private Instagram became public just for this, because I wanted a free printed picture.
This was the picture that's printed! Look how cute that is! =D
And of course, an awesome place with great ambiance and amazing food, just brought my whole mood up.
Did I mention that they have a petting zoo too!
But I was in a hurry, so no pictures were taken.
How amazing is this place!
I'm glad that I'm back, but uni has been busy. 
So, I'll will see you guys when I see you! =) 
Enjoy!



Love Me!! XOXO ♥♥♥♥
