My very first colored contact

Call me stoneage, but I just have the urge to try on colored contact lens since few weeks ago. At the age of 27 ++ (I'm turning 28 in April btw *hint* *hint*). I did some research on what brand is the best so I choose Freshlook.

I had trouble choosing the colors because I don't want it to be too eye popping or too subtle (then what's the point of wearing colored contact right?). Plus the models in the Freshlook pamphlets don't seem to be helping a lot because we're asian with black/dark brown pupils. So I wasn't quite sure how it's gonna look like on me. Then the optician suggested Grey because it's the most popular color (Grey ya. Not Sterling Grey).

The 1st moment I open the box, I was like, okay, this is it. The moment of truth. Wear it or leave it. So here I am, with my 1st color contact lens from Freshlook in Grey.

I was little relief it wasn't that eye popping and not too weird on me.

pordon budak tak mandi lagi ni. am talking about him yer. not me :P

But the only problem for me when I 1st started putting the color contact lens on, my vision is not really that clear. I kept seeing those Grey color around the lens. It's like I'm having cataract of something. Is this suppose to be normal? Will I ever get used to it? But apart from that, it is so comfortable. No irritation whatsoever. (I've got dry eyes. Kinda hard for me to wear any kind of contact lens)

So what do you guys think of the new look? 

Bought it 1 box = 1 pair = 1 month = RM 50. 3 boxes = 3 pairs = 3 months = RM120. Since it's my 1st time, 1 bought 1 box. Maybe next time I can buy more! Maybe in different colors! :P

On make up

I did tweet the other day that I was looking for a new make up brush. Well actually a make up brush. Just for the eye. Saje ngada nak beli 1 set :P

Anyway, I went to Gurney and walked in this beauty shop called SHINS. I was just browsing and the 1st thing I saw was this Ecotools brushes.

Unfortunately, they don't have the sponge like brush I was looking for. They are all made of bamboo. I asked her show me the best brand for eye brush and she gave me this Basic. Cost me RM10 for it. I bought a liquid eyeliner too from Bloom for RM50. and since I need a foundation, I bought L'oreal liquid foundation. and the rests were my purchase a week before. Saje nak masuk skali kan. Bagi meriah  :P

I used to wear Maybelline liquid eyeliner so when the promoter said this is really easy to take off, just peel it off, i wanted to try. and the reason I chose L'oreal for foundation, because it says for anti-wrinkle :P
It's not that I have any lines or anything, it's just I used this foundation only around the eyes before applying eyeshadow. :)

I did a little DIY last weekend. Bought myself this plastic drawer at Tesco to organize all my *ehem* so called make up product so it would be easy for me to look for it. I think it is very convinient rather than stuff them all in the big drawer. Don't you think? Looks pretty neat huh? (well my collection tak banyak pon. I'm not an avid make up wearer :P)

and instead of leaving my brushes in its pouch, I've decided to have them in this jar from the mayonaisse bottle. :P I've clean it thoroughly okay! Siap rendam air garam tuuu..( to peel off it's sticker).

Ahh.. I guess that's pretty much all about my make up stuff (itu je?) yup. It's only this few weeks I've started to grow fond in make up. I even put on some to work! That's really something that maybe, because of the pregnancy? Could it be? I don't know. Or maybe I just have the awareness that i-am-pale-like-a-zombie-so-please-do-something-about-it to myself :)

My facial care product

Someone once asked me about facial care product that I've been using since she/he said that my skin look so healthy (she said arr.. bukan syok sendiri :P)

Honestly, my face actually isn't that healthy. If you see my face closely, there are still problems like black heads, white heads, and a little unwanted hair here and there :P

But I guess I am one of those lucky ones who's skin isn't that serious like some people may have like pimples, breakouts and etc. ( I do have that sometimes during that time of the months tho :))

As for me, I would consider my skin as combination skin since I've got a little oily around the T-zone

But it's not so serious that I need to use face blotter everytime.

Anyway, I've been using Himalaya Herbals since 4-5 years ago. That's quite a long time!  The first time I had it, I just love the result. My skin have been less oily and it feels fresh everytime after using it.

 Since my skin is considered as Normal, I just use this Gentle Face Wash Cream for my everyday wash.

 Then apply this toner to keep the skin healthy and radiant

 I use the Apricot Scrub once a week to remove the dead skin cells. Using it too often may cause your skin to break.

 Then finish off with this Nourishing Cream Moisturizer.

and this Revitalizing Night Cream during the night :)

However, like most products, the results may varies to certain user. We all born with unique skin and some products may not work well to some of you.

Maybe some people, pakai air suam pon dah cukup. and some people kena pakai product yang mahal or get description from Doctors. As for me, I'm blessed just by using this product is suffice :)

The cost for each Himalaya's facial care varies from RM21 - RM30. If you're lucky, you might get it way much cheaper at some personal store like Watson's or Guardian. 

Himalaya Herbals also has their own store at local shopping malls. But you won't get cheaper price there. Pelik kan?

I don't think I would be switching to other brands in the near future. Maybe once Himalaya Herbals has stops it's production, THEN I will look for other brands :P

What's your favorite drugstore skin care?

Elianto's beauty product and a story behind the missing palette

I was looking for a make up brush set the other day because my old ones is missing. I may have misplaced is somewhere when we were moving. *sigh. I love Beautilicious brushes so much and it's really worth it for only RM49! Now I couldn't find the same one at any Watson's. Raya is closer and I need the make up brushes pronto! (mind you I'm a sucker for a bargain. To me, good stuff + cheaper price = happy me! call me kedekut taik idung masin but that's me! :P

Anyway, about this Elianto. Well I've been their fan since few years ago. I started to love their eye shadows' palette (you know the rounded one?) that cost RM5-6 per colour? So I already had a few, in loose and just bought the casing few weeks back.

All together, this is what my catch from Elianto this month.

• Make up brush set
• Lip gloss
• Eyeliner sharpener
• Eye shadow's empty pallet

This brush set came with 2 sponges so you can like, use it with make up or powder.

1 set consists of 5 brushes : Lips, blusher, eyeshodows and err.. 2 more eyeshadows.

Actually there's a story behind this eye shadow's palette. You see, the eyeshadow were sold loose, one colour for RM5-6 right? So 3 weeks ago, I bought this palette, empty one (well they don't sell ones with eyeshadows) for RM14 I think. I can't remember exactly how much it costs. I bought it in Jusco, Midvalley. 

At that time, I was purchasing this palette and 1 eyeshadow and the promoter requested for me to pay at the counter first before taking the item. But when I returned after the payment. she somehow had misplaced my item and took another one from the display. I just checked the 1 eyeshadow I purchased to make sure it was the right colour  and didn't bother to check for the palette because obviously I've paid for empty ones.

But not until 1 week ago, when I finally had the time to take out the palette and decided to put my loose eyeshadow in it, to my surprise, the palette was not empty! There were 3 eyeshadow in it and I love them colours! I know they are not mine but it's not my fault that the promoter messed up the item right? I guess it's her loss my gain :) and I'm here in Penang! How on earth I could go back to KL just to return that? 

I haven't use it anyway. But it's totally fine right? (why am I feeling this guilt?) because technically, it's not mine. *sigh.

p/s : on another note, after few hours writing this entry, I've found my Beautilicious make up brushes! So I don't think I will be using this Elianto's. Maybe I would give it away huh? :D

Aromatherapy with perfume

 Yup. Every smell of perfume will definetly change the moods, don't you agree?

But to tell you the truth, I'm not much of a perfume person. Will you believe me if I say I never buy perfume in my whole life? (untuk orang lain tak termasuk yer. and hataran pon tak kira jugak :P) Yup. NEVER! I'm not really a fan of perfume maybe because I sememangnya sudah wangi? :P Why? I have no idea! But I've never been perfume-less :P

Almost all of my perfume were gifts or orang belikan. I macam teringin jugak nak beli one for myself tapi macam dah banyak pulak.

Let's see apa yang I penah pakai shall we?

Versace Metal Jeans

One of my favourite!! Tapi bukan for women tau. But for men! Seriously the smell is soooo....ooooo much better than women's.It's like mother of all perfume!! I loveee the smell. Too bad this one of a kind sudah discontinued :( And the casing I buat jadik pensel case pegi sekolah bleh? :P

Marc Jacobs

Owh .. my dad bought me this one. I love the smell too. A bit like err... timber kinda smell?

This is my current favorite smell  to go to work. Baru ada mood... :)

Issey Miyake

 

Bought this 2 sets for his and hers for hantaran. Why I bought this, don't ask! But the smell is not bad ;)

Live by J.Lo

My sis gave this to me as a wedding gift. Kinda like sweet smell.

Suitable for outing or ehem.. before going to bed :P

Love it!

Azzaro Now

My mom bought this for me. Suppose nak buat hantaran. Tapi tak sabar nak pakai dulu :Ph

DKNY Be Delicious

This perfume is quite famous back then because of the sweet apple smell. Nyum nyum.

Skarang ni, almost every where I go, 1 to 3 women mesti ada this smell. So kurang pakai ini. Owh and got this from my dad :)

How about you? Do we have the same smell? and what's your favourite perfume?

Do share! :)

The art of make up

Haha.. okay.. the title may be a bit cliche but I just couldn't think of any at that moment :P. Anyways, have you heard about a make up product name Beautilicious?

I am an occasional make up wearer. Meaning I wear make up only on special occasional :P But sometimes I would wear make up only when I feel like I want to.

Anyways, I just want to share with you this amazing make up brush set from Beautilicious ( no I don't get paid for this. I wish! :P)

I like to BUY make ups especially eye shadow. See I empasis on BUY? Yeah because I hardly use them. Saje seronok beli. I love the colors. I even have green eye shadow! Ntah biler la nak pakai :P

 

So this brush set came with 6 types of brush in a beautiful pouch.

The set includes :

• Face / Blusher Brush
• Eyeshadow Brush
• Eyeshadow Sponge Applicator
• Eyebrow brush & comb
• Angled Brush
• Lip Brush

The best part is, I don't have to spend a fortune for this make up tool. RM49 sounds affordable right? This make up range can be found at Watson's. I'm not sure la tempat lain, but that's where I get this brush.

Try it. Sure is worth it ;)
