18/12/2013 Dislike being sick

December 18, 2013

Being sick on the 6th day.

I admit, I have been slacking on taking care with my hair. Need to put in more time so I can has nice hair.

After one day of resting. Its back to work!!

“Yes, I am still keeping the positive energy every morning I wake up. The best part is putting on my make up and giving myself thr boost of confidence. ”

Came back from meeting today. And guess what arrived today!!!! I was so happy I could jump around when I saw it on my table when I came back. Buahahahahaha.

To be honest, I was upset that watsons has discontinued carrying natures & co. Kose counters dont sell them either even though they ARE under kose. So sad.. but oh well. I got these for rm100 when it originally retails at 80 per tub. (There was a clearance sale at hishop)

Today, I had an upset moment. Now thinking and typing it is bringing back the emotions. My macbook has crashed on me. I am so sad! This means money to fix it. *le-sigh. Why????

Then!!! I dropped my phone twice!!!! I was walking and typing. And it somehow slipped out my hand. Can you believe it!!! I had a wtf moment. Then when I picked it up and stood up, it fell again!!! Walao!!!! As if the phone jumped out of my hands.

When I picked it up... I saw green lines all over my screen. I was thinking

“Fuck!!! Fuck fuck. Dont tell me screen problem and can't use it anymore or what shit not. ”

I immediately yanked the battery out and force restart it.. the min I saw the samsung logo I was relieved... but.... its laggy now. So fuck. Dont know if anything went lose.

Today something funny happened.

I went to midvalley/gardens to try to drop my mac at the apple store which was a failure. But thats another story. So I was there....

While walking past the lower ground floor. I saw two girls that were coming from my opposite direction. One looked at me and started poking her friend.. and as I walked passed I heard her going

“Oi! Oi! Oi! Is that... ... ... ... ”

But I didnt turn back cause I was kinda in a hurry to deposit a cheque and wasnt sure if I could. Mayne they mistaken me for someone. I dont know. It wasn't until when I left almost an hour and half later. As I was walking towards the escalator to the car... I saw the two girls again. This time with another two girls. So its four...

Well, im not sure if they really think its me. Or mistaken it for someone else. LOL.

But it was just funny.

KLIMS2013

November 24, 2013

Sunday morning. Ladi ladi la. ANother amazing day sleeping in late. :D

YOu see me rollin. You hatin.

Finally woke up at 1pm. With over 200 msgs at my highschool wassap groupchat. I wasnt really ready to wakeup until a friend msged to ask to go to KLIMS.

I really wanted to go to KLIMS but didnt really have a company to go with. Thats why i was really hyped up and happy to be able to go!!! but i finally made it and got to go on the LAST DAY!!!

KLIMS2013

The future of cars by toyota.

Finally saw my all time favourite MacLaren live in front of me!!! Still love it. If i could have it. I would want a red one. :D.

I DONT know why i have always loved maclarens. Since playing need for speed or any car racing game i would always pick that car.

Then we also have the all time second favourite ford mustang shelby.
Unfortunately like the maclaren, its not for sale, just to show only.

So i finally managed to see the Ford Fiesta 1.0 ecoboost. (No photo cz was busy looking at it)
To be honest, i was disappointed. I expected it to be much more spacious. I was alright with the interior/exterior. But the space was really a downside. Two of the guys i went with sat together behind and they could barely move.

Of course, i only sat in it and didnt really drive it. Then my friend, who somehow knew what i would like, brought me to the hyundai i30. i wasnt really into at first but as we approached the car i was like ohmaigawd.

I sat at the driver seat. Looked at the interior. Stepped and tested the brakes and accelerator. Instantly I fell in love with it. Like instantly it became my car.

You know, its like buying a house. You see the images and hear about it and it sounds amazing but its all about that first impression gut feeling the first time you see it. And thats how i fell for the hyundai i30. It wad instant love at first sight.

Sadly, it cost 120k and only available in March. *le-sigh*. It's over budget and BIGSIGH. I guess the next option would be the Elantra. Hoping I would be ableto fall in love with it too. Because the i30 is the hatchback of the Elantra. Hopefully, I would fall in love with it too. I don't mind a sedan because it's within budget.

October Favourites [Monthly Favourites]

November 06, 2013

Today, i'd be showing you some of the products of my favourites for the month October.

As some of you may know, I have been travelling up and down for the past few months. So in order to have a consistent skincare routine. I had many stuff that are in the smallest size I could find possible, or trial size. (It's also an excuse and a way to have more stuff and try out more).

So for the month October, I had.

1. Etude House BB Magic BB Balm

When Etude House first came out with their BB creams few years back, this was the holy grail product that hit the market. The BB Magic BB Balm. It was like RM89/$30, so it was pretty costly for me as i was still a student back then. But friends around me were purchasing this and raving about it. I just thought it was just too expensive. Right when I had enough money to get it, it was discontinued and replaced by their newer range. Until during my birthday month (september) i decided to head down to Etude House as they had a 50% sale. THEY HAD THIS!! I grabbed it for rm45/$15 and never regretted it. I now know why everyone raved about this.

2. Lancome Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector

This is an amazing holy grail product but somehow to me, it's not an everyday use product. It's more of a once a week use product. This really tightened my pores, smooth out my skin, as well as reducing the redness.

3. It's Skin YE Effector

We all know how Yeast is a beauty miracle in skincare products. The SKII famous essence, or the MISSHA treatment essence and many more holy grail treatment essence is all because of the ingredient of yeast. It's just that different brands may use different extract and family of yeast. I personally have the MISSHA treatment essence which i would include in the monthly favourite, but I did not carry it with me because it comes in a 250ml size. I stumbled upon this and it's a korean brand call "It's Skin" they are famous for their serums which are known as the Power 10 Formula Line.

4. Urban Decay Primer Potion

This is my holy grail products. It keeps my eyeshadow, eyeliner and all my eyemakeup stay. As well as my eyebrows. AND, i now say bye bye to my oily lids as well.

5. Olay CelLucent White Radiance Eye Roller

Olay is one of my favourite skincare brand and it's a trustable brand. I use to think Olay was for old people and I know many still think too. But It's not. This product I can't say it's super effective, but one thing I know for sure that, it reduces my puffy eyes, and my dark circles aren't that visible anymore. Dark circles are blood flows that are accumulated there, not skin pigmentation that created that dark circle. I really love this because it's handy, it has three small steel balls that cools my eyelids and decreases the puffiness.

6. Bio Essence Miracle Water

This is my holy grail everyday product. You know they say clean water makes a difference? I use this after I was my face. As we know, tap waters aren't as clean as we think they are no matter how filtered they are. So, after cleaning and cleansing my face, it's strip clean, bare and naked. So i love to use this to spray on my face to give it a clean fresh feel on my bare naked face. This has reduced my redness and rosecea no doubt because my face is now clean from the base when it's naked.

7. Olay Regenerist Serum

This is my favourite moisturizer of the month. It's moisturizing but it's not heavy or creamy or oily. Many might wonder that they state it as "serum" so how could it be a moisturizer? Well, it's just that way. LOL. It's more of a serum moisturizer. Try it at the counter and you'd know why I love it. It's perfect for my sensitive skin. And as I am someone who layers my skincare, I hate heavy products. Heavy doesn't mean it would get absorb.

8. Touch in SOL Be Nice To My Skin Cream SPF 30 PA +++

This is my sunscreen of the month. I use this if I was going to go bareface with no bb cream or foundation for the day. Or if I am using it with a foundation that has NO SPF. OR a face powder.

9. Bobbi Brown Corrector in Bisque

This is the only product that could cover my dark circles in a very natural way. I hate concealers that are yellow base (most of them are ) Because yellow does not cover purple (the color of my dark circle). Whereas the pink base concealers can cover it up. UNLESS if you are looking for the Kim Kardashian super highlight cheeks and undereyes kind. I use to have the Bobbi Brown concealer+powder. But I decided to give the corrector a go.

10. MAC Studio Sculpture in NW20

This acts as my yellow base concealer, or if i want to cover up some spots of freckles or pimples or i want to go flawless and full coverage. I would use this under my foundation. I know I am a NC/NW10, but I bought this is NW20 was because I didn't want to look flash bright then my foundation would blend. This is perfect if you want a full coverage.

11. Macadamia Hair Oil Treatment

This, is my holy grail hair oil product. I have NEVER found anything to replace this. Their whole range is amazing, but the only downside is that it's really hard to find it in the asia market. And the other downside is that, le-boyfie hates the smell. LOL. (It smells of macadamia if you wonder)

12. SLEEK i-Divine palette STORM 578

I love palettes. I would still say the Urban Decay palette is still an all-time winner. But it's just that I currently own the palette 1 which is the magnet fabric casing which it's difficult to travel as I am worried it would be pushed opened or so. SLEEK has amazing palettes and their colors are similar and pigmented as well! So this is my travel favourite as it has the different shades of green, red and blue so if i wanted to go something different that day or night, I have more choices.

13. NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder

Sa to say I have no brows. (Waiting for the day to do embroidery) So drawing and shaping them is a must everyday. I literally have NO BROWS. was born with this state so i have to deal with drawing them. So getting something that is long lasting is important. The NYX eyebrow cake powder is amazing because the colors looks pigmented but it's buildable and they have the wax to groom and make the color last longer.

15. 3 Concept Eyes Eyebrow Pencil

I have started drawing my eyebrows 5 years ago, and throwing so many eyebrow pencils and liquids and trying out so many. THIS is the first and only product that I love SOOOOOO much. It's buildable, it's natural. it's easy and it draws on perfectly. I would definately repurchase it. Downside of it? Only available in Korea and shipping is friggin expensive.

16. Estee Lauder Pure Color Lipstick 88 Rubellite

This is one that I have to feature in because it is my first EL lipstick and also a first lipstick that was given by the BFF for my birthday as a present. I love the color, it's a shimmer purple. I usually go for a red or a coral, but purple is definitely a change.

17. NYX Round Lipstick LSS599 Fire Incendie

This is the favourite lipstick of the month that I use practically almost everyday. Can't wait to get the lipcream.

19. AVENE Hydrance Optimale UV Legere

I have this in a trial size because i wanted to give the Avene skincare range a try since I love their miracle water. This day moisturizer is amazing because it's in a lotion form, it has SPF 20 in it. It's super light and water base. So it absorbs into my skin. Best of all, it's suitable for sensitive skin like mine.

So that's all for this month's favourite. Let's see what I will have in November. :)
