Assalamualaikum and hello!

I've been wanting to create an orange and brown smoky eyes with rose gold glitter and pair it with the new fake eyelashes I got from THE FACE SHOP  This is also a great opportunity for me to review the Gold Collagen Ampoule Foundation and FACE it Artist Finger Gloss. I've been using these two products for about a month and I can finally give out my thoughts on all of these  products. 

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone!

Today we are going to touch on how to save up when we shop necessities for our babies. As for me personally, the top 3 important items for Marissa is her formula milk, disposable diapers and her snacks. These three are the MUST buy items whenever we go groceries shopping. Marissa is now one and 2 months old so besides eating solid food, she also drinks her formula milk.

Assalamualaikum and hello!

It has been a long time since I went for facial treatments because I am very particular where I go to. I've had bad experience before so I always take extra cautions if I decided to treat myself a facial treatment. I always prefer facial massage as it helps to improve my blood circulation, but I guess a facial treatment to improve my skin's condition is crucial too. 

Assalamualaikum and hello!

Last weekend I had been one of the busiest weekend I had in months. Events, family stuff and so many things to settle before I go off next week. I managed to dropped by ICE Gallery in Pantai Sentral Park last Sunday to have  a "Good Coffee Day 2.0", organized by IJM Land.  What is "Good Coffee Day"?  Well the name says it all, COFFEE, COFFEE and more COFFEE. :D

Assalamualaikum and hello!

One of my favourite moments with Marissa has to be playing with her during her play time. Let's face it, she's toddler and all they do is play, am I right? :D It doesn't matter whether it's indoor or outdoor activities, as long as those experiences help her to grow to be curious, creative and smart. As much as I love indoor activities because honestly we spend most of our times in the house, but I really think kids can learn so much from outdoor activities.

I am in love with THE FACE SHOP new concept store which represents the 5th Generation concept. It's not just about the elegant classic and modern interior, it is also about the 'feel' when I step into the store. The bright lights, the products arrangement, as well as the beautiful and well-designed space will make any shoppers feel welcomed and happy.

I'm so sorry for being late in announcing my Play-Doh X Sabby Prue giveaway. Life has been pretty hectic! Thank you so much to everyone who participated, I really appreciate it. If you did not win this time around, don't worry because there will be more giveaway in the future! :) So the lucky winner who will be getting Play-Doh Rainbow Starter Pack & Shape and Learn Colours and Shapes is...

Gotta be honest that I've never really ventured into MONKI fashion because I've only been to the store once. Yes you heard me right. But, my oh my, where have I been? Not realizing how amazing their designs are is such a loss. Okay, I'm not being dramatic, but seriously there are more than 10 pieces of clothing that I wanted to take home during the VIP Night Party last friday. I am loving most of the apparel here and I managed to grab 2 pieces which I want to wear for my holiday next month. Stay tuned for my look book okay? :D And the pricing is not bad at all, plus with the good quality material, I'm hooked!

Assalamualaikum and hello love!

What is it that you need to know about facial serum? That it helps to hydrate, nourish, helps other products for better absorption and so much more. Face serum has better ingredients than any moisturizers or creams because of the active ingredients therefore serum is usually priced at a higher level. Face serum is to be applied after toner, before creams or moisturizers. But have you come across a serum that has to be applied after cleansing? Let me introduce you to THE FACE SHOP The Therapy First Serum.

Assalamualaikum and hello.

I finally get my hands on the ever famous Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate. Excited because I can now include it in my night routine. Lots of my friends has been raving about this product and how much it has change their skin condition. I want to know whether this is just a hype, or does it really work? I have been using this for about a week now and I know I will be continuing this until the last drop. Find out why.

My skin has been breaking out, which is rare. But I guess it could be my hormone due to my incoming period or maybe because my laziness in drinking water therefore my body could not flush out toxin out of my body.  It could be also because of our polluted weather, hmmm I can think of so many reasons actually. My chin area has these annoying tiny bumps and on top of that, my skin has been slightly greasy. I needed a solution, and I thank God I found it!

Assalamualaikum and hello.

Can you believe October is ending soon? Gosh, we are going to be in 2017 in just 2 months, crazy! 2016 has been amazing, but what's NOT okay is my skin has been acting out crazily this year. I don't know what it is, but my skin is dull, uneven and seems to be bumpy at times. And not to mention I've been on and off with flu and coughing at least every 3 months. 

Assalamualaikum and hello!

Assalamualaikum and hello love!

It has been a while since my last haul and today's post is pretty exciting because this is my first time shopping at Kiehl's! Okay so I have not tried anything from Kiehl's before (yes, shocking) but I actually have a list of products that I WANT to try out because I am influenced by my some of my favourite You Tubers. 

Okay guys, my baby girl is not so a baby anymore. T_T She just turned 1 year old last week and her growth has been amazing.  There are quite a number of things that she can do now, she even knows how to say "Daddy" but no "Mommy" yet. T_T Okay, I don't really mind it though because I can use the excuse to get some time out once in a while. *cheeky heh?* :P

I remember growing up with brands such as Hush Puppies. Back then Hush Puppies is all about the footwear and apparel. The designs were pretty much simpler and now they have stepped up in the fashion game and their collection is trendy, fresh and young!

Contact lenses is one of the most important things in my life. Without them, obviously I can't see very well. I have been a contact lens user for almost 15 years already and I have tried so many brands. Some are more comfortable while others are just tortures. T_T

Assalamualaikum and hello.

Remember how I constantly talk about my body insecurities? I know pregnancy will leave with the extra weight but oh man, I would never thought that it will be so difficult to get rid of my excess weight. I was around 49/50kg when I found out I was pregnant. Through out my pregnancy, I gained 15kg in result I was 65kg. Scary, yes definitely. 

Assalamualaikum and hello.

Good news to all Estee Lauder fans! Do you know that Estee Lauder has a stand-alone counter in IOI City Mall in Putrajaya? You can now play around with makeup, skincare and even perfumes with your friends or you can even ask the beauty consultants to help you out if you need anything. 

Don't you find it this bag is super cute? I tried out a few bags in Carlo Rino and I must say their collection now is different to what I'm used to seeing. Their collections are now fresh, young and in trend! I might see myself getting this bag, should I, shouldn't I? :D

Assalamualaikum and hello.

I have been posting about these 3 face cream by THEFACESHOP throughout September on my Instagram and I finally have my own verdict on these cream. I always tell my readers that moisturizer or day cream is super important because we don't want fine lines and wrinkles on our skin, right? So I took my time and review these babies for you guys, so lets' get started!

Assalamualaikum and hello.

KLFWRTW 2016 Day 2 was my first Fashion Week appearance. I remember getting my first invitation last year but I was pregnant and I wasn't in the mood to dolled up for events, so I had to decline. So this year, I am going to go, even just for one slot to see how does KLFWRTW feels. I was kinda excited to see what people are wearing to be honest. I noticed Malaysians are more open and more daring to wear any kind of style. I am not gonna lie that I was freaking out because I don't know what I would wear. I am not a fashionista even though I love fashion. My wardrobe really needs an upgrade, so I guess it's time to clean out my closet? Anyway I will upload a separate post on my outfit I wore on the day as today we are going to talk about Schmiley Mo by Diana Rikasari.

Assalamualaikum and hello.

My skin has always been sensitive but as I grow older, well hormones happened and my skin's sensitivity level has gone down quite a lot. Nowadays, I can usually use any type of skin care because I rarely get breakouts or redness. But when I do, that's when I know I have to stop using that certain product immediately. As someone who has gone through a lot of skin problems while growing up, skincare products for sensitive skin is something that I always look into because they are more gentle on the skin. When I received THEFACESHOP Real Blend range, I know I would love them because of the amazing ingredients in both of these products. Let's take a look at them, shall we? ;)

Assalamualaikum and hello!

To my hijabi friends, this post is dedicated especially to you! I am excited to share with all of you a new shawl brand that has been around since last year. To be honest, the first thing that made me fall in love with the brand the fact that the floral designs on the shawls are drawn by Lady Qomash's own founder, Ms. Liyana whom is a degree holder of Illustration and Animation from University of The West of England in Bristol, UK. The 'artist' side of her brings elegance, feminine and graceful feel to her designs. Art on shawls, why not right? I am currently in love with any floral patterns on shawls, and Lady Qomash designs is something not to be missed! 

Assalamualaikum and hello!

It's the weekend! Yeeeehaaaaa Saturday and Sunday is definitely my favourite days because I can have 'me' time at home. :D Why do I have to wait until the weekend? Well, my husband can take care of Marissa and I can do my self-pampering time, be it on Saturday or Sunday. For me, my weekend routine consist of massaging my face, removing blackheads, putting eye mask under my eyes and using a peel-off mask or mud mask (depending on my skin's condition). 

Assalamualaikum and hello love!

Today we are going to dive into Tarte Cosmetics, a brand that secretly has been in my 'to try list' for these couple of months. Let me tell you this, I am currently obsessed with the Tarteist Lip Paint and I already have 5 of them (3 full size and 2 mini sizes - kit). We are going to talk about 3 products from Tarte, including the lip paint. Let's get going! But before we start, if you are not familiar with Tarte Cosmetics, all of their products are formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate and gluten. These products are also dermatologist tested.

Assalamualaikum and hello love!

Today is a dedicated post on a serious topic, breast cancer. Ahhh, it is a topic that shouldn't be taken lightly because as women, we should surround ourselves with as much information as we can. I am not gonna lie and say that I regularly check my 'twins' because I am simply scared. Scared if I find out something is wrong. But truth to be told, it is something that every women should pay attention to to avoid any misfortunate event in the future. Besides going to the hospital Mammogram, we can check them ourselves at home, during shower time. 

Assalamualaikum and hello!

Althea got to be my favourite online store for Korean beauty stuff.I always discover new products to try out from Althea and to be honest I am grateful to came across this amazing online store. Last month I did a blogpost on the #AltheaTurns1 contest and this blogpost is about the party to celebrate Althea's 1st birthday! Does this mean Althea is the same age as Marissa? :D Okay so I don't want to talk so much in this post, let the photos do the talking, enjoy! :)

Assalamualaikum and hello.

Today we are going to talk about my favourite part of makeup, foundation and concealer. I am a base junkie and I am up to try any kind of foundation and concealer because I think base is one of the basic thing that everyone should pay attention to. Today we are going to take a closer look on Bourjois City Radiance Foundation and Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer. I have been testing out both of these products for about 2 months now, and it is safe to say that I have finally come to a conclusion how I feel about these two. Let's start!

Assalamualaikum and hello.

Just a quick post to congratulate Sephora Malaysia for it's 5th Anniversary!! Yeahhhh I went to the celebration party several weeks back and I had tonnes of fun with my girlies. It's all about beauty, makeup, selfies, and basically it's a night of fun girly night! The party was held at KL Live Centre and the venue is crowded with beauty lovers. Here's to Sephora Malaysia, I hope that Sephora Malaysia will continue to prosper, and bring in more brands into the store. Can't wait for more great things from you! :D 

Assalamualaikum and hello!

I am very particular with my sunblock because I don't like sunblock which is heavy on the skin, leave white cast and greasy. I don't have any favourite sun care products because it is hard to find something that fits my preference. Until about 3 or 4 weeks ago, I discovered a new sun care product and it is safe to say that it is my favourite now.  THEFACESHOP Natural Sun Eco Ice Air Puff Sun SPF50+/PA+++  is a sun care product that contains purified extract of Sunflower Seed extract that protects the skin from UV rays that could damage our skin. It is formulated without paraben and phenoxyethanol that can be harmful to the skin. 

Assalamualaikum and hello!

Assalamualaikum and hello.

I want to share quick update about the latest Lancôme outlet in IOI City Mall, Putrajaya! They finally have their own beauty kiosk located at G-K3 (Groud Floor), the same floor as Sephora. *hehehe* I have been to IOI City Mall for 3 times and I kinda like the mall because there are so many stores and so many choices! *hahahaha* Well just letting you know from a shopaholic point of view. :P But I really suggest coming to this mall during weekdays because this mall usually packed on the weekends. I was there at 10.30 a.m and the place was literally empty. :D I just wished that I have more time that day so I can shop more. 

Assalamualaikum and hello love!

I gotta admit, being a new mom has changed so many things about me. Well, lets just put aside my body shape. T_T My face has been so round and chubby due to the increase of my body weight. I've seen quite a number of products on how to have sharper feature and that V shape face but I don't think I have come across anything promising. It's not just about the face, bigger eyes is also a favourite feature among Asian women. Okay so bigger eyes is not my concern because I already have that feature  but I definitely want my eyes to be less puffy, less fine lines and no eye bags.  CLARINS Shaping Facial Lift range has 3 products that can get you that V shape face and bigger eyes. 2 new products joining in the existing Shaping Facial Lift Serum is the V-Facial Intensive Wrap and Enhancing Eye Lift Serum. There you go, a complete facial reshaping program for that perfect V-face contouring approach.

  CLARINS Shaping Facial Lift Serum  

Size/Weight/Volume : 50ml

Price : RM310 

  CLARINS V-Facial Intensive Wrap  

Size/Weight/Volume : 75ml

Price : RM240

Our face can look puffy and swollen due to several reasons.  The main reason is because of the excessive water flow that leaks from microcirculation due to the fragility of blood vessels can lead to the inability of the excess water to be absorbed or drained by the lymphatic system. As for me, lack of sleep and my sleeping habit is definitely worsen the entire situation. I can't help it but this is just the way it is. CLARINS  V-Facial Intensive Wrap will de-puffs intensely and instantly through these amazing plant based ingredients!

Zerumbet Ginger & Escin from Horse Chestnut

Help reduce facial puffiness immediately

Beautyberry Extract *NEW

Reinforces the microcirculation to limit leakage

Lady's Mantle extract

Delivers an instant radiance boost

Kaolin

Matify the skin

You need to apply a thick layer on the lower part of your face and neck on a clean and dry skin. Leave it for 10 minutes. At the 7th minutes do these steps for better result :

1. Place the left elbow in the palm of right hand and place the chin in the palm of the hand.

2. Gently move head to the left. Relax the weight of the head for a few seconds and repeat 4 times

3. Repeat these steps on the right side of the face.

After you are done with all the steps, rinse of the mask with cool water. You can immediately feel your skin tightens and lifted up!

  CLARINS Enhancing Eye Lift Serum  

Size/Weight/Volume : 15ml

Price : RM250

Through the research done by CLARINS  they identified 3 main characteristics of Asian eyes which are smaller eyes, darker eye contour and thinner eyelashes. To combat these 3 problems, this eye serum is is dedicated especially for Asian eyes to have bigger and more contoured eyes. For bigger and bolder eyes,  Guarana extract helps to release excess fat while Zerumbet Ginger extract helps to de-puff the excess fluid. Kaki extract will immediately lift the eyelid to make the eyes bigger.  For reducing dark circles, Escine from Horse Chestnut is used while Lady Mantle's illuminates the overall eye contour.  For thicker lashes, Panthenol is included as it has Vitamin B5 to reinforce eyelashes.

I actually have been using this eye serum for 1 month and I do feel that my eyes are more hydrated.   As far as the dark circles, I think I need to continue using it because there is not much of a difference.  I would continue using this eye cream simply because of the hydration purpose. And also I would love to see whether this eye serum will lift up my eyelids. 

For a total relaxation, you can experience CLARINS Total V Face Shaper Face Treatment at CLARINS boutiques! This 75 minutes treatment includes 25 minutes "Shaping Sculpt Massage" bu using the new V-Facial Intensive Wrap with the CLARINS Pro Refreshing Lift Mask.  Enhancing Eye Lift Serum and the CLARINS  Pro Shaping Facial Lift is also used in this treatment. All CLARINS Beauty Therapist is 100% trained under CLARINS manual method, so rest assured that you will be well taken care off! :) CLARINS Total V Face Shaper Face Treatment is priced at RM365 for 75 minutes. :)
