I have not used any Kose products before and I was not sure if this will even work for me but I decided to go ahead with the purchase.<br />
<br />
Perhaps it was the greedy side of me that made me buy it. They were having some kind of package deal. Buy the mask and get a mini toner free.<br />
<br />
The set cost me RM89 for 80g of black colour mask that reminds me of the time I bought the Charcoal Mask from Daiso for RM5.<br />
<br />
That mask did nothing for my skin other than to remove facial hair and in the process probably removed dead skin cells and some cells as well.<br />
<br />
I am surprised I still have a face after using that mask.<br />
<br />

Well, this mask is much easier to remove but unfortunately after using half the bottle, I still have yet to see any results. I don't find my skin looking anything remotely clearer, whiter, even or any significant improvement.<br />
<br />
I am a little confused.<br />

Call me Black Beard. Arf!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yea, I am a little weird, I like applying mask to only half my face, I don't really find any problems on my forehead so usually I like applying it just on the lower half of my face.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's not recommended to do it this method because if the mask did work, I would have clear, white, even skin on the bottom and the usual patchy, rough, uneven skin on the top. And obviously when using peel of mask like this, it is never advisable to camwhore with BIG goofy grins in case you develop wrinkles. </div>
<br />
Nowadays, I stop being lazy and try to apply it to the entire face because it looks less stupid that way. Not very nice when you have your brother-in-law in the living room and you emerging from the toilet looking totally weird and silly. Thankfully Meowjesty's little brother is only home during summer vacation so he'll never see my silliness in its full glory.<br />
<br />
I am still using the mask and I am still waiting to see some kind of results but this has unfortunately been downgraded to 'Will not be repurchasing' category. <br />

For something that cost less than RM30, it took me a couple of weeks deciding whether to get it or not. Finally got it during a sale in Watsons.<br />

As I grow older, I'll be hitting the big 3-0 next year I realize that I have been buying lip balms and lipsticks to the red-ish side rather than the pinks that I used to love.<br />
<br />
I guess now that I no longer colour my hair, the red-ish colour brings some colour to my pale face. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The colour is buildable and can be quite red depending on how many swipes you do. For me, I just use one swipe on the lower lips before evening everything out. I am not comfortable walking around with red lipstick in the office. I just needed something natural for me.<br />
<br />

<br />
The staying power is not too bad. It last for quite a while and even when it fades a little, it leaves a slight hint of colour on your lips so it's not truly gone gone unless you just had lunch or dinner.<br />
<br />
As whether it is moisturizing, I would say that it doesn't feel as good as a lip balm on but not as bad as having a lipstick on. I don't know about you but I don't have much luck with lipsticks since I find them either dry or too oily.<br />
<br />
I find the MAC lipsticks drying and the Estee Lauder Crystal lipsticks nice and creamy but it last a good 5 minutes on me before I accidentally lick them off. Bah!<br />
<br />
I definitely think that the Revlon Balm Stains are worth the money, I use them everyday and I am not even halfway done yet. A pity I don't see any other colour that catches my eyes.hevnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10694629339664808014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5675572287729606529.post-16907704173192198012013-06-17T21:05:00.003+08:002013-06-17T21:29:43.527+08:00Worthy Book : Ladies Edition<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Just to explain, Worthy Book is a
book of vouchers. It’s priced at RM29.90 for over 110+ vouchers. In my personal
opinion, it’s a MUST buy book if you live in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Kuala Lumpur</st1:city></st1:place> since most of the vouchers are
for shops there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: center;">So why did I get it considering
that I am in </span><st1:place style="text-align: center;" w:st="on">Penang</st1:place><span style="text-align: center;">?</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I look for the ones with shops all
over <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Malaysia</st1:place></st1:country-region>
like <b>Sasa</b> which offer the b.liv silk mask for RM4.90 each.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I knew the <b>Himalayan Herbal Healthcare</b>
20% off vouchers would interest some of my colleagues since they swear by it.
Gonna share the vouchers with them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tilley vegetable soaps from
<b>Skinlab</b> at Queensbay Mall at RM5 sounds
good to me. I love soaps!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you live in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kuala Lumpur</st1:place></st1:city>, do cut out the 20% off all
<b>Timeless Truth Mask</b> and go get it! The masks are the BEST masks I have ever
used. I am so in love with their Collagen Mask. It works wonders and you have
got to try them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you have acne problems, cut out
the <b>New York skin solutions</b> FREE 1 treatment (worth RM400) + 1 product kit worth RM 68 voucher
and use it. I am tempted to but thankfully my acne is under control. I am unsure how good they are so please do your research beforehand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One of the vouchers that really
caught my eyes that made me jump around happily was actually for <b>Slimming
Sanctuary</b>’s waxing. Not everyone’s cup of tea but for me it was my Earl Grey
Tea. My usual waxing cost me RM118 in Fluff, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Gurney</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Plaza</st1:placetype></st1:place>
but it was just RM68 in Slimming Santuary. Best part? There’s an outlet in
Kelawei. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; text-align: center;">Other than that, the vouchers for
XIXILI sound pretty good to me too!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There are lots of other vouchers
not mentioned here in Worthy Book that might interest you, the Sothys’ voucher
made me drooled crazy then cry since they didn’t have any flagship stores for
me to claim some free gifts from (No purchase necessary – my favourite words)<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In
the end, it is actually worth it if you find a voucher or vouchers that make it
worth your RM29.90. If you have been
using the brand for some time now and found a voucher for it with some
discounts then fine but if you go all out to buy that something because there
is discounts, I hope that you won’t overspend and get things you don’t really
need. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

We live in a greedy little world--<br />
that teaches every little boy and girl<br />
To earn as much as they can possibly--<br />
then turn around and<br />
Spend it foolishly<br />
We've created us a credit card mess<br />
We spend the money that we don't possess<br />
Our religion is to go and blow it all<br />
So it's shoppin' every Sunday at the mall</div>

<i>Meowjesty</i> frequently sends me articles touching on '<i>how people handle their finance and why people end up bankrupt</i>'. Not exactly everyone's favourite subject. I enjoy reading them but it usually leaves me with a sense of frustration.<br />
<br />
I don't consider myself the brightest person around and I have almost no willpower. There is NO such things as me sitting there looking at someone person eating - diet or not. I'll be helping the person polish off the delicious cake/ pie/ whatever but at the very least, I am living a debt free life with healthy account and some investments on the side.<br />
<br />
I don't buy things I cannot afford. I do not spend future money. Yes I can afford to get a couple of Hermes Birkins on my own with cash and then what, eat grass flavoured grass for the next few months? I don't think so!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>PETALING JAYA:</b> Shopaholics and poor management of personal finances -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
these best describe a good number of Malaysian consumers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On average, 41 are declared bankrupt every day, mostly due to credit</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
card debts, while every weekend, about five million throng the 300-odd</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
shopping complexes in the country.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fomca discovered that many of those declared bankrupt due to credit</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
card debts were below 40 years old.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"And they do not care about the consequences," said Fomca chief</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
executive officer Datuk Paul Selvaraj.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"In one of our surveys, we were shocked that many children did not</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even know where money came from," he said, adding that most replied</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"the ATM (automated teller machine).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"And, they do not believe that their parents have to work to earn</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
money," Selvaraj added.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Low said while some people shopped, claiming it to be therapeutic,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"the truth is, it is not necessarily based on need".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See said handling personal finances was something the young had to go</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
through themselves to gain experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some 60% of young consumers were already in debt, Fomca said at a</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
separate function here yesterday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"And, 72% of young adults have no retirement plans."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Nobody likes to read anything that long so basically the whole gist of is it that;<br />
<br />
1) An unhealthy amount of kids thinks money either comes from the sky or grow on money trees. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(If you have a kid like that, smack them, or better yet smack yourself for not teaching them)</span><br />
2) We all shop too much.<br />
3) We buy things we cannot afford <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Hellooooooo Chanel!)</span></i><br />
4) Youngsters don't think much about being bankrupt.<br />
<br />
Marrying someone rich is ideal but according to Meowjesty, the rich unfortunately make up a small percentage of the population. You had better look like Ziana Zain <i>(I have no idea why he said her)</i> if you want to snag a rich person.<br />
<br />
First off, some girls<i> (kindly note the word 'some')</i> are spending tons of money on cosmetics. I have read of some that frequently finish their monthly pay on skincare or cosmetics that even I can't afford. Worst, it doesn't happen once in a blue moon when we feel like treating ourselves but rather every month. Do they have savings?<br />
<br />
<b>Q: Why do you care how I spend <i>my</i> money? You ain't my mom!</b><br />
<b>A:</b> It's not my job to control your spending but having some self awareness helps to keep you away from debt that might eventually burden the people you love. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(People who financially burden their loved one with their uncontrollable spending have the same status of a cockroach in my eyes. Hah!)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
Say YOLO and I'll smack ya :D<br />
<br />
It's none of my business what you buy or how you spend your money but if you keep thinking that your parents will bail you out anytime, your thinking will be the reason for your down fall.<br />
<br />
What happens when you decide that you can't pay off your debts? Declare bankrupt? What happens when you become a bankrupt in Malaysia?<br />
<br />
1) Give up all your belongings and assets<br />
2) Not allowed to open bank account without approval from Director General of Insolvency (DGI)<br />
3) Not allowed to travel overseas. DGI will hold on to your passport.<br />
4) Not allowed to do any business or become a company director or management.<br />
5) A certain percentage of your monthly income goes to the DGI to pay your debt off.<br />
<br />
To sum it it simply;<br />
<br />
NO honeymoons to Paris! Or anywhere out of Malaysia to be exact. Not that it is the end of the world but don't we all have dreams of going somewhere romantic for our honeymoon? Not to mention the cheap Chanels and LVs waiting for us there!<br />
<b>Sacre Bleu!!</b><br />
<br />
The way to stay out of being in a debt is easy.<br />
<br />
1) Spend cash. I personally find it easier to keep track off. If the money in my wallet finishes. I am done for the month.<br />
2) Spend within your means. If you are buying that LV you saw just to show off, you need to go to the nearest wall and bang against it 3 times. If the urge remains, bang it a further 3 times.<br />
3) Save at tleast 30% of your pay.<br />
<br />
Like Warren Buffett once said, If you buy the things you don't need, you'll soon sell the things you do.hevnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10694629339664808014noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5675572287729606529.post-55173739546089862402013-03-02T23:21:00.000+08:002013-03-03T13:57:58.186+08:00Timeless Truth Mask - Collagen Bio Cellulose Mask<br />

Got to know the mask through a friend on Facebook. I went through the testimonials and reviews before deciding to give it a go. I'm glad I did.<br />

I do not have flawless skin, not even something resembling good skin. I still have my battle scars of yesteryear and pigmentation. My skin is uneven with big pores and is patchy up close.<br />
<br />
<b>Don't say I didn't warn you.</b><br />
<br />
I may not be the type to read instructions but I do read online FAQs so I knew what to expect when I first open the mask.<br />

The packaging for the Collagen mask is the thickest and heaviest I have seen.<br />
<br />
The collagen mask is sandwiched between two sheets of protective layers. I am not surprised, the collagen mask is very fragile and tears easily.<br />
<br />
Had a staring competition with a turkey during Chinese New Year and lost the match. The turkey neck was disturbing. El cheapo me used the two protective sheets (which were soaked with the serum) to cover my neck area like a scarf.<br />
<br />
I remember reading tips on how to put on the mask so thankfully I didn't tear the mask in half ala Phantom of the Opera style.<br />
<br />

My stupid fake eyelashes were stiff enough to poke through the collagen mask much to my despair. If you are wondering why I didn't remove my falsies prior to all these, the falsies are bloody hell glued on and can't be removed for the next one month.<br />
<br />
It is one of those days when my better sense of judgement goes on holiday.<br />
<br />
The mask has a somewhat strong floral scent which quickly goes away.<br />
<br />
My first impression for the texture of the mask was, "Oh Nata de Coco!" I must admit it made me crave for Nata de Coco a little.<br />
<br />
I like the fact that the mask adheres to the skin nicely rather that the usual paper type that is halfway sliding off your face but still half clinging to your face for dear life.<br />
<br />

The serum leftover was amazing, I pour two palms full to wet my mask periodically and there was more left.<br />
In the end I found out it was good for 4 palms full. Nicee!<br />
<br />
Oh why oh why can't I look half as glamorous as the other girls do with mask on? I look like some weird freak with '<i>poh piah</i>' skin on my face.<br />

It has been four days since the collagen mask and my skin is still as moisturised. Am I surprised? You bet I am! No mask's effect have ever lasted this long before. My pores are still looking smaller and my skin tone less patchy. I am a convert, I am a believer! No more masks for me if it is not Timeless truth's.<br />

You might argue that it is because of the different cameras used that messed up the pictures. I don't think so, lighting perhaps since the lighting in my room is not good but it doesn't change the results of the skin. </div>

<br />
My 2nd trip to Japan in a year and this time was to Tokyo. Didn't do mad, crazy shopping there but it was still good.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our main intention was actually to visit Hakuba, Japan. It is about 2 hours via bullet train to Tokyo and an hour bus ride to Hakuba.</div>
<div>
<br />
Hakuba is a small, sleepy town during spring, summer and autumn but once winter arrives, the entire place comes alive! In Sir Knows-A-Lot's mind, it is the best place to ski. Niseko is just too crowded and tourist-y and since both Hakuba has the soft powdery snow as Niseko, it was a heaven for skiers. We went during autumn and it was beautiful. The mountains and the scenery was amazing.<br />
<br />
Arrived in Narita Airport and stayed nearby at the Toyoko Inn. The room was as usual tiny but clean and comfortable. We chose to stay in Toyoko Inn since it was close to the Narita Airport and not too far from the train station where we will be catching the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Hakuba.<br />

After the 1 hour bus ride where I feel asleep and felt as it I was magically teleported to Hakuba.<br />
The map of Hakuba area. It's a very small town that you can't really get lost in. Plenty of shortcuts and beautiful scenery. It's a pity the map was not that accurate. We got a better map later on.<br />

We stayed in Allure. It was a small B&B ran by an wonderful Australian couple. We were the only customers since it was '<i>off'</i> season. The rooms were about USD150 per night + breakfast.<br />

The entire town was eerily quiet since they don't expect people to start arriving till Winter but there was still a few restaurants operating. One of them was a Mexican Restaurant called Uncle Steven's. I never had Mexican food before. Sure I had some nachos in Chilli's but that hardly count right?</div>

Definitely should NOT have ordered that much! We didn't realise how big the portions were. We ordered about 5 dishes for a little under 10,000yen (RM400)</div>

We decided to head to the Tsukiji market on a Tuesday and when we got there it was surprisingly quiet. We found out later that Tsukiji market closes on Tuesdays.<br />
<br />
We couldn't believe our luck.<br />
<br />
So Sir Grumpy went looking for breakfast instead. He had something in mind and was eager for me to try. Upon arrival, Sir Grumpy ordered sushi set for 3,150 set of sushi. It was absolutely fantastic. the tuna was odorless and fresh.<br />
<br />
To me, Tuna has a very distinctive smell and taste of blood. Sir Grumpy explains that if Tuna is drained of blood properly, the meat wont have the distinctive order and taste. Interesting.<br />

For years I have always pestered Sir Grumpy about Uni (Sea Urchins) I have seen enough on TV to know that I wanted to eat them. They look so delicious! Sir Grumpy had always rejected my request because Uni don't come cheap.<br />
<br />
This time, he granted my request.<br />
<br />
Once was enough.<br />

We chance upon some seafood stall on our way back and the oysters called my name. I floated over in a trace to see all the lovely, fat oysters.<br />
<br />
I drooled. Sir Knows-A-Lot generously offered to pay for my oyster. I chose a small sized oyster and damn, it was the best oyster I have ever had in my entire life.<br />
<br />
The meat was fresh, slightly creamy, firm with a slight 'crunch' (no I didn't eat the shell) and my biggest regret was not emptying the stall.<br />

Ate at the Cococurry. A curry house that allows us to select the level of spiciness. Being the arrogant fool I was, I obviously choose level 9. Afterall, I have an unbelievable tolerance and love for chilies. Death sauce in Mexican Restaurants? No problem!<br />
<br />
<b>My farts could set my jeans on fire.</b><br />
<br />
I didn't know they use pepper to bring up the level of spiciness rather than chillis. I hate food with an overdose of pepper cause it numbs the tongue and all taste is lost. Well, it was like eating a bowl of pepper paste with some meat in it.<br />
<br />
It was spicy alrighty. I sweated and sweated.<br />

<b>Kumicky Eyeliner </b><br />

Haaa, this is the interesting part. I saw this in some shop and decided that it looks pretty interesting. It was slightly cheaper than my Dolly Wink at about RM40. It comes in only one colour; chocolate brown.<br />

Before you run to the nearest online shop to buy them, please do read below.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After the water test, I used them on my eyes a day after I bought the second pencil. <b>I absolutely regret it.</b> The eyeliner formula seems very '<i>watery</i>' and I found it extremely hard to get an even consistency over my eyes. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That is not the only problem. There has been many many times when I find my eyeliner MIA and it is frustrating! I will stick to my Dolly Wink and Etude House Oh my Eye eyeliner both being much better that this. This turned out to be my most regretted buy. EEW!</div>

We ordered the tempura set and it was delicious. Especially the side dishes and soup. Found the tempura a little too oily for my liking but it was still delicious!<br />
<br />
The wait for the food was horrendous. Unlike Malaysia, everyone waited patiently and never once demanded to know where and when the food was coming. They chatted, sipped beer and just waited. Amazing. We shamelessly asked the waitress about our food and kept looking at them. AHA!<br />
<br />
Narita airport's Hello Kitty shop. I saved all my money for this place!<br />

Bought some Hada Labo BB cream that has still not reach our Malaysian shores for Pinky Doodle Doo. (I bought this in my previous Kyoto trip and it turned out too dark for me so I gave it to my sister. She loved it) The Freshel BB cream can now be bought at Watsons (BAH!) and discounted Hello Kitty noted pad, eye drops for a friend, green tea latte, make up remover that came free with something or another that I have forgotten about.<br />
<br />
Overall this trip to Tokyo and Hakuba costed us much more than our trip to Kyoto, Nara, Osaka. The timing is one factor. We went in Autumn instead of winter. B&B in Hakuba are extremely expensive (to me anyway) and while Kyoto had a fantastic bus system, in Tokyo we mostly took the trains. Truthfully, I was much happier in Kyoto than in Tokyo.<br />
<br />
Sadly, we will not be going back to Japan again till 2014. we have a big trip coming up and since that trip is bloody expensive, we won't be doing any travelling for the rest of the year.</div>

This time I'll be going to Tokyo. The city of my childhood dreams.<br />
<br />
We'll be visiting only Tokyo and Hakuba - a ski resort (No snow yet though just to have a look around) will come back with the pictures then. Again, I am bringing along a limited amount of money, so let's see how I stretch it this time around since part of Sir Terrible Memory's birthday present this year is all the Choco Cro he can eat.<br />

Wanted to do the Little Twin Star nail art I saw on Youtube, lug all my things to Sir Terrible Memory's house only to realize I didn't own any flesh coloured nail polish. NOTD abandoned. Did the vintage rose as last resort.<br />

The Face Shop GR501<br />
Games Workshop Emperor's Children (Darker Pink) <br />
Games Workshop Changeling Pink (Light Pink)<br />

Was browsing through the shops in Little India when I spotted this. My initial thought was this was a nail colour but there was only black colour. What kind of nail polish line has only black? On closer look it turned out to be eyeliner.<br />
<br />
9ml - I'll be using it for years and years to come... <br />
<br />
Cost me a total of RM 9.50 <span style="font-size: x-small;">( I jokingly ask the shop keeper for discount and without a pause he told me RM 9.50 down from RM 9.90) </span>So I happily paid and left.<br />

The shorter brush gives me better control but even then my lines came out a little wonky.<br />
<br />
Pros: It's very black, cheap, comes off easily with oil base make up removers.<br />
<br />
Cons: No ingredients listed, stings bloody hell if you get it in your eyes, takes a very long time to dry.Will smear badly if you rub your eyes.<br />
<br />
Note the takes a long time to dry cause it really does. So far, I only use it on weekends when I have plenty of time to let it dry. Days I don't have to rush for work or rush off somewhere. So far so good.<br />

Knowing how much I loved nail polish, my colleague who left the company recently gave me her nail polish from Skin Food as a present.<br />
<br />
I have never bought any nail polish from Skin Food since I think they are a little pricy but the quality turned out pretty nice. In fact, much nicer than TFS. Application was smooth and easy and this colour thankfully wasn't streaky or anything.<br />
<br />
Will consider this brand when buying nail colours in the future.hevnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10694629339664808014noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5675572287729606529.post-31794082731504776532012-08-27T21:09:00.006+08:002012-09-20T18:54:26.163+08:00Stuffs about Biore OPI nail polish and more<span style="font-size: x-small;">*Edit: Ehhh, I spelt Biore as Biorel, sorry about that! </span><br />
<br />
I started blogging since 2008 and 4 years later I am feeling really lazy. I sit and wonder if I should even keep this going. In the end, I kept on blogging.<br />
<br />
I have an embarrassing confession. A while ago, Caryn from Biore message me on my email saying that she has left the company and introduced to me her new colleague. I didnt see her email till a few weeks later. By that time when I emailed the new girl, I think the new girl must have left too since my emails bounced back undelivered.<br />
<br />
In the email, the new girl asked if I could ask the winners of my Biore giveaways their home addresses. Something I felt uncomfortable in doing. I don't want to give my readers the wrong impression since home addresses can be something private. In the end, my emails never got thru.<br />
<br />
For those that never got an email or your gift from Biore, I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.<br />
<br />
I bought no new cosmetics and instead spent most of my money on OPI and China Glaze nail polish. Sir Stingy will freak if he only knew the exact amount.<br />

OPI in Malaysia cost a whooping RM60 (US$18~20) each and buying online is much cheaper for us. Online it cost us half the price.<br />

I used disposable nail brushes I found in Daiso. Yes, I love Daiso, 100Yen shop and whatever other Dollar shops out there.<br />
<br />
The brushes were slightly stiff and made controlling the brush a dream for drawing art on the nails and doing strokes and all. Unfortunately the brush "<span style="font-style: italic;">buka bunga</span>" or "<span style="font-style: italic;">open flower</span>" on me before I could finish my right hand which I painted last.<br />

It was messy, annoying, pain in the *toot* but the effect was worth it.<br /><br />I used Etude House Gold BR003 as a base then I layered it with Winmax Pedicure Nail Enamal (gold flakes) which I got for RM5 in Daiso.<br /><br />I think it took me roughly 6 layers of the Winmax gold flakes to cover the entire nail. My mistake was that I didn't wait for the layers to dry. By the 2nd layer I got lazy and that was my downfall. It look a veryyy long time to dry and I kept messing it up. <br /><br />Up close, it looks messy but from far, it was great. It sure got my a lot of compliments.

<br />
Truth be told, this is the worst I had since high school. It was painful, came in truckload and I had new ones every single day. I am used to pimples so for the first two week it didn't bother me too much but after that, I started panicking. I stopped all my 'new' skin care and revert to my sleep-on-the-towel-rather-than-pillow, using dermadex, putting on clay mask every single night, drinking coconut water to cool the body down, frequent washing of face and hair and vitamins. Thankfully a week after the routine and my face has gotten better.<br />
<br />
It's not everyday that I get a face full of pimples and better yet, six pimples in a row? That's a new record. The usual is just the 'Orion's Belt' that I can accept but six?! The nursery rhyme kept playing my my head every time I see them;<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mary Mary, quite a contrary, how does your garden grow?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With silver bells, and cockle shells</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And pretty maids all in a row...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It really didn't help with all my colleagues asking me what was wrong with my skin. It was so bad no amount of make up could cover the bumps everywhere. I'm ashamed but I kept peering into my little compact mirror at work tempted to squeeze the beejesus outta them.<br />
<br />
The cause of my pimples? Serum, the wrong kind of serum unfortunately. Took me two bloody good weeks to figure out what caused the pimples. I should have noted the fact that my forehead was cleared and only my cheeks and chin was affected (I used the serum mostly on my cheeks and chin and very little on the forehead)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Hopefully, I'll be able to do some EOTD that I miss so much soon and best yet, I have some cool reviews coming up.

After 6 months of looking like some middle age house wife, I made the appointment and I'm back to my usual bob cut.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCUOX4DWssy1RVsguBkoJkzrWQMGJkSZnM0NeGsPxlgG1Cw11idYod6xVOjWTBBf_R_-_1s3ogqy7duv3IOZFKBz7bgGCQPLXqdD-34Qb3rSKgW3oCoQe_XAyIUDSndBc51Vovy2SL1_D9/s1600/IMG_0076.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCUOX4DWssy1RVsguBkoJkzrWQMGJkSZnM0NeGsPxlgG1Cw11idYod6xVOjWTBBf_R_-_1s3ogqy7duv3IOZFKBz7bgGCQPLXqdD-34Qb3rSKgW3oCoQe_XAyIUDSndBc51Vovy2SL1_D9/s320/IMG_0076.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729395270180933506" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Not the most flattering picture but maybe that's cause I'm not very flattering looking in real life anyway :P</span><br /></div><br />Been having fun with my nails at least.<br /><br />Lets start with the one I failed<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMXSwdoeK6LHENUYKkoC09yDIf8EB39rLeN791J9fdUs5iq3htzzEOeJSNpSXQS3VQD9SyV3tKJrMuwzV-ycIShss6RrdFBJ9IXcQtrjPGM6BHCtugzo3nnIzC7wez-rmmzFfpgVBMmEEK/s1600/IMG_0005.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMXSwdoeK6LHENUYKkoC09yDIf8EB39rLeN791J9fdUs5iq3htzzEOeJSNpSXQS3VQD9SyV3tKJrMuwzV-ycIShss6RrdFBJ9IXcQtrjPGM6BHCtugzo3nnIzC7wez-rmmzFfpgVBMmEEK/s320/IMG_0005.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729397982001298930" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I imagined Hello Kitty and apples etc. Of course, it looked better in my mind.

To start, I used the 88 colour palette and used the colour marked below. I didn't want to use Turquoise as I'm forever using it. Apply all over lid then use the lighter blue and put it on the center of your lid only. Apply black and wing it slightly.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihKD_ckFu2cgUNu7ZlnWxXfolIAsIVqMlGPVmv4jsCD5l1MREb-W4K-SNbzJWJhVaW7tdPR7NqaN2C4KqhRTYEv_WIO-NV50tUSWFQq3PIxXuDw6YlIXlAUQPJunw2ambxF-ltNXqy2CUz/s1600/DSC01921.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 181px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihKD_ckFu2cgUNu7ZlnWxXfolIAsIVqMlGPVmv4jsCD5l1MREb-W4K-SNbzJWJhVaW7tdPR7NqaN2C4KqhRTYEv_WIO-NV50tUSWFQq3PIxXuDw6YlIXlAUQPJunw2ambxF-ltNXqy2CUz/s320/DSC01921.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717563630701479906" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />I've always known that the 88 palette is extremely chalky, the fallouts are unbelievable. I spent so much time wiping the black from my other parts of the face. Good thing I decided to put the foundation on last. I applied Mac Nylon to highlight below the brow bone and blend the blue together to create or in my case attempt to create a gradation. I apply black eyeliner to my water lines and liquid liner to the inner corner of my eyes.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfgFtNu2Obs9E3NSB4TnJ0UdWh5fCNyWVsXpWQsDQyyJE8V2mq1V1gkYSlAyRhJ-OBhdIIQMsnXG699q1MDQXJbBJJjZMznhL7Rp2NDTxKnymHxTUJnSh_901rKfwyhQQIp0LlJq_JvLGa/s1600/IMG_0042.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfgFtNu2Obs9E3NSB4TnJ0UdWh5fCNyWVsXpWQsDQyyJE8V2mq1V1gkYSlAyRhJ-OBhdIIQMsnXG699q1MDQXJbBJJjZMznhL7Rp2NDTxKnymHxTUJnSh_901rKfwyhQQIp0LlJq_JvLGa/s320/IMG_0042.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717557069204454866" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-xN4wub1ckG3XjHUfh0pc8J_d81RqkQ0PINM83GQhcqF2YBkVOmup2_xSEG0x3vYrQ8kkKnbhsLIVl9fvp_Uhp3m9Dppeiud56z3w_JYP_n81MQ6uue9QRrs7BnwPWziZ0eCxC-h9cgYb/s1600/IMG_0044.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-xN4wub1ckG3XjHUfh0pc8J_d81RqkQ0PINM83GQhcqF2YBkVOmup2_xSEG0x3vYrQ8kkKnbhsLIVl9fvp_Uhp3m9Dppeiud56z3w_JYP_n81MQ6uue9QRrs7BnwPWziZ0eCxC-h9cgYb/s320/IMG_0044.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717557074717578562" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">I look strange</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Foundation, as usual, el cheapo grabbed my now-almost-finished-and-extremely-expired Elianto stick foundation.

Oh well.<br /><br />For Christmas, I was inspired by my colleague's nails and decided to imitate hers.

Mostly because I'm in no mood to jostle elbows with a sea of rowdy strangers and because of the traffic jam. The traffic in Penang has been horrendous with plenty of people from outstation all coming home for the festive seasons jamming every nook and corner.<br /><br />Every eating outlet <span style="font-size:85%;">(good or bad)</span> is totally packed with people queuing for food. There are absolutely no parking spaces anywhere. It's frustrating to even go out and get stuck behind stupid drivers who can't seem to make up their mind where they want to go.

OH GOD MY EYES!' </div><div><br /></div><div>The main concern for a facial cleanser is no different from anyone, it had better remove medium to heavy make up, does not leave sticky residue and for me - the price is an important factor. <span class="Apple-style-span">(Yes, my middle name is <i>el cheapo, nice to meet cha</i>)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">So let's see how well it works</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZOccbaXknN_b6ZSQIQWTXRoQT8WdrefVNMu8b54wJcXXqjF-PPXquYDoBUp9G4N67VVlSvxZ7IZMkkp6bA1D9aKocWQ5gr8hQAdePFh5acYQBudi7QUaTeAVp3agxAyqCDEMUw38aJYbw/s1600/IMG_9747.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZOccbaXknN_b6ZSQIQWTXRoQT8WdrefVNMu8b54wJcXXqjF-PPXquYDoBUp9G4N67VVlSvxZ7IZMkkp6bA1D9aKocWQ5gr8hQAdePFh5acYQBudi7QUaTeAVp3agxAyqCDEMUw38aJYbw/s320/IMG_9747.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683777106713877026" border="0" style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGCcQQn0Ldf6wXEjbz37Ee38zRD60S5BHTLZ2iPEuHZc7FMoP8XyGsQdKrj93oCcHPBruRjGywKrjCpBs3-j1kXYVW2AkWVPL_dZDxrSJfVkmEegMaCmn7Oarp4fZ8ly1LA3PjEZSC5LXt/s1600/IMG_9749.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGCcQQn0Ldf6wXEjbz37Ee38zRD60S5BHTLZ2iPEuHZc7FMoP8XyGsQdKrj93oCcHPBruRjGywKrjCpBs3-j1kXYVW2AkWVPL_dZDxrSJfVkmEegMaCmn7Oarp4fZ8ly1LA3PjEZSC5LXt/s320/IMG_9749.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683777122303558962" border="0" style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Removed everyday make up without much scrubbing - check</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">No oily residue - check</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Removes pain in the behind mascara without cursing - check</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Doesn't require half bottle used to remove make up - check!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix809osr42V4UhI95ybgnVtH_0tDOMq-DRNNEJcWfWgticcx_3kQhajUcChyMhsuU9wwK5rOvrKOWu46WykNEs1SRVT526anOAYiRvNt8RqxnILJRzm6KDZi9_p18oNKtD9miNJKwS7nBc/s1600/IMG_9748.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix809osr42V4UhI95ybgnVtH_0tDOMq-DRNNEJcWfWgticcx_3kQhajUcChyMhsuU9wwK5rOvrKOWu46WykNEs1SRVT526anOAYiRvNt8RqxnILJRzm6KDZi9_p18oNKtD9miNJKwS7nBc/s320/IMG_9748.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683777118717295986" border="0" style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Amount used for whole face.
