A quick revisit
Hola everyone, just wanted to do a quick re-review on some items I bought a while ago and has been using.
Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner
THE BEST eyeliner I have ever used. I used this last Friday while cleaning out our office container (big metal things that people store all sorts of shit inside) and sweated crazily under the hot sun and guess what, my eyeliner did not move an inch. Ahh me love love!
Deja Vu Lash Knockout
I would personally like a bat to knock this baby to the nearest dust bin. Wasn't all that great, hard to wash off, no volumising effect, no lengthening effect. Been using this for over a month and I'm still hating it. BOOOOO!
Etude House Precious Mineral make up essence
I LOVED the Etude House Precious Mineral BB cream but I absolutely hate this. This was given to me by my colleague with about 30% left *point to picture*, tried it and hated it. It makes our face oily. Not dewy, mind you but oily, even the driest foundation starts to slick off after a while and streak all over. It doesn't make the face glowing or anything fancy, it just makes our make up 'float' above our skin and after a while melts off. Gross.
Maybelline Magnum
Almost finish and I guess it really ain't too bad. Believe it or not, it's easier to wash off than the Deja Vu Lash Knockout and the Deja Vu one was suppose to be removed with just warm water. Many bloggers has claimed to like the Magnum better than the Collosal but I'll remain with my own verdict. The Magnum is good but I love the Collosal more. I don't have a lot of lashes and they are short but if given a choice of either volume and length, I'll always go for volume and there's where I differ from others.
Fasio Eyelash Primer
Forgotten the exact name since it has rubbed off from the sides. Loving this and it's finished. *sniff* It does make our mascara slightly harder to wash off but the effect is worth it. It's not heavy enough to weigh your lashes down,
NYX Long Pencil Liner
I'm taking this off my 'to sell list'. I have only used it for about a month and if you look closely, it's REALLY short, That's because I got a bad batch and all the eyeliner on the inside is 85% broken. I sharped it and it broke horribly. I used the proper eye pencil sharpeners and not just any sharpener and still it broke.
It's a good eyeliner because it's black enough and medium cream and doesn't really make me smudge but it broke so badly that I'll be ashamed if anyone bought it and went thru what I did.
Revlon Liquid Eyeliner
So far so good. I like the brush. It can run a little and smudge a little tiny bit but other than that it doesn't go MIA on me even after 6 hours.
Majolica Majora Pore something or another
If it wasn't for the casing, this would have gone flying as well. It's chalky. Not smooth and will probably only work if your face is starting to be so oily it's reflecting the sun. *Ahem* In simpler words, it'll probably work if you want to powder your oily nose. Don't use this to set your make up. It wasn't made for that, me thinks. Don't try to be as smart as me.
Victoria Secret Very sexy duo eyeliner
It belong in the rubbish bin. Enough said.
*This opinions are entirely my own and don't sue me just because I don't like some of the products. I R Poor.

Kern's and Elyn's gifts! Thank youuuu~
The weather has been absolutely perfect lately, it's cool and breezy and it's been raining. I love the rain.
Been feeling mighty lazy to update my blog after the whole Ganguro and Arabic look in less than 2 days apart. Yes yes, I wasn't exactly born very hardworking, I realized. *scratches ass and yawn*
Kidding, moving along, was out with Kern and Lawrence on Sunday for dinner since it was Lawrence's birthday that night and out of the blue, Kern said she bought a new lip balm for me and Elisa. I remember my shock. I went, "Huh? It's not my birthday, that just past! What's the occasion?" It's funny because Elisa later gave the exact same reaction.
Ta daaaa, green tea lip balm!
It's green! Much to my surprise and taste a little like green tea after all
She texted me back the next day saying to meet up in QB on Monday at 1pm. I couldn't sleep out of excitement and ended up waking late for our meeting. I act like a little kid sometimes, I know.
I've often write about Elyn and even knowing her for months now, I love here more and more everyday. I thank God that Elyn came into my life and for all the wrong things that I did in my past life, I'm happy that I must have did something right to have known her. She has been my shoulder to cry on and my wall of support as well as a mentor, a mother and best of all a superb friend.
After the chat we had, I had this immense burden on my mind and heart lifted. I sat there amazed at the feeling, I can't describe the feeling but I'm so thankful. It's like growings your wings once again and the soul feels so much lighter and you question yourself, why was it even such a big deal in the first place.
Why I was in shock because these are the things that I've been eyeing. The Etude House eyeshadow was something I had planned to get Elyn but since I'm late and she got to QB way before I did I never got the chance. The NYX lip colour was the colour I've been looking for. I've been on the search for a nude colour lipstick for years and Pumpkin Pie turned out a little too orange-y. I love Pumpkin Pie but it's hard to believe after so long, I've gotten the perfect nude lipstick. It totally inspires me to do a Smokey FOTD everytime I look at it. I'm so excited.
EcoTools face buffer was something, I'm so pleased and happy to get. Ever since my electric toothbrush I bought to scrub my face died, I've been left with...my hands. I've been loving them, You can read about them from Elyn's blog here.

MAC Mode Workshop + MJ Honey Pump Gloss
Left to right: BE155 and ED449; Ingredients stated
Left to right: Majolica's BE155 and RD449 swatch, BE115 on lips
Transparent coat + Glitter Silver
We were both advise to come bare faced to the workshop and so we did. Elyn looked great as usual even without make up, I was so envious! Then again, it was expected. It was a little embrassing for me to walk around in Gurney Plaza all bare faced and I didn't have the guts too so I put on a little of my Etude House Precious Mineral BB cream and The body Shop's shimmer wave and drew my eye brows a little. Ash the Vain Pot, I know. Still an achievement for myself since I would never really come out without my eyeliner usually.
Anyway, after a quick drink at Coffee Bean, we headed up to G Hotel to register in. While there, Elyn told me that she heard Enpointe was coming as well. Ooo, a suprise for me. Enpointe or WildBerry as I have known her before is someone I usually like to buy my sweetscents or MAC pigments from. Her service is super fast and she usually gives some nice samples out.
The EOTD I came up with using MAC Knight Divine and err.. other stuffs that the instructor came and put on
I must admit the truth, I felt extremely guilty that I actually bought the MAC mode workshop vouchers in the end. I had badly wanted to come and told my parents that so they ended up 'sponsoring' me and in the end of the day, perhaps I expect a little too much. I didn't learn much, I could have perhaps learn more if Elyn decided to do an EOTD on her blog or if she was the one up there teaching. I'm not exgerrating nor am I saying that the workshop was really bad but this is just my 2 cents la. If they have intermediate classes next time, perhaps Elyn should go and come back and teach the rest of us...

MAC Hello Kitty, MJ, Etude House in Pg, Ash the Confession Idiot
And E will do the follow up call. It's really that easy. Of course when the times does come, I'm usually too embarrassed to tell her anything. Sure we grew up together and all but my taste in guys hasn't been the best either. I'm easily attracted I admit, it's usually the little things that he does that catches my eyes or the way a guy laughs or how he smells. And it's usually E who snaps me out of the moment of fancy and back to reality. It's usually harsh for a good reason but that doesn't mean it's always easy to swallow.
E : So what was it about?
A : *pretends to derail conversation due to embarrassment*
Hey do you know that Ian refuses to answer my call or even call me back? That idiot.
A few minutes of derailment
E : What was it that you want to rant about?
A : Uhhh.. what we just said earlier?
Seconds of silence
E : is it regarding a guy?
A : ... yea. I got a crush on someone
E : Is it xxx ?
A : YEAA, how do you know?
E : I could sense it, remember what I said when you got the muffins...
And so forth, it's so odd. The other part is that I never really know how to open my usually big mouth and tell the person. I do remember that sometimes crushes remains crushes and nothing more. But still, sometimes it's still fun to have them.
Bought everything I needed the last trip to SP so...
3 days after Etude House opened in Pg, me and E went to take a look, there wasn't as many people as I would have expected but still finally EH is finally here! We saw the diary and badly wanted it and since we had to spend RM30 to be able to buy the diary for RM9.90 we walked and browse around for a good hour before deciding.
I ended up getting the Mini French nail polish in gold, 2 eye shadows as a gift for a friend, a teal green eyeliner that I saw and fell in love with. I was going mad wondering what the hell else to buy! E got a lot more and in the end, we left with 3 diaries and a free bag that generous E gave me.
A few weeks back, as every MAC lover would remember, MAC Hello Kitty launched and sent everyone into a frenzy. I went there on the day it was launched after work and by then believe it or not, the Hello Kitty brush holder set was already SOLD OUT!
I browse around and there was so many people around that I didn't have all too much time and space in browsing. In the end I could only pick out a lipstick, Big Bow and a blusher Fun & Games. It was only after I paid that I noticed people carrying this HK polyester bag. It turned out that we needed to spend over RM300 to get one free! I wish someone told me earlier then I would have waited to see if E wanted anything and get it at one shot. Too late.
We met up with Elyn a few days later as I wanted to get the Tahitian Sand beauty powder but lo and behold, everything except the palettes and nail colour was left! There goes the beauty powder! Knowing how much I wanted the polyester bag, Elyn gave us ( me, E and Kern) hers! Imagine that! My jaw dropped to the floor when she passed us the bags! Yay!

My happy stash
In the end, I don't regret getting it. I really like it! The compact is a little hard to open and it only comes in one colour but other than that, it's really nice to use. It covers the pores nicely. The compact is also so pretty to look at, whee! Added bonus.

Reviews on castor oil, ZA Vitamin Lips, Palmer's Dark Chocolate Lip Butter
Fast forward, I have to admit that I'm really lazy to put it on my eyelashes and I've used it lets says less than 7 times. E has the problem of the oil entering her eyes and causing her blurred vision while for me, I use it sparingly, maybe a little too sparingly that's one reason I don't get the problem and any results. LOL.
A while back, E chance upon a person selling castor oil online in a forum. Not to be mean or anything but I just had to quote out this person;
She mentioned that she had troubles searching for castor oil and out of desperation, had wanted to order online and pay international shipping. Finally found a shop that sells, which is always out of stock and waited a month just to get her bottle and now wants to share it with everyone!Awww, that's sweet. It really is. Oh, and the person was selling it for RM5 for 10ml (COD) or RM9 for 10ml (Pos Ekspres).
Problem is castor oil is easily available in almost any Indian shop along Little India. It's never out of stock since they apparently use it for cooking and had the shock of their lives when me and E told them we wanted it for our eyelashes. Just thought that I should point out that me and E bought an entire bottle for RM3. *cough* and that's the bigger, better quality one rather than the smaller, crummy packed RM2.
Anyway she was unable to provide pictures of her own eyelash since she has a pretty bad camera so I thought "Hey why not, I try this experiment myself!" I'm sincerely interested in seeing the results myself so what the heck, but due to my laziness, the results were a little disappointing. I guess I have myself to blame.

Left to right: Before and After. Click on pic to enlarge,
Gosh, I'm so embarrassed of these two pictures >.<
Onwards ho, mates!
Next up, bought this when I was a little desperate for lip balm for my lips. It was NOT very convenient to carry out my Perfumeria Gal Madrid lip balms so I had to buy one which is easy to carry out and Ta-Daa, saw the ZA Vitamin Lip at Watsons at RM14.90 for 2! My mom wanted one too so this was great. Thinking back, if it's too cheap to be true, it probably is. Damnit!
Item: ZA Vitamin Lip
Price: RM14.90 for 2
Where: Watsons or any local drugstore
Descirption on the front: Lip treatment infused with Pure Vitamin C keeps lips looking healthy and smooth. SPF 26. PA+++ UVA/UVB
my 2 cents on it;
Believe it or not, when applied, it has a very salty taste. I'm not sure whether it's because of the pure vitamin C or whatever but I can't stop myself from licking it! Not that it taste good or anything but it's just something I couldn't stop myself from doing. Because of that, I'm not sure if my licking made my lips dry or because of the lip balm that my lips peeled... like an orange. Okay, exaggeration on that part but my lips peeled.
I asked a friend if she had the same problem when using it and she said that hers became dry but it didn't peel. So if there's anyone out there who's thinking about buying this, save your money and buy Vaseline instead, cost about RM5 for a bottle to last you a life time.
But if there's any reviews or comments from people who has bought and used this before, feel free to post up, I would like to hear your reviews!
Pro: Contains SPF, cheap, small and easy to carry
Cons: Made my lips peel, taste salty
Would I repurchase: Hell NO!
Because of the failure of ZA Vitamin Lips, I had to buy another lip balm, so I ended up with this instead. Palmer's Dark Chocolate & Peppermint Lip Butter, sounds YUMMY!
Item: Palmer's Dark Chocolate & Peppermint Lip Butter
Price: RM14.90
Where: Watsons or any local drugstore
Description on the front: Softens & soothes lips, adds subtle gloss
my 2 cents on it;
Hmm... it states that it gives us a slight tingle when applied which is about true for about 3 seconds. So since it did say slight, so fine. The dark chocolate and peppermint smell is heavenly, it's unfortunate that it doesn't last very long, it sorta fades a way quite quickly after application. While it does sooth our dry/chapped lips, its because it pretty much vaseline. I'm really not kidding, it's good and all but I once applied it to sleep and the very next morning, upon waking up, I woke up with vaseline like substance in terms of smell and texture on my lips.
Pro: Smells heavenly, nice subtly gloss
Cons: Feels and taste like Vaseline after a while, smell doesn't last long
Would I repurchase: Yes only because it's convenient, No because Vaseline works the same. So it depends on my desperation level then.
A round of applause please, the ZA compact fits into my MJ compact quite nicely.
One thing I love about ZA is the two- way foundation powder. Comes with SPF 20 PA ++ UVA/UVB. I tend to wait till there's a special promotion when it sells for 2 for only RM49.90 rather than the usual RM33.90 for one. Hee~
To date, it never fails to make E compliment my skin as it smooth out my skin way better than most foundations I use and the coveraage is pretty good. I use colour number 21 and it's super natural on me, Ahh, love love love it. Cheap and good. *Muaks*
Only con about it is that ZA turquoise compact casing is butt ugly, but now that it's confirmed able to fit into a MJ casing, it's no longer a problem. For me anyway.

Majolica Majorca
It's been a boring yet weird week. A few mind blowing incidents and a hell lot of predictable stuffs, the only thing that I kept in mind to give myself motivation was that Majolica Majorca was launching in Penang on Thursday. How exciting is it? MM is finally here in Malaysia after waiting and dreaming of it! To the guys out there, you're probably scratching your head wondering what the hell is MM, well here's a brief intro;
'Majolica Majorca is a tremendously popular makeup series from Shiseido, it's aristocratic packaging is beautiful, creative and attractive. With quality cosmetics and affordable prices, Majolica Majorca is one of the most popular lines of all things Shiseido.'
In a nutshell, it's a sub brand from Shiseido and it's pretty much at a drugstore brand in Japan like our Loreal, Maybelline and stuffs.
I'm happy because now I don't have to buy any of the OVERpriced MM stuffs in forums. The pricing in the forums are crazy with mascaras ranging from RM60+ and now we finally know that it actually cost about RM46. Taking shipping into consideration and still having to pay for the postage to our house, buying one MM mascara online can easily cost you a pretty penny, if you get my drift.
I'll include the swatches and pricing for all their available products in the blog so anyone/ everyone who's interested. I didn't manage to head there on Thursday but Friday after work was good. Since it was Watson, nobody gave a damn and I could take all the swatches I wanted. MUAHAHAHAA.. [insert evil laugh]
