Marble Nails

Just a quick note to everyone to please do not compare me to Pursebuzz or whatever you see on Youtube.
  1. I'm not that great.
  2. I don't own that many cosmetic as they do
  3. I do not own a make up cert. unlike Elisa
  4. Their style of make up may be considered a little 'too much' over here in Malaysia
The EOTD that you see on my blog is something that I've tone down significantly to suit our Malaysian style. Nothing overly dramatic and something wearable for daytime and to work, because most of the looks you see on my blog is indeed something I wore to work.

I do admit that the colours and technique they use in those make up blogs are jaw dropping beautiful but think about it, if we put on 'too much', people mistake us as 'pancake' face office ladies better known as OL or Drama Llamas or even worst, they'll ask you if you're a hooker. This is unfortunately the Malaysian thinking. *sigh*

That aside, was browsing through Youtube when I came across this girl teaching a very unusual nail technique. It was in Dutch so I didn't understand a thing but from the looks of it, it looks simple enough and I thought I'll give it a go.

Go ahead, laugh, I know I did!

Since it's soon to be the Fall Season, I decided to put in brown, golds and purple and mix this three colours together. Well, I had a good laugh while doing it, seriously. It was really messy but I had fun doing my own nails. I'm happy that it's really easy to do by ourselves.

Mine came out really messy looking and I'm not too happy with the colour combo but since it's just an experiment, oh well.

Ohh, happy days or shall I say, 'Pokai' days are here again (Pokai = broke)

M.A.C Sonic Chic, Electro flash, Starflash and New View all launched yesterday night at Gurney Plaza, Penang and as usual I received no sms. So imagine my surprised when I strolled in and ta-daa, they were all sitting prettily there! WOO-HOO!

The only thing my eyes saw was the Mineralize Skinfinish Duo! And here it is in medium /natural and shimmer

My eyes were instantly attracted to the New View's Mineralize Skinfinish Duo that I failed to see the Starflash collection which I was eyeing the eye colour, Dreammaker, Grand Entrance, Mink & Sable and the Smoke & Diamonds. So I guess I'll be heading back to M.A.C soon.

Thing is, I'm a little nervous about the colour of the
Mineralize Skinfinish Duo that I bought. They had it also in light medium/ natural and shimmer. I'm already using the lightest colour available for their foundation so I'm not too sure how wise it is to choose the medium colour instead. But since the regional manager chose it, she can't be wrong right *raise an eyebrow*

That reminds me, the Electroflash's Love Connection is beautiful, if I have any extra ka-ching, I'm gonna go get that one. Wish they launched it nearer to my birthday. ARGHH!

Oh, just so you know, Cult Of Cherry might be launching at the end of this month. Do give them a call closer to the date to confirm. KL will be doing a big launching so if you're there, do go take a look and come back and tell me all about it :D

Other junks that I got while walking into Guardian and Watsons. The thing about us girls is when we have a bit of money left, we tend to go buy every junk that catches our eyes. T.T Someone stop us!
Palmer's Cocoa Butter, Elianto nail colour in my fav. colour, Turquoise, Nair Easiwax (LOL), Watson's Facial Mask

The Palmer's Cocoa Butter was a good buy since they were doing a 3-days promotion thingie. I got it for only RM19.99 and it came with a free Body Gloss! I HEART body lotions. I can never stop buying them. I don't know why, I just do.
I have ... I think I better not say or I'll really kick myself for buying what I just did. I also have a thing for soaps, don't ask.

*glance at her 3 bars of Crabtree and Evelyn Lavander soaps, 2 bars of Mango exfoliating soap and 1 bar of Honey soap from Watsons and tries not to think of the rest in the bathroom
including her Charcoal soap*


The Nair Easiwax was an impulse buy. I don't have much hair but whatever hair I have annoys the shit outta me. If the hair is not on my head, I HATE it! That simple. But lets see how good this Nair Easiwax thingie is. Reviews coming soon!


Another impulse buy, a Heart and Moon pendant.
