Blog Challenge : Day 18 [Favorite beauty guru]

Assalamualaikum,

We've been over 17 days and now to the 18th, it's a miracle that I'm able to actually pull through until this far. The fact that I'm too lazy to make a scheduled post, I have to remember myself that I have a blog challenge to do.

So go on to our blog challenge. My favorite beauty guru would be, *drumrolls*

1. Michelle Phan

Well, she has her ways of wearing make-up, although I never really retrace her looks, I just love the way she makes her beauty tutorials, but I love all of her top tips of making the most of your make-up too.

2. Bubzbeauty

Let's just say that her beauty tutorials are more practical than Michelle Phan, though her beauty tutorials are consistently the same, but she made it creative by just adding a little touch to make it much more different. Kudos for her.

3. Pearldaisy

Out of all hijabi youtuber out there, I can say that Amenakin has a very creative way with her hijabs, she even started her own line of hijabs selling them through online stores. She's an inspiration for me, she made wearing hijab as a fun way to express your creativity.

4. Girguin

She's one of the hijabi gurus that I like to watch, as her tutorials are somewhat more practical to how I wear my hijab cuz I like to wear a pin to hold the hijab together under my chin.

Blog Challenge : Day 17 [Favorite fashion piece]

Assalamualaikum,

Hhmm, I don't know how to relate myself in this blog post, because (I guess I might've mentioned this before) but I'm not a big fan of having specific fashion piece because my style is usually plain and casual.

So I'm sorry for letting you down on this blog post.

Blog Challenge : Day 16 [Music you like]

Assalamualaikum,

Music, music, music. To everybody it's fairly easy on what genre I pick which is basically K-POP! LOL, even had my love's car bugged with Korean Music. I don't even really sing to Adele, Nikki Minaj and those American songs cuz I'm not a big fan of their lyrics/music video that shows explicit dance moves/acts that some people actually accepted as G-Rated. Weird, but then each to their own opinion.

Product Review : False Lashes from The Face Shop and Holika Holika

Assalamualaikum,

I've been contemplating whether I would use fake lashes or not, I mean, yeah I found that other beauty blogs that some of them wears this on a daily basis, which I find it very time-consuming? LOL. I never tried out fake lashes, with these two babies I bought, I never even try out to the outside world.

Sorry, I was playing the Sims Social when taking picture of these two falsies, hee :p

Blog Challenge : Day 15 [Photo of your favorite bracelet]

Assalamualaikum,

Shockingly, I don't have a vast collection of bracelet, though I'd like to collect but then, when I think about I hardly where any accessories unless it's on my hijab. LOL. My favorite bracelet would be..

Blog Challenge : Day 14 [Photo of hijab style that I'd like to try]

Assalamualaikum,

For today we're taking things differently as I'm not a big fan of hair-styling since it doesn't even matter, I only care about the healthiness of my hair but that's it. I don't care to perm/color it as it is forbidden in our religion. Anyhoos, talk about hijab style that I'd like to try, well technically I've tried it but were never successful with it, I mean, I can do a modified version of it, but I can never succeed to imitate the real deal.

Blog Challenge : Day 13 [Photo of favorite fashion/style icon]

Assalamualaikum,

So um, this is quite hard to pick, not because I have lots of favorites but I was drawing a blank when picturing this, I mean, I'm not much into having any specific fashion/style but when I think about it, there's a darling in Youtube that has inspired the way I dress and wear my hijab.

Assalamualaikum,

Okay this is the easiest one as I've mentioned it on my birthday wishlist, so there you go :p

Radley's Purple Helena Stitch Shoulder Handbag

Blog Challenge : Day 10 [Current fashion/style you like]

Assalamualaikum,

I'm not that big onto having to update myself with fashion styles, because I'm more of a casual-comfortable type of person.

So having to think about it, this is the styles that I would go for..

Blog Challenge : Day 9 [Favorite pair of shoes]

Assalamualaikum,

I was gonna slack off blogging today, since I've been writing a lot of post and mostly will schedule the blog posts on a later date, but then I realized, I haven't even prepared for Day 9 Blog Challenge, LOL!

So anyways, I've been mulling over and over thinking of what shoes are my favorite ones. It's hard you know, I may not have a vast collection of shoes and such, but I have enough to be confused about it but anyways, here it is!

Blog Challenge : Day 8 [Photo that made you laugh]

Assalamualaikum,

I've been searching for photos that can make me laugh, but of course, I don't know where to fine it so I could just look through at some of the pictures I've posted from the Laugh4gags website and pick one of the best. 

HAHAHAHAHA! I spent days laughing at this photo when I first posted this and I still find this photo very funny!

Blog Challenge : Day 7 [Favorite Animal]

Assalamualaikum,

Day 7 proven to be very easy as it asked you to describe your favorite animal, of course my answer will be cats! They're just pretty adorable :D :D don't you think? Hee, I once had a normal domestic cat named Honeystar (named after a cereal brand by the siblings ==' ) and I seriously loved that cat, and currently she;s missing for years already, she might even be already dead :'(

Random Ranting : Yes, it's another haul, so what?

Assalamualaikum,

After months of waiting, the Purederm brand has made it's way to Paloma again! I've been asking their SAs about this particular mask brand as their have a mask in Chocolate essence which I love so much, kept on asking when will they ship in these masks and asks them to inform me when they have it in store, unfortunately, they didn't text/inform me :( SO SAAAAAD. I think they know that I always visited their shop that they don't have to text/inform cuz they'll know I'll sooner or later know about this, but stiiilllll :( saaad!

But hey, I've seen stacks of masks being displayed at Paloma, at first I thought it was just Jasaengsu's or Montangue Jennuese sheet/wash-off masks, so I just pass-by the shop. Then realized the next day when I visited Paloma, it was PUREDERM MASKS! 

So gonna say HAJI MUKIM's phrase here, " HEY GADIS, I GOT THIS " LOL!

Blog Challenge : Day 6 [Anything Hello Kitty]

Assalamualaikum,

I'm not a big fan of Hello Kitty, but I think the cartoon character is adorable, so for the blog challenge's sake, here's a picture.

Picture courtesy of Musings from A Muse

I think the colors of the eyeshadow palette is nice and neutral, wonder if it's available here. With the make-up resources here, I'd bet there's none.

Blog Challenge : Day 5 [Favorite thing to do]

Assalamualaikum,

I've been mulling around, thinking, what is it that I like to do, so there's 2 things that I like to do.

1. Procrastinate

Who wouldn't love to procrastinate? Seriously, I am big in this thing, hey, I have a PhD in Procrastination. I like to put things off unless it's very important, this is so not good for my university life =='

But at least, I've been able to discipline myself to focus on something, only when I want/need to. 

2. Shopping

Enough said :p

Blog Challenge : Day 4 [Favorite Foundation]

Assalamualaikum,

So we're going on to Day 4 of our blog challenge, well, I hardly use any foundation, instead I use BB Creams for  foundation.

1. Holika Holika's Watery Petit BB Cream

Click review on the title.

This BB cream is my daytime BB Cream, I like this one because it's very long-lasting, although the bad side of this product is that it's too floral-scented, it might be a turn-off for people who doesn't like scented products, but I can actually stand it.

2. Privia's Anti-Ageing BB Cream

My evening BB Cream, I don't really like this BB Cream a lot, but then not wanting to waste it and bin it, I decided to wear it as my night time foundation, it's very good actually, it blends well and it doesn't give me any white cast but the problem with this BB Cream is that it's not long-lasting, I could have a streaked face if I didn't use my primer.

Blog Challenge : Day 3 [Favorite brush]

Assalamualaikum,

I recently bought  The Faceshop's 9p Eyeshadow brush and I just fell in love with it on my first application!

What I like about this brush is that it picks up my eyeshadows well and pretty even, the work prestige of this brush is better than my normal eyeshadow brush of unknown brand.

It also helps in saving time on applying makeup because I usually build the eyeshadow colors when I use my normal brush.

Blog Challenge : Day 2 [ Favorite Bag ]

Assalamualaikum,

This is the Black Soft Music Handbag that I bought from Debenhams, lovely choices of affordable begs and I asked my friend to buy and handpick the bag herself for me and I did made a review on this bag here

Blog Challenge : Day 1 [Favorite Eyeliner]

Assalamualaikum,

So on the first day is to show my favorite eyeliner. It's the Silky Girl's Double Intense Gel Eyeliner in 01 Black, this is actually my first gel liner and it does the work for me. I prefer to use a medium angled brush to line my eyes as it's prefect to bring it to a flick that I usually like on my liner.

It comes of of a faded black, but the color is buildable so you can give a few strokes to give it the intensity that you want with your eyeliner. 

The Swatch

Food Paradise : Fleur De Lyse Macaroons and Mochi Frozen Yoghurt

Assalamualaikum,

Oh Bunnnnyyyyyyy!! The new Mochi store opened a few weeks ago, I seriously like their frozen yoghurt and this yoghurt isn't actually mine, it's my friend's :)

Random Ranting : My Sheet Mask Collection

I'm just bored, but for updating's sake, here's pictures of my sheet masks collection, heee :p

Montagne Jeunesse and Purederm wash-off packs

The Face Shop

I had a bad reaction on the Vita C Mask Sheet, the mask sheet was pink and I don't know if that's the original color or not but then, the essence was stinging my face and eyes.

Tony Moly

I've used up all of my Tonymoly masks, because I find them to be nice, I seriously love their Cottony Essence Sheet Masks.

Holika Holika

The Holika  Holika masks are okay. I'm gonna try the Pearl Essence next

Jasaengsu

Jasaengsu's sheet masks are perfect for when you want to cool and de-stress your face

Guardian

Guardian sheet masks are just so-so.

Heee :)

Random Ranting : Busy

Assalamualaikum,

So just want to tell you people, that I might not be able to blog much this month, except for the blog challenge that starts off on the 15th, which pretty much consists of scheduled blog posts but I won't be able to pretty much handle and write reviews of the products that I've promised for.

Then again, work and Sims Social made me feel tired to blog or give product reviews, I apologize for that. Oh well, the way I'm talking is like as if I actually have any regular readers, LOL.

But anyways, here's a rare FOTN for you guys, don't get used to it, because I won't be doing a lot of FOTN/FOTD 

Can you actually believe that this FOTN is actually just a touch-up from my morning make-up, yes, not good for the skin but I only have a few minutes to get ready that night!

Now here's a small haul for me.

Baking Powder Crunch Pore Scrub [24 pouches]

The Face Shop's Fake Eyelash Glue and White Mud Nose Pack

Make-up Review : Holika Holika's Sample

Assalamualaikum, 

So for today, I'm going to make a make-up review for the 2 Holika-Holika's product sample I received upon buying more than $60 worth of purchase. I know samples are not to be trusted to actually be good enough to be reviewed but hey, it's a first-wear impression! 

1. UV Magic Shield Perfect Sun Cream with SPF 50+/PA+++

So went to the beach a few days ago and I actually realized that I'm out of sunblock cream, then I saw my sample stash and saw this product, grabbed it and pat it onto my face.

Pros:

- It has moisturizing properties

- It doesn't feel heavy

- When the cream is applied, it felt smooth and soft.

- When I sweat, I don't even sweat the product.

- It is long-lasting enough that I don't even get a tan. (I was on the beach on a cloudy day, but I get easily tanned just from the breeze)

Cons:

- This sample is enough for one application only :( :(

So yeah, I might buy this, but then, I'm not sure if this is good enough to apply make-up on cuz it's moisturizing enough on its own, so it might get too oily if I apply more make-up. Although a good product but I might not be purchasing this.

2. UV Magic Shield Make-Up SUN SPF45/PA++

Again, going to the beach to pick up shells and I actually found a live baby clam! Yippee! Saw big crabs and small crabs which I felt so disgusting to see cuz I'm not a big fan of things with more than 4 feet. 

The color of this cream has pinkish cast to it, when applied, it gave a white cast on my face, so I decided to use a little BB cream [Skinfood's Magic Science BB Cream] and also a mascara as my no-makeup look, a sample that I got from Paloma. It gave me a natural glow to my skin which I simply adore, so I might be buying the Skinfood's Magic Science BB Cream. 

Pros:

- Very moisturizing

- Smooth and supple when applied.

- Long-lasting enough [Again, it was on a cloudy day so it helped me in not getting a tan]

- Very absorbent, didn't even sweat the product.

Cons: 

- Gives a white cast [ that can be fixed with using a bit of make-up ]

So yeah, I can actually use this sample for two application as there is still some left. But I already have my eyes on this even before being given the sample. Yes, I am purchasing this cream!
