Random Ranting : I'm thinking about it

Assalamualaikum,

Did you miss my daily post with the blog challenge thing? No? Well, okay, lol! I'm just thinking about making beauty posts, like Skincare Routine, Makeup Routine that I usually do, though I might just post one or two post of my makeup routine, because I'm hardly the type to stray away and create make-up looks for any events, it's basically the same old neutral smokey eye look with winged eyeliner.

But I have tons of skincare routine that depends on how my skin condition is, although I have an acne-prone normal-combination skin, but currently it's dry. So yeah, I have to slab on two layers of moisturizer and I still think it's not enough! Also, skincare routine would range from, day routine, night routine and I also have an afternoon routine but only when I don't have any classes!

What about it? Should I post something like that for my blog?

Skincare Review : The Faceshop's White Mud Nose Pack

Assalamualaikum,

I think I'm very content and a bit on the mood to write reviews nowadays cuz I've already finished up 4 reviews that are scheduled to be posted up here. So here goes another one, I'm going to review on a skincare product from The Faceshop. If I were not mistaken, The Faceshop is the first Korean cosmetic shop that arrived to Brunei, am I right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

So I haven't bought a lot of things from The Faceshop, it's because I was a little intimidated by the bright white lights that they use for their shops, I don't know, I just felt that way. There was a liquid liner that I pretty much hate because the brush was a dud, the liquid liner smells horrid. Hopefully that liquid liner is discontinued, cuz I've bought that liner a few years ago.

White Mud Nose Pack contains White Mud (obviously!), with Burdock extract. This peel-off nose pack cleans and clarifies nose.

Direction for application: Spread the white mud over the nose area, including the sides of the nose, and leave on for 10-15 minutes or after it dries up. Slowly peel from the bottom up and finish with a toner.

It looks like this, I was just applying it on my nose. Sorry for not showing how it looks like on my nose, I'm a bit shy and I wasn't in the mood to cover up myself.

So anyways, this is what happen when it's dry and you want to remove the white mud off your nose, or in this case, my finger. It does a lot of tugging, though some people might think that it may able to remove blackheads, I kid you not, it does reduce blackheads but it doesn't efficiently remove it. It only lifts up dead skin cells and those blackheads/whiteheads that are above the surface, leaving your nose feeling soft like a baby's buttocks. LOL.

However, I don't really like it that this nose pack actually enlarges the visibility of my pores. I can deal with the fact that it doesn't help much with my blackheads but enlarging my already big pores is just nasty. I have to use my Tonymoly Dr.Tony Pore Tightening Sleeping Pack to remedy this problem.

Will I repurchase this again? Definitely no! Cuz I would love to find other alternatives other than this.

Random Pictures : FOTD of yesterday.

 Assalamualaikum,

These pictures was supposed to be posted yesterday, but my connection is just being lazy.

I'm bored, with nothing to do at school. There's not even any classes!

So want to know what I do? I watch season 7 of Supernatural, it was awesome!

So awesome that I felt sleepy, wanting to sleep! HEEE!

Enjoy! Toodles!

Make-up Review : Skinfood Dark Circle Concealer [No.1 Salmon Blooming]

Assalamualaikum,

So there's been a lot of review about this concealer, with many good reviews, but to tell you the truth I don't understand what's with the big fuss about this type of concealer.

Make-up Review : Holika Holika Daily Garden Olive Cleansing Cream & Etude House Happy Teatime Milk Tea Cleansing Cream

Assalamualaikum, 

I think I'm going to make two reviews of the 2 make-up remover cream that I bought. It's like killing two birds with one stone thing, hehehe.

Random Ranting : Make Up Academy

 Assalamualaikum,

So today I'm telling you guys all about this brand I've been fantasizing to grab. If this were to exist in Brunei, I believer there would be a higher marked-up prices for at least 300%! Believe me, they've already done that to ELF Cosmetic. If you translate a USD1.50 ELF product into BND, it is roughly around B$2.10, but however, some ELF product of that price can actually cost us B$7-8? It's disappointing that ELF cosmetics are expensive for it's cheap-looking packaging. So only choice is that you'd have to order it online.

Now, in UK, there's a cheap but quality-raved brand that's been storming up. What I like about this brand is that, it ships WORLDWIDE. What I like about them is that, they are VERY CHEAP! I'm featuring all the eyeshadow trios, quads and palettes here, but then, these prices are unbeatable!

 

These are the MUA Professional Trio Eyeshadows, altogether there are 7 of them, price is GBP2.50 each, which is about B$4.75, for three colors, they are very affordable, even Silkygirl can't beat the price for MUA! I've seen their reviews and from what I can tell, these are very much worth the price. Very pigmented and satin-y in texture. I got my eyes on Pink Sorbet, Smoke Screen and Chocolate Box. But I'd love to buy ALL of them, if only I have the budget to ship them to Brunei.

Then, here's the eyeshadow quads, aren't they awesome? I definitely am lemming for the Go Getter and Smokin Quad, but it would definitely be nice to have them ALL! And all of these are for GBP3 each, converting it to around B$5.97 each. Silkygirl still is unable to catch up to their price!

At last, the 12-Shadow palettes! Except for Immaculate's GBP8 24-shadow pallete, each of these MUA's Professional Palette costs up to GBP4! Come on! Isn't that very cheap? And of course, I have this attraction to neutral colors, Heaven and Earth palette, though with helps of a friend, I might buy all of these palettes. Well, I may not buy the Immaculate palette though.

Random Ranting : Oh, it's Tuesday.

Assalamualaikum,

Hello everyone, how are you? I'm feeling fine, Alhamdulillah. I'm actually at school right now, waiting for my class in about 45 minutes more? While waiting here at an empty class, I'd just update this blog with non-beauty ranting. 

So, it feel awesome being back at school after spending my last semester at a government sector, not that I don't find my internship enriching. It's just that, it feels so relieved to be back to a comfortable environment that I'm used to for so many years.

Ah well, but nevertheless, I don't like having to deal the fact that this is my last year of school, which basically means that I have to face a lot of assignments and reports, not to mention that I still haven't have an idea for my final project yet! Hopefully I'll be able to cope with it, InsyaAllah.

Things went so well these days, Alhamdulillah. I never ask for more or less. Let things be this peaceful for a long period, then I'll be fine and manage to handle every challenge I'll face.

I think I'm out of things to write now, I guess I'll be off now, this post took me 15 minutes and I have half an hour for my next class, so toodles!

Random Ranting : Collective Haul for month of December and January

Assalamualaikum,

Oh well, at least it doesn't do any much damage to my wallet, since I bought these in a period of two months. But nevertheless, this is still shopping. =='

I finally bought My Beauty Diary Masks! Yeay me! Hee :D

Here's the lippies, I bought Avon's Onyx Luster Tri-Lip Gloss in Peach Sparkle, Tony Moly's Milky Lip Tint in Milky Pink and Milky Peach, Silkygirl's Gloss Lipstick. Lip Ice Grape Lipbalm and The Faceshop's Color-Full Lip Palette #02.

Here's the swatches, I will do reviews on all the Tony Moly's Lip Tint.

And I'm very disappointed with Avon's lipgloss, cuz there's hardly any pigmentation, cuz I like the three layers, there should be AT LEAST real pigmentation instead of just the usual shimmery gloss, but I have to admit, I love the formula for not being to sticky.

For the Silkygirl's Gloss lipstick which is in #06 Honey Brown, it goes on very well, although it is almost the same shade as my Moisture Rich Lipstick in 04 Illusion, so I kinda feel that it's such a waste, I'm not a big fan of buying a lot lipsticks with the same shade, no matter if it's a different brand or a different range.

Here's the TFS's lip palette, clockwise from the upper left, the colors are Rose Brown, Shimmer Orange, Caramel Brown and Coral Bronze. Shimmer Orange and Coral Bronze being the glossy part, while the other two is matte, I love the colors for it's au naturale look. But somehow, I feel disappointed that upon applying it easily bleeds to your chin.

Eye Make-up

Again, Silkygirl's make-up, I bought these Funky Eyelights Pencil as a Buy 1 Free 1, I bought it in 04 Pure Purple and 02 Ocean Blue. These babies are creamy, it glides and the color pay-off is good, I use this to line this above my usual liner if I were to be very lazy to wear eyeshadows, so this is my back-up plans BUT they have that funky pencil-y smell on them and it doesn't smell so good. 

Also, I bought Tonymoly's Crystal Stick Eyeshadow in a pearly-white color. I always use this to highlight my inner corner and I actually use this to line my waterline, though proved useless because it's not waterproof.

Here's a Revlon Custom Eyes eyeshadow palette in Smoky Sexy. Love the color pay-off and it's blending-friendly.

It's one of the BB Cream from Holika Holika's Petit BB Range in Moisture and I bought it from my friend who owns this, because her and the BB Cream have a little misunderstanding. Review will come!

Beauty Diary Masks! YEAAYY!!! I bought the Black Pearl with free Bird's Nest Mask, also, my friend gave me a White Pearl Mask

Skincare Review : Tony Moly Dr.Tony Sensitve Multi Healing Balm

Assalamualaikum,

I've bought this product out of impulse, not even knowing what it actually does specifically! Well, me and my shopaholic instinct! But yet, somehow, I never really have those moments where you buy things on impulse then started to hate it when using it. Lucky me, actually.

Blog Challenge : Day 29 [Photo of something that makes you aww]

Assalamualaikum,

Okay, I'm sorry I've been neglecting the blog, I started my new semester so, the blog is a bit of a haywire, I don't even know what I'm doing, LOL!

So I always have a soft spot for my late grandfathers (both side) and you know, it felt so touching if I see kids/people around having fun with their grandfathers. I remember when I was a kid, boy, did my grandfather spoil me. He likes to make me mad, he always have been there for me. Every steps I've made, he has seen it. Although I've might have annoyed him when I was a kid, I know he wouldn't even have the heart to be mad at me.

I kinda miss him a lot. Al-Fatihah.

Blog Challenge : Day 28 [Favorite Drink]

Assalamualaikum,

Blog Challenge : Day 27 [Favorite skincare product]

Assalamualaikum,

I'm more to a acne-prone gal, I kinda have a normal-oily skin. So I don't really care about moisturizing, because I can keep up with it using sheet masks or Hada Labo lotion. I actually liked to have exfoliation almost everyday, well I know I have to keep it to the bare minimum, but I just can't help it, it's almost like an addiction to me. LOL. But usually I'd try to exfoliate on every alternate days, because that's how I roll.

Blog Challenge : Day 26 [An item from my wishlist]

Assalamualaikum,

I think these kind of topic seems "memajal" cuz I've been posting about my wishlist every now and then during the whole blog challenge.

Today's blog challenge is a bit on the obvious side. I live in Brunei Darussalam. If I were to choose where I want to live, I'm still going to choose Brunei Darussalam and I'm not picky of where I live but I won't ever dream about living in Temburong district. I'd prefer to live in Brunei-Muara district as all things you need are very much available here. Cosmetic-wise? Nope.

But I still want to live in Brunei Darussalam,

Why?

I'm happy here. Enough said.
