Skincare Review : Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturizer

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

So, I think I can find some time to update my blog today and I'll be reviewing my current savior for my on and off dry/scaly skin. The condition is always set off when I'm using my Clariderm, which you will find a review in just a few weeks as I'm still in a trial session.

Ever since I used Clariderm, my combination/oily skin has been drying up creating scaly skins and I've expected it to do that, because the Clariderm is a very strong peeling astringent, but I won't be explaining why I'm still using it, I will explain that in a separate post.

I bought this while I was in a trip in Miri, I've been hearing good stuff about Simple products so I've taken a stab on purchasing the Light moisturizer because I'm not sure if I want heavy moisturizer as I am a noob in skincare stuff, so I play it safe with this.

It's unscented, which just doesn't feel right with me as I don't really mind perfumed skincare, but well, I don't mind about it though.

The texture is very lightweight and I like the feeling of applying it on my face, it really feels refreshing and as if my skin was drinking up this moisturizer, almost like this is a thirst-quenching drink for my skin. It seems funny that I put it that way, but yeah, this is as close as I can to explain it. It really help moisturize my skin and my skin has less dry/scaly patches ever since I used this right after purchasing this. 

Will I repurchase? Yes.

What's your favorite moisturizer?

Want-It Wishlist : Wet and Wild Eyeshadows

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I'll apologize first for the lack of updates and in the future, I might resume in February, in time for my birth month! I've been very busy with my offline life as things were very hectic and as you can see on my Instagram today, you would see I took a pic of a Tuna Mayo and Tomato Sandwich, I kid you not, but that was my school's assignment.

I'm currently listening to cover songs that my friend from Little Red Viola introduced to me and so far I've been listening a lot to Alex Goot, Maddie Jane, Boyce Avenue and Max Schneider. You should actually check my friend out, she's a Bruneian beauty/lifestyle blogger. Also, she's my bestfriend!

For today's Want-It Wishlist, I've included the famous Wet and Wild Eyeshadow palettes. No one can deny it that not only they are cheap and affordable, the eyeshadows are also very pigmented. It's a cult product that I just need to have. If I were rich, I'd love to collect all of them.

The above picture is the Color Icon range, I must say that I'd love to have Lust and Greed, as the colors are the ones that I get a lot of use! 

For the trio shadows, I think this is useful to stash it into your portable makeup bag, as sometimes I am rushed to school and the eyeshadows I wear could actually be a little uneven. So touching up using the trios are useful, although I'd love to have "Walking on Eggshells", "Sweet as Candy", "Knock on Wood" and "Sweet Treatment" while the others are a plus to collect. There's some of the trios sold on 99cents chain store in America, selling for $0.99, I am so jealous that it's way too far for me to grab these and obviously, I have no friends going to America.

I think since there's only 3 of them, why not just collect them all? LOL! Though I'm not a big fan of Blue Had Me At Hello as I think I have a large amount of blue eyeshadows in my collection, well. Maybe not more than 15, but I still think I have had enough of blue eyeshadows. I crave for colors, believe it or not!

Product Empties and Make-up Review : Silkygirl's Two-way Silky Foundation SPF15

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I'm back with a empty product, this is my ONE AND ONLY setting powder, sad for a beauty blogger, I'm not saying this is a great product, but I had 4 refills lying around and I finally go through the second last of the refills. As you can see from the picture below, it's such a clean slate, only because the product broke as it actually hit pan a few weeks ago and I was just finishing it up, so it might have been fragile and made a crumbled mess in my handbag =/

I think I never really review this product before, so I might just hit two birds with one stone. I guess I never really review this as it never occur to me to do it as I use this almost everytime I wear makeup. It's a good product but I never will buy this again as I do need to find something new to replace this, I only have a lot of their refills because there was a sale for the refills 2 years ago. 

I bought 3 Tan and 1 Medium, I must say the Tan is a pretty good match to my skin as I find it to be not too dark, just enough. So for the Medium, it's a little light but I can manage with just using a light-hand application with a powder brush.

I found that if you apply this powder with a sponge, it would give you more coverage. Using a powder brush , however does not give you any coverage.This product lasts as long as possible when your face is not oily, as I have a very oily face, I had to reapply the powder for every few hours which isn't such a chore at all as it doesn't go cakey on your face unless if you use with a sponge. Also with reference to the name silky, the texture is very silky.

Will I repurchase again? NO, I want to find something better, maybe Etude House's compact or maybe Essence and Catrice.

In My Bag : Makeup Bag for Empire Hotel.

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

There was a flood in my house and it actually crashes my laptop, can you believe that I live on top of a hill, but it still can get flooded? I blame my older brother for this as he forgets to turm off the faucet after shower, but who actually does that?

I'm seriously surprised that this kind of thing happens. But thankfully I was able to fix my laptop in such a small amount of time, my harddisk drive is now condemned, along with those pictures and stuffs that I haven't had the time to make back-up files. I'm currently trying to recover everything from my harddisk drive, so I won't be able to maintain this blog for another week.

But can you believe that, if I were to send my laptop for recovering, maintenance and fixing, it might cost me around $200 or even more. But I've been pooling out my resources, enrolling on a computing course does help me to find people to fix my laptop in ease and for free. Also, since I have to replace my harddisk drive, I just use an external drive that's lying around in the house, not in use by any of my family members and open it up and replace it with my condemned harddisk drive.

Now that we've straighten that out, here's my post.

So anyways, this is just a small makeup collection I brought for the stay at Empire Hotel, not much as I know we'd actually going to stay there for a day. LOL.

It's very simple, here's what I brought with me:

• Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream
• Essence Stylist Eyebrow Set
• Etude House Fantastic Gradation Eyeshadow Palette
• Missha Signature Lipstick Palette
• The Faceshop's Lip Palette
• Essence Longlasting Eyeliner 
• IN2IT Retractable Black Eyeliner
• Essence Multi-action Mascara
• Bundle Monster Foundation Brush
• Maybelline's Liquid Concealer
• Holika Holika Holy Berry Tint
• Silkygirl's Gloss On Lipstick 

Random Ranting : A way to release

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I haven't actually fixed my laptop, but it is still on its way, I'm using my mom's laptop to update this. I still have the writer's block for writing up a few reviews on the draft, lol, so I won't go there for a few weeks. We'll see.

I'm currently having a state of confusion, I don't know how to explain it, I just don't know how to tell it to you without even telling what's been going on with my life. The guy I dated a few months ago, well, it didn't work out, which is fine by me, as time went on, I guess I realize that I don't have feelings for him.

But then, there's this guy, I have a crush on him when I was around 12 and it went on up to well, for a few years which I've now come to realize and come to terms that he might be my first love. I've never hoped to be with him, because I think my feelings would never be returned. We briefly dated in 2009, I was 18, I was young, we see each other a lot back then, we came from two different clique, when I say different, our lifestyle has been VERY different as we grow up, so I bound to have the thoughts that we could never been together. He went out of his way to see me, help me and drive me to school, you think I can find the reason why he does that for me, well I didn't. I really didn't, lol, talk about clueless.

I found out about him returning my feeling when I was gonna call him to confess, as he was going to go off and study abroad, but then, I can't find the courage to tell him but then he knew and we talked and he actually confessed that he likes me too.

Then he went on and study abroad, he was sweet, he called me every month and I know it's very expensive for him to call me as I know I don't even call him, lol. But after time went out, we kind of drifted apart, there was a problem between us that I don't want to tell it here and I went on and date my current ex. When he went back to Brunei, he did try to reach out to me, there's actually a tension between us. So we didn't see each other for a very long time, up to now.

I've been seeing him a lot, I mean, he knows how to make it like it's casual, but I know with him, it's nothing casual, I'll know it's casual if there's a few people joining in when we go out, but then it's just the two of us. It's always been just the two of us when we go out, I still think of him as friends and I didn't even want to think of him more than that. But you know, when a guy is giving you attention, giving you subtle hints of wanting to get closer, it gets weirdly intense. I've been trying to figure out why we both can't keep ourselves from each other's company.

I won't lie there's still itsy bitsy feelings for him, but I just don't know if I want this especially from him, so all I can do is just wait out and think this out until the time comes.

Sample Review : Laneige Glossy Lipstick

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I have been a very bad blogger! Happy 2013 everybody, I don't really have the mojo to write up the favorites of 2012 or even to sum up my 2012, but Alhamdulillah I am still alive to this day.

A friend gave me this lipstick sample and there's actually two of them, so I just put it onto one of my unused contact lens case and just depot it there. 

So I received four different lipstick sample housed in this old-fashion candy packaging, those chocolate candies in the 90's, I hope to find it in shops cuz I'm feeling a little bit nostalgic. LOL.

It comes onto this little aluminium packaging, which is very inflexible and also a little too cheap for a brand like Laneige, even Missha houses their samples on a luxurious-looking palettes. Also, once opened, it won't be able to be close. Hence, depotted them onto a sterilized contact lens. 

In the swatch, I've forgotten to actually put on a heavier swatch, sorry, but from right to left, Glam Nude, Secret Red, Delicious Pink and Plum Pink.

The colors are pigmented but I love the fact that the colors are a little sheer at the same time, as I never actually wore red a lot, so this is the stepping stone I need to wear a bright but sheer red to pass, cuz sometimes it's already on my mindset that red is for women in their 30s and 40s, lol.

But anyways, Laneige's lipstick is actually nice to use, they last for 2-3 hours only, so I made sure I wear a liptint/stain underneath because re-applying them is just bothersome, sometimes. LOL. But it is moisturizing and gives a glossy effect without the glitter, but I think I can make do this lipsticks with Silkygirl's Gloss lipsticks as they seemed to be similar.
