Hey there lovelies!!  Sorry that I haven't been updating for so long now!!  College is getting super busy & the internet over there is super crap!  There's so many things that I've tried recently, but I just have no time to write about it.  Okay okay... I think that's enough of excuses now.  Let's start with the review now shall we?

If you've read my previous haul post (a couple months back), I bought a moisturiser which is like in a syringe type of tube called BIOAQUA SKIN, (I think).  It's actually quite interesting to try because most moisturisers come in a tub or a pump tube.

I'm not sure if there's any Yubiso stores outside of Malaysia, but if there are, that's where you can get them from.  Although, personally it's not my most fave moisturiser but it's nice to try new ones.

Stay tune.... xoxo

Hey there dearies!  Today I'm back with another product review.  And this time, it's the Simple Micellar Cleansing Water.  I haven't got the chance to try out various brands of micellar cleansing water.  The only ones that I've tried is from Maybelline and Simple.  And personally, I prefer the Simple one better.

I've been really loving this product recently!  I still love my Daiso Cleansing Tissues.  However, on days where I have really minimum makeup on, my hands just gravitates towards the cleansing water more than my cleansing tissue.  Just because I feel like it's a waste to use the cleansing tissue when I barely have any makeup on.

As I've said before, this product is available in all major drugstores.  However, if you do prefer to buy it online, you could buy it from Amazon (since it ships internationally, I think) or you can even buy it from Boots.  I would definitely recommend this product for you guys to try out!  Grab yours now!

Stay tune.... xoxo

Are you guys familiar with lip tattoos?  Don't worry it's not a real tattoo.  It's just a kind of peel mask but it tints the lips.  Today, I'll be reviewing the one from Blingsome, not Berrisome.  Have any of you heard of Blingsome before?  Well, neither have I!  I only know of this brand when I went to Korea.

I love lippies in general.  So when I heard people talking about the lip tattoos / packs, I just know that I've got to get one for myself when I get to Korea!  I'm always attracted to the darker shades of lippies, so I bought #Lady Tension for myself (since it's the darkest one that they have)

If you guys are into Korean makeup trends or if you're the type of person who hates to reapply your lippies, then I would definitely suggest you to grab one for yourself.  For any of you who are living in Malaysia, you can purchase yours from Althea's website (it's pretty affordable right now, so grab yours quickly!).  That's all for now guys.

Public schools & uni here in Malaysia usually forbid their students from dyeing their hair.  And well, I'm one of those people who needs to dye her hair black for uni.  I've always feel like crying because I just hate it when my hair is black and I feel like it's a waste of my money to dye my hair in a colour which I hate.  So I thought, 'Why not just try out a RM5 hair dye?'

There are a couple of different brands of cheap henna hair dyes at my local convenience store.  But this one stood out the most for me, probably it's because that it's a 3-in-1 product (Shampoo, Conditioner, Darkener).  It comes with a packet of the 3-in-1 product and a pair of gloves.

• Really easy to use.  Just apply it like a shampoo and wait for a minimum of 5 minutes before rinsing.
• It has a decent coverage for a cheap hair dye.
• There is a pleasant scent to it which is unexpected.  No chemical scent since it uses henna & other natural ingredients.
• Super affordable (RM5) for a hair dye.
• The colour fades slightly after frequent washes.  Right now I look like I have some brown highlights in my hair since the colour on my tips have faded.
• Limited colour range.  It only comes in 2 colours (if I'm not mistaken) Natural Black & Brownish Black.

I constantly purchase a new type of mascara every time I run out of my previous ones (just wanna try out something new).  However, I find myself repurchasing a particular mascara a couple of times now.  The one mascara that I've been loving the most is the Silkygirl Eye Opener Waterproof Mascara.

I don't really have any preferences in choosing my mascara.  As long as it's affordable and isn't a super wet formula.  I feel like it still does the same job (making my eyes look more awake) no matter how cheap or pricey a mascara could be.  After all, I'm no expert so I might be totally wrong.

• No clumpy lashes thanks to the tiny bristles!
• The formula isn't too wet like some other mascaras might be.
• Gives a slight lengthening & curling effect to the lashes.  Doesn't add volume the lashes.
• It's not super waterproof in my opinion.
• Really affordable price!  I bought it for around RM11 (roughly around $2.7) during sale at Watsons.

Have any of you out there always wanted to try out contact/circle lenses but are always hesitant about it?  I know how people are always advising on the hygiene aspects if you are new at using contact/circle lenses.  However, that's not my case.  I'll be sharing with you my top 3 tips regarding contact/circle lenses that I have learnt throughout my 2-3 years of experience.

• Water Content

After trying out a couple of different lenses, I find that the water content in the lenses play a huge part in making sure that I feel comfortable wearing it.  The water content will be stated on the box/bottle of the lenses.  The higher the water content, the more comfortable it feels.  Personally, I do prefer my lenses to have more than 48% of water content because I feel like anything that is lower than that cause a slight discomfort on my eyes.

• Diameter of lenses

If you are interested in trying out circle lenses, do note that it has a slightly bigger diameter compared to normal contact lenses.  This is because it will give you an enlargement effect on your eyes.  However, if you have small eyes there might be some difficulties in applying your lenses.  Even the normal 14.5mm lenses are hard for me to wear at first since I have kinda small eyes.  So I do advice choosing lenses which are smaller in diameter if you are a beginner at wearing lenses.

• Prescription lenses

If any of you are wearing prescription glasses, I would advise that you choose a power slightly lower than the ones that you're wearing for your glasses.  This is because logically the lenses are placed on your eyes, unlike your glasses which is a couple of mm away from your eyes.  However, some optician does not advice you about this beforehand (which I don't really know why)

I'm obviously not an optician nor am I an expert on lenses.  The tips that I'm sharing with all of you are all based on my personal experience.  I really hope I could enlighten some of you who are wanting to try out contact/circle lenses for the first time.

I've been reaching out for this particular sunscreen a lot recently since I love the semi-matte finish that it leaves on my skin.  Therefore I won't need to set my foundation with a powder (lazy issues)  I won't go in depth about it since I've already have a separate review on it which you can go & check out if you want to.

Essence XXXL Longlasting Lipgloss (Velvet Matt) 17 Hot Brownie (RM 12.90)

Liquid lipstick is a total hit now I believe (especially the matte ones).  And I, being an absolute lippie lover has always wanted to try out the liquid lipsticks.  But since I have a couple of lippies to go through, I restrained myself from getting one.

Thanks to my cousin, I've managed to try out the Elianto Brilliant Riche Lip Colour (N01 Tender, 04 Sexy).  I know it's already been out for awhile now (I'm never early on trends, to be honest)  But hey, at least I got to try them out.  That's all that matters (I think).

The first time she showed the lippies to me, I know I just have to try them out!  04 attract my eyes the most and as for N01, not so much (I didn't think I'll like it at all).  Since I have dry lips, I'm a bit hesitant to try it out.  So I decided to try it out in 2 ways, with and without a lip balm.

With lip balm :

• Really accentuate dry lips (about an hour after applying)
• Looks really patchy (after eating, drinking & a nap)
• Doesn't last as long as when using with a lip balm.

Welcome back if you've been reading my blog for quite a while now...  And hello to any of you who just happen to stumbled across my blog today! (though I'm not really sure if any of you are reading.. *nervous giggles)

Anyways, I've always love watching Youtubers' haul videos and I thought 'why not I do them as well?' (the haul part that is, not the video part)  Not really sure I'll be any good at this, but I wanna give it a try anyways.  Let's get into the haul now, shall we?

All the skincare / beauty items are from Yubiso, it's like a Daiso or Kioda if any of you have it in your country.  The prices ranges from RM5-RM20 (if I'm not mistaken) here in Malaysia.

BIOAQUA CUCUMBER EYE MASK (RM10)

I love trying out different eye masks in general and there's 36 sheets in them!  They even include a small plastic tweezers for ease of picking up the delicate eye masks (since it sticks to each other).

BIOAQUA NIGHT REPAIR EYE (RM10)

I know what you all are probably thinking...  It looks exactly like the Estee Lauder Advance Night Repair Eye!!!  And I guess that's really the main reason why I'm so attracted to it.  There's no spatula provided to scoop out the product though.  Does it work?  Well, I'm not sure since I haven't used it yet.  But it is a 'cheap' eye cream, let's not put to high of a hope on it shall we?

BIOAQUA SKIN (RM5)

I'm not really sure of the name, I could be totally wrong.  The product looks really weird at a glace.  It looks as though I'll need inject this to my face!  But don't worry, it's just design that way so you don't have to scoop the product out (hygiene purposes, I guess).  I've recently tried & reviewed it, feel free to read it if you want to know more.

M'YAZHI COLOURSTAY LIP KIT (RM15)

I was so excited to try out this product the moment I bought it that I didn't even bother to save the packaging it comes in.  The colour is super gorgeous!!  The lip liner has a lip brush at the other end of it to use for the lip cream.  The colour payoff of the lip liner & lip cream is pretty decent for it's price.  But the brush is a so-so in my opinion.  It sheds easily and it takes a really long time to apply the lip cream by using it!

The books are from a bookstore called Harris.  They were having a sale when I went there.  Didn't really want to buy anything from there but since the items are crazily cheap, I decided why not look around and end up buying these 3 books.

Hello dearies...  Are you guys an online shopping maniac like me?  If you are, I bet you'll love what I'll be talking about today.

For now, Shopback is only available in a few countries (Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan, India)  You can click on the respective counties I've mention to visit their respective website.  I'll insert the video summary of what Shopback is for those of you who are unfamiliar with it.

Hello dearies... I'm back with another product review!  Today's review will be on the 'Color Combos : Combos Skin Water Resistant Face & Body Sun Protector SPF35+ PA++'  Well isn't that a mouth full? *phew!

You probably know (or not) how hot it is Asia's climate could be, especially here in Malaysia.  It will be either pouring with rain or burning from the sun.  So today, I would like to share with you guys a product that I've been loving lately to protect myself from Mr.Sun.

Hey there lovelies... Today, I think I'd like to take you guys time traveling with me...  Where you might ask?  To the time where all the skincare products might not even existed!  Have you ever wondered what your grandma or even great grandma used in their 'beauty regime' back in the days?  I know one product stands out the most.  I remembered seeing my grandma using some sort of a white mask pack on her face at night and trust me guys, it's kinda scary looking at it at night with the lights off!  What is this product that my grandma used for her skin?

It is non other than..... *drum role please...... BEDAK SEJUK!  I know some of you guys might be wondering what the hell is it?  If I'm to directly translate it, it would be something called 'Cold Powder'  Isn't it just ridiculous?  Most of the people here in Malaysia (I hope) should know what is this 'bedak sejuk'.


My grandma makes her own 'bedak sejuk' which I guess is pretty cool.  I don't really know how it is made.  But it has something to do with soaking rice for quite some time.  One thing is for sure, my grandma use natural ingredients for her 'bedak sejuk', therefore it makes it even better for the skin (I wanna say)  My grandma also adds some dried pandan leaves for a subtle scent.

Usage directions :

Benefits :

One thing that really stands out for me is that my skin feels smooth instantly after using the 'bedak sejuk' . I know this product might not be available outside of Malaysia (correct me if I'm wrong)  But I just wanted to share some of the 'traditional' beauty secrets that I know of to you guys.

DAISO...  You can get almost anything and everything that you could possibly wish for at a very reasonable price.  From snacks to household items to stationaries to even beauty products.  All of the items are of the same price (but the prices do differ for each country.)  Here in Malaysia, the items are price at RM5.30.

I really love trying out the beauty products that Daiso carries.  Obviously some products scares me a bit, cause lets be honest...  Does a RM5.30 (around $1.30) beauty/skincare products really work?  What if the ingredients in them are rubbish & I'll end up having terrible skin or allergic reactions?  Well, here are a few of their products that I've tried & will be giving a short review on.

Talking about K-Beauty, have you ever come across a brand called A'pieu?  Well, it's obviously not as popular as Etude House, The Face Shop or even Skin Food.  But I heard that A'Pieu products are pretty good and that the brand is slightly underrated.  The one product from A'Pieu that's got everyone talking is probably their Doraemon line (which surprisingly doesn't appeal to me that much... am I the only one?)

Anyways, I went in and out of every makeup stores in Korea to find the 'perfect' blusher.  And somehow, got attracted to this particular one.  As you all can see, there's nothing fancy or attractive about it (which is weird considering majority of the K-Beauty packaging are cute & fancy) but I guess the simplicity really attracts me!  It kinda looks like the 'Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush' don't you think?

• The blush itself has a cream-to-powder like texture and there are 6 different shades to choose from.  I got mine in CR01 which is like a peachy-coral shade which I absolutely love for my cheeks (I'm not the pink blusher type of girl you see)
• There is however, a slight scent to it which I don't really know how to describe but it is not unpleasant in my opinion.  I could sniff the blusher for a whole day (though I do have other things to do besides sniffing it!)
• Pigmentation wise, it's actually pretty decent and there is a slight shimmer to them, nothing crazy.
• I got a great bargain on the blusher while I was in Korea, around KRW3,250 (around RM12)

Hello there readers!  Thanks for stopping by this very humble blog.  I'm really excited to start writing in this blog that I can't contain my excitement!

Well... Enough of me rambling, let's start shall we?  As you have probably read from the title above, today I'll review on the T3 Mycin Lotion.  I'm probably late to join this product bandwagon *sigh but nothing is ever too late is it?  Not when it's a beauty/skincare products related I believe!

I've learn of this product around 2 years ago I suppose.  Back then my forehead was full of tiny bumps!  And trust me guys, it wasn't a pretty site to watch.  I went to consult a pharmacist and she suggested that I try the T3 Mycin Lotion.  When you opened the cap of the lotion, there is a blue coloured sponge like looking thing.  You only need to apply this lotion with a light hand.  Or else, you'll have the product dripping from your face!  The scent however, is quite strong and I'm not saying it in a good way.

I've tried many products to help clear up my skin, but so far this product impressed me the most.  I applied it twice daily consistently for around 2-3 months (I still apply it up to now) and could definitely see a difference.  Even my friends were impressed by how my forehead has improved.  Every time a pimple decided to say hello somewhere on my face, I would simply dabbed the lotion on my face and poof!! It'll disappear in no time.

Before any of you got confuse, there are 2 types of this product.  One is a lotion (it's more of a watery consistency instead of lotion) and the other one is a gel type.  I don't really know if there is a specific purpose for the different types.  But I do know that the ingredients content differs slightly (in %).  I'm not really helping you guys am I? *face palm
