You guys probably have heard the online store Althea which sells tons of K-Beauty products for a very affordable price.  If you've not, you should totally check them out!  I've actually check their site soooo many times but since their shipping was really expensive previously, I stop myself from buying.  But now, they offer free shipping for purchases of 2+ items.

Since it's my first time buying from them, I don't really want to go all crazy and buy crap tons of products just in case I don't like their service.  I have to say, shipping was actually fast, around a week from my purchase date (which was what I expected since it's shipped from Korea).  The items arrived in the famous Althea pink box which I find quite sturdy and the products were packed with tons of bubble wrap to ensure that the items won't get damage during shipping.

Nature Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel

I've mentioned this in one of my previous blog post and how much I love this product.  It's the type of product that I feel useful having it around.  So I decided to purchase this since it was decently priced  (RM13) at Althea.

Calmia Oatmeal Therapy Cleansing Tissue

Since I'm using cleansing water these days, I thought that this would be handy for me to bring along when I'm travelling.  Most of the cleansing tissue/wipes that I found in Watsons/Guardian are pretty expensive or bulky.  So when I found this in Althea, I got to get it!  It's just RM5 for 20 wipes!  What more can I say?

Prreti: Nourishing Multi Oil Serum

I've been wanting to buy myself a serum or an essence, but it's usually very expensive.  I was browsing through Althea when I found this baby in their new arrival section for RM20 + 10% off!!  I have not heard of this brand before and there's not a lot of review for this brand or products online.  So I've decided to purchase it and have a go and maybe even write a review about it once I've tried it.

I was actually pretty happy with my purchase from Althea.  And truthfully speaking, I might have got my eyes on a couple of other products from them😳  And..... I might actually like them a bit better than Hermo🙊  But that's just probably because I find that Hermo's price have slightly increase lately (it's still a great bargain when you purchase during Hermo's sales though!)

You can use this link to get a 20% off on your first purchase at Althea!  So...  What are you waiting for?  Head on to Althea now!😄

Stay tune.... xoxo

You guys are probably looking at the title and be like 'WHAT?!'  I mean, the moisturizer's name is soooo long that I couldn't even be bothered to write it in the title.  If you guys are wondering which moisturizer I'm referring to, keep on scrolling and have a little read on my review of it.

It's the Aqua Super Aqua Max Fresh Watery Cream by Nature Republic.  Told you that the name is pretty mouthful.  Before actually purchasing this moisturizer, I kept on hearing good things about it and I might saw somewhere that says that it's a 'must-have' kinda moisturizer (or was I actually making that up? 😅)  So the curious little me finally grab myself one when I was in Korea.  And after using up the whole tub, here's what I think of it.

Have any of you guys used this moisturizer before?  Any of you ever plan on getting one for yourself?  I personally wouldn't repurchase or recommend this product.  But I'm a strong believer that different people have different opinions and reactions towards different products.  And this is just my opinion  of it.

I was wondering...  Do you like this kind of review?  As in, in point forms where you could see what I'm emphasizing on or would you like it if I were to write up long paragraphs as if I'm actually talking and blabbering?  Do let me know how would you guys prefer my reviews to be. 😊

How many of you made your new year's resolutions at the start of the year and actually tried to fulfill it?  Do any of you remember the 2018 resolutions I made at the start of the year?  Well, I thought that it would be nice to share with you guys how my new year's resolutions are getting along now that we're half way through 2018.

As I get older, I find that it's probably way better to take care of my skin more than to actually put crap tons of makeup on my face.  I would say that I'm probably at 40% right now.  I do put on my daytime skincare religiously everyday for the past 7 months.  However, I get a little bit lazy when it comes to night-time.  Definitely need to work more on that!

This is probably embarrassing to say, but I feel like I can only give myself a 25% for this.😳  I did not skip any of my meals which is good.  But since I'm busy with internship and stuff, I find myself grabbing things which are quick and easy (probably not very nutritious) for every meal.  My internship have finally finish!  So let's hope I'm able to actually redeem myself for the remaining months of 2018.

I've actually gotten really good at this!  From hair care to skin care to even makeup.  Of course I still buy products which are affordable and probably already in stores for quite some time.  But I'm really glad for the fact that I get to try more new stuffs and not repurchase items which I'm used to.  I could probably rate myself 55% in this aspect!😉  Can't wait to try out more products before the end of the year!  There's a mini haul blogpost coming sometime this month, hope you guys are excited for it!

Well, that would be on BudgetBambi's social media that is, not my personal social media.  If any of you actually followed me either on twitter or instagram, you'll know that I'm really bad at this!😭  I don't really know what I should post on either of them.  What should I actually post about?  Any suggestions guys?  Definitely 15% for this one.

How are your 2018 resolutions going?  I would love to know about it 😊  Since internship is done, hopefully I'll get to blog more often!  Sorry to keep you guys waiting (if any of you are actually reading that is)😅

Hey there sweeties!  It's been a long time since I write something and it makes me feel really bad for neglecting my blog and my readers (if there is any of you out there).😭  But have no fear!  I'll be sharing with you my thoughts on a particular BB cream that I've been trying out lately.

As you can probably see.  It's a BB cream in a form of a stick.  So technically I shouldn't even be calling it a BB cream.  It's called the SEP Jewel BB Stick.  This product have come out for quite some time but I just never thought of buying it.  Even when my mum bought it, I didn't even feel like it's something that I have to try out immediately.

But I have been trying it out lately out of curiosity (or was it because I forgot to bring my foundation with me?) 😶  And I feel like I must share with you guys what I thought of it.

• It's extremely travel friendly.  The size is perfect to just chuck around in a handbag and it's not in a liquid form.  Hence, no worries of spillage.
• Comes with a brush.  Which means that you don't have to carry a separate brush when you travel.  However, the brush is slightly small as you can see and it makes blending the product harder.
• It claims to be brightening and helps to cover imperfections.  So far, I can vouch for the brightening part.  It does seems to brighten up my skin tone a bit.  But about covering the imperfections, I would say that it's more of a light coverage.
• It has a SPF 50+ PA+++!!! Which is great for people who live in hot and sunny country.  Anything with SPF is definitely a must have for me.
• Since the product is not liquidy enough, it makes it super hard to blend.  My arms always aches because it takes me such a long time to actually blend the product.😤
• It's slightly more of a pricey BB cream (which is not what I would buy)  It was around RM40 - RM60 when my mum bought it, I think.

Do any of you have that special product that you've been loving over the years?  Like... There's so many different products out there and so many products you've tried out, but you kept coming back to that particular one.  I know I have a couple of faves which I kept buying again and again ever since I've started using them.

Maybelline Pure Mineral Concealer

Ever since I tried this concealer, I never looked back!  Or maybe it's just me not being adventurous enough to try other product.😅  But still, I don't have anything to complain about the product itself.  This tiny bottle could last me a long time.  The product itself is creamy and so easy to blend that you'll only need a tiny amount at a time. 

Nature Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel

This is definitely a multi purpose product that I would recommend to all of you.  I mean, you could literally use this product for many purposes.  Use it as a moisturizer ✔, hair care ✔, nail care ✔, on blisters ✔, mosquito bites ✔ and so much more that for some apparent reason, I can't think of right now.  The point is, it's a product you never knew you needed.

Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder

This one is probably not a surprise for you guys.  If any of you followed my Instagram, you'll know that I've posted a picture of this baby multiple times.  I even did a post a while back on this item since I love it so much.  It's an oily faced girl's best friend😂 What more can I say?

Silkygirl Eye Opener Waterproof Mascara

Again, this is a product which I have posted about before on my blog.  So some of you might have read about it before.  I don't wear mascara all the time, but when I do, it's definitely this one.  It's a decent & affordable mascara that I would definitely suggest to all of you.

Do any of you love the same products as me?  What are your constant go to products?  I'd love to know!😘

I am definitely the kind of girl who is obsessed with online shopping.  My friends are always asking me how I can constantly shop online without the fear of being cheated.  So... I've decided to come up with this blog post to share my experience with any online shopping beginner out there.

Well...  If I can sum up a word on online shopping, it would be GAMBLE.  Don't you agree?  Online shopping is definitely a gamble.  You'll never know if the things that you buy will turn out exactly as described, a tad different or just totally off.  These are the basic tips that I've learnt from my past experiences of online shopping.

If any of you are the type of person who wants to shop online but are hesitant, I hope that the tips that I've shared with you would give you the push that you needed.  Good luck on your first online shopping experience!😄

If you guys follow me on Instagram, you'll probably know that I went to Jeju Island a few weeks ago.  Snow was falling almost every single day which makes it seems so magical 😍

Well... I'm not here to talk about my Jeju trip (although I think it might be fun) but today I'm going to review a particular product that I've been loving when I was there which is the contact lens from Olens.  The ones that I bought is the Falling In Love series.

I know that usually people would talk about their new years resolutions at the very start of the year.  I do realize that it's almost the end of January, but hey!  A resolution is still a resolution, right?  And I have a few in mind that I wish to accomplish in 2018...

Take Better Care of My Skin

If you've read my blog before, you'll know that I went to get a facial last year and really love it!  I still occasionally get a facial but since I was busy with exams at the end of last year, I just didn't have the time even for a DIY pampering session.  And with all the exam stress I've faced, my skin has been a total messed.😭 So this year, I'm really hoping that I could get a facial or a DIY pampering session at home more often.

Better Eating Habits

For the last 6 months in college, I've been doing really well in trying to cook more food for myself instead of buying take outs.  But now since I'll be staying at home, I've been reaching more of junk foods and processed foods which is definitely bad.  I do realize it, but the thought of cooking seems like a chore to me right now.  Don't ask me why, I just don't have the answer.😓 I really hope that I'm able to restrain myself from eating all that crap and cook some homemade meals for my family and I this year.  Are there any easy and healthy recipes that you guys know of?  Do share them down below.. I would definitely appreciate your suggestions!😍

Trying Out New Products

I really love going to the drugstores and browsing through the aisle to see what's new on the shelves.  But somehow, I keep buying the same boring thing over and over again!  I tell myself to try out new products every year, but always end up trying probably less than 5 products.  Hopefully, there's some changes this year so that I could do more reviews for you guys.

Update Often on Social Media

You may or may not know that I do have a social media.  But sadly, I don't update it as often as I would like to.  Mainly because my everyday life is dull in my opinion therefore sharing it might not be so interesting.  And when I'm busy with my studies, those social medias just cease to exist!  I would really like to be active on social media since I feel like it somehow feels more personal, you know what I mean?  Have you guys followed my social medias?  Link is on the sidebar, so do check it out!  I'm currently in Jeju Island, so do check my Instagram stories as I'll try to post frequently while I'm there!😍

What are your resolutions for this year?  I would really love to hear about it!😊

Eye shadow is something that I'm always interested to use but always feel so fancy with it on.  And it always awes me how people could use various colours of eye shadows at a time and still look so gorgeous!  And guess what?  I've found the perfect eye shadow if you're a beginner just like me.

I've always been on a lookout for eye shadows but never really found one that caught my eye until now that is.  I went to Korea early last year and found this particular eye shadow from Missha.  It is the Missha Triple Shadow.

• There's 3 different colours in a pot.  The colours obviously matched one another.  So if you're not good at matching eye shadow, this is one less problem for you.
• Travel friendly.  The size is basically of a single shadow.
• It has a wide range of colours to choose from.  They even added a few new colours in the range now.  I've inserted the colour selections for you guys to see, if you're interested. 😄
• All the colours are pigmented.  You know how certain shimmery shadows don't have any colour payoff?  Well, even the lightest shade is pigmented!
• The price is pretty decent.  I mean, KRW6,000 for 3 colours.  Sounds alright.  But... the cheaper the better, right?😉
• It doesn't come with a brush/applicator which is common I think for single shadows.
• The shadows are all shimmery!  Although, I really wish it's a matte eye shadow. 😣
