My Skincare Routine featuring Swissvita Products | with Review
Wednesday, August 9, 2017
السلام علىكم
Today I want to share my current skincare routine which I have started a month ago religiously. I have come to the phase where everything needs to be done fast; well that includes my skincare routine of course haha. #mommyproblem. I have longgg left my favourite 10-steps skincare routine hehe. no time mannn. haha. This time, my routine is the must do 3-step.
FYI, I'm collaborating with All Young Swissvita Skinlab Malaysia this time.
FB PAGE : https://www.facebook.com/swissvitamalaysia/
These are the 3 main products of my skincare routine.
For the past goood one month, since I started these products, I didn't get a single pimple/acne! really!! I don't know if external factors affect this but as I know, I was using those products.
You can check out their website and products' description here too:-

STEP 1
Cleanse
Micrite 3D All Use Cleanser Cream
Clean clean clean. It's the first vital step of a skincare routine. You need a clean base for good absorption of other skincare products later. Also, at least let you skin breathe freely from all the dirt you have on your face please! haha. This cleanser is the foam cream type that creates fine foam. it has no fragrance and is very gentle to the skin. It also leaves a clean feeling yet moisturizing. I really cannot bear with cleansers that stripped all of the oil. It will make my face feel very tight and dry -_-. So, this cleanser is good; it cleanses and moisturized the skin well at the same time. (Y)
STEP 2
Tone
Acne Solution Skin Balancing Toner
Clean clean clean. It's the first vital step of a skincare routine. You need a clean base for good absorption of other skincare products later. Also, at least let you skin breathe freely from all the dirt you have on your face please! haha. This cleanser is the foam cream type that creates fine foam. it has no fragrance and is very gentle to the skin. It also leaves a clean feeling yet moisturizing. I really cannot bear with cleansers that stripped all of the oil. It will make my face feel very tight and dry -_-. So, this cleanser is good; it cleanses and moisturized the skin well at the same time. (Y)
STEP 2
Tone
Acne Solution Skin Balancing Toner
Toner is also important to prep your base for more skincare products. It also helps balance the pH level of your facial skin after the cleanser. In fact, some toner is also meant to further clean your skin. Depending on your facial skin needs. The toner that is also cleansing can be drying to some skin type like mine nowadays. So I prefer a toner like this which just meant to carefully medically prep your skin. This toner is a milky type. You have to shake well before use. I just my palm to apply; no cotton pad. Just tap onto the skin until it's absorbed. It is a very mild toner; gentle to skin and it leaves my face feeling soft and balanced. It has no fragrance too.
STEP 3
Moisturize
Acne Solution Serum
Different people (different skin) needs different kind of moisturization. As for myself, my skin type and condition changes accordingly to the environments factors etc. On most days, I only apply this serum as moisturizer. This serum feels more like a medicine to me haha maybe because there's a hint of medicine smell as I apply it. With a few small dots, I just rub it on my face until absorbed. However it is not very moisturizing to very dry skin like mine. So on days where I feel like my skin is more dry, I will at least layer an aloe vera gel on top for an extra moisture. If it's super more dry, I will layer with a more concentrated moisturizer. Let's talk about layering products in separate entry. hehe. I love layering products, fyi! XD
Acne free skin (for now but hopefully until forever haha)! yeay hehe.

Packing Hospital Bag | Welcoming My Baby Journey
Saturday, July 8, 2017
السلام عليكم
Hi.
Today's entry is to help my pregnant friends and acquaintances (which are a lot weh hahaha, good luck btw girls!) packing their hospital bag. hehe. Those who packed can double check the checklist I have. I got you covered! hee
FYI, I only refer to one checklist that I saw and took picture of in momhousebaby shop in Shah Alam while I was shopping the essentials. I double checked the list with the input I got during antenatal class that I went to in HUKM. So, no overpack, I swear. haha. In fact, it's the perfect list to me (you can trust me on this, say someone who is so bad at packing :P)
The only thing that you need to consider is how many days you will stay in the hospital. The quantity of the things will depend on that. For me, I estimate my stay would be at most 4 days (turned out I really stayed for 4 days! Alhamdulillah). Everything fits in this one bag (my husband's; perfume free gift). So, cool! hee
Instastory. True story. haha.
Yup. I am that person who always overthink and over worried.. so.. yeah, I packed quite early. As soon as I reached week 33rd.
The checklist
Save this picture okay hehe
The 'Ayah' part is only needed if the daddy will be staying together with the mommy at the hospital. In my case, it is not applicable as my husband was not allowed to stay (HUKM is a semi government hospital) huhu so yeah no need. my house is only like 15minutes away from the hospital so it's okay la haha.
Also, I included dates in the 'Bakul' part (you should too) because they are really helpful in providing the energy you need!
Thanks for being here.
Until next time.

Tips and Tricks: Nude Matte Liquid Lipstick
Saturday, March 4, 2017
السلام علىكم
Hello there!
Happy Sunday!
Let's have a makeup talk today! hehe.
the topic today is the trending matte liquid lipstick or some call with a fancier name like lip cream with a matte finish etc etc. hehe.
It's crazy to see more and more brands (and new brands) are producing this type of lippie; literally like 'cendawan tumbuh selepas hujan'. haha. there comes my malay proverb ^_^". I guess people also like it because, one, it's long lasting, two, it's great pigmentation is a good bonus since you get to save a lot of the product and third, since this lippie dry and set on your lips well, there's little to no transfer happen!
To be honest, I am so behind this trend. haha. It's because I am not very much a fan of matte lippie. I prefer a glossy or at least a little bit moisturized lips look. However I refused to be outdated haha or I don't deserve to be called a beauty blogger. :P Sooo with that being said, here's my first two matte lip cream from NYX and they are in nude and nude pink!
Gorgeous nude indeed, but, it's a bit tricky applying it. Here's to how you can get the perfect nude matte lips look!
Type of makeup
This is rather a personal preference. I find that matte lips suits an overall matte look; the Korean dewy or watery look don't really match it.
Prep your lips
Chapped or flaky lips often makes the a matte lips look gross! Especially because over the time, the lips get drier and drier and the colour of the lippie will set to the lines of the lips.
So, beforehand, be sure to scrub the lips.
A toothbrush can be the simplest way to scrub the dead skin off your lips.
Or, you can have like a quick treatment for the lips using sugar and honey. They make a great scrub and mask combo not just for the skin but for lips too!
Then, moisturize using a lip balm.
sidenote: Drink a lot of water for pretty, well hydrated lips throughout the day!
My current go-to everyday makeup look with the all prepped lips for the matte lip cream ehheeheh.
Application
Dab the excess lip balm to the back of your hand then you can apply it straight from the tube. It needs a precise application especially at the edge of the lips. make use of your concealer for a crisp line! hehe.
or.. Enhance the nude lippie colour with a lip tint!
my lips are naturally pale. so a nude lip colour can make me look washed out!! and i found out that a lip tint can become a saviour! hehe.
I used this glossy blaster tint from too cool for school...
... and it really makes a difference!
all done! ^^
YEAY I can now enjoy wearing matte liquid lipstick hehe. I am currently on the move of collecting and searching the best one. Tell me your favourite because I wanna try them all! hehe
Thanks for reading!
Until next time!

K-BEAUTY: THE FUN IN THE PRODUCTS
Tuesday, September 6, 2016
اسلام عليكم
Hello!!
Finally another entry!! haha
It's K-beauty time baby! wootttsss!!
Even though I am in no way look korean (kuikui), I loveeee Korean make up looks waayyyy better than the western's. They are super duper great at enhancing natural beauty. Refer here for my Korean Inspired makeup look; here, I emphasized the small small steps of korean's apporach with makeup.
I have always been sooo impressed with the Korean beauty technology too. Makeup also has their own technology, I kid you not! Be it the makeup trend, skincare, packaging, products, they are all very creative!! Let's see all the korean beauty products that I own and see how weird, fun, cool and great one product can be!!!
sidenote: these are just the overall views not full reviews of the products. Full review will be in separate entries.
Lip Tattoo
This lip tattoo by blingsome is a kind of lip tint that applies like a glue and leave your lips tinted!! haha! so fun! I remember those days where I put glue on my hand than pull it after it dries like skin! did you did that toooo?!!! hahaha
see what it did to my dull, pale face!!!! Love ittttttttt!! <3
Sheet face mask
Sheet masks don't come in boring white anymore! It's wayyyyyyy better than what you think it can be! it now comes with prints! like these that I had makes me look like a panda and a cool mysterious masquerade girl while it beautify my face! woots!
They make putting on mask is not a chore making yourself pretty, instead, it's a fun activity! especially if you are having a girls time like a sleepover or something like it! the 20minutes waiting time sure will turn into a 20minutes of selfies! haha!
BB cream cushion
Koreans are very much well known with their bb cream cushion. If you never heard of BB cream cushion, it's a product whereby a cushion holds the BB cream for more-saving and better application. The specialty is at the sponge applicator which u will use while dabbing the foundation into your skin. But we cannot ignore the beautiful packaging of this BB cream cushion by Keep In Touch
What's more interesting is that the cushion's cream comes in this weird yin-yang lookalike shape haha. The white portion is the moisturizer while the brown one is the foundation, of course.
First application will sure make like you're printing your face hahah. Then watch it slowly and beautifully blends into skin while dabbing it. How fun haha.
Dual Lipstick
do you know the ombre lips trend? omg i'm head over heels with that look! see my post on ombre here. The look is great but it will require few tricky steps before you can achieve the look but now no moreeee! dual-lipstick is here! how genius. haha.
gradient-lips made easy (Y) (Y)
Lip Crayon
While this lip crayon looks literally like a pen, it behaves just like a real buncho crayon u used to use during psv period in school back then! hehe. in a good way, fyi. if you can imagine the buncho crayon, that's exactly how this lip crayon's texture is.
Highly pigmented with matte finish lips can easily be achieved as I easily fit the sleek pen-sized product in my handbag!
Brush gel liner
it's a gel liner in a pen! There's a brush and sharpener at the end of the liner pen. detachable - so, easy to clean and be used.
With the brush at the back, the liner can be blended a bit for a more subtle smoky look.
It gives you fuller but subtle lash line too. Perfect for an every-day natural-looking makeup.
Mascara
This mascara is nothing so extraordinary but the packaging and the banana lookalike brush wand. hehe. I'm really appreciating every single details it has to offer hehe. How I wish it smells like banana too! ahhahahaha :P
1 coat and I'm all satisfied with my natural by voluminized eye lashes! muahx
These Korean products' brands are mostly not available in Malaysia and the answer to where I get them from is none other than Althea! No suprise! Althea is my K-beauty products' personal shopper. See my Althea post here.
That is all for today!
Thanks for reading.
Till my next entry XOXO
