I've been reading beauty blogs since last night till today. Including makeups, beauty products, tips and everything! Shit I'm obsessed with makeup/beauty products again. I've been sitting in front of the laptop almost the entire day exploring beauty products. Read blogs and product reviews on hot selling items.
Especially BB creams. Although it was released for quite some time already but it's kinda new in Malaysia. I only came across SkinFood BB Cream and now other brands like Elianto or FaceShop or others releasing it. So far the famous ones are like Skin79, Dr Jart+, SkinFood, BRTC, Hanskin, Missha, Shills, and others. I bought the SkinFood Aloe BB Cream in Queensbay two weeks ago after reading the product reviews from a beauty blog.
SkinFood Aloe Vera BB Cream
Actually I've stopped using foundation for almost half a year already. I minimized foundation usage because I did not want my pores to get worst since I have large pores. Worst still is that my blackheads are filing up all my pores. That's terrible. Apparently without the usage of foundation, my skin gets better a lot. But now when I came across BB Cream, I cant stop myself from trying it. I have the one from SkinFood but I dare not to use it everyday. Only on certain occassions.
Few days ago I bought the Skin79 Blemish Balm from a shop in MidValley. RM20 for the sample size. No harm trying. And I find it much better than SkinFood. In terms of the coverage and radiant glow on the skin! So Skin79 is in my shopping list for Korea trip!
Yes I'm going Korea this early March. BB Creams,Masks, Makeups, Skincare..anyone??
I'm searching for best selling items from Korea before my trip so that I know what to buy when I'm there. Furthermore I dont have much free and easy time shopping around coz it's a company trip. Let me know if you came across anything which is good from Korea. My aunt asked me to get her toothpaste from Korea! Hahha..she said the toothpaste there are special, because they come in a variety of colours and some are like scrubs-texture. That's cool!
I was so bored this evening when I decided to reveal out the makeup products I'm currently using.

Where shall I start?Okay skincare first.
Face
I was using few brands of skincare previously. I mix here n there depending on which are the best selling item for each range like for cleansing oil I choose Shu Uemura, toner from Clinique, mosturizer from Clinique, pore refining cream from SK-II and etc. Since our company has launched its own skincare range, Izumi, on the 26th Jan 09, so I decided to use the entire range to see the effects on my skin before I can actually start selling it.
Here's the entire range of Izumi which consists of Cleansing Solution, Revive Gel, Spring Toner, Ocean Serum and Water Gel. It is suitable for all types of skin. This set really does wonder on my skin especially its water gel, revive gel and ocean serum. And the whole range is only RM556! Value for money..
Maybe I'll blogged more about this skincare in another entry k!
Every morning I cleanse my face with MD Formulation Cleanser, followed with the Izumi Spring Toner, and Water Gel.
Next I use Kose Ultra Sun Protector UV with SPF50. I know the SPF is relatively high, but I'm out for the whole day getting in and out of the car. So I really need higher SPF sunblock.

So far I love it best because its white watery texture wont make my skin feel sticky like other sunblocks. Good thing is that it controls oil quite well.
Sometimes I replaced Kose sunblock with Chanel Whitening Modeling Effect Base with SPF30.
The texture is thicker than Kose but it has shimmery effects on the skin. I use it as my makeup base also because it makes my skin glow especially at night! That's what I applied on my skin on normal days. If there's any occassions, then I'll put on foundation and loose powder.
I'm using Red Earth loose powder now. But Fion introduced me to Palgantong Theatrical Powder, so maybe I'll try that next. Here's how it looks like. I thought of asking my sis to get it for me in Singapore but she said her plan to KL was canceled. Ish!

Eyes
My beautiful eyes! LOL..I cant leave home without drawing eyeliner on my big eyes! Without eyeliner, my eyes will look damn tired and strengthless. wtf. Previously I was using the gel type eyeliner from Bobbi Brown but to save time every morning, I'm using MAC Powerpoint Eyeliner (Black).
The gel eyeliner is long lasting but I spend quite some time using it. Maybe it's because I'm not pro enough..hehhe!
Now it comes to eyeshadow. I love colours! Especially matching my eyeshadows with my outfit of the day. Okay I have a pair of super oily eyes where eyeshadows wont stay any longer than 2 hours. I was so frustrated! How can a woman not use any eyeshadows??!!! But luckily I found this magic cream that does wonder on my eyes. Now my eyeshadows can stay on my eyes for more than 24 hours without any smudging at all!
Presenting my bestie...URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION!!!

I love it mann! *muacks* Now I can blend any colours on my eyes without worrying the colours will smudge or fade off. I ordered it via ebay a year ago and it's gonna finish very soon. I guess I'll need to order again. If I'm not mistaken it's around RM70 including shipping costs. Worth the investment!!
I'm using eyeshadows from MAC and Elianto. My colours are all arranged in palettes. This is my favourite colour!

MAC Eyeshadow in Teal.
For mascaras, I'm a loyal user of Maybelline. I dont invest on expensive mascaras because I find that Maybelline mascaras can does wonders already.

Most importantly make sure it's waterproof please!
And eye cream..Clinique All About Eyes

Cheeks
Some girls cant leave home without blusher but I'm the opposite..hahha! I can leave home without blusher. It's true. I always forget about blusher. LOL!

The only blusher I have from Make Up Store. ;)
Eyebrows
I'm using automatic eyebrow pencil from Ianti and I find it value for money! Only RM12.90 but for me it lasts only about a month plus.

Concealer. Another dont-need item. Hahha! Unless I really have one big acne to cover up!

Bought one from MAC long time ago and I think I use it for not more than 10 times. See it's still full right?!
Lips
Okay lastly my lips.

Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick and Chanel Lip Gloss.
There it goes! That's what I need everyday before stepping out of home. You know what?! I need almost 90 minutes to get ready every morning.
20 minutes in the bathroom. 15 minutes to choose my outfit. 30 minutes to put on skincare and makeups. 15 minutes to blow dry my hair. And the remaining time to do this and that..hahha! The fastest I can get ready is within 60 minutes (if I dont wash my hair). The boyfriend keeps complaining to all his friends that I need more than an hour to get ready. But I'm sure that's the average time every girl needs right? Unless those without makeups..
Tell me how long do you need to put on all your makeups..please!
I need to find out the average time. Just to compare if I were to use too much/little time to get ready..hehhe!
Till here for today! Next entry will be on our Northern Award Presentation! Stay tuned..
The day where love is in the air. Love is so great that my best friend 'purple-ly' fly to Singapore to celebrate her Valentine's. How sweet if she'll fly to KL on err...Friendship Day or any other day! Hehehhe! Whereas for me, I'm in KL celebrating Vday and my boyfriend's birthday. Yes 2-in-1 celebration. Friends always said that I saved up on presents. LOL! But sometimes it's not easy to celebrate this double celebration. Let me tell you why..
Him : Dear..it's my birthday today! So where u gonna bring me for dinner?
Me : D..it's Valentine's today! So where u gonna bring me for dinner?
Hahha! You see..we both rely on each other to plan for the day. He rely on me coz it's his birthday and I rely on him coz it's Valentine's. But we both ended up making the decision. I think next year I'm gonna plan for this. Celeb his birthday on the 13th and Valentine's on the 14th. Good idea right?!
Alright let me blog bout my double celebration now. I was in Genting on the Valentine's eve for Sally Yeh's concert. Yes again this year. I'm not a big fan of her but I kinda love her songs..I mean her voice actually.
The theme for her concert this year in Genting was My Funny Valentine. But throughout the concert nothing much is related to Valentine's Day. I think maybe it's because we went to the one on 13th Feb. So I guess her concert on the 14th will be better. I went to her concert with the bf, Wendy and Stephanie. Wendy got us the tickets from Mr Tee, using the Genting points redemption and we got the PS1 tickets which is very close to the stage. Perfect place!
The concert started around 8.30pm and Sally appeared in white long dress. After few songs then the games started. The MC will throw the flying plate to the audience and those who can catch it will have to bring their partner to the stage for games. AND MY BOYFRIEND CAUGHT IT!!
Once he caught the flying plate, my heart was jumping to the max. How am I gonna be on Arena of Stars stage?! Few thousands of audiences looking mann! But no choice we have to go up. Somehow it's a good experience standing on celebrity's stage! It's cool to be a celebrity mann. We were up on the stage with 3 other couples. And the game was to asked us to pose the most loving pose. Both of us were blanked. We cant think of anything..hahha!
And this is what we pose! Failed! Hahahaha..eventually there's one couple who got champion because their pose were really romantic! Anyway we still got the gifts. Not the pose matters, but the experience of standing at the stage in Arena of Stars, Genting.
These are what we got..
Most of the items were sponsored by Yonex and Genting. If I'm not mistaken, Sally is one of Yonex's ambassador. She loves playing badminton. She played at all her concert in Genting. And then when she hit the shuttlecocks to the audience, the boyfriend caught the shuttlecock again! Stephanie said maybe he's used to catch shuttlecocks since he was state badminton played and a coach before. And again when Sally threw some soft toys, the boyfriend got it again. So damn lucky!
I love this couple cow! It has Sally's signature on it as well. The bf said we can put it in ebay for auction..hehhe! Her whole concert was awesome except her stamina has dropped compared to the last time she was here in Genting. But her voice is still fantastic!
After the concert, we went down the hill and headed to Golden Sun Club. A place where they have slot machines. And the members get to drink any liquor for free. Drink till you drop! Reached home around 4am and that's my Valentine's eve! ;)
My Valentine's Day
Well, the night before that we slept around 5am. So the next morning I woke up around 12pm. Online for a while and lazy-ing around for few hours. The boyfriend was so patient yesterday, he didnt even say a word asking me to be quick. He allowed me to do what I want until I'm willing to get my shower..hehhe! His patience makes all my relatives said he's a real good boyfriend. He can even accompany me for shopping the whole day without making any noise, unless when he's too tired to accompany me.
I took my own sweet time to take my shower and do my one-hour make up. It was only 4pm and I asked him whether I should put on my make up for the dinner. He asked me to do it (i mean the make up okay) in the car before we head down to Overseas Restaurant, Jalan Imbi but I didnt want to. So I make up and put on everything ready. Next you know where we went?!
Kayu Original Nasi Kandar di SS2!
Hahha! Everyone's like looking at me weirdly..wondering why this woman dressing up so pretty to have nasi kandar?! Hahha but I ignored them. Who cares?! They should know it's Vday and of course I'm on a date! hahha..
My just-woke-up face.
Then we went to The Gardens to do some shopping. I was looking for a clutch/wristlet. You know nowadays snatch thieves are everywhere and I'm trying not to use big bags. I'm kinda afraid nowadays. Shopped at many shops but couldnt find any. Coach have a variety but the designs aint nice. Salvatore none. Burberry has one, I love the classic design but it's way too expensive for a small clutch. Loewe none, but I love their latest collection small bag..in bright pink. Calvin Klein has one which is not bad. Still considering. And the other way we went to Pavilion and there's one from Prada which is damn nice. Considering...
After The Gardens, we headed straight to Overseas Restaurant. It was damn jammed. The Sultan Ismail Road was closed down for the OneFM Live Concert in front of Sg Wang Plaza. We were stucked in the jam for almost 45 minutes. Started our dinner around 9pm! LOL!
This year we have group celebration instead of couple celebration. I had bad experiences of dining at restaurants on Valentine's Day. Expensive + poor food quality. So this year we'd rather save the money and have good food at Overseas Restaurant. 9 of us had dinner there. Hahha I know this is an odd number because we have a single and available friend joining us. Will introduce him later..
Us
Robert & Delia
Alex & Fion
Gee Chang & Su Ching
Our single and available friend..Lee Wei Jen!
That's the 9 of us. And Weijen get the chef to prepare for us the food. All the menu were prepared by the chef, which is his dad's friend. We just gave the amount of dishes that we want. In fact all the dishes prepared was good. Although some dishes is a bit weird..hahha you'll know what I mean when you see the photos.

And also fried rice and stir fried vegetables. But look at the fried oyster..
Hahha! Me and Delia were laughing all the way at the oyster and I ended up not eating it. Wth..
And now the birthday celebration for the boyfriend.
HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY DEAR! *muacks*
This is the audiences' request! LOL Weijen wants to see it desperately..so we perform to satisfy his Valentine's request..lol!

And that's my Valentine's dinner! How about yours? *wink*
I gotta stop here. I'm going for dinner with the boyfriend and I'll blog again maybe tonight!
Next entry..ZOUK!
