Colours Cosmetics Malaysia colours my world

Let's talk shopping today, shall we?

Just like any typical girl, I love shopping because it makes me forget about my worries temporarily and if I have a mood swing or anything close to feeling bad, shopping therapy always helps. My shopping therapy have forever been cosmetic shopping and not fashion haul because I don't like shopping for clothes alone.

Now, I know how cosmetic shopping can be a pretty purse-damaging hobby because not everyone can afford everything and not everything are available easily, especially if you wanna get something from the US market - in this case, let's talk NYX Cosmetics!

I mean, of course, you can join sprees from LYN if you are a Malaysian, wanting to get anything from the US but let's say you are someone like me and you don't like waiting for the items for months, what should you do?

Well... first fact- you're just like me - you hate waiting. Hahahaha! Second, there are always ready-stock items available if you look hard enough!

So, lemme introduce an online cosmetic boutique - Colours Cosmetics Malaysia.


If you don't know yet, Colours Cosmetics Malaysia have a number of readily stocked NYX products for you make-up junkies out there. If I am not mistaken, they ship to Singapore as well - ask and you shall receive.

I have basically gotten most of my previous NYX products from Colour Cosmetics Malaysia because again, #1 fact - fairly priced and very affordable considering other brands like L'Oreal, Revlon or Maybelline products retail at higher prices. #2 fact - their service is super fast. By saying fast, look at it this way, I ordered several items when I was at Sarawak and imagine having the items the next day after the payment is done. If you don't know yet, Colours Cosmetics is based in Penang. Like how fast can their service gets, right?

I have met blogshop owners that ship out my orders 2 to 3 days late and there were times when I had to wait 3 to 4 days for Poslaju within KL! Phewww... I get agitated whenever my orders come late. I am sure you all know what I mean.

As of now, let's take a peek at what kind of NYX products they have in store for you!

~ Courtesy of Colours Cosmetics Malaysia ~

These are only a number of highly raved products. They have a lot more in store so, do check them out. If you are interested, here is the list of the NYX products that I bought from them.

Powder blushes like Summer Peach and AngelNYX HD Eye Shadow BaseNYX Lip Lacquer Pot in Sweet Pea and also NYX Haute Jersey Leopard Couture.

There are more! Click herehere and here if you wanna know what products I have gotten from them since their early days!

Well... one can never have enough NYX products!

From time to time, the wonderful people behind Colours Cosmetics will organize pre-orders so if there are certain NYX products that you want and they are not in store, you can always join the sprees.

Don't worry about the prices! I can assure you Colours Cosmetics always prices their products fairly!

If you don't know yet, aside from NYX, if you are a fan of Sigma products, you are at the right place! The infamous Sigma brushes are available in store!


Brushes are available individually or you can always opt for sets like Mr. and Mrs. Bunny.

Other than brushes, I believe they do have the limited edition Sigma Paris Palette in store but well... since it's limited edition, only a few are available. I got mine from there. Actually, it's my second Paris Palette because the first one was stolen.


Sometimes, there are pre-orders from Sigma too! So, keep your eyes open wide and look out for their pre-orders!

Not enough?

How about some lip cares products from Crazy Rumors?


They have it in store too!

Like how amazing can things go, right?

Colours Cosmetics Malaysia has quite a number of NEW ARRIVALS lately and girls, if you are a big fan of NARS and TARTE Cosmetics, quickly head over to their blogshop! They have limited ready stocks for these items!

Well, if there are other things like L'Oreal or even Monistat, they have it in store too!

From last I heard, there will be more items from other brands coming in soon so, keep your eyes open and be sure to check out their blogshop from time to time, especially to all my Malaysian make-up lovers out there!

Okay, next issue - TRUST!

From what I am aware of, as online shoppers, we tend to be cautious with whom we purchase our items from because we are scared of fraud and authenticity of the items especially if we are dealing with cosmetics which are applied onto our faces. If you are unsure, do head to their website, they can show you the certificate of authenticity there.

They have never fail to WOW me with their services and also products!

I have been with Colours Cosmetics Malaysia since it first started few years back and personally, I have the privilege to meet the people behind Colours Cosmetics and believe me, they are AWESOME! Yes, awesome to the point you would wish you guys are friends!

I am NOT paid to tell you how good Colours Cosmetics Malaysia is or how fast their service is. It is just I have dealt with them for so many times and boy, am I glad I've got to know them!

What are you waiting for? Head over to Colours Cosmetics Malaysia and start shopping!

Return, without a 'bang'!

As promised, I will be getting back on blogging track as soon as I get a new laptop and here I am now, blogging with a new laptop that is not mine but well... temporarily mine. LOLX!

If you are wondering why, my house was broken into my some asshole of thieves the day I got back home from KL and those bastards practically took everything. Yes, when I've said everything, it includes my traincase full of makeup as well as all my skin care products I've just bought from Clinique and Lancôme. Imagine how could I not gone weak on my knees when I got home from the church that very night and saw my living room in a mess with my stuffs gone. All my precious pictures in my laptop and external hard disk were gone too, thus, I was unable to even blog about it.

The whole experience left me really upset and moody because I treasure all my stuffs, laptop and pictures! All these years of memories were gone because of those assholes! I curse them. Yes, right, I really do curse them and their descendants that they'll all die ugly deaths! Do not blame me for cursing them because they even took the earrings my late grandmother left for my mother. You tell me, if you were me, how would you feel?

Whatever that is, I don't really want to know except that these people deserve to have their limbs amputated for stealing.

Anyway, thanks to these suckers, I have to spend a fortune to get new make-up and also skin care products. The downside to it, although I get to buy new products, I can no longer afford branded skin care or make-up products. FML!

I only had RM500 in my possession the day I went out to get new stuffs because a lot of brands I am using are not available at my hometown and I do not want to pay extra to ask people to post these stuffs back to me since postage would be hefty!

So, I picked up whatever that are available and I practically spent like RM474 on all the stuffs you see in the picture below.

Definitely not everything that I need but since I desperately needed make-up products for my BFF's wedding, I had to get something. I figured out I didn't wanna spend too much on irrelevant products this time around so, I ended up getting only those products I am familiar with and have been using. This includes products I have been loving exception for the new Shiseido liquid foundation and brush.

I have been raving the Shiseido foundation brush for quite some time after reading Paris B's review on it a few months back. I had no plan on getting one back then because I had my trusty ELF foundation brush but since I no longer had it, I wanted to get a really good brush that is worth every penny.

Anyway, that is a story for another day.

Aside from that, since Lioele Malaysia is having it's grand opening sales, I dropped by because of the 10% discount as well as freebies!

They gave away freebies worth RM88 with every purchase of RM100. LOLX!

Best of all, these freebies come with really cute and pink carry-around cardbox - I am a sucker for cute and illogical packaging!

I bought a concealer and also shimmer base. The lip pencil belongs to stupid sister. At present time, I am hooked to my Revlon Lip Butters so, other lip products may have to wait a bit.

Wanna take a peek what is inside the cute freebies' box?

Here you go!

In total, I've spent more than RM600 to get these products and I've yet to get any decent eyeshadows or primers. I guess I would have been a dead cow by the end of this month because my current skin care products are going to be used up in half month or so and FML, where the hell am I gonna find so much moo-lah to buy new stuffs?

Excessive shopping doesn't do you good if you're gonna move. I know, I know... it's that time of the year again where I have to move to a new place but this time around, I've decided that I wanna move back to my hometown.

Well, not moving back for good but I will be there for a period of time because I am really fed up with the thought of having to worry where should I stay and what should I do. At least when I'm at home, my parents have a shelter ready for me and I get my own personal room and washroom.

Rendezvous of the week

My life has been pretty dull and boring lately.

Yeah, I know - I am a boring person by nature hence it explains why I am still single and hating it.

One of my cousins came from Sydney for a visit and I was really glad to see her since it probably has been more than 2 years since I last seen her. I actually forgot to take a picture with her but this time around, she brought me some birthday gifts all the way from Australia - my favourite Carmex lip balms and some perfumes too. Too bad no pictures taken because I was too busy sorting out my gifts.

Just before she left for her 7-month expedition to Burma, Vietnam, Cambodia, China and Europe, she handed me surprise gift from Sephora. Indeed, I was wondering what she got for me since she said she chose them randomly since she wasn't sure what to get for me.

My first nail lacquers from Sephora thanks to my dearest cousin!

Mum was asking, "How much does a bottle of the nail lacquer cost?"

I showed her the receipt and she went, "What?! RM21 for just one tiny bottle?!"

Yes, correct, RM21 for one bottle. I'd never bring myself to spend more than RM10 for a bottle of nail lacquer actually. Call me cheapskate but yeah, that's me!

After my cousin left for Burma, mum and my stupid brother brought me on a shopping spree. Yeah, I forgot to mention that my mum came for a visit.

She got me my long awaited sunscreen because according to her, it is high time that I start using sun protection products since I will hit 30 like, real soon. LOLX!

I actually chose another product - a moisturizer with SPF protection since I ran out of my Olay Moisturizer with SPF. Since I have another an additional moisturizer in my possession, I figured out I should at least finish it up but I need a sun protection product!

Stupid brother actually gave me RM100 voucher as my birthday present which I gave away RM50 voucher to mum and I was left with another RM50. Initially, I intended to use that voucher to exchange for some skincare products but stupid brother kept on hinting that I should buy more and get more vouchers! In the end, I spent RM207 to get the following skincare products and an additional RM30 vouchers.

RM207 for two products from Clinique.

So, there I had it, no birthday present from my brother this year! Craps!

Mr. Elder brother, if you're reading this, I want SKII Miracle Treatment Essence!!!

Anyway, he did bring mum and I for nice lunch at Ben's at KLCC though. Our experience there was kinda pleasant but mum noticed a great big rat ran across the floor as soon as she was seated! She told the staff about it and they kept on searching high and low for that rat!

Rat issue aside as of now. These are the pictures of the interior of Ben's at KLCC. Pictures were 'borrowed' from Drops of Contentment and Goody Foodies since I forgot to take them.

The atmosphere was quite comfortable and cozy! Mum enjoyed laying back on the sofa after lunch just to chat with us.

The menu was quite unique too.

Something that looked like handwriting!

Okay, here are pictures of our orders of the day!

The soup paired with crusty and crunchy garlic bread tasted really good at Ben's. I mean, I am not that kinda person who is easily intrigued with mushroom soups served with garlic breads because I have eaten worst soups ever. This soup tasted buttery and it did smell good upon serving. The soup wasn't overly sticky or something like that but I did notice a generous portion of chopped mushrooms - which was good!

I don't usually order salads or stuffs like that when it comes to eating out. I mean, for that price that you're gonna pay, you can buy the ingredients and make 5 to 6 servings of salads at home!

Since it was my brother's treat and recommendation, I guess it was okay. Hahaha. Sorry that I am being a cheapskate again. It just happens randomly.

I truly enjoy Ben's House Salad. I've never tried avocado before and even though it did taste like butter, at least I knew it was healthier than butter. LOLX! The salad dressing was something I really like - couldn't figure out what dressing they used. Topped with sesame and edamame, I can only use one word to describe this dish - heavenly!

When this dish came, I was thinking, "Craps... how can they serve such a pathetic looking dish?!"

Honestly, it didn't taste as pathetic as it looked. Hahaha... I liked the taste of rice mixed with the fish roe. Nom, nom, nom... Topping salmon with sesame seeds is indeed a wise thing to do - crusty! Mum finished up the portion of salad that came with it.

We ordered Quiche Lorraine but I forgot to take picture of it since mum digged into the pie right as soon as it was served and I didn't make it to take picture of that dish. Hence, I 'stole' the picture from Goody Foodie.

Quiche has to be one of my favourite pies! I've had fair amount of quiches when I was with Starbucks and Ben's has tastier quiches! This pie had streaks of beef bacons and I loved it!

The final dish which came to us as a mistake and we ended up pushing it away because it was served wrongly and we only came to notice the wrong order after we digged into the pie!

Mum's Cottage Pie was superb. Mum was asking, "If I knew it was wrong order but it tastes good, I wouldn't send it away!"

She was right, when we digged into the pie, we saw a generous portion of beef. Since it was served hot, it tasted real good!

I guess I will be going to Ben's sometime next month or so. I am so broke this month!

If you're interested, here's the address.

Ben's KLCC (opposite Harrods)

Lot 140, 1st Floor,
Suria KLCC
Kuala Lumpur City Centre
50088 Kuala Lumpur. 
Tel: +603-21631655 

Opening Hours: 10am-11pm

Fret not for those who don't want to be caught in traffic jam going to KLCC. There's another outlet opening at Publika Shopping Center, Sri Hartamas. If you're staying somewhere nearby Jalan Ipoh, Segambut, Kepong, Damansara, Mont Kiara or Sri Hartamas, you can opt for this outlet instead.

The weekend ended on Sunday and I sent mum off to the airport. I guess it'll  take another period of time before I get to see my parents again.

Anyway, I'm signing off from here. Remember to wish me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY  tomorrow since I am hitting late twenties on 10th April!

Guess who went shopping again?

Happy Malaysia Day, people!

For those of you who are having holiday today, good news for you and an extra reason for you to go shopping but for those of you i.e. ME, who are still working as of today until 7pm, booo hooo... bad news and nothing to look forward too...

But then again, yeah, guess who went shopping last week?


Yeah... the answer is obvious and it's me! Hahaha... Lame and cold joke but I loike, I loike! Makeup products replenishing time even though I still have lotsa products lying about in my room.


Not to worry, not to worry... yours truly did not splurge. Instead, I just bought 4 items from CociCoci, Midvalley. Hahaha... You bet, it is products from Essence again!


Yeah, I bought 2 lip liners and 2 lipsticks because I am so in love with the very moisturizing lipsticks. As of the lip liners, they're so, so creamy that they glide on easily!

~ Lipsticks in Fashionista and Glam Love ~

I was quite disappointed for the fact that I did not manage to get the lipstick in Almost Famous. Darn... I want that shade so, so much because it's red and I am learning to wear red.

Isabel, 加油, aza-aza fighting, ka yao in learning to wear red lipsticks too!

~ Lip liners in Nude Coral and Cute Pink ~

There are no swatches as of today because I haven't try out those products yet since I am a very, very busy person. LOLX!

Anyway, I gotta get going now - work's calling!

Happy weekend, people!

Ways to reward yourself

I am bored.

Yes, I am freaking bored can die.

I've done going out with friends for the RM2 sushi bonanza at Sushi King.

I've done going in and out of my room.

I've done jumping on my bed.

But I am still bored.

Hence, I'm going to share with you all ways to reward yourself especially after you've been through so many ups and downs but mind you, these are NOT ways to reward yourself if you've dumped your boyfriend or girlfriend or being dumped by them.

These are ways to reward yourself if you're losing weight.

No joke, once you're losing weight, you'll be motivated to do whatever I've done! I'm just educating you all the wrong way.

For viewers under 21 years of age, shoo, shoo! I know your parents are gonna strangle me after you've read this entry because... I'm teaching you how to spend your money wisely.

Hence, Imma gonna teach you how to reward yourself because I went through a total of 4 months trying to lose those 14kg of fat.

First of all, you SHOULD have a wishlist that you want to do when you've just embarked on your weight loss journey. My wishlist is...
  1. Able to put on my old clothes. CHECKED!
  2. Buy more sexy and curvilicious dresses to show off. CHECKED!
  3. Buy more skirts than jeans because I love mini skirts. CHECKED!
  4. Pamper myself with my love, Urban Decay. DOUBLE CHECKED!!!
  5. Dump my old clothes. TRIPLE CHECKED!!!
  6. Buy more formal dresses - splurged too much on normal ones.
  7. Quit the habit of eating fast food - eating less and less.
  8. Travel to Korea to meet oppa - this is a must!
Hence, those are in my wishlist. Hahaha... I expect a lot from myself. Still, I have limitations because I need money to undo the limitations. That's why I told you, if you're under 21 years of age, don't read this!

Merdeka Day Haul

You know what?

I have this love-hate relationship with myself sometimes.

I hate myself when I'm procrastinating but I love myself when it comes to shopping. I mean, hey, which girl doesn't like shopping, you tell me.

Hence, shopping is my middle name. Now, if only I could get a rich boyfriend, everything would be solved. Muahahaha...

*evil grin*

Please don't hate me because I'm going to hien my stuffs again but don't worry, they're not at all more than RM10 each exception for my make-up brush pouch, which was RM27. But,hey... it's soooo worth it, okay? My babies have been put away, naked, for quite some times and they need shelter too!


I've been thinking and thinking to get this pouch for quite some time because the bristles of my make-up brushes are slowly going out of shape, hence, this pouch is a must! If I don't buy this pouch, I bet I'm going to regret forever because some of my make-up brushes are not cheap and not available in Malaysia. For RM27, the material is really good.


See... The brushes look happy. LOLX!

The next item is...

*drums roll*


I hate to admit it but I have black and white heads residing on my chin and not nose. How weird is that? Thus, Biore Pore Pack has always been my best friend but the thing about that pore pack is that it doesn't come cheap.

Hence, the other day, I found another alternative from Watson and they're selling this Japanese Pore Pack for RM8.80 only for 10 pieces. That means it's RM0.88 per piece and it's RM0.40 cheaper than Biore's.

It works exactly like Biore's, so... definitely recommended!

I've been wanting to get a pantyhose and also leggings for quite some time already because the old ones are spoilt.


So, I bought pantyhose at RM3.90 only and leggings for RM9.90 only! Cheap or not? These are for CNY, so, don't say I'm rich because I know all of you out there will be buying something more than just RM3.90 + RM9.90 = RM13.80 for CNY.

Yes, CNY, you didn't read wrongly. I won't be at KL for more shopping spree any time in December or January, hence, I need to shop for CNY now.

Alright... the last one in the list actually is pretty irrelevant but still, I bought it because it's just soooooo freaking cute.


I wanted to settle for a pink contact lenses' case but the pink one is really ugly, hence, it explains why I bought a blue one instead.

The price is... well... this one is uber cheap. RM3 only.

Well, that's all for Merdeka Day!

Buh-bye!

Femme City 2010

This is truly one of the most amazing experience of mine, being able to work in this expo. Hence, I am thankful to my cousins for inviting me and stupid sister to join them for the 3-day expo at KLCC, Hall 5. Hahaha... If you've never been exposed to any expo at KLCC, you're at loss!

Work started from Thursday with the moving-around of boxes of products from our outlet at Kepong to KLCC and it ended on Sunday evening.

It was a torture wearing high heels and standing and walking around for around 10 hours, 3 days in a row but the experience was worthwhile, hence, no complaining even though my feet are still cramped right now.

Lemme share with you all how our booth looked like.


Now, please say you love us because we spent more than 5 hours, trying to put everything up before the expo and all of us were dead tired by the time everything ended. Even so, we still needed to attend product training!

Best of all, I get to kap zai during the expo. LOLX! That's me! Well, not a lot of leng zai but then, I met the infamous Joey Yap, who is the founder and master trainer at the Mastery Academy of Metaphysics.

If you don't know him, shame on you. Hahahaha...


He is truly MY TYPE - hence, you can strangle me now. I've met him in person and now, I can go langgar dinding already. Darn... he's so good-looking!

Besides that, I've got to know another heart-throb from Italy, whose name is Alex. I'll leave that for another day. Anyway, share with you all another entry soon!

I wanna go to MNG now!!!

Tuesday, March 16, 2010

Show off time!

Muahahahaha... After so long of keeping a very low profile, now, it's time for me to show off for once again!

Yeah, baby, I am back, showing off...


My big, fat arse... Hahaha... just like the saying goes, if you have got it, flaunt it.

I bet there's no sin in showing off your butt, right? I know, you saw a wet spot on my butt but I didn't wet myself and I wasn't even feeling horny. I accidentally sat on a pool on water, that's all. My brother found it amusing and told me to take a picture of my big butt.

Lame.

Alright, I know.

But I'm not here to show you my butt because, I'm gentler and more ladylike now as if, hence, you've to trust me that a lady wouldn't be carrying out those acts.

* aherm *

If you don't trust me, look at the picture below, see... this is me... I am shu nv...


Minus my usual glasses because I am wearing Geo Lens in Angel Brown.

Now, it's the time to SHOW OFF... I am a big show off, I know and now, lemme present to you... my proudest purchase of the month!


You're not wrong, it's Paris Hilton alright but not in person but her line of purse. LOL... I know I'm super lame but hey, this girl, a.k.a. me, yours truly, worked hard for the money, okay? The money used to buy this purse didn't fall from the sky!

I was eyeing the other purse actually but they ran out of stock...

Feel so much better after showing off now!

Babai!

As promised...

I know my blog is practically dead and I am practically dead too - sad to say that.

But hey, at least I do update it from time to time. I'm trying to give it CPR. Who knows I might just be able to revive it to it's age of glory, like before, right?

*sob, sob*

There goes the age of glory - 4 or 5 years back.

Anyway, enough of craps and let me tell you how my life has been since my last update.



There, my most recent picture with stupid sister. We went steamboating and gawd, I looked so fat in the picture, I know. Thank you for reminding. One thing - I lurve my top and how it compliments my curve! Credits to Jessabella for bringing in such lovely top! On, I had the cardigan one just because I don't need to show off my 'assets.'

Muahahaha...

*evil grins*

Then, I found my best mascara-friend, thanks to Relian fiber mascara for elongating as well as intensifying my lashes like mad, yeah, practically MADDENINGLY long and full!



You know how I used to grieve over having short lashes and I bet Alice knows how bad I've wanted longer and fuller lashes but I never did go for lash extension because I am darn poor and broke.



Above is a closer shot. Apologies for my oily skin. Lately, due to the deadly hot weather, I'm having the worst outbreaks ever. Pimples, acnes, whiteheads, blackheads and also enlarged pores can be seen everywhere on my poor face.

LMAO... Like this how to get a boyfriend?

Sure have to be andartua as being proposed by my brother already!

Andartua = anak dara tua in which it is equivalent to old virgin.

CCB, KNS... Die you hot weather - I solemnly condemn you to death! If I can't get married or even find a boyfriend in the next 3 years, I will...

I will...


I will...

Condemn you...

By...

Keeping my mouth shut.

Then again, I've taken up Korean Language lately. Hopefully by beginning of next year I'd be able to converse a little in Korean. Oppa has been guiding me all along and yes...

고마워, 오빠!

Now, the thing is about writing and remembering the written form...



It's tough but I guess it isn't any tougher than Mandarin, I'd say. At least in a week, I've learnt to read and write the following...

  1. 안녕하세요 which is read as annyeonghaseyo as in greetings.
  2. 안녕히주무세요 which is read as in annyeongijumuseyo as in good night.
  3. 안녕히가세요 which is read as anmyeongikaseyo as in goodbye when you are leaving.
  4. 사랑해 which is read as saranghae as internationally known as I love you.

Wah... can die la like this... four freaking sentences in a week. Hahaha... Anyway, the second last thing tat I've been doing is playing around with my nails in which I broke 2 of them and damn painful can die and go straight to heaven because I'm such an angel.



Hey, don't criticize my work of art, okay? I'm a beginner in this manicure thingy. At least I did make an effort to try dressing up my nails.

Sorry, Imma not gonna show you my broken nails or else you'll puke at the state of it. They bled when the nails were broken but nevertheless, I didn't cry. I did SCREAM and YELL and GROAN for half an hour or so.

Yesterday, I scalded my fingers when I was preparing dinner, in which it's a good news. Muahahaha... I can't bend my fingers now but I still blog.

Anyway, I gotta get going now. Have tons of things to do and I have another 6 year-old child to tutor. Take care, friends and strangers, until we meet again!

Love from Daiso

When it comes to make-up products, I am usually very particular about the products I purchase or going to purchase. I usually do a lot of researches before I finally decide to buy certain products. I'd say 90% of the products I have are branded ones because I don't want to wake up in the morning with a ruined face due to the use of cheapo make-up products.

Somehow, I was proven wrong - I don't know why... well, yeah, high maintenance is just another word to describe me so, beware my future husband, your future wife here is uberly high maintenance. Muahaha...

We shall leave that topic out, shall we?

Anyway, I was out with Darlingkin last week and was over at Daiso, The Curve. I know, I haven't blog about anything on our date yet because I'm waiting for him to blog about it. Haha... I have yet to edit the pictures but coming soon, I promise.

Geez, I get diverted pretty easily, don't I?

Well, we were at Daiso when I checked out the make-up products available because I've read the review from Connie regarding the products there. I was very doubtful of the foundation, so, I didn't buy it. After half an hour to one hour or maybe more than that... these were what I have bought...


1. Concealer
2. Blusher
3. Eyebrow pencil
4. Eyeshadow

Total damage to my purse - RM20. Ah, RM20 is still affordable for 4 products, right? I mean when I bought the infamous Empro Eyebrow Pencil, it cost me RM38.80! I can't deny the fact that this eyebrow pencil does it's job in a superb manner and I really love it but imagine how many beauty products I can get with RM38.80 at Daiso - seven, alright, seven!

First of all, the concealer really does do magic. I mean for a tiny amount of RM5, the concealer is really good already! It covers my zit and blemish with medium to full coverage! This is worth buying!

Next up is the blusher...


Highlight is included in the blusher set. The only thing I don't like about this set is that it is too powdery and the colours don't shine through well. I have to put layers and layers of the pinkish shade before you can notice the blusher on my cheeks.

Well, RM5 only, so, no complain.

Third is the eyeshadow set...


Can you see the shimmers? Gosh, it's even more majestic than that in real life! The colour is really beautiful, mind you!

I was really surprised with the eyeshadow in fact! Look at the pigmentation of the eyeshadow below...


It can ALMOST beat Coastal Scent's 88 colour palatte already if it is not so powdery! Damn... I fell in love with the colours right on the spot when I saw it. Even Darling was amazed how long I could stay there just to choose the right colours for myself!

I attempted a look using all the products I bought from Daiso the next day and this is what I have achieved!


Is it bad? Please tell me I look good, pretty please...

Close-up pictures!


Sorry for the ugly zits! I didn't conceal and was just attempting and didn't wanna waste foundation or anything. Stingy me!

On the whole I am quite satisfied with the products. Out of a full five-star rating, I'd give the products a 3. I'm being quite generous already!

Alright, before I go... here you go, a picture of me, attempting to pose like Amber Chia...


In the end... I failed... so, I'm going to bed now... Good night, everyone!
