Shopping with iHerbs

Ni la jadi when my hands got itchy! Haha. Yes, online shopping. Gatal-gatal g browse here and there, then jumpa something new. Interested to try and yeah, below are the result. Haha! I purchased 4 items from iHerbs. Btw, if I'm not mistaken la kan.. I was browsing on Real Techniques makeup brush. I was about to place order with one of the IG shop selling pre-order items then I came across to this one blog (which I already forgot the link) on her post bout iHerbs. Interesting! Hehe. Then I compare the price and it seems iHerbs more cheaper! 

For example, Real Techniques makeup brush cost $18 (around RM60) and most of the IG shops are selling for RM80-RM150. Some are including postage and some are not. Guess what? Using iHerbs, I purchased 4 items for $39.98 (RM132)! Yes, including postage from US to Malaysia using DHL.

The best part is, I ordered on 13 March and 4 days later (17 March) I received the package! The shipping cost using DHL is $8.

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder

I think I've found my true love! Let me introduce you to Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder. The texture is very light and it has no color which mean it wont effect your foundation color. Therefore, the finishing is very natural! Love it. Check out below pics. :)

Hantu Mak Limah. :p

With only foundation (MAC NC42). Oh yeah, I'm in the mood of how-to-draw-eyebrow. Its been a week now and still experimenting. Forgive me for the ugly-looking-eyebrow. 

Now, no more Hantu Mak Limah. Haha. With Foundation (MAC NC42) + LMTLSP. My skin tone is even now and matte.    

Products I used for above look:

- Cathy Doll Pretty Volume Mascara

- Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder

- NARS blusher (Orgsam) 

- SimplySiti Eyebrow liner 

- Maybelline Baby Lips (Thank u Kak Fatima!)

- NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil

ELF & Revlon Lipsticks

To be honest, its been a while I stop buying cosmetics. First, due to my work which I dont need to put on makeup because I dont deal direct with customer like my previous job (Sales Advisor). Second is I work in shift, so wearing makeup at nite kinda too much I guess since the only thing I faced for 12 hours is my laptop. Haha. Same goes during the day shift. Most of my colleague are guys, and if I put on something such as eyeliner or noticeable lipstick color they will say sumthing like "ooo, makeup ehhh arini..". *_*

But now, I'm back being a makeup addict. Cannot tahan tengok my dearest Kak Fatima and her makeup collection. Everything look nice on her! Hehe. Okay, back to my recent purchase; elf Jumbo Gloss Stick (Sangria Starters) which I bought online. And another 2 Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm (225-Sultry Sulfureuse) and Lacquer Balm (125-Flirtatious Charmeuse) that I bought during my Bangkok trip last week.

From left (below picture) : Lacquer Balm (125-Flirtatious Charmeuse), Matte Balm (225-Sultry Sulfureuse), elf Jumbo Gloss Stick (Sangria Starters)

Without any lipstick on.

 Matte Balm (225-Sultry Sulfureuse)

Lacquer Balm (125-Flirtatious Charmeuse)

I'm not good at this, but I think you can get the famous Korean lip tint look using Lacquer Balm (125-Flirtatious Charmeuse)

I love all of them! Especially elf Jumbo Gloss Stick (Sangria Starters) because of the natural looks so nobody can notice it. Haha. I'm planing to get another elf Jumbo Gloss Stick color Umbrella soon. Hihi!

L'Oreal Magique Primer & L'Oreal True Match foundation

These two are my first L'Oreal product in my makeup family. The reason I bought Base Magique Primer is the packaging. I dunno why I always have this kind of perception on black and clear bottle packaging. It look so promising to me! 

The primer is in soft pink cream form and it feel smooth and silky. A small amount is required for each application, I try layer it twice and I dont like it. Its quite thick and it ruined my foundation. The purpose is to cover pores and wrinkle lines. Yes, it does it jobs nicely except it doesn't give glow effect. Since my face is not that perfect, I mean there are some scars and I used the scar remover cream/skincare which made my skin dry. So the area around my scar is a bit flaky and dry. I thought it will cover those things but NO. 

After the primer then I applied L'Oreal True Match foundation. It a light weight foundation for me, maybe because I've been using the MAC foundation for sometimes. For MAC, the texture is quite thick and can cover up my scars easily. But for L'Oreal True Match foundation, I need to apply few layers. This will make my skin look brighter than the original color and the face tone is different than the neck tone. I'm not sure if I like this foundation or not, I'll give another chance for it to prove me something good.

ootd #2 : Flowers Bloom in Winter

My cousin and I dah kebosanan tahap terlampau last tuesday and we decided untuk keluar makan-makan, having fun in our own way. We got no plan where to go actually so we just follow where ever the road lead us and finally kami sampai ke Damansara. Singgah Wondermilk for lunch, late lunch actually. Hungry to the max! Both of us ordered Aglio Olio. It was a quick lunch, then we headed to Empire Damansara Perdana. My cousin eagerly nak visit this place, she said ada hanging umbrellas. But sadly during our visit, they changed to Chinese New Year decoration. Pity her, frustrated! Hopefully they will change it back to those umbrellas. Since the place sangat-sangat awesome, surely ada sesi bergambar. Hihi! Enjoy my feeling-feeling ootd pictures. Plus lately the weather were so nice. Sort of "winter" in Malaysia. Love it!

Outfit :

Scarf : ZULAYKHA

Top : Milktee

Dream come true - Paradise Island Resort, Maldives (Part 5)

For this entry, nothing much to story. Basically it just a day visit to the resort located on another island, Paradise Island Resort. Truly a paradise! Once reached the jetty I was like speechless. The view was too beautiful. We were greeted by the friendly staff and some explanation given to us. They provided us with a map! Besar jugak island ni. No wonder siap bagi map. So we decided to jalan-jalan pusing island first, then go mandi-manda. Since the island agak besar, we just skipped some places and pergi yang penting je such as visit water villa, shark point and mandi laut! Shark point and water villa padahal tempat sama je but the distance from one place to another place agak jauh and we kinda tired jalan here and there. But for the sake of nak tengok shark, kami redah jalan. Haha! 

Dah penat jalan kami decided untuk mandi-manda since lunch hour dalam 2-3 hours lagi. No wet clothes allowed I guess kat restaurant. Serious I macam rasa serba salah, antara nak duk dalam air or makan. Haha! Kalau bukan sebab dah bayar for food memang confirm tak keluar dari air. The funny part was, one of my friend tertinggal his short untuk mandi pantai. He went to the shop nak beli seluar baru but mahal, tak berbaloi! Then the staff cakap boleh rent, so he went to another place yang staff tu tunjuk. Its like on the opposite direction from that place. Like I said earlier, the distance between each place agak jauh, dia malas nak jalan dah so dia redha je lah mandi pakai jeans. Pastu g restaurant untuk lunch pakai towel sebab jeans tadi dia jemurkan atas batu nak bagi kering. Hihi.

After lunch, lagi satu hal nak mencari masjid. Nampak ada masjid dalam map but we couldnt find it walau dah jauh bjalan. Every buggy yang lalu lalang tu asyik full with penumpang and stuff! Lenguh dah kaki ni. Then kami tanya staff yang tengah kemas bilik where is the mosque, and he pointed inside the fence. Memang takkan jumpa la disebalik dinding tinggi tu. Kat dinding fence tu stated for staff only. Lol! Lepas solat rasa nak pengsan je sebab jauh lagi perjalanan to the jetty area. Sigh! We lepak area jetty while wating for the boat to arrive. Sedih nak balik dah. :(

Breakfast provided by our hotel, HolidayMakers Inn.

View from the airport jetty, mostly untuk bawa guest to resort.

See! Jauh kan?

Love the greenery! 

Water villa! We cant afford this!

Shark! Shark! Shark!

Secret entrance to heaven!

Our lunch buffet! Both pasta were delicious. Nasi lauk-lauk and dessert pon sedap. 

Last moment untuk enjoy the awesome view. 

Sampai hotel around 6 if I'm not mistaken. Mandi and rehat while waiting for dinner. Kami g dinner kat hotel sebelah. The restaurant located on the roof top of Fern Bouqete Inn. Dinner under the stars yaw! Haha. Actually behind them tu laut but cant see sebab gelap, we can only hear ombak menghempas pantai and enjoy the sea breeze while makan. Kami order grilled jumbo prawn with rice and vegies. Sedap!!! The best grill prawn I ever had. Tak cukup sepinggan tapi nanti kalau tamak rugi pulak. Haha! Harga? Not that cheap walaupon dorang negara laut. This meal was around RM60 and the lobster dish around RM200! Baru berangan hari-hari nak makan lobster. :p
