April 2016 Favorites!

Hello!
This month flew by so quickly with the travelling that I did and revising for exams. As usual, my monthly favorites is not only beauty/makeup related but also other miscellaneous things that I love from that month.

Yogyakarta travels with Bella

I get to travel with my best friend for the first time and it was crazy amazing. Yogyakarta is a city full of wonders. We were there for a week and it wasn't enough for sure. Here is some of the pictures that I took while I was in Yogyakarta with Bella.

And the amazing Indo food!

Oh god, nothing beats Indonesian food.


Too faced Chocolate Bon Bons palette

This palette is everything! I've been wanting to get a new eye palette for months now to replace my Urban Decay Naked basic palette. I was contemplating between the Tartelette in bloom or Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons palette. Obviously I settled down with the Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons palette. The packaging is too cute and the chocolate smell! OH MY GOD.

Here is the swatches of the colours that I use the most. This is with only one swipe on the eyeshadow.

Starting from the top it's

• Molasses Chip
• Mocha
• Satin Sheets
• Dark Truffle
• Bordeaux
• Sprinkles

You can definitely use Satin Sheets as a highlighter, I've done it before. They are super pigmented. I would recommend this for sure! 

Price: RM199

False Lashes

I've been using false lashes almost everyday and realised what a difference it makes for my makeup look. I started using them when I was in Indonesia just trying it out and I've been loving it ever since. 

These are the one I bought from Indonesia

I totally forgot how much they are but I'm pretty sure that they are under RM10! They don't last very long though, I'd say around 3 times use.

This is my favorite eyelash from Daiso and it's only RM5.30! This doesn't come with an eyelash glue. I bought my eyelash glue from Indonesia. 

Korean Dramas

I'm not sure why I just started watching Korean drama because it's amazing! The first drama that I watched is Angel Eyes and it had me weepin every episode. Literally every episode I was bawlin my eyes out. 

It's so sweet yet heart breaking and also frustrating to watch. I'm currently watching The Heirs and it's pretty exciting to watch. Do you have any korean drama recommendation? Do let me know!

First ever published article

This means a lot to me since it is the first article that I wrote for a company and earn from it. I'm so proud of myself for this. It may seem simple but I'm so proud!

Indonesian makeup haul!

Hello!

This is a super super exciting blog post for me to write. I've been wanting to try Indonesian makeup for ages now and I finally have the time to purchase them. I bought most of them from  Mirota in Yogyakarta. Although I will explain in details where I bought each of the items...

Lets start with the Purbasari Matte lipsticks!

I've heard a lot of good reviews over this lipsticks in the Indonesian beauty community. I bought them online through an online shop. I got them in the shade EC81 and EC90. Each of them costs RP 34.000

Wardah luminous liquid foundation

This is the most exciting item that I wanted to try. I've tried one of the bb cream from Wardah and it was OKAY. I got these on discount for RP 31.000 from RP 37.000 from Mirota!

Wardah and Viva lipsticks

Now I'm just hoarding lipsticks. But I couldn't resist they were so cheap! Viva is one of the top makeup brand in Indonesia for years now and Wardah too. I bought the Wardah lipstick for RP 30.000 in Mirota in the shade Velvety brown number 14 ( Matte lipstick) and the Viva moisture lipstick in number 123 for RP 27.000

Falsies!

I've been into false lashes lately and I figured I'd try more when I'm in Indonesia. I've heard of the brand Elise previously so this was the first fake eyelash that I bought. It's around RP 25.000 . While writing this blog post I'm actually using the La Belle fake eyelash. This was so cheap it was only RP 6.000! I totally forgot where I got them from but it's one of the mall in Yogyakarta.

Faux Mac makeup brushes?

Now, I'm pretty sure these brushes is not real Mac brushes. The price is way cheaper than a Mac brush. Although they feel similar! I haven't try them yet...


There is 1 more thing that I bought and didn't take a picture of which is the eye lash glue. I had so much fun purchasing each one of the items. If you're interested on a full review of one of them do let me know!
