May 2016 favorites!

Hello! 

I feel like May is a really slow month. Maybe it's because it's my semester break and I didn't go anywhere and stayed in Bandar Sunway. However, I do have a few favorites to share with you guys ! I'll start with the Skin care, makeup and then move on with the miscellaneous favorites.

#1  Rohto Hadalabo Gokujun cleansing oil

I bought this cleanser at the start of the month. I wanted to start double cleansing to help with clearing up my face. I wear makeup almost everyday with a sunscreen on. I feel like just using my Clinique cleanser didn't remove all of the makeup and that might be the cause of my skin being dull and breaking out. I wrote a full review of the Hadalabo cleansing oil here http://blogpostsbyrf.blogspot.my/2016/05/review-hada-labo-cleansing-oil.html .  

It is the end of the month now and I still love this cleanser. It works so well in removing my sunscreen and foundation. This is definitely an item that I will repurchase. 

#2 Sheet masks

I have a lot of time in my hand this month so I decided to pamper myself more often by getting sheet masks. I used to HATE sheet masks.I thought there were a lot of excess products that gets thrown away and that it's too slippery on my face. I was wrong. Sheet masks is wonderful. I haven't try a lot of sheet masks but my favorites are Tony Moly pureness snail mask and Innisfree skin clinic BHA mask. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to get a picture of the masks myself ...

#3 Vaseline

This is an interesting favorite. I ran out of both of my Burt's bees lip balm that I love so much. As you know as a university student you'd go broke at the end of the month. Thank god I had Vaseline laying around. My lips get chapped and dry so easily. Vaseline is an awesome beauty product. It's multipurpose. I've use Vaseline for my chapped lips and it's amazing. I've use Vaseline as a scrub, mixing it with sugar and it works amazingly as well. 

Price: Less than RM 5 

#4 Eyelash extensions

I got my eyelash extension for the first time at the start of the month and it was amazing. I had an amazing experience. The full first impression blog post is here http://blogpostsbyrf.blogspot.my/2016/05/first-impression-eyelash-extension.html. It's been atleast 3 weeks and a lot of the eyelash did fall out. Although it's still long and beautiful and I love it. By getting my eyelash done it saves me a lot of time when getting ready. I didn't have to put on false eyelash.

#5 TV show - Running man

I spent most of the time of my semester break watching Running man. I have no idea why I just started watching this show. It's so funny! Running man is a game show where the members will play different kind of games in every episode. There are guests as well in some of the episode. I love Monday couple. I love Ji Hyo and Kwang Soo. All of the Running man members is so fun to watch. My favorite episode has to be the one where they went to Indonesia and Australia! 

I hope my monthly favorites blog post is enjoyable to read. I love writing about my favorites at the end of the month. My blog have grown so much lately and I'm so happy and thankful for each of you that's reading it.

First impression: Eyelash extension!

Hello!
I'm writing this blog post on the day that I got my eyelash extension done which is the 4th of May 2016.

I've been wanting to get eyelash extension done for months now and I've finally decided to do it today! Well I decided to do it a week ago but I got them done today! I don't hate my natural lashes but I love long lashes. After a friend of mine got hers done ( Hanna ) , it really triggered me to get my eyelashes done as well . Previously, I was worried of it being painful somehow or that it'll go wrong?

C-curl 9,10,11,12mm

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

I made an appointment at the Apple nails & SPA at Nadayu 28 , Petaling Jaya. I made the appointment just last night through their Facebook page. The procedure to get eyelash extension took around 1 hour and 15 minutes. My eyelashes was done By Rita. She was so friendly and explained everything to me. The procedure doesn't feel like anything at all. It's not irritating or uncomfortable. I just had to lay there with my eyes closed for 1 hour and 15 minutes. So it was somehow soothing?

At this point  I don't feel any irritation at all. My eyelashes doesn't feel heavy either. They are super pretty and natural, just how I want them to be. Am I planning to get them done again in the future? I'm not sure. I'll have to let you guys know in the future! They should lasts for at least 1 month or even more if you take care of them well.

PRICE: RM128

If you are interested in getting eyelash extensions, do contact Rita!

Review - Hada Labo cleansing oil

Hello!
I want to mention that my blog is going through some changes now to be improve. Please bear with it. Today's post is a review of the Hada Labo cleansing oil.

I purchased this cleansing oil with the intention of starting the ' double cleansing' method as my skin care routine. I would use this cleansing oil first to remove all of my makeup and then use the Innisfree Jeju volcanic pore cleansing foam to do the second time of cleansing.

This is my first time of trying a cleansing oil and I'd say that it works really well! It does a great job of removing all of my makeup. From my foundation, eyebrow pencil , mascara and the lip product that I'm using that day. I like how light the consistency of the oil is. I was expecting it to be heavier. It spreads easily on my skin and smoothly. When I use it to remove my eyeshadow or mascara I don't have to rub on it too hard. The product would slide off along with the oil.

I was worried that using an oil cleanser would make my face even more oily but that's not the case at all. So far I don't have any breakouts from using this cleanser as welll.

Price: RM50


Is it an item that I would repurchase in the future? Most likely! If you're looking for a cleansing oil you can give this one a go .

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.

Taman Sari - Yogyakarta

Goa Pindul - Yogyakarta

And the amazing Indo food!

Soto Ayam FOR BREAKFAST

Mie ayam FOR DINNER

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!

Well that's all there is of my April Favorites!

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!

March 2016 Favorites!

This month is super super exciting for me since it's my birthday month! I would like to say that I am so blessed to have Robby and all of my friends in my life. This year's birthday has to be one of the best one I've ever had. There will be more personal favorites than beauty related but I hope you'll still enjoy reading this blog post!

Birthday presents

I am so lucky to be able to receive gifts for my birthday. Bella was so sweet she drove all the way to my place so that she can deliver me these flowers exactly on my birthday 12AM in the morning! Flowers is one of the things I absolutely love and I like any kind of flowers, they are just so beautiful. When it comes to Robbys present, his existence itself is a present to me. I've been wanting a necklace that'll lasts even if I shower with it and all that. That's his preent and a card that I can not share since it's pretty private. I absolutely love this necklace. It's a heart shape and there are two smaller hearts in it. How cute...

Missha Perfect Cover bb cream SPF 42 

I was looking for more of a high end bb cream to try on that's cruelty free and stumbled upon this one. I wrote a full review of this bb cream so I don't think I can say much more here but overall this is one of the best bb cream I've tried!

My full review: http://blogpostsbyrf.blogspot.my/2016/03/review-missha-perfect-cover-bb-cream.html

Zootopia

If you haven't watch this movie, you have to! I went and watch this movie all by myself in the cinema and totally enjoyed it. It's super cute and funny. I love how the moral of the story of this movie is to basically not to give up on your dreams regardless of what people say. It is so important for young children and everyone to believe in this. I don't think its available in the cinema anymore but just watch it somehow.

"the city of Zootopia is a mammal metropolis where various animals live and thrive. When Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) becomes the first rabbit to join the police force, she quickly learns how tough it is to enforce the law."

March 2016 dissapointments

I'm afraid that's all I have for this month's favorites. I purchased a lot of items that I thought Id love but turns out they are all disappointing. I thought I'd love the book Me before you and cry over and over again. It is a good book but it's not great? I can't wait for the movie though. I'm sorry if this blog post is short!

Review - Missha Perfect cover BB cream SPF 42

Hello! I've finally have a time off from all of the assignments and I can finally review this bb cream. I've been wanting to talk about it since the day I tried it for the first time. Missha is a cruelty free korean makeup brand. As you can see here in their website

So let's get on the product shall we?

I was looking for a new bb cream to try that is cruelty free. I've been wanting to try a korean bb cream since I know that it's quiet popular and heard so many good things about them. I've purchased the bb cream in the shade #23. I think that it matches me ' Okay ' although it has a grey under tone underneath. You get to choose from 5 different shades although since I bought it through Hermo.my There were only 2 shades available from me to choose from.

I've been using this bb cream as a base of my makeup since the start of this month. Although the bb cream from tarte is still number one this is for sure better than the one from Silky Girl that I've been using. My skin is an oily combination and using this works just fine! I would say that it's a light coverage but it's perfect for daily use. The consistency is not too thick or too thin either. What I love about this bb cream is that it has a pump! Although if you don't fancy a floral smell or a baby powder smell this is not the bb cream for you. The smell is actually pretty strong...

Price: 98RM at the Missha Outlet
          52RM at Hermo.my
