June 2016 lip products favorites featuring my friends!

Hello!
June was a pretty hectic month for me due to my assignments. I'm having a short semester where the college is cramping all 3 subjects for us to study in 1 and 1/2 month! As you can tell by the title, this months favorite is focusing on lip products. I thought it'll be fun to include my friends lip product favorite of this month as well!

Lets start with my favorites!


I've been loving a slightly darker lips look this month. I absolutely love wearing both of these colours!

Purbasari colour matte lipstick #81 Diamond and Kiss Proof soft Lipstick in no.12

As you can see both of the packaging is pretty beat up since I don't really take care of them and use them often. When using the Kiss proof soft lipstick I would always use a lip balm first so that it is not drying on my lips. Both of them have gives a good colour pay off!

Kiss proof soft lipstick: RM 10 

Purbasari Colour matte lipstick: RP 35.000

Bellas favorite - Obuse Lip tint

I've seen her use this lip tint almost everyday to touch up. She said that it's super easy to use and comfortable. It's a nice subtle orange tint on the lips. This lip tint is super affordable as well! I believe it's only RM 5.

Ikas favorite - Gel tint

Here is Ikas favorite. It's a gel tint by In 2 it. She said that this is pretty much the only lip product that she use all the time. She own the colour GT 01 Peach and GT 03 Raspberry. It's natural and subtle on the lips. After doing some research, you can actually use this gel tint as a blush as well!

RM 10



Most of the lip products that we use is super affordable. No surprise, since we're still college students! Whats your favorite lip product?

Food review - Mammam deliveries!

Hello! Ramadhan Kareem! I'm pretty sure this is the first blog post dedicated to food. 

If you know me personally, you'd know that I'm a foodie.

 If trying new food is a hobby, that's my hobby. 

For my first food review, I'll be talking about Mammam deliveries (http://mammam.com.my/) .  I stumbled upon this food delivery thanks to Pika! I was super lazy today. I wasn't bothered to get ready to go out and have my iftar. I didn't have any groceries at home to cook from and I didn't want to order junk food for iftar. Then I decided to order from http://mammam.com.my/!

Lets start with their service. It's AMAZING. I'm so impressed! I ordered through their website and a few minutes after that I receive a phone call to confirm my order. They emailed me the receipt a few minutes after my order as well.

I ordered Butter chicken and Indian chicken curry. There are no minimum order. All of the meals comes with bottle of water.

I'd say that everything taste great but it is slightly bland according to my taste. Although, I ordered the sweet and sour chicken today and it is amazing! I love it so much. Mammam delivery is a great alternative instead of ordering junk food. I believe everything is freshly made.

I'm totally recommending Mammam deliveries !

My Skin care routine (2016)

Hello!

I've been wanting to do a blog post on my skin care routine for a while now. After a few months of trial and error of skin care, I can finally say that I have a proper skin care routine that I NEED iny life. I started my obsession with skin care thanks to the AB ( Asian Beauty ) community! My skin is far from perfect but without these products it'll be a nightmare...


Skin type: Oily-combination
Trouble areas: Blackheads and hormonal acne

I focus more on a night time skin care routine instead of a morning one. I'd usually sleep really late at night and wake up mid noon so I don't really have time to pamper myself in the morning. The only thing that I do in the morning is to wash it using the Clinique Liquid facial soap oily skin formula.
I do my full skin care routine at night, I'll talk about it step by step !

1. On the days that I wear my makeup I'll ' double cleanse ' my face. First I'll use the Hadalabo Gokujun cleansing oil to remove most of my makeup. Then I'll cleanse my face again using the Clinique Liquid facial soap to really clean my face.
2. After double cleansing my face there isn't any makeup left for me to clean. I'll proceed with moisturizing my lips using Vaseline.
3. Then I'd use the Clinique clarifying lotion to exfoliate my face.
4. The end of my daily skin care routine is to moisturize my face using the Clinique dramatically different moisturizing gel.
5. If there are any break outs, I'll then use the Peter Thomas therapeutic sulfur masque using a cotton bud and put tiny bit of it on the pimples. 

On the days where I didn't wear any makeup at all, I like to pamper myself with a face mask. I'll usually grab any sheet masks that I have around or use the Innisfree super volcanic clay mask. Ever since I started using Clinique I can't use other cleanser and moisturizer. Other brand gave me a break out.

That's basically it for my skin care for the past few months. I love pampering myself with these product at the end of the day.

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!
