August 2016 favorites!

Hello!
I was not able to post any blog post while I was in Indonesia throughout August for my semester break since I wanted to spend the whole time I was there with my family. My apologies!

Everytime that I go back to Indonesia I'd explore and purchase more of Indonesian makeup brand. I've been loving Wardah hence why this month's favorite is full of Wardah products and a little bit of Dior. Lets get on with the favorites then!


1. Wardah Makeup Remover with Jojoba oil

By now I'm pretty sure my skin is super sensitive to alcohol, this Wardah makeup remover is super gentle on my skin and didn't break me out since it does not contain any alcohol. It says that it contains Jojoba oil that's supposed to help with skin hydration. It removes my makeup even the eye makeup quiet easily. It is super affordable as well it's around RM10.

2. Wardah Intense matte lipstick in Mauve Mellow

While I was in Indonesia, I found out that Wardah came out with new matte lipstick so I had to try them out! I bought the Intense matte lipstick in the colour Mauve Mellow and Choco Town. I've been wearing Mauve Mellow on my lips almost everyday since I got it. I feel like its the perfect everyday nude.

The consistency of the lipstick itself is buttery and easy to apply. It is long lasting as well. The only down side is that it's not super matte? It's still a bit glossy in my opinion.

Price: RM15

3. Wardah Eyexpert optimim hi-black liner

I've been looking for a good affordable eyeliner for quiet sometime now and I've heard good reviews about this eyeliner. Indonesia is as humid as Malaysia and this eyeliner stayed on throughout the day. I'd wear it for around 5 hours and it stayed put. It is super easy to apply. I've been getting  a lot of compliments on my eyeliner because of this product! Mind you, I'm not good at all when it comes to drawing my eyeliner.

Price: RM20

4. Inez colour contour blush in Amber Peach

Oh my this blush is super duper pigmented and that's why I love it! You don't need a lot of product at all for the blush to show on your skin. I've been using this blush as a blush and a bronzer as well since the colour is workable as a blush for me.

Price: RM14

5. Dior lip glow in Pink

Well, this is probably the most expensive lip balm I have. The packaging is super pretty and I'm a sucker for packaging. Other than the packaging I love how this lip balm leaves a pink tint on my lips even after the sheen rubs off. This is Ranya's birthday gift for me this year so thanks sissy!

Sephora US price: RM132

6. Makeup case/Organiser

I never thought that I'd need a makeup case like this ever but while I was in Indonesia I couldn't fit all of my makeup into my usual Victoria Secret makeup bag that I always use and decided to purchase a makeup case. I've seen an acrylic from Sephora but it is slightly too small for the price. I bought mine in one of the mall in Yogyakarta ( I forgot the name hahaha ).

I can't believe even this is actually too small for all of my makeup collection but it is perfect for my everyday makeup items!

Price: RM103

This months favorite is full of makeup items and I love it! Would you like to see an Indonesian makeup haul or a review of one of the Wardah Products?

July 2016 favorites!

Hello everyone!

Oh my goodness. I almost forgot to write this months favoritoes! I'm writing this blog post now a few hours before my flight to Indonesia. I'll be spending my semester break which is throughout August in Yogyakarta. I'll be writing a lot of interesting blog posts regarding travels and beauty then. Now, lets get on with this month's favorites.

1. Biore UV Aqua Rich watery essence sunscreen SPF 50 + PA +++

This is the first proper sunscreen that I've ever use and I can see the difference now on my skin tone. I used to have really weird discoloration around my forehead and the side of my face and it seems like the skin on my face is all the same colour now thanks to this sunscreen. I love how this sunscreen is super light weight and not sticky at all. It doesn't interfere with my makeup as well. If you've never use a sunscreen, please consider using it.

Price: RM 30+


2. Nyx liquid suede lipstick in Sandstorm

I went to Sephora a few days ago to get a moisturizer and walked out with this lipstick along with my moisturizer! The NYX area in Sephora Sunway Pyramid restocked a lot of product and added more new items so I had to check it out. By checking it out I mean stayed there only in the NYX area for like 30 minutes...

What it looks like on me

I've been wearing it every day ever since I got it. I don't have any lip item that is super nude like this. It's almost the same as my lip colour. The texture is really buttery and smooth. It doesn't dry up your lips. They have other colours that are vibrant and daring that I was too scared to try but I think you should!

Price: RM 35


3.  Body Shop tea tree oil


This is interesting! I used to use this tea tree oil 2 years ago and stopped. Why did I stop! I've been having more blemishes lately and I had this brand new one that I bought in Qatar sitting around and decided to use it again. It dries up my blemishes instantly and I love the smell. It's so soothing...

Price: QR 20


4. Innisfree tea tree serum

I know I know it is a sample size. I started using this serum ever since my Clinique dramatically different moisturizing gel ran out. I've been into scents this month I guess? This serum is pretty gentle on my skin and it's not breaking me out. I'm considering of purchasing the full size to switch out with my Clinique moisturizer. I think you should give this a try if you have an oily combination skin and use it as a moisturizer .

Price: ?



Well that's pretty much it for my beauty monthly favorites. Although I've been loving more korean dramas lately! You should definitely watch Doctors and Uncontrollably fond. I love good dramas with good OST!

Review - Biore UV Aqua rich watery essence SPF 50 + PA ++++

Hello and Eid Mubarak everyone!

I'm writing this blog post the day of Eid. This Eid feels a little bit empty without my family and Robby around. I've notice that you guys seems to love reading a blog post where I review products. So, I'll be posting more product reviews in the future.

As you can tell by the title, I'll be reviewing the Biore UV Aqua rich watery essence SPF 50+ 

PA ++++

Okay. This is my first ever sunscreen that I've purchase to put on my face as a part of my skin care routine. I've done my research and with the help from Asian Beauty I made the decision to purchase this sunscreen. Lets start with the packaging. The packaging is pretty simple, nothing special except the size. I feel like I'm getting quiet a lot of product for the money. 

I have an oily combination skin and was worried that putting on a sunscreen before my makeup will make my face even more oily. The colour of the product is milky white. It has an interesting smell that I can't figure out but it's not overwhelming and pleasant. The product has a light and super smooth consistency. It dries out quickly and it's not sticky at all. 

I've been using this sunscreen for a few days now and I have to say I'm super impressed! It helps my foundation to look better than it usually is. It's really light. I have no problem in taking this sunscreen off at the end of the day. This is definitely a product I will repurchase. 

Price: RM30

If you are looking for a sunscreen, you can give this one a go!

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.
