Choice of Daily Make Up

Noticing that I'm rarely post my selfie nowadays maybe because lack of confidence in a way of dressing, make up, skin condition and many more. I put an effort by doing self investment for facial twice/once a month, quality product for skin care and choice of make up that suitable for my skin, of course they cost me a fortune !

Honestly, I'm new to this hobby since they demand sum of monthly allocation budget to do so. Still learning by visiting Sephora and other make up outlet anywhere and anytime when I got chances.Once I get myself involve in this haunted hobby I have to do a lot of thinking, calculation and consideration every time I walk in to the make up store ! Believe me, I cant control myself. I dont want end up buying things that I will not use which I have a few in my collection.

Below are listed my choice of product for daily make up. However, sometimes I did not use all of them at the same time. Of course I'm being lazy too ! :P

Eye Brow:       MAC Eye Brows Crayon Pour Les Sourcils in Lingering. Using Brunette previously now change to Lingering. Both are okay.

A Day Trip to Universal Studio Singapore with RM200 !

A day trip to Universal Studio Singapore, Sentosa Island from Johor Bahru with RM200. Unbelievable? Believe it! Here's the tips and tricks.

1) Wake up early and take your breakfast at any where in JB. Heavy breakfast is recommended. Tapau your lunch. Anything can do, sandwiches is good and easy to eat. Bring a bottle of mineral water too. Dont bring too many, you do not want to carry a heavy bag all day long.

2) Take a bus to USS from JB Sentral. I did not remember the bus number, but it's on second lane. Before take a bus, you have to go through a passport check. Quick and easy. There's few buses that go to USS, so please ask people around or ask the driver. The fare is only RM7 and you can pay fare using RM.

3) Bus will stop at Woodland Checkpoint for passport chop. You have to walk to the immigration officer to do that. Just follow the crowd or follow the signboard. Before you get off from the bus, please take a look at the plate number and memories it!  This to avoid a confusion later on because there will be a lot of buses waiting.

4) It will take around 30-40 minutes drive from Woodland to USS, depending on the traffic.Bus will stop at USS bus stop down there. This time you do not need to remember the bus plate number because it only one way trip :P You can take any bus down that go to JB Sentral later on.

5) There's a few ticket prices different depending on the play. Since this is a day trip so you do not have all day long there. Ticket to USS itself cost at $74 around RM196 per person. Here's the important tips to get ticket at best price:-

* Buy ticket at the costumer service counter instead of buy it directly at individual counter ticket.

So this is all. Good luck on your day trip to USS ! :)

First trip of 2015. 2nd February 2015. KL > JB > USS

Crabtree & Evelyn - Sweet like candy !

I used to have few product from them before but after a while I'm very loyal to Sephora store and obsess with everything in there. Head to toe. Over kan. Wanted to have my own Sephora store one fine day. Ok, so about this Crabtree & Evelyn I received it as a gift from a good friend of mine. And of course I requested for it as my wish for our exchange Xmas gift. Yes we still did that tho it may sound a bit childish to some people. Even though I did not celebrate Xmas, but my friend did. So we had fun chit chatting after almost two years for our last meet up. I have been attacked with a lot of question from them like an auto refill bullets ! Understandable, they have a very big question mark about me on these silent years.

What I get this time is a big and smaller version of Pear and Pink Magnolia Hand Therapy Cream, a body lotion, a body wash, a triple milled soap and a flowery pinkish bag. For some people like me that sensitive to smell this product is perfect. I'm not use to strong smell of perfume or any other smell that I am not familiar with as it will trigger my migraine. Not just that, other people's strong perfume also can give me a headache all day long. I know, pathetic right !

This sweet smell of Crabtree & Evelyn Pear and Pink Magnolia is sweet like candy ! A sweet smell that last for hours and addictive too ! Worth to add on to your personal monthly collection :)

The Sonia Bag

Last month I went to Sunway Pyramid for family dinner and happened to pass by Bonia Boutique there.

It's The Sonia Bag !! After that day I am so obsess with this Sonia Bag especially the yellow colour one. The problem is I didnt how much is the bag and totaly have no idea since I never purchase a Bonia bag before.

Concealer that Conceal Everything !

So here's the lists of concealer in my option:-

1) 24/7 Concealer Pencil from Urban Decay. Urban Decay product is my first choice since I am already using few of their product and they went well with my skin type. But of course I will not narrow down my choice to only one product.All product company will put and advice on their product description like " use our __ with our __ together for a better effect" . It is their marketing strategy for us to buy more from them ~ Carefull there, be smart and wise because sometimes product company advice is usefull depending on what product we are using with different skin type condition. Still, do not afraid to try something new. Life is full of adventure so does make up !

Product Description - $19
Hide dark circles and blemishes with our creamy formula that dries matte and stays put. Because it's a pencil, it's easy to apply with precision. A concealer in pencil form equals precise application, and less mess-no brush, no dipping your finger into a pot, or squeezing a dollop onto a sponge. Dot on tiny blemishes, or shade in large problem areas (like redness around the nose and chin). The creamy formula blends easily, then dries down to a smudge-free matte finish.

When your 24/7 Concealer Pencils start to get dull, use the big barrel of our Grindhouse Double Barrel Sharpener to grind them back to a perfect point.
