Beauty Product Junkie

My close friends and my family members knows that I spend a lot of my money on beauty products.I don't even use all of them at the same time but I just love buying them and trying out new beauty products in the market be it haircare(I use 3 kinds of shampoo,alternating them according to my moods),cosmetics and skincare.Thus I thought why not I share with you readers some of my favorite and inexpensive cosmetic beauty products.:)

FACE
I have been using Rimmel London Renew and Lift powder for years and I don't know if this is the tenth or eleventh compact that I have bought so far.It's just amazingly light and doesn't feel heavy and cakey at all.I buy the color 103 True Ivory.

Recently I thought that I'll try their newest foundation which is Stay Matte because when I tried the tester,it was okay.And I choose the same color as my compact,103.Unfortunately,the foundation is too watery as it spills everytime I unscrew it and it doesn't give me up to 12 hours of natural shine control like it said it would.

I still have to use my pink grapefruit Clean & Clear control film.Once this foundation is finish,I'd stick to Silky Girl BB Cream in Radiant,which is far better.

For concealer,I have been wearing The Body Shop's for years.Usually I wear the stick/pencil kind but nowadays I've switched to that silver tubed thing.I don't remember it's name but I think it's brightening-something.ahaha.The pic is above.

For blusher,it's from The Body Shop as well and I love the fact that the color is pretty natural and peachy with a bit of gold specks in it.Lovely!


EYES


Eyes are the windows of the soul.Thus even on my busiest days and I've no time to put on any eyeliner,I make sure that I atleast curl my lashes.My favorite mascara,along with millions of other women in the world has got to be Maybelline.

I've tried various mascaras from them since I was a teen!But my favorite one has got to be the one in the baby blue tube which I've forgotten the name for it.Nowadays I'm wearing Magnum Volume Express in Black which does not dissapoint!It does not clumps and gives you amazing looking lashes!

For eyeliner,I use Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Black or Brown.This gel eyeliner is AMAZING!It does not smudge and stays put for up to 12 hours or more!It's so smooth and easy to apply and I one gel eyeliner pot can last up to 7-8 months!
I also use a pencil liner from Body Shop in 02 Rich Brown.

I rarely use eyeshadow but if I do,Elianto has a variety of fun colors to choose from!

For my eyebrows,I use Maybelline Browdefinist in 01 Dark brown,which does a wonderful job because I find that eyebrow pencil does not look natural at all.Browdefinist consist of both wax and a brow powder.


LIPS

I don't like the feel of gloss or lipstick on my lips.I only wear them when I really have to or for special occasion.

Thus I tend to use lipstain.Plus gloss sticks on the people that you kiss(ahaha) and glues your hair to your lips--blearghhh.

My favorite lip stain are from The Body Shop and Elianto(Forever Duo Lip,number 1).I would like to try Benetint though but haven't got the chance to go & buy it..yet.hehe.

For lip balm,I use Maybelline in Cranberry Jam and actually this is the colour that I wear everyday.

For gloss,I wear The Body Shop Love Gloss in number 11.


So people,that's all the makeup that I usually wear.:)Hope that it helps!

Hachooo

Been under the weather recently and I think there's a bug going around,infecting almost everyone I know.I just hate being sick.Because there's so many things that can be done.But I guess sometimes its your body's way of telling you to slow down and take care of your health better..:(

I especially detest having the flu because atleast when you have the fever,your body get's hot and you pop some pills and take a nap BUT with the flu,you need lots and lots of tissues,your nose feels really2 bad and red,mucus comes out of your nose every few minutes and it.is.just.horrible!

Thus,I'm loading up on fruits and juices.Bought plump and juicy cherries(not the candied kind) and blackcurrant+cranberry juice.It's been about 1 day & 1/2 since I have the flu and it is the pits!Thankfully my savior(hehe) came to the house and fed me some pills for the flu yesterday and I just ate another pill a few minutes ago which means that I'll be in lalalala-land in a few minutes or hours..Oh,I refuse to take an MC because I'm a fighter!ahaha..:P

Didn't go to the gym after work today because my body temperature was high a few hours ago.Plus my stomach still hurts from the 100 sit-ups that I did on Monday(yeah it still hurts!)--I beat my workmate,a dude,at sit-ups & he even did the inverted kind,not a full sit-up..hehe..My 3 other workmates,2 girls & 1 guy goes to the gym with me as well & it's fun cheering each other on to become fit and healthy.Yeay!

Last weekend was packed with activities!

Saturday was crazzy!!!Had Masters seminar in the morning--which taught us about stuffs we already know!And I instead choose to sleep a little,discuss Sep's engagement/wedding preparation(congrats!!!) with him, & ate while the prof was talking in front..hehe----afterwards, went shopping with Syud and splurge on work clothes,manicure stuffs and bought a super duper big make up bag that now has managed to fit EVERY single one of my beauty products--impressive!

Send Syud to the KTM and then helped my mum to buy groceries.We used this 2 huge shopping bag from Nestle, which fits everything in it and is in line with Selangor's no plastic bag day every Saturday which to me is a step in the right direction(I even taught my students back during practicum about why no plastic bag day is a good thing..which shocks them because they had no idea how harmful plastic bags are to the environment--man I can blog about this for hours!).

Then got home,got ready for In and her 2 friends to pick me up to go to Lot 10 for my friend, Ad's performance.It was a great one and even managed to do some window shopping--Matthew Williamson's 'Butterfly' collection for Debenhams looked amazing!Ate at Pak Hailam's Kopitiam(I think that's the name..sorry if I'm wrong!) in Sungei Wang and had super delicious wholemeal paus although their chicken chop was just WRONG!Don't order it when you go there!


Lepak2 at Pelita after the show and it was great catching up with old friends.Especially Elin(who is back in Malaysia for good after pursuing her Masters in Michigan) and Shaema(who got a smokin' hot makeover and now she'll be working with me as well..yeay!!We have the same birthday btw..ahaha).

Sunday woke up and then had brunch with Adela at Pak Hailam(ahaha) in Shah Alam.Had their fried rice which was okay and of course one of their scrumptious Kaya pau.Went to Cheer 2010,met up with Izza and her sisters.Met lots of my ex-students and most of them were guys--surprise2..ahaha.



Went shopping with Adela at Empire--I just love it there & they still have free parking inside!!woohoo---splurge at La Senza and got this cool booklet with lots of vouchers and became their member as well..hehe.

Did threading for the 1st time too!!It wasn't painful at all when the super nice aunty did my eyebrows but I did feel a little pain on my upper-lip though.The aunty,who's Indian,was embarrassed when everyone was watching her from outside of the shop(I guess they were just curious!) but I told her that it was good for her business since I looked very relax on the chair..And I was right because as I paid her,more people queue up & ask her to thread their faces.:)
OMG do I love JAYA GROCER--there's huge puff pastry dough,buttermilk, and many many more ingredients that I can't find in normal supermarkets.Yes,I can cook/bake so many more things now that I know where to buy the right ingredients!Saw various flavor of Poptarts(my breakfast when I was 15 years old) and the BEST THING IS--THEY HAVE BEN & JERRY'S in various flavors!!!warghhhh..My favorite ice cream EVER!!!Lotsa lotsa cool candies like Wonka's,Twizzlers and even Paul Newman's treats.Sigh.I was in a foodie heaven..:))

Saw this video thank on one of the ex-students in my old school FB.So sweet!!Casillas was about to cry when he kissed his girlfriend on NATIONAL tv yoooo and so did she after he did.Translation for what both of them said,in English is at the video link in Youtube..:)

Life oh life...

Due to the fact that I had to submit my thesis abstract this week and the fact that I now have broadband,I have been sleeping for less than 4 hours every night.Juggling work and studies is not an easy feat.I decided to do my masters thesis base on one of my past ideas for my degree thesis,which has something to do with blogging.

Since I already have a lot of information on the topic,I thought why not I do about it for my masters?Besides that was what I answered during my Masters interview anyway.Thus,that is why I managed to complete the abstract mere minutes before I had to go to work,emailed it to one of my seniors/co-workers who was willing to print & send it for me.Thank u!

Work-wise,I will now be working for Amex.Which means more stress and pressure since I have to deal with expatriates and elite customers and they expect high level of service.ayeyayayay.Have to practice speaking in a very formal and refined manner.ahaha

I have been spending far too much money nowadays.Sigh.I can't help it!There's so many pretty things to buy..:P.Bought a few tops and pants and shoes.hehe.Lots of beauty products cos' I love trying new products in the market.And this gorgeous necklace from Old Blossom Box Store that I just can't stop wearing(bought a top there too).


Now I just need that white dress from Zara and I promise that I will stop spending money..atleast until my salary comes out.hehe.My cousin who works at one of the Zara outlets(they pay you very very well!) is trying to secure the dress for me because when I went to Lot 10 tonight for my friend Ad's performance,the only size available was L & there was only 1 piece & there wasn't any left.Hopefully there'll be one in S or M tomorrow at the other outlets.It's just so beautiful and breathtaking & I did tried on the L size one & it drooped.:(

Been so busy that I have not even finish reading Twenties Girl or continue watching episodes from Sex & The City(got all 6 seasons from Ms.Salliza a few months ago).

Got so much to blog about but I can't remember and I'm so sleepy now.Been going out since 9 am until now!huhu...Masters seminar,shopping spree with Syud,helped my mum buy groceries & then went to Lot 10 with In and 2 of Iki's friends and then lepak2 & now I'm back home.

Tomorrow morning will be going out with Adela & then maybe if I can make it,to support the man that I love while he kick some balls..on the field.ahahah.:P..Nite peeps!

The Vampire Diaries-finale


I didn't know what made me wanted to download the series in the first place.But as I continued to watch episodes after episodes,I got more hooked,wanting to know the mystery behind the characters.

22 episodes altogether in the first season and I have to say that for a new series that has to compete with a more establish vampire series like True Blood,The Vampire Diaries was not bad at all.

The Salvatore brothers,Stefan& Damon are smokin hot,especially Damon.haha.I just adore the fact that Stefan is madly in love with Elena.Super sweet!I like Elena's character too although if you noticed that throughout the whole season,she only wore dark colors,nothing cheery or bright except for that pageant thing episode.I love the fact that she was not like any other girls on tv and she was just very level headed.

I have to say that the finale was definitely the cliffhangers of cliffhangers.ahaha.Can you believe it that Katherine came back?man!Wonder what will happen next.And what exactly is Tyler?His father ears bled during the whole making the vampires deaf ritual.I'm guessing that Tyler's a werewolf?And I can't believe that Anna's dead!And Damon will think that Elena was the one who kissed him.Damn.So many questions and I guess we'll have to wait for season 2 to know what will happen...
