Chapter 267 - Award~!


I appreciate so much that Dee and Lynn nominated me for this award and I love it so much. It looks like how I relaxed myself after a day of tired working but I don't have my personal sofa in my room so I rest on my bed instead. Hottest blogger? Are you guys sure about this? How can you even tell?

The award comes together with a few questions...

What books are on your favourite shelf?
I'm no longer studying and I only have magazines on my shelf right now. There's Cleo (Malaysia Editions), Female(Malaysia Editions), Shout (UK), old Girlfriend (Australia) and some catalogs from cosway, Watsons and some beauty booklets. I have some comics kept in the cupboard too.

What DVDs are on your favourite shelf?
Horror movies like Shutter(Thailand) and Ju-On(Japanese) Prequel, Part 1 and Part Two, korean movies like She's on Duty.

What are your two favourite cook books?
Honestly I don't have any and I usually get recipe on the net. Unless if I've found any interesting recipe on newspapers or magazine, I collect them and keep them nicely.

Select 1-3 recipes you will cook for your special guest
I'm more on a dessert person, I think I will prepare cakes, and other cup desserts. Salad is pretty easy to make, toss around with any fresh vegetable, add some olive oil and a little of salt and black pepper would do. It's very simple, anyone can do that.

What we will be be drinking that's available?
Fresh juice, chocolate, plain water with lemon, Frangelico with milk (my favourite!) and green tea (calm my senses while working)

Welcome to the nominees on my virtual slumber party-like. Would you like to come?

Oh yeah, just a reminder. I'm not able to do update everyday anymore. I know I have slowed down on my blog and Youtube updates. Recently started working, I don't have much time as before. I do get tired after a long day of working. I'm trying to cope and my skin isn't coping with me. Urgh~ for those who are studying, enjoy your life there although it could filled with stressful assignment deadlines and exams, for those who are working, I totally understand how it feels like but it isn't too bad either. Whichever you are, just stay positive although you know that it would be a hard day ahead of you. Always use the word 'smart' from what you think and what you do. It will help you to save a lot of time and energy.

Stay Beautiful Always,

Chapter 265 - Quick Review


The Face Shop Real Secret Perfect Contour Kit is a 4-in-1 enhancer kit where it comes with highlighter, pore concealer, eyeshadow base and plumping lip base. The concept adapted in here is a professional's secret to perfect, celebrity look and a total solution to different of base makeup.

Highlighter - Complexion enhancer
Pore Concealer - Texture smoothing balm
Eyeshadow Base - Preventing creasing, enhances the color intensity and staying power of eyeshadow
Plumping Lip Base - Moisturizing lip plumper for fuller and smoother lips.

When I first found out about this product from the web, it should be something like a corrective concealer kit but it turned out to be makeup base for many parts of our face. The size of the kit is not too big, the length and width is no bigger than my palm. It's like a quad eyeshadow palettes. It comes with double ended synthetic brush.


My verdict:
- Highlighter
It's beige cream-based highlighter with very fine shimmers. I only use it to highlight my brow bone and just a little of it is sufficient since it's with  shimmer. It really bring out my brow bone a lot but I don't think it's really suitable for people who are looking for matte finish. It could work as a body glitter too but I reckon that the amount isn't sufficient.

- Pore Concealer
It's green cream-based pore concealer. When I saw that it's name, I thought that it should at least conceal my enlarged pores but it didn't. It just finish off matte without much concealing pores. However, it does helps to control oil a little. I think that would depends on the level of oiliness of your face. I would consider mine as extreme because if I have to blot my face, I have to blot around 2-3 hours once.

- Eyeshadow Base
Of course, a skin-tone cream-based eyeshadow base. For this one, I had a hard time believing that it work for the first few times when I tried it. It's because that I applied thin layer and it creases. With this eyeshadow base I actually have to apply quite an amount as though I'm applying eye cream on my eyelid and it turn out my eyelid is very fair compared to my face but the best part is it never crease after doing so. There's pros and cons with it. My eyeshadow never crease till 8 hours. I have never try wearing longer than 8 hours, so I don't know how much longer it last.

- Lip plumping base
Pink lip gloss-like texture but finishes transparent on lips. When I first use it, I do feel a very light tingling sensation but after a few times, I'm not sure my lips are immune to it or something else but it felt like putting on a layer of transparent lip gloss. There's not much of plumping effect or I shall say I don't see anything at all. However, it's very moisturizing and makes the next lip application smoother.

Overall, it's just an okay kit for me. I seldom use the highlighter and lip plumping base, most of the time I'm using pore concealer for oil control and eyeshadow base for creasing reasons. Maybe it's just me, try to look out for more reviews alright? If I have not mistaken, it's priced at RM39.90.

My rating: 3.8/5

p/s: Please bare with me on the lack of updates. I've started working and I'm not as free as before but I'll still try to fit my time to blog, okay? I'll never forget my readers and friends. Thank you so much for your patience and loyalty.

Stay Beautiful Always,
