[Rant & Rave] The Misadventures of AWKWARD black girl

2012-01-16T00:16:00.002+08:00

Okay, first off, the title got grammatical error. It's supposed to be 'an' awkward black girl! Oh well, being an editor made me this way. XD If you haven't known already, I am pretty much a Youtube junkie. The only possible next step for me is to make my own video. Heck, I would have probably done so if I have a decent video cam and video editing skill. Alas, it was not meant to be so here I am

Hi and Assalamualaikum! :) I think that meme would sum up how I pretty much feel like while writing update for this blog. Why, my last post was on November last year and now it is already January 2012! Didn't even wish you guys a Happy New Year! Oh heck, it's never too late huh? Happy New Year folks! *blows dust away from blog dashboard* No, I haven't abandoned the beauty products bandwagon yet

Hi and peace be upon you, Guess what I'm doing right now? Okay, I'll make it simple for you guys. I'm currently laying down on my bed, typing away on my own work laptop, while listening to Selena Gomez's 'Love you like a love song'. Not proud admitting that and I kinda hate myself for constantly clicking on that 'play' button on Youtube but I can't freaking help it! XD *Darn you catchy beat!*

Hi and peace be upon you, This post is very long overdue. But still, what has to be done, needs to be done. :) I'm sorry Sakae Sushi! Hee Anyway, earlier last month, on the 8th of October 2011, I was invited to Shills Meet Beauty Bloggers event at Berjaya Times Square. More on that later though because there will be another separate post about it. The event was a success and before we all went

Hi and peace be upon you readers, So here's another batch of photos that I managed to snap! XD I purposefully snapped everything beforehand because I want to review this bag anyway, hehe. The first review that I read is from Isabel (here) and it hugely influenced me to get one for myself. (Well, I did, in fact, really need a bag organizer anyway, so what the heck~XD) The Bag I bought this bag

Hi and peace be upon you, Shucks, even writing on my blog now feels kinda nostalgic. From a once-a-week affair, it had grown to be a once-a-forthnight affair, and the time gap widening in the future is so not out of the question. =\ Anyway, before my camera died on me (I don't have the charger, you see), I managed to snap a few pictures of some stuff to review. Without further ado, let's get

2011-09-10T09:49:00.001+08:00

Hi and peace be upon you, I guess here's another boring entry without pictures because my sister (the one that lives in Singapore) mixed up my camera cable with hers and ended up grabbing both. :( It's still another month till she's back though so maybe I would just have to resort using my other sister's camera for a while. Sucks though. I don't like using other people's stuff when I have my own

Future Still Pretty Unknown

2011-09-05T00:34:00.000+08:00

Hi and peace be upon you, Just chatted with my friend from university. She thought I became an engineer. Yeah, right. That was what I was supposed to be anyway. I mean, everybody kind of knew that I like writing random stuff and was eager in language classes but nobody quite expect me to be anything but an engineer (or honestly, anything related to engineering). The truth is, I was pretty sure

I'm still trying my best to cope with work and whatsnot so hoping to be more productive in the future (lol, not that anyone cares whether I'm being productive or not XD) Last week, I got my first pay! And guess what my first haul is? Makeup? ....noooo (I'm starting to think that I have waay

Hi and peace be upon you, Sorry for being out of the loop (again) but I've got a very valid reason this time! For those who cared, I am actually an editor for an online deal site (milkadeal) and the past week has been pretty labourious. Who knew being an editor is THAT busy? But hey, it's what I wanted to do so I guess I am in no position to complain what.so.ever. XD Anyway, another product

Day 1 On The Job

2011-08-22T22:49:00.001+08:00

Hi and peace be upon you, Today was my first day at work. I mean, this job, not the one in the past (where I stubbornly refused to change shoes and resigned in the end..XD). Anyway, working life isn't as...enjoyable as I think it would be. I did not actually brood all day long, staring at the ceiling. In fact, it was quite the other way around. My predecessor (the one I am going to replace) was

Hi and peace be upon you, Good morning (and evening, respectively, wherever you're at)! It's a saturday and I am up bright and early! Wonder what is up? The thing is, I am getting a bit too disgustingly chubby on the cheeks (okay, who am I kidding. It's not just the cheeks. >_<) so I'm going to attempt an exercise after this. XD It looks like a nice weather to run around in the yard. =) However

Hi and peace be upon you, Just a quick update on my job status! I am officially employed! =) Actually, I received the offer last tuesday but was too overwhelmed to type anything about it in my blog. It's not a job that my parents sent me to university for 4 years though but I'm happy because it's a job that I'm pretty sure I'm going to enjoy tremendously. ^__^ Starting next week, I'll be an

Hi and peace be upon you, This is another post that has been long overdue. I've been meaning to post this up a couple of weeks ago though but couldn't quite muster up enough motivation to type. Haha. I'm a lazy bum like that. I don't think I have ever mention this in my blog, but I am actually the 6th out of 7 siblings in my family. Yeah, that's a lot. But it's nothing uncommon here. XD Anyway,

Hi and peace be upon you readers! Hey, its the month of Ramadhan (Islamic month) right now so I hope everybody is doing fine. You might think my procrastination from my blog is due to fasting but actually, it is far from that.

Hi and peace be upon you, The lovely Maria from her very informative beauty, fashion and everything in between blog (Venus In Virgo), is hosting a sponsored giveaway on something that we all would deem as 'essential', which is a makeup bag!

Hi and peace be upon you, I went for my first job interview today! Don't know how I did but I am just glad I didn't go all tongue-tied and embarass myself. Haha. In order to make a good first impression, I practised a natural makeup look. Well, I don't want to appear too made up nor do I want to appear like I just rolled out of bed. The look that I was aiming for was the popular minimal makeup

Hi and peace be upon you! Do you have an empty moisturizer bottle? Or a tube of mascara that has long due its expiration date? Don’t know what to do with them and are planning to toss them into the dustbin? STOP! Hold it right there. Throwing out recyclable containers are probably the stupidest thing you’ll ever do!(aside for that one time where you tripped on your own shoe lace and fell flat on

The fastest way to hit pan!

2011-07-16T01:12:00.001+08:00

Hi and peace be upon you, The term ‘hit pan’ is probably a term that is most associated to the feeling of ‘bittersweet’. To most beauty junkies, hitting pan on a product is like a massive achievement, where you just feel like shoving said product in the air and do the hula-hoop in public. That is probably an understatement in most cases. However, hitting pan on a product is easier said than

Hi and peace be upon you, First and foremost, a shout out to Yuberactive for sending me this! Have you ever heard of Birch Box before? They're packages full of beauty products that a company send to your doorstep every month when you subscribed to them. However, we don't have that kind of service here in Malaysia (that I am aware of anyway) but Yuberactive is as close to that in principle, as

Eventhough it is the last item that I have chosen to review out of all three, it doesn't mean that I like it less. :) Its just a bit hard for me to describe something like smell..XD The Product Living up to its name, Happy Game smells like a field of fresh flowers and fruit trees.

Hi and peace be upon you folks! Years ago, if someone asked me 'which country am I most jealous of (like,their citizens), and why?', I would have answered 'South Korea' right off the bat because then, I have this unhealthy obsession with korean idols and singers. If you were to ask me the same question now, the answer would still be the same country, but just with slightly different reason. Oh

Hi and peace be upon you, I honestly feel like I'm having some sort of a writer's block right now. I don't feel like typing and making up sentences gave me a headache. This is bad. =_= Anyway, not letting my sheer laziness hinder me, I'll just post about the stuff I've been buying this past two months (february-march). Based from my posts, you might have figured out that I'm quite the 'home-y'

Hi and peace be upon you all my readers, Recently, the whole world's population were shocked by the earthquake + tsunami tragedy that struck Japan. There were a whole lot of buzz going on everywhere on the internet and I must say, the first moment the news broke to me, it left me puzzled. It can't be Japan. I mean, this is Japan we're talking about! A country I've been wanting to go all my life.

[Swatches] Wet n Wild Coloricon Trio Eyeshadow (Walking on eggshells, Don't Steal My Thunder, Knock On Wood)

2011-03-10T23:00:00.003+08:00

Hi and Salam, Again, this is another short post. =) Somebody requested for Wet n Wild swatches so here you go! I haven't played with them out in the open yet so I can't give my two cents on its lasting power on my lids. But so far, so good. They are exceptionally sparkly though. Those who doesn't like shimmers/sparkles/bling on their eyes, you might not like Wet n Wild eyeshadows. I'm okay with

Hi and salam, Did you girls remember me mentioning that I was searching for the perfect dark circles concealer for a while now? Well, how weird. It was in my possesion all.this.time.

Now, don't ask me how I come to discover it back. =P (lol, studying always makes me bored and that resort me to play with

Hi and peace be upon you, I know I haven't been reviewing much lately. I wanted to but for some reason, I just don't have the motivation to do so right now. =( Anyway, I have finally officially used NYC blushable creme stick in Berry New Yorker! And let me tell you, now I feel like a trendy New Yorker..not. =P But it is as good as people say it is! Will definitely review soon! =) I guess it's

2011-03-03T01:39:00.003+08:00

Hi and Assalamualaikum, Out of all the makeup products available out there, the one that intrigues me the most has got to be concealers. I don't know what went wrong with my life these past couple of years but I managed to get myself some awesome pair of dark circles with eye bags to go along with it. XD Anyway, I haven't met that HG concealer for me just yet and since I'm still a student, the

February 2011 Favorites!

2011-03-01T20:15:00.000+08:00

Hi, February has got to be the month of stress, depression and sheer laziness. Assignments just seem to pile more and more in front of my very eyes. =0 I found myself running out the door more often than not and makeup time had been scarce. It was the month of mid-semester exams after all so there really was nothing I could do about it. =( This is last month's favorites! (I do have a lot of

[Review] Wet n Wild Ultimate Sheer Tinted Moisturizer (Sun Kissed)

2011-02-22T21:25:00.002+08:00

Hi, Today's review is going to be about tinted moisturizer. What is a tinted moisturizer? (I guess there are bound to be some readers that don't know what is a tinted moisturizer and what is it for so I'll help you a bit there ^_^) Tinted moisturizer is basically a colored moisturizer (like foundation) but way more lightweight and sheer. The good thing about this stuff is that, it evens out

Hi, First and foremost, I'd like to say a whole lot of thanks to my new followers! It feels like somebody is secretly publicizing my blog somewhere because all of a sudden, from 49 followers, I am up to 55 now! It doesn't look like much to you but my eyes went like this '0__0!' when I saw the number this morning. I mean, it is not everyday I get 6 new followers overnight. Thank you so very much!

Hi, Maybe I've never mentioned this, but I really enjoy cooking! My mom taught me how to cook malay dishes and they're pretty easy to follow and do. I am very interested in learning how to make Korean and Japanese dishes. Korean's, primarily because of the spicy and savoury goodness and Japanese, for its quaint food and healthy ingredients.

[Review] Wet n Wild Megaprotein Mascara (Very Black)

2011-02-17T00:05:00.002+08:00

Hi Hi, You girls would probably know that I don't really like reviewing mascara because I am just crap at using it and such. But, bear with me, all right? XD Last month (probably), I grabbed a few stuff from Walgreens online while they were doing a 50% off promotion for Wet n Wild. Everything was either less than RM10 (after considering all the service charge and etc), so it was a real good

2011-02-12T19:32:00.001+08:00

Hi and Salam, First and foremost, I'll say that I'm no makeup artist nor am I actually that good in doing makeup. XD I have no intention in pursuing any career in makeup (professionally or even free-lancing) because I just don't have that creativity. Most of my friends thought that I'm good at makeup when the truth is, it took me a ridiculous amount of time to do makeup. And because of that, I

Wet n Wild 50% off Haul!

2011-02-12T15:58:00.002+08:00

Hi and Salam, YAAAYYY!!~~~XD My Wet n Wild haul had arrived!! (dances around with a big grin plastered on her face) Please excuse my hyperness. XD Wet n Wild stuff is a pretty huge deal to me as they are near impossible to get in Malaysia! Last month I joined a spree for Walgreens when Wet n Wild was having a 50% off promotion! Too bad they didn't have the 6 pan coloricon ones. I'd like to get

January Favourites!

2011-02-09T18:06:00.001+08:00

Hi and Salam, There are some products that I have been constantly using last January and seems like they are becoming quite the staple even in early february. Here is my January love! ^__^ 1) ELF Studio High Definition Powder This powder really is a life saver when it comes to curbing oily face! The weather has been crazy last month. There are days when you need to wear really thick clothing to

Body Odour...who got it? Get smelly, no more~!

2011-01-25T21:01:00.003+08:00

Hi and Salam, Its been a while since I post about non-makeup things, I believe. The issue today is going to be about something that will concern a lot of people, whether or not, they're the one who have it, or the people around them. First, you have to know, what is exactly body odour and how does this phenomena occurs? Body odour is caused from the bacteria growing/accumulated on the skin. A

2011-01-23T15:46:00.003+08:00

Hi and Salam, Some people can't live without mascara. As for me, I hardly own that many (or have tried them, in general) because I just don't feel comfortable wearing them. As far as I can remember, only last year alone, I've only tried 3 different mascaras. Two are mine and another one was my sister's. I also have a statement that I strongly believe in: 'Wet mascara is like wine.' The older

Hi and Salam, Are you tired of ELF reviews? XD I'm sorry. That's all I have for now (from my latest haul, that is). Maybe I'll come up with other brand's review next week (the arrival of the much awaited Cherry Culture, AllCosmeticsWholesale, Coastal Scents and NYX!) In a time span of a year, from zero elf cosmetics, to an almost bursting at its seam makeup bag full of elf goodies! How did I

2011-01-18T21:24:00.003+08:00

Hi and Salam, I've already reviewed ELF Studio blush before in Peachy Keen. Read here.You'll see in that past review that I wanted to get the other shades as well because Peachy Keen just didn't do it for me..XD When ELF Studio was doing sales for Christmas and New Years Eve (and whatever silly reason it is for them to somehow offer promotions! Haha) I went ahead and got them. Here's the other

Hi and Salam, I think its about time I review this latest concealer from ELF Studio line. This came along with my 50% off mineral and studio line haul back in December. But I've only gotten to use it for a few days now and am ready to give my humble view on whether I like the product or not. So, lets cut the chase and go straight to the review =) The Product Info from site Savvy beauty

2011-01-13T01:48:00.001+08:00

Hi and Salam, Today's review is about a product that I unexpectedly fallen in love with. The dome-like shape, baked powder blush reminds me of a certain product from Hard Candy (which we can't find here in Malaysia). I first stumbled upon this blush a few months ago (they're out in the market for ages) and swatched it heavily on my hand. Our first impression of each other weren't really good, I

Hi and Salam, I got my December order of ELF today~ Yay! \(=^_^=)/ I've been playing around with some items (especially the lipsticks all day) so without further ado, let me review the lipsticks from ELF essential line. For those that love lip sticks, I'm sure there were one time where you got curious about the ELF essential lipsticks but hesitated to buy them because they are just too darn

Hello and Salam, You know, the one bad and extremely hard thing about reading and writing a beauty blog is having to lust over a product that is a million miles away from you. Why can't all countries have one (or more..well more is definitely better that less =P) venue or place where they ship all kinds of beauty products without us having to resort over to online shopping and such. Don't get me

Hi, salam and welcome! As a flourishing beauty-junkie extraordinaire, I'm sure most of us have had enough beauty affairs with a lot of brands out there. There are some that just make me cringe when I read the name and label, and some that always prick my interest with their products and make me come back for more. My first brand rave is: *drum rolls* Mentholatum! The logo reminds me a bit of

Hi and Salam, Well, well, it's almost the end of 2010 and a whole year of makeup collecting. I started to get into makeup December last year and collecting around the start of 2010. There are a lot of misses and a couple of hits but most of the stuff that I get is probably just average. I don't love em, but I don't hate em either. So that's that. =) I learnt a lot during the year. Especially

I just thought it would be fun to see other people's vanity table. =) Oh yeah, I'm also showing you how I organized my makeup. One of my favorite hobbies nowadays is to stalk Youtube and watch how other people organized their makeup collection. It is such a fun

Salam and hello there, =) This time is going to be on an Elianto product. The first ever makeup brand that hooked me is Elianto. They're very affordable, works well and comes in relatively cute packaging. The one selling point that intrigues me to this brand is probably their 'natural ingredients' makeup theme. Product: Info from site: Strangely...there is no description available on the
