It's A Mixed Space.

He says "If you gonna let yourself down, think of the others first"
That guy walks on the street, he thought what's wrong with the man
He is trying to hook on someone
But no one gonna do that with him because he is too bad to look...
And I thought "What the hell!?"
People, don't let the others get you fallen
I am an example if you wanna ask
And I am not going to show any mercy
I am just being myself (I don't care, say what you want, anything).
I am original.

The young lady, she's dressed so sexy
But how could she pretend like sexy?esaresezzw
Does she knows what's inside of her? (Ahahaha)
It is free that you can save to get a new bag
Dream and do what you dream of
Don't be afraid if you are going to be a star
Tell your mum you are not her pussycat doll... (Be original, be original)

I listen to the radio
I am not going say anything
I am keeping myself in peace (perhaps something more...)
You will know who I am
You will see what you can't copy
Save the tan sprays for a brighter day...

Today I am going to walk out with a brighter smile
A boy's dream can't be removed easily
I don't follow fashion, I don't care if you care.
I am just original
Yeah, I am just original (woo...)

Can You Feel Me?

2012-03-31T20:41:00.001+08:00

Can you feel me?
Can you feel me?
Can you feel me?
Can you feel me?
Hey, why do you have to do that?
Hey, what makes you wanna do that?
Can't you just give me a moment?
A moment to confess
About everything we have did
It is so strong.

I, I feel like what you don't
And I, I just can't regret
Everything is so strong
Even your friends said it out
Wouldn't you pity me?
Like I did it.
Can you feel me?
Can you feel me?
Feel inside of me
Just fill me.

Love, what is that?
I can't question, nor do I can answer
The facts that are between us, so true, so oh
I just want you to kiss me again
Sometimes I miss the way you fingers linger on mine
What if I get to see you now?
Will you have to go?
I beg for your smile
For the last time (can you feel me?)
For the last time (can you feel me?)
For the last time (can you feel me?)
For the last time (can you feel me?)

The Memories Never Lie

The Memories Never Lie

I said I am not good for you
And you thought that was a joke
We spent hours together
And what do I really want? I ask myself
I haven't seen you in days
It's like worst than a nightmare
I hope time doesn't make you forgetful
You are like my velvet sky.
I covered my body with the black sweater my mum bought for me
But this cold is from the inside and it is freezing me hell.
I never thought that I will be spending time with you in the bed again
I also never wanted anymore but your lips
I understand that you won't be missing me for a second again
But darling, the memories never lie.

The waitress hands in the coffee
It's not latte and I think that something could be better
I look at the wall, seeing into the pictures
Suddenly, found your traces. (Wooooo)
"Hey why do you have to leave me twice?"
I know that I will never ask that
But then after the coffee
You are opposite of me
You're saying "Hi". (Never Lie)
Why do my life can't be without your shadows?
Why, hey, tell me why (The memories never lie)
I don't want to be your victim so stop your banshee haunt

The secrets have been revealed and you know I am right
At least that's what I am thinking
I let you go cause I am sick of your dramas
"Hey gal, you're not my type." (The memories never lie, the memories never lie, gal you're not my type, the memories never lie.)

Artistry Loose Powder in Fair

2012-03-27T16:04:00.000+08:00

This time I gonna show everything about the product that I review- Artistry Loose Powder in Fair. The shade is a little bit pinkish but not too visible. It leaves skin satiny feeling, so smooth to touch and yet affordable (about RM90) and long lasting. A tube can last at least half year if used daily because the powder is super fine and a little goes a long way. You may choose other shades but I am not sure about that because this is not my belonging. It belongs to my mum and I used it once and like it very much. If I am not mistaken, Artistry is an American Brand which exists for many years. The products are very fine and affordable (between drugstore and branded prices).

Nivea Extra Whitening Deodorant Roll-On

2012-03-26T17:44:00.001+08:00

The Star: Nivea Extra Whitening Deodorant Roll-On.

Effects: 48 Hours Cell Repair for Extra Fair And Smooth Skin.

Seriously, this is just like the other usual deodorant care products you can easily find at almost every shop. It doesn't deliver 48 hours long lasting effects, not even 12 hours I bet. Maybe about 6-8 hours maximum? I chose this that time because I realize that my underarms are 'yellowish', I am not sure if you got my meaning. It's like uneven skin tone. However, this helps to reduce the 'content' of my sweats. I am not sure if it controls the smelly smell from the underarms. It doesn't whiten my skin even after months of using. Overall, this is quite affordable, often comes in twin packaging about RM10 or slightly more. I did hope this will work like the body milk which is super effective but... hmmm........ it smells good anyway and easy to be applied.

Nothing, Just A Trick

2012-03-22T12:17:00.000+08:00

You treated me so kind, like no one else

You made me feel alright, but that’s just beginning

And then you blew, oh… everything into sand

I wished I could understand, what tricks you were playing

So I wouldn’t be fooled.

Now I wake up in the morning, thinking you

But you are nothing, just a trick

Just like nothing, just like nothing

But you are nothing, just a trick

Just like nothing, just like nothing

Then I hated romance, everything seemed suck to me

I wonder if I am well.

I wonder if it’s true while I was praying, regretting, forgetting

Everything that just happened, they seem to last forever

I see the holes in my heart, so slowly get back to what it was

Spending time with no one else, see the shadows of you.

You touched me so slowly, and now I bet that was wrong

If you’re not made for me, then you’re nothing, just a trick.

Walking on the street, thought of you, how we did that in the bar

I used to think that, I should go, just to see if I see you

I see illusions of me and you

Then now I know what’s true.

Again I am treated like a fool, but you’re nothing, just a trick

Just like nothing, just like nothing

Nothing, just a trick

Just like nothing, just like nothing

Nothing, just a trick.

During the military time I am pleased, now I stand

Yes I do, I forgot you

Yerr… I threw the memories and no more of us

Deleted everything like there’s no beginning.

Talking foolishness of you with my friends

Said that you are nothing, just a trick

Just like nothing, just like nothing

Nothing, just a trick

Just like nothing, just like nothing

Nothing, just a trick.

I were played by the stories

But I no more hate romance, I am stronger than you thought

I am stronger than you thought

Yerr… I am stronger than you thought

I am stronger than you thought

Yerr… I am stronger than you thought

I am stronger than you thought

I am stronger than you thought.

This song is based on my experiences. May seem to be simple but you gonna learn what's behind these lyrics...

Le Pollidor Cafe

2012-03-13T19:58:00.001+08:00

What I see from here.

Nice feeling.

Nice design and decoration right? These pictures worth over thousands...

Somehow this reminds me a lot of Starbucks.

The desserts and drinks. They do have nice desserts, trust me!

Hmm... I am relaxing in basic outfit and no make up, haha!

Location: Bandar Puteri. Opposite of Giant. Nearby EPI, Bandar Puteri. Below is the VIP STEAMBOAT.
Overall: They have really nice desserts and drinks. The decoration and design are quite similar to Starbucks. These stuffs wouldn't be cheap, anyway. The location can be different to find. It's not easy to notice this cafe. This cafe is newly opened, about 2 months time only.
Question...?: I wonder what does the cafe name means.

The Body Shop Lip Balm? Hmm....

2012-03-13T01:23:00.002+08:00

This is how it looks like. It comes in several flavours and I chose this wisely when I was shopping in the shop because I have tried the other flavours and I thought having new experiences would be great. It has nice floral smell and goes off quickly after it is applied on the lips. Since it is quite not convenient to be used in the day, I only pick this at nights after usual skin care. It moisturizes my lips fairly good enough if slightly more is applied. However, it doesn't leave me unbelievable smooth lips after days of using. Unfortunately, it will be used up very fast and I bet this because I can see it clearly in the mini tube. The texture is quite creamy but non sticky ^^. May be a little bit creamy feeling on the lips and it looks exactly like clear lip gloss! It is priced at RM28.00, a US nature brand. Neither expensive nor cheap. I might just use this tube to put something else after it is used. Overall, it is good for normal lips. You may pick the stick type which comes in the same formula and flavours if you are pleased.

Breaking A Cigarette

2012-03-13T01:15:00.002+08:00

We met the truth after Valentine’s and I dumped you

You blamed me like shit so much fun, and I couldn’t enjoy it.

I was lonely I sad

I got myself done, and it felt like the end,

Just like breaking a cigarette.

You just chose it not me no more

Ohh…

After these months I did not know you, like what I thought

I felt like broken, so much

Break up like breaking a cigarette.

I wish that’s not so true, but Gosh that is the truth.

One day, you called me up to ask something, and that’s all

No more news from you, no words of happiness.

God I don’t wish you, I don’t miss you, yerr… hope you don’t do well.

These commitments never be done, just like your dick.

Ohh… break up like breaking a cigarette.

Never meet you again

No no no, you are living, in the mirror of the past.

Hmmm….

You told me you dumped everything I give into the bin

So do I think of you and look at the bag.

Now everything is done, no more ‘miss you’ from you

I feel so naked, no more happiness.

Someday I hope you will come back

I guess we both are fooled, by the youth and love.

So just break up like breaking a cigarette.

No more smokes, no more lies, no more smiles, no more faking

No more wishing no more planning, no more love no more us

No more smokes, no more lies, no more smiles, no more faking

No more wishing no more planning, no more love no more us.

I wrote this lately and I also did 2 other songs that haven't published online yet. I hope someday I will be singing this song like what I wished for. Being a singer is like living in the right way, well, at least that's to me. Let me know what do you think about the lyrics and by the way, I have wrote everything happened in my life into my songs so you may expect these would be quite dramatic. Copying and pasting memories into words and sing it loudly, bet that would be great for me ^,^.

Heme Skin Care Review

2012-03-12T12:24:00.002+08:00

Heme is a skin care brand from Taiwan. Available at Watson's only. Fair prices, so do the qualities. The products are made for younger skins that need more radiance or hydration or less pore and blemishes problems. I have tried their make up remover which comes in only one type, oil type. Not bad for its price and size however, no longer in my skin care list since it made my skin more sensitive. Now, I am going to talk about another product that I have tried from this brand- 24 Hour Hydrating Detox-White Night Jelly (50ml). The jelly comes in a very very light pink colour but turns into translucent as soon as I applied it on my skin, quickly absorbed and leaves me a good night look. When I am wearing this, I am either too tired to do paper masks or just wanna use it, haha. I can't sleep late when I am applying this at nights because my skin will not get the benefits from the mask and I can see and feel it. Since the jelly is so light, I can either top it on the night moisturizer or use it alone without feeling anything on my skin. It also smells good and the smell goes off quickly after I applied it on my skin. However, it only brightens my skin a little bit and hydrates my skin like usual moisturizer. No whitening, no lifting or whatever it claims to be. I bought this at RM39.90 if I am not mistaken. Overall, this is good for students who are looking after their wallets yet wanna feel good with their skins.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub

2012-03-12T10:54:00.001+08:00

I bought this babe 2 weeks ago after reading someone's blog. I am glad I did get this instantly after reading that blog (I couldn't recall the name of the blog however). I bought this at nearly RM20. One for 100ml.

As you can see, it claims to leave you clearer and smoother complexion. Yes, it really reduces my white and black heads, smoothens my skin very well, even prevent further acnes for about 4-5 days unless I got skin allergic. It has small microbeads in the scrub, so scrub it in circular motion slowly and gently would be the best way to do the cleansing job. Furthermore, it is mild enough for weekly scrub. I don't do daily scrub as my skin is very sensitive and thin. I fear that it might add troubles to my skin if I used it daily. It has BHA in it, BHA is mean to be a good cleansing and smoothing ingredient or something like that if I am not mistaken.

Simply put some on the balms and add some water, it will act like the usual cleansers but with better cleansing effects. Overall, it is a great product for everyone (especially oily skin with acnes). It does not make my skin sensitive too.

L'Oreal White Perfect Double Essence

2012-03-09T13:53:00.001+08:00

I am a fan of L'Oreal since I was a student. I have been loyal to this whitening essence for years and I am still using it ^^. The formula has changed however, more moisturizing and more effective on spots. I have pale skin with pink undertone and I guess that explains why I am concerned on the spot thing. This essence comes in 30ml, 2 kinds of essence (white cream and pink gel) combined together. It is said to be able to reduce dullness... yes, spots.... yes, yellowish... yes.... provide brightening and whitening... yes! increase moisturizing.... fair enough. Enriched with melanin-vanish, it helps skin become fairer and fades brown spots for a more even and transparent skin. Tourmaline gemstone helps stimulate skin microcirculation, helps inner rosy glow to shine through. It is priced at RM65.90 and you can get this at only RM50.90 when Guardian and Watson's are having great mega sales. I bet this is one of the best whitening essence you can get in drugstores.

As you can see, the combined essences absorbed into skin very quickly. It is so light and effective. And I can see how much whiter and brighter my skin looks now, so do my spots reduced (I was in the NS camp a few months ago). It is not pricey for the effects however. One can last me about 45 days if I use it day and night.

L'Oreal White Perfect Eye Cream

2012-03-09T13:45:00.001+08:00

I got this eye cream free... my ex bf bought me this ^^ last year. And I started using it and like it after months of applying it every day and night. He bought this at RM69.90 when it was newly launched. It comes in 15ml, nice packaging and a vibrating tool to help 'vibrate away' dark circles and puffiness.

I can't speak about the dark circles thing because I have only reddish puffy eyes and I did hope this to work well to reduce the puffiness. I stopped using the vibrating tool because it takes a lot of time and my eyes got irritated after using this (or maybe just other things that make me irritated).

The cream is in white shimmery, light texture and get absorbed very easily. However, I do have more oil seeds under my eyes and I wonder I have applied this too much when I started to use it everyday and night. After months of using, my eyes do look less puffy and smoother and brighter. But you will not see much effects at first and you're gonna wait and see. The cream contains tiny shimmery and not noticeable until you rub it off on your hand. This reminds me of the BB Cream from the same range. I guess that explains why I look better every morning after applying this. It is fair enough for puffy eyes (not as puffy as mine of course ^^). Light enough before you apply make up on.

You can see how my super puffy eyes were even with make up. Right, shows after using the L'Oreal eye cream for less than a month. I did edit the right side picture but no much differences before edited.

New updated: This may not suit oily eyelids as it causes more oil seeds and oily eyelids. You may find your eye make up melt as soon as you just applied it on after this eye cream.

Za Skin Beauty 2 Way Foundation And Casio Watch

2012-03-09T13:34:00.003+08:00

Hello people, recently my mum asked me to get the twin package of Za 2 way foundation after I told her I saw it at Guardian. It is at RM49.90 and it costed my mum about RM12 lesser than the usual price. We both are using the True White series and I didn't realize that wasn't TW series until I unsealed it at home. I was feared of it at first because it wasn't suitable for me. I did have this before and it was too drying and cakey for my skin (that time my skin was oilier).

This SB foundation comes in refill. You have to buy the separated pink case if you wanted it to be complete.

However, I realize it is much better than the old formula. I can say it is changed because it is so different from what I have used many months ago.

It is smoother and less radiant than the TW powder. It is very suitable for oilier skin, I used it that day I bought it it controls my facial oils very well. However, it only provides light-~~medium~~ full coverage ~~so people who need more coverage may need extra concealer or pick the TW powder which comes with full coverage yet natural and radiant look~~. TW comes in slightly pinkish base which SB comes in slightly yellowish base. Both are very long lasting. However, TW is better on concealing redness. Unfortunately, this new formulated SB powder breaks me out. I tried it for 2 days and I then realized I will not be using it again although I love the matte effect.

By the way, my mum bought me this new Casio female watch lately. It reminds me of my lost old blue unisex Casio watch somehow. It only costed her RM79 and is newly launched. I am glad I have this ^^.

Za Skin Beauty Liquid Foundation

2012-03-09T13:09:00.003+08:00

It's no new for the Za Skin Beauty Foundations since it has been 'published' a few years ago. I do have this foundation in both liquid and powder type, still I am not into the liquid type.

As you can see from the pictures above, it can be slightly messy after a few applications but it will not drip out. Furthermore, the cap is quite attractive. The foundation is said to be protective and hydrating with a essence full of hyaluronic acid and protection of SPF18 PA++. It comes in 8 shades if I am not mistaken, mostly in yellow base. A 30ml of this costed me only about RM30. However, this will be used up quite quickly. The texture is quite liquid, quickly dried up so you have to blend well quickly every time you apply this foundation on. I chose this in shade 20, the lightest shade available. It comes in very light yellow base and matches my pale skin with pink undertone very well. It leaves semi radiant look but the foundation doesn't last more than 5 hours on my combination skin. My skin tends to be dry on the cheeks and slightly oily on the t-zone lately. It is not so moisturizing but at least I don't feel tight after removing the make up.

Down: Left with this foundation, right with Maybelline Mousse.

You can see it is able to conceal the flaws and the coverage is buildable, from light to medium coverage. A little goes a long way. It matches skin very well. Unfortunately, it is not good for oilier skin because it tends to be a little bit cakey on the skin. I looked fake in real life with this foundation on. Fortunately, I realized that this is a nice foundation for dry skin. I used it on my mum and it looked much better on her skin. So I gave her this at the end.

Maybelline Pure BB Mineral Instant Skin Smoother Mousse

2012-03-07T14:48:00.000+08:00

BB Cream is never an outdated multi-functions cosmetic (especially in Asia). It's good to know what to use for a natural yet flawless look but is it that easy to find a suitable one? Well... not easy at all! I bet you guys have tried and tried at least 3 brands of BB Cream and some may still think that no BB out there is suitable. Now, the people' voice has been shouted out loudly and the companies know its time for the darker version of BB Cream... well that means making darker shades for darker skins.

I bought this Mousse at RM45 and the reason I bought were simply because I tried the other version of this range and it did not fail on me (however, not that lasting). Then, I am interested in Mousse things and I thought this would be a cheaper version of Shu Uemura BB Mousse Base which is about RM130 for 30ml. By the way, Shu's Mousse is somehow a little bit drying for me even my skin is combination. And Shu's doesn't provide any coverage. However, Shu's controls oil 'super' well. The best oil absorbing cosmetic I ever used! And it provides long lasting dewy look, allows make up to stay longer.

Now, I gonna speak about this mousse after 4 applications. It comes in 'fresh' tone, 65ml. Not that pricey for its size and functions. It claims the 8 skin care functions like the other version of Maybelline BB Cream. Moisturizing, sunblock, clarifying... bla bla bla. Frankly speaking, I don't think this really do well as a skin care base or whatever. However, it is very fast and easy to apply and it leaves semi radiant look. It also conceals fairly good but the shade is 3 tones darker than me. Still look 2 tones darker even after powdering with 2 way foundation (What The Fish?). The packaging is not that bad but it can be quite messy after 2 applications. The mousse simply 'stay' on the 'mouth' and cap and I really don't like this. It is required to shake well before 'spray' out the mousse and a little goes a long way and not much is needed to conceal the flaws. The mousse turned into slightly orangey shade when I spray it on my hand. It is so light like I didn't put on anything on my skin.

Well, you can see the difference between 'mousse face' (right) and naked face (left). It still looks very natural in the pictures but it can be a little bit cakey on my face after a while. Perhaps this is not well for oilier skin. However, drier skin may appreciate this. Trust me, I applied it on my mum once and even gave her this bottle. It is a great base for dry and mature skin, better with liquid foundation and a little bit of powder. These create nearly flawless, radiant and natural look when used together.

Unfortunately, it is not stable on my skin. You can see it is rubbed by the tissue paper easily as I blot on my skin. And I dislike this kind of foundation because it will definitely melt or fade away on my skin.

The picture above showed the look after application with Maybelline BB Mousse (right) and Za liquid foundation (left). By the way, this looks better in photo shooting than real life. And you can't find any cute shimmery in this mousse.

Tips For Quick And Effective Make Up!

2012-03-06T13:50:00.000+08:00

Hey people now I gonna tell you what's really quick and easy and effective to do when you are facing 'make up problems'!

1. Pick on BB Cream for a fresher, dewy or matte or radiant, natural look instead of usual foundation. BB Creams are usually make with moisturizing properties and you might consider trying a few until you found your shade. Everyone knows BB Cream usually comes in only 1-4 shades and its more difficult to get something like this to suit dark skin people. However, some may not be able to stay long on the skin so you might consider add on some light powder before you hang out with your friends.

2. Always use a non-irritating eye make up remover to remove your eye make up.Oil based removers are made to remove heavier make up, including very waterproof black mascara and so red lipstick. These removers can be bought at pharmacies (such as L'Oreal- the best I ever used, Maybelline, Majolica Majorca...). Hey, what if I forgot to bring my remover when I am out? Easy... try to get a petroleum jelly to remove your make up. Furthermore, you may apply it on your lips and brows and lashes for moisture, thicker 'hairs'.

3. Too dry skin for make up? Try to add a little bit of hydrating essence into your usual make up routine. Either apply it before make up or mix it with your liquid or cream or mousse foundation. After powdering, spray on some hydrating facial mist for long lasting make up and hydrated face.

4. Tired of those so damn waterproof but cool mascaras? Try to top on super natural false lashes instead of applying so hard to remove mascara. However, curl your lashes before applying the false lashes and top on one or two coats of mascara for more natural look. And... mascara is harder to 'fail' when you got false lashes on ^^.

5. Wanna look flawless in photo shooting? Then, you gonna try these babes. High definition and photo ready foundations are made for these moments (examples: Make Up For Ever HD foundation and Revlon Photoready foundation).However, this kind of products may dry your skin a little bit.

6. Run out of lipsticks or tired of them? Try one or two coats of super pigmented lipglosses for younger look. You can even apply on your cheeks and blend it for dewy blush! Don't say I didn't tell you~.

7. Bring at least one long lasting and nice perfume back to your home for 'LOVE' events and moments. You will never know when will you meet your special guy or gal~.

Etude House Golden Ration Contour Maker #2 Pink

2012-02-29T15:08:00.003+08:00

Have you ever wonder why do the celebrities look so great in the magazines and commercial and whatever? The secret key is: shading and highlighting. Believe it or not, a make up without shading and highlighting will not look that great in photo shooting and real life as well. So you can say it should be included in every cosmetic bag for full make up. Now let's see what is so special about this contour maker by Etude House. It comes in 3 different powders to enhance different radiance: cheeks (pink, shimmery light pink blusher), contour shading (brown, shimmery almost unnoticeable shading powder) and contour highlighting (translucent, shimmery radiant highlighting powder). Unfortunately, you will soon realize that the brown powder is not really useful. Firstly, it is really 'unnoticeable' like you got nothing on even if you applied on a lot. Next, it is too light to be used as eyeshadow. Yes, you can use it as eyeshadow for daily look but you will look like you applied nothing on your eyes except your skin is pale (like me) then you may see a little bit difference. And it is the lesser shimmery powder among the three powders.

The packaging.

All right, now I gonna say about the other powders in the case. The pink powder is suitable for daily use as very light pink blusher. You can apply it over your usual blushers to add on more radiance to your look (yet looking natural). The translucent powder can actually be used as a shimmery setting powder if you just use it a little bit over your whole face. You may add some of it on the areas you wanna add on radiance (such as t-zone and under eyes). It is not advisable for oily skin to apply too much of the translucent powder because it will make your skin look more oily when your skin produces facial oil. The packaging is quite attractive. It actually comes with a small cheek brush. You can simply put this contour maker in your bag and retouch your skin anytime with the brush which comes with it. The powders last for the whole day, even for me (I have combination skin). My mum bought this about RM35 at Etude House, 1 Utama. The thing I really like about Etude House is they have many attractive, affordable and good quality cosmetics. They often have promotions so check the stuffs out next time when you pass by one ^,^. *Tips: you can even apply it on the body to enhance the appearance.

Sometimes All You Need Is Some Changes...

2012-02-29T14:42:00.001+08:00

Now I wanna show you guys some of my pictures about personal make up and hair do. You may roll down a little bit and see the first picture.

Yes, this is after full make up and hair do. The client has requested me to do dolly like look on her and conceal her flaws on her face. I did not trim the eyebrows and apply eyebrow colour on her eyebrows because she did not feel like wanna do it. The hair is slightly messy to represent her passionate personality. I kept everything minimal, you can see I was actually using L'Oreal foundation on her face. Sometimes, things you're using don't really have to be expensive to be good. I applied on a thin layer of BB cream by Charmzone, then follow with a thin layer of L'Oreal foundation in #R2 (more on her flaws). The combination compliments her skin well. After dusting some Make Up For Ever Super Matte Loose Powder, I apply on shading and highlighting powder to enhance the radiance. I did not apply any eyeshadow on the eyes, all I did was apply on thin layers of black gel eyeliner on the upper eyelash lines and white eyeliner on the water lines. Next, I put on a few coats of black mascara and 2 pairs of natural false eyelashes on each eyes. I chose the dolly pink blusher to enhance the cheeks. I apply on thin layers of pink lip colour and lip gloss after I concealed the original lip colours.

The following pictures are about another make up and hair do on another client. I did a lighter version of smokey eyes on her, the lips and cheeks are paired with nude shades. After applying BB cream and foundation, I started to put on white eyeshadow over the upper eyelids and blend the shadow above the upper eyelids. I also put on the shadow below the bottom eyelash lines. Then, I put on black gel eyeliner on the upper and bottom eyelash lines. I blur it so it won't look too heavy. A pair of glossy false eyelashes are applied close to the upper eyelashes after applying mascara. I add on some drama on the eyebrows by applying a light amount of the gel eyeliner and blend it well in the brows. Next, I applied on shading and highlighting powders, so do nude colour cheeks and lips colours. I made the hair look wet and slightly messy by running a fair amount of hair wet look styling gel with my fingertips.

Dior Lip Addict...

2012-02-22T14:10:00.000+08:00

Hello people, its the Christian Dior Lip Addict range this time. Although I never have either one of these lipsticks or lipglosses but I did use them myself and on the models for a fashion show. As you can figure, the packaging is somehow look glamour and beautiful. They are also quite moisturizing at the same time. Anyway, I prefer products which don't just look good but also do good. The lipstick packaging is quite outstanding (one of the best I ever seen), so do the shades and the radiance and long lasting effects it gives. These products stay on the lips like nothing's on, so comfortable, so smooth, so photo ready. The lipgloss is just something much than normal to me but I am sure anyone can find several must buy shades at the counters. That means the products are good for all skin types and races. The range is launched for quite a long time and I knew it is quite famous (especially to the beauty addicted people). They are available in Malaysia, just go ahead to the CD counters to check it out. The prices are about RM100 or more (just like the other high end branded lip products).

Speaking to Him

2012-02-21T12:02:00.000+08:00

I am Alexis. I am a singular, a present thing, perhaps a male human, guy outside and a little bit of girly inside. My spirit has been divorced and separated into a few parts. Two major parts shall be The Priestess and The Demon while the others are The Peasant and The Cat.

The Priestess is made of the God's words. She reminds me of what is good and right, what should not be done. She helps me to remember to forgive and be forgiven. She clarifies me when it is needed. She shows her hands to me to lend me the energy for the further days. She tells me I should not do wrong and avoid bad.

The Demon is the Succubi lady, also represents the Darkness of me. She was the first separated spirit of me I met when I was suffering in the days of youth. She tells me never give up but she also makes me want more than just anger- death. She lets me do what I could not do or dare not to do. She builds me confidence and passion.

The Peasant, perhaps the simplest and less noticed part of my spirit. He although is not as powerful as the others but he is what I am. He tells me to do before its too late. He says "Just be yourself, its nothing wrong to do so.". He makes my mind clear when I am troubled by the pressure and the people and the surrounding. May be a smaller character but doesn't show his strength lightly.

The Cat, its in black was lastly created. It is like the naughty and naive side of me. Wants me feel hunger of power, wealth and sex. Makes me wonder if I were no human, haha. It tells me to flirt and stay like no one else.

Make Up For Ever Liquid Lift Foundation in #3

2012-02-21T11:19:00.000+08:00

Now its time for me to reveal the foundation I used on my mum in the Make Up For 'Elder Skin'. It is the Liquid Lift Foundation in #3 by Make Up For Ever, a famous professional France cosmetic brand. You may look in the following pictures. It is quite similar to the other professional or semi professional brands such as Bobbi Brown and Mac. The design is simple and mostly in black and white, nothing special about the packaging. The lifting foundation comes with a pump, one pump is enough for whole face, more for better coverage. Of course, MUFE does have some limited edition beautifully designed and made products, just have to watch out for these stuffs. You can find the counter in KLCC, MidValley, Sephore KLCC (if I am not mistaken). I am not sure where else have this brand counter. The 1 Utama counter has been closed.

The packaging and the foundation.

My mum got this foundation under my advise. It is priced at RM130, comes in many shades, 30ml. The shade my mum is using is slightly darker and more orangey than her skin. But this problem can be solved by setting it with good base and concealor and 2 way foundation so that the liquid foundation is used lesser and appears more natural and glamour. If you were wondering about the ingredients, the picture below will help you very much ^^.

The ingredients.

Shake well before use everytime.

Just like what is told in the back of the foundation (see the picture above), always shake well before you use it so that the effects would be much better than just applying it directly. Remember, always change your cream and gel and liquid or whatever cosmetic after 6-12 months. Powder type can be stored for 3-5 years after exposed to the air. This foundation is safe for sensitive skin and doesn't contain funny or strange smell. And it is made in France! Glad, huh?

This is how its like on my hand (its much darker than me because this foundation belongs to my mum).

See it on my handback, it is quite watery and it does the same on the skin, creating the desired flawless dewy and glamour look for ageing skin. Foundation is applied easily and absorbed by the skin quickly. However, this suits skin with lesser oil and I don't think oily skins will find this friendly since it contains moisturizing agents to keep the make up fresh and lifted all day. You can sweep or pat on more powder after the foundation if you were worrying it is too dewy to you. Lesser powder is needed for this foundation since it is quite long lasting even if was used alone. And it looks great in photo shooting. However, this foundation doesn't cover spots and wrinkles completely so you may wanna wear a light weight, natural concealor before applying this foundation. Overall, this is much better than any more or less pricey lifting foundations (also beats Bobbi Brown which is priced at RM160).

The Balm Bahama Mama Shading Powder

2012-02-20T14:42:00.000+08:00

To every beauty addicted people, you may have considered having something to sharpen your face and look better in photo shooting and face to face. The Balm Bahama Mama Shading Powder is here to help you in your everyday make up routine. There are things I would like to say about this product. Let's speak about the benefits and why I like it. Firstly, it is affordable. It only cost you RM65 at any The Balm counters, Sasa. It comes with a mirror for you to look after your make up. The design is erotic and somehow it reminds me of Benefits. It is also suitable for everyone. See the pictures below for the packaging. Sorry that I didn't keep it well and it really looks dirty. It contains lesser ingredients. It also contains quite a huge amount of powder. You can even share it with your friends. The Balm is an American brand if I am not mistaken. They also have great foundation and cream concealor which work great.

I gave this to my mother and I usually use the big blush brush and big eyeshadow brush to do the shading.

This look is done with the powder, it really looks pretty, right? A tip here, you can use it as eyeshadow for minimal make up. It is waterproof even on oily face and eyelids. This means that it is long lasting. There are also things that you should worry about it. It should not be applied too much at once or else it may end up looking weird like if there was something on your face. Blend it quickly. The case inside can be messy after several times of using and the mirror is quite fragile. Don't drop it or else yours will end up looking like mine in the pictures above.
