STRESSSS??????

Thursday, May 30, 2013

Living in a big city just makes everything extra stressful. One thing about stress is it's not all bad, it could be something that motivates you to achieve something. Imagine someone living without any stress, life would be really dull and boring. I think it's impossible to have 0 stress in life, unless you are a tree lol.

But it's funny how that not everyone knows how to manage their stress. I think I'm quite good at it cuz I am very happy when it comes to stress. I'm not 100% sure but I think most of the stress I'm going through is a good one. One of the examples would be the good stress you have when you're planning for something great ; the bad stress you have when things are unplanned and gave you a heart attack.

I find that even how stress you are, you always need to learn how to keep calm and relax a lil bit. Everyone has to balance up their lifestyle. What I normally do to relax my stress is...

Take a 30-45 minutes relaxing bath.
I love hot bath cuz it's good for blood circulation and the feeling after that hot bath is awesome!!

Drink a cup of calming tea.
My favourtie will be Chamomile tea but my mom normally make me a cup of Ginseng tea when she saw me stressing (Ginseng tea clears out mental exhaustion and stress immediately).


Chill out session with ma babes.
I'm not sure when it started, me and my babes meet up every week. We'll go our fav cafe and share our problems. I think it's really good to talk to someone you love, it calms you when you're going through stress. If you don't have time to go out, maybe try calling you bestie :D


Listen to my fav music.
Music to me is like everything, I love how music has to power to calm someone. Of course, with the right music selection. When I'm stress, I normally listen to more chill out tracks.


Well, I recently I started taking Pharmaton (after I got it from the event) and I do feel that a slight change. I normally feel sleepy after I take a meal and couldn't sleep at night, but I think I don't feel it that much right now after taking Pharmaton for 2 weeks. I guess I'll be continue taking it since it's working on my stress :D You can read more about Pharmaton at www.pharmaton.com

I guess everyone has their own way to balance up their lifestyle, how bout you ? 

Share with me what works best for you cuz I'll be givng out...
 3 X Secret gift (picked by me and Pharmaton) 

Looking forward to read your comments :D

3 step Energized skin with Origins

Tuesday, May 28, 2013

I’m a very skin care person. I love trying new skin care to find the right one that suit me. To be honest, I think skin care is much more cosmetics cuz I want to look pretty even without make up lolllll. My lifestyle as a blogger sounds like a easy job, but from my observation, most bloggers I know sleep super late night. Well I guess nowadays our generation sleeps really late, thanks to the power of internet…


They said zombie apocalypse will come someday, well I think we already look like zombies without any virus infection. Or maybe it’s just me. I even had a nickname called zombie lau.




Good news is! Today I am going to share with you a new product that I just got from Origins, GinZing Energy Boosting Moisturizer !!! Fyi, the GinZing series from Origins are made for people like me who sleeps late night and needs a coffee every morning to gain energy and it’s much more affordable compare to some of the big brands out there. How affordable? It’s only RM100 for GinZing Energy Boosting Moisturizer!





Did I mention that I am a huge fan of moisturizer? Some people mistaken that if they oily skin they shouldn’t use moisturizer but it’s actually WRONG! ( The fact is the skin produces oil because the skin is not moisturize enough!! ) All skin type needs to use moisturizer and I love how this GinZing moisturizer works on every skin types. Besides that, I love how they picked Panax Ginseng and Coffee Bean as two of the key ingredients to jump start our skin's hydration levels and creates a healthy, vibrant glow :D



*Proven by Science : One application of GinZing Energy-Boosting Moisturizer -

Boost skin's radiance

Improves skin's hydration

Smoothes skin



The scent of this moisturizer is like orange but it’s actually the combination of grape fruit, lemon and spearmint so we actually feel energized by smelling it too.



As for the texture, it's very light weight and not greasy at all!



Here is my 3 step Energized skin to start off my day : 

  1. Dap GinZing eye cream to reduce puffness and dark circles.
  2. Massage GinZing Energy-Boosting Moisturizer into skin.
  3. Apply concealer at eye area ( I have super dark eye circles so... )


I can just go out like this! Hehehe.



Their GinZing eye cream is actually one of the best sellers since they launched years ago. Didn’t know how magically it works until I tried it! Love it!!!!




I personally recommend to those who are interested to grab the Double Espresso which includes GinZing Energy-Boosting Moisturizer and Eye Cream cuz it's so much worth! Other than that you'll get extra travel size Origin products that worth more than RM100 :D And the Double Espresso set is only RM242!






Btw, do check out their Earth Month limited edition products cuz if you buy one face wash , Origins will plant a tree for free! Love how Orgins are so earth friendly, fyi, all their products packaging can be recycled too!!



Lastly.... 
I AM GIVING OUT 5 X Origins GinZing Energy-boosting Moisturizer!!



Just tell me what is your quick energizing remedy ( activity/food/anything ) by leaving me a comment below and 5 of you will get to win one Origins GinZing Energy-boosting Moisturizer :D

 Looking forward to your answers!hehe

Pharmaton Hi-Tea

Saturday, May 25, 2013

Hi hi everyone, before I start blogging, I wanted to ask if anyone heard of Pharmaton? I guess most of you are same like me, heard of Pharmaton but never really know what it is. I was invited to join Pharmaton Hi-Tea Party @Switch , Menara HP and I had totally no idea what pharmaton is until that day..

The theme of the party is Orange! 
I rarely have orange in my closet but thank god I found an orange blazer which I don't remember where did I get it from :/

Pharmaton decorated the whole cafe into Orange and Blue and each tables are nicely decorated..
Each of us gets a note book with a note writed Stress is Desserts spell backwards :D

with baby Ash, Yang Bao Bei and Ken Ken ( Yang Bao Bei bf )

The first session was introducing Pharmaton to all bloggers! Apparently most of us heard about Pharmaton cuz Pharmaton existed since decades but not all of us know what is was. Pharmaton is actually a multivitamin and mineral supplement brand developed to enhance physical and mental well-being :D

We usually face 2 types of stress everyday, positive stress and negative stress and Postive stress can motivate to achieve our goal. Apparently the stress we go through during exams are actually positive stress. How I wish I know Pharmaton when I was still studying cuz Pharmaton has all the essentials needed to help stay energized during the stress / exam season. It improves concentration, alertness and memory retention and also improves physical and mental performance. Which also helps combats the symptoms of stress and tiredness to help the body to adapt in stress situations.
Pharmaton® is an All-in-One health supplement containing the essential vitamins, minerals
with the Standardized Ginseng Extract G115® for Health and Vitality.

We had our first game which was the memory game! Where we were divided to 3 groups of 5 and we have to complete the matching pictures on the board. Our team got number two thooo.. I admit I am really bad in memorizing things.
Yey! Got our certicicate of completion hehehe.

After that, it's food timeeeeee..
Ommm nommm nommm

looking at these pictures makes me drool ….

Mini patty is love!

Next was the mini treasure hunt.. where they hide cards that represents each bloggers and each bloggers will get a special “treasure” that was specially hand picked by Pharmaton.

Guess what...
My card was acutlaly that Gwiyomi girl. HAHAAHAHAHAH and I did the whole gwiyomi thing infront of everyone *awkward *

Anyway, Pharmaton is so awesome cuz they actually know all bloggers... and they got me this..
Ciate nail polish!!!!!!!!!! I went all bimbo after seeing what I got lolll. Also, Pharmaton for everyone.

After the game, we took group photos and it was a wrap!!!

I started taking Pharmaton after that day, I will definitely blog about it soon (with giveaways!) So stay tuned!!!

Lastly, Thank you so much Pharmaton for the invitation and the hand picked gift!!!!

Laneige BB Cushion & White Plus Renew Original Essence

Wednesday, May 22, 2013

Hi Hi! Today I'm going to share with you two new products that I bought recently which I highly recommend to girls who are looking for a new foundation / BB cream and also for girls who want K-look fair complexion :D

The secret is from Laneige! I am a huge fan of Laneige and I've been using their water sleeping pack since 2 years ago! 2 weeks ago, I decided to try their award-winning product, Laneige BB Cushion and I am in love with it!



One of the most “high-tech” compact / BB cream I ever seen lolll. It's not like the normal compact or BB cream you see outside, it's actually a liquid BB filled sponge, using the air pump technology, it dispenses a thin layer of liquid BB onto the puff. All you have to do is pat all over your face, slowly add 1 or 2 layers for more coverage with a natural smooth finish.

It wins my heart cuz it's not only a cosmetic product but it's also has skin care benefits ! Plus it's so easy to use cuz it comes in a compact with puff and I won't have “creamy fingers” after using it. I do bring along everywhere for touch up too!

Soothing Effect & Hydration
It helps to retain moisture by up to 30 per cent more so your skin feels refreshed and soothed! Its instant cooling sensation makes it an ideal touch-up tool because it reduces skin temperature by 3°C (great news for fatigued skin!)

Brightening
It contains White Plus Renew Complex™ which is made up by silymarin, bead tree and y-PGA. This unique combo of ingredients reduces production of melanin to prevent dullness, remove dead skin cells, and restore skin elasticity for brighter clearer skin.

SPF50+ PA+++
Powerful sunscreen protects you from the sun by blocking out damaging  UV rays that cause premature skin aging

Skin Tone Correction

Sweat-proof
It creates an elastic barrier that blocks perspiration and sebum. Perfect for our hot Malaysian weather!



Highly recommended to BB cream users

Besides that, I finally stepped out from my 3-step-skincare routine ( cleanse – tone – moisturize) and got myself the new Laneige White Plus Renew Original Essence. I used to think that I'm too young to use essence but then I'm like 21 now :/ Apparently my usual 3-step regime couldn't really save my uneven skin tone so I decided to give this bottle of essence a go. It is, after all, it's SHK's must have beauty item :D




I used to think that whitening products are very dry but Laneige White Plus Renew Original Essence not only address skin whitening but also provides hydration !When skin is more hydrated, melanin formation slows down; skin’s surface layer appears with a healthy and radiant glow, as dullness is reduced. Skin also absorbs the nutrients better from skincare products while effectively brightens skin tone. Melacrusher™ actively removes the Melanin Veil for a flawless, brigher complexion in just 2 weeks!! I saw the difference in my skin :D

6 Benefits
Achieve beautiful and radiant skin, via 6 functions: Luster, Moisture, Brightness, Evens Skin Tone, Slows Melanin Rate and Reduces Dullness.
It's also suitable for sensitive skin as it's free from 4 harmful elements; Paraben, Animal Products, Artificial Pigments and Mineral Oil.


If you're a Laneige fan like me or you are interested to try Laneige, I've got some good news! Laneige is having a global blogger contest where bloggers will get a free make over with Laniege and also stand a chance to win an ambassador contract with Laneige!

All you have to do is Blog about your favorite Laneige skincare & Make up product, 10 winners from each country will be shortlisted and invited to a makeover session with Laneige.

During this makeover session there will be experts conducting the makeovers and photographs/videos will be taken of the bloggers.After the makeover session, the 10 winners will be asked to recreate their K-beauty looks in a blog post.

It will be base on local country winners.. Each country will pick their own LANEIGE Ambassador for their own country

That's just one day when you wake up, and you can't stand it anymore
Taking that one way ticket, leaving things unpack cuz you'll know it's going to be a long way
Sacrifices they said, now or never
You have the answers deep down but you've been running
Tripping all over thinking everything it's going to be okay but it's not okay
It's time to grow up, it's scary but someday you gotta face it
Accept the change
You gotta move on, you'll be fine than ever.

Amour Double Eyelid Tape + Generation Beauty Talk!

Monday, May 20, 2013

Ohai! I know most of you wanted to know how did I do my eyelid since I have inner eyelid.I actually did a tutorial post 2 years ago, you can read it here . I did a lot of experiments on eyelid tapes to achieve the most invisible look and I find Amour double eyelid tape is my favourite among others. It's very long lasting and also it looks really invisible. Alot of people I met didn't know I actually use eyelid tape for my double eyelid.

Nah my very inner eyelid :( I really have to urge to do double eyelid surgery... I don't want those over high one, just do like how I use to stick is enough T.T I personally find it very normal to do eyelid surgery just that Idk why some people make it a big deal... I normally go out use double eyelid tape also mah, what's the difference? I can never go out without double eyelid tape :/

Here's my usual step :
I cut it into a very thin tape to get the most natural looking eyelid.

I didn't put any eyeshadow and it looks almost invisible already!


Fyi, you can get Amour Eyelid Tape from Chinkie Candy FB .I know there's alot look alike selling outside but I can tell you that Chinkie Candy sells the best quality!
So if you're interested, get it from : https://www.facebook.com/chinkiecandy?fref=ts

Everytime there’s a hot new single like PSY’s Gentleman , she will be the first to know about it.She will be the one who always ask me to go for concerts with her, or see a band whenever they land in Malaysia! But I don’t know about you guys, but those Kpop concert tickets are pricey!

The last time they had the awards in KL, each ticket cost about RM600 plus… I know right lol.

Emotional Thai Music Videos...

Wednesday, May 15, 2013

Is it me or anyone else out there thinks that Thai music videos are interesting to watch? I'm not sure when did I start noticing about their music videos, prolly seen my friends sharing on facebook and some of them are pretty good...

Okay I'm gonna share a two of the one trending on my news feed.





The first thing came into my mind was... WHY DO THAI GIRLS LOOK SO DAMN HOT?!?!
I think instagram really helped thailand alot cuz I followed like more than 30 thai girls and most of them have more than 100k followers :O I adore how they dress, their hair their make up all so perfect. Don't care if they had plastic surgery or not but if they did, their plastic surgeons are damn successful.

Anyway, both music videos' story line are quite interesting, and they acted really well... Maybe thai pop should use this kind of short film and make it their signature music video thing... Not bad huh..

Okay, gonna check out more thai pop songs on youtube now. hehe.


Happy Mother's Day

Monday, May 13, 2013

Felt really guilty for not blogging these days, I wasn't really in the mood due to some problems but life still goes on. Yesterday was Mother's Day, brought mummy out to KLCC for brunch @ Ki Ki Taiwan Cuisine and also to choose Mother's Day present.

Me and my mom are the same type of person, we don't really like surprise cuz people just don't know what we're thinking and it'll be a disappointment if things went wrong lol. She actually request us to bring her to choose her present instead of us getting her something she might not like. Cute nya.


Anyway, what I wanted to blog that I think I really grew up. When I was younger, I used to hate what my mom tells me and I was totally against her but now when I think back what she used to say, almost everything was right and sometimes I do wish that I listened to her. 
 
I can't explain how much I love her but what I can do now is being a great daughter and set her free from being worried about me. Thou it's impossible that she won't worry about me anymore but at least I hope I can make her proud. There's so many things I wanna achieve, and my mom is one of the reason why I MUST make it happen.

 I MUST. 

It's really awkward cuz I don't really say things so geli but I wanted to say that..

I LOVE YOU MOM. 
now and forever.


Rakyat tsunami...

Thursday, May 9, 2013

It's funny how I was so mad about the results of the election but yet I'm also quite glad that it made #blackout505 happen yesterday at Kelana Jaya Stadium. Sadly I wasn't there cuz I am afraid. I am and I regretted. Everyone who made it there yesterday deserves a big round of applause for being a fighter.

I bet the whole world knows about what's going on in Malaysia and I think someone is already shitting in his pants. Chinese tsunami? Yea just part of it, but when you want tsunami, malaysian show you the power of RAKYAT TSUNAMI.
(photo credits to : 五月五,换政府 facebook )

Nope, it's not only happening in Malaysia...

#shitjustgotreal

And yeap, don't even have to pay a single cent to any celebrity to come, let the crowd sing to you.

I almost shed a tear just by watching it through the internet.
For the first time I feel so touched by our national anthem, it's the rakyat who sang it so beautifully and it brings out the real spirit. 

On my facebook, I was saying that if someone has nothing nice to say, shut the fuck up.
 (photo credits to : google )
 To be honest, there isn't any good about all these racists articles. I can see the only purpose they publish it is to fuck up Malaysia and #ApaCinaMahu was trending in twitter I was like dafuq...and I feel really sorry cuz innocent people have to apologize for the people who started this mess.

Sadly, NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US MALAYSIANS cuz are who we are. Well at least we speak languages that only us Malaysians can understand...
(photo credits to facebook )

Thank you Malaysians for making this country filled with love once again. 

Oh and yes, am wearing black for this Saturday.
