My December Giveaway!!

Since I noticed that a lot of people entered my previous giveaway, I decided to hold a flash giveaway! I don't think it's fair that only one person gets to win so I'm giving another chance for you all to win!

The prizes aren't as fancy as before but it's about the same value :)

All in all, 9 items (including the pouch). The lipstick shown here is mine, I'll get the prize one tomorrow 

You will get all of the items listed on the widget and it will be put into the pouch you will also receive.

The rules are the same as before:

This giveaway is not sponsored. Below are the rules for this giveaway:

1) It is open internationally. 

2) Participants must have permission to share their address as I need it to send the prizes (for international entries and participants not from Brunei Muara, unless we can meet up at Bandar). 

3) Winner will be chosen at random. Should the winner not contact me within 48 hours, he or she will forfeit it and a new winner will be selected, also at random.

4) Giveaway hunters would not be entertained. Unfollowing just as soon as the giveaway ends would result in getting blacklisted.

5) Once I reach a hundred followers, a new giveaway would be announced (This would be a huge one, believe me you :D)

a Rafflecopter giveaway


The only compulsory step this time is to:

- Leave a comment on what items you would prefer for future giveaways

If you want to earn extra entries, feel free to add more entries :D

I don't have swatches of the palette here but the ones I saw online are pretty :) This one is more colourful than the previous one. It has a golden yellow, orange and reddish tone that would look so beautiful as a sunset eyelook! And it also has neutral colours as well.

If you wanna take a look at the palette and swatch, kindly visit this site (I love this blog btw)

As for the lipstick, it's a nice buildable sheer nude that I am loving right now. It doesn't dry up the lips and is moisturizing. It has a slight fruity fragrance to it.

The two masks you will be receiving: a whitening and dead skin removing sheet mask and one is a charcoal pack which is good to deep cleanse your pores. I believe you can use it at least twice or three times, depending on how well you store it.

Okay, so that's it :D

If you're interested in winning these prizes, do join the giveaway!


I have a special giveaway for the New Year's! There will be 2 to 3 winners, depending on the situation! And yes, it WILL be international!

What are you waiting for? Follow my blog to know what it'll be!

Good luck everyone!

P.S: The winner of the previous giveaway has been chosen. Is it you? Do check! Are you the winner?

My 100th Post Giveaway!

Hey everyone :D

It is 4 in the morning right now as I'm typing this, and boy, am I sleepy!
But it's okay because I'm so excited to finally announce my first ever giveaway on my blog!

To be honest, I really wanted to upload my Miri Haul from yesterday but then it's the 100th post! I can't delay posting this giveaway! I'm so excited and so scared at the same time because I don't know how this works!

I'm going to use a widget to make this easier for me! If you're familiar with Rafflecopter, maybe you can do this well.

You see, this giveaway isn't much to be honest. I've collected things around, making sure I like it before I included it. As this is a tester kind of giveaway, I didn't want to giveaway something very extravagant just yet. I love sharing though :) and picking gifts, making sure it's thoughtful.

If I had the extra money, I would have included more things but I guess for now this is fine. If you've read my post before, then you should know I've taken leave from university and am currently trying to get my health in check. This 30th, I'll finally have my colonoscopy and endoscopy. Not really looking forward to it but it's the only way to know what's really wrong!

Anyway, what I really had in mind for my first giveaway were things I really love, but then I decided that I'll keep that for future giveaways :)

So here are the (very modest) prizes:

100th Post Giveaway Prizes

Here are the prizes!

Plus some samples!

Here are the closeups of the bag and some swatches (minus the eyeliner because I won't swatch them)

This is the case:

Adorable isn't it?

This is what the palette and lipstick look like (these are mine, of course):

L.A Colors in Cafe Au Lait

Baviphat Barbie Pet Magic Girls Lipstick in No.8 (forgot the name)

Here are the swatches from the palette (without a primer) and the lipstick:

Under room light. The far right one is of the lipstick.

This is with the flash from my phone.

The pigmentation of the palette is very good surprisingly. The only shade I don't like is the white one but other than that, it's a good neutral palette :) It's compact and you can easily do touch ups. The sponge tip applicator is very rough by the way. Very different from the Asian sponge tips, which are softer. 

As for the hand cream, I find it necessary to have hand cream everywhere you go! I can't live without hand creams when I go out. I'd feel weird! The hair velcro is cute and fashionable and would help keep your stray hair away from the face when you apply makeup!

Okay, now the thing with the eyeliners...

Blue World :O

These are actually from the set my sister got me. However, I did not use it as I also bought something similar. I can't really say much about them except I know that the black one that I do use, is very pigmented. Blue isn't really my thing for eye makeup either, so maybe you can rock it better?

So, I think that's about it for the giveaway!

I do hope people join it (I know it's not much, but it's a start). This giveaway is in no way sponsored (except partially by my parents I guess)

Do share this giveaway if you want :) If I can get to fifty followers, I can start planning for my hundred followers giveaway :D

Make sure you follow all the rules :) it's not that hard.

An Oily Experiment

I was bored yesterday, so I decided to do an experiment. I've seen this a lot on bloggers so I decided to use an oil blotting paper like them and see how oily the things I've been using (or avoiding). From this experiment, I can safely say that I'm surprised at how oily the primer and one of the BB Creams are, despite how small of a swatch used!!

Well, just look at it!!

I've labelled it here. I hope you all can see it!!

This is after 30 minutes to an hour?

This is after a while longer. Wow.

As you can see, the Peach Sake has very little oil. But despite this, it still makes me oily after maybe, 4-5 hours? Or less. I don't count. But interestingly enough, using the Rose Lemon is fine for me.

It doesn't break me out.

I think the primer breaks me out. I should check again.
The Ginvera one I think, it broke me out but again, need to check that again.

Sasatinnie...it's too light for me to use.

So yeah, I guess experimenting like this helps to see how much oily your foundation/BB Cream/primer has!!

Do try it out.

And here's some useless photos I took today.
I actually wanted to use my clear contacts but didn't have time.

Here I'm using my SkinFood Tomato Suncream, Rose Lemon BB Cream, Rice Concealer Tip, Peach Sake Perfect Concealer and then my SilkyGirl Pressed Powder. For the eyes, just SilkyGirl Gel Liner in Black and for the lips, Revlon Lip Butter in Cherry Tart.

Yes, my face still needs heavy coverage ):
I've edited the lighting here but didn't have to edit noticeable blemishes and whatnot.

No shadow day, coz it'll crease anyway.

Without glasses.

I have my eyes on either SkinFood's Mink Mocha eyeshadow quad or SilkyGirl's Bare Classics. Either that or an imitation Naked Palette.

I'd post a pic of it but they don't have nice photos of either D:<
Damn.

LOL me and my neutrals.

Well let's face it, with my skin tone it's hard to be colourful. I might as well sell my 120 palette to someone who can actually use all colours!!!

And I'll stick with my neutrals.

Okay,  I'm tired.

G'night!!

Finally It Has Arrived (Feat. A Small Haul)

Okay, I think I'm okay enough now to blog again.

So hey, how've you been?
I've been fine.

I think.

Anyway, you know how I reported my sample order from The Sample Store as lost? Well, whaddya know, it arrived last Saturday.

From Singapore TO Brunei, it takes a month plus? Really? Seriously?
REALLY?

I can't comprehend how much my small package has been volleyed around countries.
Or maybe it has been hiding in the Brunei P.O under all the big packages. Either way, I'm glad because you can only order one type of sample ONCE only from the site. It bummed me a bit at the thought lol;

So I'm happy it arrived.

Here are pics of the samples I chose:

The sample collection.

Lioele Beyond The Solution BB Cream samples

Ginvera Green Tea Nude Cover BB Cream samples

The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso Whitening Serum samples

I haven't tried any of them since I'm using this serum already. It's Garden of Eden's Rosa T Acne Serum. It's basically Tea Tree Oil that doesn't sting as much LOL. With some extra scar healing ingredients in it. It's okay so far, I think

I'm looking forward to trying them out but not now, maybe soon.
I need to buy more of the small sample jars so I can store extras in it lol.
I'm quite stingy when it comes to the littlest drop left.

With the Rosa T Acne Serum, I also got this!!
I'm loving it so much right now.

Maybelline Baby Lips in Smoothing Cherry

Unfortunately this is the clear balm type. I really want to try out Cherry Me but I doubt the'd sell it here :(
I love anything with cherry, you see.

This might replace my HG in lip conditioning, lol. My poor Cherry Vaseline.

The thing I like most about this is that it's not as oily as the vaseline but still moisturizing.

Other than that, my order from SaSa(dot)com has arrived!!

7 items huh? Orly? 

Ooooh, a Sasa plastic bag!!

Tee-hee. So excited for this!

As you can see, there are actually 9 items. One item was a set of three lol, so yeah. Good deal.
Oh, and you can see I ordered a back-up of the Sasatinnie Hair Mask.

It's THAT good.
It is.

I might try out the Spot Whitening Serum tonight.

I know I should list the things I got but I'll save that for later lol.

Oh, and I'm quite disappointed. I thought when I ordered this, there was a free mask promo.
Apparently I didn't get it. LOL. I didn't notice that I didn't :(

Ah well, I have like, 6 masks in that box so I'm fine!!

I'm tired.

So yeah, 'til then!!

The Sample Store

I just made my very first "purchase" from The Sample Store :DDD *applause*

I used the points for three samples that consists of:

- Ginvera Green Tea Nude Cover BB Cream Spf30/pa++ (3 days supply)
- Lioele Beyond The Solution BB Cream - 50 ml
- The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso Whitening Serum (3 days supply)

I'm guessing they'll come in packets?
But I might be wrong.

Since this is my first time, I can't really elaborate about the service nor review it yet but here's to hoping it'll arrive sometime soon :)

Really looking forward to these samples :) especially the Ginvera BB Cream, because I have this coupon thing I can use for it LOL.

But yeah....

If you're interested in checking it out, here's the link to register:

The Sample Store

By registering, you can instantly redeem THREE samples (2 points deducted for each, so you get 6 points by joining). Your shipping costs will depend on the weight, and your country which they will automatically calculate from your location :)

I'm also trying to make a purchase at SaSa...but D: there's something effing wrong with my i-bank.

( ;A; ) it's not showing the real fund D:

Sigh, I really need to call the bank :/

'til then!

P.S: I have a facial this afternoon. OH PLEASE, DE-CLOG MY PORES!!!!!!
