Clothing Haul :D

This is rather impromptu LOL.
I was out with my parents and my nephew and we just came from the hospital. I needed to see my doctor about some things...and well, it made me feel down.

So yeah, we went to Hua Ho Mall to buy a rice cooker LOL. I was gonna buy some headphones but I actually need a very good one for music making so I passed.

There were some cute clothes from this brand called EighteenPlus? They just have the cutest things!
So mom decided to get me some clothes because most of the clothes she got me were small :x

Granted, normally I wouldn't agree to clothes that cost more than BND50 per piece but I was feeling down.


( ;-; ) I'm spoiled, I know.

This is friggin' cute. Unfortunately it's quite pricy :/ I normally don't buy something that costs this much.
By this much I meant: BND54.90.

This normally cost the same like the one on top but it was half-off.
Goodness.
It's so cute D: Comes with a belt too. (Not in photo)

This is more of a stretchy material and is really comfy.
Still unforgiving with the price though. BND49.90.

This is cute and light and is the cheapest one here.
BND19.90.

I really normally only indulge myself in expensive makeup lol; so yeah, this is a bit different.

But I don't think I'll be shopping for clothes again in the near future.

Except for underwear I guess.

Last but not least~

I decided to get a Zam-Zam Hair Oil.

I chose the coconut variant.

Never have I tried this oil! I just wanna try it out because my friend says my hair will grow a lot faster!

Well, I hope so D: I hate it short.

Cheapest thing in this post, definitely.

I'm loving the LUSH Mask of Magnaminty.

ICE CREAM I TELL YA.

Anyway, I should sleep.

I really wanna throw up :x

Good night then!

Take care.

-Nisah-

P.S: Check out my blogsale on makeup and skincare :D RIGHT HERE.

Procrastination Haul

Hi guys, sorry I haven't been posting a lot.
Been thinking of it, but I couldn't bring myself to.

Yesterday something kinda "traumatic" happened to me.

Okay.
It was a haircut. An ugly one.

It was my fault though. I guess I'll talk about that next time. Hopefully tomorrow?

Anyway, let's get onto the haul. Mostly bought.

Recently, my sis came back from the UK and brought with her, something I ordered last year. Yeah. It's last year's stuff. It's not recent. I haven't been buying anything. Just two things, because I was looking for a powder to replace my BB Creams.

I have stopped using my BB Creams, I guess I might have a blogsale up soon.

Moving on...

I got a Two Way Cake from Pixy. My friend suggested it.
I decided to get two shades. I've only tried the Yellow Beige.
It is too light for me but I think I can use it for highlighting.

I also tried using it wet, it did not look good. LOL.

Pixy Two Way Cake Perfect Fit

But then again I didn't really use it properly I think. It's not too pricy either. I bought the refill because I figured that I didn't need a full compact. I kinda want to get a Z-Palette one day!

My sis got me some stuff from The Body Shop. The Banana Shampoo and Conditioner. I think I have too many bottles of the shampoo and I only have ONE conditioner >_>; Brunei doesn't carry the conditioner which is a bummer!

The shampoo on its own smells delightful but somehow it's drying :/

She also got me a Deep Sleep/Quiet Night Dreamy Pillow & Body Mist. I just noticed the name was different tonight lol. The one I got from KK is called Quiet Night. HM.

The Body Shop Mini Haul

She also brought back the MUA stuff I ordered last year.

I am on a makeup ban so I dunno how I feel about it lol.

I bought them last year okay.

MUA Nail Quake Polishes

One of them will be in my blogsale.

MUA Makeup Haul

I tried the MUA Pro-Brow Kit and I really like it!

I don't think I'll open any of them yet.

I might even sell some of them on the blogsale lol.

The most expensive haul I got is from Dr. Pico.
Honestly, I was excited for one item only, the Blackhead Serum.

I haven't even tried any of them yet.
I can't because they told me I would break out and I can't break out before my sister's engagement (It's on Saturday).

If it works like hell, then I'm in a pickle.

Dr.Pico Haul

Last but not least, I won these recently from a giveaway by Etude House Brunei.

I worked hard for it. LOL. Kinda embarrassed but I really, really wanted it.

Reason was that I didn't know it was limited edition UNTIL I checked that site I was gonna buy from. I kept asking and asking EH Brunei WHY they didn't bring it in, but they didn't say.

When I saw that they were giving them away I hyperventilated lol.

I was like "WHAT???"

So yeah.

Etude House Sweet Recipe Limited Edition Nail Polish

I wanted it and I got it.

They're so cute ( ;-; )

So yeah, that's my procrastination haul.

I think I'll be using the Dr.Pico stuff next week?

I'll be doing updates I guess since I'm borrowing my sister's camera so yay for HQ pics. (Minus one pic here lol)

...even though I suck at taking photos.

Drool.

I baked this last Saturday :D

It's supposedly a pumpkin pie but I guess it's more of a custard.

It's yummy.

So yeah, take care!

My giveaway is ending soon :)
Join it if you want to.

P.S: I'm doing a Modern Family Marathon :D
Join me? LOL

Favourite Couple ;D

Favourite Products: March 2013

Hey there :D

I decided to do a favourites post after reading Kim's post! Even though I usually don't do things like this, I realised that I do have some favourite products that I go to all the time!

Okay, let's start:

1)

Maybelline Baby Lips in 'Coral Flush'

This is my go-to lip balm. Yes, it's tinted, because I haven't managed to buy the un-tinted one to use every night. This one, despite it being tinted, is very toned down, even though it's supposed to be coral. It just gives a nice flush of colour when you need it. It is quite similar to another Maybelline lipstick but I shall talk about that in a more in-depth review.

Why do I like it? It simply hydrates my lips so well! And it smells nice too.

2)

Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipstick in 'Finale'

I love this. It has a weird finish, it's not fully matte, but not fully shiny either. I guess it's like...suede? Lol duh. That IS the name of the lipstick. It's just weird, but I love it! I like how it's matte but not overly drying but not too hydrating either. Does that make sense? Either way, it's a lovely product and really not as strong as "In-your-face" as I thought it'd be! It stays on my lips quite comfortably.

I can also opt to tone it down with my next favourite~

3)

essence lipstick in 'In The Nude'

This is a lovely, hydrating nude lipstick. You get a lot of product for how much you buy it for. That's not bad, right? It smells nice, kinda fruity, and goes on your lips so well. You can use it to just nude out your lips lightly or if you want it more opaque, you can layer it on. You can also layer it over stronger lip colours and it'll just make it less bold so easily. I also gave one away for a giveaway before!

4)

theBalm Batter Up Creaseless Cream Shadow in 'Home Plate Kate'

This is a lovely pink shimmery base that does not crease on me. I used to go to the golden one but that one is drying up a bit more than usual (I need to revive that one) so I decided to use this baby instead. On its own, it's more like a white shimmer with pinkish tones, against my eyelids. I can easily layer it up with a similar colour or any other colour because it's such a good base. It's not too white, not too pink. It just works. On a good day, this doesn't crease on me for at least 12 hours BUT it does tend to rub off on my inner corners! But 12 hours is good, no?

5)

MUA 'Heaven and Earth' Eyeshadow Palette

My go-to palette for now. It has all the colours I need on a day out if I don't want colours. It's also light and small that I can carry it safely in my bag IF I do feel like I'd need to touch up during the day. However, with a good base it'll stay on my lids until I want to remove it! Good, eh? I have made a full review of this palette, here.

6)

TheFaceShop Make Me Star Waterproof Gel Liner in #5 (The Awesome Blue One)

THIS, THIS is my forever favourite holy grail eyeliner (for now anyway). It is absolutely waterproof and lasts all day long (with minimal smudging at the corners of my eyes) and I usually use it on the lower lash-line and leave my upper lash-line eyeliner free. Usually. You can use the smudger at the end to make it into eyeshadow if you want to. I've actually cried with this eyeliner on and it didn't budge, at all. Unfortunately, its counterpart (the brown one) actually broke on me! The tip that is, so that's one downer. It's quite fragile.

7)

Eskinol Papaya Smooth White Facial Deep Cleanser

I ran out of this, obviously. I'm actually trying out the other variants however, I think this is the best one for me. It smells nice, it's not as harsh as the other ones I've tried and I'll definitely repurchase this once I've run out of the others because this one is, by far, my holy grail toner at fading acne scars! Full review here.

8)

The Skin Shop IRIS Derma Solution Whitening Plus Serum

I like using this to hydrate my face on drier days, after my toner, and it does help a lot. It's supposedly a whitening serum that gives you moisture and nutrition. I can definitely say that it does moisturise. As for whitening, it's not that obvious, but it does fade some scars. Not as fast as my Eskinol + moisture gel but it helps. Especially since I ran out of my go-to moisturiser! I'll definitely repurchase this if it's still cheap.

9)

Mario Badescu Drying Cream

I bought this from Luxola, and it arrived just before my KL trip. Does this work to dry up under the surface bumps like it promised? Not sure, I don't think so BUT it does help dry up erupted pimples so fast you'd call your grandma just to rave about it! It is however way too drying even for my oily-combination skin so use it sparingly. Sensitive and dry skin, use it with caution. A little goes a long way and I like it. You can purchase the product here. It's priced at SGD24 but you can get 15% off if it's your first purchase from the site. 

I think it'll last you a long time~ I barely made a dent and I've been using it every night. I'll definitely repurchase should the time comes.

10)

MUA Matte Foundation in Shade 3 'Gentle Fawn'

Matte foundation? No. It's not matte, it's dewy finish at best. However, what I like about it is that it's the perfect colour for my skin-tone AND it does not oxidise on me. The coverage is sheer, but buildable to medium. You can work it well with a concealer if you don't want to build it up too much. I like the sleek packaging and you can control the amount of product well. It does not feel heavy on the skin but it does leave a sticky feeling (just lightly), you can apply powder to mattify and set it. 

The only CON for now? I don't think it contains any SPF but I might be wrong. You can get this product here.

11)

MUA Bronzer in Shade 3

This is the only matte one out of the basic range and it's a lovely shade. Not that orange at all on me and it actually shows up! *I'm looking at you, Etude House, Holika Holika!* I usually use it to contour my nose because I haven't mastered contouring my cheeks. You're also getting a LOT of product out of this and it's only £1! You can get it here.

12) 

sasatinnie Facial Mist Toner in 'Peach'

I use this to set my face makeup. Does it last long? I'm not so sure, but it does give my face the original texture after putting on all that foundation, BB cream or powder on my face. I love the scent and it does help rejuvenate the face. Anti-aging? Not so sure about. Holy grail? Not so much but it'll do for now.

13)

sasatinnie Makeup Remover Wipes in 'Rose'

This is for sensitive skin. I actually bought two of the 'for oily skin' and I haven't used it. I have been using this ever since I bought it, and it works well! There's only 10 sheets though, but it does the job. Maybe even better than my favourite makeup wipes from TheFaceShop! It doesn't sting my eyes at all and I think it definitely removes most of your makeup (but definitely use a facial cleanser too!)

14)

Cyber Colors 24 Hr Eyebrow in 'Gray'

I can't live without this. I just can't. However, the price does get to me. This was recommended to me by a SaSa MY consultant and I really thank her for doing so. I turned to her saying that I needed a waterproof eyebrow pen and dammit, this works. I liked how she also said that I shouldn't use black as it's too harsh. Gray works just fine. This is my go-to eyebrow pen...cil. I will definitely repurchase this but I'm trying out other options first!

15)

BDL Papaya Whitening Hand & Body Lotion

This is the lotion I'm using right now for my body. I love the smell but it can have a weird texture. Sometimes it balls up if it mixes with certain products. I haven't noticed any whitening but for the price and for the quantity, it works. It's 600ml and I bought it for BND4.90? It works for me~ Papaya is love, you know?

16)

Victoria Secret Fragrance Mist in 'Love Spell'

Holy grail fragrance mist. Enough said. I bought a bigger bottle of it recently because it's just that lovely. I tried other scents but I still bought this one because it's just perfect. It's 'me' in a bottle and the best part is that I'm not allergic to it! Yay! Do try it if you ever come across it! It's Cherry Blossoms & Peach scented. But it's more to peach!

17) 

V8 Crystal Repair Serum for Split Ends and Damaged Hair

This is my go-to hair serum nowadays. It smells nice, works well and is absorbed by the hair nicely. However, don't overdo it or it'll make your hair look dry in photos instead lol. It smells like this snack I grew up eating, like 'Ais Krim Panjang' or what's it called? I'm not so sure. I bought it from my uncle's wife (my aunt technically lol) who runs a salon. I would definitely repurchase it once I run out. It's cheaper than the L'oreal Anti-Frizz one!

--

Okay, that's it for my favourites! That was a lot, no? Lol. I'm so sleepy right now.

If there's any product you'd like me to do an in-depth review, just leave it in the comments and I'll try do it!

Out of all of these, I can't live without number 1, 4, 6, 7, 9, 14 and 16!

I think I covered all of my go-to products of the month!

What about you?

Do you have a monthly favourite?

Leave your link or answers in the comments! I'd love to read them!

Take care then!

-Nisah-

EDIT: I just wanna cry. Trying to edit this in HTML resulted in some shitty results and I lost half of my post that took an hour plus to write. Had to do the whole thing again (copy-pasting it from the html at least) so I have a headache now...sigh. I'm a jinx with computers. Definitely.

Perks of March + New Live Cover!

Yes, yes, I know.

The other day I was like 'Eff March!'
And now I'm like Perks of March???

But yeah, I think about how childish I was >_>; I can be childish I guess.
Well, it's hormones okay? I think I have imbalanced hormones D:

It's not my fault my March was ruined last year D:
I'm just afraid this March would suck too, okay??

So yeah, anyway~
I wanted to go to Yayasan last night, my main reason was to go to Holika-Holika and browse for some guitar accessories. Well, that WAS the plan.

But before that, while I was getting ready, Shyla, the cat that owns me decided to molest Macky again :/

Yesh, I was replying MUA.

What's with cats and technology??

"YOU SHALL NOT PASS"

Seriously, she erased my reply to MUA. LOL.

Thank God for Command + Z~ (or something)

Anyway~ I decided to try emulate Marina's makeup for the night~

Primadonna/HTBAH Inspired Look I guess

I decided to draw a beauty mark instead of the heart when I went out but when I decide to record, I painted the heart on my cheek XD

I wore a plaited dress, black tights and a grey....outer clothing of sorts.
Forgot to take a photo, sorry D:
I decided to wear my highest wedged shoes.

Bad choice.

We decided to eat out. I had Korean of course. Harhar.
And a weird looking cinnamon roll.
With Mint Milk Shake? Or something minty.

I dunno the name D: it has some Korean Rice Noodles, gyoza and chicken patties. I do not like the rice texture D: 

This was yummy but I guess too much ice?

For a dollar, not bad :O

The food was gooooood.

XD I didn't throw up for once!

After dinner, I decided to go to The Face Shop.

To get my birthday vouchers and a gift.

Well, unfortunately my name wasn't listed :/ That's why they didn't text me!

But that's okay lol.

I still got my birthday perk!

I bought 2 face masks and a hair serum. For the birthday pack gift, I got two face masks too LOL and a tiny sample of the Rice Cleanser Foam.

So, I migrated to Holika-Holika, greeted Sharon XD and browsed.

Too bad they didn't have the birthday gift ready!

HMPH.

But yeah, I got one gold eyeliner (it's soooo pretty and creamy), one jumbo eye pencil in this beautiful green and two face masks, again LOL. This time I got some samples :p

I gave one facemask to my sis XD

Since we were waiting for my brother and sister, I decided to browse around at Holika Holika while my parents talked with Sharon.

Sharon didn't recognize me D:

She turned to my mom asking where "the daughter who loves makeup was" and I was like, "I'm right here...."

"EHHH?? Really? You look different bah!"

"Dyed your hair kah? Last time your hair was black!"

"You're looking more Korean now."

Which I countered with, "I'm actually aiming for a Japanese look." LOL

But to be honest, my makeup last night wasn't Japanese nor Korean inspired, so yeah.

I'm guessing she referred to the clothes too.

SO YEAH.

When I got home, I fed the cats, and then I proceeded to add the Heart on my cheek...and....

This was the result!

( =A= ) The only part I like is the break XD
But it was fun, recording this.


I never tried recording with Snowball that far from me.
It actually worked out fine.

And yes, despite the extreme reverb >_>;
It IS live lol.

I friggin' forgot to remove the reverb.


But yeah. Now I'm tired.


So yeah, good morning.

Take care!

Swatches of some cream shadows I own will be up later :)

-Nisah-

Happy Forever Alone Day :D

Or rather, as I'd like to call it: "Chocolate Day"

I'm sorry to those I've worried for a few days :x I was a bit reckless and scared.
I hope I'll be fine from now on.
Need to not just hope but be sure of it.

I'm hoping to mail out the prizes this Saturday~ if it all goes to plan.

I kinda hurt my neck from my bad DIY dye job today.

From the front it looks FABULOUS:

From the front. Onleh.

From the back, it's a mix of all disasters.

My mom and sis says it's okay but LIES.

LOL.

I'll just show it because it's funny:

It's like a line of fail.

It's still pretty much orange-brown at the back I think. At the front it's pretty much red. And some parts are actually dyed like hell it actually matches my burgundy wig ( OAO )

I didn't even leave the dye that long this time.

Or maybe that's why it's so uneven.

Btw, this is the cream type of dye, not the foam one.

Nobody wants to help me dye my hair :<

But maybe since I fucked it up so much, my mom might help lol.

Or I shall go to the salon because I really love the colour of this D:

So yeah, did I receive any chocolates today?

Yes.

In fact, I did.

From my dad.

Joy.

Oh, oh!! I found another Calico cat while we're out for dinner before D: it was soooo cute D: and very clean considering it's a stray cat!

Shyni or Fila. Geddit? LOL

What's with me and tri-coloured fur cats D:

They're just so adorable D:

Oh, lol, another funny thing.

I decided to drop by this music store around the area...

I was looking for a nice acoustic guitar for my birthday~

I wanted one with a small body.

So yeah, so the guy in the shop decided to ask me and my sis what we wanted. LOL.

There was an embarrassing moment for me where I actually "eek-ed" when he asked us to go into the room with more expensive stuff.

I thought he asked us to play LOL.

But then I got scared also because I was surrounded by expensive guitars XD

And then I blurted out, "Uh, this isn't what I want" referring to the electric guitars.

"I want an acoustic guitar"

And so he showed us some stuff.

I asked him about the small guitar, it was a classical guitar, with the three nylon strings.

But he said it's not that good lol.

Then he pulled out a better guitar, sat down and played.

Me and my sis were awed until he started singing.

( =A= ) I nearly commented that it was bad LOL.

He asked us if we knew the song, he said it was One Direction. I think it was 'Little Things' but he said it like it was 'One Little Thing' *shrug*

Anyway, I joked to my sis that he serenaded us because I looked cute in my new hair XDDD

"Oh, that's why he sang. It's Valentine's today!!"

I told him I really wanted a small bodied acoustic and he commented, "A small guitar for your small body."

Or something like that.

I'm like what.

LOL

He thought we were gonna buy something but I said I wanted one for my birthday.

I said it's in March.

"Just 15 more days then!" he said.

And then I said "Plus 20"

"Oh so you're born March 20th then?"

And I nodded.

I told him that we'll think about it and left lol.

Was he flirting?
I'm really dense with these things XD

And then after dinner we went to Soon Lee and bought some stuff. By stuff, I mean cat food.

After that we went to Little M and I got my nephew a small Hachune Miku doll.

He's always wanted one.

Ignore why I decided to take a photo of me and the doll.

It's because it's my 500th photo on Instagram :D

Plus my hair looked awesome LOL

Even though I did something stupid last week, I think today wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.

Happy Forever Alone Day!

Or Chocolate Day :D

Actually, I'm writing this 30 minutes into the end of it in my country though!

But who cares!!

Take care, if you're with your loved one, lucky you!

If you're not, it's okay :D dye your hair, clean your room!

Good night!

Cut My Hair :O + Acne Update (Scars BEGONE!!)

It's been really long since I had a haircut ):
I think last time I did, it was in January. Yeah, I remember that it was before going to Skintologist. But then again, I only cut my bangs :s

I have reservations about getting haircuts.
It's a silly reason but I can't cut my hair very short unless I got over him.

Because well, the main reason why I kept it long in the first place was because he wanted me to keep it long. In the end he said I was free to do what I want with my hair but honestly, I like it long now.

But yeah, the ends of my hair were damaged and stuff, plus I wanted to have blunt bangs.

My older sis decided to have a haircut so I went with her :O

This time I specifically I wanted my bangs properly sectioned and stuff. I also didn't mind cutting the ends of my hair. Basically the hairdresser could do as she pleases XD;

What I liked the most were the head massages~~

For the shoulder, it was kinda painful. I have low pain tolerance so yeah~

In the end..the results are~~~

Okay, you can't really see it LOL.

Basically she cut off about 4 inches of damaged ends, thinned it out, cut bangs and shiz.
If my hair was naturally straight, it'd be nice but no, mine is naturally wavy~

And fudging THICK.

I didn't wear makeup out, just sunscreen so I Photowonder-ed this photo up.
Shabbily.

OKAY THEN ;O

Okay, so here's an update on my acne and acne scars~
It's been....let's see....3 weeks since I last saw the doctor and I have used the acne gel 2 times, every day. I'm running out of the gel.

What I've noticed is that it heals my acne that's popped fast but at the same time, it doesn't prevent it.

But at least it's manageable but again, it's not miraculous.

Here's how it looks like now:

*kinda disgusting, so if you don't wanna look at it, look away!!*
EDIT: Made it smaller so I don't scare people.

It's honestly better in real life.

Really!

Well.
It ain't nice, but I've kinda accepted it.

But it'd be even nice if it'd just go away.


I mean, I can't deal with both trying to stop breaking out AND lightening the scars.

It's a bit hard ):

If you have any advice about acne scarring, do tell me!


-Nisah-

It's HERE!!!

....well, 1 out of the 7 or 8 products I'm expecting are here :DDD

My first ever purchase from Sasa(dot)com!!!
It was free shipping time for over USD29 and as a region 1 country (Thank GOD), I can choose expedited shipping!!

I think it takes 2 days to get processed and packed.
I get an e-mail for its dispatch, and then wowza, it arrived in Brunei in 3 days.

THREE EFFIN' DAYS!!!

D: and The Sample Store's sample package (shipped before this box) is not here yet. WHAT GIVES???

Maybe I just got lucky but I got excited as well.
Hurrah hurrah, my second package has been dispatched TODAY.

EEEKKKKK.

Anyway, I had my dad get it for me from the post office.
It had to be expected by customs.
Luckily, no need to pay tax.

But my package was cut ( ;w; )

Pics:

The Styrofoam inside :DD it's in the shape of '3'!!

Separated, interesting!!

The masks, rose water, hair mask and whitening toner.

SkinFood's Honey Red Orange Mask

Eyes & T-zone treatment.

I used three of the 7 products today :)

The SkinFood mask, the treatment pads and the hair mask.

I didn't get to enjoy the hair mask for too long since it was late but I love the Honey Red Orange Mask and the Lemon Treatment thing :)

I'll post extra pics tomorrow but for now, I'm so tired.
I got sick ): it's the weather probably.

I can't get over how cute the SkinFood mask is!! And the Lemon treatment pads. UGGHHH SO CUTE.
I accidentally ordered the same thing on my second order but now, I don't think I regret it ;3

Everything happens for a reason XDD


okay, sleep.
I hope my packages arrive soon again ;3

g'night!!
