My New Hair + Mini Haul + Giveaway Winner

I procrastinated so much with writing this LOL.
I actually forgot when I cut my hair.

Well, I hated how it looked (when my sister just butchered it) so I decided that I wanted to have it evened out and stuff.

Before the haircut.
I mean, just look at that mess :/

I went to the hair salon I always go to when I'm on a budget LOL.

I've only ever done any expensive haircut and something else twice ever. I always go for the cheaper option XD I mean, hair is hair.

And I have bad hair LOL.

Anyway, I went for the wash+cut+treatment.

It all cost BND25 :D

I look bloated ): Been bloated for a while yaw.
This was during the steam treatment.

It took maybe an hour plus for everything to be done.

At first she cut it with a symmetrical bob in mind.

Layered back, with the hair longer in the front.

Both were meant to be long, even mom liked it BUT I decided to make it an asymmetrical bob because I've always wanted one!

Ohai.

It looks fine lol. But dad was like "Did they accidentally do that??"

I know that I have to style my hair more lol but eh.

This was after a shower.
Looks tolerable lol.

You know how you expect your hair to be that exact same style when you're out of the shower?

Not always the case.

Looked fine. I used some anti-frizz serum.

Then, half an hour later~

Hair's like "NO WAY AM I GONNA LOSE TO THAT SERUM!"

But eh, I don't care.

I should have blow dried it LOL.

At the end of the day...

I didn't bother re-applying my lip gloss and stuff.

Makeup held on pretty well actually.

The face makeup at least.

Story of my hair :x

Anyway, gonna insert a mini haul from Guardian and something I got from The Philippines~

I decided to try out these masks when Nio mentioned them on FB.
They were on sale (for a bit) so I thought it was the perfect time to try them out.

I'm told that they sell these at Paloma.
I've seen them but never bought them. Didn't know they were the same LOL.

Assorted Masks from Montagne Jeunesse.
I used the chocolate one tonight.

If I like them, I might stock up on them.

Unfortunately this is a bit hard to squeeze out of the pack.

Is it just me?

From The Philippines, my maid bought me these :D
I asked for them though LOL.

She's such a sweetheart, getting me the bigger sized bottle when I just asked for the small one.

Body Recipe and Hortaleza, MD products.
I wanna use them to fade discolouration and scars.

Let's see if the Perfecting Cream will help with acne scars :D

Okay then, I need to wash off the chocolate mask off of my face!

'til then, take care!!

P.S: I already chose a winner for my Asteria Bracelet giveaway~ You have to wait for AmisQue to announce it on her Instagram to know if you won or not :D It was randomized btw :)

eBay Seller Review: f2plus1

Hi, everyone!
How's everyone doing?

It's May, can you believe it? Time flies by so fast~

Anyway, I was thinking of maybe making reviews on online sites or eBay sellers I've ordered from...but then again, everyone would have different experiences, right?

I should have done this before, lol, but yeah, maybe I should start doing so from now on!

Anyway, I ordered some items from this seller, f2plus1!
I ordered two items:

Etude House Sweet Recipe Baby Choux in Peach Choux and Tony Moly Latte Art Milk Cacao Pore Pack !

As per usual with Korean sellers, some sell it cheap, some sell it slightly more expensive BUT what I love most about them is that their shipping is almost always free!

This was also the first time I bought from their shop properly (you know, where you put things in carts) because apparently you can get extra bonuses or something (I forgot haha) but well, you'll just see from photos.

I've ordered from Korean eBay sellers a few times, maybe 3-4 times I think and I'm always amazed how they pack everything well, in a brown box and this time, it's no different!

Btw, I asked them to mark my item as "gift", just to see if they would LOL.
And they did.

But then again, I think most sellers would do this?

And here's my package!

Well, kinda.

Just tossed it all back in for the photo.

I rarely get to open my packages myself at the customs because my dad picks it up for me.

So I dunno how it was packaged but nothing came broken, in fact, the boxes were perfection :D I love my boxes!

My dad also told me the customs thought I ordered chocolate.
...I'm not that desperate to order food online D:

When I first got it from my dad, I smiled seeing the number of samples I got XD Then I saw the cuteness and the tiny-ness of the items.

You know, I just realised something.

I always somehow order things in twos! I never noticed that.

Anyway~

FOOD BASED SKINCARE OVERLOAD!!

Well, kinda. It's more like food-themed makeup/skincare overload XD

These two were in my wishlist :D

....in my head I think.

The Sweet Recipe Line's not in Brunei yet and it seems like Peach isn't coming out here :O I hope I'm wrong.

I'm not sure of the price in Brunei yet though.

The mask though, I think it was BND21.90? Correct me if I'm wrong.

And wheee :D

Samples I got!

There's 7!! That's a lot more than usual. LOL usually I get 4 :D from two items so whee!

I'm so excited for these items and some of the samples :)

I can't wait to try the Choux Base and the mask!

So, my verdict?

Pros:

- Seller ships a day after payment (Made the order on the 10th, shipped on the 11th of April)

- Items arrived safely (packed nicely in a sturdy box)

- Shipping didn't take long (17 days + A few days marinating in the Post Office)

- Generous amount of samples (7 instead of the usual 4 for two items)

- Items as described (yep, yep)

- Prices are reasonable (all you gotta do is compare and compare)

Cons:

- I paid extra 2 dollars for tracking BUT the tracking didn't work D: (Cannot track in Korea, cannot track when it arrived in Brunei also! So basically what's the use??)

- Some items in the store might not be as cheap. (Especially if you wanna order from just one shop)

So, do I recommend this seller? Yes!
Would I purchase again from this seller? Yes!

Have you ever ordered anything from this seller?
How was your experience? Do share!

*All items were purchased with my own money and I found the seller after some comparing :D*

Take care, everyone!

Last Sunday's LOTD and A Mini Haul

I went out on Sunday, and I rarely go out.
I wanted to actually check out Tony Moly's "Secret" promo. It wasn't that much. I didn't buy anything from them because my lil' sis was there to be my conscience LOL.

It was funny because while in the car, I was actually telling her that I learnt from a blogger that "If the discount is just 10%, it's not worth it. Don't bother." And well, Tony Moly had only member discount that time, which was 10%. LOL. I really don't listen to myself. They also have that HSBC discount but I don't get that.

So yeah, dad dropped us off at Airport Mall, then we walked to Times Square.

What I was wearing that day a.k.a Outfit of the Day/Night:

A girly look I guess?

I was wearing a white v-neck cotton shirt from Uniqlo I bought back in 2008 in Japan. Wow, that thing lasts long! XD It's still comfy, and I've worn it when I was fattest so it might be a bit loose? The peach/orange loose knit/lace thing is from Brands Outlet~ The skirt I kinda hiked up a bit because it was too long, that actually was from Labuan a LONG time ago. I've only started wearing it recently. It's actually an office skirt. I dunno what I was thinking back then, it was in 2004. I was only 13 then! Then I wore leggings. I wore my favourite shoes and the bag was from my sis' stash lol.

I GAINED WEIGHT D: NOOOOO.

My makeup and hair that day.

I also had my favourite lapis lazuli necklace :D See? Told you it goes with everything!

I had my hair in bubble style, I've only worn this out one other time back in 2011.

Hmph.

Unfortunately at the end, while still at Airport Mall, most of my hair-ties died on me. One by one D: I just gave up and undid everything when I went to Hua Ho Mall. It was fun while it lasted!

Under natural sunlight. I DO NOT LIKE MY BROWS.

Unfortunately my red dye has died.

Uguuu.

It's still light coloured but no longer red D:

I loved my red hair. DAMMIT.

Anyway~

We didn't manage to go to places much, because I had to meet up with someone around 7.30pm, WHICH my dad forgot about >_>; Sigh.

I managed to go to only TheFaceShop and buy some stuff from there. I had the vouchers from my birthday, I thought it was a waste to not use it...

So I bought these things!

Three things for BND30+ (even after discounts ._. )

Out of three of these, one of them is a real impulse buy.

One of them I really need.

Then the other was just curiosity.

Can you guess?

Here it is in the order:

Friggin Impulse Buy. BUY ME.

This is TFS Crystal Collection Nail Polish in BL601 (BND12.90)

It was love at first swatch D:

I normally don't buy expensive nail polish because I don't wear them everyday...

But my sis just HAD to swatch it on my finger.

I fell in love.

Since it's the time of the month this week, I decided to get it. So I can paint my nails and admire them. LOL.

After discount it was BND10.32. I do not approve :x

It was also the last one on the rack (for Times Square anyway)

The swatched nail is holding on well. No chipping, still going strong. Very prettily. I didn't even put top coat. I'll paint all my nails later.

I'm running out of the other item D:

I got this because it wasn't that pricey...well, no, actually it was. But then again, every item at TFS is kinda expensive D: WHY. This was priced at BND10.90. It was BND8.72 after discount.

After buying it, I had my fears that it might just not work that well. I have a DAISO one that I hate because of the smell. But I'm running out of it. And it doesn't work that well D:

But now that I read reviews...I'm scared this might not work on me D:

Some people said that the DAISO one works wonders compared to this. SO, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???

Unfortunately, TFS' policy = GOODS SOLD ARE NOT RETURNABLE.

Makes me wonder if they do refunds though LOL.

I'll just try it though and hope it's good.

Are you any better?

I have many mild exfoliants. Well, actually I have two. Both from SkinFood.

This is my third one. I was attracted to it because it's Papaya. I mean, papaya usually works.

I hope you're good. You cost me BND13.45 after discount. Normal price is BND26.90.

Of all the items, I'm pretty excited for the nail polish! 

I'm gonna have pretty nails for a week.

I also got my Mey Rin wig on that day :D

I ordered it through a friend.

My first proper cosplay wig.

I'm so excited :D

This would be my first proper cosplay ever!

Hopefully.

I need to make/buy the costume. I'm sewing out a draft dress and I'm stuck at the sleeves.

It's more deep magenta in real life.

I need to cut the bangs D:

But I like it like this...

I'm so in love with this hairstyle D:

Or maybe it's the colour?

I love the short hairstyle so much I might just cut it like this in May.

I'm done with my long thick hair!

I'm so tired of it.

Plus it reminds me of someone I rather not remember anyway.

I really, really want this hair :O

But then I'll have to style it more :/

But yeah.

So that's my mini haul, and stuff.

I'm so sleepy.

I started exercising again *coughdancingcough* and I'm gonna eat better.

I should really start fixing my sleeping pattern if I wanna lose weight though.

So yeah, take care!

Do check out my recent reviews!

Have a great day!

Love For Soap + Food Pics + Woah...

So yeah, long time no blog. I've been procrastinating, unfortunately.
I've had lots of ideas on what to blog about but, I just didn't feel like blogging. Plus, the internet just sucks nowadays D:

My sis came back from the UK yesterday, and that meanssssssss.....SOAP.
And this hair thing she got me. Supposedly, it'll make my hair more volume-y. Well, if I feel like cosplaying Adele, I might use it LOL.

LUSH :D Inside it is....

Porridge

Honey I Washed The Kids

 To be fair, these are leftovers XD Well, she cured them long enough. She didn't use it of course. I know I love Porridge, and now I get to try HIWTK!!! It smells so nice. Not as honey-like as I imagined but then she put both soaps together, so yeah, the smell might have changed lol.

She got my older sister and my bro-in-law Sea Vegetable. I wonder if I can ask for a sample ;P

I'm still waiting for my order from SoapyLuv. XD I hope it doesn't melt during transit!!!
Ordered six soaps so... :O

She also got me these!! *blurred photo, so sorry*
I love this soap :) it just fits the hand and has enough exfoliating/massaging feel on it.

I'd love to give one...to...him...but that's impossible LOL.

Chocomania Heart Soaps!

 This is Bumpits?
LOL.

Such a cute packaging!!

Still cute inside~

Covered in pink paper, is this!!

I tried it on my head, it does stick very nicely!! Looking forward to using this. One of these days.

So, I'm sure you know how much I love bar soaps/handmade soaps right now right?
Yeah. It's enough to get me on cloud nine actually :)

My brother told me my skin looked better last night. Oh really? LOL.
I hope so ):

I started using my HadaLabo Tamagohada Cleanser again. So far, it's not so harsh on my skin as last time I guess. It has AHA+BHA. I just need to remember to use sunscreen. Right now, what I'm using is the cleanser, C+M's Whitening Toning Lotion, the T3 Mycin Gel and then I change moisturizers every now and then. Though right now, I'm using the AC Clinic White Trouble Essencializer. The smell is not as offensive as before lol.

I'll see if it has a good effect on my skin. Yeah?

My brother told me to use OXY Cover as concealer but it stinksssss. Sigh.

I had a feeling my SkinFood Rice Concealer Tip is well, bacteria-filled D: so I froze it. That's the only way I can control the bacteria I think because I noticed I've been breaking out more on the places I concealed. I guess.

I hope that'd kill them.

Oh yeah, FOOD PIC DUMP!!!

The other day I went to Excapade with my family :)
Shared this with my mom :O

Salmon Head. Scary but yummy.

 And this is for me :)

Chirashi Don

 After this overload of raw food, I decided to lay off the raw next time.
It was good but not as good as just one raw fish.

This also has egg (that's cooked) but I wasn't a fan of it. One of the reasons is that it SMELLED. I dunno if it's the fish or the bowl itself. Or the rice. It just tasted kind of OFF. Like...it went bad.

It bothered me but I finished it anyway.

Somehow I've been having bad tummy aches until today :O

I also made No-Recipe Lasagna!
We only used two cheeses, no meat, just spaghetti sauce and lots of onions and some garlic LOL. We also made last minute white sauce.

It tastes nice.

Oily from the cheese D:

Reminds me of Pizza Hut's, without the meat.

 The other day, I went on a movie date with my besties from MS.
We watched Snow White and the Huntsman and The Avengers.

I KNOW. Late on The Avengers thing but hey, apparently, I wouldn't mind watching it five times like my friend did. The friend who was watching with me said it's her third time watching and she still won't mind watching it again.

I was fangirling Captain America and Bruce Banner.
I really need to watch the Captain America movie now >_<;

As for Snow White...all I have to say is WHY BELLA. WHY.
It's so hard for me to refrain from making references on Twilight. Made my friends laugh because of it BUT....Charlize Theron did a gooooood job :D

So did Thor---I mean, the Huntsman.

This is what I had before the movie LOL.

HOT POINT!!

Sea Honey Coconut!

Mix, Mix, Mix!!

 Refreshing dessert (or in my case, appetizer) for a hot day!

Veggie Baked Rice! They had too much onion on that day. DO NOT WANT!!

 LOL call me random but here're pics of the chocolate I ate yesterday..
Thornton's!

Orange....zest...thingy.

OOOOH.

AAAAH.

WOOOO.

SEXY.

It was good. LOL.
I gave half to my younger sis.

Oh yeah, I also tried the Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask from The Body Shop last night. It was my sister's.

My skin liked it :O I wonder how much they sell it here.
It dries fast though.

I have reservations about The Body Shop products now lol due to my bad allergy to one body mist.. but if maybe the masks they have suit me, I might just chuck out some money on them lol.

Oh yeah, I saw on my Facebook feed today that Urban Decay decided to sell products to China? Well, I think they'll lose more customers that way. Loyal ones too. Why they did it? To me, it was irrelevant and for money, no matter how much they try to sugarcoat it ):

I haven't even tried their products but it just seems....off.

Ah well.

OH AND LOOKIE AT MY LUNCH!!

Hoopa from Hommed Baga!

YUM.

OKAY THEN.

See you! Have a nice day!!

-Nisah-

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait. Oh, and Partial Karma.

With a title like that you'd think it'd be a dramatic post? Oh no.

LOL. Guess what?
Most of the things I ordered are already here :)
I think I'm waiting for only one more order and then, the rest are just prizes maybe.

Which brings me to sad revelation.

Wrong Prize Mail D:

I'm grateful for this as it's still my first giveaway that I won, but apparently she mis-shipped the prizes.
It's quite unfortunate because I was looking forward to the neutral quad because I love neutrals.
She wrote on the parcel "Makeup Palette" and I doubt the Revlon one is a makeup palette :O

I didn't even join the contest for the prize that was accidentally sent to me, because I knew the colours wouldn't suit me lol;

I'd message the person who might have gotten mine but what's the point? My prizes arrived like 3 months later? So yeah.

I did message the person who sent this to me but yeah, she hasn't replied. I don't feel like I should use this since it wasn't meant for me. I wish she'd reply ):

But interestingly enough, I've never used either brand so that's good too :)

If she'd reply I'd update here.
But I think part of this accidental exchange is karma but I'm not gonna elaborate LOL

But guess what other things arrived :DD

In one day, three of my packages reached me. Happy, happy me!!
(That included the prize mail, which I didn't recognize at all lol)

*and no, I'm not affiliated with the company nor was I sent any of these. I WISH LOL*

Sigma Cleansing & Polishing Tool

Sigma Spa Solutions Kit

Pink Goodness!!

Free brush that came with it. It's an eyeliner brush and it fits in my traveling kit :DD

 OMG Sigma didn't take that long to arrive and it was First Class Mail also D: I think it was less than 2 months, or maybe  even less than a month. Not sure lol.

As for the things itself, the regular brushes that came with it are kinda scratchy, not gonna lie. But it's good that I got the Spa Solutions Kit also, since the massager is fun to use :D

On the same day, my package from Korea arrived!!
From eBay.

Got the Acorn Jelly Mask (so far, the only SkinFood mask that my skin truly likes lol) AND IT CAME WITH A SPOON!!! wtf so happy about that. Why? Because SaSa left that out when I ordered the Red Orange Mask thingy. Or whatever it's called.

I also ordered the Peach Sake BB Cream in shade 2. I facepalmed myself.

I know I was curious about it, if it matched my skin tone more or not but basically on me, it wasn't that good, the shade 1 I mean. LOL. I only got it because it was waaaaay cheaper than when you buy here. I mean, it's like BND$23 here??

But then I got nice samples to try out :)
And that included the new Lemon BB Cream, forgot what it's called but it oxidized to my skin colour :DD without making me look too pale!!

But it's not that long lasting I guess but I'm liking it.

Just an FYI, it's not in Brunei yet.

But I did try swatching the other BB Creams at SkinFood. They were really expensive lol. The Red Bean matched my skin tone well and it had two shades available. Do take note.

But the Mushroom and the Aloe Vera, and also the Agave Cactus I think. It was limited to shade 1 only (as in shade 2 isn't in stock, fyi). I liked the Aloe and the Red Bean, the Agave Cactus one was very thick and hard to blend and had a pink undertone to it.

Funny story, because I kept asking if they had the darker shade, the SA pointed out that I was light but then I said I was wearing the Afternoon Tea Lemon BB Cream lol. But it did lighten my face to my neck colour which was nice.

But I received the sample for the Agave Cactus from this seller so I might try it out, yes :)

It came safe. Thank God.

The look when I went out to get my cousin's wig.

I honestly really liked the Afternoon Tea BB Cream in Lemon Rose (I should double check it) so I might just get them next time, online maybe. LOL. Try the other ones :) maybe they're even better :O

Because I liked how they turned to my skin colour.

Why oh why didn't the Peach Sake one turn into it D:<

AND FINALLY. It arrived tonight :O

Woah. I didn't know they were gonna send it home!!

I was ready to pay tax too!!

The famed PMD

 It's smaller than I thought LMAO.

4 days from America? Nice, no? lol

Honestly there was only one option for shipping internationally and I guess it was worth it :D
Now, to watch the DVD and send the warranty card!!

Okay, 'til then!!

Have a great night :D Sweet dreams!!

-Nisah-

P.S: I knowwwww instagram photos :DDD but they look oh so pretty-ful!!
