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.

-Nisah-

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

Favourite Couple ;D

PrizeMail, Dinner Out and theBalm Replica/Fake Makeup??

So today I got one of the post office cards to get your packages.
I got excited. I thought my soaps from SoapyLuv arrived.

But it's not it :( I think the soaps will come this week. Hopefully.
Instead, I got my prizes from a recent Youtube giveaway.

So I went to get it with my sister. I actually forgot about how to get the things. I was sick too, still so my stuffy nose makes it difficult for me to speak or hear clearly.

I actually made a video. A rather awkward one because she asked if I would do a prize mail opening video :) and I was fine with it. I just dislike the fact that my voice sounded so nasally.

I'm quite excited about the nail art kit the most.

Here's a pic of the prizes:

Thank you for this, SakuraNailArts!

In other news, I had dinner out at Grazie Mauri the day before yesterday.

Chilled Cranberry Juice

 It's just boxed juice unfortunately, lol. I asked.

Pizza di Salumi?

 My sis ordered this one, she likes it very much I guess.
As for me, I love the one in this pic:

I forgot the name but basically it's blue cheese and some veggies.

 For my main dish, I ordered a beef fillet with mushroom sauce. It comes with veggies and potatoes. I asked for medium.

Looks yummy.

It came medium...or was it rare? LOL Didn't care.

 Unfortunately, the beef wasn't seasoned so it was bland and chewy. It actually hurt my teeth.
I brought it home, salted it, cooked it again with the sauce and BAM, tastes a whole lot better.

They need to somehow cook the sauce with the beef itself :/ so the flavours mix. Well, that's my own view on it anyway.

And then I had dessert.
I think for this dessert, my friends like it.

For me, it was just okay.
I can make something similar to this and it tastes even better.
Seriously.

But I do like the addition of the strawberries and the vanilla ice cream.

It wasn't as delectable as I expected it to be I guess.
High expectations met with mediocre results.

Fantasia di Maria

 But then again, I was sick that day.

Maybe it's my tastebuds BUT I could taste the pizza perfectly.

Anyway, I had my long lost froyo soulmate ( ;w; )
Mochi!!

Butterscotch with strawberry mochi and kitkat bits.

It was nice. The hint of butterscotch flavour and the sourness of the yogurt really comes through.
Unlike Tutti Frutti which really tastes like ice cream.

I should become a food critic.
Like, totally.

I wish I had the gall to actually comment to the chefs.
#NoBravery

I went to Citis Square to visit the art exhibition by UBD students a.k.a some of my friends.
It was the last day.

I was underwhelmed when yeah, some of the works are just form 6 standard.
I guess it's not much of a loss if I don't take art as a major.

MAN, I wanna go abroad D:

Look of the day. Yesterday.

 My sis complains when I braid my hair.
Too childish??

I just used concealer + SPF-ed moisturizer.
No powder.

Today I went out without makeup.
Couldn't care less.

Just packed on sunscreen.

I ordered these but I ended up not eating them.

I've been losing appetite recently.

I guess it's because I'm sick.

I've been sick for a long time.

Longer than usual. It annoys me to no end.

Oh yeah, got this. No, actually, mom got me this.

I thought it was BND$16 something at first...turned out to be BND$23.

I just hate it when they don't label products properly at Guardian. I felt really bad to buy this actually.

Might as well label the price ON the product. Sheesh.

KP, go away!!

Yes, I have KP.

I applied this last night and I think it worked a bit.

Slowly.

I also had my sister paint my nails last night.

Yes, I'm holding a banana.

It looked pretty against my pink nails.

Got banana?

I HATED the nailpolishes.
I don't know why but it dries so slow.

And the white one from Etude House.

I don't recommend it to act as a base.
It's just impossible to work with.

OH YEAH.

I found out that theBalm Cosmetics has been replicated!!

Say what??

This bothers me because I haven't got my replacement from SaSa Malaysia.
And paranoia says DOUBLE CHECK it next time.

Just in case.
>_>; it hasn't arrived so it's not in stock yet.

But I do know that SaSa has been selling replica brushes that look like EcoTools too so...

Well, I doubt they would break the trust of the company (theBalm) by doing so but anything can happen. Thought theBalm never contacted me back when I emailed them. Phooey.

Hm.
In other words, I'm just worried.

But I'm also tempted to check the quality.
Maybe it'll pop out somewhere, someone getting this.

People do say some of the replica makeup are actually quite good.
Plus, if they actually say it's replica, it's up to the buyer to buy it or not, right?

Safer than eBay which sells replica makeup most of the time but people claim it to be real.

As for me, will I ever buy replica makeup?

If it looks cute.
LOL. Cute wins me over.

But in all honestly, theBalm Nude'Tude palette that I have is all buttery soft. And no, I didn't use it because I'm supposed to get a replacement.
I just cleaned the palette before SaSa Malaysia contacted me back.

It was so dirty :/

They also have Shady Lady Vol.3
I wonder if Meet Matt(e) will be next?

Who knows.
Just be careful when you buy theBalm palettes online next time!
Okay?

Okay.

I'm dizzy now.

Take care!!

-Nisah-

I Got Mail!!

Yep, I got three packages in the same day :)

It was exciting since I've been down recently.

Like, very down.

Two prize mails arrived and my order from BeautyJoint arrived :)

The order was packaged very securely, it was so hard to take it out from the bubble wrap XD I guess that's a good thing. They arrived safely :O did I waste my money for the insurance? lol. I'm planning on ordering something else (next time) from the same site.

Unless I can get better deals elsewhere.

I wish e.l.f offers shipping abroad ):

Prize Mails and Order :O

The first one is from a Youtuber. This is her channel :)

She is very nice ( ^^ ) corresponding with me, making sure it arrives to Brunei safely. And it did!!!

It's a very soft brush.

Can't wait to use it with my mineral powder!

It's quite big. I hope it fits my brush case :)

e.l.f Mineral Powder Brush

These are the two things I ordered from BeautyJoint :D
Really liked the jumbo eyeliner. I really think it's quite effective in making the eyeshadow more vibrant. Due to its sticky texture, it really helps.

I don't think it creased on me when I did a test but then that was only 4 hours.
I'll try again next time to see :)

I wouldn't mind ordering more of it!! I DO need to get a sharpener for it though.

As for the eyelid primer, it's only 5ml and I'm like....what. Seriously?
But I guess you wouldn't need much of it.

I used it on one eye and I think it also prevented creasing but again, I only tested it for 4 hours.
As for vibrancy of the shadows, I think I'd need to use a more vibrant colour to test that.

L.A Colors Jumbo Pencil and e.l.f Eyelid Primer

e.l.f Eyelid Primer in Sheer

Jumbo Pencil in Sea Shells

The ingredients.

It's cruelty free :)

 Other than that, the prize mail from Sasa(dot)com arrived.
There's four samples, two each of the same samples.

It's SkinPeptoxyl Fade Away Cleanser and Neutralizing Toner.

So far, I really like it, but I'm trying to stick to my AC White Clinic regimen.
It's quite natural from what the ingredients say and that really appeals to me.

It's more natural than the AC White Clinic Bubble Cleanser I guess.

Unfortunately, one of the cleansers leaked.
I think 1-2ml of the 5ml sample is gone ):

But it's okay.

SkinPeptoxyl :)

Simple Ingredients.

Apparently it's available in SaSa Malaysia. If the prices are nice and reasonable, I'd buy it.
But I'm just saying this prematurely because it didn't dry me out.

But again, this is just my first impressions.


Overall, I'm really happy with the mail packages I got :)

LOL.

For once, yes.

God, I'm very dizzy right now. I got sick ):

I really should go see a doctor. Sigh.

Okay.

'til then!

-Nisah-

Outing with Friends and Look What Arrived!!

Today I went out with my friends, you know, just to catch up kind of thing. We didn't do much catching up, but a revelation for the worst was brought to my attention and I tried my best to not be affected by it. Even though it hurts me inside a lot. All I can do is pray ):

I woke up late today and I had less than an hour to get ready before my friend picked me up. I stupidly decided to wear my clear contacts because I know, if I don't, it'll be a waste!!!

My hair looked awesome at first but as the day goes by, it went horrible LOL.

Here's an instagram pic of me after I got ready:

I look pained from the lenses here.

And "genki"er here LOL

Anyway, I first ate at The Colony. That place is bittersweet to me now, but Goddammit they serve the best Chicken Avocado Foccacia ever!! Sure, eating that reminds me of him but it still filled me up well. Farah had the red velvet. And then we talked, while waiting for our other friend.

Then we went to Coffee Bean so that Carmen could have her cupcake/muffin and caramel.....frappucino? LOL. Cannot recall it.

We had more talks and stuff there, and I felt sleepy but it was hard because of the lenses.
Somehow, I always keep forgetting to take pics of friends. Damn.

Not a picture person anyway. Even when I was with my ex, taking pics were the last thing on our mind. Dunno if that's a blessing or a curse.

I went to buy some e.l.f stuff after that at Paloma.
Just randomly picked some things. I'm pretty sure they were old stock but meh.

I hope the zit zapper works at least. It smells like my Etude House Pink Spot Powder. I think it's the camphor.

Forgot to add I wore this and my aquamarine bracelet out. It looked good with my outfit wtf.

My mom got that for me, randomly. It's a Lapis Lazuli and it's quite pretty and fashionable, weirdly. I despise the fact that it's blue...because the ex loves blue. Somehow I'm being tossed blue things recently from mom. That included a bra. I'm not a fan of blue but for accessories, I don't mind. And undergarments, I also don't mind :x

Made this the other day, Gnocchi a la Antam. It's peeled tomatoes and some tuna. Then I added some flavours, some herbs and stuff. Might make some tomorrow too.

Wrote this for Versatility. I should charge them extra coz the ex is there and he's being mean. I joke. But seriously.

Oh, that brings me to one embarrassing fact.

I made a "fanpage" of myself.
Or rather, for my work in singer/songwriting, drawing and writing.

https://www.facebook.com/OfficialNiSA

I'd appreciate a like, but then it's not for my blog wtf.

Are people even reading the crap I write here?
LOL

Ah well, it's more like therapy for me.

Oh yeah, lookie here.
It arrived :DD

The Dolly Wink....retractable eyeliner? I dunno what you call it. But I've never seen this before :O
And apparently it's limited edition? Boy, do I feel special LOL

Can't wait to try it out!! My first Dolly Wink product!!

Tsubasa looks very awesome here :D

Awww, a note :) last time there was no note. How nice.

Oh yeah, I went to survey TheFaceShop and Holika Holika today. Might get something from them next time :) and I saw that The Face Shop had matte eyeshadows!!! LIKE WTF.

:OOO interesting. But none of the shops had translucent powder. Wtf.

I also ranted about Tony Moly while at TheFaceShop. I should post the rant next time. It's not that bad, it's more to pricing and product quantity. I mean, TheFaceShop (and apparently Holika Holika) is known for the volume of the products (to me, anyway) and like, it's...just not worth it. Some products. Personally, okay?

I like things big. That includes the product.

Ah well.

I need to try and sleep earlier. Been sleeping at 3 nowadays. This happened before, with two reasons: thinking about my ex 'til I get worried sick OR there's a ghost/spirit around bothering me again.

Yes, again.

Sigh.

I wish they'd just leave me alone ):

Anyway, good night :DD

-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!!

Gift :D

Finally, after a month, it has arrived!!
My Sasatinnie Super Dolly Powerful Curling Mascara!!!

It actually arrived yesterday :)

Here are some photos:

0 Value. Well put, SaSa!

This will be just a short review for now lol.

I used it today for a bit, I was quite surprised really.
Especially at how good it is at holding curls!
Until it was annoying enough, it poked my browbone if that makes any sense.

I couldn't take a very good photo of it, unfortunately.

It's messy upon application but it's nothing a cottonbud can't fix!!!

I'll make an in-depth review maybe tomorrow or so. Whenever I can get my sister to help me take photos!
One thing I already dislike is the smell of it. Major dislike.

But as for holding curls, I think it does it job well. So far.
From a first impression anyway.


Tomorrow then!

'til then!

-Nisah-
