De-Stressing Haul (The Body Shop, Catrice, etc.)

I don't remember the last time I shopped, I think I got a lipgloss from Etude but that's about it? Oh, and an applicator. I don't even keep track of what I buy anymore. I've focused all my money on the cats.

Either cat food or my food.

I'm going through all my makeup stuff, slowly. BUT there's this habit I still can't let go.

Buying new foundation or BB Cream even though I don't need it.

I've been stressed for almost two weeks now, not due to exams actually, but it's due to my horrible mood swings. I've been weepy, sad, and angry.

It made me want to get something.

But well, yesterday I did go out. I haven't gone out (other than the clinic and restaurant) in a while.

I rely a lot on the mister that it feels weird going out with family.

It feels naked.

ANYWAY.

I did not plan two things.

Can you guess what it is?

1. The Body Shop "Tea Tree Squeaky-Clean Scrub" (BND19.90)

- Not planned at all. I did ask the SA about what product is good for removing blackheads and clogged pores. She recommended this. I told her I didn't need a new cleanser but she said this is specifically just for scrubbing. I wasn't sure at first but I did try it on my hand, and I liked it. I used it yesterday and so far, I do like it. It stings a bit around the eyes, well the scent does.

2. The Body Shop "Vineyard Peach Body Butter" (BND24.90)

- I've been wanting a body butter for a while because my moisturisers just don't cut it. This is EXPENSIVE ( ;-; ) but I bit my tongue and got this. I was debating between four scents: this, the new raspberry, blueberry and a permanent lychee one. I LOVE peaches, so I got this. I'm so obsessed with the new matte packaging and the scents that I kinda want the rest now. It's on my wish list lol.

3. Catrice "All Matt Plus Shine Control Make Up" (BND9.90)

- I don't know why I got this but I did. I was thinking about it, looked up reviews and whatnot. I'm just so disappointed in the Revlon Colorstay oxidising on me that I need to find something else. I might just sell that one on a blogsale :/ I got this in the shade 030 Warm Beige. I would be so angry if this oxidises too.

4. Ibu Putih Strawberry (BND15)

- I've been wanting to try the Nina Skincare one, but I like the smell of strawberries, so I figured why not try this one first. Comparing pictures and all that, I think this is the original one. 

With some discounts...it all totalled to: BND63.72

*dies*

I need a job.

Do you wanna buy my paintings? ( ;-; )

I have cats to feed too.

Have you tried any of these products?

'til then, take care!

My Belated Birthday Haul

I turned 23 on the 20th of March, so it's been nearly a month.
It was a lovely day.

With me, I think I spent a lot of money on myself, there are also other gifts of course :D
I think I overspent...I also bought a new storage thing from Home Star recently...the Ikea stuff there is overpriced of course. Sigh. I need to build it too.

Then I'll be able to organise my makeup and brushes and all that jazz and I'll be able to share my collection? I think at this rate, if I get better at applying makeup on other people, I'll be able to use up all my eyeshadows...I'm out of control with my palettes.

( '_' ) you'll see what I mean.

Anyway, let's see what I got myself first~

I broke my no-buy because of this, and I really broke it!

- Benefit Little Love Potions

- Etude House Oh~ m'Eye Line

- Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Cotton Fit #W24 Honey Beige

- Holika Holika I Want Chu♥ Lip Balm

- Tony Moly I'm Real Tomato Mask Sheet

- Tony Moly Lemon D-Tok Body Gel

- Tonly Moly Baby Doll BB Makeup Base in Green

- Catrice Prime and Fine Eyeshadow Base

- Catrice Camouflage Cream 003 Rosy Beige

Wanting to try Benefit products, I went ahead and bought this limited edition set from someone on Facebook. It was from the holiday collection last year, and it's out of production.

I do not plan on using all of them, so I'll be selling some stuff from this set. A friend already booked them, but hasn't taken them yet lol.

The rest are really not planned, except for the makeup base and the camouflage cream.

I also ordered some things online.

Whee :D

I ordered some brushes, some beauty blender dupes and a mixing palette. I also decided to buy some sample jars.

I received some presents :)

From someone important :)

My family also got me gifts, mainly from the US

My dad got me an iPod Touch, it's only about 10 dollars cheaper than in Brunei though. Damn.

My elder sister (who just gave birth yay :D) gave me a Lorac Unzipped. 

I gave her a list of items and she got to choose what to give XD

This palette was bought BEFORE I found out about Makeup Revolution's Iconic 3 though. 

I'm not sure when I'll use this now :/ it's so pretty though!

I asked for the Real Techniques as presents before I found out my dad was getting me the iPod Touch, so I offered to pay for them myself. Turns out that my mom bought them for me, although she kept saying that they're of little value (and I'm like what). Maybe in comparison to what my dad got me I guess.

To be honest though, I wouldn't know what else to ask for from her :O

I'm truly blessed, and I've indulged myself way too much. Way too unhealthily so.

And I gained weight.

Curses.

LOL.

I cannot wait until I can have my own makeup storage system :D JOY!

Well, I do have exams coming up ;-;

'til then, take care :D

April Collective Haul + Mini Reviews/First Impressions

Hey guys :D
First post in April, oops!

Well, I can't post consistently anymore, I'm sorry.

This isn't even a review, wow.
Well, maybe mini reviews/first impressions?

Instagram pic, sorry XD

I collected these things for the past two weeks I guess?

Some were on sale, actually, most of them were!

Let's list them out!

1. Holika Holika BB Soda Pore Cleansing Foam

- I really wanted a new deep cleaning cleanser, especially one targeted for pores and makeup removal, so I got this. I haven't tried it. I nearly did, but maybe when I cut open my Neutrogena!

2. Tony Moly Dr. Tony AC Control Whitening Eye Serum

- Haven't tried this but I thought AC was for acne? Eye...acne? I wonder if I can use it on my face instead? But I'll try it on my eyes once I finish some of my eye gels/creams :)

3. Tony Moly Simply Style Makeup Eraser

- Got this because I wanna start using mascara more often and eyeliner again. Haven't tried it.

4. Tony Moly Intense Care Galactomyces Essence Mist

- I've used this mist before I sleep twice, it doesn't break me out so far, and it doesn't feel sticky. Will continue to use it more. I got this as a prize from Tony Moly Brunei :)

5. essence My Skin Caring Cleansing Wipes Pomegranate & Bamboo

- This is my 3rd repurchase! I like that it doesn't break me out and it helps remove makeup quite well. Maybe not the best but it IS quite good for the price. I might try the other variant next time. I dunno if a full review is needed, but if you want to know more, leave a comment?

6. Rosken Skin Repair Sensitive Skin Cream

- I normally use the one for Dry Skin but this was on sale, so I got it. 500ml for me lasts about a month? Or less? Depending on how my skin is. Maybe even more than a month. I tried it a bit and I still prefer the one for Dry Skin. This is lightweight though!

7. Double Dragon Minyak Kayu Putih

- Not a beauty product but I got this for the sake of my tummy haha. Not yet tried.

8. essence Pure Skin Anti-Shine Pore Refining Serum

- Got this to see if it'd help reduce sebum...and it kinda did. It works to an extent. Still in the midst of trying it out, but so far, I like it.

9. Catrice Evolution to Revolution Ultra Black Volume Mascara

- This is discontinued I believe, but it smells like the essence one I got, so it's still good? Didn't hurt my eye or anything. It's not waterproof, but it's quite good. Smudges a bit, just a bit. But I really like the natural step!

10. Holika Holika Vita Up! Facial Water Mist (GREEN)

- I don't know why I thought I need it, but I got it. I do have some mists already opened, so I might not use this yet.

-

That's all I got :D

Once my parents get back from the US, I'll finally do my belated birthday haul/gift post.

I just need to wait for some of them.

I will also have a mini haul for something I guess :3

We'll see.

I should be sleeping!

'til then, good night!

Take care!

Giveaway + Collective Haul (SaSa, Etude House, Luxola, Tony Moly, etc.)

This is my long delayed collective haul.
It got really long because I didn't expect to have so many things!!

I really underestimate myself sometimes.
Underestimate my ability to shop I mean.

Since university started, I just can't divide time anymore but thankfully I managed to do a lot of things yesterday/today.

After this I'm just gonna collapse and sleep!!

August Collective Haul *Hits Self*

I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LACK OF BLOGGING.
OMG.

Can't believe it's been exactly a MONTH since my last update. I'm so sorry :(
I've been procrastinating a lot.


Things happened too....hm, but that'll be for another time I believe.

I will have a giveaway up soon, btw. Once I have the time to like, make the video for it!
The bad thing about this post is that, once I took all the photos, I realized that I missed some things...I'll put it in a bracket somewhere.


For this haul post, there are some items for the giveaway too lol. So yeah, not all is for me.

I went to Miri twice, but to be honest, I don't think I bought THAT many stuff. It's just that some of it is more expensive x___x I'm trying not to buy anything this month BUT I need a mascara D: I kinda want an essence mascara. Any recommendations?


Anyway, moving on to the haul...

Here are all the things (minus some nose pore strips, toothpaste and some cream)

Some are from Paloma, but most are from Miri.

These are all collective from Watsons, Guardian, Tony Moly, TheFaceShop, SaSa (yes, I had to go back there >_> you'll see why).

Let's break it down, shall we? I will add some mini thoughts to the items I've tried.

Body mist, Gel eyeliners and a Handcream.

I got the body mist from Paloma. It was BND4.90 I think. I forgot the price by now. It smells identical to Victoria's Secret Body Mist in 'Love Spell'. Well, close enough. It smells more sweet I think but it's very similar. It's called 'Enchanted Kiss'. You can say they are copies of VS.

For the IN2IT gel eyeliners, I really only wanted a matte black gel eyeliner that would last well. This was fine, but it was too creamy for my liking. I will giveaway the brown one because I have a lot of browns already.

The hand cream is from TFS. I haven't opened it but it smelled okay when I sampled it. I preferred Tony Moly's hand creams I guess. Smells more natural.

Brush cleanser, De-pigmentor serums and a Lipbalm.

The brush cleanser is from Cyber Colors at SaSa. It wasn't that good, to be honest. Works better for eye brushes over face brushes, that's for sure. I wouldn't repurchase it once I run out I believe.

These nanowhite de-pigmentor serums were once my HG scar fading serum but so far, I think it doesn't work as well anymore. I don't know why. These things aren't cheap either :/ but I'll make it work again. I changed my skincare routine, maybe that's why.

A girl can't have too many lipbalms! I decided to buy another one of this variant because I love it so much. I have a lot of lipbalms to burn to be honest...

Lip products, Eye primer, Concealer, Eyeliner and Stick eyeshadow.

Most of the things here are from Tony Moly.

I've used three of the products here. Some of them are for my next giveaway haha.

I liked the products so much that I kinda want to give some away~

The slim lipstick from TM is such a joy on the lips. It's not drying, it's convenient and it smells lovely. Unfortunately they ran out of the colour I liked so I bought a more plummy one for the giveaway. It's definitely something I'd repurchase in the future.

I have the Petit Bunny Gloss in the yellow variant, so I decided to get two of them...so the winner of the giveaway can choose which one they liked more :3 both are cute.

I've also tried the eyeliner. That's from SilkyGirl. I thought it'd be my HG but so far, it smudges on my lower lashline ): I still can't find my HG black eyeliner yet! It's good though, for a drugstore brand.

The eye primer from TFS is also surprisingly good! Unfortunately it's kinda oily LOL.

I haven't opened the concealer and the stick eyeshadow from TM.

MORE ITEMS.

I've tried both CandyDoll products. They were kind of a letdown for the price :O

The lipgloss applies smooth but there's barely any colour. It's super sticky too!

The lipstick I have is in Vanilla Beige? It makes me look like a corpse XD acts more like a lip concealer for my skintone I guess!

theBalm's eyeshadow is for the giveaway also! It's in my favourite shade, Mischievous Marissa. It's not included in any of the Shady Lady palettes just so you know!

The lipbalm here is for a giveaway :3 (I'm giving away three kinds of lip products wtf)

essence stuffs here are from Paloma, obviously. I haven't tried the matt powder and you guys know how much I love the eye primer! However, I found out that it works best with SOME eyeshadow brands and works not so well with others. I think matte eyeshadow works best for it because my Urban Decay eyeshadows (satin, shimmery ones) kinda creased under 5 hours D:

The two eggs are from TM. I needed stuff for my blackheads.

I prefer the brown egg over the white one, that's for sure!

PHEW!

That's it for my collective haul.

I will make sure to do in-depth reviews for some of these things~

If you have any requests just tell me okay?

I really want to blog more often again x_x

Sorry again for slacking!

'til then, take care!

Have a nice day!

-Nisah-

Forget My Birthday Post, Here's My Makeup Haul!

Lol the title is just...lol. But honestly, I'd rather share photos than write a full blogpost. Oops.
I just got home yesterday night. It was tiring but I'm glad I came home and everything came home safe. It's like "THAT'S FRAGILE" all the way.

Anyway, I'm just excited to share the makeup/skincare I got.
And one re-buy that I regret not hoarding lol (it's not makeup XD)

I'll also list out the prices (Yay~) because I kept all the receipts. I think.

Most of the items aren't planned, only some are. Obviously. Some items I didn't manage to get too though, but I'm content!

Here's the haul!

On the first day, we went to Pavillion KL, I had to bite my lips as we walked past Sephora at Starhill Gallery. Now, that's what I call patience!

Not in this is my makeup remover wipes from SaSa btw.

I got a few things not in my list there:

TBS Cranberry Joy Fragrance Oil (RM25)
TBS Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner (RM39)

TBS Colour Crush Eyeshadow in Golden Girl (RM38)

They had this buy 3 and get 20% off promotion so yeah, three things.

I should have just bought three of the cranberry oil because I LOVE THAT.

And it's limited edition, so yeah :x

Golden Girl is a pretty colour, swatched buttery smooth. Just love.

Does it justify the price? Hm. Not so much LOL but the price point is similar to that of theBalm.

Next is this and a facial sauna (FINALLY)

elite Starlight Eyeshadow in Matt Choco (RM17)

This wasn't planned at all but I loved it when I swatched it...was actually planning to get PeriPera or Clio from Watsons but gdi, the testers were killing them for me >_>;

You see, I've always wanted a home facial sauna, and Watsons selling their house brand sauna for friggin RM39.90! Who wouldn't want that???

Moving on~

Stupid Pavillion got Etude House so I strayed there.

BAM.

Nymph Aura Volumer Baby Glow Balm in #03 Sand Beige (RM119.90)
Wonder Pore Freshener (RM79.90)

I've always eyed the Baby Glow but I didn't double check the price before I bought it. Rest assured, it's cheaper in Brunei >_>;

But I got this because it as Buy 1 Free 1 Promotion. Of course you pay for the more expensive item. I should've gotten both the Baby Glow balms just because it was pricy LOL.

But I've always wanted to try out the Wonder Pore Freshener, so yeah...

I just saw it as paying for both products rather than a BOGO LOL.

My mom was at Coach for a long time >_>; until it rained before we managed to go to Sephora.

I didn't manage to stare in awe because I went in with a mission:

Get in, Get it and Go. 

The Three Gs you need to abide by if you don't wanna spend too much.

So yeah, I rushed in, paid no attention to anything else other than the Urban Decay, Benefit and TooFaced aisle.

Looked around the Benefit World Famous Neutrals and BAM, I got it.

Real reason why I wanted it is because of these babies:

Discontinued (old packaging at least) Creaseless Cream Shadows

Then I moved on to Urban Decay (although it was the first thing you see when you get in)

I asked for the Theodora Palette and BAM, got it.

And then had a moment to choose between Naked and Naked 2.

Naked 2 won. GOT IT.

I went to TooFaced to swatch but I wasn't majorly impressed (or rather, I didn't want to be impressed, to save money)

SEPHORA

UD Naked 2 Palette (RM179)
UD Theodora Palette (RM180)
benefit World Famous Neutrals in Most Glamorous Nudes Ever (RM115)

Theodora is more pricey because well, it's limited edition and well, new.

Glinda was there too, being all pretty and shit but I told myself NO, because I didn't like the colours as much.

It wouldn't look good on me.

Oh, and spot that ziplock bag?

That's the UD Basic Launch GWP Promo set.

Got it from buying UD I guess.

I'm guessing everyone got the same thing (also guessing it's not the selling like hotcakes ones)

The Insides.

-2 Full-sized UD Vintage Eyeshadows in Midinight Cowboy and Goddess.

-2 Sample-sized UD 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Electric and Covet.

-1 Full-sized Clean & Sober Oil-Free Makeup Remover

-2 Sample Sachets of Primer Potions in Sin and Original

-1 Sample-sized UD Skyscraper Multi Benefit Mascara

(as I'm typing this, Midnight Cowboy fell from it's home, and now I have glitter everywhere)

Not sure of the value but a lot, I guess.

I'm quite happy with the samples except that the two colours are meh.

One was broken (Midnight Cowboy) and one was not the smoothest (Goddess).

I fixed Midnight Cowboy as soon as I stepped back into my room though, it was Glitter Mania.

See that mess around? Yeah, that's from Midnight Cowboy LOL. (This was before I fixed it)

I loved the colour and payoff of MC but the glitter was just too much D: as I fixed it, it was everywhere. EVERYWHERE.

Goddess is pretty in the pan, not that pretty on its own but gorgeous over a black base.

I tried it. Not on my eyes yet though.

That same night, we went to Parkson and uh, oops:

In my wishlist, but not planned (RM19.90)

I wanted Tenacious Teal but no place had it!

I got this at Parksons, and I also saw it at Caring Pharmacy.

Didn't see it at Watsons, Guardian or SaSa D:

A nice salesgirl also uh, co-erced me into buying this one:

Max Factor Max Effect Dip-In Eyeshadow in Ultra Violet (RM36)

It's pretty, but I really had no plans to buy it ):

At least I know I don't have anything similar!

I really wanted this so I got it~

CLIO Professional Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liner Mini Set (RM51.90 N/P: RM79.90)

All the testers I tried everywhere sucked.

I nearly didn't get this BUT the place that had this, the ONLY SaSa I found that had this had good testers!!

And I liked it, so I bought it LOL.

...last but not least:

My first M.A.C item!

M.A.C Paint Pot in Soft Ochre (RM72)

How pretty o.o

I actually wanted to NOT get this.

I wanted to buy NYX Eyeshadow Base in Skin Tone instead but unfortunately Sephora ran out of stock.

This was actually bought in the airport, KLIA.

It's normally RM75 I believe, but it was less RM3 in the airport. Weird huh?

Or maybe it's just this colour.

Or I might be wrong.

Mom got this for me. She also got me the Naked 2 Palette.

I didn't buy much (to my standards), I'm actually proud that I stuck by to some of the things I wanted to buy and refused to buy other things when I set my eyes on something.

Except for a few unplanned things, I'm proud that I didn't go crazy at Sephora nor at SaSa.

I'm learning. Slowly.

Unfortunately most of the things I bought are expensive...
So yeah ):


That's the first part of my KL Haul btw lol.

So yeah!

Take care!

-Nisah-

P.S: I post most of my hauls and stuff on my Instagram usually, but since I mixed it with personal vaining and stuff, following me is a choice lol. You either click the tab up there or just click here :D

Let's DYE...

....it blood red.

Or rather, die trying to!

*LONG POST AHEAD BTW*

So yeah, been losing the will to blog, I have a lot in mind but too lazy to blog I guess. Feel moody here and there, unfortunately. I was gonna do a blog about how happier I am now but that's down the drain somehow.

I'm gonna go on a trip from the 21st until the 25th I think, to KK :)
I can already hear the flapping of the wings from my money~

Anyway~ Let's do a quick update before I move on to the title of the blogpost.

First thing's first:

I won this giveaway hosted by NYX Cosmetics Brunei for The Spring Fling Palette (retails there for BND$49.90 I think). BTW, right now Shop@Sarah's is having a 20% sale on NYX (and apparently an additional 5% for members) and no, I'm not paid to say this XD just telling you guys out there~

Also sale on their Urban Decay, Sigma, TooFaced, etc. Until January 13th. I'm debating on getting the Vice Palette. SO MUCH that I sold my 120 Palette to my lil' sis for BND$7 LOL.

As much as I'd like to buy from Shop@Sarah's, the online shopper in me does know they kinda mark up the price quite high. But well, if you want to try US makeup (other than the usual drugstore ones), that's the only place for you to go :) I'll buy from them if I really can't find it online anymore I guess.

So here is my derpy photo for 800+ people to see on their page:

I'm happy, okay?? Just tired.

Yes, this was around the time I hauled Tony Moly and Paloma I think. I THINK. When I went out with Moo Moo and Mars XD

I didn't wear any eye makeup that day, just face makeup.

Anyway, I gave this palette to my cousin. I actually joined so she could get it. It was either her or my other friend. Decided to give it to her but I found out after that she rarely wears eyeshadow (Yes, I know you're reading dear. Wear it often!!)

I'll have her review it on behalf of me :)

It's a very pretty palette. When it was in my hands, I looked at it with tears in my eyes LOL.

So Pretty!!!

A less tired/derpy photo of me and the palette.

Yes, I was very tired.

My order from Makeup Academy or MUAStore came :D

This order was made during their 35% off + Free Shipping around November. It arrived in Brunei around December 1st but I only got it like, last week? I think so.

Only 4 out of these 6 are mine.

I think you can figure it out by now, what the three palettes and the three lipsticks are for.

Yes, it's for a giveaway. But I will only announce it once I get back from KK.

The one that I hauled for MYSELF:

- MUA Heaven and Earth Palette
- MUA Matte Foundation in Gentle Fawn
- MUA Lipstick in Bare
- MUA Bronzer in Shade 3

So far, I love all of them!!
I've only tried the foundation once, I don't think it contains any SPF but I might be wrong. The reason why I got the Heaven and Earth Palette is because it's really ME in a palette.

It's bronze, gold, browns, taupe and some lighter shades. Perfection for me.

The bronzer is nice, comparing it to my Holika Holika and Etude House "bronzers"/contour powder.

The Bare lipstick is....very,very nude. I look like a zombie if I don't have any makeup on, but with makeup, it's perfect.

My other order from MUA that I sent to my sis in the UK also arrived but eh, I don't wanna post the photo LOL.

My order from Cherry Culture hasn't arrived D:

Other hauls I got:

My acne was acting up so yeah.

The BB Cream shown here is SPF-free!! OAO

Brought my friend out to shopping and I hauled stuff too.

I'll say TheFaceShop haul was impulse buy but I don't regret buying the eyeliner. No way. I will collect them in KK I think.

The contour/highlight powder from Etude House....hmmm.

Just got the body butter and I am running out of it already.

I. LOVE. IT.

I might just stock on 'em while in KK if they're cheaper there.

I love the herby smell, not so strong but effective. It's made in Thailand. The Body Shop's body butters are also made in Thailand. Go figure.

And lastly, the one I got yesterday~

Ta-da~

Really, Nisah? You're gonna go on vacation and you hauled something again?

Really?
Yes, I did.

I wanted a pore tightening thing but apparently this is more of a serum than a pore tightener. We'll see how it is. I might get the pore tightening one either from Holika Holika or Etude House or somewhere. Anywhere.

Got some DIY stuff from Kim Super Save....

....and that brings us to the title of the post.

DIY DYE.

Okay, so basically nobody wanted to help me so yeah, I just went for it.

First box! Look at the unevenness!! HURRAH.

I was going for blood red but apparently it turned out more auburn than burgundy/blood red.

So I did another layer the next day, and dyed random parts of my bangs and stuff, avoiding the roots (for obvious reasons).

And here it is, with flash:

My sis called me a vampire.

It's overexposed but basically, It's got a mix of orange, red, brown and black.

Weirdly, the reddest parts are the ones that were black.

My dyed ends turned weirdly orange.

AND weirdly, I got....addicted to dyeing.

I'm easily addicted to things, hence I got another box (this time, Cherry Red) and a proper dye brush thingy.

I dunno. I really wanna go full red. I just want to. I dunno.

My maid complained that I'm changing a lot.

Fashion wise, I lost weight, started wearing contacts more often, sleeping weirdly, etc.

She said I'm not originally 'me' anymore.

Well I can't help it.

The old me was always depressed, suicidal, etc.

Does she want that?

Well she got it.

I got kind of depressed the other day.

My look yesterday night.

Is it wrong that I want to look fashionable?

It's not like guys are attracted to me anyway.

I have low self-esteem, why always bring me down?

I just wish people would just let me enjoy being someone else.

Oh yeah, I've been busy taking care of Shyla and two orphaned kittens. Well, when I wake up anyway.

The reason why I need to dye my hair (LOL NO)

Shyla's been well, weird.

She's been acting weird.

She's so high-maintenance I wanna cry D: She's so picky with food.

"I'm Princess Shyla and I love my food soft"

So basically, keeping her, honestly, she eats more than me. Enough said.

The orphan kittens unfortunately, one of them died ):

Mariah, Toby and Marina.

Marina, passed away last week, exactly a week ago I think. Poor girl ):

She didn't want to drink the formula milk.

I had high hopes for her too (man, I'm slightly tearing up) coz she reminded me of Ming Ming.

Pray that Toby and Mariah survives, okay? Please.

I'll be really heartbroken if they die too ):

Been playing this too.

Yes, I'm a girl and I enjoy Call of Duty. Mostly the Zombies portion but hey, I can play XD

If you wanna play online with me, my sis and my bro, do add us on PSN: Silverduan (Highlight to see)

Other than that, I finally tried Gloria Jean's Coffee?

Yummy cake :D I love the muffin particularly!

I had Mint Chocolate Bomb (decaf) and I thought it was okay.

I prefer the Coffee Bean Peppermint Chocolate thingy.

Also bought this!

Bought this due to watching The Yogscast play it.

LOVE IT.

But I haven't been playing as often as I should lol.

It's a good game, it is :)

In a perfect world, I'd give one free code to him....but the world is not perfect.

And last but not least:

GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!

Take care, everyone!

New Banner, Shyla & Some Insta-Haul Pics!

As much as I'd like a new blog layout, I think for now this is still the best layout. Unless, you don't think so?

Anyhow, I'm sure you'd have noticed the new banner by now?
I commissioned my friend, Farah, to draw me my new banner.

I'd have done it myself but I'm out of touch with my art side and I doubt I can draw myself.

The theme of the blog banner is me and macarons. The story is that last 2 weeks, my older sis bought loads of macarons for us! I wanted to take a photoshoot with the colourful macarons but my sis was out so I got bummed.

Look at all those macarons!! A total of 12 flavours and it cost BND72 !! 

Then my friend brought about the idea of drawing the macarons. I thought I'd do it, but then I decided to ask her to do it. LOL. Why? Because I'm lazy.

No, actually, I'm a bad colorist. So yeah, I commissioned her to do it. What do you think?
Is it nice?

Anyhow~

If you remember, a few posts ago, I said I was gonna adopt a cat named Pinky. It turned out that if I wanted to adopt her, I had to adopt her sibling, Brain, too, because they're so close. I don't have the energy to take care of two cats!! So I decided to adopt Shyla instead.

Meet Shyla!

Shyla, as the name suggests, is a shy cat. Or was a shy cat anyway!

Now, she's in heat currently and is curious about everything. I just got her approximately 9 days ago and so far, so good. She's so docile :) I love her. She kissed me on the lips the other day lol.

Here's a short video of her playing:



So yeah....the last few days, or a week ago, I hauled a lot of stuff. I went to Miri, I went to haul HolikaHolika stuff and then went overboard again with shopping D: My stuff from sasa.com also came!

I took photos with my sister's DSLR but unfortunately, she has not transferred the photos >_>

So instead, I'll show you a snippet of the hauls through my InstaHaul pics :D

From my sasa.com order:

Two of them are freebies :D and I got Buy 1 Get 1 deal on the scrub! 

For my Miri Haul:

I actually booked theBalm's The Balm Jovi Palette in advance, just in case I didn't manage to get it! I'm so happy I got it! It's such a nice palette.

I also got a free clear lip gloss and a lipstick with it! Ain't that a good deal??

Since I butchered my eyebrows accidentally, I decided to get an eyebrow pencil that's slightly waterproof. I also got a Kate Eyebrow Mascara and last but not least, a nice synthetic brush nice for applying powder!

Sorry for the bad photo! 

Along with SaSa, I went to TheFaceShop which was having a sale at that time.

I got myself some nailpolishes, a lip tint and decided to try out the Lip & Eye Make-up Remover too.

Look at that!

I impulsively hauled some cds and dvds. WTF.
I didn't regret getting the Angela Aki album but the Nakashima Mika dvd was wtf >_>

Impulse Buy #1

I also got the November CLEO and Vivi but I'm too lazy to take pics of it!

I also hauled a bunch of Maybelline Baby Lips Color Lip Balm.

I bought Coral Flush in Brunei. The rest was at Watsons.

I gave away the Pink Lolita in my last giveaway and I gave away the Rose Addict to my niece :)

I myself have not tried them yet. I heard the colours are very subtle.

I might just get the complete collection (all 5 colours) for myself :D

Oh, and I also got these amazing shoes for half off!!

My dream shoes :D

Unfortunately, I don't have jeans that go well with them. So far, I have to wear tights or leggings with them.

Case #1

Blurry photo by my niece lol (Yayasan OOTD) 

My first time wearing them out. The soles are actually quite slippery!

Case #2

Blurry photo by my nephew lol (The Mall OOTD) 

A lot of my friends said I lost weight. Well, I did but honestly, I always had the smallest legs compared to the rest of my body LOL. No, I didn't photoshop this. It's the combination of the shoes and the black tights/leggings that make me look thin. If my stomach problems didn't happen, I could have toned my legs better.

Anyway, back to Miri~

Green Tea Cheese Cake. It was so silky and smooth!

Food. I only had this and a burger from Mary Brown. To be honest, after my stomach problems, I don't eat much. Except during PMS (which is now).

Okay. Moving on.

Let's talk about Holika Holika haul!

Went out with my lenses and did my brows in a Japanese style. I did my niece's eyes because she wanted makeup but I had no time Dx

We went to Yayasan because I was craving for bibimbap!

Yummy-licious thing right here!

After that, I was tempted to get this eyeliner from TFS but in the end, I ended up buying from Holika Holika and got a membership card too!

The price made me cry but I think it's worth it!! I thought this was gonna be the last haul I did. It was, indeed. FOR NOVEMBER.

Will break this down in another post.

The freebies as a member. Look at that cat pouch!! OMG

The lovely purple umbrella.

You know, since it's Brunei Salebration Time, nothing is safe from my clutches. No, actually, nothing is safe from my money D:

Especially when I knew Tony Moly had 50% off some of their stuff at The Mall.

GDI.

So yeah, I hauled again! Let's count this as December Haul #1, okay? I went out with Moo Moo and met her friend, Maresa or Mars :D We hit it off quite fast!

All this for BND40.70. Imagine if it was full price D8

Unfortunately for my lucky dip, I only got samples *cries*

And the samples are skincare ones too! My face is volatile enough. I gotta be more careful, you see.

So far, I've opened one of the lip liners and the concealer.

Good news is that I am now a member :D just waiting for the member card now.

I should have bought some nail products!

I also had an impromptu Paloma haul:

There's something wrong here.

Only after buying it, I found out TSS has expiry dates on the boxes. So I checked.

And heck no.

The snail pact has expired last October!! I dunno if I can exchange it this week since I can't go to The Mall any time soon D: I mailed them though. Haven't been replied yet.

I also think I might be allergic to the BB Cream. I hope that's not the case. The BB Cream expires next year, so that's okay.

I'm kinda bummed :/ don't they check stocks? I know they were trying to clear stuff out by having a 70% off sale BUT selling expired products is wrong. Right?

I also bought his nice fragrance oil to burn:

V.A.N.I.L.L.A (what else is new, right?)

And also~ I got myself some shorts.

Family does not approve.

I'll do a break down of each collective haul once I got the pics from my sister, okay?

Gonna do another blogpost maybe tomorrow!

Okay then, have a great day!

Good night, stay safe.
