You know how every product review of mine comes with a story? This one is not exceptional either. It has a bitter and sweet story behind it. Which explains why I took so long to get into these Breena Beauty B212 Basic Eyeshadow Brush and B216 Brow Definer Brush.
When Sabrina from Breena Beauty emailed me on the delivery of these brushes, I was excited and eager to try the new brushes. I think no girl will have enough of makeup brushes. For me I can never have enough of eye makeup brushes as I used a few at one go to complete a look.
What I like about Sephora is that members get rewarded with birthday gift every year. Every year I get to claim my birthday gift on any day as long as it is within my birthday month i.e. September. This year however I was not allowed to claim my birthday gift. It seems that Sephora had changed their policy. An email notification will only be sent one week AFTER the actual birthday. No biggie about that as I received my email in just a few days after my birthday. And if I make a purchase, I will be rewarded with double points. I took this opportunity to check out the new sleeping mask but went home with Sephora Orchid Eye Mask instead 😀
My concern for the eye area has always been the fine lines and wrinkles. Those are signs of aging unfortunately, which is probably the one and only main concern for me when it comes to aging as these nasty lines makes me look older and haggard. There are a handful or two selections for their eye mask. I went with Orchid after talking to the Elaine, the friendly BA at Sephora IOI City Mall *thanks Elaine for the helpful assistance*!
CANMAKE, the one and only Japanese cosmetic brand that I’m using celebrated its grand 30th anniversary last weekend at Beauty Expo and unveiled the latest range of face, eye, cheek, and lip colours.
The theme Glossy & Shiny for the party season gave a natural, light, translucent looking skin with dewy glow is the centre stage of this look. Complement the look with glossy lips to accentuate natural lip colour. Another trend that is currently popular in Japan is Color Coordinate. This look is all about coordinating the lips and cheeks using the same colour. Seal the look with gel blusher blended high on the cheek, just below the eyes for the oriental doll look.
It was lots of fun at Estée Lauder Pink Charity Ride 2015 which was held last Saturday 17th October at Mid Valley Megamall. I could not sleep at all probably due to excitement, that I needed to wake up early or it could be the coffee I had at 5pm the day before. Since I do not really sleep that much these days (or rather not sleeping at all), I took a light breakfast at home at 4am (crazy, I know) as I was a bit hungry. I left my house at 5.30am and reached Mid Valley at 6am.
For some odd reasons, the road was pretty busy at 5.30am on a Saturday. When I was nearing Mid Valley, it gotten busier. The mall surrounding was ‘lively’ and so does the basement parking. I saw happy sights of participants prepping their bikes and testing their bikes around the parking lot.
I registered myself, took some coffee and walked to the Start of the ride. I wish I could tell you the feeling I had at that time. The surrounding was full with excitement, happy and supportive participants. Lots of positive energy and vibes around me. None the less, I was at the right place at the right time.
Guardian Malaysia marks environment week with the launch of ‘Bring Your Orange Bag’ or better known as BYOB campaign in Malacca state to be in line with the State Government’s initiative to make every day a plastic bag-free day beginning 1st January 2016.
Interestingly, I find out that the 20 cents collected from every Saturday (it’s our no plastic bag day FYI) are used to create Guardian BYOB campaign. We don’t feel so bad paying that extra 20 cents now that we know that the funds are being used properly for a good cause, isn’t it? 😀
