Review | Evian Facial Spray

I've been trying out a product called Evian Brumisateur Natural Mineral Water Facial Spray. You may recognize the brand since it is already well-known for being a bottled water company. I bought mine from Watson at a retail price of RM19.90. Sometimes you can get it during promotion at RM9.90. In my hometown, it is only available in a 50ml spray can although they have another 2 sizes of 100ml and 300ml.

Review | L'Occitane Angelica Hydra Vital Gel

I have been using Angelica Hydra Vital Gel from L'Occitane for over 7 months now as my daily moisturiser and that should be long enough for me to do a review on this product. It claims to give instant and intense hydration to skin - up to 24 hours. I have an oily-combination skin, which is why I choose this instead of their cream moisturiser from the same range. I also have with me a bottle of Angelica Face Toner and I will be reviewing it in a separate post.

Anyway, I was indeed looking for a new moisturiser and I thought of going for a gel type. After finishing the sample version of Angelica Hydra Vital Gel I redeemed from L'Occitane, I quickly went back to to the nearest boutique to purchase its full size.

First impression - It's so lightweight and refreshing! I have been on the search of a moisturiser that doesn't make my face feeling greasy and sweating. Could this be the right one?

RM8 DIY Brush Holder!

Hi guys! I couldn't remember when was the last time I posted a DIY blog post but I have one for you this week. I have seen this DIY brush holder on many beauty blogs and finally decided to try it myself.

I think everyone that have Real Techniques brushes for more than 2 years might face the same problem as mine - the black rubber holder of the brush become terribly sticky to the point other brushes will stick with it. This little trick saved my brand new brushes from looking worn because of the glue.

As always, I went to Mr DIY store to look around and stumbled upon this hari raya jar, haha. The one our mums always put kacang or muruku inside. I thought this would be the perfect size to store my small brushes. RM5.50 for a glass jar, so cheap!

For the beads, I used..

Review | Wet n Wild Color Icon Brow & Eye Liner Pencil

If you have been doing your weekly shopping at SASA stores lately you may have spotted some change in the cosmetic isle, and if you are a beauty buff, you would have heard of this famous US cosmetic brand - Wet n Wild. There were a lot of rumblings for the past months over my Instagram claiming that this brand is finally available in Malaysia shores.

People have been raving about stuffs from this brand because of good reasons - not only Wet n Wild makeups are affordable, they are also very good quality. If you are from Melaka, you can find Wet n Wild our DP's SASA. The selection of products we have over here isn't really overwhelming as the one in IOI Mall, but I think they are enough to cover most of the popular and well known items.

Not long ago, I got these Wet n Wild Color Icon Brow & Eye Liner Pencils for RM7.90 each instead of their original price of RM11.90 during SASA's End of The Year Sale Campaign. I decided to get 2 of colour that I thought would suit me the most - Taupe and Dark Brown. I looked up for more informations from Wet n Wild website, unfortunately they only state that this product is rich, creamy colour glides on smoothly without tugging, and it's also versatile.

So, are these true? Read more to find out!

Review | ColourPop Lippie Stix (Kathleen Lights - Lumiere)

I have been wanting to try ColourPop's Lippie Stix for so long! Colourpop is a cruelty free California based brand with all their products are made in USA. On their website, they offer various colour of lipsticks, lip liners and eye shadows for a price of $5 each.

When my favourite online reseller opened a spree for ColourPop, I knew I had to pick up this particular lipstick in the shade 'Lumiere' because the creator of this colour is non other than Kathleenlights from YouTube. I haven't been excited to purchase a lippie product in such a long time okay.. To be honest, I bought this lipstick because of her, not because of the shade. It's like - me, buying INFINITE CDs because they are INFINITE, regardless whether I'm going to like their songs or nahh. Get it, get it? (irrelevant comparison lol)

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED KATHLEENLIGHTS VIDEOS?! *insert a fangirl emoji here*

So time for the ran down, shall we?

Haul | The Big Bad Wolf Sale (December 2014)

Hi! I would like to share with you guys my book haul from The Big Bad Wolf Sale (December 2014) because just in case you missed the previous sale, Big Bad Wolf Fire Sale is happening now at MIECC, starting today until 9th February. This post has been sitting in my drafts for weeks, I thought now is the right time to get it posted, so you are still able to go to the sale this week.

To my luck, I won the preview passes for last year's sale but I was no where near Bookxcess Store for the redemption proccess. I was a bit disappointed because there were A LOT of books I wanted but they were sold out (or I couldn't find them) by the time I finally made it to the event.

Just in case some of you are curious, The Big Bad Wolf Sale is one of the biggest book sale event in Malaysia (probably in the world too), where all of the books are at 75-95% discount. Fiction books are only at RM8 (less than $3!). Believe me, this is the best bargain for books, EVER.

Haul | Daiso Beauty

Hi everyone, how is it going?

I wanted to show with you all some goodies I picked up from Daiso. If you're not familiar with Daiso, it is a Japanese store that sells all the things you could ever think of! Just like Dollar Store in the US, I guess? Here in my country, almost all of the products in Daiso are RM5 unless otherwise marked - so cheap and affordable there is no way one could refuse to buy something from there.

Although I'm a beauty enthusiasm (self-proclaimed, lol), I hardly buy anything or browse around the cosmetic and beauty-related aisles of Daiso. Stationary and baking areas interest me more and also, I always have a doubt whether their cosmetic products are going to suit my skin or irritate it. Soon after I watched Shu An's video of Daiso Tried and Tested, I had this urge into trying out some of their products by myself. I'm still not confident enough to try their cream and liquid based makeup products like foundation, sun block, bb cream and concealer because my skin is very sensitive. Salah guna product, then boom! terus jerawat naik!

So, I thought I would stick to eye makeups.
