GUERLAIN METEORITES COMPACT LIGHT REVEALING POWDER




I never thought that i would love a powder compact, but when i got my hands on Guerlain, i knew that this baby is not only esthetically pleasing but also good for easy touch-ups.

The result? Tiny glitters on my face.

The purpose of the compact is for color-correcting, i'm using it as the last step of my make-up routine.

HAIR Ritual by Sisley

I LOVE HAIR PRODUCTS!!!!! more so, products with biotin which regenerate hair cells. As a asian, i felt like my hair is pretty thin, and i have a a bald spot on the front because i always tie my hair up. I love Sisley, it's a brand most people dont reach out to because 1. the effects are not immediate 2. pricey (really pricey in Malaysian Ringgit) So, having tried a TON of Sisley's products, from their famous black rose mask, all types of other mask, Ecological compound, I'm elated that Sisley came out with their own range of hair care. Look at that packaging ! LUXE They focus on using Botanical ingredients  The packaging itslef is pretty awesome, a reusable box which has the words "give", whereas inside of it there is golden and silver plastics just to fill up the space and to prevent products from moving. On the left: Regenerating hair mask On the right: Revitalizing Smoothing Shampoo ...

Realization

I. Blogging, many people have been blogging regarding travel tips, fashion etc. but maybe i would want to do something different. Basically i was inspired by a friend would wrote on her blog and i thought like:" Hey, maybe i should start one too." But i was constantly lazzzzzzzzy.   Nothing too personal, i just think that life is so different. Most people live their lives in their comfort zone. Only a few would take a leap of faith to go outside their comfort zone. Most of us live vicariously, it means that you experience something indirectly, maybe through the experiences of your friends and all that. It's sad, it's sad we can't experience things and feelings first hand. Living out of your comfort zone is not easy, and what i'm trying to say is more like an abstract thing. It means stop seeking for the approval of others, stop doing things to please other people, stop living hoping that you're getting a one way ticket to happiness.   To quo...

Dr Wu skincare (taiwan)

I have a bunch of Dr Wu products to review, stay tuned!!!!! The Extra hydrating lotion feels like a moisturiser to me, so close that i can't really differentiate between the both. Kudos for Dr Wu for creating the hydrating range which is suitable for all skin types. We all know that whatever skin type we have, it's best to go to the basics to provide our skin with supple moisture, then only we add the AHAs and BHAs, as for whitening products, it can be misleading especially when the products are more towards brightening. We all know our skin can't magically turn whiter just because of applying topical products. Anyway, the Extra Hydrating Lotion is a must for my everyday skincare routine. The best combination, starting from toner, to lotion, to essence.  Travel sizes products are so good for me to bring on short trips, and honestly, i like using them at home as well. What is even more amazing, apart from t...
