Mieza Everdeen

Believe it or not, this was my first ever purchase from Sephora. Before this I have been to Sephora Paradigm Mall but the SA was too friendly and clingy it killed my mood to survey around. Plus at that time I was still very naive about purchasing makeup and beauty stuffs like this so I was afraid to buy. This purchase was made at Sephora Starhill before redeeming my winning prize from Sunshine Kelly, which was a Bora-Bora Dream Spa treatment at Philip Wain Starhill. 

I just realized that I had mentioned about these babies in my previous Windows Phone Picture Diary #1 post. I'm just so happy to add in my 3rd Soap & Glory item which is damn fabulous (been using it a few times already), got my first Smith's Rosebud Salve after years of yearning for it and gambling RM45 for that Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray out of curiosity to see whether it will work in our climate or not. 

So yeah, I think that's all for now and I really have to tell myself not to purchase anymore coz I have enough stocks already. What I'm waiting now is the parcel containing 6 Maybelline Colour Tattoos bought from MySale promotion. Well, it was RM10 each and not available in Malaysia :p till then!

Assalamualaikum and hello! I was recently invited to IACT Educational Fair at Jaya One, Petaling Jaya. I have always wanted to know how a private college looks like, how their facilities are, so there it is, I got my chance ^_^ Before I proceed, here's a beat drop dance performance by IACT students :

For your information, IACT College is located at Jaya One, a business park swarming with shopping lots, chic cafes and restaurants. I was informed that the reason of placing IACT College in Jaya One is to adapt the students to real working environment where students got to meet real clients and see how business takes place. Unlike the common practice of building universities in isolated rural places with hope that urbanization won't affect student's life, I found this move creative and fresh.

students attending the education fair

As the Creative Communication Specialist in Malaysia, IACT College offers courses concerning Media and Creative Arts to its students. During the educational fair, there were various counters opened to assist SPM leavers, parents and students to learn more on how IACT College can be the best place for students to continue their tertiary education.

Then we were brought for a tour around the library, and I can say that the library is very comfortable and relaxing to study at, regardless its small size. Apart from the common study area, it was equipped with carousal room, presentation room and another room for total silence, I forgot its name but if you're a person who can't study even with minimal sound, then this room is for you ;)

The students of IACT are creative souls who are not afraid to show their talents. There is a day in the week dedicated for performances and they will grace the grounds of Jaya One showcasing their singing and playing instruments. 

Students who attended the education fair were given a ticket to Escape Room, which challenge will be held on April 4th, 2013. 

Above all, the initiative of such educational fair done by IACT College is a brilliant idea and should be carried on more frequently. I love the fact that they readied so many counters for potential students to learn about the offered courses, how can they get financial aids, oversea universities that partnered with IACT for IACT students to continue their studies, companies who need IACT students for internship and also for job placements. The guided tour too is capable of opening our eyes on what the college has to offer, and indeed IACT has proved that they're serious in educating the students. For more information on IACT and the offered courses, contact :

Assalamualaikum and hello!

Are you a frequent contact lenses user? I am, and in fact, I wear contact lenses everyday when I go out. Since I have been wearing contact lenses for 8 years (and counting), I always look for lenses which have reasonable prices and make me feel like I don't have anything stuck on my eyeballs [read : super comfy]. 

Thanks to a professional contact lens brand, CooperVision I was given the opportunity to experience how awesome their contact lenses are! Actually before I was approached by them, I already used their contact lenses and even managed to persuade my beloved blogger pal Edazz from Beautylicious to try them too coz I love how good their lenses are. My first encounter with CooperVision lenses was when my best friend and I redeemed a free pair of monthly Biofinity lenses from them.   

This is the contact lens that I'm now using, Biomedics 1 Day Extra from CooperVision. It is suitable for beginners or for anybody because this lens is designed for day-long comfort.   What I love about CooperVision is that they are really particular in producing contact lenses to cater the need of most people. You can browse through their website and choose the lenses that suits your preference. They have Biofinity range, Proclear range, Biomedics range, and MiSight range. What you should know is that these different ranges are aimed to help people from different age background (children and adult), different eye condition (short-sighted and astigmatic), different disposable period (daily and monthly) and each of them are specifically tailored to contribute to a maximum comfort for its wearers.

1. Pic taken using Sony Xperia L, filtered. These are the top 3 choices of spectacles that Tammy and I chose for my prize. It was sponsored by Essilor and in the end, we chose the bottom spectacle. I really love it, so comfy and I believe that it helps in my self-confidence as well ^_^ I love the camouflage-like pattern too, coz among my dreams is to join the army :p (can't blame anyone, it's in my gene. half of my family members are in the army, navy and air-force. My late grandpa was in the British Army)

 3. Pic taken using Lumia 920. That Olay Professional Pro-X has been in my care for a year. My friend Talhah helped me to buy it from UK since he's studying there. A few months later the same product arrived at Malaysian shore with a different name, hah! It helped my skin well, though sometimes zits popped up like nobody's business when I'm too lazy to properly care for my skin, or my unbalanced hormones messed up everything during that time of the month. As for the Dove body wash, it is my current favourite now, I got it from Dove School of Skindulgence event with The Butterfly Project. This body wash is too good it successfully wiped off my OCD towards anti-bacterial body wash. Wanna know how awesome Dove body wash with Nutrium Moisture is? Check out what my fellow beauty blogger pal Anfaal has to say about it ^_^

5. Pic taken using Lumia 920. This is my pet cat named Bob. My family adopted him when he was very small and very skinny. He is now close to his first birthday I guess, and has grown to a very healthy, fat cat. He does not meow unless he is hungry. He loves human food more than cat food. A very mischievous creature, Bob loves to play in 'tudung saji', in a basket, and another hobby of him is pouncing on my mother's feet, resulting to an ear-splitting shriek from her. 

6. Pic taken using Lumia 920. Here is Bob again. Lately he has been sleeping a lot. He sleeps all day long from morning till evening, only active at night where he went outside and catch any poor bird that got into his way. Naughty Bob! He does not really fight with other cats, I think he's a bit of a cowardly male cat. When another cat came chillaxing at the shoe rack outside my house, Bob wouldn't dare to step a foot past the grill. He will sit outside the grill, usually in the basket of my dad's antique bicycle. When I open the door calling his name, he will quickly jump inside the house while meowing like nobody's business. I believe that he is telling me "why don't you open the door earlier? I have been waiting for hours, I am afraid of that grey cat, he took my napping place on the shoe rack and I was damn scared sitting in the basket outside". 

7. Pic taken using Lumia 920. These books are my latest catch. I got that Women of A Dangerous Age and Web Design Handbook from Bookxcess, helping my friend to fully use his book voucher. The other two books I got from Popular bookstore using my own book voucher. Throne of Glass (book 1) and Assassin's Blade (book 3) are my newest addiction, it is a series and I yet to get the second book, Crown of Midnight (saw it only at MPH bookstore at Empire Subang). The heroin's name in this series is Celaena Sardothien, the most feared 18-year old assassin from the Kingdom of Adarlan. I just can't wait to proceed reading!

8. Pic taken using Lumia 920. These babies are my latest catch at Sephora Starhill. I have been longing for the Smith's Rosebud Salve (Strawberry) since I saw Diana from Quin Kitty wrote about it in her haul + review post 2 years ago. The second item is Soap and Glory Flake Away body polish. Aside from being in my wish list, buying this baby too was influenced by Fiona from Street-Love. FYI, Fiona is one of my favourite local beauty blogger for her honest reviews. Some of my purchases are 100% influenced by her, hehe! Next is the Urban Decay de-slick Makeup Setting Spray. Fiona said it doesn't work on her skin, while non-Malaysian beauty bloggers raved about this. So, I took the travel size to try it, with very high hope that it will work on my skin :p If it doesn't, I don't feel burned at all, maybe. Fiona told me in her reply comments that she will try it a few times more to see if this thing can work. Fiona, if you're reading this maybe you have an idea on what to update ;)

So, this is what my picture diary looks like. Thank you for staying till the end, and do leave your comments ya! I'd love to hear what my lovely readers have to say about anything regarding this post ^_^

Assalamualaikum and hello!

I have been drafting and not posting again =_='' Just feeling a bit demotivated since I don't have my own camera already, it's sad (T_T) thank you though to a very close friend of mine who always lend me her DSLR, I don't know where else I can find a friend as awesome as her in this entire world. Okay enough of my self-pity moment. I went back to my home town a few days back and a family outing commenced. We went for dinner at my favourite place, Ayam Penyet Wong Solo. After that my dad said "lets go window shopping" so we strolled around Mahkota Parade before the business hour ended. 

There was a clearance sale at Timberland and mom suggested me a pair of sneakers which was very comfortable. Dad ran away of course, silly him doesn't wanna pay if I ask for too expensive shoes, hahaha! Since mom said it's on her, I agreed to that pair of sneakers coz it is easy to wear and I love how comfortable my feet feels upon wearing it. And then, finally the SA told us that there's no more size 6 left in stock. Bomm, end of story. Sad ending huh?

So I went to The Body Shop to cure my broken heart. I remembered that my Tea Tree Oil is going to finish soon so I took two of it. Since 2 bottles of tea tree oil can't disperse my disappointment of not getting those Timberland sneakers, I looked around and snagged more items into my shopping basket. I even treated my youngest sister her favourite strawberry shower gel so I felt happy for putting a smile on her innocent face.
