I am not gonna talk about religion here. It is useless to have a religious debate with people having absobloodlylutely no faith, like those supporting Zionism clearly. As for my story, I am proud of you Azizulhasni Awang. You did the right thing for humanity. We say SAVE GAZE because we care. We all are doing whatever we can to stop the invasion, to paralyze that particular shameless nation. Our athlete here is doing what he can do during the games, he delivered a message for the world to see. It is simple. It is not provocative. It is what humans. with the right mind, with a functional, straight brain, should do, should have done a long time ago. We say SAVE GAZA not just today. We have been saying it for ages. And we will never stop. We will do whatever it takes, within our range of capabilities, to send the message. We have hopes that one day the world will get the balance. One fine day it will, and one fine day, all races and religions on earth will live peacefully, coexist harmoniously with each other. Why do you think it is so hard? 

There has been so much hate. So much bloodshed. So much killing. So much cruelty. So much hypocrisy. So much is unjust when justice is the only right solution that everyone can see but it is never done. When do we end this? Or does the world need to end us sooner than we end all these bullshits? 

Assalamualaikum and hello! I was invited to the launch of L'oreal Paris latest addition in their makeup range, which is the Mat Magique All-In-one Compact with SPF34 PA+++ and the Color Riche Moist Matte lipsticks. This new range is aimed to help makeup users achieve the latest Parisian trend which is Modern Matte, a famous runway look fresh from Paris Fashion Week. This Modern Matte look is all about creating a light, smooth effect that is radiant and fresh. This is where the shine-free, perfectly poreless looking skin effect comes in, lasting all day long and making us forget what touch-ups are ^_^ 

The new Mat Magique All-In-one Compact comes with a superior unique mineral called the Natural Volcanic Perlite that mattifies the skin look by absorbing sebum, giving us the shine-free, freshly applied makeup look even though hours has passed by. Firstly, Mat Magique helps to prime our skin with its skin balancing properties and the matte, shine-free look can last up to 12 hours** even in hot and humid weather like in Malaysia. Next, it covers blemishes and imperfections even though it is actually a lightweight powder, making the wearer's skin look very smooth as if there is foundation on. Thirdly, Mat Magique protects the skin with SPF34 PA+++ by offering a broad spectrum protection against UVA/UVB rays, so whenever we have it on our mind can rest a bit from feeling worried over exposure to sunlight :)

During the event, audiences were introduced to the new Mat Magique All-In-One Compact and Color Riche Moisture Matte Lipstick. We got to experience them through product demo, makeover and hands-on experiment. Celebrities Erin Malek and Megan Tan were there as well to share their experiences in using the powder and the lipstick. They showed us two experiments using the powder, comparing it with brand X. Using Mat Magique, oil blotting paper shows no traces of oil on skin while brand X shows that oil production cannot be hide. The next experiment was done with water and oil. A small bottle of oil is poured into a glass of water, then Mat Magique powder and brand X powder is poured into the separate glasses. The water with Mat Magique absorbs the powder and no oil layer can be seen on top, showing that sebum and sweat cannot take control of the skin when we use Mat Magique All-In-One Compact :) However for water added with brand X powder, oil layer is clearly seen on the surface and then the powder clots and clumps inside the water, showing that it has no ability to absorb oil and water. 

L'oreal Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Compact is available in 3 shades specially formulated for South East Asian skin tones which are R1 Rose Ivory, N2 Nude Vanilla and G2 Golden Ivory, priced for RM39.90 each and RM19.90 each for the refills. I personally feel that they should have come out with more shades as the darkest shade G2 is not even dark and I believe that many people especially here in Malaysia will have problems finding a matching shade, especially for sporty tanned girls. L'oreal Paris Color Riche Moist Matte Lipstick is available in 8 shades, retailing at RM35.90 each. I am always a neutral when it comes to giving opinions on lipstick but with this range, I say that the colours are all so fun and they will be able to match many skin tones so yeah, I love the Color Riche Moist Matte Lipstick especially after I have tried them :) Both products can be obtained at all major pharmacies and retail outlets in Malaysia.

I must admit, I then visited Sephora because I am truly ready to part ways with my money XD this babe has been on my wish list for quite some time when I saw Paris B sharing about her cleansing balm addiction on her blog Mywomenstuff. I then made a research on the most preferred cleansing balm, and I found that many raves on Clinique Take The Day Off cleansing balm. The price is RM120 for 125ml and I am telling you, this thing is hugeee! I don't know how long will I take to finish this since I am not wearing makeup everyday for now, hahaha XD i am truly happy to get this and I will review it extensively soon after I had a fair share of time experimenting with it :) this is my first cleansing balm and I hope it won't disappoint me!

Lastly, I got myself a pack of Miacare Acne Patch for Night because I just love acne patches so much. It is the easiest acne treatment I can rely on even though not all the time it work wonders on me. Have you visited my post on my favourite acne treatments? I found that between Miacare and Nexcare, the latter is easier to peel off and gets peeled off when I was sleeping but Miacare will never budge from my skin and it is tough for me to take it off as I don't have long nails. However, both brands work on my skin although not 100% promising. I just need to have this :)

Assalamulaikum and hello!

As a skincare freak, I cannot help but envy those Korean actresses with porcelain like skin in numerous commercials. Well, I know that almost all of them are products of plastic surgery but come on, no girl on earth won't want a flawlessly healthy, glowing skin right? I am grateful on the skin colour that God blessed me with, it is a wishful thinking for me to transform my yellow undertone skin to become snow-white like those Korean actresses' skin. However, my aim for clear, supple skin is always on-going and I will not miss to know any little secrets the world can offer to me.

So the first thing that all human beings must know to ensure the well-being of their skin is hydration. Yes, we don't want cracked or peeling skin, neither do we want a greasy face. Know that no matter what skin type you are blessed with, hydration always comes first. CREMORLAB, a new classic in hydration comes with T.E.N values for clear, translucent skin with enhanced firmness. That is why The Butterfly Project Malaysia recently blessed me with the opportunity to meet CREMORLAB and introduce it to you guys ^_^

My fellow Butterflies and I successfully created a girly havoc during the afternoon with CREMORLAB at Muse by Watsons, Sunway Pyramid, hehe! As usual, some of us arrived early (well I arrived 30 minutes early until I got to make friend with the official photographer, uncle definitely was such a nice person!) and we took the opportunity to take pictures first. Muse by Watsons staffs were very helpful to us, attending to every inquiries our chirpy mouth had to ask and they made us feel super welcomed! Oh, it was also the first day of fasting and to my surprise, they too packed a box of treats for fasting Butterflies, how thoughtful :') 

Then came the highlight of the event, where Amanda Gan (Brand Manager for Muse by Watsons) gave her welcome speech and introduced us to CREMORLAB before the spotlight changed to Dr.Koh Chuan Keng (consultant dermatologist from Koh Skin Specialist Clinic) whom shared with us the importance of skin hydration. Dr.Koh first mentioned to us that in order to know whether you're seeing a real dermatologist or not, check out for the list of Malaysia's dermatologists at www.dermatology.org.my and here is the direct link of Dermatologist Directory in Malaysia :) He then began the talk by explaining the skin structure, insults to skin, barrier malfunction (how it happens and how the skin looks), and then the importance of hydration.

• Scrubs are good but people with dry skin do not use scrubs for oily skin as it will contribute to skin dehydration
• Look for hydrating masks that are not oil-based and non-comodogenic
• Use moisturizers that are not oil-based, contains no fragrance and colorant if possible
• Light moisturizer for day time (to prep skin for makeup), heavy (thick, creamy) moisturizer at night
• Avoid makeup on eczema and dry patches
• Use mineral makeup, consider using light powder on blemishes instead of heavy makeup
• Women : min 7 glasses of water daily   |   Men : min 11 glasses of water daily

After that we were then ushered to the stations prepared for us by the staffs there to experience CREMORLAB, skin consultation and makeover. I was assisted by Irene for a makeover, and I really love the outcome of her magical touch! She used T.E.N Cremor Long Lasting Perfect BB on my skin and it looked ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. I am so going to get this babe soon XD then I had a skin consultation session where another staff, Mike, thoroughly explained to us all about our skin condition. I found out that my skin's thickness is medium, I don't have sensitive skin, no pigmentation and the skin on my nose + forehead contain blocked pores. No wonder I always got pimples erupting on these two areas =_=''

Now, allow me to introduce the fabulous new T.E.N Cremorlab products that I got to 'meet' during the event ^_^ The star product introduced to us during the event was the T.E.N Cremor Mineral Treatment Essence, which is best complimented with T.E.N Cremor O2 Bubble Energizing Mask. As for makeup, T.E.N Cremor Long Lasting Perfect BB (SPF50) is going to be your skin's greatest companion as apart from being just makeup, it hydrates well, acts as an anti-ageing factor and also as a whitening agent. I was briefed by the staffs during that event about Cremorlab products. Most of them are equipped with anti-ageing and whitening factors aside from the hydrating factor. The T.E.N water (stands for Thermal water therapy, Eco energy, and Natural Nourishment) comes from a source of thermal water in Geumjin, a region in Korean's Gangwon Province. It exists during the Permian period of the Paleozoic era upon crustal movements. This T.E.N water is rich in minerals, and comes from pristine water sources of 1100 metres underground, which ability to give extreme hydration properties in cosmetics and skincare is undeniable.

Assalamualaikum and hello! Have you heard of Amante Nail Spa & Body Care?

Assalamualaikum and hello!

I think in my previous reviews I mentioned quite a few times that my skin had experienced a very bad acne outbreak from November 2013 till early 2014. I think I can blame it all on the hectic and stressful schedule of my final semester, a haywire eating schedule and a mess of unhealthy food intake. I also found out that since I hit 22, my skin has developed an allergic reaction towards excessive intake of cheese and processed food (i.e : canned pasta sauce). I used to have no problem eating cheese and carbonara as much as I want coz it does not make me gain any extra weight at all, but now it give me pimples (T_T) bye food. HAHA~

So the reason I'm making this post is to share with you guys some products I used (and still using now whenever needed) to help me with the acne/pimples outbreak. They are within my budget as a full time student and I am happy that all of them helped me in their own way. Seriously, having a face scattered with pimples is the worst nightmare of my life. This is because I already had my skin well taken care of after I used Yadah Bubble Deep Cleanser (reviewed here) and its Vitamin Toner and Vitamin Emulsion. I was so happy till the acne outbreak ruined my happiness and scarred  my confidence for one and a half semester. I don't have that much money to see a dermatologist as my best friend told me that the cost is kinda expensive because she always had to see one for her skin allergic. So without further ado, lets see what products I love to treat acne/pimples ^_^

I bought Mario Badescu Drying Cream from Luxola because the price there is way cheaper than what offered by our local Sephora. Plus Luxola seems to always have good sales so yeah, it is better to buy there :) As for the Ciracle Pimple Solution Pink Powder, I only bought it from HiShop but you can also get it from Muse by Watsons at Sunway Pyramid, the price is the same at both shops. Nexcare Acne Patch can be found at pharmacies/drugstores like Watsons and Guardian, while the tea tree oil I got here is obviously from The Body Shop. However you can get it cheaper than normal price if you look out for blog sales or at Carousell ;) I hope I have helped you guys to learn a bit on my favourite acne/pimple solutions and where to get them. If you have any further questions, just drop it at the comment section okay? I'd be happy to help ^_^

Share with me, what is your holy grail acne solution?

Assalamualaikum and Hello! I was tagged by my dearest Syaza from Bloobsblurbs to do this post, hehe! Basically it helps me to introduce you guys to 3 of my favourite Malaysian beauty bloggers. Please don't mistaken me by the choices I made here. I do read a lot of blogs, and every person has their own reason why "they choose this one over that one". So yeah, I'm gonna tell you why I love these three ladies and their blogs ^_^ check it out!

I have never met or talked to the owner of Street-Love, Fiona in person but I terribly respect her especially in her writings. Whenever I visited her blog, I found myself clicking links after links, her posts are contagious! I spent quite some time being her silent reader before I had the courage to start commenting. What I love so much about the blog Street Love is because of its extensive reviews on items, and Fiona is the type of person who will go in-depth to clear the haze surrounding a product that she writes about. She gives me the satisfaction as a reader, and she too is a major influence of what I bought or plan to buy. I even tell myself, if Fiona says it's okay then I can buy that thing XD Her stories sometimes are funny too, I dare say that this lady has the guts to spill whatever she thinks. She's not afraid to talk!

3) Shopaholic Anonymous

Okay, I want to admit that Arpita, the owner of Shopaholic Anonymous owns a gift that can make you spend money on things she promote, haha! She writes extensively too, and her unique writing style makes me never bother if that one post is as long as an academic paper's literature review. Her blog is another influence that makes me confident to buy anything if her review says it is okay. I found myself a skincare lover + hoarder not long after I started visiting her blog religiously. Another factor that hooks my heart to her blog is that the pictures on this blog is always 100% whatever the product is. I don't mean to say that everything looks like pictures from magazines. What I meant is, her pictures are always the type that I call "what you see is what you get" (I am not referring to the computer term of WYSIWYG okay). This is very important to me especially for makeup items as Shopaholic Anonymous never failed to show their true colours ;)

I actually have more than these to mention but since the rule here is only for 3, that will have to do for now. I guess I will continue making this post from time to time, to shout out on blogs I love so that everyone can give them a visit too ^_^ So yeah, I hope if you haven't visited these three awesome blogs, you can start scrolling up and down their pages now as I can say that these are among the most informative beauty blogs I love. They are consistent in posting (I must be like them!!) and your eyes will love what you see on their blogs ^_^ To end my post, I hereby tag three of my blogging comrades to share their 3 favourite blogs as well :p
