Mieza Everdeen

Assalamualaikum and hello! This post was crafted after I read Wiida's post about her 2015 Favourite Spa Beauty Products. I feel the need of following her footsteps in writing such post because :

Being a full time working professional now, I admit that I feel the need to wear makeup every day. It is not to gain attention (duhh~) but it is a woman's thing to feel pretty and happy. I am comfortable with my own skin, I do go out without makeup nowadays but to work, I prefer presentable than plain ;) wearing makeup everyday needs me to take proper, meticulous care of my skin. Okay you can actually skip meticulous but me being myself, I like things to be thorough and knowing that I practice it makes me feel safe and happy. One don't actually need everything I list down here, it's more to my personal preference :)

Facial cleansing products
My go-to makeup removing products would be cleansing wipes and cleansing water. I have long been in love with Guardian's facial cleansing wipes but since I've talked about it then I'm not gonna repeat it here. Now I'm currently trying Purederm Argan Oil makeup remover cleansing towelettes that I got from Watsons at RM9.90 per pack. The wipe is large, it removes my makeup well but extra effort is needed for eye makeup, so I usually pour a few drops of Eucerin DermatoCLEAN Eye Makeup Remover on the wipe to remove my waterproof mascara and eyeliner. If I wore heavy makeup, then I'll start with Biore Perfect Cleansing Water as this one is a god when it comes to makeup removing. I say it is as good as Bifesta Cleansing Water (my other favourite).


When I have to use cotton pads with makeup removers and toners, my go to would definitely be Watsons side sealed facial puffs. This is the perfect cotton pads that does not disintegrate upon wiping, and guaranteed no cotton streaks left on your face. I have been using countless of boxes of this. 3 times a week, I will use a special cotton pad from The Face Shop for exfoliating (used along with my toner). It is the Green Tea Stone Therapy cotton pad, and it is not as harsh as Etude House's Wonder Pore Cotton Glove (this one is really painful on my skin). I am a cotton pad freak by the way, I love buying and trying different variants of them ;)


For facial cleansers, I'm quite lucky that my skin is quite immune to lots of them. Nothing much like a bad reaction over cleansers ever happened anyway except for dryness. I am now using Borneo Soap series as my facial cleanser. Since I am battling acne, I use Dabai Sarawak facial bar and for days where I'm staying at home and not using any makeup, I use Beras Bario Facial bar. So far, these two has been working great on my skin, and they never cause any dryness or tight feeling on my skin upon use. Love em!

Toner, serum, moisturizer
This is the skincare step that I have to admit that I'm very lazy to keep up with. Unmotivated at times due to tiredness XD I use my trusted Oxy Powder Lotion as toner, followed by the Illuminating Essence by Neesya Skincare, and then the amazing Neuxellence Jeunesse serum by Nuxe. As for moisturizers, I'm skipping from one to another as I have a truckload of them. What I'm using now are the Egyptian Magic Cream (before sleep), Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream (before going to work), and ocassionally I use Clinique's DDML+ and Moisture Surge when I am travelling and also L'Occitane Angelica Hydra Vital Gel and Cream when I'm in my hometown on weekends. These are all very good moisturizers and I really recommend them if you are looking for one :)


Mask & Exfoliator
I am also a mask collector. Sometimes I just bought them for the sake of feeling intrigued and later I only use them for a few times. I regret such impulsive buys XD as per now I am focusing on hydrating masks because my skin is very dry in the inside, making it produce more oil than normal. The only hydrating mask that I won't mind to have in my entire life is the Multiberry Yogurt Pack from Laneige. It smells so sweet, very cooling on my skin and it left my skin super supple and soft after use. It is quite light like a gel consistency when spread on skin. As for skin exfoliator, I have long skipped harsh beaded scrubs because I know that it doesn't do good to my skin. So I am now enjoying the comfort of rubbing Silky Renewal Gel from Shizens on my face every 3 days. So far, it left my skin feeling silky smooth after use (just like its name!) and visibly less clogged pores :)

These are all what I can think of to include right now as I don't want to overwhelm the length of this post. I hope that my sharing is helpful, and feel free to comment if you have anything to ask regarding what I'm using ^_^

Assalamualaikum and hello! I have been slacking on updates again. Part of it is because I was busy running back and forth from Melaka to KL and part of it is because as per now, I don't have internet connection at home yet, I have to wait for a few more days before Unifi is installed at my new rental house. 

Well here's a good news. I am finally employed ^_^ yeah this is gonna be my first professional occupation since I graduated. I am thrilled and nervous at the same time. I hope that my first job will be sweet, and I hope that I'll be really good in whatever I do. I also am in the middle of planning whether to continue my master or not. Offer letters has arrived and now I'm cracking my head to think of another big decision. Working and studying at the same time? Whew!

It is hard when I am leaving my family again. No, I am not running away from my family house. There is not many opportunity to get a job that suits my qualification in my hometown, so KL here I come. I wish I have that magic tent like in Harry Potter so I don't have to worry much about getting a proper house to rent on my own and then master the concealing spell so no Muggles or witch or wizards or Dementors can invade my privacy XD well, I'm gonna miss my cat Bob very much. I don't know how life would be without him, it must be painful. I'm gonna miss the comfort of home, where mom is always there to help me with anything and everything, where dad is always there to bring me anywhere I want to go, where my little sisters are always there to create a huge mess for me to clean up. 

Well I guess this is not the time to feel sad or down. It's time to move forward and be clear with my decisions. I am an adult now *in denial adult, to be exact* and I have to be more serious about building up my life, my career and map out my plans for future undertakings. Ok, I don't know what else to write. I'll come back when I have more interesting things to share :) thanks for reading! Bear with my lack of updates at the moment okay?
