Mieza Everdeen

Hands down, the best bb cushion I ever tried! I actually stopped having faith in Korean brand BB and CC creams as all they did to my face was get oxidized and turn ashy which is not pretty. But Laneige restored my faith and came out as my love at first try :) Though it is a tad problematic at first with my oily skin (it melted in aircond and kinda clogged on some skin areas) but then the problem went away (I dont know what caused it and what makes it okay again) but seriously, this Laneige BB Cushion Pore Control does the following to my skin :

This was bought by my brother before he came back from UK. Thanks bro I really love you to the moon and back! I wrote about it here if you wanna see what he got for me :) I am a sucker for toners and facial mists. When I can't get my toner, I bring a facial mist to refresh my face. Since this La-Roche Posay Serozinc is huge and it is insensible to chug it in my handbag, I only use it at home. After cleansing my face, I sprayed it on and I can say that I stopped getting little zits popping on my face within this month. I also don't get any face itchiness so, I'm loving this spray. I yet to check if it is available in Malaysia or not, but I got this after I saw Essie Button recommended it in her video ^_^ nice recommendation Essie, thank you for sharing!

This was a sponsored item by Ephyra and I'd like to tell them thank you so much for making me found my holy grail cleanser! I pray that Ephyra goes international and I want everyone in this world to try Ephyra Skin Bar. Seriously. Why I said that? Here goes :

If I only have one eye shadow to wear every day for the rest of my life, this would be it. So smooth, so pigmented, and it is my favourite shade of brown ^_^ it doesn't melt. It doesn't transfer, it doesn't crease no matter how hot the weather and how sweaty my face went. I have oily lids and by night, my eyeshadow still looks the same like it is freshly applied. Colourpop, I love you for creating this!

I applied the shadow with ZOEVA 232 Luxe Classic Shader and my finger, and I never regretted buying this ZOEVA brush simply because it works wonders! I used it in patting, brushing and blending motion and the outcome is perfect. Again, if you ask me to choose only 1 eyeshadow brush to go on for the rest of my life, ZOEVA 232 Luxe Classic Shader will be my choice. You have to get this brush. Get 10 of it, hahaha!

There are so many beautiful facts of this Face Luxe Brush. First, it was created by Sabrina Tajudin, my number 1 inspiration in many things. Second, the brush is so pretty I wish I can bring it to sleep coz I don't wanna leave it unattended on the table (I just made myself sounded like a maniac, I dont care). Third, this Breena Beauty Face Luxe Brush works with almost everything! I never found a brush that is this fluffy, easy to hold and miraculously buffed every type of products (you name it : liquid, cream, powder, everything!) flawlessly on my face. My face became a perfect canvas thanks to Breena Beauty Face Luxe Brush ^_^ I can never thank Sabrina enough for her wonderful job and I hope Breena Beauty will continue producing miracle-level brushes for women of the world!

Since I don't bring bottles of foundations or tubes of creams in my purse, I bring this LA Girl Pro-Conceal HD Concealer instead, hehe! I think it does not need any introduction as this is a worldwide HG product loved by many. I love it because apart from its ability to blend in perfectly without melting, creasing or looking splotchy throughout the day, I love the fact that it really does a very good job in the concealing department. It has many shades to choose from and I hope in the long run I'll be able to get a few more :) this is the ultimate saviour to fix my makeup, I say you should try LA Girl Pro-Conceal HD Concealer too.


7. Coolhijab : Organic Hair Serum
This product will have its own review post soon ^_^ Thanks to Halim for sending me this serum, I really can say that I found new love for my hijab-clad hair! This Coolhijab serum made my scalp feel like there is no weather too hot and being in air-conditioned surrounding resulted in my scalp feeling that there's ice running through it. When I get sweaty, my scalp didn't feel itchy at all (I have sensitive scalp) and when I arrived home at night, my hair didn't smell bad and it feels light and not even damp or limp. I think it would be suitable to everyone, doesn't matter whether you're wearing Hijab or not, this Coolhijab serum is definitely not an item to be missed ^_^ do contact me if you wanna buy it okay?

Love,

Mieza

Assalamualaikum and hello! November has been a month full of emotions for me. I graduated from UiTM after 3 years, went for several interviews, get back on track meeting my lovely Butterflies, and figuring out life, hahaha~ Blogging has been a bit slow for me lately, with no camera I can't do much. I seriously pray that God will bless me with a good camera soon. So, are you ready to see what I have been loving to the max last November? Here they are!

1. Laura Mercier High Coverage Concealer for Under Eye - my first specific under eye concealer. I've been battling with some sleepless nights so this concealer is definitely a great addition to my makeup routine. While it covers my panda eyes perfectly, this concealer is VERY thick and not easy to spread, making it crease easily if applied too much. It is wise to apply sparingly on a properly moisturized face ;)

2. Maybelline The Falsies Big Eye Mascara - Maybelline never fails to impress with their mascara, and this latest addition is da bomb! I love the fact that they came up with dual ended wand for top and bottom lashes. Honestly I never applied mascara on my bottom lash so when I tried this babe, I'm totally hooked! It curled my lashes well, the curl stays all day, easy to remove and it does not smudge.

3. Ronasutra Mineral Attraction 2-in-1 Foundation Powder - I have been using CC and BB creams a lot lately so I found myself applying this mineral powder foundation a lot to set my makeup. The coverage is medium to full but it feels amazingly lightweight. I tried using it with a fluffy powder brush but I found that the finished look is better when I use Ecotools Flat Top Bamboo Buffing brush.

4. Sleek Blush By 3 (Sugar) - When I first purchased this from Luxola, I said that I bought it because I wanna learn how to wear blusher as the truth is I am not a blusher fan. However when I tried the shade Muscovado from this palette, I found that it really helped to give my face a more defined look. So far, I really am in love with this one ^_^

5. Revlon Super Lustrous Matte Lipstick (006 Really Red) - It was not easy for me to find this shade, and when I did for the first time, I bought it. I have to say this is the best red matte lipstick I ever used. The red is just perfect for my skin tone, perfect to my liking and I found myself reaching for it more often than other reds. It is MY colour I guess?

6. Skin & Lab Glacial Clay Facial Mask - I bought this mask from Natta Cosme out of curiousity and I don't regret it, hehe! There is a tingling sensation during the first few minutes of wearing this mask, and it is laden with clay and tea tree fragrant. It gives a cooling effect to my skin and upon removal my skin felt smooth and brighter. I also found that when I use it twice a week, it kinda help my skin to become less oilier.

7. Yadah Bubble Deep Cleanser - This one does not need an introduction, everyone knows I am madly in love with Yadah Bubble Deep Cleanser so when I felt boring with other cleansers, I came back to this one, hehe! It is soooo refreshing!

8. Biore Perfect Cleansing Water - An alternative to Bifesta, as I love to keep my options wide ;) This cleansing water removes my makeup perfectly well, and it is very gentle to my skin. I like how it helps to moisturize my skin after cleansing so it allows me to plonk onto the bed after using it, which however I never tried because I practice double cleansing. 

Assalamualaikum and hello :) It's October now, and it's time for September favourites! I am now trying my best to share about my monthly favourites without fail, because I want my beloved readers to know about all the precious gems you can get that the world has to offer ^_^ I have been so quiet lately because I'm still not used to the fact that my brother is now so far away in the UK. I am really close to him, and I feel so lost and lonely when he's not around. All the time, I'm wondering how's he doing right there, what did he eat today, how he adjusts with the new environment and everything. Guess I'm worrying too much because he looks just fine when we chat on whatsapp and facebook. 

Right, let's get back to track :p For my September 2014 Favourites, I will be sharing quite a lot of things because I really love them and I have been using them quite religiously all these while. They're so good, they work so well and they all have my stamp of approval if you wanna get any of them, okay? Let's start!

Face Products 

1. Dr.G Perfect Pore Cover BB Cream

I received this BB cream from Shopgirl on her facebook giveaway :) at first I found that the consistency is too thick and I always seem to fail to be satisfied with it. However as days passed, I learned that having a skin properly prepped with moisturizer and blending with a good brush is the key to perfection with this Perfect Pore Cover BB cream. It gives a dewy and healthy complexion, and it has become my favourite to wear for work :)

2. Biore UV Perfect Face Milk

I bought this because sis Fyna from Fynahere said that this is an excellent base that won't make your skin turn oily. It is equipped with SPF 50+ PA+++ so yeah, it gives an excellent sun protection to me too as I realized that my skin does not get that tingling sensation when I'm directly exposed to sunlight. Most importantly, my face does not get oily at all ^_^

3. Hanaka Extremely Volcanic Mud Face Pack

I bought this solely on Shini's suggestion as she claimed that this mask helps her deal with her bad breakout skin before. I have been using it for a few months already, I wish I am more disciplined, hehe! This mask helps me when I have pimples on my face. It calms the redness and the pimple size won't grow bigger. This mask has never gave me any irritation either, I'm loving it!

Lip Products

1. Shizens Lip Painter

I bought this using the voucher I got from a blogging event with The Butterfly Project. Lip Painter is my first Shizens item along with their Silky Renewal Gel, and I have been loving both of them so much! I use this Lip Painter almost every day, and I found that the tint is superbly excellent that it stays from morning till night :) It made my lips look so healthily pink. I haven't used the gloss, because I don't like lip glosses. I must use it soon I guess? hehe

2. Etude House Kissful Tint Choux

I think my September was all about tints because I found myself reaching for lip tints the most. This Kissful Tint Choux was purchased when it was on sale, I got it far cheaper than the actual price and I wish I bought all colours available. It is so pigmented and very very useful if you are into gradient lips. It does not dry my lips and the colour too has a very high longevity.

3. In2It Lip Treat

I found that it is very hard to find a lip balm that really works on my lips. I bought this when I was still doing my first degree, because my roommate/best friend Mazlina Nina said that hers works so well. I love her so much for introducing this Lip Treat to me because it is indeed a worthy buy. It moisturizes my lips, gives a dash of colour and gloss to it and it makes my appearance a lot fresher. I reach for this Lip Treat all the time and it is a must-have in my handbag!

1. Etude House Play 101 Pencil #48

This is my second brown liner and I am glad that it works so well. I won it from Etude House Malaysia fb giveaway and I'm glad that they gave me this colour from all 50 shades they've got, hehe! This is a shimmery deep brown colour and it gave me a very pretty eye look as I wore it on my waterlines. It is also excellent on the eye lids, and it can be smudged to make a smokey eyeshadow as well. This pencil is best removed with oil-based makeup remover or baby oil as I found that using wet wipes alone is not enough. 

2. Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Pen Liner

This is the dupe to Benefit's They're Real Push-Up Liner. I own both so I can compare ;) I found myself reaching for this gel liner pen the most when I need the super black colour on my lids, as what I did for my green fairy post here. This pen gel liner is so easy to use, the gel does not dry in a jiffy like Benefit's (what a pain) and drawing flicks is so much easier with the shape of its tip. The only thing I wish was better is the material of this pen liner's tip. 

3. It's Skin Babyface Natural Eyebrow pencil

I am relatively new in this eyebrow drawing thingy, because all these while I never cared to shape it. My eyebrows are naturally thick and very black, but there still are spaces to fill in. I bought this Babyface Natural Eyebrow because of the liner's shape (triangular) and because it comes along with a spoolie brush. So far, I'm loving how this eyebrow pencil helps me make my eyebrows appear more neat, filled and defined. I still have to learn how to properly draw though :p

1. Ecotools Bamboo Buffing Brush
I have been loving this brush to apply powder/loose foundations on my face. It helps me not to get a cakey look (which easily happens when I'm using a sponge in a hurry). The bristles are so dense and soft, and the flat top makes application so easy that I got a smooth look in no time :)

2. CCM Flat Top Foundation Brush
I bet all of you have seen the abundance of new reviews surfacing about this brush along this week right? Well, I received this brush last year and it is by far my most favourite flat top foundation brush because of the excellent outcome it gave ^_^ Its handle is chubby and short, which is very friendly to my hand grip and I no longer hit the mirror with my brush handle. I am short-sighted so most of the time, I need to lean very very close to the mirror to see clearly. By using this CCM Flat Top Foundation brush, I manage to buff my foundation flawlessly and smoothly, and I don't even have to worry about it being too thick until I look like a plastered face. I'm planning to buy another 2 of this brush, hehe!

1. Anna Sui La Vie De Boheme EDT
I received this vial from a magazine and it has been sitting in my handbag for quite some time. I found myself trying and reaching for this EDT a lot especially at work because I just love how wonderful it smells, and it changes my sour, tired mood into a cheerful one ^_^ definitely gonna put this in my wishlist, I wanna get the full size!

So I guess that's all for my September 2014 Favourites :) If you did a post like this too, please leave your link in the comment section below coz I'd love to see what you've been enjoying this September okay? Thanks for reading and see you in the next post!

I bought this brush with Carolyn in a combined iHerb spree a few months ago but when it arrived, I was too busy to care about my makeup and tools so I admired it for quite some time before using it, hehe! I regret not trying it earlier because this brush is superbly fantastic! I get an airbrush-like canvas after using this brush whenever I put on my BB creams and foundations. I found that it works best if I spread the creams first on my skin, and then work on it with this RT Expert Face brush. I can say that I will not leave this brush if I were to go somewhere, it is a must have!

Another favourite from Clinique, which is my first cleansing balm purchased from Sephora. I did an extensive research before buying this because I wanna buy the cleansing balm that gets the most vote, which is this baby of course. Apart from falling in love with the purple packaging, the huge product size is also another reason why I bought this. I usually wipe off my makeup with a cleansing wipe first then I follow up with this Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. The balm melts like a thin oil consistency on my face and massaging it while waiting for makeup to dissolve is so enjoyable! It is super easy to wash off as well and I found my skin clean, fresh and soft. No breakouts too ^_^

I love this Po Bling Pore Ultrasonic Cleanser brush simply because it truly cleanses and does not hurt my skin at all even though it is a cleansing brush. The bristles are super soft, the sonic vibrations are relaxing and the effect is marvelous! I use this every night if I wear full makeup during the day because the micro fine brushes are effective to cleanse my pores. I just did the full review and hopefully you can benefit from it ;)

1. Guardian Facial Wipes

I have mentioned in my haul post before that Guardian facial wipes is my utmost favourite! It works magically well in cleansing my skin off the makeup. It doesn't contain alcohol and paraben, which is a plus point ;) My skin never got irritated while using it, and I also love the refreshing smell of the wipes. Get it at Guardian fellas!

3. Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation #56 

This is my first Bourjois product, which is the highly raved Healthy Mix foundation in shade 56 (Light Bronze). I bought it during Bourjois sale at Mysale.my along with another Bourjois mousse foundation. I'm soooo glad that the shade matches my skin tone perfectly, like it is tailored for me, haha! It blends like a dream onto my skin, and so far I only used my fingers to apply it. Did I tell you that it has a heavenly pleasant smell? Try it!

4. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain (full review)

With this balmstain, I kissed my lipsticks goodbye. Okay just kidding I can't kiss them goodbye but seriously, it is like a tube of magic! I bought 2 colors, red and orange during a Watsons' sale at discounted price. Both colors are my favourite, I always got torn between which to use (almost every day). Cooling effect, no drying of lips, perfect lasting stain on lips, oh what else a girl could ask from a good lip product ^_^

5. BCL Makemania Data Gel Eyeliner in Deep Brown (full review)

This baby stumbled into my life when I attended BCL Makemania Data Workshop. I am a sucker for great eyeliners, and I found that I'm more inclined to gel liners. Usually they're in pots, but an auto pencil liner is a girl's best friend! Like this one, there are black and brown but I love brown the most. The color is superbly pretty, it lasts on my waterline come rain or shine. I walked outdoor, get sweaty and also then walked in rain and when I get inside, the eyeliner is still in one perfect line, not even a smudge! Unbelievable isn't it, but it has proven itself worth to be owned ;)

Well, is there anything in particular that you'd like me to review? Drop your comments okay ^_^

What's your November favourite? Share with me!!
