Don't get me wrong, I love staying out for tons and tons of freedom but sometimes, we still need to go back to where we belong. Home may not be the most comfortable place on earth but it's where the heart is. This makeup tutorial uses load of products I've gotten from events in the past. I like to do makeup tutorials with new products not to show how creative my makeup is but it is more to show how the product looks like for you. Sometimes video is better than still pictures. So many times, you will see my tutorials are roughly the same old simple look. It really depends on what new product I have that time.

Heard of XALF? I don't think you even know how to pronounce it correctly... Xaxier Mah (left), Alfred Hor (right) I believe this brand is rather news to most of you because first of all, it is not a very commercial item that you can find it anywhere and secondly, it is an extremely high end product with a top-notch service.  Try pronouncing with me, "xa-a-al-fu....." XALF actually comes from the co-owners name of Xavier Mah and Alfred Hor. Met them once and they are extremely down to earth people. I love chatting with them. Both good-looking dudes are very much into cosmopolitan fashion and is currently working XALF as an online label catering to bespoke footwear that boast intricate details and meticulous workmanship. 

Hello! Don't my hair just look gorgeous?! I was loving it so much that I would just flip & flip & flip my hair all day long.  After 24 years of stem-cells research, the new Kerastase Initialiste is finally ready for the world! It is their first scalp and hair serum to impulse the growth of stronger, shinier, more youthful hair. With much thanks to Jess, I was invited to join her for a little pampering session at Razor Edge, One Utama a month ago.  Watch these videos to find out more about what this serum is all about.  Now you know truly what Initialiste is all about, we shall go into the application process.  Look at our unruly hair...... No, the flower & towel is not for me to bring home.... This 60ml product comes in a glass bottle that is relatively heavy with good grip. The cap and applicator tube seems solid and of good quality. Overall, packaging wise is a total A+, totally up to the standard of being a luxury

Say YES to Volume & NO to Clumps! New Clump Defy Volumising mascara allows you to saturate your lashes & build stroke upon stroke of mascara to achieve more volume while maintains a beautifully separated and defined lashes, with no clumps! No more compromising needed, no more needing to choose if you want volume or clump-free lashes! Seriously!

Okay, this review is long overdue but better late than never! A couple of months ago, I was invited to attend an official launch of the New Arty Professional cosmetic in Malaysia. This is a very famous brand in Thailand, I think. Anyway, I assume this Complexion Modifier is one of the 3 Complexion Modifier that they raved about. It comes in 3 shades, Lilac (to brighten dull skin), Mint Green (to neutralize redness) & Apricot (to correct blue to purple tones, may also be great for darker skin tone for brightening). I tried all three on the back on my hands and they are all extremely moisturizing as compared to other make-up bases I've tried. I think this is one of the product that I won from answering questions. So I got the Apricot for a detailed review. For some reason, I am very much attracted to the clear packaging that shows the cute little balls that looks like tiny fish eggs. Lols, okay maybe that sounded rather disgusting and you probably will not apply it on

Fuh, that's a long name! Thank God it just takes a short amount of time to dry and keep your manicure last longer without chipping. YES! It does live up to the claims and standard. This top coat works great or, I will say better than other anti-chip top coat that I have used in the past. Once, it almost kept my polish on prettily for almost 7 days until the first official chip. Well, okay, maybe, just maybe, I was kinder to my nails that week, not much of hard labour work that might cause early chipping. Still, it was awesome to have nice nails for the whole week. :)

One of the few things that my mom taught me is to not go cheapo on your bed. The mattress, comforter and pillows are three vital goods that will either make your sleep a great one or it will just break your back and neck. Everybody knows the importance of sleep. We need the rest after a long day at work, school or even partying, we are just humans anyway, playing hard is energy consuming too! So literally, everyone needs a comfortable bed equipped with a good quality mattress to support your body, a big sheet of warm-cuddly comforter for you to hide underneath when the lighting strikes and an amazing quality pillow to support your neck and head for a comfortable, great rest through the night. Now I am a proud owner of the Getha Transforme 360 Pillow which I've won from Churp-Churp some time back. The grand prize was LeeHom tickets but who cares now that I can have a good sleep dreaming about him. Haha!

I love yogurt, especially berries flavored yogurt but I'm not of a plain yogurt type. A lot of times I do realized that hotel breakfast or buffet spread only have plain or maybe there's just more plain yogurt leftover if you are late for the food. Most of the time I won't grab it unless I managed to spot on a couple condiments to go with it.  It is a 100% yes if I see strawberry jam or honey. While other flavor is just so-so, I may even choose to skip having yogurt because of that. I will mix the jam into my yogurt to add flavor.  I also love dried fruits especially raisin, mango and apricot but I don't prefer them much being mixed into my yogurt.  This time, I'm mixing my favorite flavor jam. I was in Kijal for work 2 weeks back and the breakfast spread was just awesome. :)

The bold color of passion, love, bravery and so much more.  Red defines it all.  We were always told that every girl should have at least 1 red lipstick in their makeup collection because not only it helps to make you look made up during those lazy days but also, it is perfect for seduction. The toughest part is not applying them but is the energy spent on looking for the perfect red shade for your skin tone. Trust me, not every red color suits us. Even me being fair, I have some red that I just can't pull off.
