JQ Talks

Please excuse me while I scream and dance to my VERY FIRST DIOR! Just like your first kiss, it's a very big moment of my life to own my very first Dior item. Gosh, where do I begin. Heart racing, loud breathing, as if I was meeting the love of my life. Of course, Dior don't stand a chance against the current man in my life but the excitement was real. And oh, I probably wasn't thinking straight but I actually got myself two of the same but of different colour item. Yes, I've been using both the products and loving it! 

If you have been following me on Instagram, you would probably know that this post is totally overdue. Though, I still want to give this hair colour a shoutout because it definitely, yet surprisingly made me look so much younger. Funny how things work out right, it's grey and famously known as the granny hair trend but totally turned out a direct opposite for me. I looked freaking Asian (in a pretty way) and it somewhat took 5 years off me. Not that I'm complaining, I actually kinda miss this hair, mainly it's also easier to maintain. 

I'm absolutely digging the Fall look. There's something about the Fall season that attracts me. Probably it's a step closer to the holiday season as well as the gradual yet beautiful change in fashion and makeup trends.  For Shiseido, 2015 Autumn/Winter is all about the lashes. Getting that deep black voluminous lashes while pairing it with a dark lippie totally screams effortlessly chic! 

I was sent this a couple of months ago and it totally changed my blushing game. Well, I'm exaggerating for sure but I really have only good things to say about this brush! It's soft, it's dense, it's Muslim friendly, it's cruelty free, and most importantly it's a local product!

Evolving from the Stempower technology, one of my favourite skincare brand now ushers in a new generation of anti-aging skincare with R.N.A (Radical New Age) Power. This skincare includes the revolutionary Pitera x R.N.A Complex, which holistically targets the multi-controller of firmness, to achieve lengthwise firmness x crosswise firmness by rejuvenating skin cells and promoting structural protein synthesis in every cell, all layer of the skin. 

Have old bras that don't fit or just don't wear anymore? Great! Do drop by in one of the Neubodi specialty store near you to drop them off in the prepared Bra Bin. Don't trash them out because Neubodi's Bra Drive Campaign helps the women community in Nepal, India and Cambodia to improve their subpar living conditions. These trafficked women are able to make 5 times their minimum wages when they sell your donated bras in the second-hand clothing market, as bras are considered as luxury items and they are inaccessible within these regions. Personally, since the Neubodi Bra Drive started some time ago, I've always kept my unwanted bras aside just so that I can finally put them all into these Bra Bins. I even had a friend who passed me her old bra months ago (when she was cleaning out her closet) just for this campaign!

I've died and gone to compact heaven! Have you seen this? My heart literally stopped for a moment, I had to remind myself to breathe.  SK-II recently launched the new Enamel Radiant Cream Compact Foundation and the Artisan Perfecting Brush. It's made to provide moist radiant skin while achieving full coverage. 

Of all parts of the face, eyebrows have the power to express a different and new impression. All you've got to do is to give them shape and define them to give them the power to express. Shu Uemura's Shu Atelier newly defines natural eyebrows towards a fresh and exciting direction, it's 3D Brow Styling that provides natural volume and shadow to the brows.  We all know how famous is Shu Uemura's Hard Formula Eyebrow Pencil. It's definitely one of the best with its unique naginata-shaped tip, making drawing extremely precise. Plus, it takes a certain technique to sharpen these babies, as shown below.

This eyeliner was once raved by many beauty bloggers and at the same time, I had friends telling me that it's not as great as claimed. Thus, when they emailed me to try this out, I went meh... However, I've been really into matte brown liners lately because it oozes a more natural look than black. During the summer, I've been rocking really natural, minimal makeup all season. Not like Malaysia goes through four seasons but I just wanted to be somewhat in trend. Plus, since the beginning of 2015, all brands seem to be moving towards the whole dewy face Korean look. It focuses more on the skin texture and very basic eye looks. Thus, the whole brown eyeliner phase. 

This outfit is definitely bolder than what I usually wear because it has way too many cut-outs. Don't believe me, wait till you check out the back. It's.... bare... Lols. Thanks to Nivea Firming and Whitening Serum range, bare-back dresses just look extra attractive these days. This is a really pretty dress, super airy, suitable for Malaysia's hot and humid weather. Also, because it's such a flowy outfit, you can eat comfortably without worrying in showing too much tummy. So much win.
