Perfect chance to get my Benefit POREfessional backup! I texted my partner-in-crime Fenelon about the sales, telling her I've changed my mine and we are going shopping!

My shopping partner :)

Got my Benefit the POREfessional primer and Soap & Glory Clean On Me Clarifying Shower Gel from Sephora...

We spent most of our time at Sephora trying on lipsticks!

Too Faced Fuchsia Shock on me and Too Faced Stiletto Red on Fenelon. We adore bright lips!

Tried on this super bright and summery dress at H&M. Kinda regret now. I should get it. It's only RM39.90!!!

Got these necklaces from H&M. 3 necklaces from RM49.90, not too bad right?

Headed to 1Utama after Paradigm Mall. Got some skincare samples from Origins and Kiehl's.

We were craving frozen yogurt, so we decided to have Moo Moo, I mean Moo Cow (Moo Moo does sounds cuter~)! I had sour plum flavored with oat meal topping and Fenelon had original with chocolate chips. The cashier was like "WHAT?!!!" when I said I want oat meal topping for my sour plum flavored yogurt, but trust me, it's really good!

Mamalia the cow as background! 

Om-nom-nom~~~

Irene the owl!

Saw the exact same dress that my dear bought for me at Zara. 

Tried on the dress in size XS. XS fits me quite well, but it's still slightly big for me. The dress looks really pretty on. How good if I can exchange mine here :(

Fenelon got Russian Red lipstick from MAC. We own the same lipstick now wheee~~~I still can't believe this is her first red lipstick!!!

We were craving salmon. We decided to have our dinner at Sushi Zanmai. Salmon feast~~~

Salmon don for both of us.

Hot and cold green tea.

Sushi~~~

After the satisfying dinner, we headed back to MAC again because I need to get a red lip liner to pair with my Russian Red lipstick. I was planning to get Cherry but the MAC makeup artist recommended me to get the Pro Longwear Lip Liner in Kiss Me Quick instead because it is more long lasting and smudge prove. He recommended me their Pro Longwear Eye Liner too. He drew the eye liner on the back of his hand, put some water on it, tried to smudge it with his finger and the eye liner still stay strong and doesn't smudge at all. I was impressed. I got it in Black Ice since I need a black eye liner.

We shopped till 10pm. MAC was closing when we left haha. That ended our tiring and satisfying shopping day!

I received an email from Laura Mercier telling me I've won a Loose Setting Powder in their recent contest. I randomly sent in an email to participate their facebook page contest the other day and I kinda forgot about it already. How lucky I am. Thank you Laura Mercier!

XOXO,

May 10, 2013 ♥

My doctor in Ipoh Specialist Hospital diagnosed me with vocal cord nodules. He recommended me a doctor in Hospital UKM Cheras. I finally went there with my parents yesterday. Unfortunately, the doctor I'm looking for is only available on Wednesday for private consultation session (I went for private session because appointment for government session requires really long waiting time! Maybe for weeks, or even for months!!!). So I made my appointment and will need to go back again next week.

After that, we went to Paradigm Mall for lunch and did some little shopping since my dad need to meet his friend there. We had Ramen for lunch at Goku Raku Ramen. We ordered two large bowls of Ramen to share and three of us can't even finish two Ramen haha. Their Ramen soup is too rich and thick for my liking. You will like it if you like Ramen with thicker soup.

After lunch, it's shopping time! 

 

Today's Sephora haul! Got double points on this purchased and the Sephora body lotion as birthday gifts from Sephora! (supposed to be Sephora Mini Make Up Palette Bag instead of Sephora body lotion, but they don't have stock anymore :'( )

- 2xSoap & Glory The Scrub Of Your Life (I've finished up a small size one and I love it so much. By far the best body scrub that I've ever use. Bought two because my mom want to try it too!)

- Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash (Mama bought this new body wash. Smells very refreshing and nice, very citrusy lemony. I want to try this after I finish my Soap & Glory Clean On Me Clarifying Shower Gel which I adore!)

- 2xToo Faced La Creme Color Drenched Lip Cream in the color Spice Spice Baby (Me and mom got the same lipstick in the same color! I've been wanting this lipstick for a long time. The texture of this lipstick is so creamy, it feels super nice on the lips. Spice Spice Baby is the perfect MLBB shade for everyday use. Love it!)

I got my 3rd McDonald's Hello Kitty! Can't wait to get the 4th one next week to complete my collection. Thank you my senior Qi Xin for helping me to get the 2nd one :)

When I woke up in the morning today, my mom told me that my parcel is finally here before I even ask. I was so excited when I saw it.

How To Look The Best At Everything ♥

How To Look The Best At Everything Flawless Complexion Makeup Kit in Light

This is the second makeup kit I got from Benefit Cosmetics. I love the idea of these cute looking Benefit's makeup kits that allow me to try out several products at once to see whether I love it enough and willing to spend on full size instead of heading out and spend lotsa money to get everything and end up I don't like them at all.

First of all, how lovely is the packaging, it looks like a little book, how cute! I know I'm gonna get it when I first saw it. I'm a sucker for cute stuff like this, plus I always want to try Benefit's famous base products after all the hype I heard, so this is the perfect opportunity. This kit contains everything that you need for your everyday face makeup, primer, foundation, concealers, powder, as well as a mirror and brush. I got it in Light (available in Fair, Light, Medium & Deep) and it matches me perfectly (fyi I'm around NC25).

The Light kit contains :
- 0.25 oz The POREfessional
- 0.23 oz Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow SPF 25 PA+++ in "Cheers To Me" Champagne
- 2 x 0.05 oz Boi-ing in 01 and 02
- 0.14 oz "Hello Flawless!" in "Me, Vain?" Champagne

- a mini powder brush (that I don't really use)

HUGE Mirror!

Tips & Tricks!

"Cheers To Me" Champagne

Boi-ing 01 & 02

the POREfessional

I'm using everything from this little kit pretty much everytime I do my makeup since I got it. Let's talk about the very famous The POREfessional primer first. This is one of those typical silicone balmy feeling primer that claim to minimize the appearance of pores. I like to apply my Laura Mercier Oil Free Primer on my whole face first then I'll layer the POREfessional on my POREblematic areas which are my T-zone and cheeks. It makes my foundation application goes on smoother and do minimize the appearance of my pores (less visible, not disappear obviously lol).

After I prime my face, I'll then apply the Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow SPF 25 PA+++ with my Real Tecniques Buffing Brush. I tried to apply with just my fingers once and it blends pretty well but I prefer the look that I achieved by using the Buffing Brush, it blends like heaven and looks much more natural and flawless. I'll definitely get a full size of this foundation after I finish this little miniature size. It quickly became my new favorite liquid foundation now. I love the light consistency of this foundation and the dewy but not oily looking finish, it makes my face looks much more healthy. It claims to be light to medium coverage but I think the coverage is pretty decent, and I love how it blends really well and never gets cakey, It does not dry quickly so you can take your time to blend in the foundation unlike my Estee Lauder Double Wear that need to work quickly (I still love my ELDW though). A big thumbs up for this awesome product. A great everyday foundation.

After foundation, it's time to conceal any imperfections that left on my face with the Boi-ing concealers duo. To be honest, I didn't like this product that much. It feels greasy on my face but it makes my under eyes look cakey too!  I don't think it worth the hype and I'm not impressed. I'll be going back to my HG concealer, the Laura Mercier Secret Camouflouge, it covers up blemishes, scars, as well as under eyes circles really well. 

After all the hard work done, I'll dust on the Hello Flawless! powder with my regular powder brush (M.A.C 129) to set everything. I love this powder and I think it works really well together with the Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow SPF25 PA+++. It feels silky and soft and I love that it is in compact form, great for days when I don't feel like using loose powder that can cause a mess! It mattify and set my makeup without looking too overdone and powdery. It is a powder foundation so you can definitely use it on its own. I haven't try it on its own yet so I'm not sure how it performs as a powder foundation but it works wonder as a setting powder. The only downside is I wish the powder is in separate packaging that can be removed from the box instead of attached to the box like other products from the kit, it is more handy and easy to use and carry in this way.

Love Love Love this kit! I'm glad the Light kit matches my skin tone perfectly. I can't decide between Light and Medium. This kit is a great way of trying four different products from Benefit in a good value. Looking forward to more awesome kits like this from Benefit Cosmetics since I love both of mine so much (feelin' Dandy & this). 

How To Look The Best At Everything retail for RM115 and available at Sephora and all Benefit

M.A.C Mineralize Blush in Dainty ♥

I've been hunting for a great natural looking pink blush for quite sometimes. 

I went into a M.A.C store randomly last two weeks and finally decided to give the Mineralize Blush in 'Dainty' a try since the makeup artist in M.A.C recommended it and I found it looks pretty much what I'm looking for in the pan.

M.A.C describes the colour as as light yellow pink with gold shimmer, the description is pretty much what the blush about. 

I'm happy with my purchased so far. It looks very natural on the cheeks with very settle shimmer. It add a gorgeous sheen onto my cheeks without looking too overdone. It is much more pigmented than I thought, a little goes a long way so remember to tap the excess off and apply with light hand, build it up as you wish to. 

the Christmasy paper bag makes me feel happy and warm! 

Overall, I think Dainty is a great everyday blush to add a touch of colour for my skintone (around NC25). I love it so far.

M.A.C Mineralize Blush retail for RM100/3.5g and available at all M.A.C stores.
