TheBalm Nude Dude Palette Review

Hi everyone! First of all, SASA IS HAVING A WAREHOUSE SALE up to 70% off! My friend went there today so I asked her to buy me the Nude Dude Palette. The original price of this palette is RM155 but I got it for RM50! All the palettes are either RM50 or RM60 and the blush, bronzer, and Mary-Lou Manizer are RM30 only! Maybelline and L’Oreal have a buy 1 free 1 promotion so you guys really need to check it out! The promotion is until August 31st only and everything is selling out super fast. I was contemplating between Nude Tude and Nude Dude but I went with Nude Dude because I didn’t like the white (Sassy) and yellow (Snobby) shades in Nude Tude and that’s two shades gone already. I like the rosy and brown shades in Nude Dude palette as those are the shades I’m always geared towards. Both palettes are beautiful in my opinion but unlike Nude Tude, I like all the shades in Nude Dude palette. (My mom swatched some …

Living Without Glasses

Hi everyone. In one of my Erin talks posts a few months ago, I mentioned that I broke my prescription eyeglasses. You see, I have been wearing glasses since I was merely 9 years old. I was born with a perfectly pair of eyes and somehow at 9 years old I found a way to ruin them by reading in the dark and spending so much time with gadgets. At home, my glasses are my best friend as I like to be comfortable at all time so wearing contact lens is not what I prefer. I haven’t gotten a new one made yet so I have been living with contact lens for two months. I can hear all of you specky gasping as you’re reading this. Yes, I’m living off of contact lens. I have forgotten what it felt like to wear glasses but I must say that contact lens is not that bad either. I mean, wearing contact lens instead of glasses instantly makes me look somewhat decent. I hate how I look like with …

5 Types of Blog Posts That Turn Me Off

Hi everyone. Today I’m going to talk about the types of blog posts that I don’t read. Now, I’m not saying what you should or shouldn’t post because it’s your blog and you have the complete authority to do whatever you want with your blog. However, there are some posts that I couldn’t be bothered to read and I’m sure some of you can relate to what I feel about them. Again, I am in no way throwing shades at other bloggers, this is just my opinion from what I observe in my many years of blogging. “HEY LOOK AT MY NUFFNANG INCOME” POSTS I am sure all of you know what Nuffnang is by now. It’s a blog advertising company where we can make money from putting advertisements on our blog. Though I don’t particularly like putting ads on my blog, I do not mind if you do because let’s be real here — we all need money and if you can make money from blogging, I don’t see why not. I make money …

My Favourite Nude Lipsticks

Hi everyone. Today I’m going to talk about my favourite nude lipsticks. If you’ve been reading my blog since I started blogging, you would know all of the lipsticks I will be mentioning below because I talked about them a lot in my previous posts. Nude lipsticks are super popular right now and I’m joining the bandwagon, gals. I personally think that brown nudes suit my skin tone better than pink nudes because pinks make me look pale. You gotta try different shades of nudes to find the perfect one for you. The MAC Mineralize Rich Lipstick in Glamour Era was my favourite brownish nude (it looks brown on me but quite pinkish on certain skin tone). It’s very moisturising and hydrating which won’t crack and dry the heck out of your lips. What I really like about it is it doesn’t completely rubbed off after a whole day and it gives me a nice colour on my lips. The dupe for Glamour Era is SimplySiti Simply Elegant Ultra Moist Lipstick in Muara Hati which I …

My Blogging Essentials

Hi everyone. Today I’m going to talk about my blogging essentials aka everything I need for my blog. I take blogging seriously and I don’t mind spending money on it to make it like how I envision it to be. These are the things that I need for my blog and I hope this post will be useful for you because I like sharing things I know that might help other people out there. The Computer Of course, you need a computer to blog. I do not like using smartphones or tablets to blog because I can do so much more with a computer that smartphones and tablets can’t do. My trusty ol’ MacBook Pro that I got 4 years ago is my best friend and I don’t know what I’m going to do without it. Plus, everything looks a lot smoother on MacBook. I especially love how my blog looks like on this screen and this computer is definitely one of my most worth it purchases ever. The browser I’m currently using is Opera. …

TheBalm Mary-Lou Manizer Review

Hi everyone. TheBalm Mary-Lou Manizer has been in my wish list for the longest time but every time I tried to purchase one at Sasa, they were always out of stock. But today I went to Sasa IOI City Mall and they still have 6 (5 now because I got one!) Mary-Lou left! The sales assistant said that so many people are buying this highlighter thanks to the beauty community who can not stop raving about this product. The original price is RM89 but Sasa is having a sale right now (August 2016) so you can get it for 10% off or purchase 2nd item from any participating brands and get it for 20% off! So I ended up paying RM75 with it + two packs of wet tissue as my 2nd item. It comes in a silver plastic case and a huge mirror which I am thankful for. You get 8.5g of product and honestly that can last you for years! With highlighting, you don’t need that much product for that awesome glow. I …
