Precious Mineral BB Cream

My first BB cream was a discounted item that I got during Christmas sale and it has been the best purchase I have made in my life. When I first put them on my skin, it feels really different from other foundation or two-way cakes I have used before. It's effortless, weightless and soft. The best part is that you only need a small amount to spread them over even the texture is light. 

If you are worried about your skin type, BB cream are made to cater to all types of skin. Even if you have scars or freckles, BB cream works like magic to conceal it and it will give you that beautiful flawless radiant glow and trust me, people will start giving you remarks such as these:

" Wah berseri-seri dia macam pengantin"

" OMG! So, that collagen actually works!"

"Someone got lucky last night!" (Ahahaha ok not funny!)

If any of you don't know what is BB cream, it is an all-in-one facial cosmetic product to replace moisturizer, serum, primer and foundation and sunblock. All in tube. This thing is such a multi-tasker! 

If you are wondering which brand I am using for my BB cream, I personally choose Etude (Korean brand) and the range that I used is called Precious Mineral BB Cream with SPF 30!

Why Korean brand over any other brands from the western countries? 

Korean celebrities seem to be blessed with naturally flawless skin, (watch K-Drama a lot!). I got to know that they are able to maintain their beautiful skin with the help of BB cream. BB cream was already in the beauty industry in the 60s from Germany and it is actually used to heal scars cause by laser skin surgery. Then it started to spread in Korea and Japan, and it has been raved amongst famous Korean actresses. So yeah, kami pun ter-beli la!

See what television has made me. Shame on me!

I've used Dior and Revlon BB cream before but don't think will buy it again. A bit too thick and I can feel the weight of the foundation on my face. Remember that BB cream is not supposed to even weight as foundation, if you know what I mean.

The price range from RM 89 - 99 and you can get it at any Etude Beauty House in Malaysia. Not overly expensive for all in one product. I experienced no breakouts using it and it's really convenient for travelling or if you are always in a hurry. 

Thumbs up from me. 

This could come up as a perasan picture but I definitely feel that my skin is actually glowing. When you get the desired complexion, it means the BB Cream takes effect. 

So much of my K-Drama influence eh? 

Badgley Mischka Shoes for Sale

Heartbroken.

Bummer. 


I have to sell my first ever Badgley Mischka's shoes because I could not fit in it. This is my first time buying shoes from the US and clearly, I was not aware of their shoe sizes conversion. I didn't have the time to check the conversion chart (yeah, alasannnnn!) and a friend was in Bloomingdales already when she messaged asking for my size while I was in class. Dang. It was not her fault at all as she has been such a sweetheart even to help me buy one. I just wish I did some research first. Lesson learned!

Anyway, this lovely pair of shoes is was meant to be worn during one of my wedding ceremony and it is also one of the hantaran gifts from Mr. Z. The pair is charming. So charming I feel like crying. Ahahaha. Ok jokes and drama aside, here's a picture of it. 

These are clearer pictures from the internet.

Name: Badgley Mishcka- Lacie Pump

Size: US 7/ UK 5/ Europe 37.5

Colour: Pewter (some sort of like metallic silver)

Heel height: 3 inches

Made of: Leather upper, lining and sole

Design: Open peep toe with crystal ornament at toe

Price: RM 700 (bought it at RM 760) - negotiable!

Condition: New from the shop. Just arrived to my hands on 11 February 2012.

Such a divine pair of shoes. I love it so much but I have to let it go because no one in my family can fit in it. We are no Cinderella. Here's a picture of it under my care.

With the box and dust bag. Perfecto.

Jakarta Textile Madness

Jakarta will always bring out the worse in me. Especially in shopping.

Wah, pi shopping sampai Jakarta? Kelaassss uollss. Teeettttt.

No laaaa. 

I went to Jakarta to get materials and other necessary stuff for my wedding. It's way way way cheaper and with the expenses of supir (driver), accommodation for 3 nights and flight tickets for four (we flew by KLM), it is still waaaayy cheaper than buying materials in KL. 

Totally worth it when you have such gigantic family like me. And most of them are girls. Semua pun kena beli. And they refuse to repeat baju lama. -__-

1. Dulang boys - check

2. Dulang girls - check pending

3. Sisters' and Aiman's materials for all four events - check

4. Mom's and Dad's - check

5. Pengapit Zaim - check (for two events, need another two)

6. Pengapit saya - check (two also)

7. Nikah material - check 

8. Reception - pending

9. Qhatam Quran - pending

10. Martha Tilaar Spa (mandi susu, lulur, massage)- check

11. Wedding Invitation cards - pending

12. Telekung hantaran - check

Many people would say, "ohh it's your wedding and you want to compromise on the quality of the materials bla bla? Spend lebih sikit pun takpe asalkan bagus. Kat KL cukup." WTH? I'm not compromising on anything here my dear. You want to talk about quality? It is as good as the one we saw in Gedung Kain J or G (yunowataimin kan?). And some are even better. So, yeah. It's not even a win-lose situation here. It's totally a win-win.

Satisfied.

This is only the first round. I don't know how many rounds I have to make to get everything done. Kena tinggal situ sebulan kot. Round two will be soon.

 Elie Saab's lace. Hhhmm.

This one is Christian Dior. Tak beli pun.

Mana gambar I?

Sorry I serabai. Serabut. Bye.

Wish List 4 - THE Organizer

Call me crazy or whatsoever, but I want all of these organizers. One thing about me people should know about, I am an all time crazy freak about notebooks and organizers. I have two organizers (small and big) and I write the same things in both of them. Call me redundant but I don’t care. There’s nothing better than writing in your own organizer, your list, things-to-do, traveling plans, financial budget and many more. Even my Blackberry comes second for this matter. To me, my organizer is my Personal ‘Digital’ Assistant. Can I have this for my 2011 agendas?

I wannnnttt!!!

Aren't they the greatest? So practical. Pfft.

Yeah I know, I know.. there's a tint of superficiality in liking this type of organizers because there are other cheaper brands and more practical (and cheaper!) than these gorgeous Symthson and Louis Vuitton.

Girls just love beautiful things, don't they?

Wish List 3 - Neverfull

The thing is about me, I don't like blogs that has no pictures. I'm a sucker for visual images, hence my major in Multimodal Analysis. (Ok, poyo). So, minta maaf banyak-banyak ye to those who are suckers for more words. Unfortunately, it ain't me. I think I expressed better with pictures!

Oh by the way, which one suits me best?

LV Neverfull Damier

or

LV Neverfull Damier Azur

Ok, berangan aje. Kalau duit jatuh dari langit, I'll buy for you people ok?

Over and out.

Oh My Chanel!

Chanel's Rai$ing Handbag Prices

If you had your eye on a Chanel handbag, buy it now because prices are about to go up!

Experts say the French fashion house has plans to increase their pricing on classic style handbags as much as 20%. The Chanel gurus blame the rising demand and the difficult manufacturing process for the price hike.

Kind of a bad time to be raising prices, especially when the luxury market is slowly showing some improvements.

Thoughts???

AREN'T THEY GORGEOUS? 

Chanel is already bloody expensive and they decided to raise the price up?

But, it's Chanel anyways. One can never manufactured a low range Chanel. It won't be Chanel then.

Ok, bimbo moment.
