Review : Sexylook Hello Kitty Strawberry Perfect Hydrating Mask

Hello lovelies.
Due to the crammed up schedule i have right now, beauty on the go is important to me! Staying up till the wee hours daily for 2 weeks has taken a toll on my skin. Its very dull looking with horrid dark circles! I've been trying a new series of mask from Sexylook and it's pretty great so far!

Sexylook had recently launched a new series of mask - Hello Kitty Perfect Hydrating Mask.
How cute can that be :3

It contains strawberry essence to help tighten up large visible pores; Collagen and royal jelly essence to keep the skin hydrated for the soft dewy complexion.

Left :before, Right: After.( haha face shape look different due to angle problems LOL)

Verdict:
Surprisingly it does brighten my skin a lil. What i love most about the mask is the scent! my oh my, its smelt so nice like strawberry macaroon that makes me so hungry .tsktsk.My skin felt supple instantly as well . A good on the go mask!

* Its a leave on mask, thus no rinsing is required. Just pat the remaining essence into the face. Additionally, if you're busy to wait for the essence to be fully absorb into the skin. try using a hairdryer.ON COLD MODE. it promotes absorption and increase blood circulation !

Hello Kitty Strawberry Perfect Hydrating Mask is available at selected Watsons stores and on www.secretive.sg for $10.90 (box of 5 pieces).

Movie Review :ATM (Er Rak Error)

Thanks to omy.sg for giving me an opportunity to watch this Thai movie preview before anybody else in Sg :3
Brought B along to enjoy ATM (Er Rak Error) with me and oh boy, I'm really glad i made the right choice! I've been a fan of thai romance comedy ever since I watched Hello Stranger with XY ( the male lead is so cute), Crazy little thing called love (first love) and Bangkok Traffic Love Story. All these are some famous Thai romance comedy that's quite popular, please watch it if you havent do so . Especially Crazy Little Thing Called Love (First Love) it's still my favourite thai movie.

ATM (Er Rak Error)

Synopsis:

 Sua (Ter - Chantavit Dhnasevi) and Jib (Ice – Preechaya Pongthananikorn) are like any other couple in this world except for one exception: for the past few years they have kept their relationship a secret since the bank where they are employed has a strict “Non-Fraternization” policy.

It’s not a big deal until they decide to get married. The only problem? Which one of these two  overachievers will put marriage before a career and resign? With neither willing to take the leap of faith they both turn incident into opportunity when an ATM glitch in Chonburi province cashes out over $130,000 baht.

The terms are simple: whoever is able to recover the money first gets to keep their jo but of course there are things that happens in between !

To be honest, the movie is surprisingly entertaining and its really really funny! I cant stop laughing throughout the movie. They make each character so hilarious, well, i wouldn't want to say much, watch it for yourself. You will not regret it :)

Female lead is very pretty, even though her nose is  fake. Nevertheless. still pretty

This is one of my favourite scene because its the moment where the couple wanted to resolve their issues (temporarily) yet they let the pride get into their way.

BTW, he;s the same guy from Hello Stranger LD

Felt really awesome after watching the movie because it made me realize how fortunate i am to have B right by my side for anything . heh.

Till then,XOXO

Why I blog about my life selectively.

 

Recently I've received an email from an avid reader of mine, who commented that I don't blog about my feelings anymore. She prefer the old me, where I'll share my feelings online ,connect with the audience and according to her, my site is very "sunny" right now. I knew exactly where she was coming from, but my answer is still NO. I will not share my inner feelings on this site, where there's so many people whom i don't know is reading. I'm an open book by nature, I like to share, I like to talk about things, I expressed myself very well but to only people I know. All my friends can guess what I'm thinking so well, I'm too predictable. The cons of an "open-book" girl I guess.  

My site is not an escape, why yes, sometimes it is, but i will not go on ranting about how difficult life is and what's bothering me because there's always people who experience it way worst than me .I don't want to sound like a brat that I already am. Frankly, I don't think anybody care whether or not I do well on my daily basis, or who pissed me off today yadayada... and I'm confident that ranting without reason simply isn't the way to go. In my opinion, internet is definitely not the perfect platform to rant about getting mad at school work/two faced bitches/etc. It is not necessary to bash them on twitter/fb/blog. 

Sometimes I do curse on FB to get that frustration off, because 95% of the people in my FB are people I DO know and I feel comfortable doing so. I find it embarrassing to go on ranting about frustration on social media sites (not needed publicity) , thus , I don’t reach for my computer when I'm upset, I reach for the phone .i talk to my parents, my friends and B.Why put all that negative energy out there on the Internet if it isn't necessary?

I do have days that i feel horrendously emotional. I have my challenges to face in life but that's what makes up life isn't it? You learn from everything regardless of making the correct choices or not. 

This site will always be a positive place, something true to my heart as well. I’m very optimistic and cheerful, with the occasional melancholy which is what this blog of mine will always be.

Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion: Review

When i have stop updating this site of mine, it’s pretty obvious that school has started and the inevitable HIAtus is back again. I am so tired and i keep getting sick all the time( 4th time within a month ). On top of that I felt like I couldn't get enough sleep each night; I'm exhilarated that its weekend right now and it will be filled with naps and non-tedious work. YAY! I should really work on my time management skills tho. tsktsktsk.

Anyway , Laneige had recently launched a new foundation - Snow BB Soothing Cushion. It's an ingenious product by making  bb cream in a compact!

Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion is a unique BB with advanced formulation to help women freshen up quickly and providing protection for the skin under the hot blazing sun. Among some of its unique functions are brightening and whitening effects on the skin, sun protection with SPF 50+ PA+++, providing a refreshing and cooling sensation, evening out skin tone, and gives a longer lasting makeup.

Thee special features of this product:-

1. Contains White Plus Renew Complex™ for brighter clearer skin.
2. Formulated with SPF50+ PA+++ that blocks a broad specturm of UV rays.
3. Reduces skin temperature by 3° and refreshes skin after a hot day. A lower skin temperature is ideal for touch-ups and reapplication of make-up. Its unique feature enables it to retain moisture up to 30% more than an average BB.
4. Sweat-proof formula and elastic network of high-molecular liquid that forms an elastic barrier to block perspiration and sebum on the surface of the skin.

 I'm using Natural Beige.To be honest, I'm surprised when i open the lid(not in a good way ). It looks like a sponge ,like the sponge for stamps!

Left is before the application, i got nothing on my face,not even my brows are drawn .Dark circles are not very obvious in pictures,but it's horrid in real life.
Right, after application of the product in targeted areas (undereyes,redness around the nose, T-zone) .

If you have good skin,flaunt it! Dont cover everything with layers of foundation/BB cream.

Before

After. I took this after a whole day at school!

 As usual i will give product a month trial and medium coverage works well on me, because I'll always apply a layer of loose powder after to set the product. What i love about this product besides the fact that it stays on almost the entire day plus a lunch in food court is the fact that i do feel the cooling sensation upon applying the product!

 I love this product because it's easy to use, light weight and awesome staying power!The downside of this product is, I'm not sure how long can the compact last because it's sponge with liquid in it. I'm afraid it may dry up as i leave it unused for too long!

Caring for sponge:
Wash in lukewarm water with olive oil/cleansing oil (that's my preference)to wash.Rinse thoroughly until the detergent is washed away, squeeze out moisture and dry completely in cool, dry place.
Price: SGD 59

Shades: Natural Beige, Sand Beige, Brown Beige.

Cambridge 15" Batchel Review (Purple)

Finally my perfectly stunning British IT bag has arrived. I'm so happy that i cant stop smiling.The touch, texture and scent of leather is just heavenly.Best of all, it has my initials embossed on it.*swoons*

The British Cambridge Satchel Company was founded in 2008 by Julie Deane and her mother Freda Thomas.  The design of the handmade leather satchels is based on an original Oxford and Cambridge satchel design and that was originally aimed at school children.To be exact, she couldn't find the perfect satchel bag for her daughter and wham! she created one of the British It bag.  CSC was featured on Gossipgirl and uncountable celebs have been using it!The moment i saw the 11" purple satchel is featured in Gossipgirl ,I've fallen in love with it.I tried to brush this obsession of thinking that i will get over it soon. I'm so wrong about it. After reading it on BagaholicBoy and searching it up on lookbook.nu . I cant stop thinking about this bag, I WANT IT , I NEED IT .

The biggest problem i encouter besides the array of colours to choose from, is the size. I wanted a bag for school and I'm not sure what is the perfect size.

 My customized 15" Cambridge Batchel in purple.  I'm totally in love with this colour and the handy little carry is just perfect. The front pocket is perfect for my wallet, card holder, tissues and keys.

Each letter cost £5. The bag is really sturdy and hard with a working buckle, unlike those magnetic clasps buckle. Some may find it troublesome but i'm perfectly fine with it because it's one of their unique selling point.
Interior of the bags are not line . Donty worry, its really smooth inside!!

What's in my school bag :
1 ) must have planner. I'm old fashioned that way
2 ) lecture & tutorial notes
3 ) Umbrella
4 ) Water Bottle
5 ) I call it the Misc. pouch. (it contained meds/eye drops/rubberbands and whats not)
6 ) Itouch & iphone.
7 ) My pencil case
15" MacBook Pro fits perfectly fine as well, or rather, any 15" laptop fits perfectly well.

So yes, Batchel is big enough to fit the things mentioned above( with a lil bit of space left), thus, it is perfect as a school /laptop bag. pretty heavy to carry on one side for long, so i prefer to hand carry it. I'm 5"2, the strap is kinda long for me .The bag is too big for my normal day use so i'm getting a smaller 13" satchel . All the colours from Fluro range looks superb.

Lime green is very popular, but highly doubt i can carry off this colour!

 Mustard Yellow looks so pretty!

On a random day, i saw an European guy in my school carried this satchel with his initial embossed on it.

Brown looks good as well :D

Please note that these satchels are made to order, 30 day wait is normal. Mine takes only 2 weeks plus to arrive from UK!Fed-ex cost £20! Julie Deane {the founder} is really nice to answer any enquiry promptly .

Neon series satchel

How sweet it is.

It's been chilly these few days and I've loving every moment of it , especially when all i need to do is to laze around my home.  My three weeks holidays are well spent with love ones and doing things i enjoy the most. Maybe, i enjoyed myself too much from the combination of tasty treats and movies /dramas. There's a quote from the movie " Juno " that caught me by surprise !

“In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That’s the kind of person that’s worth sticking with.”

So true. Honestly, sometimes B has to agree nonsense with me . I pity that guy, OCCASIONALLY, cause i know my temper is like Katrina Hurricane -comes and go as it please. As usual , we are one of those couple that refuses to celebrate Valentine's , we had our own Sweetheart Day instead (which I'm so looking forward to ). B knows ins and outs of me ,what makes me tick and what makes me happy .

On a random day, after our study date at NLB (go on and laugh about it ) we tried Ah Loy Thai Restaurant. Darn, it's really good and affordable. I WANT TO GO BACK TO BANGKOK to have the reallly awesome ones!

Call me boring, but i will always order the same food at DingTaiFung, even though their standard has dropped tremendously to the extend that some food from certain outlet are really crappy. B & I will always frequent DingTaiFung at least once a month.

For once, we decided to try other dishes.Dont really remember the names of the dishes because it's not that great.

Not as great either, it's too oily for my liking.

My fav :)

Pictures from instagram!

Met up with Linda as well during the holidays and she's the sweetest girl i've ever met.

 {Pique.Nique} at Takashimaya .

Honestly, i will choose KFC over Pique Nique. It's very diappointing. Bad service (what an understatement) and average food that you can get anywhere.  Waffle itself was good,but its too sweet. Definitely wont head back there anymore.

I've been drinking a lil more than usual during the holidays as well.

Lovely ladies !

I tried Monster Green Lager Beer  which is  infused with spirulina.The beer is surprisingly nice and refreshing! I'm not a fan of beer with very bitter aftertaste. If you're into beer like Erdinger you'll love this.Service is great but we got really annoyed with the fake croaking frog noise in the background!

Till then,

XOXO

PS: I've got a few skincare and make up reviews coming up !
