Review: The Skin Food Choco Smoky Eyebrow Jam No 2

It's 2am and I'm still wide awake and hyperactive with no sign of sleepiness at all...Darn!!

So I've decided to do a review on a piece of my favorite make-up item that I've keep putting off..

This is my first time trimming my thick and unruly eyebrows... So common sense dictates that once you've trimmed your eyebrows, of course you will start using eyebrows pencil/pallet etc right??

I've tried so many items from pencil, to automatic eyebrows to pallet...

Non of them seem to stay on my brows since I have oily skin..

They will eventually fade away...

Until I stumbled upon The Skin Food eyebrow jam..

One of the new-released Chocolate range (me thinks O_o)

So here is the verdict~

Price

RM31.80 or RM31.90?? Ok I forgot..But it's within that range.. RM31++

Kinda pricey but given the elixir inside it..It was worth it..

And I took No 2, the lighter color so I won't look like a failed evil stepmother O_o

Features

1. Jam/gelatin-like texture

2. The brush is attached to the cover

No 2

Before applying eyebrow jam

After application

Thumbs Up

1. Long-lasting (yeay!).. Until night when I have to remove my make-up

2. Neaten my thick & messy eyebrows. 

3. Great for novice (like me!)

4. The color is not to dark or to light.. Very natural..

Thumbs Down

1. The price (haha?)

2. A word of warning though, after application, it will harden a bit. Just imagine applying hair gel onto your hair. The exact feeling..But I don't mind a lil' bit at all..

3.Maybe not for those who have thin/very little eyebrow.

Repurchasing

No doubt I will repurchase it again. This eyebrow jam belongs in my precious make-up box where the items inside the box are A-MUST-BRING-EVERYWHERE-AND-I-DON'T-CARE-WHEN-MY-PARTNER-SHAKES-HIS-HEAD

And my recent haul at The Skin Food Mahkota Cheras..

They are always generous with the samples..

And I will try to review all items one by one..

Stay tune..

Thanks for the great service Skin Food...

And thanks to the cash source..daddy..Muah!

Books Overload~

Yes, to those who knows me very well, they will immediately know what my obsession is...

...BOOK...

I'm obsessed with reading...

Once I've started reading, don't even dream of talking to me cause I won't respond to anything..

I will just zoned out...

My best friends calling me crazy...

My parents shaking their heads *but my mom still obsessed taking care of my vast collection of books back home...She will know when my books are missing and started looking feverishly for it*

I read during my meals

*It's a bad habit I've tried to change unless I'm eating alone >__<*

I won't fold my book page...

I used bookmark instead...

Those who borrowed books from me will know the rules...

I wrapped my books...

And I never throws away any of my books since I've started collecting them at a young age of 11...

I skipped meals so that I can used my lunch money to buy books...

I asked for advanced from my dad when I found a book that I like...

Now having my own money, you can just guess the craziness I'm experiencing when I'm in a bookstore...

I'm like a little girl let loose in a candy store...

How this obsession started?

Well, since we were little, my dad WILL ALWAYS brought us to a bookstore at Gamma Penang after grocery shopping...

Then my primary school best friend is also a book addict.. :)

The rest is self-explanatory...

And now I'm running out of space to keep them ;p

I even did double storage..See??

There was a time when I'm obsessed with Gempak Starz's comics...Now I have a box full of them.. :)

Another box full with Lawak Campus series and Archie Comics

My misc reading materials and trust me..there are a lot of them in another box which I'm to lazy to open.. :)

The best part? There is a shelf full with my books back at Penang..

A tumbling hills of them here in UPM..

And I'm still looking for new reading materials...

Hope my future husband can accept my obsession.. ;p

And oh!! What I need is....

This...

My dream secret hideout.. *hanyan*

Aging Gracefully~

Hokaaay...When I wrote aging gracefully, that doesn't mean I'm an old wrinkle woman..

I'm a year older, when I look back, I've realized that I've changed a lot positively, years by years..

Well, getting a year older is not really making me go "hip-hip horay"..It does have that "oh man, I getting older" feeling..

But I'm really looking forward to build my life as I planned...

Realizing I'm getting older and older making me go back down to earth, less day-dreaming and more of making my dreams coming true..

*eleh, tetibe feeling mature la pulak*

*padahal tade topic nak tulis..pfffft!!*

To those who remember my birthday, thanks a million..I really appreciated it..

To those who even went for the troubles celebrating it, there are no words appropriate for me to express how touched I am..

Just capable of murmuring a humble thanks.

Kantoi umur?? ;p

I'm truly grateful with everything that Allah swt has given and showers me with...

Syukur Alhamdulillah..

My Favourite Masks

A few months ago, when I do a self-check on my skin conditions, I am genuinely horrified to find that my skin in serious conditions. Acne everywhere, problem eyes, littering with dark spots, very very dull and dehydrated... So armed with money *sobs!!! T_T*, I've started extensive DIY treatments on my skin..I still can't afford to do facial.. :(

So for these few months, I've started with weekly mask sheets and a sleeping mask...

So here I come with my own favorite masks after several trials on different brands...

Favorite Sheet for Oily/Acne-prone skin

TheFaceShop Herbal Therapy Clarifying Mask Sheet

I hauled a lot of them since they're on 30%+5% sale..

Retailing at RM6.90 (normal price), I find it very affordable for frequent usage. The smell is soothing and not overpowering. And you do can see the different after pulling off the sheet. Your pimples are soothed and the redness is reduced..And after frequent usage, your skin does become less oily in appearance. People doesn't believe me when I told them I have oily skin..:)

Favorite Radiance Mask Sheet

The Skin Food Snow Tea Mask Sheet

I'm hooked at the first moment I've tried it. But to make sure I'm not making rush decision, I've tried it three times..And hoooo yeah, I'm truly hooked. Retailing at RM8.90, this mask is not dripping wet with essence when we take it out from the packet. No mess at all. The smell is super nice (kinda musky tea scent, oh come on! I'm not good at describing smell). After patting the essence into your skin, there is no sticky feeling and my face does look a little lively than before. We'll see after a month. :) I just wish it's a little cheaper..Hahaha..

Favorite Hydrating Mask

Hrmmm..I'm still looking for my favorite. But at the moment, I'm using this mask sheet. My face does feel smooth to the touch and a little bit radiance. But what I dislike about this mask is the smell.. Strong ginger smell. I'm nearly choking but for the sake of my dehydrated face, I'm holding on *life and death situation..hahaha..ok gedik*

TheFaceShop Herbal Therapy Healthy Mask Sheet

And I'm yet to try this but currently the mask is out of stick at my favorite TheFaceShop outlet.

Favorite Sleeping Mask

TheFaceShop Raspberry Roots Sleeping  Mask

The beauty consultant once told me it is a best-seller both here and in Korea. And after using it, I believe her! The smell is sooo good and the texture is gel-typed and absorbed easily into my skin without sticky feeling..Next morning after rinsed with warm-water, my skin feel soooo smooth that I become self-obsess with touching my skin. Haha..Months after, my congested pores are significantly reduced in number and my skin become much more smoother, As for the lifting/firming part, I don't actually feel it. Maybe because I'm still young?? *perasaaan*

Even though pricey, it's highly recommended.. :)

Moi~

Moi sans make-up.. T_T

My complexion after 2 months of mask sheets. The dark spots and occasional pimples are still there..But my skin is smoother, and I can actually see *and experiencing/believing* the radiance especially on my upper cheeks. And the dark circles have permanently become a citizen there..Hurrrmphh!

How about yours??

Review: The Skin Food Peach Sake BB Cream and Peach Sake Silky Finish Powder

Before I start, here are my skin’s conditions so that there won’t be any bias as different skin type will give different results. :)

Skin Tone         : Medium with yellowish undertone

Skin Type         : Oily and sensitive, prone to sweats around nose and upper    lip areas.   

Skin Conditions : Dull, dehydrated, congested pores, fine lines, dark spots (caused by acnes not pigmentation), small pimples, whiteheads, enlarged pores and redness~ *OMG!!arrrgghh*

Eyes                : Complete package! Dehydrated, obvious dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, deep wrinkles, crow’s feet and discoloration

Since I have oily skin, I never stop in pursuit of make-up items that will last longer on my skin without constant touch-ups. So when I stop by at The Skin Food Mahkota Cheras, the Beauty Consultant suggested me to try the Peach Sake Pore BB Cream with Peach Sake Silky Finish Powder. These Peach Sake range is for those with oily skin and enlarge pores..Hmmmm..*so me~*

Prices

Peach Sake Pore BB Cream : RM44.90 (affordable)

Peach Sake Silky Finish Powder : RM79.90 (*choking!*)

The BB cream comes in two color, so I took No 2, the natural color. As for the loose powder, there is only one color.

Peach Sake BB Cream in 02 (Natural)

Peach Sake Silky Finish Powder

The texture is very light

Blends well..No hideous white streak..But did not really fully cover my vein..Light coverage

My 'dimsum steamer' O__o

See the white streak?? Haiyoh~

Thumbs Up

Peach Sake Pore BB Cream

1. I really like the smell of the BB cream..

2. After a few hours, my make up still intact as if I just apply them

3. No sticky feeling throughout the day yet not drying… I really do feel comfortable

4. Easy to apply...Smooth in texture..Glides on your skin easily

5. Natural finish

Peach Sake Silky Finish Powder

1. I’m hook at the packaging the very first moment I saw them. Reminds me of the dim sum steamer..

2.The scent is very pleasant to the nose..*haha*

3. The powder is very smooth and refined in texture

4. Gave me flawless effect

5. Mattifying effect and non-transluscent..
6.  Oil-controlling properties!! I love how my make-up stay long throughout the day..Finally~

7. Require less touch ups

Thumbs Down

Peach Sake Pore BB Cream

1. Since it only give sheer finish with light coverage, without the pairing with loose powder, I won’t be using it during special events or occasions

2. At first usage, I’m having difficulty pumping out the BB cream. I’ve shake it and pumped it like 100^th times before the BB cream is finally pumped out *I’m freak out and nearly in a brink of bringing the BB cream back to the store as I thought it was the faulty tube*

Peach Sake Silky Finish Powder

1. Quite drying. Heads up to those with combination/dry, dry or normal skin. :)
2. Even though I love the flawless finish as well as the scent, I’m not too keen on the color. It’s too light. Over-application of it will lead you to becoming the next failing Chinese opera actress.

Repurchasing

Hmmm..tricky one..Although I really adore the mattifying effect, but something is still missing here..No, I won’t repurchase unless I fail in my journey of searching for perfect powder. Teehee~

My face after the application of both products..kinda thick aight?? 

So go slow with the loose powder.. >__<

Achieving Healthier Body: My After School Scale

"I believe when you take care of your body, your body will takes care of you back…"

I always feel ridiculously tired by the end of the day, that is simply because I rarely exercise, keep eating junk foods etc *you get the idea*

So I’ve made up my mind to start exercise, less junk food consumption, more plain water etc *you get the idea ~again*

So according to my realistic goals *well~I’m not expecting a fortnight result..pfffft!* and my just-made-it-up After School scale *too much doses of AS perhaps*, first I’m going to firm up my body.. 

No more jelly-slash-pudding arms, legs and tummy... 

*well Kudin, there goes your favorite toys..hahaha..haha..ha..ehem!*

First goal,

Since I have curvaceous body, I’m going to firm them up..Like the body of the former AS member, Bekah..

She has beautiful curvaceous body and she’s proud of it..I’m going to be like her..

Start with weight-training for mediocre and mild jogging-slash-fast walk...

*hey! I can't straightly go for a marathon..I might kill myself..duh!*

As for diet, I will try to stay away from cikedis *a.k.a junk foods* and consume more healthier food and plain water... I will not skip any of the meals..

Second goal,

When I’ve achieve my first goal, I will aim for a slimmer figure like the figure of UEE or Jungah

At this stage, I will go for advance weight training and exercises and my meal sizes will become smaller

Third goal,

My ultimate goal, like I’ve discussed before here, a body like fierce leader Gahee

With all the muscles and curves in place…

This stage will acquire me to fully commit to hardcore exercises and strict-but-not-ridiculous diet..

Well, my friend Vee already achieved the UEE/Jungah’s body, so I’m sooo envious of her..But this also takes a lot of hard work and dedication..She doesn’t simply woke up with that body..

Wish I can achieve a healthier me..Amin~

Any suggestions/ideas/new techniques to share with me???

Hwaiting!

Review: After School Diva (Japanese Version)

Alas~ The long-awaited Japanese version of Diva is finally out…I’m freaking and frigging excited when I watched the teaser..But when the actual PV is out, I’m down right disappointed..No no no..not with the girls *they’re cute as buttons!!* But with the music…It doesn't give the exact climax-reaching *please let go any of sexually-explicit content in your frigging mind* goose bumps when I first watched the Japanese version of Bang! *In this case, I even prefer the Japanese version better*

Likes

1. Like I always said, the girls are always, and forever beautiful, gorgeous, pretty etc especially my Jungah-eonni!! Her hair is adorable! Shaving years from her face, making her looks younger…Gahee-eonni , no need to explain further, she’s forever beautiful *wonder if she drinks the elixir of life??*

2. I’m soooo digging their ballet-inspired shoes *I always dream that I can pull this look, but I’m too short…Not to mention my ala roasted-chicken thigh -___-*

3. I love Lizzy’s rap, kinda making-up the fact that I miss Bekah…

4. As for the dance moves, I like them both the Koren and Japanese versions *maybe due to the fact that I adore AS too much and the fact that I think they’re dance goddesses especially Gahee??*

5. Well, even though I didn't really favor the Japanese version, but since AS change the beat, I wouldn't mind putting their song in my mp3...It gives a fresh change every time I listen to my mp3... *well unlike SNSD, or even Suju, the beat is just the same, except the language is different,so I see no sense of putting them in my player since I already have the Korean version*

Dislikes

1. I prefer the Korean version of the tap music. It gives the adrenaline-rush feeling…The Japanese version?? None..I even flabbergasted.  The music didn’t emphasized or focus on the tapping moves..Blinded by the auto-tune sounds.. pfffftt!

2. Like the tap music, I prefer the Korean version of Diva..But I’m not hating the Japanese version though…I can’t bring myself to hate anything associate with After School *talk about hardcore fan*

3. I’m soooo not digging the robotic sound of “Diva”

4. I’m simply re-watching the video just to see the girls…really..

Hmmmm, well..as VEE quote “Yea, changes aren't necessary good, but seeing something different is worth a try . ^_^"

I still love them like hell though..

Hail After School!!

And owh…why I didn’t review the Japanese version of Bang!???

Because there are only two words to describe the video....

 “Pure Awesomeness"

*I’m sooo not used to blogging with just a few words…teeeheee…*

Perfect Females

I’ve wrote about perfect males, now as an beauty’s appreciator, I should write about my perfect females… All these celebs I listed is based on my awed-at-first-sight experiences..

-_________-

Sigh, again..Nooo...I don't have any latent homosexual tendencies...

I dream of kissing Lee Min Ho, not Megan Fox *euwwww*

I truly admire beautiful girls slash women…This is totally based on look through MY point of view..

One Malaysian celebrity that I think is beautiful is Ummi Nazeera...

From Nur Kasih..She played the look-as-sweet-as-candy evil sister Sarah*thanks to my mom, I have to watch the show with her*

To me, she has authentic Malay look..I’m not a fan of Pan-Asians’ look…No offense to all Pan-Asians..

Then, another girl is Megan Fox…

When I first saw her in Transformer, I went like ‘meowww'..she’s super hot..I can totally understands why most of the boys slash men go gaga over her..Dark hair, bluest eyes..She’s perfect..But when I saw her picture sans make-up, I’m quite repulsed..huhu..

Park Gahee

Without heavy make-up

No need to explain further with all the brushes in sight..not much different eh?? still beautiful as ever

Like in my previous post, as I admired her beautiful body, I also admire her beautiful face…With dimples, she’s one of a kind..With or without make-up, she’s rock!!

Kim Jungah

I also went gaga over her when I first saw her in AS’s music video Ah! In Bang!, her bowl-cut hair really made her appeared older, definitely doing nothing for her, thus I didn’t notice her at all *only noticed during her famous bang bang bang’s dance moves* She has a very soft and serene facial features, motherly yet gorgeous face, making you feel calm just by looking at her face..She's my favorite AS's member!!

Park Gyuri

Have no qualms when people call her goddess.. :)

Even though I’m not her fan, but I still think she is utterly gorgeous with or without makeup…

How about you guys??
