Ecotools brushes haul.

Yeah, been wanting this brushes since people claims it to be among the softest brushes which never sheds, cheap, and made from synthetic fur which is good for those who sensitive towards real animal fur.

So here it is!!

TADA!!

I bought mine from ebay auction at a very cheap price which is USD12 for BOTH including shipping. I did googled around just incase there are any fake Ecotools product on ebay, but since like there are no complains about it so far. So I guess it is safe? Plus, Ecotools brushes are made from China after all.

Anyway, I love the brushes. Its really soft and I love touching it. The baby kabuki is a bit out of shape though since it got pressed in the packing. But thats alright.

If anyone interested in getting it from ebay, you can get it from this seller. You can choose to buy through "buy it now" at a fix price or through "auction" for cheaper price depends on your luck and sometimes skill, like me..lol. The shipping was fast, which is less than 2 weeks for my case. Or for those lyn shopper or Malaysian buyer, you can buy the brushes from this seller who selling it at RM35 per set (it was RM29.90 initially but the price increased due to high demand) and also no reservation. Well, she cant reserve them for me when I was outstation during Raya back then and even the post office still havent back in operation from holiday. But I guess in business, there is no compromise and time cant wait ( even in certain circumstances)? Lol. But still, she got among the best price for this brushes, even still cant beat the dirt cheap price from ebay.

So, for those who want to find a good make up brush, yet affordable, get this! Its totally worth it :)

Hada Labo Hauls and a short review!

After seeing many good reviews, plus testing from the sample given to me like months back, I finally decided to purchase some product from Hada Labo, a brand from Japan.

So, here's my pick

From left to right:
Super Hyaluronic Acid (SHA) Moisturizing face wash, AHA/BHA face wash, SHA Moisturizing Lotion, SHA Moisturizing Cream, SHA Moist Mist.

Well, maybe people who not familiar with Hada Labo might wonder why did I bought 2 kinds of face wash, or both lotion and cream. So here's the reason why. Im using SHA Moisturizing face wash as my daily cleanser, while the AHA/BHA face wash is a substitution for scrub, since it exfoliate skins. SHA Moisturizing Lotion act as toner, while the SHA Moisturizing cream, is obviously a moisturizer.

What about the moist mist? It is to be used whenever your skin need extra hydration while in air-cond room or anywhere, and the best thing is, it can be used over make up without melting it. Plus the size is very convenient to bring inside handbags.

As I already using some of the products for couple of weeks, Im gonna throw in some short review in this post.

The SHA face wash:
So far I like it. It doesnt make my skin dry of course due to the SHA ingredients. And it never cause any break outs to me, plus this is the only scentless face wash that Im using so far, which is great.

AHA/BHA face wash:
Love love love this. I feel my skin smoother everytime I washing my face with this product. It really exfoliate well, and I think I dont need to use any scrub anymore. Scrub always irritates my skin anyway. So this is a very good replacement over scrub. And it scentless too. But please take note that you need to use a sunscreen product incase you washing your face using this during day. Thats one of the reason why I only using this at night, since I dont really wear sunscreen, accept for my bb cream.

SHA Lotion:
Another love from SHA range. Infact, this is the best selling product for Hada Labo. 1 bottle sold every 4 seconds in Japan. Wow. I love how it hydrates my skin very well. I can feel some rough surface on my skin subsides a bit when using this lotion. But remember to pat it instead of applying it straight to the skin, because if you dont pat, it will remain sticky on your face. Like the face wash, this is scentless too.

SHA Cream:
There is another version of this product, called SHA Moisturizing Milk, which is in milky lotion form. But I heard quite of reviews saying that it can become too sticky and runny, thus I choose the new cream form instead. It not greasy at all, scentless. But dont put too much, especially for those with oily skin as it may remain sticky. This product also need to be patted on skin instead of straight applying it using your hand to our face.

Moist Mist:
Love this. My face tends to dry in air-cond room, thus this is my problem solver for my case. And it wont melt in your make up too!


Hada Labo product can be bought exclusively at Guardian for Malaysia market. I got 10% discount on my purchases so if you want to get the discounted price, you better be hurry.

And one more thing, Hada Labo that been sold in Malaysia, are made in China, instead of Japan. However, they are manufactured with high quality control, so no worries. But for those who really want it to be made in Japan, you might need to order it from Japan Spree, or purchasing it at Singapore (seems like they selling made in Japan hada labo there). Get ready to pay more though.

If you want to know more about Hada Labo product, can add their facebook for more information.

Update: After using the AHA/BHA face wash for quite awhile, I noticed that it kinda dried up my skin as Im using it frequent. And dry skin makes my skin break out. So now I guess I'll try to just use it 3 times per week and see how it goes.

DIY: Lip Scrub

Recently while surfing youtube videos, I came across a beauty guru channel by Michelle Phan and Im seriously hooked! There are many beauty gurus out there, and she isnt the prettiest among them, but somehow her videos are really fun to watch for (well..at least for me). I love the music she used, her words, the way she narrates the videos, her sweet voice, instruction, description, the humor, the randomness or maybe should I say I love almost everything about her videos! Even my sister who not really into make up stuff can watch her video from start to the end. Haha! I know most people who love make ups already know about her, but incase you dont know. you can check out here channel here.

So back to the title, I saw one of her video titled Kissable Lips DIY. In the video, she shows how to get a soft kissable lips by exfoliate the lips using DIY lip scrub. As I think it look easy and fun, so I decided to try it out!

This is the lips before it get scrubbed, I hope it doesnt look gross :(

What you need is pretty simple. A table spoon of sugar, 2 table spoon of honey and a squirt of vaseline. You can buy vaselline from pharmacies like Watson or Guardian. I got mine in 50g tub for RM4++ .

Firstly, put all the stuff in a small container.

Stir it so that you can get a gritty texture like so.

Next, just put it onto your lips like how you apply lip balm, and then just rub it all over your lips using your fingers.

Again, sorry if the teeth look gross >_<

Finally, wipe it off with wash cloth or tissue. And tada...! You get an exfloliated lips. Can see the difference?

I never scrub my lips before, and I think this way is very simple yet fun! And did I tell you that the scrub taste yummy too? Even with vaseline. Lol.

Have fun trying it for those who interested! And you might check Michelle Phan's channel for more fun tutorial.!

Thats all. Thanks for reading ^_^

Sick gummy

So..my poor teeth gummy have been sicking since last Thursday and now it got swelled badly. I will always feel there is a big bump on my lower left chick especially when I just woke up from a slumber. And now it getting worst till the the level that most thing that involve the movement of mouth muscle hurts! It hurts when Im swallowing (food, drink, saliva, wadsoever that can be swallowed), it hurts when Im brushing teeth, it hurts when Im yawning, and it even hurts when I was burping, wtf.

It making me damn frustrated for the whole day as Im having pain everytime Im swallowing my saliva as if Im having a throat ulcer which is not and chewing food is such a chore. Dont even think of chewing something like gummy bear when your gummy is sick, you gonna scream ouchhh...!

Eating panadol wasnt enough so I guess I need to see dentist tomorrow. I dont want to bear this pain till fasting month, gosh, it would be a night mare fasting while having a sick mouth T.T

And that means I need to take mc tomorrow. Yay!! Thats the good part :P So if any of my colleague read this, you know what happen to me if I absence tomorrow, haha. I think this is finally my time to take mc, since I never had one ever since my first working day, lol.

Anyway, since someone already off to bed, that means I also need to sleep now (if I can sleep la). But before that, maybe I'll play few poker hand 1st, lol.

So, nite nite~

Overdue haul: Circle lenses

Back then, I owned only 2 pairs of circle lenses which is XCK-105 and Barbie Super Nudy Green and thats it. But ever since I got my temporary job, I started browsing back those circle lenses shop and thread and now I think I have fall into the circle lens bandwagon once again.

So this is my few months back (thats why I called this an overdue haul) pick on circle lenses.

From left to right:
Big DM23 brown, Max Pure pink, Max Pure Brown and MX-21 Black

I also bought a few sets of lens case, or else where am I gonna put all these lenses right.

The bottles are so pretty so I think I might keep them as collection. lol.

If you wondering what are the brand of these circle lens, DM23 and Max Pure Pink are from Dueba and MX-21 is from G&G but I heard people said Dueba and G&G is a same brand.

And for my Max Pure Brown, I have no idea whether this is from Dueba or EOS, because the supplier (Jujulens) change the original label into their own label:

So now the bottle label is Jujulens, instead of (insert brand name here). In my opinion, I dont think this is a good idea, since they should at least state what is the real brand right? And they even ditch the lens name. Plus some people (like me) might want to collect the bottle with different pretty labels, instead of having 4 pairs of different lens but with same label and no specific name and brand, sounds boring right?

Just a low quality picture on how each lenses look like:

Top from left: DM23 Brown and Max Pure Pink

Bottom from left: MX-21 Black and Max Pure Brown

Anyway, I might reviewing each lens when I have time. So far Im liking all of them, especially the Max Pure series. And more big hauls on circle lens are coming soon. So stay tune. And yes I guess I am now addicted to circle lens!

current wishlist

Ever since I working, my shopping desire grow bigger and bigger along with my wishlist of course. I go out for window shopping (which turn out to shopping) at least twice a month and the worst is I window shopping (which also can turn to shopping) online everyday!!

Lippie Hauls: MyLipStuff and NYX

I think this is my biggest haul so far, just for lip product, at least for someone who not really a make up junkie like me.

So, here it is!

MyLipStuff.com. Its the coolest lip balm merchant in a whole world. You can choose over 400+ flavor for your lipbalms. I bet choosing flavor isnt easy. I myself spent few days just to pick my flavour. lol.

Upside Down Pineapple Cake, Shamrock Shake, Jalapeno Poppers and Twisted Melon.

The packaging is very simple, but thats ok.

All sounds yummy didnt they? Except for the Jalapeno Poppers of course which sounds rather scary. Lol.

And, how it really feels and TASTE on lips?

[Upside Down Pineapple Cake]

Im not a fan of pineapple, but why did I choose this? It because I saw a lot of good reviews on the reviews section, and all of them except 1, gave this 4 stars and above.

And now my opinion. I smell a lot of coconut in this, mix with vanilla or caramel, but cant really sense the pineapple. Honestly, its no as yummy as I thought it could be, but its not that bad. However, I wont repurchase this flavor.

Next....!

[Shamrock Shake]

I never taste the real Shamrock Shake aka minty milkshake, but this lip balms is really really good. Its minty and smells delicious. Have you ever eat Andes chocolate with mint flavor? It smells exactly like that! Just one complain, the minty feeling doesnt last long. But overall, I love this, It's my favourite among others. Might repurchase.

the most interesting one..

[Jalapeno Poppers]

People said "Jalapeno" flavours is good as lip plumpers, as you will feel hot as if you smeared the real jalapeno onto your lips, while "Jalapeno Poppers" is same as Jalapeno, but with addition of cheese flavor. And yes! Its hootttt on my lips and I can feel the tingling burning sensation. Shortly after that, my lip plumped. Cool isnt it. But the only turn off is this balm smell sour. I guess because of the cheese? Not going to repurchase this, or maybe I'll just choose "Jalapeno" next time.

[Twisted Melon]

Actually this is my sis lip balms. She dont know how to choose out of 400++ different flavors, but then she said to me that she want something fruity and minty, and I ended choose this. The melon is there, but sadly, the mint isnt really there. So, thumbs down for this. Not going to repurchase.

And honestly, the balm texture itself is good, very moisturize. And the great thing is all the ingredients to make these balmies are natural. So no chemicals added.

And for NYX.

Megashine Lip Gloss in Beige, Megashine Lip Gloss in Smokey Look, and Round lipstick in Indian Pink.

I bought the megashines from other seller from lyn while the Indian Ink was purchased together with the MLS. Im not going to review these for now since I dont have a good lighting source currently to snap swatches.

If anyone wondering how did I get my hand for MLS, actually I joined a US spree handled by someone called Rowena from lyn. She handles several sprees at time, and recently, she just opened a new forum, just for her spree http://forum.malaysianbeautystore.com/.

Anyway, Im going to sleep now since its very late already. Lucky Im on leave tomorrow. Yay~

Good night~
