Elf Studio Line Brushes

If you read my previous post, you should have known how crazy am i for makeup brushes. I wanted to get more and keep trying new ones. A month ago, I bought 3 Elf brushes which are 2 Elf Studio Powder Brushes and Elf Professional Blending Brush.

Elf Studio Powder Brush

Elf Professional Blending Brush

I really love the Powder brush a lot. Even though the name of brush is powder brush but it is also good for blending liquid foundation and also good for mineral makeup user. I don't use mineral makeup myself but i can tell from applying powder using that brush, it is more even and smoother. Not to mention that it is super soft as silk. This is softest brush i ever touch. Before purchasing this brush, i heard a lot people keep on raving on it, and I can't resist to get 2 of it.

As for the blending brush, it is small and soft, it great to blend out the harsh line of the eyeshadow. Since it is small, it can fit perfectly in the crease.

Eyeshadows ~~

A few weeks ago, i bought myself 2 nice eyeshadow palettes that i really love. This will be it :

The picture above showing one of it, but i will update as soon as i upload to my laptop the other colour. Well this eyeshadow is damn pigmented and i love the colours, all dark colours. Not mentioning the packaging of the palettes really incredibly cute haha. Let me show you the swatches of it

from the left : silver, greenish blue, dirty gold, dark copper, purple, black

Bottom line, this colours more to night wear rather than day cuz it is pretty dark unless you might need some time to blend it really well to pull out the look for the day.

Ocean Blue

Blue never will be my favorite colour but i still love to stare and the blue ocean and blue sky. It is very calming to stare at it. Thats why it inspire me to do blue eyeshadow look. HOnestly i dont like to wear bright colour eyeshadow, i only use 3 colours normally which are brown, black and bronze which is something natural. So this is the outcome of it :

I used 3 blue colours on this eyeshadow,

silver blue which is in the inner corner of the eyes,
medium blue in the crease and
darkest blue in the outer corner of the eyes
and black on the outer corner of the eyes to give some dramatic look

I also line the bottom line with silver blue and darkest blue to give more colour to the eyes so it don't look si dull. I also did a cat eye kinda look with the flick...Please ignore my eyebrow, i overplucked it lol...

p.s : since this is a very dramatic look, so i will never wear this makeup out or else people will think i am crazy...!

Overall look with some syok sendiri pose...

Attachment Life

My attachment is super boring compared to others, they had the chance to do some paper works where else my job is to do research and that’s all. I wake up and 8.00 and go to work 8.30 then lunch time at 12.30 then back to work at 2pm and leave at 5.30. Basically i didn’t work at all cuz i all i do is spend time in the library reading books and cases sort of research for my master.

The firm where i work is not that big nor small ( compared to other firm in tawau ). It consists of 4 lawyers, and one chambering student that happened to be my ex-schoolmate. She just grad from UK, since she took foundation for a year, so she graduate a year earlier than me. Luckily she is there to talk to me or else i gonna talk to myself. Everyone in the office all busy working, and sometimes even have no time to go out for lunch because need to rush the deadline. Everytime i came to the office, they still working, and when i leave they still working. They make me feel that they are working there 24/7. One of the friendly staff told me that’s what working life about, working non-stop.

I admit i kinda shy, so i dont really know how to social with people, so it makes me kinda lonely. But dont get me wrong, everyone in the office is very friendly and helpful, but its just i dont know what to do with myself in the office. So since all the room in the office is occupied so my master have to stationed me in the library. The library is the biggest room in the office and the air-cond always so cold. It just make me feel sleepy all the time, honestly i took nap a few times in the library.

I dont know what to write in the report, cuz i keep doing the same routine every day. *sigh*

DIY: Eyeshadow Palette

I get this idea from Koren’s video. He such a great makeup guru. I have been watching this video for a long time but haven’t get the idea to do it but finally i did it. My version of CD case eyeshadow a but different from Koren’s version. In Koren video, he is using magnet card to ensure the eyeshadow stick to it but the problem is its slides all around the place ! Therefore i use glue to glued them. The glue i’m using is the “hot gun” type of glued. It is more semi permanent because you can detach it easily.

The front look of the CD case

Isn’t the back cover sexy??!!! I keep it transparent so its easier to know what inside

Complete version of my eyeshadow palette

Oh ya before i forgot, i want to share my brushes that i bought last month. It was the popular loew cornell brushes that i been looking for so long ! It was said to be comparable with Mac 139 and Mac 152 brushes. I bought it at 1U, and believe it or not this is actually painting brushes not makeup brushes, but it was soft and stiff because it made from natural goat hair.

It kinda long but i can live with that lol

Wangsa Maju Stabbing

If you do read some of newspaper, you sure will come across with this news. A 26 years old promoter was stabbed to death in Wangsa Maju. The crime scene happened behind lister old flat and it happened after 1 weeks lister move to his new place at Prima Setapak Condo.

That is the flat that lister used to stay, and he stays at 3rd floor. His balcony facing directly to the car park. Lister told me that he walk passing this car park almost everyday to go across to the bus station. GOSH! That is so scary. Well, i never been here at night but lister said that this place is dark cuz all the street light are not working.

""Ng, from Ipoh, was believed to be walking towards a restaurant when he was approached by two men on a motorcycle.

The killers were believed to have then pointed a knife at him and demanded his wallet and mobile phone.

Ng tried to escape and they attacked him, stabbing him on the left side of his body. They rode off, as Ng fell down, bleeding.

It was learnt that Ng staggered to the restaurant, where a shocked patron contacted the police and called for an ambulance.

“He just stood there holding his abdomen, and was on the phone with someone,” said a restaurant worker who only wanted to be known as Ajai. “He did not shout or ask for help. He just stood at the corner of this restaurant and then sat down.”

Ng was taken to the emergency unit of Kuala Lumpur Hospital where he died about 12.30am yesterday""

I copied this news article from http://www.mmail.com.my/Wangsa_Maju_stabbing.aspx

The confused part is that he didnt call for help when he got stabbed. I dont really know the real reason. The other confused part is that just a few meters away there is the mamak store that open until really late night, i just couldn't believe that no one saw it happened. The incident happened at 9.30pm and it just still early. Lister's ex roommate said that maybe the reason nobody willing to help when they saw the victim struggle with culprits is that they dont want to be busy body and they thought it could be a gang fight so they will like to stay away from it. What happened to people nowadays, you dont need to fight with them, just shouts really loud and call the police and ambulance really helps a lot!

Lister's ex roommates also said that Ng actually wearing a sling bag, and in order to take the sling bag off his shoulder, the culprit stab right into his kidney. The cause of death probally be excessive bleeding.

For this reason i want to share some tips on how you can safe yourself when you come across with such situation.

If threatened by an attacker with a knife you must consider whether or not to fight( if you are unarmed, it is wise to choose not to fight ).

If escape is just a little distance away you may want to throw leaves, dirt or rocks into the attacker's face and kick his knee or groin (scary but might work). You might want to wrap your jacket around your arm and try to use that to temporarily fend him off as you yell for help "Help! Call the Police". It may also be best may be to throw or toss your wallet or purse or bag to the attacker's knife hand as you run away. They are more interested with the money than you. After that run as fast you could to crowded places and call for help. Do not try to fight with them, the faster they get your money, the less they will trying to hurt you. Remember nothing is more important than your own safety.

I hope you learn something from this. Please remember safety always come first, and always be cautions no matter where you are when especially you are alone.

Takin' Back My Love

I saw this MV last night, and i was hooked. GOSH, not only the songs is catchy, but the mv is so sexy. Well you cant separate enrique with sexy lol. If you really watch Enrique's video, all his mv are so sexy, haha i cant denied it. So back to this song, its more like couple arguing song, and it is so creative and unique. Its totally love at first sight...

Enrique:

Ciara:

I'm just confused as I stand here and look at you
From head to feet, all that's not me
Go 'head, keep the keys, that's not what I need from you
You think that you know (I do), you've made yourself cold (Oh yeah)
How could you believe them over me, I'm your girl
You're out of control (So what?), how could you let go (Oh yeah)
Don't you know I'm not attached to material

Both:
I'd give it all up but I'm takin' back my love
I'm takin' back my love, I'm takin' back my love
I've given you too much but I'm takin' back my love

I'd give it all up but I'm takin' back my love
I'm takin' back my love, I'm takin' back my love
I've given you too much but I'm takin' back my love

Melaka Trip

It was fun going to melaka with lister. Ok lets talk about the hotels, we stayed there 2 nights at a different hotel because the Puri Hotel (1st hotel) was fully booked so we need to stay at Baba House. I really prefer Puri Hotel a lot better except for the shower head which is your normal house shower head. Both Puri and Baba are located at Jonker Street and they are just next door.

I will suggest you to stay at Puri Hotel if you prefer a reasonble price for a nice scene and a nice buffet breakfast. It cost around RM138 per night at Puri and RM127 at Baba House. But let me tell you that Baba House dont have breakfast buffet! They only let you choose between friend mee or toast LOL. So choose wisely.

Below are the scenery outsidePuri Hotel Cafe, you will feel so relax eating here with waterfall and fishes.

Love the buffet a lot. When we arrive at the hotel, we straight go out to Dataran Pahlawan but the problem is both of us dont know how so we take taxi from Jonker Street to Dataran Pahlawan. Damn, he charge us RM9 and Dataran Pahlawan just in walking distance lol. Taxi there dont use meter haih.

Reach Dataran Pahlawan, its time to go hunt for bag.

hmm red or black ?

You will know which bag i bought soon. Dataran Pahlawan is so small and not much shop around but its quite decent place to walk around. After Dataran Pahlawan we walk back to the hotel. On the way we visited the ship. Nothing there anyway, not many ppl there.

This what i do when i got nothing do in this boring ship museum

poor honey, too tired carrying bags...nvm you'll get used to it

Nothing much on the first day, at night just go to Jonker Street. Not many people yet on friday. Next day after move to Baba House, i just cant believe the sink located outside not inside the toilet. It was a nice sink but on the wrong place. However the shower head is big and the water pressure at Baba House was so strong.

So on the next day walk around Jonker Street again and walk to Christ Church Melaka then to A'Famosa and St.Paul.

This floor so uneven, can you see the hole there, i almost fall

A'Famosa

saw this cute horsey in front of A'Famosa, this horse is 12 years old, i think horse name is Joe something

i dont even know why the train is here in first place

the river smell but the scenery is beautiful

can you see how narrow the street is, once i saw a travle bus go through here

The 'must" spot to take picture in melaka

Now the is the food from Melaka. Since i only stay 2 nights and 3 days, i dont really go around melaka to find the best piece of food there. I even miss the satay celup at Bukit Cina. But Jonker Street food at night is still satisfied my taste buds. We went there 2 nights straight lol. Honestly you can't really eat all the food there in one night, well not for me. So for dinner we just had chicken rice ball, and then for super, the whole food at junker street is waiting.

We basically tried everything, bubble tea which is common to durian cendol and bbq sotong. It taster super delicious. I'm lovin it.

Buffet breakfast at Puri Hotel, not bad eh

Durian cendol, gosh it is so yummy !

chicken rice ball for the second day

chicken rice ball for the first day

Thats burger from McDonald btw, lister want a bite but i dont let him, its mine !

Alister is so obbsessed with Chicken Rice Ball until we have it for dinner for 2 days. Well cant blame him, it is really nice. I enjoy the food and places in Melaka, oh ya sure i will come back cuz the foods there keep haunting me...

well that's all folks, thanks for reading....

Yes Brushes~

Finally the brushes that i order from www.coastalscents.com finally arrive last friday. I been waiting for so long for that brushes. They such a beautiful babies. I love them... So this is what i order :

From the top : Pink Deluxe Oval Shadow Brush, Pink Oval Fluff Shadow Brush, Black Sable Shadow and Tapered Crease Eye Brush (Comparable to MAC 226)

I super love ♥ the bruses a lot, the brushes are soft and do pick up the eye shadow really well. The tapered crease brush are kinda round and short and it fit right in the crease area which is good for deposit some darker for your outer corner of the eye. I'm sure gonna get more brushes from coastal scents. The 4 brushes cost Rm45 inlucding postage. So its really worth it for brushes like this.

The brush that i will like to review on is the stippling brush or the duo-fibre brush. I never own a stippling brush before so this will be my first. Its actually my valentine's present lol. Oh ya i picked what i want for my valentine. I dont like silly surprises, with flowers or chocolates or teddy bear. I'm not a little girl who hold their teddy bear to sleep, and flowers died in few days, and chocolate makes me fat and breakout. How come nobody came out with an idea instead bouquet of flower/teddy bear, they should come bouquet of brushes. haha silly me. The last time lister got me roses which i dont know why suddenly he show up in front of my door with bouquet of roses. What happened to it ? It just vanish into thin air. The big teddy bear he got me, just sucking all the dust in my room.

So back to brush hehe:

Its makes my foundation looks like a tinted moisturizer. Oh ya the brown part should be white, i used it yesterday. The black bristle is goat hair and the white one is synthetic bristle. So when applying it, the goat hair give a density and the synthetic bristle wont absorb the foundation. Its did a great job for a RM50 brush. But the con is that the white bristle is not long enough as the mac 187. :(

I just get this brush to try out and see how its likes, and too my surprises, it did really well. So next for my birthday, i'm gonna get the MAC 187 duo fibre brush. Oh ya that brush is so popular and it came with a price too for RM200. So thanks you first honey... hehe, i promise i will be a good gurl...

Mac 187 Duo Fibre Brush

Valentine's Day with Brad Pitt ?

lol i wish, me and lister watch The curious case of Benjamin Button stars Brad Pitt at Pavillion on Valentine's day. It was a great movie about a person born in his eighties and get old backwards, which mean he will die as a baby. Its a kinda touching story thought it takes 2 hours and 45 minutes, and if you havent watch yet, you better should. I thought its gonna be another silly movie until i watch the trailer 2 days ago. The best part is i was late lol, lister waiting for me like hmmm 2 hours for me at pavillion. I woke up late, sorry honey. As soon as i get out the lift, i saw him haha, i guess he keep staring at the lift. And yes we miss 30 minutes of the movie. In pavillion i saw many couple wearing couple t-shirt, like polo t-shirt, i found its hilirious

its totally the same shirts, just one smaller and one bigger. Well not one but i saw 3 of the people wearing the same couple shirt, and yes it is polo.

So after movie, is dinner time, lister wanna eat Wendy's burger for dinner. Hey, i dont want to have burgers on valentine's so i choose to eat at BarBQ Plaza at times square. Its is just like steamboat. I saw it long time ago and i wanted to try it. These picture explain everything :

We order the family package which come in this and one more seafood plate which is not in this picture

The steamboat pot looks unique, lister look so tired doing all the steamboat while i keep eating non-stop, oh yes they use pig fat as the oil !!!!

Fooling around after getting so full

I'm speechless about this pic

Love the meats, they provides beef, chicken and pork

Lister took this without me noticing it, he said i look like sucking on baby bottles

Dinner makes me so full ! Oh ya if you asking about the valentine's gift, lister already bought for me a skunk brush last week cuz i cant wait till valentine's haha. And i bought his gift, the most expensive shaver in watson mach 3 lol. He choose it ok, i wanna buy him a electric shaver but he said its slow and not efficient. I will do more brushes review after this.
