My 2014 Holy Grail Beauty Product -


Advise from lots of beauty gurus - start taking care of your skin when your young . 
Throughout this year , as normal i tried many many different product , especially Korean skin care . 
from Hera , Sulhwasoo , History of Whoo ...mostly mid to high range skin care . The disappointing part is, that non of them suits my skin at all . Most of them are just too oily or heavy on my skin . 
After screening so many different range of skin care , these below are those that suits me : 

1. Cleanser- Cetaphil 
Started to use this maybe 5-6 years ago when i start having sensitives skin due to usage of whitening/bleaching product . One of the beauty salon recommend this to me . I find them pretty mild similar to dermalogica ultra calming cleanser but at half of the cost. I also read somewhere that one shouldnt spurge on cleanser as they only stay on your skin for less than 1 mins. 


2. Shu Uemura - Yellow bottle cleansing oil - for make up removal 


 Next are my day time skincare routine , start from left to right.

Missha time revolution - RM150 - brought this from Korea last Aug .Lately there is the hype of the pre-toning step skin care such as first care serum ( sulhwasoo ) or MICRO ESSENCE ( estee lauder)  , 
According to website , this is similar to SK2 however is half of the price . It really seems to moisturize my skin and makes it glow even more and it doesn't breaks me up like SK2.

KOSE -kose sekkisei lotion - one of the best toner that i tried out . I try this previously in 2012 and after i finish using my estee lauder Radiant Vitality Energy Lotion , i went back to this one. 

Estee Lauder - Advance night repair - Best serum ever !!! - RM350 /50mL .
Was using this since 4 years ago . This is the main factor that contribute to my glowing skin .
I tried stopping this product and my skin went dull immediately. 

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream - Very moisturizing and fragrance free -RM105/50mL

Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily UV Defense SPF 50 - the onlysunblock which are not oily and fragrance free - brought the large size , 60mL for RM180 from Incheon Airport.



Below is my night routine , all the same except for the kiehl's midnight recovery concentrate - this is a night facial oil - only use for night . If you use in the day especially with malaysia weather , you prob look like roti canai !!
30mL - RM220 , recommended - 2 drops per usage .
30mL can last you for maybe 2 years .



I am no makeup guru and dont think have the qualification to recommend anything since i dont even bother to use make up . Talking about makeup- i realize that last year i did not wear any full set of make up last whole year since i unable to attend most of my friends wedding. Damm wasted !!
I tried to avoid wearing them , as i just too lazy to remove them.

Below are the few items that i love to use ,

1. Benetint from benefit - give my skin a healthy glow
2. Urban decay - eye shadow primer - min smearing
3. Dolly Wink liquid eye linear

Some of the masks that i loves to use ...

Lastly , sulwhasoo first care activating serum - so freaking expensive .RM250 /60ml .
Since it doesn't like my skin tht much , ended up i use it as a eye serum . Damm wasted.


Some valuable advice that i learn over the years :
1. Always wear sunscreen even at home - you never know when will you get expose to the sun
2. Protect yourself from the sun -All the time - Wish i knew that when i was younger - i prob able to avoid some pigmentation on my cheeks
3. Start using eye cream/serum and NEVER STOP !! i stop mine for 1 month and additional 1 line added to my eyes
4. Invest in quality skin care - your skin will thank you in the future
5. Go for Facial at least once a month

5 Things Women Should Not Wear After Age 30 - Jenny'S V

I was thinking today while stuck in the usual jam after work .... today is the 13 Dec , which means that in another 19 days this year will end and i will turn 31 years old .

At the same time thinking about "aging" , i was browsing through Carousell (new apps that enable us to sell our junk) , looking for any good buy and i spotted this :

This top and bottom is only sold for RM45 and i think it looks pretty cute . I can imagine me wearing them and than ....it hit me !!! omg , i am like 30 turning 31 and im dressing up trying to look like 18 . 

Browsing through google looking for articles on how to dress up as i do not want to look like this  :



I agree on some of their points but not all , so below are my own version on what women shouldn't wear after 30 : (to be honest i am still guilty of some of the items, oppsie)


Below are my list of things(mainly clothes) which i think women after 30 should not wear : 
1. Colourful funky socks 

2. Mini denin skirts ( im still guilty of this , i have a mini skirt which i brought like since 8 years ago and i still wear them. Good news is they still fit me very well but bad news is i should start to toss them out of my wardrobe
3.Converse shoe - looking like high school students , honestly i dont think any women should even wear them
4. Tube tops 
5. .Chunky platform heels-make you look like a portable iron .

I always read blogs/post about people doing What's in my bag post all the time . Since i haven't have anything to write , i'm going to do something different by doing a post on WHAT'S IN MY FRIDGE today!!!Pics below are taken 10 mins before writing this post. 
This is my 4 feet fridge in my house . Marcus brought it since 5 years ago and it is still functioning very well. 

Start off with the freezer section :

At the side, you will see some choc bar look alike - which is actually frozen food for my betta fishes. These are frozen brine shrimps - from Hikari . Yes , i share my fridge with my pets.
Refer below for pic of the melted block .
 DEAD Brine Shrimps - looks like mini Hea Bee !
At the bottom section you will see some block sticks

 These are old school milo ais cream .
 At the main freezer section are junk foods such as different type of fries(curly,wedges and normal ) and a pack of ayam mas sausages.

 Going down the bottom are more stuffs
 these 2 belong to my dog - canine omega3 - shortie supplement
Yogurt - her current fav topping
 Some hoegaarden beers; incase of insomnia or TGIF celebration !! and some nescafe cans to cure sleepiness .
 This one just join the fridge team yesterday : rojak sauce from the van in front of super tanker
 This belong to me : my gel mask ; need to keep this cold
 more sweets and choc on the top compartment.
 Marcus's current fav drink : marigold lemon peach teas air kotak . He drinks like 1 box everyd and still dont get fat !!! Damm!!

Cheap Skin Care Bonjour HK

On my lazy Sunday afternoon - browsing through the net - looking for the next skincare to try out and also my "cost saving" effort for finding cheaper source of skin care , I found out tht  Bonjour HK do provide international shipping ...

Bonjour HK

They charge USD5.16 for orders below USD 87.57 and free for orders above ...

See ... confirm they shipped to Malaysia ...Yippie ...

Price comparison for some items which i am currently using .
Malaysia Retail Price ,HK Bonjour and Strawberry.net  :



The best part are the range of skin care they offer ... example : Fancl , Dermalogical , Shu Eumura , SK II
I am surprise that some items such as Kiehl's are pretty cheap - example Midnight recovery purchase will have a savings of  nearly RM 72  .... sadly i have stock up extra bottles of midnight recovery and facial cream when I was in the US ...


Planning to try to purchase some items next month( Sulwhasoo , SKII and Fancl )  -cross my finger and hopefully they really do ship to Malaysia
