My Beauty Secret...

At last, I've completed my basic Maybelline make-up range in my make-up box. The last items that I insert in the box were the WATERSHINE Maybelline in Dragonfly Red, WhiteStay UV Base, and WhiteStay Mousse in Sand. Sounds like I'll be going to be the next Maybelline's new spokesperson. :p.
The almost-complete Maybelline's range.
Today I would like to share with you all the step-by-step basic to the beauty in you. Step 1: Wash your face with the suitable facial cleanser. I prefer Olay White Radiance Whitening Cleanser because it is a non-bubble soap and leaves my skin smoother and supple.
After-cleansing face. Natural and radiant.
Step 2: Apply Toner or Clarifying Lotion. One thing that I like about Olay is, you don't have to use Toner (just because it doesn't provide one in the White Radiance's range. :p). However, most of the beauty range provides & recommends the usage of Toner to 'awake' the new skin's cell and also to 'prepare' your skin before applying any moisturizers or creams.
Step 3: Apply moisturizer. Choose the same-range facial care to get the better result and to avoid skin's irritation. I use Olay White Radiance Lotion as its rich texture penetrates into my skin.
Dab the cream on your forehead, cheeks, chin, and nose for the total coverage
Step 4: Spread the cream all over your face with the clean hands. Apply cream onto the decollete area to balance the skin's tone especially if you use the whitening cream. Now, you can begin your make up session, or just be natural with the radiant and well-moisturized skin!

Fight the black & white heads!!!
If you love make-up, you'll know how does it feel when the black & white heads 'infest' your nose, the most visible place on your face. Fight it with Biore Pore Pack (Black). I'm a lucky person with no excessive acnes 'infested' my face. However, the black & white heads on my nose makes my foundation looks cakey and not well-blended. It's getting worst when I apply the concealer as the concealer couldn't blend well on the coarse nose's skin. Step 1: Wet your nose thoroughly. Step 2: Peel the Biore's strip form the plastic cover. Step 3: Patch the bare strip on to your nose. Spread the strips firmly with your fingertips. Step 4: Wait for about 10 - 15 minutes. Step 5: Peel the strip off your skin slowly to avoid redness or swollen skin. This process needs a relaxing mind and body as the peeling process is quite hurt.
Peel it off slowly to avoid sore on your skin. The white-heads stick to the strip! The white-heads-free nose!!
That's all for today!. We'll be learning how to apply a very basic make-up in the next blog. Take good care of your skin! See Ya!

My heavenly weekend

Last Saturday, as usual I wake up in the morning. I never thought of waking up earlier that morning. First thing that I did was friendster-ing and watching cartoon. It's just an ordinary Saturday which I bet the same old bored Saturday. Suddenly, my friend aka room mate rushed out with towel still in her hand and told me that the PTPTN just came out. As usual, hearing the loan had just entered, I was overjoyed and jumping around like a monkey - too excited and thinking of how am I going to spend the money later. New handphone, cloths, shoes, make-up stuffs and bla, bla, bla has been written in my must buy list. That day, the rainy day I told you,wasn't a lame excuse for us ehem..to shopping!!. My partner-in-crime, JD sugessted Summit USJ as our venue because of the reason, ermm it's cheap. We're took a cabby to Summit USJ. With a cost of RM15, it's not a big deal for us, ever since we're all becoming an 'OKBs'. That was the first time I went to Summit USJ, and the first item that I bought was the brand new sole - the lovely wedges. After I get my new wedges, we went to sink our teeth in our fave food. JD suggested waffles in one of the food stall ( or should I call it 'food shop'? whatever). I tried out the ordinary choco topping waffles. I was being understood by JD that the waffle's topping can be chose up to 3 toppings. Wow, if only I knew it was like that, I'd go for strawberry, choco and peanut butter as these combos is my fave.
Half of the waffles has been eaten. Quite tasty.
As I decided what to drink, Nza just wanted to taste the 'Champagne'. It's just 'Champagne' by its name but never taste like a real Champagne. If I'm not mistaken, it taste like a soda cream with crush iced, added with jello and coloured with blue as can be seen in this pix:
Champagne
I was being understood that the food stall also serves 'Bubur Manis' (pix below). This 'bubur manis' is a sweet red-bean porridge, in which I don't need to explain further. It's one of the Malaysia delicacies.
After filling up our tummy with the sweet snacks, we're strolling around Summit. Never thought that Summit was quite big (compare to Giant 13, of course). We're in and out the stores and just window-shopping at the mall. After a while, I was thinking on going to Sunway Pyramid, my fave paradise. Although the place is quite expensive and luxurious, it's a good thing to know that Sunway is the best place to chill out. And for an intermediate shopper like me (not yet becoming a shopaholic though), I prefer this place for it is beautiful and enjoyable. (The cinema is the best place for me). We took RapidKL to Sunway. Upon the reach, we found that several part of the mall has been built and I can't wait to see the complete building of 'Pyramid in the years to come. Not enough the delicacies at Summit, as promised, we went to Pizza Hut to try out the new menu, Dip-Licious. Ever since I 'lurrve' cheese so much, this is the best timing to try the cheesy moment with Dip-licious. As we're walking and searching for the 'Hut, we're shocked by the crowd at Pizza Hut. I just imagined that we've got to queue up to take order and waiting to be seated, as if we're entering the A-List pub of Zouk. Not to mention the queue, some of the waiting list were all fed-up of waiting. However, we're still waiting patiently, for the Dip-licious' sake. After we get the order, as usual, we took a snap at the cosy waiting area of the 'Hut...hehe..
We're a bit tired of waiting, (oh yes, as you can see in the pix). After a few minutes, we're being seated at the corner of the Hut and waiting for our Pizza to come. We're order the Dip-Licious combo for 4 person, afraid that it's not enough if we ordered the 2-person combo. As usual, we took some craze pix while waiting to be served with the Dip-licious...
And the moment of glory... we received:(pix) The must-available soup-of-the-day ,garlic bread (which has been eaten 1/2 of it),and a pitcher of Pepsi Max. upon the arrival of the pizza, we're overjoyed looking at it. However, it never look the way it advertised in T.V. The small cup (and very little) cheese was being place at the centre of the pizza without the steel stand!! So unhygienic!. I sketch out my complaint and you guys could feel the way I feel about this..
Whatever it is, the Thai Seafood topping is really delicious. I just love it when it comes to tuna. So I grab a slice of pizza with chunks of tuna and indulge!!!
Heavenly tasty!
The cheesy stix! Dip-licious!
The funny thing about eating that pizza , we're actually full after a slice of it. Ever since we ordered set of 4, we have to finish the extra pizza of the fourth and it was so full that we cant take the last sip of the drink. We're satisfy with the pizza, with a little cringe when we encountered a cockroach's nymph crawling on the wall after we finish eating! Not forgotten the service is lax and they're not deserved to get the tip! -duh-. I prefer eating pizza at Pizza Hut Tesco, and SACC Mall. Maybe it is too crowded at Sunway, then the 'Hut staffs neglected the hygiene of their premise. Anyway, that'd be the first and the last time I eat at Pizza Hut SUNWAY! With the full tank of tummy, we tried to digest it by walking around the mall. The Mall held the Salezilla which I love to seek (and perhaps buy) the branded stuffs. I can't forget the most excited moment of shopping where I bought the Paris Hilton's EDP, Just Me. With the 15% off, who could resist the price?. I chose the set with the pink-hearted shaped box with 50ml EDP and 7.5ml miniature together with the gorgeous pink-hearted compact mirror. It is worth to buy the set as I was attracted by the elegance smell of the EDP. At RM153, I feel like 'buying' Paris Hilton's glams and luxury!.Here's the pix of the luxury EDP of Paris Hilton.
Lovely & Luxury...
Just 'LOVE' Me!!
Not forgotten the collectible paperbag always my fave collection item.
Love her
Well, that was the last item and perhaps the most expensive item that I bought that day. Afterward, we went to window-shopping and our last shop was the lux TopShop, the Kate Moss' fave clothing line. I'd go and buy the cloths but I don't feel like I want to buy the new one. The price is 'Gila-Gila' one but too bad for me, the attire was just too wide. It look nice to me though but I'm not planning to buy it because I don't want to regret for wearing it like a pregger. It was just too big for my petite frame. The TopShop was the last place that we window-shopped that day. By 10.00pm, we took a cab to Shah Alam after the first 2 cabbies that we're wished to ride has offered the tremendously-unacceptable price of RM20 to Shah Alam! The first 2 attempts was asked by Nza. Maybe because he's a guy and the taxi driver just 'cincai' give him the extreme price of RM20. The third attempt was made by me and hoping that this time it price at the usual rate of RM15. And it really work!! I manage to get the RM15 worth of cab. Without any hesitations, we entered the cab and went straight to home, safely. Never thought that we'd be such stingy with the cab's price but not with the Paris Hilton's EDP. -DUH- That's me!

Transformers:More than meet the eyes

Aren't Bumblebee cute? Oh for heaven's sake it's Michael Bay's Transformers!. I just love this series since my childhood. (I never play Dollies till my mum 'forced' me to wear dress when I was 7.) I was like, Transformers? Into real life? Wow!!. Everyone keeps on talking about this movie (one of them is me), and what I want to review is, this movie is mi perfecto favorita! I couldn't run my glance to somewhere else from the beginning of the movie until the end of the credits. You can see how crazy I am about those Robots. Autobots, the main protagonist is my all time favorita. Decepticons, cruel and mean but never fails to impress me because they're mean and umm... determine. Leave those robots behind, I just love one of the Autobots (which makes me forgot that I already have boyfriend -duh-). Bumblebee!!. Bumblebee (Left Pix) is a Chevrolet Camaro 2008, and is the cutest Autobots I've ever seen. I think he's as cute as his name Bumblebee. Wish that I could have one. Other Autobots, like Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Ironhide are nice too. But I can't take my eyes off Bumblebee. Can't wait to watch the sequel. Michael, could you please quickly direct the second one..please? *wink**wink*
^The life-size Bumblebee....for real^
