My make up during company dinner in 2011

Just manage to get few of old pictures that taken during Siemens dinner last 15 April 2011. Think that time it was held in Sunway Pyramid hotal hall that year.

I prefer my look in this picture

Above is the picture of me with 2 gorgeous ex-colleague who still works in Siemens in the same department. Kudos to them for being with Siemens for more than 5 years.

I put my own make up that time since I prefer do it myself to save time and cost. Well that time my knowledge in make up still not much and less tools unlike nowadays.

I did put fake eyelashes that time. For me personally, when I look again this make up of mine I do think it is not bad based on my capability that time.

I do think I manage to get lucky draw of RM 200 worth of Metrojaya coupon. Which later I used to redeem perfume Jeans Paul Gautier that I have aimed since 2008. But unfortunately I am unable to trace the bottle after I move in to my current house😢

Till then, have fun in enjoying your company dinner😍

Blockage in alley between houses in my housing area in Taman Pulai Hijauan

Below is the list of obstruction in the alley between houses in my housing area.

1) vehicle parked in alley in between houses in Jalan Penaga 3

Iswara with plate number JFB 7815 

Plate number JGV 8973 

2) construction leftover put in alley in between houses since September 2017 in Jalan Penaga 2

This kind of obstruction really makes me angry especially when I need to use the alley for alternative route when the neighbor use main road for their events.

Try to imagine if there is fire and the road is unavailable for use? Would end horribly for the victim and would be many losses.

That is why it is very important to make sure these kind of facility always available for usage.

In terms of security regardless this neighborhood is gated guarded community, really worries me when I saw few of the neighbor along my road in Jalan Penaga 2 always leave their gate wide open regardless they only leave their house for a while. As people can come into their house compound and take whatever there. Which would be lots of hassle after that. Especially if these kind of people did not pay for the maintenance fees.

Below is my report last 12 March 2017 to MBJBT:

The sad part is the lorry with plate number JGV 8973 still being seen parked at the same place.

The Iswara with plate number JFB 7815 sometimes also parked in the same place.

Last time, even a trailer head with plate number BJV 5716 were parked in front of a house near to mine.

Plate BJV 5716

Pictures of the trailer head is taken last 4 February 2017.
I never saw how this trailer head able to squeeze through the guard gate in my area. Try to imagine if it is driven carelessly while kids roaming around near the road in the housing area. The driver won't feel a thing if run over them.
I also think there is rules where lorries, trailer, bus is not given the permission to park in housing area.

I do think we as part of the community need to do our part in keeping the neighborhood safe.
The resident associations also need to help find ways for enforcement in order to curb these kind of situations from keep on reoccuring with never ending solutions.

Till then, plase help to do your part by avoiding from obstructing the alley and close your gate everyday and every time😍

Managing visit to Western Digital for internship students last 10 July 2014

I was given task to manage an industrial visit to Western Digital during FKE, UTM student internship in 2014. It was just a visit to open students mind how industry works.

My review on Zoeva 104 Buffer brush

I manage to get my hands on this superb brush when I purchase the Zoeva pink classic elements set [1].

About Zoeva 104 Buffer brush [2]:

The 104 Buffer is a vegan foundation brush with a flat profile, great for applying and blending powder and mineral makeup. Its bristles pick up both cream and powder makeup without absorbing, making even makeup distribution possible for a flawless finish [2].

Picture credit to Sephora website [2]

Benefits
Suitable for sensitive skin
Has pore minimizing effect - creating a flawless look
Densely packed, perfect for blending
Made with vegan bristles
Comes in a gorgeous zipper bag

My verdict:
Pros:

1. Better make up distribution compare using my travel MAC Stippling brush. I do think brush selection here is crucial since this one does give good make up distribution which deliver flawless application when applying foundation/cc cream/bb cream/stick type foundation (no more streaky marks). I choose to use brush instead of beauty blender/sponge since it is much time efficient for me who is racing with time each time applying make up (no much time to spare to clean beauty blender after each make up application before racing to go work). Plus, this brush didn't take/absorb too much foundation compare to beauty blender/sponge
2. Longer life span compare to beauty blender
3. Suitable for daily usage. As can just wipe off via tissue the residue after daily application before deep cleaning in weekend

Cons:

1. The price per brush is quite on the high side

Conclusion:

1. Good for beginner or those who love to use brush over beauty blender/sponges
2. Worth to buy despite the price is quite on the high side

Barter trade keropok lekor with mulberry tree and make up brush cleaning service

Today my girlfriend invited me to come to her house to spend girls time. Since she is going to treat me with keropok lekor Terengganu, I decided to pack a mulberry tree and my make up cleaning tools as barter trade.

The packed mulberry tree for my girlfriend

The freshly fried keropok lekor

The make up brush cleaning service. I even use my own drying brush holder for easy and faster plus safer drying process

I do know and understand as a mother of 4 girls, would be hard to spend time taking care of her own make up brushes. That is why I am taking such initiative by doing so. Which I even bring my drying brush holder to help assist the drying process. 

Do make sure the brush bristle heading down to avoid water seeping into the brush ferrule and weakening the glue that holds the bristle together.
Clean make up brush promotes better skin conditions😉
Well, I do need and prefer my friends to look beautiful together😉 Much fun sharing the knowledge with those who appreciate it 😘

Till then, have fun in spending your weekend and clean your make up brushes😉

My review on L.A. Girl HD Foundation code Nude Beige

Today I am using L.A. Girl HD Foundation in code Nude Beige. Regardless it is 1 tone darker than my skin colour, it still 1 tone lighter than colour of skin at the back of my hand . Which is good since my face won't look too far away colour tone than the dark colour of skin at the back of my hand . If based on my face, neck  and arm tone colour, I might need to take code Fair or Porcelain colour of the HD foundation [1,2].

Details on PRO Coverage HD Illuminating Foundation by L.A. Girl [3]:

• Liquid foundation
• Long wearing, lightweight formula
• Medium to full coverage
• Smooth finish
• All day wear
• Anti-oxidants help hydrate & improve skin's appearance
• Available in 6 different shades
• Paraben free
• Quantity per bottle: 28ml

**LA Girl does not test on animals and is a proud member of the cruelty-free PETA organization

How to use [3]:

• Apply all over face using a brush or sponge.
• Best results for all day wear: Prep skin with L.A. Girl Pro.prep Face Primer, apply Pro.coverage Foundation, apply L.A. Girl Pro Conceal concealer, set with L.A. Girl PRO.Face Pressed Powder, seal in makeup by evenly misting L.A. Girl PRO.Setting Spray.

My verdict:

Pros:

1. It does give good coverage to my skin. 1 pump sufficient enough to cover my whole face using Zoeva 104 Buffer brush [5]. I do think brush selection here is crucial since this one does give good make up distribution which deliver flawless application. I choose to use brush instead of beauty blender/sponge since it is much time efficient plus more hygiene convenient for me who is racing with time each time applying make up. Which I could just wipe off the access via tissue and kept the brush in clean case after usage and eliminate the need to clean up after usage using water for beauty blender/sponge. What like is this brush didn't take/absorb too much foundation since the texture is quite runny/watery which definitely be absorbed more in  beauty blender/sponge usage

Cons:

1. No where stated this foundation have SPF protection. Therefore, I use one thin layer of my CC cream that have SPF as precaution before applying the foundation
2. Need to use loose powder to set it since I found it quite wet after application
3. Have plastic scent. However it vanish gradually during application process

Conclusion:

• Good coverage. I don't need concealer at all. I like it since less is more to my precious time

My review on Dior Addict EDP version 2012

I happen to be able to own Dior Addict EDP version 2012 in a capacity of 100 ml.

Notes in Dior Addict EDP version 2012 [1]:

Top:       Silkwood Blossom, Mandarin Orange, Orange Blossom

Middle: Night Blooming Cereus, Bulgarian Rose

Base:     Vanilla, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean

The 2012 bottle has a gold ring and a gold cap:

Have to twist the top knob from 0 to 1 to enable the perfume to be sprayed

For me, it smell more like elegant smokey vanilla scent. Which is not overpowering yet I can't get enough of it.

The sillage is moderate. However this perfume really win in longevity department. Yesterday I use only 1 spray before going out around 11 am as I prefer soft sillage and reapply if required. I am able to smell the soft scent of the perfume when about to take bath after get home. That time almost 15 hours after I spray it. Then the next day when I am going to take bath around 9 am, I am still able to trace the soft scent of the perfume. A very powerful and definitely worth to buy.

My alternative way to make my room smell nice for sleep time

Last time during my degree, I used oil burner to make my room smell nice. However after start working, I found oil burner to be tedious and not safe. As I have to monitor the water level as it will dissipate faster after it gets hotter. Which the oil burner will crack if the water dried out when leaves unattended. Could also leads to fire hazard if unattended. Regardless the room will be fragrant faster  using oil burner compare using humidifier. And I need to use a specific type of candle to use with this oil burner.

Therefore, my alternative is to use humidifier. Well for my humidifier, this one is better as its design is spill proof.

Till then, have a good time to dreamland with fragrant room scent😍

I just leave the pegaga plant roam all over my inner land area. Since this type is the biggest of all, therefore it is not able to dominant the land area. Because I also have various type of creeping plants in the inner land area such as pumpkin and sweet potatoes.

My review on Micellar Water from Maybelline

I bought it last 20 September 2017 after I happen to saw it in Lisa Eldridge blog. Where she was using Bioderma. It was among her favourite skincare products [1].

Well that time while I was in Watson in Jusco Taman Universiti, they only have Micellar Water from Silkygirl and Maybeline. At that time the quantity of Micellar Water from Maybelline is 400 ml and Silkygirl is a pack of 2 where each consist quantity of 150 ml.

Micellar Water from Maybelline price is around RM 33 after offer while Silkygirl is RM 27 after offer

Due to pricing and quantity wise, I choose Micellar Water from Maybelline [2].

From Maybelline website, it is stated that Micellar water from Maybelline is a 4 in 1 cleanser where it able to removes makeup, cleanses, tones, and moisturizes skin without the stinging feel. All in just one step! [2].

WHAT IT IS MICELLAR WATER [2]:

Remove your makeup and keep skin hydrated with Maybelline’s new water-based formula. No more double cleansing needed - it removes makeup, cleanses, tones and moisturizes in one step!

BENEFITS [2]:

Water-based formula that removes makeup, cleanses, tones, and moisturizes with just one swipe; soothes and hydrates skin as it removes all traces of makeup, oil, and other impurities; fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and oil-free for no-sting cleansing.

HOW TO USE / APPLY [2]:

STEP 1: Slightly moisten a cotton ball or tissue with the remover.

STEP 2: Gently press and hold for several seconds against your closed eyelid.

STEP 3: Gently wipe off. Rinse eye area with water.

STEP 4: Wait five seconds then wipe with tissue.

Pros:

- it is easy to use. Just put few drops on cotton ball or tissue and wipe your make up

- doesn't dry my skin due to it's toning function.

- nice to be used to wipe make up for correction compare to using oil based make up remover. Since it enable me to resume make up especially when in a rush.

- need to decant into smaller bottle for daily usage.

- mild to my eyes. Doesn't sting at all.

Cons:

- need more than 2 wipes for the make up to be removed completely.

My verdict:

It really worth to buy regardless there are plenty water based make up remover. Very convenient for those who are like to put make up after every prayer like me. Since I prefer using this Micellar Water compare to make up wipes due to longer lifespan and more hygiene.

Till then, have fun in removing your make up.

Well while I was cleaning the cage and plucking the mulberries, Dell do accompany me during the time regardless his food being served.
