Review: Too Faced Born This Way Foundation

Hey guys! I finally purchased the latest foundation from Too Faced after so much of review watching on Youtube. As expected, it has become one of my favourite foundations! If you guys haven't know, I am a beauty enthusiast therefore I appreciate all the beauty products in the world including candles, perfumes and all. Therefore, that explains why I love trying on new products! End of crapping, lets get this started!

This is an oil-free foundation masterfully diffuses the line between makeup and skin. For coverage so detectable, you can't see the makeup and you can't see imperfections- all that's left is naturally radiant skin that looks like you were Born This Way.

First of all, lets take a moment to appreciate the beautiful packaging and all. Seriously, Too Faced products are always beautiful inside and outside. It comes with a pump so you need not to worry on overusing the product. I've been using this for a couple of weeks now and I am in love with it! The foundation's coverage is very build-able, which is the kind of foundation I always ought to go for. During the days where I feel like going for a natural look, one small pump is more than enough for my whole face. During the days where I feel like going for a perfect skin look (Which I do not have at all), I would build the coverage a few more pumps, small ones. I got it at the shade of Nude, which I think is a little bit too pale on me. If I were to repurchase this product in future I would get the Warm Nude one. Also, I purchased it at Sephora Sunway Pyramid at a retail price of RM145. 

On some days, with this foundation, my face gets a bit shiny during the day. However, on some days, my face stays natural all day. I think it really depends on what kind of primer I am using. Speaking of primer, I'll try to make a review on a few of primers that I own!

I hope you guys find this useful. Till then!

CNY 2016

Chinese New Year is one of my favourite festivals because not only I get to have scrumptious meals every single day; most importantly, I get to spend time with my beloved family and friends. This year's celebration is one of my favourites as each day was beautifully spent with lots of laughter!

My brothers and a few of my beloved cousins!

Chor 1: My first time wearing cheongsam to be honest. Had a hard time finding a cheongsam that I like. Luckily I found this gorgeous gold embroidered cheongsam from Tango in OneUtama when shopping with my mum.

  Meet my Australian cousins! They had been staying at my place for approximately a month and time flies, they are back to Melbourne. Its such a shame that I couldn't bring these girls to explore more since my mum and I were so busy for CNY. Anyway, I'll see them soon in Melbourne so that is fine!

1/8/2015-4/8/2015 First Bangkok bound

Yes, it was my first time going oversea with my friends, to Thailand. I still have no idea why didn't I do it sooner! It was so much fun. The food was amazing and I got so many clothes at a great deal!!

In my opinion, this was the best dinner we had in Thailand, which was our first dinner too.

The fish was fried and sprinkled with salt only. It was the best fried fish dish I've ever had.

The tom yam soup was flavourful too. Not to forget about my favourite squid dish. Even the fruit juices we got from the other stall were delicious!

After dinner, we went to a night market by taking a cab since it was drizzling. We came across this stall where you can customize your own bracelet by choosing the colour of the straps, choosing the charms and etc. That lady was so patient despite our serious hesitation. This is a picture of my lovely friend, Karyuin, customizing for her friend; and Seam, customizing for me.

We got some macaroons from the night market too. They were so cheap but they tasted so so good. 

Of course I could not forget about my favourite drink in Thailand. It tastes like a combination of Vitagen and Yakult. It was so cheap and I really suggest you to give it a try. 

Since young when I watch Taiwan beauty show, celebrities be talking about Chatuchak market. They always describe it as a heaven for people who love shopping, which I happen to be one of them. Therefore, it was a must for us to squeeze it in our schedule. This is a picture of me and my friends, Dickson, Karyuin and Seam having lunch at Chatuchak market. 

This is another highlight of Thailand. Their mochi ice-cream!!! They were so tasty that Karyuin and I kept hunting for it wherever we went in Bangkok. I've tried a variety of flavours of it and they all tasted great. This is highly recommended if you're looking for something new to try.

This was taken during our dinner at Terminal 21 food court, a famous shopping mall in Bangkok with a clear theme for each floor. We were more interested with food so we didn't explore much. The price of the food is reasonable surprisingly. Mango sticky rice was so so good!

This was probably later that night, our supper. We simply ordered some street food and chilled while it was drizzling. The banana pancake, ordered by Seam was surprisingly good.

Just by doing this short throwback post already makes me salivate. I really can't wait to go there again and explore more about Thailand. 

One of the days in Guangzhou

I think I'll start doing some throwback posts if I do not have anything to post hah. So I went Guangzhou last year with my parents. People always tell me how China is so dirty and all. Fortunately, I hadn't seen that part of China when I travelled in their country. Some toilets at the streets were in fact cleaner than the toilets in Malaysia.

Anyway, we took train to different stops to have some shopping spree that day. We spent a lot in H&M. The price is more or less the same as Malaysia's. I guess my dad hadn't got time to shop for himself and therefore, those 3 huge bags of clothes. 

Daddy booked a room at his favourite restaurant where he visits often when he comes China for work. The atmosphere was really good. The amount of liquor you can choose is ridiculous. However, I wasn't very impress with the food though. 

After dinner, we went to this tourist place where you have to book a seat on a boat and they'll bring you a tour to have a look at the overall Guangzhou river. Along the river you get to see all sort of buildings and they were amazing.

Overall, I think it was worth the wait!

Will definitely recommend people to take this boat ride.

Fieldwork Project

Interviewed this beautiful strong woman yesterday, for our Cultural Anthropology fieldwork project yesterday at Kajang. Seriously, it was my first attempt interviewing someone and I learnt a lot.

We've been working on the questions for quite some time. I feel like I should've brushed up my Malay language before the interview so I could communicate better with this single parent. On a brighter side, I have these amazing team members who constantly hinted me what to do and all. 

I was feeling hungry after the interview. Knowing that Kajang is well known for their satay, we had to give it a try. However, the taste of the satay is just okay for me, all I could say is, I had better ones.

But that is totally fine, as I had a great time listening to the stories of my team members and understanding them more. We chatted for about 3 hours+ and we went back to Subang. 

Overall it was an amazing day, and I can't wait to finish up our assignment!

p/s: Not being very productive nowadays because there are so much stuffs to be done.

Signing offfff.

Unexpected gift

So he passed me this huge basket in the car last Friday morning for our monthsary. My heart melted, not because of the gift but his effort, to put a smile on my face. It wasn't a very smooth week for me. However, this totally brightened up my day! He actually booked seats for our dinner at an unknown restaurant too. I enjoyed every moment :)

One of those days

Have you ever felt like you're surrounded by so many things that you hardly breathe. These are the pressures people can never understand. They say we're still young to have things to worry. But really, I just feel so depressed, maybe not always, but quite often. Have you felt the same way?
