台湾回來后，肌膚不知怎么的，變得好干好干。
痘痘也一直冒個不停，这里好了那里又冒出来了，肤色很差很差。
痘痘之外，留下的痘疤问题對我來說是最大困扰。

久違的朋友一見到我就被我的肌膚問題給嚇壞。我為了不想嚇壞人，每天若不化妝必定不出門。
結果，肌膚問題變本加厲。

護肤产品换了一款又一款，就在我快絕望是，朋友介紹我用自然本鋪(BACK TO NATURE)的手工皂美容護膚品，它是以100% 冷法Cold Crafted 配製。

剛開始，我很質疑它的功效，因為它所選用的材料皆取自於大地所孕育出的天然資源。
我想說化學品都對我的臉束手無策了，何況是天然資源。

朋友要我別瞧低大致然的能力。畢竟，自然本鋪的手工皂美容護膚品是以冷壓植物油品、豐富的滋潤之王——乳油木果為基底，加入含有療效作用的藥草及精油，再以少量生產來保持天然原料的新鮮度和品質。

我試用了以下的幾種后，驚為天人。
它完完全全讓我體驗到那天然的全新感受，給了我肌膚零負擔！

其中我最為愛不釋手的是：

非洲黑泥乳香煥膚皂
Somalian Frankincense & African Black Soap

- 適合中性與干性膚質 （清潔，抗菌，去角質，祛痘）

第一次用肥皂洗臉，戰戰兢兢的，洗了后狂照鏡子，畢竟若保养不当反而会使皮肤变得更糟糕。
但，用了兩次后臉上的紅腫真的消退了，這讓我由驚又喜！

真的，兩次就見效了。
而且，每一次洗過后都感覺很干凈！

第二大愛：

Spanish Petitgrain natural Floral Water Skin Tonic

（迅速保濕）

無論是一早起床或是在工作中，感覺肌膚干燥時都可以往臉上噴一噴，保持肌肤的弹性与活力！！

我也很喜歡：

American Shea Butter Anti Wrinkle Eye Cream
乳油木果眼霜

人人都說眼周最善于出賣女人的年齡，說以一定要好好保養！
是時候開始用抗皺紋眼霜了！

明显减缓眼周干燥及细纹，擊退眼周的啞淡膚色。
保濕之余也不油膩。

建議使用方法：放進冰箱冷藏，擦在眼上冰冰的，很舒服！

不可缺少的：

Snuggle Me Super Rich & Moisturizing Hand and Body Cream

馬來西亞的太阳又毒又辣，肌肤一定要补水！

保湿功效響當當，款质地清爽锁水时间长。

從今天開始，就讓您的肌膚回歸到那最天然最淳淨的時刻，同時也為保護環境盡一份力，還給孩子一個乾淨的地球。Let’s go back to nature!

emotions have been running wild these days. and one definite thing i would do when my life got me down, other than shopping, it would be changing my hairstyle.

yes, i have been bullshitting bout my sudden change, i said it’s because i am sick of my long boring hair.

truth is, i was pretty obsessed over my long hair though it’s in a terrible condition with lots of splits and flyaway, but somehow, this time, i just couldn’t resist the urge to chop it off. i know, i need a change.

woke up early in the morning that day, went straight to the saloon and had my hair chopped off. T____T long story short, yes, i finally have the courage to chop off my long flowing hair after so long. so, how is it?

p.s. – went to kimmarie for cut and wash, and it’s only rm25. i thought it gonna be a ripoff because i chopped off so much of my hair.

“Now we’ve got Rapunzel, she’s chilling in the tower,
waiting for the handsome prince,
she’s sapped of all her power.
Finally, one day, the handsome prince in town
called up to Rapunzel, ‘Yo girl, let it down!’
But our dear Rapunzel was nowhere to be seen,
yes our dear Rapunzel had learned something keen:
‘All that time alone kinda taught me how to cope,
so I shaved my head and I made me a rope!’” -Alix Olson, Eve’s Mouth

hello, justine.♥

have been travelling so much these days.

that day…

kepong –> midvalley –> pavillion –> srihartamas –> centerpoint –> srihartamas –> sunway

i ♥ pavillion’s mirror.

meet emelie. (:

my usual spot, STARBUCKS.
egg mayo sandwich for brunch almost everyday.

Tried out the pearl milk tea which everyone’s been talking & blogging about it.

GONGCHA’s pearl milk tea.

then, CHATIME’s pearl milk tea for the very first time.
yes, both on the same day. awesome much.

Their pearls are equally addictive.

but, chatime vs gongcha.
i preferred the later.

Gongcha is ♥.

cheers. ♥

so yea, i had a booth to let go my preloved items at Commfest, Taylor Lakeside last friday.
**bought the big black bow from the booth next to us. it’s just RM10, grabbbb!

didn’t really bring in many new stock.
most of it are preloved that i really need to let go.

my gorgeous partner, grace. ♥

my sweetheart, shinyeee was there too, but she left much earlier because her brother was ill.
*no photo with her. T.T

a new friend i met there, loke yi. she’s real outgoing.

& here comes the pretty girls with superb short mini skirt pants.
people always say pretty girls are all biatchy. i just couldn’t agree with that, mehhhh, these girls are mad friendly!

*heartsssss♥

cheryl, e-jia, katherine and chaoyan.
i look so freaking short here, shit!

sales wasn’t as good as what i expected. but it’s okay, i gain heaps of fun! and bought pretty stuff which are mad cheap!

cheers! ♥

It was a busy Saturday with lots of appointments ahead, but Tongue in Chic bazaar just got us all ( adelechow, ameliaang and me) there. It’s irresistible for shopaholics like us, they have got almost everything there, be it brand new or pre loved.

Chic POP Street Market was at TTDI Plaza. TTDI Plaza is so near yet so far because we kept losing our way, and ended up went to Mont Kiara instead, FOL. Brilliant I called my walking GPS, baby, and he guided us all the way to TTDI plaze, ish, should have called him earlier. So yea, we are able to reach there around 4pm, parked “illegally” and rush up to the bazaar. Amelia and Adele grabbed clothes real fast, in 10mins time, they already have 2-3 pieces in hand. &, I’ve got nothing. -.-

Walked around, and there’s this booth that caught my attention.
Probably it was crowded with human beings.

Being the usual curious me, I walked nearer to check things out.
I saw —- “DIY make your own whisper pouch”.

I am that type of person that I know I sux in it, yet it wouldn’t stop me from trying.
Yes, I mean sewing.

I love ribbons, and those pretty ribbons on the deck really got me glued.

I then got myself an undecorated pouch and start working on it while the two girls continue their shopping.

& tadah.. this is the end product!! **veryproud

Ern, actually…. I lied, that’s not mine. -.- That belongs to a pretty girl that can sew really good.
Mine? Errr, I think I shouldn’t exposed it here, buttons and ribbons dropping here and there. *closedeyes.

still, it’s a good experience, I’d say.

Besides the ready-made pouches you can pimp up with chio studs and blings, you can also be part of the ‘Photo Taking’ camaraderie at the ‘Happy Overnights by Whisper’ booth that took place during Chic POP Street Market 5 on the 9th of October 2010 at TTDI Plaza. We girls are challenged to demonstrate the freedom of movement and assurance and pose cheekily in front of the camera.

The ultimate poser will be in the running to win a slumber party with four other friends at the Ritz Carlton. &, you will be receiving a sleepover bag filled with toiletries, cosmetics and skincare for each and every one of you to take you through the experience. Sweet, yes?! I WAS THERE, but sadly, I don’t have the time to take a photo! **regret maxxxxxx!

But its okay, I am now in the process of capturing photo of me, because, I can still send in my entries to contest@tonguechic.com with the header: ‘Happy Overnights by Whisper’. Want to see my photo? Be patient, you will see it at http://happyovernights.tonguechic.com/, soon!

Closing date is on the 28 November 2010 and the winners will be announced on 19 November 2010.

Also, I received a super long WHISPER nights sample, coincidently, this is exactly the one I am using now. I like it a lot. It’s my life saver, because I never like thick pads, but you know it’s just kind of impossible to wear thin pad to bed cause you are so gonna get your bed stained. Ugh, that sucks. my mom then recommended me to use Whisper Super Long Overnights! The pad is not very thin, but its superb absorbency will defos make you forgive the other. Plus, it does not cause any discomfort, this is something that got me totally blew away!

thinking of trying it?

here come the chance, because I will giving away 10 samples. all you need to do is, to leave a comment on my blogpost (with your blog url) answering this question: ‘Describe yourself in one word.’ (eg. fresh/vibrant etc). The first 10 answers will win, and will be contacted by the Nuffnang staff.

If you have the same problem like me, Whisper will definitely be your period nights’ best friend!

p.s. – i really want to win the slumber party with four other friends at the Ritz Carlton. it’s like so “gossip girls” feel! fellow lovelies, let’s take part together!

Cheers! ♥

October 15th, 2010 by tziaaa

it was our sem-break gathering again.
met up with the bunch at KLCC, and while waiting for everyone to reach, we stopped by at Godiva Chocoiste.

Everyone has been telling me that Godiva Chocoiste‘s chocolate are superb. Bought this Dark chocolate Raspberries (rm27). i only realized that it’s a dark chocolate after paying, i never like dark chocolate that goes with fruits (e.g. raspberries) because i think it had takes away the natural fav. of the fruits itself. equally, i did not like this much, i actually prefer the one from Cadbury much much more (& it’s so much cheaper). :/

talking bout chocolate, i never like chilled chocolates too, i prefer it when it’s melted a little because it will be real creamy in your mouth, and when it slides down…. ahh, awesome!

chocolate is deffos my fav. guilty pleasure! ♥

they said i slimmed down. **bigwidesmile

the thing is…. i actually picked up the habit of having supper every night before i sleep lately, thanks to Baby. FML. & yea, the amount of food i consumed these days is easily 3x the amount i used to have. so it’s pretty much a good news to me, that  i did not gained any weight and look as if i had lose some! awesome!

had Nando‘s for lunch. it has been so long since i had Nando’s!
ordered hot 1/4 chicken with 2 sidelines.

heavenly, as usual!
oh great, my Nando’s addiction is back! ♥

we spent around 2 hours at Nando’s updating each others with our latest stories. i hearts splendid moments like this and time usually passed unacceptably fast during these time.

these are my awesome ex-classmates.
from left : Leanne, Ruby (maggie’s sis), Maggie, yours truly, Ian, & Rubber.

Maggie is a attest sweet-stuff lover just like me.
went Marks and Spencer and bought of crazily chio sweet-stuff. ♥

- piggy biscuit – rm15
- percy pig and pals gummies – rm7 (non halal, -.-, somehow)
- mini milk choc all butter biscuit – rm10
- belgium white and milk chocolate coated summer fruits – rm15 (this is my fav. among all, it’s damm yummy! ♥♥♥)

most of my make up “gadgets” are sponsored, and now it’s all running out. I have to restock it using my own cash. FML, i never know make up products can eat up so much money!

- Benefits The Porefessional – rm12o
- Benefits High Beam – rm102

used it twice already, i will call myself a satisfied customer of Benefits. (it would be better if it’s cheaper though)

my previous eyeliner went M.I.A.

Ruby suggested me to get the one from Loreal. i rate it 5/10 as it smudged pretty fast, good thing is the color is real vivid!

later at night, followed baby for a birthday celebration for his grandmother!

she’s by far the most open minded popo i ever seen!

happy birthday, popo! ♥
may you stay healthy and happy always!

that’s all for now.
cheers. ♥

October 11th, 2010 by tziaaa

Baby used to tell me that he doesn’t like me to put on makeup, he said, I look pretty enough without it. Well, that’s when I have skin which is this good. Basically, flawless. ♥

Sadly, my skin condition from good, it turns bad, & then, worse. All thanks to my stressful-not-so-healthy lifestyle these days. I can barely live without makeup now, FML. Baby too, no longer stop me from putting on makeup. Ugh, I must have look damm bad without it. T.T

The only consolation is…
i CAN still look good….

with make up + strong flash+”meituxiuxiu”…

Without those, I look like this:

extremely dry & dull skin, acnes, blackheads, whiteheads, uneven skin tone…etc.

nah, close closed up.
look at the nasty rough and spotty skin! *closedeyes

If you think that’s horrible, not yet. wait till you see this:
over dried nose full of blackheads.

that’s what we call a strawberry nose. Ern, yea.
I have been squeezing it so often till the pores are so visible. Ugh.

bad enough?
at least, I bet you people never expect my skin can be that bad huh?

It could have been worst, because makeups make my skin worse. I know couldn’t afford to leave it “just like that”. Hello, I am just 19, and I don’t want to apply makeup 24/7 for the rest of my life. & so, I started searching all over for products that could overcome all these problems.

until one day, I got a call from Nuffnang, telling me that I am assigned to do a review for b.liv by cellnique skin care. & they actually asked me bout my skin condition, I told them the main problems of my skin now (extremely dry & dull skin, acnes, blackheads & whiteheads). My skin type: combination-dry skin.

Just few days after that, I received a beautiful packed parcel by them. ♥

I was dead eager to try out the products probably because I was real sick with my bad skin.

1. DRENCH ME moisturizing cleansing gel
2. OFF WITH THOSE HEADS blackheads sebum gel
3. SUBMERGE ME moisturizing booster
4. SHIELD ME moisturizing sunblock
5. LEACH ME moisturizing mask

& this is what I’ve been doing for the past 2 weeks.

p.s. – I especially love the Chinese name of these products… it’s so convincing, you see?

#STEP 1 DRENCH ME moisturizing cleansing gel ♥

official product description:
This ultra-silky weightless gel cleanser frees your face from impurities, while ensuring your skin’s much needed moisture never flees. Seaweed, Aloe Vera and Green Tea extracts – a robust combination in a hydrating cleanser that ensures your skin stays supple and moist. Together with antioxidant properties, Drench Me keeps aging signs at bay.

1. Use Drench Me daily, morning and night.
2. Wet your face.
3. Pump 1 to 2 pea-sized drops of Drench Me onto your wet palm and lather with water.
4. Apply over your face and neck in up and outwards circular motions.
5. Rinse well with plenty of water.

My honest verdict:
my previous cleansers are always either unable to clean my face thoroughly or it almost peels off my skin leaving it terribly dry. I like DRENCH ME moisturizing cleansing gel pretty much because I am really surprise that my morning oils can be remove so gently with such small amount of it, leaving it squeaky clean yet retaining its moisture. So yea, I really do like it a lot because it makes my face feel so clean and refreshing! The price of this product is about the price of the one I am using now (L brand). I guess it’s time for a change, I am certainly sure I will purchase this again. I really love this heaps! Shooo awesome!

#STEP 2 OFF WITH THOSE HEADS blackheads sebum gel ♥

official product description:
Say goodbye to painful squeezing! This light cooling gel promises to remove stubborn blackheads and whiteheads painlessly in just 14 days of application and stop them from appearing ever again. It keeps excessive oil secretion under control and skin irritation will never rule again.

1. Use Off With Those Heads daily, morning and night, after cleanser.
2. Pump 2 to 3 pea-size drops of Off with Those Heads onto your palm.
3. Apply on T-zone areas, or areas with blackheads and white heads.

My honest verdict:
To be honest, I was pretty skeptical at first, I was thinking how is it possible that this can “remove stubborn blackheads and whiteheads painlessly in just 14 days of application and stop them from appearing ever again”. & they have this money back guaranteed thing, within two weeks with receipt and leftover portion. With a doubtful heart, I tried it. & I am truly AMAZED that how I am able to spot the different after using for a few times! My mom was surprised and we are thinking of getting another bottle for my brother (his blackheads condition in 10 times worse than mine). However to have it completely off your face, it takes time. So, be patience. Well I think it works better for blackheads than for whiteheads, so yea, it really does live up its name, here you go, “off with those heads”.

Here goes the before and after. Amazing, no?
*ahhh, I did not edit those photos! That’s my exact skin condition.

#STEP 3 SUBMERGE ME moisturizing booster ♥

official product description:
Thirsty? With the new “SKIN BIO-MIMIC” technology, Submerge Me offers deep moisture penetration to serve intensive and instant relief to parched skin as well as brightens dull complexions and calms skin irritations. Take our advice; it’s best to take the plunge with Submerge Me’s faithful mate – the ever popular Leach Me.

My honest verdict:
I was using another moisturizer before this, my awfully dehydrated face turns greasy/oily very fast and it get greasier and greasier for the whole day, but the beautician kept telling/psycho-ing me that this is normal because it’s trying to absorb it in. I feel like I got cheated now, because submerge me is not greasy/sticky. Okay, it’s a lil tad greasy at first, but after a minute or two, after it absorbed into my skin, it leaves my skin smooth. The thing that I love most bout this product is that it does not clog up my pores with excess oils and cause me to break out! As for the age preventing, hmmm, I have not see any effect yet. BUT, hmm, this is a lil pricey for me. If I got extra cash when it runs out, I will get it again.

nose area condition is way better than before, as in it is not that dry already.

a compare using the same photo, but focus at the side of the nose. & you’ll notice the difference.

#STEP 4 SHIELD ME moisturizing sunblock ♥

official product description:
This light-weight moisturizing sunblock protects you from harmful UVA and UVB rays and repairs the exposed or damaged areas on your face. Easy to use, absolutely non-greasy, fast absorption and effective!

My honest verdict:
I had never like sunblock, what more when it’s apply on face. I hate the smells of the typical sunblock and detest how greasy it can be(always say not greasy/sticky but always end up as lies), ugh! But I have to review it whether I like it or not, so I really did try out SHIELD me. It has an SPF OF 25, which means it will be able to shield you from the harm UV rays from 250mins. The lower the SPF, the less greasy it would be. Furthermore, I think SPF 25 is more than enough. Oh, and did I mentioned that this would be probably the only face sun block that I would use. Just because not only it’s not sticky when it’s able to retain the moisture level of your skin, it smells pretty good too, it’s like some sort of light tropical blend scent. Me likey! However, I wouldn’t purchase it again after it runs out. Just, I am not that kind of sunblock person. But don’t get me wrong, I do like this product, just that with that price… when I have got cash I will rather spend it on DRENCH ME or OFF with those HEADS. It’s just that I would probably need those more than SHIELD ME. I think my girlfriend, shinyee will loves this though, and she has been telling me so often that how imp sunblock is and how much we need it, but I am stubborn just like that. Hmm.

#STEP 5 LEACH ME moisturizing mask ♥

official product description:
A 3-in-1 hydrating mask, Leach Me moisturizes, prevents signs of aging and restores your healthy glow. Bursting with natural fruity ingredients, this masks acts fast in penetrating these nutrients into your skin. Your lines will refine, your dryness will vanish, and the mirror will reveal a beaming face once again!
Look at the amount of serum in it! It’s dripping when I took it out!

My honest verdict:
& again, I don’t have the habit of pampering myself with masks. I had tried my beautiful diary’s mask, and I got break out straight on the next day. That’s the source of my phobia for masks. I was quite scared when I try this mask, just so afraid that I will wake up with red dots all over the next day. But, nahhh, I got rid of the flaky skin instead. This is probably the most moisturizing product in its whole moisturizing range. I feel my skin is so moisture after putting on the mask, I don’t even need to apply moisturizer after that, left over serum on my face did the job! It left my skin real supple, but I haven’t noticed the brightening and age preventing effect yet. Guess, that takes time too. I am satisfied with LEACH me.

As a conclusion, I am quite pleased and satisfied with the entire product above. I did not compliment these products just because it’s an advert but because I genuinely like it a lot. The only drawback will be the price, like what I’ve mention; it’s definitely a lil pricey from a UNI student like me. But I really got addicted after trying it out, perhaps I shall work harder and save some money for my next restock when it runs out.

p.s. – baby gonna love my naked face again! Heh!

October 6th, 2010 by tziaaa

Yes, whatever mean shyt the canteen’s auntie said is true. T_T

my hair looks like some super dried grass, FML. what cheer me up a little is that, there’s still people that got cheated by my “healthy hair (after blowed, straightened, styled, etc.)“.

I said, “If only, I know these deadly sins earlier, I would treat you better.”

but even though, I’ve know all those now, I did not treat my hair any better simply because I want to look good. Yes, I am very guilty, but just like what people always say, “女人愛美不要命”, I couldn’t afford to go out with my messy and dried looking hair. Sigh.

But, today I woke up with super good hair!

Since I already have super good hair, ♥ I don’t even need to spend lots of time straightening it and all. All I do is make my hair look even better by blowing it making it look a lil wavy, & hello, I don’t feel guilty anymore!

All thanks to Dove Intense Repair Range that protect my hair from future damage inside out. Why and how? Let’s flashback on what I did yesterday.

First, I use the DOVE intense repair shampoo to clean my hair.

Apply a quarter size of shampoo on your palm, lather in then massage it all over your head.
lastly, rise through with cold water.

p.s. – it’s okay to rise it off with warm water if you are taking a warm bath, but do rise it with cold water after that.

I like it as it cleans well, and isn’t drying.

Next, I use the DOVE intense repair conditioner.
Squirt a cherry sized amount of shampoo onto your hand and rub your hands together.

Do remember that conditioner is only for the hair. Do not dig it through your scalp because it will make your hair greasier way faster. Work it through your hair, starting about halfway down to the tips.

Leave it for a few minutes before you rise it off.

Honest opinion: It’s isn’t enough to moisture my super dry hair (meh, it’s just the first time me using it) but the softness is seriously unbeatable. My damaged hair felt drastically smoother and softer after conditioning! I love it! ♥

Lastly, towel dried it.
Do it gently, as aggressive toweling may be the culprit of frizzy hair.

Did I mention that, it smells freaking good too? Heh!

Oh, it doesn’t just end there.

There’s another 2 heroes is this intense repair range, the leave-on cream and overnight treatment.

However, the key highlight is the overnight treatment. Do you know that night time provide perfect opportunity to inject new life to your hair, same goes to your face and all? Dove knows it well, and that’s why overnight treatment is introduced.

Just 2-4 pumps of this light weight product massaged into your towel dried hair, and left it overnight will help replenish vital protein lost in just ONE night.

I believe in it so much that I didn’t even comb my hair. I went off to bed just like that, wishing that I would have beautiful hair the next day I woke up.

&, obviously, It did not failed me.

i had discovered the beauty of over night care. & I really did wake up with revitalised hair. I am freaking serious that my split ends are now less visible. Even, Baby was amazed!

The intense repair range is a range with a unique, patented combination of advanced repairing fibre actives and micro moisture serum. The dual action technology means hair is protected from future damage inside out, leaving hair 5 times stronger.

I can now have the freedom to style and look pretty without feeling guilty. It is all because I know Dove will take care of the damage! Oh, it also claims that if you use it you will have 5 times less split ends.

Doubting bout how true is it? Go try it out yourself.

I know my “healthy hair” will no longer be just cheat one, it’s going to be real healthy even with me doing all the things to look beautiful! ♥ *wink

Cheers.♥
