What happened in the past 8 months ?

Assalamualaikum guys 😊

OMG IT’S ALREADY 8 MONTHS SINCE MY LATEST POST WTH HAPPENED ??!

First of all, I’m glad that I’m writing again. I really missed this. I need to do this more often to get to you guys.

I’ve experienced lots of things right after my graduation (which is my previous recent post). I believe that 2017 is the most toughest yet fun year for me. For those who keep asking what I’m doing after getting my degree, I get a job and it was not a science-lab-related.

Although I’m a science-graduate BUT I know what I want for myself and where’s my passion would lead me to. Seriously, it is so f hard to find a job that gives you perfect life balance between work and personal life. I challenged myself to work as a Sales Executive just to gain experience since I never had one.

Like seriously, I don’t have any plan for myself in the future and let the universe decides for me. I let people jeopardised my life with tonnes of work and I realized that I need to take action. To sum everything up, work in sales department was quite stressful BUT I found something. I can see why I was put in this kind of situation until BAWALISME is born.

I’m glad I did this. This is what I’ve been working on for the past 3 months after my ‘mourning’ period for stressing out. I CHOOSE TO SELF-EMPLOYED ❤️

The G-Day

Finally, guys. Finally 😊

 

Who would’ve thought an introverted duduk bawah tempurung 24-years old lady (sprinkled with some childishness) finally managed to get her degree in Molecular Biology. More to be proud of, first class degree. ALHAMDULILLAH ❤️

No need for random rambling about how hard I struggled to finish my studies blablabla all that jibber jabber. Dah cliche, bro. Hahaha 😛

I just want to say, degree’s life really changes me for who am I today. A survivor, independent and now I’m actually socializing with people omg (I’m really a sucker of silence).

The real deal is when I bought the outfit for the special day with my very own money. Serius bangga weh. Yeah, I have a job now which I will tell about it later. I am so in love with this amazing jubah which is actually a collaboration from Bella Ammara and Leeyana Rahman ❤️

You would never go wrong with royal blue. The best thing is that it is exclusively designed with the world map on it. Fancy. Can you tell me where I could find a jubah like this on earth?? Already caught my heart for the first time I saw it on Instagram. Oh btw the name is Hermia Jubah ❤️

Thanks Z for ponteng kelas and came to my special day. Hahaha. Don’t put the blame on me. He’s the one who want to do that on purpose 😛 But yeah I’m the one who told him to wear blue as well. There’s actually tonnes of photos with my family but they’re in my dad’s camera and not in my phone. Sheesh. 

The only thing that I was frustated about is the graduation-hat thingy was TOO SMALL FOR MY BIG HEAD OMG. It’s a real struggle, guys. I need to put a few needles to make sure I didn’t drop it on the stage or else I will remember it for the rest of my life 😂

I just really need a grassy-background photo for my Instagram. HAHAHAHA. 

There you go. It’s the end of an era. I’ve decided to not to continue my studies because I’m not really interested anymore. Hahaha. Dah 19 tahun belajar and I’m actually exhausted (or maybe traumatized lol). I need to focus on my future and the basics knowledge of life (cooking, sewing, driving, have own income, marriage etc etc). 

Alhamdulillah. Another ‘piece of paper’ slipped into my folder of everything. ❤️

Top-picked Lipstick

I owned quite a number of lipsticks since I’ve been exposed to this ‘lady’ world. It was quite a journey when it started with the current trend lip tint kinda stuff at that time. Hahaha. Old days. I have dry and chapped lips so most of my lip products are moisturizing, glossy and I wouldn’t hesitate to bring a lip balm everywhere I go. But the fact that I hate sticky-shiny lips makes me eager to find the best one for my daily use.

Here my Top 3 fav lipsticks!

• Sugarbelle Liquid Lipstick in Nude Kisses
• Maybelline Lip Gradation by Color Sensational in Mauve1
• L’oreal Color Riche Moist Matte in Chocolat Rouge

Actually all of them are almost the same shade which is nude pinky undertone but with different formula, brands, packaging and also the price, of course. Lets check ’em out one by one shall we?

SUGARBELLE LIQUID LIPSTICK (NUDE KISSES)

PACKAGING

• Look at the gold and black theme of the box. Doesn’t it look pretty exclusive?
• The lipstick bullet looks amazing in black with gold ‘SUGARBELLE’ font engraved on it. Mine is faded already. Haha.
• I love how the lipstick exposing the colour of the shade.
• The applicator is just like other liquid lipstick which is easy to apply.

DESCRIPTIONS

• Together inside the box is the details of the products including the ingredients, quantity, expiration date etc.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT?

• This shade is amazing! If you’re looking for a nude pink lipstick, this is for you.
• The formula is very creamy and easy to apply.
• It is matte but not drying or sucking the life of your lips. Haha.
• I love the after-dried looking on the lips. It gives pretty smooth matte look.

WHAT I UGHH ABOUT IT?

• Its a lil bit pricey.
• It transferred to any surface contact on the lips.
• Its not waterproof and long wear so need regular touch ups.

WHERE TO BUY & PRICE?

I bought from an Instagram shop for MYR59 or you can order directly on their Instagram or website with the same price, I guess. They sell other shades, lipstick and mascara too.

REPURCHASED?

Maybe.

 

MAYBELLINE LIP GRADATION BY COLOR SENSATIONAL (MAUVE1)

PACKAGING

• The packaging is very simple in the pencil-like form.
• To help with the lipstick application, they include a pointed sponge as the smudger.
• The pointed lipstick also make it easier to apply on the lips.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT?

• This is the best lip product I ever bought in my entire life! This is actually my second purchased.

• The colour is very natural and suits for daily wear.
• The smudger helps a lot to distribute the product evenly.
• This Mauve1 shade is the best-selling of all other colours. I look everywhere for this second one and finally got it at SASA.

• One stick could last more than 2 months based on my daily wear.

WHAT I UGHH ABOUT IT?

I guess none. Haha.

WHERE TO BUY & PRICE?

REPURCHASED?

Omg, of course!

 

L’OREAL COLOR RICHE MOIST MATTE (CHOCOLAT ROUGE)

PACKAGING

• Came with gold-like copper metallic bullet which looks super elegant and exclusive.
• The shade can be known by looking at the square-thingy outside of the packaging.
• It feels sturdy and expensive when you hold it.
• The bottom shows the name of the shade.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT?

• The shade is perfect for daily wear. Its like brown, orange and pink combination.
• It gives matte finish but very moisturizing on the lips.
• This is my go-to lipstick same as the Maybelline Lip Gradation one.
• Don’t really need to reapply bcs of the stay-long effect.
• If I have a bad lips day, I choose to wear this.
• Contains jojoba oil as the moisturizing agent.
• Doesn’t fade into patches and I really love the formula.

REPURCHASED?

Yes!

 

SWATCHES

All these lipsticks might show the same shade from their packaging but from the swatches, it doesn’t. I mean, you can tell, right? The Maybelline one is more to cool tone mauve colour but with a hint of pink, Sugarbelle Nude Kisses is all about nude pink colour and for warmer tone with a lil bit of pink and orange, the L’oreal one. Sometimes I love to mix the Mauve1 and Nude Kisses for more toned down pink with a matte finish.

I probably would stick with these three lipsticks bcs they are easy to purchase, quite affordable, suits my lips and any other reasons that I couldn’t think of.

So, who says dry lips can’t rock on matte lipsticks?

Maybelline The Blushed Nudes Palette Review

Pink, pink and pink. Tell me who doesn’t love pink. I admire pinky stuff but not totally obsessed with it. Just a lil bit of my inner child can get attracted to it (or even excited!). To emphasize my love towards this soft-childish color, I’ve decided to get my very first pink-themed eyeshadow palette.

The Blushed Nudes Eyeshadow Palette by Maybelline!

PACKAGING & DESCRIPTION

• A pinky-toned plastic packaging with 12 shades of eye shadow colours.
• The front consist of clear surface with the names for each eye shadow revealing the colours inside.
• At the back, shows the how-to-use section ; quads, trios, duos and also the ingredients.
• A small dual-used brush is given with a sponge applicator and a brush at both ends.

SHADES & SWATCHES

• All 12 shades are infused with rose gold pigment from bold beiges and sultry sands to brazen bronzes and tempting taupes.
• 3 out of 12 are matte and the rest are shimmers and glittery.

First row ; Lingerie, Shiver, Smoky Taupe, Angel, Flushed, Burning

Second row ; Brick, Mocha, Chocolate, Concrete, Oxblood, After Hours

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT?

• The packaging is pretty sleek, compact and quite travel friendly.
• The brush/applicator provided is very convenient, easy to use and no fall off.
• The 12 colours option are perfect to create versatile eye makeup looks.
• Easy to blend.

WHAT I UGHH ABOUT IT?

• No mirror!
• Low pigmentation.
• Only last for about 5 hours of wearing without eye shadow primer.
• My eyelids tend to crease after 6 hours and the colour will 80% faded.
• Quite pricey for a very low pigmentation eye shadow palette.
• Some shades are difficult to blend and work with.
• I don’t really like shimmery eye shadows (I have no idea why I bought this. Haha)

WHERE TO BUY & PRICE?

• Any drugstores ; Watsons, Guardian etc
• Bought it at RM62 (NP : RM69.90).

REPURCHASED?

Nope.

All in all, I’m okay with this palette. Some shades are great for natural eye makeup, also you have the option to go for more bold look. The instructions at the back really helps to pick any matching shades. I bought this because it seems that it is a dupe for Naked 3 palette (obviously) which is totally not affordable for me. Haha.

p/s : Thanks, Z for lending me your hand for the swatches. Hehe. ❤

So, ARE YOU DARE TO GO NUDE?

 

FARMASI CC Cream Review

Assalamualaikum and good day!

I never ever had confidence on my own skin. Greasy face with large pores is a big deal that I have to face everyday but I’m getting used to it. Before this, I don’t have the courage to get my hands on foundations, BB cream or CC cream or even the moisturizer. They just stimulating sebum secretions on my face and I had to use like 2 or 3 oil blotting paper. Sheesh.

On the other side of my ‘oily’ story, I’ve been eyeing this one brand called FARMASI Color Cosmetics or FCC. Originally from Turkey makes me more determined to buy their products. Why? Bcs they’re HALAL of course! One of their high ratings product is the CC Cream.

PACKAGING

• Come together with a small and sturdy paper box with all the descriptions.
• The pink and white theme is super cute and elegant.
• The cream came in a tube-like container which is much easier and hygienic to use.
• The sleek and silver cap just added the elegance point even more. Love it!

DESCRIPTIONS & INGREDIENTS

• Color Control/Color Corrector/tinted moisturizer.
• Consists of 2 shades ; Light to Medium & Medium to Dark
• Contain 50ml  of product per tube.
• Helps to cover up skin imperfections without clogging pores.
• Macadamia oil moisturizers all day long.
• Vitamin B3 and vitamin C creates a natural looking glow.
• Oat extract nourishes and repairs the skin.
• Silk protein smoothes and evens skin tone.
• SPF25 protects skin against the harmful effect of the sun.
• Collagen and Argan oil improve skin surface and help to reduce the appearance of age spots.

SWATCHES

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT?

• I bought it on May and used it everyday but still I can get a lot of product in one squeeze today.
• The price is reasonable.
• It literally smells like baby powder. What? A cream baby powder? Haha. Love the smell to the max!
• The texture is very creamy but not to thick makes it easier to blend.
• It does gives my skin a natural and radiant glow. Just look at my Instagram selfies.
• You can apply it alone or even with powder later.
• Not cakey or too dewy on the skin.
• Even it doesn’t say it helps in oil control but it does give my face a pretty matte finish after I put some loose powder.
• Doesn’t clogged my pores AT ALL.
• The shade (Light to Medium) is perfect for my skin.
• Am I overrating this? Hahaha.

WHAT I UGHH ABOUT IT?

• Low coverage. Need to put on concealer to cover some spots.
• It would be better if it has oil control. Haha.
• A bigger tube would be better, I guess.

WHERE TO BUY & PRICE?

I got mine from a personal seller here in Shah Alam for MYR47 but you also can buy yours on Instagram, LAZADA, Fashionvalet, ZALORA and other websites also selected PARKSON’s outlet here in Malaysia.

REPURCHASED?
