Daily Look - Wear it with Confidence

When was the first time you ever got intrigued by make-up? mine was just about fiveish years of age.
I used to remember the waking up to a brightly lit room and the sight of my mother getting ready for work.She had mostly glass bottles and jars lined perfectly framing the light brown dressing table. 

A dark emerald blue glass bowl with all the bobby pins, a brush holder with the most funniest looking spike brush and my favourite part of the dresser; the majestic line of perfume bottles. Among  all the tempting items that I was warned not to play with there was dear mummy. 

She held the lip brush on her right hand and drew the most perfect lips one could desire to have. It was always the crimson red lip colour. I learnt a great deal that brushes were not only to paint on paper but also to paint a perfect canvas - your face. 

Since I have grown to handle make-up well I am constantly exploring products that can make a combination skin tone like mine look more radiant and pretty. I have complied some picture of me before and after picture of me.


Products of Choice :

On Face : 

Sephora Age Defy Moisture Cream SPF 15 Sunscreen " Don't Act Your Age"

Sephora Smoothing Primer
     Oil based but very easy to apply, did not leave skin feeling greasy
     Dried up fast, did not wait long to apply foundation 

Sephora 10 HR wear perfection foundation - Second skin technology in Mat Tan 35 bronze
     Agree with the "second skin" statement, easy application, was able to build and blend the product well

Sephora Bronzing Powder in Moyen Medium 2
      Smooth finish but had to use a lot to set the face.

On Lips :

Philosophy Kiss Me Tonight Moisturising Lip Treatment
NYX Lipliner in 808 Deep Purple

On Eyes :

NYX Extreme Blue SLL 101 Liquid Eye-Liner
      Fine brush applicator, super easy to create a polished line

Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Masacara  in Blackest Black - Noir Intense
      Made lashes look luscious and defined

Himalaya's Herbal Eye-Definer Kajal 
       Smooth and creamy but did not smudge onto under area



Now for the review:

Make-up was applied at 9 am and removed at 6.30 pm
Lasting power of the overall look I would give it 4 stars
The face needed lost of touch-up as I started oiling up at the T-Zone area
Lips completely washed off after lunch, din take the liner and balm so no touch-ups
Eye make-up lasted thru out, 5 stars 
NYX Eyeliner's colour did not wear off the line did not smudge - it stayed vibrantly blue till I took it off this evening.
Himalaya's Kajal was amazing, I did not worry about checking in the mirror for eye liner bleeds.

                                                                                                  -Just a little of everything makes you a different you-

Nesting

 Dear Readers and Friends, Is time to dust the pages of this blog again. Much needed activity now that things are so much in order in my personal life. Well I have found home in places, I once thought will never be possible again. On top of everything, I have found home in me. Cliché much, well I don't think so....haha. When you take the right amount of rebirths..many many....then you will rediscover you over and over again. Fear has subsided, wholeness has started to take form. I may have started this blog 10 years ago. A younger self who had dreams as wide as the ocean....she never equipped herself to fight the rough tides. She got hit one too many times. Ended up in an island of hope, not knowing that both land waters houses challenges. Determined, she did make the island her fort, her safe space, her sweet spot... Forgetting the ocean for dreams, never thinking of going back to the waters to continue her quest. Her blessed heart, brought her wise words from her fairy-god-mother

What is Healing? - Self Acceptance

Happy Day Wishes, Incase you decided to stop by and take glance at my blog....I thank you and welcome you to my post that was crafted during my lunch break. I have been doing a lot of research on healing and living behind past traumas and trying understand how life is going to be after you heal ( that too if you do! ). I have tried multiple ways and carried out several exercises to change my thinking, mindset, speech and how i treat people and situations that I am caught it. One minute I was a saint, the exact next minute I was Hulk - SMASH was the only word running and ruling my mind. All I could do after that is, hurl to my bed, hug my pillow over my face and scream and cry all at the same time. Have you done that ? Well, my mind as become a spacious playground and my thoughts creates chains of thoughts....No not overthinking, healthy thinking! I don't visit problems and device multiple solutions, I take a deep dive into why and how it started in the first place. That made me rea

Physical Disability is No Disability of the Mind & Will

Real People, Real Stories; Featuring Khairul  Nizam  the founder of Jamumall Sdn. Bhd. I am delighted, honored and also inspired to write about a soul that doesn't know the meaning of the word "GIVING UP" .  We tend to complain mostly about the things or environment that we are not blessed with. We tend to sideline everything good our creator, parents and many of life's teachings that we are generously given. Often, we overuse our power to procrastinate but never really fully utilize the ability to  express our gratitude for the blessings we have and received in life. I personally do procrastinate, complain and constantly debate that life is not treating me kind. I never actually realized, that I am exactly where I am today of my own doings.  If the doings are of any good, I would be able to live my life to the fullest and struggle would me nothing but a stepping stone to greater success to me. Here is an inspiring story of Mr. Khairul Nizam the fou
