Casual Saturday Look

I know I am slacking on my makeup updates and face of the day kind of sharing, so here are I am sharing with you the look I am currently wearing - "My casual Saturday Look". I don't wear makeup as much as anymore... want to get back in the game of making time for myself and the things I love doing.

This look is very easy to achieve and it took me around 15 - 20 mins to complete it. No heavy concealing or foundation just contoured the sides of my cheek & nose and my jaw line to minimize the double chin appearance. There is nothing to be shy about having a big nose or double chin....just make it up with makeup.


 I have been searching high and low for the Nivea After Shave Balm all over town and I finally found one but it is not the sensitive version that all my favorite beauty gurus have been raving about. I found this at Watsons, gosh I cannot remember the price...If I'm not mistaken it is around RM 20 something. 

I really like this product, I have facial hair and I remove it every 2 days using all the sophisticated chemicals - facial hair removal creams. My hair is dark and so are my facial hair, If I dun remove it frequently it will leave black rash like bumps on my face - I think they are hair stubs. The cream only takes off the most top part of the hair leaving behind the roots that like to sabotage my appearance. At this point, I must stop and thank my dear hubby for all the tolerance and acceptance. He has not shown any form of disgust. I am truly blessed to have him as my life partner. 

 Facial hair removal creams are very potent, they do tend to break and dehydrate the skin. I have been using many different brands in the longest of time. Never found one formula that actually shows some care on the face. The Nivea After Shave is now my new found "Holly Grail", I truly mean it....it just hugs and comforts the skin. Very hydrating and makes my face feel supple. I do add on some moisturizer over it.

 The balm contains Vitamin E and Provitamin B5 that helps with skin repair and regeneration after shaving. Sounds too fancy for a man's product. I am loving every bit of it; definitely, definitely a repurchase for me. Oh yeah it smells like a man, yummy you say.....totally!!. The scent doesn't linger as much, very strong upon application but disappears as I layer up makeup. It has been 3 hrs now, no itchiness or oil build-up. Let's see how it feels later in the evening.

 My Verdict : Amazing - 5 «««««

Other products used are : 
  • Olay Total Effects Moisturizer 
  • Mary Kay Liquid Foundation in the shade Bronze 1(I mix both and then apply it on my face & neck)
  • Avon Simply Pretty Loose Powder 
  • Some generic contour pallet that I bought from Laazada
  • The Face Shop Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown
  • Nyx Studio Liquid Liner in Extreme Blue
  • Himalayas Black Jumbo Kajal Stick
  • Kate Eyeshadow 
  • Tarte Mascara 
  • Clinique Chubby Stick in the shade Super Strawberry 
My fav way to add some glam to my look is by adding coloured liners instead of colourful and vibrant eyeshadows. I alternate colour liners, sometimes I just line the bottom water line with a coloured liner instead. Trust me, it just makes the eyes pop. I keep the overall lid colour always on a neutral tone - nude or skin like tones works best for this look. You can still look glam at work in a subtle way. Always, go light-handed when applying eye makeup, it makes the look more natural and flawless (Just my personal preference).

 Hope this helps you rock your Saturday or any day. Make time for yourself, cause if you don't no one else will. It will show that YOU actually cared to look as good as you truly are. I am not saying make-up is a must, making time to bring out your beauty; inside-out is a MUST.

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

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

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
