In2It Make Up Products

If u asked what is the most important makeup product for me. I'd say the eyeliner.

I have been using the In2It waterproof eyeliner in WE 02 Dark Brown for a few years now.

I dislike the liquid type eyeliner because it tends to run and smudge under the eye, u wont be able to smoke it out and because its harder to apply.

This retractable pencil eyeliner comes in a slender tube. Very easy to apply. Save me the hassle of sharpening the pencil type eyeliners.

It does what it says, it is definitely waterproof, but at the same time easy to remove with a make up remover.

I cant say that its very pigmented, u'd have to build it up to get a darker line. Sometimes it can be harsh on the eyelids because u tend to press down hard to get a darker line.So that maybe a drawback of this product. But honestly i've been sticking with it because to me it gives a more natural look (not too hard of a line) but still defines your eyes, it stays put and after several hours of application, it gets smokier.You can get it from any Watsons or Guardians that carries the In2It brand. If i'm not mistaken its about RM19.90. Cheapo! Just how I like it.

The other In2It product that i recently purchased is the Moisture Intense Lipstick in M1 109 Woodland. I was in Watsons to get my no umphteenth tube of eyeliner from In2It, when i saw the ON SALE tag on this limited edition lipstick range. Couldnt believe that it was RM9.90! But too bad that they ran out on most of the nicer colors. But since it was very cheap i just got myself one of the remaining colors that was available.

The one i got is a brownish orangey color . The texture is very creamy and moisturizing with a matte finish.I  prefer matte lipsticks because of its staying power. Very good color pay off. 

Another staple for my everyday makeup bag.

Repurchase: yes, because of its price point.

Good color pay off

Don't Wait Till It's Too Late

Tuesday, 15th January 2013

Mom called at close to 9am, to inform that my aunt had passed away.I was at work by then. She was sobbing. I felt like my heart skipped a beat. Called hubby to tell him the news. Immediately started packing and went back home to wait for my other family members to go to Segamat.

My aunt is my mom's elder brother's wife. She was diagnosed with her advanced stage illness in October last year. Since the news broke out, my parents have visited her several times.
I, myself didnt get the chance to visit her when she was sick. There was always something that came up during the weekends, that made me and hubby postpone our trip to Segamat. But we have arranged to go this coming Saturday, since last week mom visited her and said that her condition had worsened. But Allah has fated that I will not get the chance to visit her while she's still alive.

Thats the thing i regret most. I regret for not making it a priority to go visit her.
It'll be a lesson for me. Never wait..

My last memory of my beloved aunt was when we attended my cousins wedding in Putrajaya last June. She was very happy and cheerful. Got to spend a bit of time with her, chit chatting..
Never thought that it'd be the last time i'd see her..

Semoga Allah sentiasa lindungi arwah, dan semoga arwah ditempatkan dikalangan orang yang beriman.

Revlon Color Burst Lip Butter

Hi everyone!
Today i'm going to do a review on the Revlon Color Burst Lip Butter. Had my eyes on this lipstick since i saw a few youtubers using in it in their make up routine/haul.

                                                        Picture above is from google


I find it enticing because of its sweet and candy colored see through/frosted cover tops. So when i saw it at the Revlon counter in one of the malls in Jakarta during our short trip last week, i quickly made a pit stop and purchased my first lip butter. My first lip butter was in the color Sugar Plum. It was not until i got back that i googled and checked, and i discovered that  it has reached Malaysia a few months back. Here in Malaysia, there are only 8 colors to choose from. Which are: 020 Brown Sugar, 025 Peach Parfait, 030 Fig Jam, 070 Cherry Tart,  075 Lollipop, 080 Strawberry Shortcake, 085 Sugar Plum and 096 Macaroon.
The formula contains mango, shea and coconut butter. YUMMY. Well not that it has any taste to it. Hehe.

From my personal view, i feel that the color that i got is not as pigmented as i'd like it to be. I guess if you go with a darker color, it would have better color pay off. It looks glossy on the lips with no shimmer and sparkle. Definitely moisturizing and hydrating, feels like you have butter on your lips.

This delightful tube is retailing at IDR 75000 which is more or less RM25. and i read somewhere that its retail price in Malaysia is RM25. Thought of asking mom to get me one other color from Boots since she was in London, but  I saw the price in Boots (online) was 5 pounds which is more or less the same here. Its slightly cheaper in the US with the price point of 7 dollars. In Malaysia, u can get it either in Watsons or Guardian.


It shall be my staple since i find it suitable as an everyday work/casual outing lipstick and definitely because its affordable.

December Favourites

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to share with all of you some of my favourite food/beverage/stuff for December.

1- Five Roses rooibos chai spice tea - Started drinking the tea that my parents bought from Capetown.
SOO good. The smell of this tea makes me think of Anna's ( my daily vlog leading lady) pumpkin spiced tea even though mine has no pumpkin elements to it. Maybe because its spiced, thats why.
She was really into this tea for halloween, and each time i watched her drink, i'd imagine the taste and smell of it.

2- POST Selects Great Grains Cranberry Almond Crunch cereal - Getting my breakfast is soo important. So besides the occasional karipaps, eggs and breads, i'm loving this cranberry almond crunch cereal. Last months favourite was the blueberry one, and before that was the Banana.
The cranberry is not as sourish and not as sweet as the others. But still love it though.

3- Wholemeal pita breads - Again as a result of watching what Anna eats for lunch. I'm opting for sandwiches or wraps whenever there's no rice dishes. Would make (if i'm home) barbecue chicken with salad or mashed boiled eggs with a dash of black pepper sandwiches. I dont cut the pita bread in half and stuff in the chicken n salad into the pockets, but i cut the pita bread into half forming 2 round flat breads. slap some mayo on the top n bottom n lay down the chicken n salad to form my sandwich and shove it in the toaster for 2 minutes. Yummy and i feel less guilty because its wholemeal.

4- Toblerone - Must have my chocs! Dad got a whole load of Toblerones from his numerous vacations this year. So for now this is my dessert after dinner.

5- Song - Dont Stop the Party by Pittbull.

6- Hairstyle - Ponytail and the high bun. Though i've been trying the fishtail braid on myself since my hair is longer, i've yet to master it. It leaves me with sore arms everytime.

7- Less trafic - Since its the school holidays, driving to work is a breeze. I leave home 15 mins later than i usually do, and still get to work early.

Anywhooooo (the way Judy says it; from Itsjudyslife), loving December so far.
December reminds me of the christmas festivity atmosphere in London.
Not getting my 3rd consecutive Europe winter trip this year; hubby said i'm pushing it - ingat dia chop duit?
So Jakarta it is!

Daily vlogs

I'm obsessed with Youtube's daily vlogs.

My current fav:
1) Leflooftv: A couple from Cork, Ireland have been vlogging everyday for the past few years. From being in a relationship to having a daughter. Everyday i watch how their daughter grow from a newborn to a 2months plus baby. Chubbier by the day. And when she smiles,my heart melts too. Sooo cute.
Anna, (the wife) has her own beauty channel on youtube: Thestylediet.
She's pretty! and they have not 1 but 6 maltese dogs. Crayyzy! Love watching them go grocery shopping, move house, set up the christmas tree.

2) Itsjudyslife: A couple from Washington. The wife, Judy is Philipino, the husband's mixed japanese / caucasian.
They also just had a baby named Juliana who's 1 month plus. Judy's separate beauty channel is: itsjudytime.



I seriously open up youtube the first thing in the morning to watch the latest vlogs, of course after subuh that is. Leflooftv is usually up with their latest vlog at 2am (msian time) since its now daylight saving mode, previously up at 1 am.

Its like reality tv, but daily on youtube.

Obsessed with Emilia : Jonathan and Anna's girl
