Recent Online Collective Haul

Online shopping is so much fun.
I'm surprised at what i can find and purchase online.
Like the other day, i accidentally tore my new blouse. i was very upset about it.
And it wasnt like i could just stitch it back because the material was soft and sheer.
so i simply googled how to fix a tear, and i discovered 2 fabric bonding powder brands that could fix tears or holes, fix hems etc without any stitching.

Anyway, i thought i'd show my recent online collective haul.

1. Studs for clothing. I got them from amazon. Here's the story, i was going through H&M's Malaysian website and i saw this  blouse i liked, a black chiffon blouse with gold studs. So i went into H&M Paradigm mall but I couldnt find it, then it was later confirmed by the salesperson that they didnt have it in store.
So i came up with the idea of custom making it. I went n bought the material, and ordered the studs and sent em to the tailor .

2) Babyliss Pro Hair Curler from mydeals.com.my;
This gadget is amazing for untalented and lazy ladies like me when it comes to styling hair.You simply take about an inch of hair and place it in between the gadget, and when u clamp it down, your hair gets sucks into the heating chamber and until u hear 5 beaps about 10-15 seconds later, u release the clamp, and out comes a curl.
Have yet to receive product.

3)Supermend Fabric Bonding Powder

4)Sleek Face Form Pallete
Bought it from Luxola . It took 1 and half day for the parcel to arrive to my office from Singapore. Happy!
Been looking for a bronzer and contour/highlighter for some time. Have tried it and only got good things to say about it.

5) Wet & Wild; Wild Icon Blush - Pearlescent Pink
Bought from Ebay. Its just a cheap drugstore brand that's not available in Malaysia and most of my favourite Youtube beauty gurus, have in one way or another mentioned about this product. They were saying it was a dupe for the NARS Orgasm blush. Have yet to receive product.

6) Eyeshadow pigments from Facebook
Recommended by a colleague. So all of us ordered and we're all so excited to try it out.


7) Stippling brush & contour/shader brush.

Online shopping is very convenient. I do need to practice self control to prevent from spending all my money on online shopping, since its just a few clicks away. Most of all i tend to look for items thats unavailable in our stores. Thank god for Ebay & Amazon!! All of the above was purchased in a span of 2 weeks. I've reached my quota for this month. My husband does not know about these purchases and i'd like to keep it that way.

Eyelash Curler & Mascara

Hi ladies!

Lets talk about lashes!
So do u have long whisper-y curled angelic eyelashes?
Well i dont!

In fact i have a set of unruly stubborn straight pointing downwards eyelashes.
The left side has a mind of its own, i'm tellin ya.
So i used to just not bother on trying to wear mascara or curl em.
I used to just slap on some compact powder, eyeliner and some blush n lipstick n thats that for make up.

But when i was getting my makeup done on my wedding day, i remember my makeup artist saying that by curling and using mascara it really enhances the eyes and makes a look complete. You can look all dolled up simply just by applying mascara and some powder.


So this past 8 months i've been trying to get used to mascaras.
Trying a few brands that were hits n misses through out.
But i concluded that my lashes arent going to curl just by using mascara like some lucky and blessed ladies,
i needed an eyelash curler to help me with it.

So the first eyelash curler i bought was from MAC ( bought it in 2011 but never made used of it, up till 2013)
I find it does the job; curls my lashes (with pinches here & there, whenever i get too close to the base of my lashes) and with a coat of mascara from 17 in and, the curls lasts from when i start work till i wash it out.
LOVE!
Earlier this year a good friend gave me the Shu Eumura curler as a gift. I feel that i have to use it more often to form an opinion before saying anything about this raved product. But so far it also curls well and the curls last the whole day with using mascara.

I am totally gutted that my 17 Wild Curls mascara has been discontinued but delighted to find that the new 17 Dolled Up mascara works as great if not better. Got the Wild Curls mascara from Boots in december 2011 (yes it has lasted me more than a year because i hardly ever use mascara before 2013 and i feel that it could still be used), and my brother's girlfriend bought the Dolled Up mascara for me when she visited him earlier this year.

Dont know how i'm going to get my 17 mascara supplies when i'm out of it.

I also tried the Maybelline waterproof mascara-The Falsies-  which i didnt like.
I find the wand too flimsy and the curled shape didnt help with enhancing the curls.
But to each its own..Heck i bought it because of the great reviews on youtube.

I came to realize that i prefer non waterproof mascaras as the waterproof ones requires some work to remove. Removing with an eye make up remover and a cotton pad, i sometimes/usually lose and eyelash or two with each cleaning.- i should be bit more gentle i know but i do not have the patience.

But with non waterproof mascaras i just need to get into a warm shower when its time for a shower (or just splash on water if not showering) and wash off my face with a cleanser and slowly massage it around my eyes..

I've been using the MAC curler n mascara everyday to work now, dont feel complete without it.

Love Mascaras!

Loving mint.
A latest collective haul of items I got in mint .

 Iphone case - Sunway Pyramid

 Pants - Primark

Cushion  (Kitty Cat) - Primark

 Piggy Bank (Cupcake) - Daiso

Love my Kitty cat cushion. Hubby & dad thought I was ridiculous for purchasing it. 

And i've been into anything cupcake, influenced by Anna SacconeJoly from Leflooftv, hence the random cupcake piggybank (in mint) purchase.

Whats In My Travel Hand Carry Luggage

I thought i'd list out the things i have in my hand carry luggage whenever i take a long haul flight.

1.Glasses- Learned my lesson, when i didnt remove my lenses for a 13 hour flight. It got really2 dry. Couldnt wait to get a hold of my checked in luggage to remove my lenses and wear my glasses.

2.Contact lens storage container and solution- to store my lenses in the flight when i use my glasses.

3.Toothbrush & toothpaste

4.Facial cleanser- make sure its less than 100 ml- to freshen up

5.Deodorant- since it could be almost 24 hour since my last bath, a deodorant would come in handy.

6.Perfume- make sure less than 100ml too

7.Facial wet wipes- Remove make up

8.Panty liner

9.Hand lotion- the air in the plane is very dry.

10.Panty- u never know, accidents happen

11Extra set of clothing- god forbid the airline loses my checked in luggage, so at least i have a fresh set of clothing while waiting to get the luggage sent to me/buy new clothing at my destination.

12.Ipad- to keep me entertained while killing the slow hours that passes by.

13.Face towel- to wipe my face after cleansing and washing my face

14.Reservation documents- i usually make a few sets of it (hotel reservation etc) and i chuck in 1 copy into my hand carry.

Epic Meal Time

My brother and I are fans of Epic Meal Time from Youtube. For some of you who may not know what is Epic Meal Time, it is a cooking show conducted by a group of crazy creative Canadian guys.
I must warn that all their recipes are extremely high in calories and not for the faint of heart. They are over the top, crazy and entertaining with their end of the show tagline that is different everytime. My all time favourite was the : Next time we eat fairytale! hehe

You've gotta watch at least one episode to comprehend what i'm trying to describe of them and their dishes.

So after months and months of saying that he (my brother) wants to recreate one of the dishes, he finally attempted his first, which was the epic lasagna. I helped out too.

Here are the ingredient to this super high calory dish.
Must admit we didnt follow exactly what they used, we used ingredients most suitable to our taste buds and liking.

4 McDonalds cheeseburger
1 McDonalds large fries
1 box of Kraft's Mac & cheese
4 beef patties
2 bags of potato chips
1 can of tomato based pasta sauce
1 bag of shredded cheddar cheese.

The key method to this dish was layering.

So if i remembered correctly, the first layer was, the bottom half of the cheese burger (bun,beef patties with cheese), next layer was the mac and cheese, then the pasta sauce, then the beef patties,the french fries, cheddar cheese, more mac cheese then the top buns from the cheeseburger, potato chips and lastly a generous sprinkle of cheddar cheese.

We then baked the 'lasagna' for about 20 minutes till the cheese melted.
The verdict, imagine the taste of all the individual goodness in 1 dish. It was sooooo sinful yet sooo satisfying.

Enjoy the pictures
