My Current Skincare Routine

Hi everyone! 

My skincare routine tak susah pun and tak complicated. I pakai yang basic-basic je so here it goes :

1) Cleansing oil

I akan pakai cleansing oil Biore ni for double cleansing. I takkan tinggal buat double cleansing ni sebab i heard a lot of good feedback bila orang dah start buat double cleanse. But honestly for me i tak nampak sangat apa perbezaan i buat double cleanse dengan tak buat. But i just keep on doing that because i know i pakai sunscreen almost everyday  tiap kali keluar apa semua and also pakai makeup jugak eventhough bukan tiap hari so i want to keep my face bersih sebersihnya before tidur.




2) Cleanser

For me this one step yang paliiinggg wajib. You know dulu i have like a tiny bumps dekat forehead but after my sister suggest untuk start pakai cleanser (umur 18) i noticed a huge different on my skin especially on my forehead. Tiny bumps hilang and start daripada tu i tak tinggal langsung cuci muka. And this Garnier Sakura White i pakai from that time until now tak pernah tukar :)




3) *Extra* : Scrub

I pakai scrub once a week. And currently i tengah pakai Freeman Mask Scrub yang Charcoal ni. I takde apa-apa komen lagi tentang scrub ni sebab baru je pakai. Maybe i will make a separate post about this scrub nanti after dah pakai lama-lama sikit?




4) Toner

I baru je start pakai toner bulan Februari tahun ni. But to be honest i tak pakai tiap-tiap hari pun. I pakai bila rasa rajin je lol. Luckily i beli this toner yang travel size punya je. By the way, this toner memang famous sebab tu i try. And also haritu i ada buat like skin check dekat AEON Wellness and that person yang (i taktau nak panggil apa) suggest i pakai Hada Labo Hydrating Lotion (red) sebab i have a combination skin more to dry. If you have an oily skin, boleh try yang warna hijau.




5) *Extra* : Sheet mask

Honestly i'm not a big fan on sheet mask so jarang sangat i pakai sheet mask ni. But ikut kerajinan jugak kalau i rasa rajin i akan pakai. But for now i tengah try this sheet mask that my brother bought for me when he went to Korea. This one is from Nature Republic :)




6) Serum

I pakai ni since 2015 and i have like a love hate relationship dengan serum ni sebab bau dia kuat sangat and dia melekit. Sekarang kadang-kadang je i akan pakai serum ni ikut mood. (jangan tiru okay)




7) Moisturizer

I pakai brand Simple ni sebab saja saja nak try je sebenarnya. But i think after habis ni i nak tukar yang lain sebab susah ya amat yee nak keluarkan this moisturizer dalam bekas macam ni. I think Simple should tukar bekas yang dalam tube tu better kot? But i like this moisturizer because it is very lightweight and tak melekit yang penting. And for me dia cepat absorb into my skin so bila nak cepat-cepat before apply makeup tu senang la sikit.




8) Sunscreen

I tak pernah tukar sunscreen lain after dah pakai yang ni. Sebab i suka gila sunscreen Biore Watery Essence ni sebab dia tak melekit and takde white cast. Pernah one day tu i saja nak test pakai sunscreen ni pergi jogging so i just apply this sunscreen and compact powder. So korang faham je la kan kalau dah jogging tu mestilah berpeluh kan muka pun. But yang bestnya sunscreen ni dia takde white cast which is good! I suka gila sunscreen yang takde white cast. The downside is sunscreen ni ada alcohol so kalau sensitive skin tu better avoid lah. And ya i think this sunscreen good for dry and also combination skin :)



I think that's all from me.

Finding Your Match Foundation Shades with Findation.com

Most people will face a problem to buy foundation (especially online) because they do not know their foundation shades. So with this website Findation.com, the problems can be solved and you can buy your foundation dengan yakinnya tak perlu nak ragu-ragu dah takut salah ke apa dah.

I've tried for a few times dah and no regret at all! Memang betul shade yang dia suggest untuk kita dalam website ni. So here i will show you how :

Ini interface website ni. Firstly, click dekat "Get Started"

Search brand foundation yang korang dah pakai. Dah pakai tau bukan yang baru nak beli.

Bila dah keluar macam ni, ikut je step dia sampai lah shade tu

So dekat sini korang boleh pilih samada nak tambah match lain (in case korang ada pakai brand foundation lain) or nak straight away find match foundation yang korang nak try tu. Nak lebih tepat, korang masukkan lagi lah

Bila dah keluar macam ni, korang akan nampak recommendations tu kan. Kalau foundation korang takde dalam list tu korang boleh tekan "specific product"

Bila pop-up benda ni, korang masukkan lah brand and product foundation yang baru nak try tu.

And finally, here is the result.




So lepas ni, takyah lah pening-pening nak fikir nak pakai shade apa. Website ni sangat membantu bila korang nak beli foundation online mahupun in store. I usually akan pakai website ni even though pergi walk in sendiri dekat kedai haha. Tapi i akan try dekat kulit jugak. Nak tau macam mana nak pilih shade bila dekat kulit? Boleh baca entry ni How to Choose the Right Foundation.


That's all from me. Hopefully entry kali ni dapat membantu korang pilih shade foundation yang sesuai.

Basic Makeup for a Beginner

My first time nak try berjinak dengan makeup waktu umur 18 tahun which is almost 3 years ago. And now i nak share what are the things yang beginner perlu ada if baru nak start makeup. Of course i will share a drugstore product only since it's "beginner" but if you ada duit lebih terus nak beli yang high-end pun boleh je. 

First thing first yang paling basic sekali kena ada i think should be,


1. Foundation

I'm using this foundation from Maybelline Fit Me. You can also read the review from here : Maybeline Fit Me! Matte + Poreless Foundation
But actually foundation ni macam choice lah nak pakai ke tak. Kalau rasa perlu coverage dekat muka pakai lah kalau rasa tak perlu boleh tepek day cream, BB cream or CC cream pun okay je.

2. Concealer

I'm currently using 2 concealer which is 1) Maybelline Instant Age Rewind and also 2) Maybelline Pure Mineral Concealer. No 1 i pakai untuk erase dark circle and no 2 untuk tutup scars and conceal eyebrows. Read here if nak tau review untuk no 1 : Maybelline Instant Age Rewind
For me, concealer ni penting jugak if you have eyebags or dark circle sebab kalau pakai makeup tapi nampak dua benda tu makeup jadi tak cantik :(

3. Eyebrow liner

I'm using the one from SilkyGirl. This is my holy grail. I love this eyebrow liner soooo much. This is my second purchase. Dulu pernah beli from IN2IT tapi tak best sebab pencil so kena asah. Disebabkan tu i stop buat eyebrows. Tapi dulu tak reti pun lukis kening. But after try this brow liner serious terus rasa konfiden nak lukis kening lagi haha. For me in makeup eyebrow is a must sbb kalau tak buat eyebrow tak nampak pun mcm pakai makeup but still it's your choice ;) dulu waktu first-first berjinak dgn makeup pun i tak lukis kening sbb tak reti :( but orang kata "practice makes perfect" :)

4. Mascara

For me mascara penting untuk nampak mata lebih besar dan fresh! Banyak je drugstore mascara yang best macam brand Essence, Maybelline, Silkygirl. Maybelline pun ramai yang suka Pushup Angel Mascara tu but i tak pernah try lagi sebab orang kata waterproof and susah nak tanggal. Silkygirl pulak i heard orang selalu recommend Eye Opener tu and also i tak pernah try lagi. I'm currently using Essence yg warna pink tu bestttt.

5. Blusher

Blusher to make you look alive. Now i'm more to peachy blusher but sekarang nak habiskan dulu blusher Nyx yang ada tu. Tak kisah lah korang suka warna blusher macam mana pun tapi for me blusher ni pun basic thing to have for a beginner. Kalau drugstore korang boleh try brand Essence, Maybelline, Silkygirl, Catrice.

6. Lipstick

This one is necessary. Kalau tak pakai lipstick, umpama tak pakai makeup huhu. Dekat drugstore berlambak lipstick yang best-best korang just kena pandai cari, try tengok review. In my suggestion, lipstick drugstore yang best is Silkygirl Matte Junkie! This is one is my holygrail! I super love the pigmentation and how it last longer on my lips. Also read : Silkygirl Matte Junkie Lipcream. I also love the lip cream from IN2IT in shade 05 Rouge it have a really nice smell but unfortunately it doesn't last longer on my lips :(  i also heard yang Maybelline Powder Matte tu pun best but i never try it before sebab tak rasa lagi terpengaruh dengan tu hahah



I think that's it for a basic makeup that a beginner must have. Ikut korang lah nak buat "basic" tu macam mana tapi this is my suggestion :)

How To Choose The Right Foundation?

Dulu i pun ada masalah macam mana nak choose foundation yg sesuai maklum lah tak pernah ada foundation. My first ever foundation is Maybelline Fit Me. If you want to read the entry, click here!

So, for today's entry, i'm going to share with you guys 3 tips on how to choose the right foundation.

#1 Skin type

The most important thing you have to know what are your skin type is. How to know your skin type.
Read here : Know Your Skin Type.

DRY SKIN

If you have a dry skin, make sure on the bottle of foundation do stated these words :

- Illuminating
- Moisture
- Aqua
- Satin
- Dewy

But, if you have an oily skin, please do avoid those words up there.

OILY SKIN

For oily skin, look for the foundation that have these words :

- Matte
- Oil-free
- Magnifying
- Shine-free

#2 Type of foundation

Liquid - Suitable for all type of skin
Powder - For oily skin only.
Cream - Only for dry skin because if you have an oily skin, it will make your foundation become more shiny or greasy.
Stick - Only for oily skin because if you have a dry skin and you wear stick foundation, it will just make your foundation cakey. 

p/s : For dry skin, please use a less powder on your face because you don't want end up with a lot of dry patches on your skin right?

#3 Foundation shade

If that foundation is oxidized, make sure choose a shade that one or two shade lighter than your original skin colour.

That's all. Thanks for reading!

Disclaimer : I'm not a professional so i'm just sharing a basic knowledge that i know.

Know Your Skin Type

Penting untuk kita tahu skin type kita before guna any skincare or makeup products. Sebabnya, kalau kita pakai taram je guna, it may damage/irritant or make your skin jadi tak cantik bila pakai foundation khususnya contohnya macam patchy lah greasy lah.

So here i nak share macam mana nak tau skin type kita.

p/s : Nose and forehead are naturally little oily, so if you rasa ada sikit-sikit oily dekat bahagian tu means that you're still a normal skin type bukan oily lagi. 

Blotting paper?

Dalam gambar tu contoh blotting paper, banyak je lagi jenama lain macam Tarte, Nyx, Sephora. Boleh beli dekat drugstore pun banyak je jual kalau jenama high end of course lah kena cari dekat kedai dia sendiri.

After dah siap 4 steps dekat atas tu, check these signs pulak.

So bila dah tau skin type kita, baru lah boleh beli any skincare or makeup product based on skin type kita. Takde lah nanti membazir tersalah beli.

That's all, thanks for reading!

Weekend Getaway to Melaka

Hi everyone!

Entry kali ni just nak share story 3 bulan lepas haha sebab rasa macam nak menulis. Okay let's jump into the story.

Bertolak lebih kurang pukul 8 dari Bangi. It only took like 1 hour to arrive at Melaka. Our first destination was at Freeport A'Famosa Outlet or lebih dikenali sebagai Melaka Premium Outlet yang terletak dekat Alor Gajah, Melaka.


Melaka Premium Outlet

*from Google

Actually i was amazed with the design of the buildings sebab tu rasa nak pergi sini nak tangkap gambar banyak-banyak tapi tah kenapa bila dah sampai takde pulak tangkap gambar bangunan cantik-cantik ni. #rugi

*from Google

Tipu lah kalau pergi sini tak tangkap gambar ber-background "kincir angin" ni kan.

View from "kincir angin" thingy.




Asam Pedas Claypot

*from Google

After dah puas dekat Freeport, waktu tu macam ngam-ngam la lunch hour so we went to Asam Pedas Claypot yang terletak betul-betul dekat Bandaraya Melaka. I ordered Nasi putih + Asam Pedas Ayam kot. Memang sedappp sampai sekarang teringin nak makan lagi. 

Masjid Kampung Hulu

*from Google

Lepas dah makan, kami decide nak pergi solat Zohor dulu (buat jamak takdim). So we went to Masjid Kampung Hulu. Masjid ni dari luar nampak unik dan lawa. Tapi satu je, panasssss. Sampai kena buat makeup dalam kereta lah haha.

Kota A'Famosa & St. Paul Church

After solat, kami bergerak ke destinasi seterusnya ke Kota A'Famosa. Tapi parking takde pulak last-last masuk parking dekat Dataran Pahlawan Megamall baru jumpa parking. Nak pergi Kota A'Famosa memang ada jalan dalam mall tu so okay la rasa aircond jugak walaupun kejap haha. Ayy Melaka panas you know haha. 

*from Google

Nak pergi St Paul Church tu kena naik tangga ni sebab ada atas bukit betul-betul belakang Kota A'Famosa kat bawah tu.

*from Google

Dah puas tangkap gambar, panjat tangga tinggi-tinggi tu, kami bergerak ke destinasi seterusnya iaitu ke Pantai Klebang! Before tu kami pusing-pusing bandaray Melaka dulu. Alah Melaka kecik je pusing-pusing tempat yang sama jugak. After that, kami singgah pergi beli Coconut Shake dulu pastu pi minum kat pantai.

Pantai Klebang

Waktu ni petang angin pun sepoi-sepoi memang best lah.

Padang Pasir Klebang

Okay next destination ni tak plan pun tapi alang-alang dah sampai situ pergi je lah. Yes, Padang Pasir Klebang yang selalu orang pergi tangkap gambar tu.
Actually, kami taktau kat mana lepas tu gigih Google and rupanya tempat tu memang agak tersorok sikit. Nasib baik dapat cari jugak.

Tapi nak sampai ke tempat berpasir tu kemain jauh kena jalan kaki. Sampai-sampai sana memang lencun haha.

Mee Besen Ori Melaka

*from Google

Then, proceed to our last destination which is tempat dinner kami, Mee Besen Ori Melaka (sebelum tu, kami pergi solat maghrib dulu dekat satu masjid ni lupa pulak apa nama). Sampai-sampai sini tengok kena tunggu turn sebab ramai gila orang. Kena isi nama dekat satu buku then duduk dulu nanti kalau turn kita dia akan panggil nama.

Nak tau tak kenapa dipanggil Mee Besen? Sebab semua hidangan dia serve dalam kuantiti yang besar. Tapi jangan risau kalau korang tak ramai boleh order ikut saiz.

Saiz S : RM6 (1-2 orang)
Saiz M : RM10 (2-3 orang)
Saiz L : RM15 (3-4 orang)

Lepas dah kenyang, kami pun bergerak balik ke Bangi. So, itu saja weekend getaway kita. Tak overnight pun sebab tak jauh kan boleh pergi balik hari yang sama je.


Banyak lagi tempat menarik yang lain kami tak pergi. Setakat ni, tu je lah sebab kami pergi sehari je tak cukup nak pergi semua tempat kan.

Semua tempat yang kami pergi ni, semuanya plan. Yes kami plan sebab taknak lah nanti dah sampai sana takde arah tujuan last-last buang masa.

Tempat makan sedap-sedap pun kami search dulu before pergi. Sedap ke tak, harga dia apa semua la.


That's all from me. Thankyou for reading!

Simple Kind To Skin Smoothing Facial Scrub

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone!

Scrub is for removal of dead skin cells from the body and impurities, leaving you feeling fresh and your skin looking rejuvenated and revitalized. So for today's entry, i'm going to give a quick review about a facial scrub that i'm currently using. 

Product name : Simple Kind To Skin Smoothing Facial Scrub

Product type : Scrub and exfoliator

Price : RM22

Size : 75 ml

Where to buy : Watsons and Guardian

What it claims?

Our Smoothing Facial Scrub gently lifts dry, dead skin cells to help your skin look brighter and more even textured, plus it's a perfect blend of our purest possible skin loving ingredients with added vitamins.

Color/texture :
White creamy texture with granules.

Scent :
Okay je takde bau yang pelik-pelik pun.


How to apply?

1. Apply a small amount to damp face and neck.
2. Massage in circular motion with fingertips.
3. Avoid eye area.
4. Wait for about 10-15 minutes.
5. Rinse off with a plenty of water.

For normal / dry skin, use one a week while for oily skin use it twice a week.



My thoughts :

Sebenarnya ada banyak lagi scrub lain yang bagus-bagus contohnya macam St. Ives tapi i don't know why i macam takut nak guna yang tu walaupun banyak review kata best tapi ada jugak cakap cause breakout semua. So disebabkan tu i beli Simple ni.

 My skin setiap kali after pakai scrub ni serious lembut, smooth sangat. And i must say yang i tak menyesal langsung beli ni. Simple ni satu produk drugstore yang i think quite good tau. First product Simple i pakai ialah dia punya facial wipes, boleh baca sini : My Favorite Makeup Removers

I pakai scrub ni once a week. So far i dah pakai 4 kali means 4 minggu dah. Okay before i pakai scrub ni, i have like one tiny bump which i think clog pores dekat dahi ni lama jugak lah sebulan lebih. And after 2 kali i pakai scrub ni my tiny bump tu hilang tau. I don't know sama ada memang scrub ni yang membuatkan tiny bump tu hilang or memang dah sampai masanya dia nak hilang hahah.




Pros :
- No animal derived ingredients.
- No artificial perfume / color
- No harsh chemicals
- Gentle but effective
- Uses rice for exfoliation rather than microbeads that are so harmful to the environment.
- Perfect even for sensitive skin
- Affordable price

Cons :
- It's just like a basic scrub so for people yang memang suka gila guna scrub, this is not for you sebab ada banyak lagi scrub lain yang lebih best.


Bottom line :
Yes, i would recommend this especially for people yang ada sensitive skin and nak gentle scrub.

That's all, thanks for reading!

How I Choose My Skincare or Makeup Product

Assalamualaikum & hi everyone!

If nak beli something, mesti kita nak sesuatu yang berbaloi bila kita beli kan? So if nak sesuatu yang worth to buy of course kena ada cara tersendiri. Same goes like if we want to buy any skincare or makeup. 

So dekat sini, I nak share cara nak beli sesuatu skincare or makeup product supaya kita tak menyesal bila beli. 

Apa maksud menyesal dekat sini? Maksudnya bila kita main redah je beli nanti mula la ada produk yang tak sesuai dengan muka kita or kulit kita sampai breakout disebabkan sensitive or allergic dengan ingredients dalam produk tu lepas tu menyesal.

Firstly, buat "wishlist" sendiri untuk senaraikan produk yang korang nak tu macam ni : 

Apa yang perlu ada dalam tu? 

Depends on korang nak letak apa-apa info pun boleh. Macam I letak jenis produk, nama produk, harga, and after dah buat research I akan tulis review or comment of each product.

Or boleh jugak letak dekat "wishlist" website korang macam ni :

Ini Sephora and Hermo punya wishlist. Bila dah ada wishlist ni nanti korang boleh refer kat sini bila nak buat research lepas tu mana yang korang rasa taknak boleh terus remove dari wishlist ni and tinggal la yang okay je so boleh terus beli!

Semua ni of course memerlukan kerajinan. Do research! Kalau nak  tahu macam mana nak check ingredients dalam produk tu boleh baca kat sini : How to read CoSDNA

Kenapa kena buat research before beli?

Okay selain daripada nak avoid daripada breakout etc, dengan buat research korang jugak boleh compare harga. 

Contohnya, Hermo jual produk A RM80 and ada 20% off while Sephora jual RM75 tapi takde off.

Kat situ dah boleh nampak mana lagi berbaloi bila beli kan. 

So, itu la pentingnya untuk korang buat research terperinci if nak beli sesuatu especially on skincare and makeup. 

After dah beli, penting untuk korang patch test dulu before terus apply semua dekat muka. 

Dalam banyak-banyak patch area tu, I suggest untuk korang try neck because it is also a sensitive area like your face and is as prone to skin reactions as your face – but of course it’s not quite so visible. 

After buat skin patch test and your skin is okay, then you're good to go. That's mean your face can adapt with the ingredients of that product.

I think that's all. Thanks for reading!

Disclaimer - Please bear in mind though that just because you’ve never had a reaction to a product before it does not mean that it will never happen in future!

How to read CoSDNA?

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone! 

Do you ever heard about CoSDNA? 

CoSDNA ni ialah satu website yang kita boleh check any ingredients of our cosmetic product sama ada selamat ke tak untuk guna.

This website is very useful especially bila korang nak buat research on a product before buy something. 

It is very important to do research before you buy any product especially on skincare! Bila main hentam je pakai before research itulah punca breakout etc. Sebab taktau apa ingredient dalam product tu and boleh tak skin type kita kena dengan that ingredient. 

Contohnya macam sensitive skin, avoid alcohol so bila nak beli product tu tengok lah ada tak alcohol dalam ingredient tu. Kalau ada, try cari lain. 

Okay let's proceed,

Contohnya :

Kita boleh tengok ingredient apa yang ada dalam product tu and what is the function of each ingredients.

Selain tu, kita jugak boleh tengok the value of acne, irritant and also safety of each ingredient kalau kita pakai. 

Okay itu lah tujuan entry kali ni, nak read the value of that 3 things i stated just now. It's not difficult pun to analyse tapi saja nak bagitau jugak in case ada yang tak paham.

Based on this picture, take a look at ingredient Isopropyl Myristate.

For acne section - 5. It's a high value because the value of acne and irritant section is from 0~5. I have read a review from one user that said, she breakout horribly after using ingredient that contain acne value 5. So please avoid it.

For irritant, the value is 3 and we can say that it still can have a chance to irritant your skin. 

For safety, the value is 1. Safety index value can be from 1~9, the lower number means this ingredient is low hazard. So that's mean 1 is okay and we can say the ingredient is very safe to use for a long term usage.  

Take a look at ingredient named Methylisothiazolinone. 

The value of safety is quite high which is 7. So try to avoid it because it may be not safe for a long term usage.

If any the three column is blank, this means there is no data (not indicate the ingredient is safe or unsafe).

I hope this entry is helpful for you to do research when you want to buy any skincare or cosmetic products. That's all, thankyou :)

#Disclaimer - The skin condition of each person are different (even constantly changing) so tak semestinya apa yang CoSDNA ni bagitau memang akan terjadi. It depends on our skin.
