My Beauty Resolutions for 2014

So, Christmas is over and we will welcome yet another new year in a matter of days!

I don't know about you, but I am super excited about it because this means that Chinese New Year is coming up, and I will be flying back to my hometown to spend quality time with my friends and family back where I come from :)

But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. First, we have to welcome the new year, and what better way than to map down your resolutions for 2014?

Personally for me, I feel that I should have two types of resolutions this year.

Type 1: My full year resolutions, which can encompass anything under the sun, like, personal achievements, goals, career path, and perhaps getting married? :p ok so the getting married part might be too soon hehehe

Type 2: My beauty resolutions. Because let's face it, I'm not getting any younger, and we womenfolk have to be extra diligent in keeping our skin beautiful and healthy! And that is why this demands a list of its own.

So moving on, my beauty resolutions.

1. Definitely to go green, and to be eco-friendly, and the best way to do that is to only go for products that are organic, and chemical-free. It has to be from natural plant ingredients, and contains botanical extracts.

Let's face it. Would you put harmful chemicals on your skin? I don't think so. Personally for me, once I get a bad reaction on my skin after using a particular skincare product, I will immediately stop using it. Best to stop no matter how good the product claims to be, and protect your skin from these harmful ingredients.

2. To be less lazy with my daily and nightly skincare regime. More often than not, I have caught myself falling asleep without properly removing my make up, or I just remove it with my make up remover and fall asleep quickly after that (mostly cos I am reassured by their claim that they remove make up 100% and have moisturising properties so I don't need to wash my face after that).

I think having two resolutions is good enough for a year :p Goodness knows how hard it is to even keep to one >.<

I firmly believe that by keeping with these two resolutions, it is enough to bring out beauty from within, and to make me more ready for the year after that :D

What do you think? Any beauty resolutions you would like to share? Let me know in the comments section below! :)

Til the next time, stay beautiful!

Review: Bloop Nail Strips

Hey guys, Christmas is now over!!! How did you guys celebrate? :) I for one, had a blast with my family, and le bb gave me a gift that I will always remember and cherish :) Want to know what that is? stalk my instagram and find out for yourself! :D hehehe

But apart from celebrating with loved ones, I celebrated in style as well, with my bloop nail strips, which I will be reviewing in this post, thanks to HiShop and bloop!

Beau Box, the Brand new Beauty Box in town!

Hey lovelies, there is a brand new beauty box in town, and I bet most of you are no stranger to this particular box, which boasts four or more full sized items in their box!

Yes darlings, you guessed it right, it is the highly acclaimed BeauBox, the only beauty box brand in town that promises to ALWAYS give you four or more FULL SIZED items in the box! When the box was first launched a few weeks ago, I was already smitten. Which lady in their right mind would say no to such a beautiful pink box that is both sturdy and pretty at the same time? I knew I had to get it right then.

Etude House Mini Haul

Hey guys, let me just ask you a quick question. Have you guys ever wanted to get your hands on some cosmetic or skincare product that have been highly reviewed and raved about by everyone but just couldn't bring yourself to part with your money cos it's too expensive?

Come join in the boat as I am one of those people :p I have always heard praises sung about Etude House products, but whenever I looked at the price tag, I could never bring myself to spend that amount of money on those products.

What do you think is inside this little bag from Etude House?

Review: Bloop Nail Polish in H216

heylo dearies :) Tis the season to be jolly, and to head out to Christmas parties, and what better way to dress up your talons than with super bright colours from Bloop? That's right, I'm here once more to review nail polishes and nail strips, thanks to HiShop!

I got the beautiful pink box in the mail last week after I got home from work, and I was quite excited to see all the goodies in the box :D There are two nail strips in the box, one for your fingers, and another for your toes. There is one nail polish from the range of Bloop polishes that they have, and the usual three vouchers from HiShop, MilkADeal, and White :)

MrLens: Competitive, Fast and Reliable

Have any of you ever felt that you are nearing the lifetime of your current contact lenses but can never seem to find the time to go get them at the nearest optician near you? I know I have always felt that way, and I can never seem to get my contacts fast enough before I had to replace them >.<

But thanks to Mr. Lens and The Butterfly Project, I could get my lenses on time this time around because Mr. Lens have made it so much easier to do so! All I had to do was head over to http://www.mrlens.com.my/en and browse through the wide range of contacts they have available!

Movie Review: Walking With Dinosaurs 3D (2013)

Hey guys, just got back from Nuffnang's Premiere Screening of Walking with Dinosaurs thanks to Ben (who can't make it due to work) and here I am posting up a review! :p

Synopsis: The story is set 70 million years ago in Alaska, high in the Arctic. Each year, the long dark winters – three months of perpetual darkness and violent snow storms – drive the dinosaurs southwards in their thousands on a great annual migration. Amongst the spectacle, we travel with Patchi, a strange but endearing Pachyrhinosaurus with a large frill and horns.

A Journey Through Time Closes with Elegance

The last month of November was a very eventful month for me as I was involved in a week-long showcase of luxury timepieces and jewellery at A Journey Through Time VII at Starhill Gallery. Endorsed by The Ministry of Tourism and Culture Malaysia, this year’s A Journey Through Time had once again awed watch & jewellery enthusiasts with exquisite timepieces and jewellery with its display of the latest and most unique collections from world-renowned brands.

Making a grand finale for the closing event was the highly anticipated Starhill Gallery Watch and Jewellery of the Year Awards, which saw some of the world’s leading luxurious brand nominated for the various different awards presented.

Kinohimitsu Luau Party: A taste of Hawaii

Ever wondered how Hawaii was like? Ever felt jealous because some people you know went to Hawaii and you couldn't go? Lucky for me, I got a chance to experience how Hawaii was like thanks to Kinohimitsu and The Butterfly Project! :D

The Hawaiian Luau party was held in the heart of KL City, in one of the most relaxing spas in town, the Vila Manja Spa. Even though it was smack right in the middle of the city centre, you could barely hear the sound of the traffic. It was serene and the only sounds to be heard that night was the squeals of delight from the other 49 Butterflies, and the calming flow of the fountain.

Santa Hermo Grant my Wish!

The entire month of December is the month of giving, and I have found out that Santa Hermo will be granting wishes to some selected lovely girls thanks to The Butterfly Project!!!

Everybody loves to make lists, and a wishlist is no exception. Therefore, with Santa Hermo granting wishes around the corner, I decided to head on over to Hermo.com.my to see what's available that I would want in my wishlist.

I started off with more than 10 items on my wishlist, but setting a budget of RM80 (and a little bit more), I have narrowed down my list to these two items. 

Want to know what I wished for?

Shop for Charity at Natta Cosme

Hey lovelies, how has December been treating you thus far? Hope it has been treating you well :)

As you know, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines was an exceptionally powerful typhoon which began in early November 2013, and as at todate, has killed 6,000 people and counting :(

As citizens of the world, I'm sure we all feel for these people, and though at times we might feel that we are not able to do anything (being so far away), I can assure you, where there's a will, there is a way. While we might not be able to go on ground and provide relief support for the victims, I believe that we can do what we can to help alleviate their burden.
