Holiday Gifting Ideas

It can be really a challenging ordeal to get the best yet cost effective gifts for your friends and family during this holiday season. December is the time of year that I spend and splurge not only for myself but for my family and friends as well. December also happens to be my anniversary month and I love getting my man double gifts to amp up the “Decemberness” of my life.

When you are shopping for gifts and having a really tight budget, always pick gifts that are meaningful for whom ever you are gifting. Nothing is considered cheap when it comes from your heart and is really meaningful to the recipient.  As for me my gift range is as low as RM 5 and could reach up to RM300 tops.

So, as I am busy preparing for the gift exchange sessions, I thought of sharing with you guys some of the gifts that I have bought so far and am still accumulating. Let’s start off with the cute gift:


I love this little bottle, it is suitable for both male or female. The cozy sleeve comes in 4 colors and design. Got this from Ceria 99 which is at the ground floor of Mega Mall Penang. I picked a gender neutral color so that I can gift it to anyone of my friends or family members.


The next gift is for all you bling junkies out there, I got this beauties at an accessory shop in Bukit Jambul Complex Penang. They were on sale – 3 for RM 10.00 it was a sweet deal, "glamed" it up in a cute jewelry box that I already had at home. 


I always buy makeup as Christmas gifts for me, myself and I and for everyone I am gifting. I really believe that makeup is one weapon every person should have, wear and carry along at all times. You may never know when a lip balm or the bright siren red lipstick may come in handy. So I got these 6 lovely lipsticks from Wet and Wild; 5 of them were only RM 12.90 each the 6th one is RM 20.00. Got them at SaSa. Haven’t packed them yet.

The second batch of lipsticks that I got is my very own gift to myself the NYX Matte Lipsticks. I just fell in love with these babies the moment I saw them at Sephora, they were RM 55.00 for a box of 3 gorgeous lipsticks.

 Last but not least I have 2 more gifts to show you guys, the first one is from Watsons a lovely box full of hand cream. They come in a good and descent size that you can give them as a set or individually. The best part is they were supper inexpensive 2 boxes for RM 30.00. I'm not kidding....

No I am not kidding, I ended up getting 2 sets. tested all of them they smell amazing. The first one and the third one is very subtle/mild. My fav is the middle one it smell so yummy - Palm Tree Vanilla.

This is a yearly staple, I always get face products for my mom and aunts every year. Mary Kay has become my family's fav and it is safe to say that there is no turning back or second thoughts when it comes to repurchasing these babies....they range from RM 75.00 - RM 79.00 in price. Is worth every cent.

So my loves, do check these cools goodies up, they are pretty affordable and meaningful. Gifting should always begin from the heart and is not what you give is important is the thought that matters the most. Stay happy and shop smartly.

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...

Smokey Blood Orange + Giveaway Sneak Peek

Hello dolls, I have a makeup tutorial for you ladies. This week, I created another Smokey Eye Look - "Smokey Blood Orange". Why smokey look you may ask? I am actually polishing my smokey eye makeup skills. I was once told that the shape of my eye cannot accommodate smokey/cat eye. In the effort of proving the nasty lady ( not mentioning names here) wrong. I am going full fledged in perfecting the smokey eye looks. This is what happens when you walk around makeup aisle without makeup on, people are so judgmental and they think we are ignorant just because they are. They were suppose to help us enhance our beauty and product knowledge. If I have the time, I really want to do more looks to share with you guys. I am not a social media addict, I still have no Twitter or Snapchat (lol) but every like on the other social medias that I get, just motivates me to do more. I am so blessed to have found ricedolls, is truly a platform to showcase your talent and learn for man...

First Impression Friday : Bioderma Cleansing Water & Makeup Remover

Hello my dear friends, how was the long holiday and Deepavali celebration? I had a nice and cozy one this year...not the usual insanely busy Deepavali cause hubby dear was working. I had a kutty  (small) meet and greet session with KL & Penang Beauty Bloggers.  We met over IG (Instagram), I practically stalked these Divas.....and now we are good good friends. I love them to the moon and back. Being a Leo I don't have issues talking to people despite the introvert I am. The lioness does like having people at times (I emphasize on the word at times). I will be doing a blog post dedicated to that and give you all the juicy bits of our meet up there. I am jumping on the First Impression Friday bandwagon. One of my favorite you-tuber/beauty guru does them too... she is none other than Bunny_Grav3yardgirl. I am so sure she in your top notch list too. Here is a link to her channel on You Tube :  https://www.youtube.com/user/grav3yardgirl  FIRST IMPRES...
