Casual Saturday Look

I know I am slacking on my makeup updates and face of the day kind of sharing, so here are I am sharing with you the look I am currently wearing - "My casual Saturday Look". I don't wear makeup as much as anymore... want to get back in the game of making time for myself and the things I love doing.

This look is very easy to achieve and it took me around 15 - 20 mins to complete it. No heavy concealing or foundation just contoured the sides of my cheek & nose and my jaw line to minimize the double chin appearance. There is nothing to be shy about having a big nose or double chin....just make it up with makeup.


 I have been searching high and low for the Nivea After Shave Balm all over town and I finally found one but it is not the sensitive version that all my favorite beauty gurus have been raving about. I found this at Watsons, gosh I cannot remember the price...If I'm not mistaken it is around RM 20 something. 

I really like this product, I have facial hair and I remove it every 2 days using all the sophisticated chemicals - facial hair removal creams. My hair is dark and so are my facial hair, If I dun remove it frequently it will leave black rash like bumps on my face - I think they are hair stubs. The cream only takes off the most top part of the hair leaving behind the roots that like to sabotage my appearance. At this point, I must stop and thank my dear hubby for all the tolerance and acceptance. He has not shown any form of disgust. I am truly blessed to have him as my life partner. 

 Facial hair removal creams are very potent, they do tend to break and dehydrate the skin. I have been using many different brands in the longest of time. Never found one formula that actually shows some care on the face. The Nivea After Shave is now my new found "Holly Grail", I truly mean it....it just hugs and comforts the skin. Very hydrating and makes my face feel supple. I do add on some moisturizer over it.

 The balm contains Vitamin E and Provitamin B5 that helps with skin repair and regeneration after shaving. Sounds too fancy for a man's product. I am loving every bit of it; definitely, definitely a repurchase for me. Oh yeah it smells like a man, yummy you say.....totally!!. The scent doesn't linger as much, very strong upon application but disappears as I layer up makeup. It has been 3 hrs now, no itchiness or oil build-up. Let's see how it feels later in the evening.

 My Verdict : Amazing - 5 Â«Â«Â«Â«Â«

Other products used are : 
  • Olay Total Effects Moisturizer 
  • Mary Kay Liquid Foundation in the shade Bronze 1(I mix both and then apply it on my face & neck)
  • Avon Simply Pretty Loose Powder 
  • Some generic contour pallet that I bought from Laazada
  • The Face Shop Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown
  • Nyx Studio Liquid Liner in Extreme Blue
  • Himalayas Black Jumbo Kajal Stick
  • Kate Eyeshadow 
  • Tarte Mascara 
  • Clinique Chubby Stick in the shade Super Strawberry 
My fav way to add some glam to my look is by adding coloured liners instead of colourful and vibrant eyeshadows. I alternate colour liners, sometimes I just line the bottom water line with a coloured liner instead. Trust me, it just makes the eyes pop. I keep the overall lid colour always on a neutral tone - nude or skin like tones works best for this look. You can still look glam at work in a subtle way. Always, go light-handed when applying eye makeup, it makes the look more natural and flawless (Just my personal preference).

 Hope this helps you rock your Saturday or any day. Make time for yourself, cause if you don't no one else will. It will show that YOU actually cared to look as good as you truly are. I am not saying make-up is a must, making time to bring out your beauty; inside-out is a MUST.

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.

Daily Look - Wear it with Confidence

When was the first time you ever got intrigued by make-up? mine was just about fiveish years of age. I used to remember the waking up to a brightly lit room and the sight of my mother getting ready for work. She had mostly glass bottles and jars lined perfectly framing the light brown dressing table.   A dark emerald blue glass bowl with all the bobby pins, a brush holder with the most funniest looking spike brush and my favourite part of the dresser; the majestic line of perfume bottles. Among  all the tempting items that I was warned not to play with there was dear mummy.  She held the lip brush on her right hand and drew the most perfect lips one could desire to have. It was always the crimson red lip colour. I learnt a great deal that brushes were not only to paint on paper but also to paint a perfect canvas - your face.  Since I have grown to handle make-up well I am constantly exploring products that can make a combination skin tone like mine loo...
