yes it’s about some #firstworldproblems so i think i’ll be condemned by Him. *gulps*

anyway.

yes or no? #firstworldproblems

clothes are all from Ti:zed Factory (except the white top on the right, which i’ve posted before)

mum said i should update my wardrobe already (yes,my mum=_= let’s say we have different preference but she is indeed ‘updated’ on that)

so i bought it when i went to Jusco running for all the other errands.

i don’t actually buy clothes from Jusco departmental stores coz most of the times it’s a lil pricey and the designs are not what i wanted. i prefer Ipoh Parade but that also requires careful selection (i.e. not too ‘shocking’) considering my profession.

but Ti:zed is another place to go for more affordable and trendier clothes, and it is better if you have some designs/cuts in your mind already,especially some of  the current trends.(but dont think it covers all)

and i had to resist from buying other casual pieces =_= #broke. but never mind, i can always make them multipurpose,no?

oh yes, notice the bag? i finally bought a new one. a cheap one. still waiting to buy a good,branded one.

*sigh* i’ve always have problem with bags. i dont know why. unless im carrying a clutch going for a night event/function, a small bag can never be enough for me,it seems.

i stuff my necessities, emergency medicines, emergency image rescue tools, emergency tools for tricky situations and who knows what ..ALL in one bag. #kiasi  (scared of death) =_____=”

but i swear i’ve improved alot (praise my virgoan organisation skills =_=) all things in mini version and i always find ways to organise them.

and i hate changing bags for different purposes coz i scared misplacing or losing things, so i bought a ‘multipurpose’ one. =__= #kiasi2

i actually spent some time (a very long time i think) to move all the stuff to my new bag, and i sacrificed my gastric medicine (well,since i dont get much attacks these days, i figured) and the surgical face mask (yes that was the kind of things you can find in my bag! doubt not!)

i hope this one can last until i buy a good,branded bag. *wonder*

well, i’ve just started an experiment..

with..

Hada Labo  Arbutin Whitening Lotion

(pictures from Hada Labo MY site)

so it is actually a ‘lotion’ with whitening function (as in, toner,but not the astringent type)

• it is high in Arbutin ,to fight dark spots, and optimize skin’s radiance and translucency
• high vitamin C to help skin recover from sun damage and also reduces dark spots for clear fair skin
• and Hada Labo’s  Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate skin
• not to forget, sans common skin irritants.

i wanted to buy this even before my own toner finishes because im fascinated by both the whitening and hydrating fuctions with high efficiency, and it would be great for people like me who has frequent sun exposure by driving..(can count the dark spots on my face =_=)

the other reason would be the experiment, and it does sound weird, you’ll see.

the experiment im doing is not only on my face, it’s my body’s ‘dark spots’..yes, with the toner..

i’ll let you see why:

this is their Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturising Lotion..1 sold every 4 seconds in Japan..and because it is so pure, it can be put on other body parts to hydrate the skin area specifically.

so i thought, i’ll try my  Arbutin Whitening Lotion on my body too!

you see, i’m that kesian:

it was Bee Inn’s wedding..

and then..

see the two tones? =_____=x

so now i’m putting it on my body’s ‘dark spots’ too!!

i’ll let you know if it works..*shrug*

 

the allergy/sensitive philosophy:  now when you’re choosing your products, it is very important to always remember that, no one product can be safe to use on all types of skin with allergies/ sensitive skin. they can only remove most of the common  skin irritants, but each skin is unique and who knows which particular element can trigger yours. the same goes with food. so, it’s like you never use, you never know. =p

er well..this took me like ages, contemplating whether or not to write..coz im not an expert anyway..

dont write=selfish coz didnt share

write=show off, as if a know-all

so?how?

=_____=x

so obviously now im writing,as you can see..for the benefit of those who care to read/know..*sigh* #shameless

so it’ll be all about this evil BB cream, which seemed to be the fav of many asian stars as it claims to have multiple functions in one bottle, i.e. foundation/coverage, blemish balm (which,was the main character of this product), whitening+UV, anti-aging and more, depends on the brand/product..some even have the gemstones’ extract =_____=”

i have been putting make up since secondary school,for performances. and as many other vain girls, i once used this product too, tho i didnt ‘embrace’ it/ ‘worship’ it. i thought i’d love it as i was always on the go, moving from work to gatherings or running errands and etc..it was just convenient..

so one day i find myself having weird ‘glow’ (more like ghostly, get it?), not that kind of ‘glow’ we girls wanna have, you see..and when i go under the sun, somehow i can clearly see the layer of BB cream above my skin, like elevated..=.=”

i didnt think much, but i stopped using it anyway. i dont usually put foundation as i think it is too clogging for my skin and troublesome to maintain..i dont use lipstick too as i deem it too thick/bold for lip colour.. but i love my fake lashes, tinted lip balm, tinted moisturiser, and blush.. and i changed to put on masks more frequently, and make sure i use appropriate product for my skin based on skin type and the functions i want, separating day (UV based) and night products (as the skin works differently at different times)..

then one day, i saw this video:

basically it says,

1. as the word ‘greed’ tells, there just cant be that many elements in one product, and very often,to reach that goal, it could involves other ways of production that harm the skin.
2. it could well covers, but will never nourishes the skin. = not nutritious for skin
3. many of us wanted the ‘glow’ on our skin, so manufacturers also includes the fluorescent elements in the BB cream, which, if you go under the night club’s light/flash, you actually see the ghostly-lit face.

with logical consideration, i think this is very true..so i ditched my BB cream.

case 1: not long ago, a friend asked me about it. i said, you can try other stuff but never the BB cream( due to the reason above). and soon another friend of ours also commented that it is true that BB cream is not trustworthy.

[for stage performances, i still recommend the foundation, as the light is too harsh, but remember to let skin rest and recover from make up,always, or your bare face/skin would collapse]

case 2: alright this is very embarrassing..i actually saw a photo, and felt something is not right..so the very kepoh (nosy) me went and asked my friend whether she used BB cream, and true enough, she suspects that the bad breakouts was caused by it (she has just opened that bottle of BB cream), so the even more kepoh (nosy) me went on and explained to her. (good thing must share, right? =_=)

so now you know how evil it is..

as i’ve always said, the skin is more important than the make up, nourish it instead of covering it..(also dont need to scare the BF away after wiping the make up off..LOL..)

so, do you find it beneficial? need more?(and about what if you do)

ah! just a quick post and i just have to blog about this!

im just done with this movie, the Borrower Arrietty by Studio Ghibli.

if you dont know what it is yet, see this:

it’s about this mini mini girl named Arrietty from the mini mini family in the mini mini world..

i watched the french version so i dont really get the details, but i get the story line in general, and the art? needless to say..always so enchanting! exhilirating!

pictures from the movie’s site.

so it says there are the mini world within us, and this movie is about this particular family under a house, and how they survive by ‘borrowing’..so imagine a piece of biscuit can be turned into a pack of flour for them, a cube of sugar (which is ‘featured’ alot in this movie, symbolic?) and drinking drops of water..and etc..

so one day the ‘giant’ boy discovered them but he was nice to them. all is well until the dumb maid tried to get rid of them =__=x tho the boy tried to protect them with his frail body..

so in the end they had to move, understanding that it was two different worlds, and they better learn how to make use of the nature’s stuff instead of borrowing..but i think Arrietty kinda accept the other boy from the mini world.. ah ok scrap that.

all in all, it described quite a big part of our fantasy about the possible existence of another world (other than the animal kingdom)..

heh..alright..work is calling.

p/s: hey, i think i can be a part of this mini mini world, you know, since im this smaaaaall.. get it?????

i have no idea what to name this culture (or maybe i didnt know deep enough), but i kinda adapted to it since my uni days, when i need to wait for someone, a bus or train and etc.

it is like a combination of alfresco and people watching..(eh wait, im not a stalker ok..)

alright lemme tell you all about it..

it’s kinda philosophical..hence this post is heavy duty (HAHA warned ya)

usually i’d pick a cafe (or mamak =__=) and order something,drinks or snacks if the time permits, then get my book or magazine out, and i’ll start by enjoying the food/drink, and book/magz..i mean really enjoy the stuff on hand..

and very often, i’ll also observe the surrounding and people..guessing their stories..(ha! philosophical now! no?)

and at times, inspiration strikes..and you’ve just got a lesson in life..

and here’s what i had last night at the train station:

roti canai and hot milo..LOL they only have this when i arrived..yea the bottle is mine..

pictures of the KTM stations, including the Majestic..

waiting for the arrival..i was so used to it..i mean, travelling with public transport..beat me in that..

the interior of the cafe in the Majestic..

some people hate the ‘alone time’ and feel depressed just thinking about it..

i’d just ditch that..and take it as a chance to enjoy ‘discovering the world and myself’..

=.=”

right..

p/s: so do you spend your ‘alone time’ sulking or stuff it full to the brim with plans?

made this out of plain vanity:

*click the picture to see more vanity* =__=”

and also this:

the whole point of a vain post..=__=” no?

scared i look old-fashioned and overdone..i was in my Form5 Prom dress alright..

used double layer of fake eye lashes (the face shop XNS, criss-crossed medium, and another cheap jap brand long straight dramatic lashes) and found the face shop XNS was not so effective in pushing it..

i still love my KissMe Natural Long and another US brand of Thick Criss-crossed..

tried using lighting this time and felt so…..artificial..=_____=x

ANYWAY, more vanity:

found the ways of wearing a white round-necked long top (passed on from my younger cousin sister)

*click the picture to see more vanity too* =__=”

the first combination was actually an ‘accident’..and finally created the recent trend of high-waisted, shirt-in look..and then i thought i can do more, so apart from that office look, there’s also the smart-casual for tea and denim-ified sunny outing look..

alright. enough of vanity.

it is true when we say , ‘it never ends’..#girlsendlesswoes

any ‘problem’ could pop up anytime..

and this time, im stuck with itchy scalp and hair fall problems due to the weather and late nights..ok i promise, no more late night dramas (=_= the soap kinda drama alright)..what? ’d you think i’d be so hardworking?

anyway, that is just the start of the problem..(and common too, no?)

when i’ve reached Watsons, the other problem began.. ‘which one?’..

and something caught my eye..

CLEAR Women’s Anti Hair Fall with Nutrium 10

i realised it has the ‘his & her’ difference..

you know how they always say that the men and women’s problems have to be treated differently? (hormone and sort) so i picked up an anti hair fall’s and read that it treats dandruff, dryness and itchiness, aside from hair fall..

yup..suits me..

the results?

the first wash doesnt show much but from second wash onwards, hair fall and itchiness has greatly reduced..

so glad i dont have to bear with itchy scalp and falling hair anymore!

wait..

i think pimples are popping up on the forehead..oh damn the late night dramas..

think i have to get something to treat it asap..*sigh* #girlsendlesswoes ..it never really ends..
