Guys, I am feeling miserable as heck! My mid-semester break is coming to an end. One week flew by just like that. I have been longing for a break from college but one week isn't enough. I don't wanna go back to my tiring, wake-up-at-530am-everyday life. I don't wanna deal with assignments. Why do I have to grow up?! Also, I am broke. I can't remember the last time I was this broke! I don't think I was nowhere this cash-less last year. Meh, maybe it's because I was saving for Boxing Day last year? So I had some cash lying around for emergency? Blegh, I don't even know. I'm starting to regret not getting a job after SPM last year. Ok, this post is turning into a rant. Moving on...

I kinda wanna rave about a few things I have been loving lately. I've been glued to my laptop since I first got it. I don't think I could live without my laptop. You can take away my phone but not my laptop! Uhm ok, I kinda forgot where I was going with the whole laptop thing. God, I have issues! You know what? Instead of making this a word-heavy post, why don't I just list down (with pictures) of the people/things I'm currently obsessing about? Yup, perfect!

In my last post, I wanted to talk iHerb but that post was getting way too long so I decided to split it into two! So if you haven't read the last post, go do it! Read that one before you begin reading this entry!

iHerb! I came across iHerb when I was looking for the best deals on Real Techniques brushes. Yup, I'm aware that Malaysia has Real Techniques but...


USD18 is about RM60! Do you see what I mean?! I was so elated when I came across iHerb! They mainly carry supplements, skin care, protein powders etc but they do have a variety of other beauty brands; Physicians Formula, EcoTools, ELF and so many more. The shipping services they offer aren't bad at all. I chose the DHL Express International one over the International Airmail that offers a flat rate of $4 just because with DHL, you can track your shipment so... Plus, there were quite a number of negative feedback about the International Airmail. So, go figure.

Guess how much I paid for these brushes and the shipping? About RM180! If I were to buy them locally, I would've paid close to RM600! But then again, there was an extra 20% on Real Techniques the week I bought them. But even without the extra discount, I would've paid about RM230! Still nowhere near 600 bucks!


In case you were wondering, I ordered them on the 17th and got them yesterday morning (26th).

And lucky for you guys, I have a coupon code which gets you USD5 off your first order or USD10 if the total is over USD40! :))

Coupon code: QBC471 or click the link here!

I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that I don't need anymore brushes for the next few months. Anyway, have fun shopping! And no, this isn't a sponsored post! 'Til then! x

I've been dying to post this! Ok so you know how everyone raves about the Real Techniques brushes? Yeah, guess who just jumped on the bandwagon? Me me me! It's never too late, right? I've been wanting these brushes for ages but I didn't wanna pay more than twice of what it actually costs. I've mentioned this in my previous entries; a set of Real Techniques brushes costs RM135/RM145 if you buy it at our local beauty supply shop but it only costs USD18 in the US! That's a massive difference! (I will go into detail about the site where I bought my RT brushes from later)

1. Powder brush
2. Blush brush
3. Core collection
4. Stippling brush
5. Expert Face brush
6. Setting brush
7. Silicone liner brush

I haven't had the chance to play with them yet but I'm excited to use the stippling brush. I've always been curious of how it works. It's just so unique. That and the blush brush! It's shaped like an egg! So cuteeee.

I also got 3 lipstick/lip colours. One from Topshop and the other two are from Revlon. There was a Buy 1 Free 1 deal for the Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick line a few weeks ago and of course being the lipstick junkie that I am, I swatched every colour available until I found ones I liked. The saleslady looked pretty creeped out by how excited I was. I'm sorry man, Yaya and lipsticks are inseparable! Can I just say how good the Topshop one smells?! The scent is like sugary/chocolate-y. So good!

1. Revlon Super Lustrous in Rose Velvet 2. Revlon Super Lustrous in Rich Berry 3. Topshop lip cream in Smart (obsessed!)

crappy swatch of the topshop one, sorry!

And thaaat, concludes this entry! In case you couldn't tell, I only bought one eye brush and the rest are face brushes. Why? Because I've never been a fan of fancy eye makeup. I mean, yeah, they are lovely but it's not something I'm into. I like to keep it "simple"; winged liner and a bright matte lip colour. I know I said I was gonna talk about the site where I got my brushes later on in this post but I feel like this post is getting too long. So, look out for my next post! I'll be talking about Luxola and iHerb and there'll be coupon codes too! :)

Before I start, why don't you guys check out my friends' vlog of their short getaway? :)



I have come to the point where I'm becoming very lazy to update my blog but I like writing, sharing my interests and all that jazz. So hiii! How you doing? ;) My week has been really fun! I had a couple of tests, English and Business Management, and a Math quiz last week. We got back our results this week. Much to my surprise, I did quite well despite the fact I barely studied for my Management paper! In fact, I hung out with my friends at Bangi the night before that paper! So yeah, I was pleasantly surprised at how well I did. Meh, it's probably just beginner's luck. I don't think I will score such high marks for my next test.

I've been thinking about doing the Get To Know Me tag or a post in general about myself, for awhile now. (Not being conceited here). I haven't done anything like it before. Plus, I don't have a proper "About Me" section on my blog ever since I revamped this old thing. I feel like the people who come across my blog don't really know who I am, my likes and dislikes and what not. So why not "introduce" myself through a blog post right?

Name?

I certainly didn't expect college to be this tiring oh my god. I can't even describe how exhausted I am. Only getting 5-6 hours of snooze everyday. Not cool, man. Not cool. I have tests next week. Am I terrified? Yup. I have no idea what to expect. I didn't think I would ever say this but I'm so scared for English. Back in high school, English exams were something I always look forward to sit for because I knew it was my strongest subject. That and Math! I hated the idea of not being the best in my class for those two subjects. Aizad and I would always compete to be the best in class for Math and he would ALWAYS beat me by just that much. I was always the second best for Math but English, best in class HAHAH. I am so full of myself. Hashtag no shame hashtag fabulous.
