SO YOU KNOW HOW I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT SOMETHING BIG IS COMING UP IN MY LIFE IN MY PREVIOUS POSTS? I've been DYING to share it with the entire world but I didn't wanna jinx it. You probably won't find it anymore because I deleted it after I sat for this one shit paper that I was so so sure I was going to fail

but guess what!!!

I DIDN'T FAIL. I FAILED NOTHING. My results aren't as good as I was hoping for, especially my Business Law. Dude I was hoping to get at least a D (Distinction) but... And the paper that I thought I was going to fail, I did okay!!

I applied for early release of my exam results but I never told my parents because I thought if I found out earlier than when they thought results would be released, it would give me enough time to come up with a way to tell them about it if it did turn out to be bad. But the second I got the email and saw no fail, I screamed!!

ALHAMDULILLAH I AM GOING TO MELBOURNE

I AM SO HAPPY OK BYE

SO I DID A VIDEO HAHAHA If only you knew how awkward it was for me to film this... I was debating whether to do a talk thru or just mute all the footage and add music. Obviously, I chose the latter. I just felt so uncomfortable talking to the camera but I did it!!
Anyway, that makeup look is what I wear most of the time. I never wear foundation on a regular basis because it feels heavy and gross especially in a hot, humid country like Malaysia. I only opt for foundation on the weekends or any special occasions.
It may seem a lot or a little to some people, but this is what I'm comfortable with. For me, the most important thing is to conceal my dark circles. I'm not too bothered by my scars or any other blemishes. Just my panda eyes!! Hate it!!
I have 2 more video ideas. One of them requires a few 'props' which I don't know how to get my hands on... because the shipping is expensive.... I don't have that kind of money.... Meh, I'll figure something out soon.
'Til then!

Ya know how I sometimes do non-beauty favourites? I think I might call it Yaya Recommends. That name is literally the first thing I could think of. I kinda like it. I guess this would consist of movies, TV shows (duh) & possibly restaurants? I'm just going with the flow here.

I actually loved this movie! I thought the title was a tad bit corny but I thought it was really good. It has Dakota Johnson, Rebel Wilson and many others whom I have no idea what their names are. It's literally about how to be single. I'm trying to find a way here... to summarize what it's about without spoiling the movie but I find it rather difficult. I can say that I wanted Alice (Dakota Johnson) to be with Tom in the end. Does that help? LOL here's the trailer!

2. The Intern

I've been wanting to watch this ever since it came out. I loveeee Anne Hathaway! This was adorable to watch! This probably sounds gross but I thought it was gonna be about Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro's character falling for each other... I thought it was gonna be a 'light' movie but it has way more drama than I thought it would. I loved this! Pleaseee watch it! You can check out the trailer here if you'd like.

3. Mother's Day

This pleasantly surprised me because I thought it was gonna be as cheesy as Valentine's Day or New Year's Eve. I didn't like those. Thought it was all over the place! But this... this is so funny! I reaaally didn't expect to like this. It was so good! Trailer here.

4. Gilmore Girls

Jared Padalecki and Milo Ventimiglia ugh!!! So handsome!!

I started watching Gilmore Girls because a) I was in the mood to watch an old series - it was between this, The OC or One Tree Hill b) I knew my mum loved this show so I thought I'd give it a go! I am addicted!! I thought I liked Rory and Dean together until Jess came into the picture. Why do the jerks win the good girls??!! I feel bad for Dean but omg I am obsessed with Jess!! I am only at season 3, so yes... I have a lot more to watch. I have a feeling Jess and Rory won't last. They have that certain spark/chemistry between them. I freakin love it!!

5. Frank Sinatra's songs

I've been listening to a couple of his songs lately - The Way You Look Tonight and My Way. Click here and here to listen! Loveee the vibe it gives!

6. Soulwax's remix of Tame Impala's Let It Happen

This remix is SO long, it's actually ridiculous!! It has this groovy vibe to it; I can't help but to dance along when I listen to this song! Song here!

AAAAND I'M BACK WITH ANOTHER FAVOURITES. Finals are over. I am currently free from any 'academic responsibilities' and enjoying every second of it. I haven't put up a favourites in months! I've accumulated quite a lot since the last favourites post ;)



A. Urban Decay setting sprays
DUDE. This is definitely worth the hype. SO WORTH IT. I thought the regular one with the purple cap was great... And then I tried the oil control version (grey cap), holy shit?! AMAZING. Freaking amazing. 300/10! The bottle gets dirty really easily though. Nevertheless, I WILL BUY THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN.
C. Urban Decay Naked Skin concealer in Medium Neutral
Saw everyone raving about this and decided to buy it few weeks ago during the 20% off sale at Sephora. I love it!! It's so light and creamy! I feel like my MAC Pro Longwear concealer is a bit too thick compared to this. I don't know about the longevity though. Never really noticed. I'd definitely buy this again!



A. Inglot Duraline
I got this because of Claire Marshall! So I use gel liners all the time. Easiest to use! When it dries up, I usually throw them away, which sucks because there's usually still so much product left. Then I discovered this. It basically "un-dries" any product that's in a pot (i.e. gel liners, cream shadows etc). Highly recommend this!

B. Maybelline Rocket Volume mascara
I never know what to say about mascaras. To me, it just gets the job done and I love it. I don't really have anything else to say besides that.

C. Colourpop Brow Colour in Black 'n Brown
I like this a lot! Very long-lasting and it matches perfectly with my black hair. I don't have my natural hair right now though. I dyed it a few months back but there's not really a huge difference so I think I can get away with the brow colour.



A. Colourpop lippies
I have four colours - Bumble, Tulle, Beeper and Rooch. I love the first three (shown above) but Rooch is so horrible!! I was so excited when I got it because of how pretty the colour looked like online. But the formula is terrible. It's far more drying compared to the other 3 I mentioned. It was so flaky and SO drying. I don't know if I got a dud or what but I do not recommend Rooch. The other 3, amazing. I've seen complaints on how people think they're drying but I think they're bearable. Definitely not sticky on the lips, at least on me it's not. Bumble and Tulle are at the top of my favourites list! Beeper is straight up grey on me! So beyond my comfort zone but I actually like it.

B. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Cannes
I LOVE THIS. It's like a warm pink. Perfect for everyday!

C. Tarte Lip Paint in TBT
I wanted this colour ever since I first swatched it but it was sold out practically everywhere. So one day, I browsed through Sephora online to kill time. Clicked on New In, saw this and freaked out. Bought it immediately! This colour is so nice! Definitely has that mauvy feel to it. The formula takes forever to dry though. And the packaging.. I don't like it. Am I the only one? I feel like it wastes a lot of product because it just sticks to the cap thingy. Tarte definitely needs to work on that!

D. Kylie Lip Kit in Candy K
The lip product everyone is talking about! By far, this is the most I've ever spent on a lip product. To be honest, it is not the best formula I've ever tried! I was a bit disappointed ya know. I guess because everyone was raving about it so much so I already had high expectations on it. I don't know man. I thought it was a bit too drying than what everyone says. I felt like Colourpop's formula is better! I kinda thought the colour looked gross on me at first but then it grew on me. Now I love it. I'd give this a 7/10. Would I buy it again? Probably HAHA. I want Reign from the metal matte collection and Dolce K! Got this from lushxmalaysia on Instagram! If you're looking to buy these, don't bother paying RM200 for it. Those people hike up the prices like crazy! I think lushxmalaysia sells it the cheapest!

Update: The paragraph above was written a month ago. I think the formula is great... sometimes. I don't know if I'm the only one who has this issue but sometimes it feels great, sometimes it cracks on the lips. It's inconsistent! I must say, when it actually does perform well, it feels like I'm wearing nothing on my lips, it feels smooth! I reaaally want Exposed :(

I think I'll do a post on my favourite skincare products soon. I thought of incorporating it here but this post is already getting too long so... I'm actually thinking of doing a video of it instead. Do a stop motion film. No idea how to make a stop motion film though. I'm gonna have to work on that... see ya!

Can't believe how great my phone's camera is! I'm impressed!

YOU GUYS, I am done with my second semester aka my first year of my degree! God, I'm old. Finals are next week! #pray4yaya

Took this on the way home earlier this evening. So pretty!!

It's week 12 of the semester aka the last week of the semester and it just hit me that my first year of degree is about to end. Finals are 2 weeks away and I am absolutely terrified!!!
