Makeup for Raya 2013 - Day time makeup

Since hari raya makin menjelang tiba, of course kita nak nampak cantik dan segar sentiasa. Lebih-lebih lagi orang perempuan yang selalu sibok didapur masak sampai tengah malam. We dont want to have a 'hantu kak limah' looks masa pagi raya or attending open house nanti. Here, i want to share a very simple refreshing makeup steps yang everyone can do it! it takes less than 5 minutes to have this natural looks.


Here are the basic items required


1. Avon Blusher Brush
2. IN2IT 2-way foundation
3. Thebodyshop blusher
4. Olay White Radiance serum
5. Thebodyshop lip gloss
6. IN2IT mascara
7. Lipice lipbalm

I am trying my best to use and share the most affordable and great products that will not going to harm my skin/face.

For example, I am usually use TheBodyShop All-in-One Face Base. This cost RM75.00. But this 2-way cake sangat menjimatkan. For a heavy user (apply 2 times per day), I will only buy it once every 2.5 months. But in this tutorial I replaced it with IN2IT 2-way foundation. it works almost the same with TheBodyShop face base but i can feel it makes my skin a bit dry. The price is around RM23.

Throughout this tutorial, i will share some reviews of the product that i use.



Moisturiser adalah perkara paling basic untuk menjaga kelembapan kulit. My skin is best suits with Olay products. I am usually use the moisturiser. But this time, I am going to use the serum. This product is really economic. 1 small dot untuk whole face. It is a bit pricy. But sometimes we can get it with a very low price bila watsons buat sale. 


sebelum apply bedak, perkara yang paling penting adalah lipbalm. this is to ensure bibir lembap. selain tu, it helps untuk dapat warna lipstick yang sebenar (without pengaruh 'ikut darah'), dan lipstick tahan lebih lama.

Some people lebih suka apply foundation, then baru loose powder. Since i don't want my face to feel 'cakeky', i prefer to have all in one powder, despite foundation selalu mengecewakan bila tak pandai nak apply, dan loose powder asek berterabur dalam handbag. Euh!

Since bedak ni sekali dengan foundation, add more on darker (eye area). Untuk lips, we need to tap-tap atas bibir. Please jangan sapu... just tap-tap. It will blend dengan lipbalm tadi. Our target here to get a pale face.

Blusher helps a lot in making our face looks fresh! I love blusher from thebodyshop. sebab... economic, protect my skin, and long-lasting. Untuk blusher yang bersaiz kecil, it can last up-to 1.5 year. This time i choose yang ada shimmering. kalau ambil gambar, it will gives a special effect yang berkilat. selain tu, blusher from thebodyshop tidak menyebabkan jeragat. Yes, zaman dulu i used to pakai blusher dari brand A***. after 2 years, memang nampak kesan jeragat di pipi. :(

For this time, gunakan blusher yang berwarna pink untuk disapu disekitar cheek area sampai ke bahagian tepi hidung. Avoid bahagian muncung hidung. Senyum untuk dapatkan cheek area tersebut. once done dengan pipi dan sisi hidung, sapu sedikit warna pink di bahagian dagu.


Now is the time untuk highlighting. Highlight di bahagian tulang pipi (only 1 line di atas tulang pipi) dan bahagian tengah hidung.

Mascara is optional. Kadang-kadang termalas juga nak apply. as usual, bila nak pakai mascara kene pakai zig-zag. I am using mascara from in2it sebab mudah nak cuci. guna air, kepit bulu mata dengan jari, tarik. tak perlu makeup removal. well, i used to pakai brand lain... ya Allah, tercabut bulu mata pun tak hilang2.

now, final step. lip gloss from thebodyshop. I love this colour. nampak natural. Dulu I have a nightmare dengan lipgloss brand S********. Asal pakai je mesti bibir pecah. and the lipgloss berbau chemical. But this lipgloss sangat berbeza. sangat moisturising and long lasting. You can get this for RM39. By applying lipbalm, and foundation+bedak dulu pada bibir, we can get the actual color of the lipgloss/lipstick.

and that is all.

Hari Raya makin menjelang

Alhamdulillah, sudah 17 hari umat Islam berpuasa. Hari ni jumaat dan hari nuzul quran. Selangor cuti. So the whole day kemas rumah yang dah macam tongkang pecah, ganti gas baru (Mesra Petronas 1300-888-427), tukar langsir, basuh baju berbakul-bakul, masak for berbuka puasa, and finally, sambung menjahit sebab drama kat tv sangat boring... kalau tak couple gaduh, admire nak kawen, tak pun nak bolot keuntungan syarikat sorang2, oh trend terbaru, pukul2 a.k.a gangster... 
=.= boooring.


while menjahit, layan la lagu rock kapak abg awie kat youtube..

terbayang pulak macam que haidar dalam movie Rock... sapa yang tengok tau la scene mana..

oh.. let me introduce you to the background... that is my new langsir.. do we need to have name for it?

Farmville on Mac

Day 7 of using Mac

Today I have just learnt 2 new things on my Mac.
Screen Capture and install Adobe Flash Player on my Mac.

sounds noob

Haha

before this I don't bother on how to screen capture my windows on Mac. But just to share with you all my happiness of the ability to play Farmville on Mac, i put some efforts to find it.

here here.. see. i can manage my farm from my Mac. There are some apps that iPad cannot do, while Mac can. Before this, I did tried to install adobe Flash player on my iPad mini. But not supported. So I was thinking that there will be no Adobe Flash Player on Apple product. But lucky me. When I was about to play my playlist on YouTube, it ask me to install Adobe Flash Player on my browser. 

Love love love 

when there is a flash player, it is a green light to play FarmVille!

After the installation, i just try my luck to click on FarmVille link. 
Yes! It is successfully loaded!

I am very happy until i want to share the screen capture to prove it here. Guess what is my lazy step? capture thru my phone....

like this one...


but too shame to show my laziness to learn a new thing since my students will read this blog too.

I did Google on "Screen capture on Mac"

and I have found this useful website

http://guides.macrumors.com/Taking_Screenshots_in_Mac_OS_X

Command + Shift + 4, then select which area I want.

And I managed to get this beautiful picture of my farm... ;)

Jumaat dan barang basah... dan 1 talian hayat

Jumaat adalah hari yang dinantikan untuk membeli barangan basah. Restocking time. di mana shopping barang dapur yang best? mesti la pasar malam putrajaya. 


Makanan laut yang segar, sayur-sayuran yang berlambak-lambak. Of course ada gerai-gerai yang favorite. So today restock makanan laut such as ikan siakap (teringin sebab tengok masterchef professional masak hari tu), udang laut, dan ikan merah isi (my brother's all time favorite). Plan nak masak siakap untuk berbuka puasa ni.

Dah kata puasa, tekak ni lapar je rasa. singgah pulak di bahagian bazar ramadhan yang terletak seberang jalan je. Si abang teringin makan nasi tomato (tapi balik rumah rupanya pakcik tu bagi nasi briyani). Then nampak pulak kebab melawati (ke melewati??). teringin kebab daging. padahal lupa yang diri ni tak la boleh tahan sangat dengan daging kebab (allergy). dapat kebab daging. dengan happynya selebar senyuman pada kotak happy meal nak balik masak. tiba-tiba...

kereta tak boleh start! bateri habis. dah la tinggal 1 je kereta comel biru tu yang ada sebab si perkasa perak tengah warded. oh my... macam mana... macam mana... 

bing... si comel biru pakai insurance AXA. cuba cari dalam laci tak jumpa sticker auto assist diorang (lupa yang fon ada internet). Fine lah. call kurnia insurance (1-800-88-3833) since si perkasa perak pakai kurnia insurance. call centre kurnia memang tidak pernah mengecewakan. the operator will try their best to assist in any car break-down. tapi untuk this time kurnia cannot help to send their people to help us. BUT, the operator did asked where are we and they gave us the contact number untuk foreman yang mereka tahu within that area. may Allah bless you. they did gave me 2 numbers. one of them is Jackson Towing Service (Joey 016-3324616).

we called joey. with a very polite and fast service, she has arranged everything for us. she said the foreman will arrive in 1 hour. And Alhamdulillah, tepat satu jam lepas call, the foreman arrived.

nak jadikan cerita, naseb la ada some extra money masa tu. and that amount cukup-cukup tak lebih tak kurang daripada yang dicaj. Alhamdulillah.

While waiting for them to arrived, my brother yang demam dan suara serak ala ramli sarip, fulfil his time by playing a minion game on his iPad. Non-stop okay! 


What about me? Continue shopping makanan nak berbuka dalam kereta since we are just realised that we dont have any drinks to berbuka puasa. i have got myself air soya and sate. cukup la setakat syarat berbuka puasa. 

the foreman came tepat pada waktu azan. so we just berbuka dengan seteguk air while waiting kereta untuk siap. 5-10 minit and its done! the foreman, chen, and Low, were helpful and friendly.


Dalam perjalanan balik rumah, i said to my brother, we are lucky to live in Malaysia that has multiple races. Cuba bayangkan kalau malaysia ni ada malay or muslim saja, our car break-down masa nak berbuka puasa. For sure tak ada foreman yang willing to come masa nak berbuka puasa. kalau ada pun mesti charge more than usual. So, respect each other. masing-masing are surviving to live in this world and semua cari makan. 

Alhamdulillah, Allah always with us.

akhirnya.... 'udara' saya sampai juga

Alhamdulillah rezeki. Terima kasih Bae. For belanja me this upfront birthday gift untuk tahun 20XX. 

Moga Allah limpahkan lagi rezeki yang tak putus2. itu je yang mampu diucapkan. 

penantian sejak dari hari pertama Macbook Air 2013 dilancarkan berakhir juga.

I used to published a post berkenaan dengan penantian ini... Apple atas kapal


and hari isnin hari tu, ia tiba.

Yahoooooo!!! melompat seronok bila tau macbook dah sampai. cepat sangat rasanya. Apple jangka kan untuk sampai pada 22 July 2013. tak sangka on 15th july dia dah sampai. lihatlah muka ku kegembiraan. biar benar ni... i am now having my own macbook air. selama ni hanya pinjam laptop abg je sebab my previous notebook HP yang digunakan masa final year ijazah, and whole duration untuk master dah 'selamat' screen nya.

Finally I have my own notebook. *muka terkejut*


disebalik kegembiraan... 


this is my bad habit. 
i love the 'after-manufactured' smell. 
wanginya.
