Make it happen in 2013

Sabrina Tajudin December 31, 2012 6 comments

Assalamulaikum and hello everyone! I mange to post again today although my internet line is pissing me off. I wanted to thank each one of you for entering my MIVVA giveaway. You new year resolution is awesome and you guys inspire me so much. As today is the last day of 2012. What goal have you guys complete? To be honest, I did not complete all of my 2012 resolution. I blame my self for it. It is not because of people around me but it is because of me. Some habit that I have not change and negative emotion comes to me sometime. I promise my self to be positive all the time,but sometimes things goes aren't as planned. Its ok! I have a new resolution for 2013 too! Its ok to dream out of the ordinary girls. What happens yesterday keep it as a lesson. Don't ever regret your mistake but remember not to do it again. Start everyday with a new day and always start it positively. You only have 365 morning a year. Don't ruin it. A lil doubt and negative words towards yourself will ruin your whole day which make the chances of getting your goal done banish.

Remember that you are the reason of your own happiness. Not the people around you. Its you. You are in charge.

Yes, you can dream big. Dream of anything impossible! For example, you saw a lady drive a luxury car that you have been love so much then the doubt came. Your mind start talking to you negatively "She must got that car from her sugar daddy! How can she afford that! She must be a prostitute! Probably she had a rich boyfriend! Ah belagak!" I have seen alot of people say that. PLEASE! Don't ever say that. Negative minds create negative attitude. Negative attitude will minus all of your dreams and goal. Why? Because you have negative minds towards others. Let her be, let God know where she got it. Next time, when you saw that kind of situation, keep in your mind that, "I wanna be like her, she must be a successful women! I am inspired by her. One say I WILL drive that car with my own money" Insya Allah. God will grant you with that wish in order you....

Work you ass off! Don't give up! Create discipline routine everyday. Live a healthy lifestyle. Avoid negative people. Mingle with positive people. Don't forget to ask for God help. To my Muslim readers, Allah always look after you. He is always there waiting for you to call him and ask for His help. Be grateful for the days you are healthy. When you are feeling sick, remember that Allah is calling upon you to ask for forgiveness because there is rezeki waiting for you. Dream. Do it. Pray.

"Jangan bodoh sombong!"

I am not a professional and I am not even calling my self a successful women. Yet. I hope I inspire you guys to be more than ordinary. I have a tons of goals and dreams. I am also on my way changing my bad habits and lifestyle. All I want is to be the person I have dream of. I hope I achieve my dreams and goals next year along with you guys. Promise to ourselves that we can do it. Yes. Insya Allah... All the best! And thank you thank you thank you for your support towards my blog all these years. In 2012 i have been inspire and moved to wards this one issue. Then I started to slowly make my wear there by collecting and searching for the goods. For years I have waited my heart to move, 2013 I will wearing a hijab. My first resolution is done in 2013! Alhamdullilah. I hope I will be a good servant of Islam. Good luck guys! And see you in 2013!!!!

I love you guys.

Hugs and kisses

Well I hope some pictures will give you a brief about how I am so happy with this box.

My package arrive safely. They are all pack and wrapped up nicely with a bubble wrap. I'm super impress. The pink box is a sturdy cardboard box that is absolutely cute. Can you see the details in the box? You can use the box to store stuff and they look perfectly pretty. Everything were pack nicely.

There is a greeting card on the top of the package and a card filled with information of the stuff you will be getting. there are 9 items actually, but randomly you will be getting 6 out of 9 of them base on your interest that you have answered during registration. As far as I am very very happy of what I have got. Under the package there is another surprise A cute makeup bag! I totally love it! It has alot of compartment and the quilt design on the bag is just so cute.

The product that i got are : From Left to Right

Claim to give you a perfect and smooth texture for oily, uneven or problem-prone akin. Kinda like a makeup base. I'm very excited for this as I am looking for a makeup base for my own. The tube that I got is in 12g size. Pretty big amount for a sample and I think it gonna last long.

Its my mom favorite. I have tried it when I got back at my parent house. It exfoliate pretty good. Very gentle but I hate the smell of it. I don't know why.

How to survive long distance relationship.

Sabrina Tajudin December 25, 2012 9 comments

Assalamualaikum and Hello guys! Wow.. want a surprise title eyh? I have something I would love to share, Im not a pro but heres a tips on my past experience. I have been together with my boyfriend for 6 years now. We have been seeing each other since high school. After he finish his high school he had to continue his studies. So it was hard for me at first but it was for the best. We only meet each other once a month and sometimes once every 2 months. The only was to keep us from missing each other is by phone. Getting the right data plan is IMPORTANT! As we are still a student, financial is a crucial issue. So here is where XPAX came along! We contacted every single day to ask about how each of us were doing. Since then I never felt like he was far away from me. I never had to worried about contacted him because the plan we are using allow us to communicate with each other. We don't even have to worry about our bills because all the budget that we have plan goes as planned.

Lets watch below video and let me know what you think.

The diamond illustration on her finger is so cute don't you think? It seems like they lost contact fro 2 weeks. Think positive! There were time where me and my bf fight for some stupid things. It was the time where our other data plan making us fight because our phone line crazily blocked other people to contacted us. Due to misunderstanding, we fight. Because of phone line we fight? Haha. Seems very funny. Problem about long term relationship does not work is because lack of communicating and of course patient and trust. No matter how busy you are, a simple message telling that you miss him/her is important. seems like a trouble for some people but still, rather than you regret something that will be gone for life. At the end of the video the long hair guy named Joe hold her hand. Why? Let me know in the comment below on what you think. What is the ending of this video? Does Nick cheat on her? Dont lose it all! Time to get data Dial *128#

Hugs and kisses

Aromatherapy Synergy Body Oil Memories from Linden Leaves

Sabrina Tajudin December 22, 2012 Leave a Comment

Assalamulaikum & good day everyone!

Just a quick review. I never had a body oil in my life. At first I though it was a massage oil or something, but its not. Its some kind of a body lotion but in a oil kinda form. It smell divine!!! Love the rose smell from his oil. Its a bit greasy but very very moisturizing. You can use it to massage you body too. It will act like a aromatherapy massage oil minus the minty sensation to the body. Its comes very handy in my bag plus! the real rose bud in the bottle is just so pretty! You can get it here. Click my previous post for the shop tour!

The one I'm reviewing is the travel size which retails at : RM98.00. They are available in 4 different scent. Each bottle have its own real plant/flowers infused in it. Its a lil pricey because its the oils are pure oils from the flower/plants extract itself.

"Organic rosehip and avocado oils blended with pure sweet almond and apricot kernel oils, enriched with vitamin E and infused with a luxurious blend of rose, geranium and ylang ylang, to keep skin soft and nourished.

This oil is designed to be used in place of a lotion after a daily shower - massage into warm skin for deep, long-lasting hydration. Also lovely to use as a relaxing massage or bath oil"

Hugs and kisses

Bio Essences Aqua BB Cream Review

Sabrina Tajudin December 19, 2012 16 comments

Lately I find my self using BB cream more often Not in a mood for heavy makeup pile on my face this month. Muehehe. So here is the Review :

Coverage : ★★★★☆

I might say its a light to medium coverage. Its buildable. Leaves your skin dewy and its a semi translucent finish. The color is pretty grayish but it soak up and leaves a natural finish after a few minuted. If you want to wear it alone with no powders, your face looks very dewy.

Texture : ★★★★☆

Very liquid-y texture. Very runny when you squeeze it out from the tube. But very easy to blend. I use my fingers to warm it up on my fingers and spread it out easily.

Packaging : ★★★★☆

Nothing special, but when it comes in a tube form, its very hygienic and easy.

Price : ★★★★☆

Pretty affordable but a lil pricey for some people. I might say RM60+ is expensive. But its a promise BB Cream. Last for 5 hours.

Availability : ★★★★☆

Available at all participating pharmacies that carries Bio Essences product such as Watson, Gurdian and Jusco Wellness.

Overall : ★★★★☆

4 stars for all eyh. I kinda love this but its not a holy grail product. Would recommend this to people who love light weight makeup with benefits and a lil coverage. Fair to medium skin tone might find this a perfect match.

What's the lightest BB Cream you ever tried?

Hugs & Kisses

The Best in One Box.

Sabrina Tajudin December 18, 2012 11 comments

Assalamualaikum & Hello everyone! I have something great to share! I discover a new subscription box that I think a hit! I search some reviews and everything. Surprisingly I'm excited. They included the Top name brand like SK-II, OPI, Dior, Astalift, Majolica Majorca, Philosophy, ORIGINS! and many many more. The price is quite pricey but since the product you'll be receiving is from a well known brand. Well to my opinion, I have this feeling of not going to high end counters because most of the Sales girls always give you this peer pressure of buying product instantly Its my pet peeves I hate it, they something don't even know the use of it, because they are mainly looking for sales. So why not receive a high end brand and try it at home at a nice round up price? What attracts me more is the theme every month that they created Below are the past month theme that have been done by them.

I'm getting the February Box. Pretty excited! I'm really hopping for the best! Actually I would love beauty subscription box to filled with more makeup rather than skincare. It really hard to include new skincare every month when you have a skincare routine that you are comfortable with. Ok. Lets wait and wait for it! Excited! The price are as below for references.

February 2013 box are available for subscription!

Naruko Skincare Haul - Unboxing

Sabrina Tajudin December 16, 2012 14 comments

Assalamulaikum! Hello everyone! <3 I got a small haul here! Recently I shopped at Naruko Malaysia Online Shop to get some stuff for myself. I have been eyeing on some stuff in the Naruko website for a very long time. Been saving up for these babies. After a few research on what should I get. I decide my mind. It wasn't easy. There were so many product in the website and most of it are written in Chinese. :( Pretty sad. Although its a Malaysia website. The Facebook Page for the official Naruko Malaysia website are also updated in Chinese. They are available at Watson. But only certain sets are on the shelves and to be honest its quite hard to choose because of their box packaging are pretty similar! So that is when I decided to just buy online. Easy for me to search some information.

What I can say about shopping with Naruko Malaysia Website is :

Customer Service : ★★★★★

Emailed them for some product inquiry and they reply promptly. Explain everything in detail and clear. Very professional. I ordered my purchase around Thursday night, made the payment using bank transfer immediately. The next day in the afternoon, my package was shipped. Surprisingly I got my purchase on Saturday afternoon. Super Fast! LOVE! My package comes in a small cute box and they all are in good shape. I am super impress with it. Oh! Not to mention! I don't pay the shipping at all! Its free because I spend RM100 and above. I recommend this online shop!

Hello there lovely beauty items, Im gonna use you ! Muehehehehehe! (Arrgggghhhhh!!!!)

I bought Rose & Botanic HA Aqua Cubic Foaming Wash EX(CO) , Rose & Snow Fungus Aqua Cubic Complex, and the Rose & Snow Fungus Night Gelly.

Will review it soon, cant promise. I am actually try to buy skincare product by time to time. Its a beauty haul with a mission! Keep on visiting to find out more! <3

Hugs and kisses

Ray Magazine (English Edition) Dec 2012 Highlights

Sabrina Tajudin December 15, 2012 14 comments

This month cover girl : Erika Mori

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to you guys! Ray magazine came up late this month, I have my hand on this month magazine after 1 week December start. Been searching for it at every magazine store, but could not find one. As you all know I am a huge fan of Ray Magazine especially when they have this English version! Now I can read. Haha. The last time I bought Korean/Japaneses/Taiwan magazine, I only browse their pictures and gestures in the picture to understand. Hewhew. I love this type of magazine because it have lots of beauty, fashion and shopping information rather than some info that keep on repeating the same time over and over again and overload ads. its sucks. I am not a K-Pop fan, but I really like how they appreciate beauty and their beauty and fashion style are soft and feminine. Let get on with the highlights! As you can see I have a new categories labels for my blog post. Do check them out! A lot of plan going up next year!

This month star highlight is no other Karina! I have seen her alot in other magazine. Since its the holiday season and some countries are raining snowflakes, most fashion highlight are focus on winter clothing. Trench Coat style! I love trench coat, the only problem is I dont know when I will wear it since we dont have 4 season here in Malaysia. Hehe. Probably wear it when I have a chance to go to a 4 season country right. Amin!

My favorite part about Ray Magazine is their How to/Tutorial section. from hair to makeup. This month hair tutorial is more of a soft festive look, Brunette hair really make a face look innocent. Hm..

Makeup tutorials! Festive looks and other subtle party look you can try!

My favorite part was the Basic Care of acne! They cover up to 3 pages from how to balace out your hormone level, types of acne, the T Zone care, Cheek care, Period Care and body acne care. From tips to trick and product recommendation!

Dolly wink product highlight! Argh! When can I have these! They are so expensive! But cute! <3

Need Christmas gift idea for your lovely ones? They have it all right here! Look at the Sephora Blockbuster Makeup Set! Droll! <3

Lastly, I cam across the last page. Etude House make a massive nice promotion you can check out. Look at that makeup bag. Pretty cute!
Purchase RM120 above and get the limited edition pouch
Purchase RM200 above and get Moist full Aloe Skincare Kit + Limited Edition Pouch
Purchase RM300 above and get the pouch + traveling bag + moist full aloe skincare kit

My rate for this month Ray Magazine : ★★★★☆

Happy Reading everyone! Grab yours now! <3

You can get it at : myNEWS.com, Newsplus, MPH, Borders & Kinokuniya

Hugs and kisses

Sabrina
