Sabrina Tajudin April 26, 2013 7 comments

Assalamualaikum & hello ladies!

One of my resolution for this year is to wear sunscreen! Am i kidding? Not at all! yes! I admit it that i have neglected my skin to open UV rays. No no! not good! Sun screen is very very important. You have to wear it because the harmful UV rays that "attacked" your skin everyday can cause you skin cancer. Wanna know more about sunscreen, i got it covered here - click me.

When it come to sunscreen, i love a sunscreen that gives 100% protection, feel comfortable on the skin and does not leave a white cast on the face. YES! I found one, that is the Shiseido Perfect UV Protector 360°. What I love about this sunscreen is, it is easy to apply, not thick at all. Feels light on the skin and the most importantly, does not leave a white cast. It is really easy to apply, the texture of the liquid is very runny. The scent of this product is just like the usual sunscreen scent.

What is claims to be is this Perfect UV Protector SPF50+ PA++++ is a very water-resistant sun protection lotion that provides reliable defense against UV rays while offering advance skincare benefits. Ideals for face and body and especially formulated for strong sunlight conditions.

The special about this sunscreen is, it is water resistance. Totally recommend to you girls out there who wanted to go swimming during the hot day. Protect your skin girls! hey, and you boys out there too ok? Retails for RM130 in West Malaysia and RM135 in East Malaysia at any Shiseido beauty counter.

Naruko Rose & Snow Fungus Night Jelly Review

Sabrina Tajudin April 21, 2013 6 comments

Assalamualaikum & hello everyone!

I came across Naruko website last year and went a lil shopping in there. I bought the a cleanser, a serum and this Night Gelly mainly from the Rose Series. I am really excited for the Night Gelly range. So I bought this one, it is called the Rose & Snow Fungus Night Gelly. Claims to improve fine lines, dry skin adn large pores. Mainly it is recommend to use during the night. Kinda like a sleeping mask to me. JaaackJack a beauty guru from YouTube sometimes use this during the day when winters coming. She said that this "Gelly" give her an extra boost of moisturizing. Can't argue with that. Yes, this moisturizer is super moisturizing.

You can feel you skin a lil bouncy and moisturizing in the morning! My pores are also smooth especially the skin between my nose. This may be a downside to some people, the texture is thick and sticky. I always apply this last after toner and serum. If I slept in an air condition room, this moisturizer help my skin not to dry out.

Sometimes I love to put in the fridge for a few minutes and apply it. It is very very cooling and nice on the skin! But when you press your palm on your cheeks, you can feel the moisturizer is sticky kind of way and sometimes I felt uncomfortable during sleeping knowing there something thick on my skin. It also have a mild rose scent to it. Oh yes, it came with the black spatula you can see on the picture. Pretty handy but I always misplace it. So usually I use a cotton swab/cotton bud to scoop the product out and apply it using my fingers.

I recommend this moisturize or sleeping mask from my opinion to those who have dry skin. Give it a try if you are interested, I bought it here http://www.naruko.com.my/shop/ - at RM32.00

Have you tried their Night Gelly? Or what night moisturizer you are currently using?

Hugs and kisses

Revlon Photoready Concealer 004 Medium Review

Sabrina Tajudin April 18, 2013 6 comments

Assalamualaikum & hello ladies!

Love and hate towards this product. I would not say I don't like it but I keep reaching for it. It cost around RM35+. The shades available are only 3. I bought it at Watsons. It blends easily but you kinda need more to cover spots that are very visible. But its pretty handy when it comes to cover your under eye. The downside of this product is its lasting. It does not last long and since its pretty handy I always bought this along when I'm going outside and comes pretty handy for touch ups. Its very light weight and kinda moisturize too. I love this product but may not repurchase it because it finish up fast and the price is not suitable for me.

The best part of this product is that its pretty handy. The packaging is similar to a lipstick. How do I describe this. Hm.. The consistency is pretty similar to cream foundation actually. If you are looking for ONLY a under eye concealer that is easy to blend, well, you got to try this.

Sleek Ultra Matts V2 Review

Sabrina Tajudin April 15, 2013 14 comments

Assalamualaikum & hello everyone!

After months of trying this palette now I present you the review and thought of this palette. I got this palette from UK. She was on holiday so I manage to ask her to help me buy this palette. Thank you dear friend. :) You can get this in many online shop now days or just order it straight from their official website. It will cost you around RM50 and below.Why I wanted this palette so much is because of the mattes color offered in this palette. All of the eye shadows in this palette are mattes. Since I have so many shimmery glittery eyeshadow, I wanted something to tone it down a little.

Lets talk about the packaging, the packaging is a matte type of plastic that catches dirt easily. I don't like that but its ok. The size of the palette is "just nice". Easy to travel with I predict. As when you open it, you can see a mirror in there. Pretty handy. The size of each circle are pretty similar to the new 50 cent coin (Malaysia) but a lil smaller. Just a lil.

At first impression I was quite disappointing with the quality. Its very hard to swatch. But after a while it is not what I thought about. I think when I first swatch it, well, its pretty brand new right, so the surface is kinda very hard to swatch. How do I explain this? I hope you understand. So what I can say is, YES! The pigmentation is super super super pigmented! Smooth and all you need is a just a little! Work so well with brush compare to fingers. Last long too! Does not fade and crease.

I am not satisfied with my picture quality, it looks like the color is not vibrant at all. It is actually very-very vibrant. The little downside of this palette is that it is a lil chalky, I warn you! So better be careful and try to cover your under eye with tissue or something when applying it.

My favorite shade would be Ink, Noir, Paper Bag and Villan!

I totally recommend this palette to mattes lover out there!

Hugs and kisses

Sabrina

Best iPhone Cases Design

Sabrina Tajudin April 12, 2013 4 comments

**all images are credit to Society6

Assaalamualaikum & hello everyone!

Some of you wonder why there is and "art" at the end of my url. That is pronounced as by-sab-ri-na-art actually. Well, I am a big fan of artistic stuff. Since I was a kid, crayons and coloring book were my best friend. I adore artistic pictures and love to draw. I once have a time lapse painting video in my YouTube but I deleted it because I was not wearing hijab in that video so i have to delete it. I have a planning on making more in the future. But not for now because I am super busy with studies, and really cant wait to finish it this year.

Well, I don't have an iPhone but planning to have one soon. In sya Allah... One thing I adore having an iPhone is the way that you can "dress up" your phone. The variety of cases choices for iPhone is unbelievable. I am going to share with you guys one of my favorite browsing website when I want to get that "inspiration" to draw and illustrate. Well, it is called Society6. It is not mainly a iPhone case shop. Basically its a shop customize from different graphic designer and made it into another form of product like pillows, books and stretched canvas art. One of the most popular product gotta be the iPhone cases.

The price is a lil high for my opinion. 35 US Dollar for each case approx RM112+ for each cases. But what catches my eyes is the design for it. You can see the review from lostandfawed (CLICK HERE) and Frommygreydesk (CLICK HERE) for the product review. From what I can see in the picture is they look pretty good. Vibrant color and look 100% the same as the picture shown in the website.

I do recommend this shop to whoever out there is enthusiasm about art like me. I really love all of the design in that website. Oh how I can't wait to finish this year! I want to start painting again!

Hugs and kisses

White Space Inspiration

Sabrina Tajudin April 11, 2013 2 comments

Assalamualaikum & hello everyone!

If you have been reading my blog you guys know I am addicted to Pinterest. Pinning all the stuff i love and just killing time with it. I found Pinterest is a nice place to chill and get a lot of inspiration. One of the favorite part of searching through Pinterest is looking through room inspirations. When it comes to room inspirations I love wood flooring! You bet! I would love to have wood flooring in my future house. Although i love colors especially pinks and glitters, i always coming back to the basic, WHITE. I am a person who hate dark places and love love love sunlight. I love bright places.

My dream is to have a own closet / office room of my own. A walk in wardrobe with a lil office space for me. I am a home person, and I would love to have a job of my own by just having to be in my room for the whole day. Above is some inspiration picture I would love to have for my closet/office room. Yes, an iMac would be a pleasure to have! Big mirrors and a big wide windows brights up the place. When it comes to choose a house in the future, windows is a big issue for me. Important. A DIY clothes hanger would be nice as a start, Ikea PAX wardrobe would be a wishlist when I have extra money. Check out my Pinterest if you are interested!

Do you have a dream space that you would love to have in your home? What is that?

1. Perkins Nail Wrap | RM39.90 (20 strips)

Full size product! This kind of product is very new to meet. I get the one in this gorgeous flowery vintage design that I really like! The only problem is I think this nail art is suitable for people with have long nails, I still can’t figure out how to use it with my short nails. Hehe. But its kinda fun! Perkins Nail Wrap offers 21 glamorous designs to be choose design uniquely from Korea. This method is different from the old fashion nail lacquer technique that require drying time, this is kinda like a sticker that wrap up your nails and look like a real nail polish that already have it own unique design to it.

2. Oriks Gemstone Nano Plantinum Aqua Watery Cream | RM398 (50g)

Another product from Oriks since VT Trove arrives in Malaysia.

Another full size product! Yeah! I am very happy because it’s a makeup product! The color I got are also pretty nice and versatile. It retails for RM49 with actually cost the whole box of VT. So I think it really worth it! It claims to be a great eye shadow quad for beginners and comes in 8 different hues. The quality if this eyeshadow is excellent, smooth and velvety!

Contains Trans-Luminescent complex, it has the ability to revive your skin’s micro-mirrors at every layer so that your skin appears clear and radiant. The sample contains 7 pack of sachet. Which a trial pack for a week. That is a pretty nice sample that you can actually use within a nice period of time to see the result. I am excited for this one because I heard Clarins is a good skincare brand too.

Assalamualaikum & hello ladies!

Its April! No joke! So let's move on to my Monthly Favorites!!!

I never tried vitamin B cream. So this is fairly new to me. Got this from hava.my. They have alot of Vitamin cream range in their website. Go check them out.

One of my first purchase from RealTechniques! I love this brush so much! If you want a soft not so visible blush effect this brush is the one! Not suitable for contoring tho but yes to natural finish blush! Super soft and fluffy I am going to... Ok , I just love this brush!

Love how its lengthen and separate my lash nicely. The downside is, it is hard to remove but I still like it because how it makes my lash stand out nicely.
