Colors Cosmetics Malaysia Flat Top Foundation Brush Review

Sabrina Tajudin September 29, 2014 26 comments

We are small but cute aren't we? Most Asian comes in small sizes. Wehuu. Our average size are below 5 feet. We need smaller things to fit our cuteness. Hehe. So yes, I bet you all have know about the makeup brush from our home grown brand, Color Cosmetics Malaysia. An awesome webstore selling tons of awesome makeup products. From NYX, Sigma, Tarte, nars and many more. Offering a Free Shipping with purchase up to RM150.00. So they have relaunch their best selling item that is the Flat Top Foundation Brush and thank you to them I got to try it for my self before the launching date which is on 30 September tomorrow! I have been using it quite frequently, and I will let you know about it below!

What I like about it. I never thought a short handle can be really make a difference when applying makeup. The bristle is super similar to the Sigma F80. I own that brush so I can tell! The bristle are made from synthetic material, which means no animal hair we use. So don't worry my fellow sister. What I like about it it is easy to carry and how the handle feels firm when holding it making my application easy and accurate. The price are also reasonable and love how they improve on the look of the brush. From what I can remember, the old one comes with a sticker. I find that looks tacky. now,the logo is engraved on the wood handle which I find super sleek! Love it! The bristle are dense and super soft! Also to mention that it is super easy to clean.
What I don't like about it. So far, I have been loving this brush, but short handle can be accurate but sometimes I find it is more tiring than the longer handle. I don't know why. But it is still workable.
Overall & Recommendation. If you are looking for a brush to apply your favorite liquid foundation, you should own this! It buff into your skin nicely and leave your makeup application seamlessly and stay longer. The short handle are also good to be work with your clients if you are a makeup artist.

Lofa Lens in Gorgeous Pink Review

Sabrina Tajudin September 26, 2014 6 comments

Lofa Lens! Yep yep. The new "it" thing from Neelofa. Neelofa is an actress, TV host and an entrepreneur. Frankly speaking, I was not a fan of her at first maybe because of the drama all these people talking about. Geezz why would I listen to people gossiping! I hate myself for that. But till now I am so inspire by her. She is a freaking awesome business women who never give chances to loose any opportunity she has got. She has her own clothing, collagen drink if I am not mistaken and now contact lens! So I was driven by the influence all around me and then I saw my friend selling it, I said to my self. Why not I give it a try. So after a few days of making my decision on what color I want, haha. I choose the lens in the style Gorgeous Pink. I wanna try something different from the normal grey and brown neutral shades that i usually got. So here it it! Let me tell you what I think about it.

What I like about it. Ok let me get this straight. I love how she takes the effort to make that kind of packaging. A self illustrated barbie like girl on the front with those pink stripes. How cute is that! Also the lens does not comes in that "glass" jar usually circle lens come from. It comes in a case that looks pretty professional and also easy for me to open it up. i usually get cuts from opening circle lens glass bottle. It super comfortable and it does not look weird at all! You know the ones that look super fake and mata macam alien. But if you look closely it looks weird lah. Here is a selfie wearing this lens - http://instagram.com/p/tJwAN9Myx8

What I don't like about it. So far, I pretty much loving it! But the price is a bit pricey to my opinion. Since it is a 1 month disposal lens.

Overall & Recommendation. I recommend this to everyone! Although the black lining outside of the lens seems a bit too over the top ( to my opinion at first ), the black lining actually going to give you a more natural looking color to your eye. It seems Neelofa knows what she is doing, and these lens are suitable for our most Asian eye color. Looking forward to try Celebrity Brown and Innocent Blue! Love it! Okay, need to start continue my packing. I am going to have my convocation tomorrow!!!

Name : Lofa Lens in Gorgeous Pink
Price : RM 69.00

5 Life Lesson you can get from YouTube

Sabrina Tajudin September 15, 2014 8 comments

Its Monday and I am so pumped up for the new week. I am in a mood for some motivational post. I like this kind of stuff. I love reading about it and I like to search about it. I love reading stories about successful people who I can relate. I can say that I can be super negative sometimes and I truly regret it every moment of it. I actually love being positive. Although sometimes I can be a real ***** for some situations I can't control. So I am an avid YouTube viewers. I have 3 different account before because of changing my username. Haha. Youtube have so many life lesson to my opinion. YouTube also teach me so many stuff that I wanted to learn. I can't afford to go to art school, and there is these YouTube people love to show tutorial videos online and have helped me a lot. I also have a passion and dream to inspire people in a way that they can be more than they expected. I always believe in that. I don't really like normal life. That is me. Really. I really want especially young girls to be more than they can imagine. Be amazing. Be a passionate fulfilled person. I hope this short blogpost will give you a pumped up start for this new week!

1. Even how good you are, there are still going to be haters.

When you watch video, you probably going to notice the like "bar". No matter how good the video is, how matter how positive the video can be, how matter awesome the video can be. There is still a 'thumbs down". So that is life. How good you are, how you does not disturb people's life, you are still going to get a "dislike". So calm down. Don't panic, don't be sad. Its normal. People are just gonna hate. There is always someone who just love to write in hate comments. Because they choose to be negative. Remember that. There is no one in this world can satisfy everyone. Not even a prophet. But if you look properly, which is the most button clicked? Thumbs up right? So yes there are still going to be haters, but, haters are just a small portion in life that we just need to ignore. There is no failure but feedback.

2. Believe in yourself and you never know what future holds for you.

Watching Draw my Life videos gives me so much good example. Most of the successful YouTubers does not really comes from a good past. They just doing what they love and believe in. And look at them now. They are freaking successful. You never know what future holds for you. You never know where your talent can bring you. When they starter, 0 views are nothing to them. They just keep doing what they love and what they believe in. Now? They are just amazing so are you.

3. There is no such thing as a perfect life.

YouTube videos are made from real people. Real people with life. Especially when watching Vlogs. As you can see there are always curses came out from the mouth. They are real people with real life. Messy room, messy hair, uneven makeup sometimes. There are always things does not going as planned. But being positive is the key. There is always a little breakdown in life. There is no such thing as a straight perfect life. There is no happy ending. There is only a rocky road for you to go through in the most positive way.

4. We all have different views.

This is one of a topic we need to remember. We always have disagreement about something. Take an example of the comments you can read in each YouTube videos. There are always people fighting, trying to get people think what they want others to believe what they believe. Remember. Not everyone have the same cup of tea as you. Don't go over people life's and tell them what to do. Yes, even in religious views. Prophet Muhammad also does not practice forcing method. He does not go on all people lives and force them to believe in Islam. He does not embarrassed other people for his own belief. He practice to himself and make an example to people who wanted to see. This is just and example okay. Some goes to a basic life stuff. You like orange, and when people does not like orange, you bashed them, Remember that everyone have different views. So respect each and one another and let them decide.

5. Past does not define you.

Abused? Bullied? No friends? Ditched? That is only an event. Not a life time problem. Do not blame what happen to you in the past and blame people for what you are right now. There is no failure, but feedback. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone have dark past or stuff that they wish they did not do. What you need to do is, repent to all of the mistakes and start to be better. For things to change, yourself have to change. Not the people around you. Starting from today, be awesome. Cause you already are, and your life need YOU to make it happen. Take the past as a lesson, for you to be amazing.

Sincerely,

I love you, Sabrina.

Sigma 5th Year Anniversary | Luxola

Sabrina Tajudin September 10, 2014 12 comments

Hey hey. All I can say is I love Sigma Brushes. I have been around loving their products since it became a most raved topic in YouTube. When they first started, getting my hands on their brushes are such a trouble. It is shipped internationally and problems may occur. Sigma is a USA brand that carries wide variety of make-up brushes. They are high quality and comparable to the high ends ones. So luckily Luxola are offering Sigma products in their web store with affordable price and what more great about it is Free Shipping if you spend RM40.00 & above.

My parcel is package in a bubble wrap envelope. The brushes came with the Sigma Box. I still remember back then where it was packed with the organza bag. Improvement! Can't stop starring at the beauty of the rose gold ferrule!

The items I got here are the holy grail best foundation brush ever which is the F80 Flat Top Kabuki in copper ferrule with a "5th Year Anniversary" engraved text on the handle, E21 Smudge Copper, E10 Small Eye Liner Copper & Sigma Gel Eye Liner in Unexpected. When you purchase any item from Luxola, your items will always be wrapped nicely. I love it! Back to the brushes. Actually I have own the F80 before, back in 2009. But then I did not take care of the brushes well, so I actually damage the whole bristles. Then I repurchase it again in the standard silver ferrule. It is one of the best foundation brush I ever use. Getting my hands on the Copper edition is a bonus! I love how it looks like and would be a nice back up for me if I did have the time to clean my Silver F80. The other two brushes I got are eye brushes.

The smudge brush is an excellent brush for applying eye shadow in the inner corner of your lid. It does not feels flimsy and all over the paces. It is firm and give you precise smudging on that area. The other one is an eye-liner brush. Great to be use with gel liner like the one I got here! The shade is called unexpected and it is a matte grey shade eye-liner. Can be use as an eye-shadow base and of course eye-liner!

Mark & Spencer in Komtar, JBCC

Sabrina Tajudin September 8, 2014 14 comments

If you all know that I have move back to Johor Bahru. My hometown is in Johor. So moving back to Johor has been very exciting for me although I do feel a bit sad of leaving those awesome opportunity and especially not to be able to meet my lovely blogger friends. If you know me back there, I just want to say I miss you guys so much! You guys know who you are! Moving back to Johor have been so great so far. I got a day job now (the reason behind lack of posting), I just got my driving license! Wohoo! And many new things to explore here. The best part is got to be to have my own room and be around with my cats and parents. Hehe. So back to the topic, I don't normally blog about press kit but this press kit I got I feel quite interesting. I felt so lucky because as I move back to Johor, there were so many new things develop here in Johor. So many new shopping malls, cool spot to hang out and many other attractions.

One of the best thing that happen is this. Which is a new shopping mall open in Johor. It is located beside City Square JB. Orang2 JB mesti tau port ni. Hahahaha. Zaman cinta monyet selalu pergi sini. :P So JBCC were actually build up from the old shopping mall called Komtar. There renovate the whole building and relaunch the shopping mall to JBCC. I have been there and there were a few shops open which is like Sephora (scream), Pandora, Dora the explore.. No I'm just kidding on the Dora part. But basically what I can say about JBCC is that they are targeting to be like KLCC because there are many high end brands open in there. One of them is this. that I thing one of the main attraction of JBCC would be the Mark & Spencer. When I visited JBCC, Mark & Spencer were still renovating. But now I am going to tell you that, is is finally open! *pops confetti*

The picture I got here is from the press release send to me. As you can see Mark & Spencer have variety of department in there. I am excited about the Food Hall & Beauty Department of course! They offers wide variety of items such as Women's clothing, Men's Wear, Office Wear, Food (love the packaging) and Beauty Department. Bath Products! I love their Talc product because I am a powder person. Haha.

Any Johorean here? Are you excited about the Mark& Spencer opening in Johor? Mark & Spencer Johor Bahru is located on Ground Floor just beside Sephora. And Sephora is beside (going to open) Bath & Body Works. So this means I am going to be broke. Oh yeay. Yay me on my "Saving Resolution" this year *rolls eyes*. Who cares HAHAHAHAHAHA. Ok. I should stop now.

Otterbox Symmetry Case Review

Sabrina Tajudin September 7, 2014 5 comments

Iphone cases. I can go crazy for it. Its like pampering your one and only most favorite things in the world. Just like iiSuperwomenii said in her video that we all have relationship with our phone. Haha. So this time around I have been loving this case. It is the NEW Otterbox phone cases which is the Symmetry Series. It features a ultra slim, stylish, pocket-friendly design. Compare to the previous Otterbox case that I got, I am much prefer this. It does not feel bulky and of curse it is super stylish! If you are new to this brand just to let you know that Otterbox is a well know company that produce heavy duty protection case for electronic devices.. They have many range of phone cases series and every series is design for each different users with different needs. Let me get down to the details.

For me the main attraction of this case is that how stylish it looks on your phone as well as at the same time it gives you this super duper protection to your phone. To a very clumsy person like me, this is a must have case for my phone. It wraps around my phone firmly and I just love love love the design on the case. Just to let you know they have in so many design to choose from. Super pretty I promise you would love it. The case it self is not like any other cases you may seem to find around. Its dual material absorb shock and withstands drops. The edge is curves and really protect your phone from within. As you can see it has a bit if beveled edges on the front which helps to protect your front screen from touching the surface. I can just throw my phone in my bag without worrying about it. Oh and yes, I have dropped my phone a few times and it did cause any damage. I dropped it on the road if you ask! Think about if I don;t have this case with me. Phew.

Oh not to mention, this case available for Samsung, HTC, LG & many more. If you are a person who put safety first to your phone as well as wanna look stylish, I really recommend this cases. Although the price is a bit expensive to my opinion but take note about repairing your phone. I 've been there! I was charge RM350 for my cracked screen. Urgh! The Otterbox Symmetry Series cases retails fro RM149 (solid colors) and RM169 (graphic design). Now I am eyeing on the Preserver Series! It protect your phone from water! How cool is that aaaaaa!
