Beauty Haul | October

October goes by so fast! This weekend is gonna be November! 2 more months and it's the end of 2014! I'm so not ready for 2015 as I only crossed few things on my 2014 to-do list! Oh, well, let's not go further into that. Let me do you a favour and spare you from 2 hours of reading. 

Anyway, today I'm going to share with you guys about some items that I bought throughout this month. I'm really sorry as I haven't done much review lately as I've been occupied with uni, extra Japanese language lessons, practicing my drawing, and of course, keeping up with beauty trends among Korean women. Yes, I mean watching Get It Beauty. 

But first, let's go to Etude House. 

I bet all girls wanna be a princess at some point in life and for me... if I have to be honest, I gotta say... only during the time when I watch Cinderella. That means when I was 11. I know. I grew up with 2 brothers and never had girly BFFs not until I hit my 20s. But then, when I saw the Princess Etoinette Season 2 launched in Korea for Winter 2013, I couldn't bring myself and say to no these babies when they're on Sweeties Club October promotion! So I got myself the Princess Etoinette All Over Powder, Crystal Shine Lips in PBE102 Moon Flower Under the Stars (wish came true!!) and the lovely Mirror. 

Still Here.

..... Just busier! Hehe hello, guys!!

I'm so sorry for the unannounced temporary hiatus! I got some messages in my Facebook page inbox, asking whether I'm still blogging or not! Haha chill out~ it's just that I went back to my hometown in Sabah for 2 weeks and I just got back in KL last Monday. There was no I should say, proper internet connection at home as it's been about a month since the raining season had started so the connections at home aren't really that stable so I couldn't update my blog even though I had some free time on my hands that time.

Anyway, how's life? Next week is gonna be the 6th week since the new academic year had started so we're getting nearer to mid semester exams.. So I guess I won't be around here that much.

But still! I got some posts lined up to be drafted already but my desktop is at a friend's place, waiting to be formatted so hopefully when I'm done editing some photos, I would be able to do some reviews and hauls posts!

Speaking of haul posts, oh dear! The past and current month is about makeup mostly but as I haven't finished doing some research on some items, and a friend of mine is going to introduce me to the new (to me at least) world of foundation, I haven't done with shopping actually. Hehe.

But of course, speaking about makeup, one question popped into my head this morning that I'm about to venture a journey on the brands of Western Hemisphere so yeah. There might be some change of directions of this blog soon but to those of you who follow this blog solely because of Korean product reviews, fret not as I'm still fully using Korean skincare products so hopefully we can continue sharing awesome tips in the future.

So yeah, I think that's all for now. I'm definitely still not used to blogging on my iPhone even after more than 6 years. LOL

I'll see you guys soon!

XOXO, Mira. 

Beauty Haul | September

Finally I can sit down and write a post! Been super busy lately with the early-scheduled mid semester break coming next week and I haven't pack a thing!  Also, I finally bought some stuffs from TheFaceShop! I haven't been to the store since the Flagship Store Opening at Pavilion KL last June so I'm actually excited to see new products coming to Malaysian store! The White Seed skincare line which is something that I've been looking forward to has finally arrived and did you guys check out the Aura CC Cream that comes in limited edition case with Kim Soohyun signature on it? Though it's only available for shade No. 2 i.e. Natural Beige. 

Though I'm not really big on eye makeup, I decided to get these pretty babies as I literally have only light and dark brown for eye shadows. As I tried them at the store, I love the pigmentation so I got the colours that matched my drapes... kidding!! My Baju Kurung i.e. traditional Malay 2-piece dress that I would normally wear to lectures. 

Top:

     Lovely ME:EX You & Eyes #03 Peach Kissed

     Lovely ME:EX You & Eyes #07 Party Purple

     Lovely ME:EX You & Eyes #06 Authentic Green

Bottom:

     Lovely ME:EX You & Eyes #21 Creamy Peach

     Lovely ME:EX You & Eyes #04 Brownie

     Lovely ME:EX You & Eyes #16 Purple Dance

Well, the above colours matched like 4 of my Baju Kurungs so I most probably gonna hunt for more. 

Review: TheFaceShop Baby Leaf Green Tea Waterfull Emulsion

Annyeong, lovelies!! How was your weekend? Finally got some work done before I can sit down and do some product review! hehe

Today I'll be reviewing another sister product of the toner and the serum that I reviewed before, which is the Baby Leaf Green Tea Waterfull Emulsion from none other than TheFaceShop!

The right one! There are indeed only 3 products in this skincare line.

Review: TheFaceShop Baby Leaf Green Tea Waterfull Serum

Hello, lovely people! Phew! I just had a long day today as I was trying to sort out things in my room all day. Yeah, let me emphasize on the 'trying' part. 

Anyway, today I decided to do another review, following the one that I posted last week, which is this Baby Leaf Green Tea Waterfull Serum from TheFaceShop.

Beauty Empties 5.0 | September

Annyeong! Wah~ Finally I could do an Empties post! hehe only once in 3 months, that's why. I think this quarter of the year, I finished lots of items which is good I guess. But we all know what that means. Making room for new products! hehe

So yeah, first, let's go to body products. 

Review: TheFaceShop Baby Leaf Green Tea Oil-Free Toner

Annyeong, lovelies! :D How's your week so far? Are you excited for the weekend? I am! As I'm going to do some shopping for 'Back to Uni". Yes, new semester gonna start next week and of course I'm really excited to start a new academic year. 

Anyway, today I'm going to review a product from TheFaceShop which is this Oil-Free Toner from the Baby Leaf Green Tea skincare line. 

Of Exam and Holiday Trip to Singapore

Hello! It's been awhile since my last post as I've been busy with exam week and preparing for my surprise trip to visit my BFF in Singapore. She graduated for about 2 years now and since that, we kinda separated as she went back to SG while I'm staying here in my beloved country, Malaysia. BTW, to fellow Malaysian readers, Happy 57th Independence Day!

Anyway, to those of you who are like me and on your last week of your semester break, hope you enjoy it to the last minute. 

Be safe, and I'll see you guys on the next post~ annyeong!

Beauty Haul | August

A friend of mine who's a big fan of Western brands has introduced me to the new world (for me) called Sephora and along with that, she also helped me in discovering some items in drugstore that I usually just walked passed by as I was only a fan of Maybelline.

Introducing the Bourjois Paris, a brand originated from France that has recently hit Watsons Malaysia. I read reviews by local beauty bloggers and few of them even admitted that the foundation from this brand is one of the first foundation they actually finished quickly and get the second (even third) bottle right after they finished the first one. I tried this once using my friend's and quickly fall in love with it! For the past year I've been focusing on Korean makeups that usually give me light to medium coverage but now I'm thinking of expanding my interest on foundations as I gotta admit, though my Spot Treatment products are working their way into my skin, there are days I just want to cover up all the things I hate on my skin. For a start, I got myself that Healthy Mix Foundation in #55 Dark Beige, Healthy Mix Correcting Concealer in #53 Dark Radiance, Healthy Balance Unifying Powder in #55 Dark Beige, and Blush in #74 Rose Amber. I really hope the first impression of these products gonna last. 

Thanks to her again, I got introduced to Real Techniques makeup brushes.

Review: Etude House Skin Mal:Geum Fresh Toner

Lovelies, annyeong! :D Enjoying your week so far?

After reading +Mieza Everdeen  post today, I remembered that I haven't review three products that are sister products to one of the product she reviewed in that post and hence, I'm going to review this Skin Mal:Geum Fresh toner from Etude House.

Green! looks refreshing isn't it?
