Abandon Feeds!

Nah. I'm not abandoning my blog. =) Just...

busy..... if you catch what I mean (points above ^^).

Got busy with many changes, so I haven't really got the mood to blog. Sorry blog. =(

Anyway, after all these "hoo-haa event" ends, I'll make sure I'll get the post running.

Last but not least, I'll disclose only one pic for your eyes, only! (if you still don't get what I mean). <3

Til then!

The Moisture Monitor (or the "Pen") 數字式肌膚水分測試儀

How'dy~ :)

I got a few mails asking about the "pen" that I used in my previous posts here and here.

Being a "kay-po-chee" (busybody) like me, here's some info that I can gather for you people out there. xD

The promo pic of this moisture monitor (couldn't found any in English, sorry!!):

The Moisture Monitor that measures your skin moisture level :)

It sure does look like fatter version of marker pen. xD

Parts and bits of it.


The little "scanner".


The results monitor.


It uses AAA batteries by the way. :)


I believe this pen is made in China. Anyway, here's some info from fio. ;)

使用人体皮肤水份测试仪对肌肤科学精细护理的意义：
在科技飞速发展的今天，虽然市场上提供了大量优质化妆品和保健产品供人们美容使用，但随着人们要求的不断提高，美容要借助各类仪器才能做得更加完美，人体皮肤水份测试仪就是其中之一，在发达国家这种仪器就已经摆在了超市的货架上，开始走进千家万户，并且逐渐成为时尚。这是因为有如下几方面的意义和作用：

1）量化了肌肤与水。皮肤水份量实现了数字化，可以准确测出角质层水份含量，使使用者对自己的皮肤水份情况有数值的认识。
2）精细护理。当经验感觉和观察不能判断皮肤是否缺水及到底缺水多少时，可根据测试结果判断，尤其是在水份正常值偏低时及时补水，从不缺水的皮肤是有效延缓衰老的保证。
3）通过测试，可以正确选择适合自己皮肤特点的化妆品，做到经济美容、科学美容。
4）水份是一切营养补充的前提。水是人体的组成部分，只要有水份补充，人至少可以维持三天不吃东西。皮肤水份测试仪有效揭示了人体肌肤与水之间的奥秘，及时提示您进行靓肤和保健。

Under normal circumstances, the skin should be at least 35%


I got this from fiobeauty and she told me her new batch of these "pens" will arrive this week. If you need one, you can contact her at her website.

The price for this moisture monitor is RM55 btw. ;)

I hope these information helps!! Have a good weekend everybody!

The Brush Guards, my powder brushes body-guards!

My First-ever Body Brush Guards!


I can now safely say, I might be the last person who uses these brush guards. And I'm proud of it!

Better late than never, right?



I got the "Blush" Pack instead of the variety one. Because I value my "Powder/Blusher" Brush more than my other brushes. (LOL!)

There are five types as quoted from The Brush Guard website.

Variety pack—assortment of each size
Ex. Small—Shadow/Liner
Small—Blush
Medium—Foundation
Large—Powder/Kabuki

The little leaflet that is attached with the pack.


The instructions:


And some useful guide.


Here's what I got from the pack.



The actual size of these brush guards..




The guards are pretty stiff and a little scratchy when I first got them.




And they look pretty tiny to me too!


At first, I wasn't sure it was going to fit my Coastal Scents Pink Stippling Brush.


But it does fit all of them!
My MAC 187 Baby!


View from the top. :P


And even my ELF Powder Brush!


Cool right!


Here's a little guide on how to "Wear" them.


Price: $5.50 (From the Brush Guard), $4.95 (from Coastal Scents) *Prices in USD*

Overall Review:
Absolutely cool stuff! It not only helps protects the bristles from straying, but also prevents my little fingers from staining some foundations/concealers on the brush handle.

Like this.


Here's a little experiment with the brush guards for a week with my Coastal Scents Stippling Brush.

The Before.


The After.


Not convinced? How about this, with my MAC 187 together.


Are you sold to this yet?

If I'm not mistaken, Koren's video in his EnKoreMakeup channel also mentioned that this brush guard can turn a stippling brush to a MAC 188 dupe!


hahaha. But I'm not sold on this one though. I find it quite hard to use as a blusher brush. Or maybe I prefer a fluffier brush for blusher...

On the not so good part for The brush guard is that these guards are made of plastics. And these plastics will out-grown/overstretched from time to time. So, it's not really a long-term solution for us to keep the brushes from straying though. :)

Also... things may happen such as this..


It happens when I accidentally toss it in my brush holder (brush head facing downwards), and because of my "kingkong" hand pressure, the brush guards went upwards, causing the bristles looking "hazardous".

Overall, these brush guards are pretty useful to me, especially for travelling. I can now store them safely in my makeup bag without worrying the brushes bristles "molest" each other in the bag. (LOL!)

MAC Hello Kitty Collection & Grand Duos in Penang!

Have you been kitty-fied already?


Well, I am seriously been kitty-fied this two days. Spend almost 6 hours (total!) for two days.

Let me present you Mild Kitty Collection...Missing in here was theLucky Tom Pallet and the Eye lashes


And the mild kitty model..


The Wild Kitty Collection..


And the Wild Kitty Model.. The model very tall okay... all the way from KL yo!


My first day to MAC was my haul day, and the second day (today) was my balloon & biscuit day. I'm vain I know. But I didn't went there just because of the kitty balloon & kitty biscuits. I was in that area and dropped by since my friend was eye-ing the balloon for her kid.



And the chocolate biscuit with sugar coating..


The MUAs there were so cute! Mild kitty MUAs were dressed up with fluffy skirt and the Wild kitty MUAs were dressed up with shiny black pants! So cool!

Managed to take one pic when they were working. :P



And guess what. Most of the popular items were snapped up / being reserved on the first day itself (Friday). Yours truly got all of her stuff because of her kiasu-ness (reserved them before the launch =P).


My haul consists of 2 pigments, 1 Pink Fish (Tinted lip conditioner-RM62), 1 Make up bag, 1 She Loves candy lipglass.

About RM500 gone. What they gave me in return was the HK paper bag.


Hello Kitty Make up bag! RM130. This was way better than the smaller one as the smaller bag's size was so small. More like a coin bag and I wouldnt spend RM85 for a coin bag. -_-"

My Hello kitty Make up bag interior. (Spot something in there? :P )

My 187 brush can be stored in this bag too! Size just nice.

The pendant...




All the kitty plush doll were sold off. I wasn't going for it and it seems a little "out of shape" to me. LOLs! RM160 for the doll. Their purse mirror also sold off on the first day itself too! Didn't know Penang has so many Hello Kitty fans! -_- Oh, and their brush set + brush holder too! So crazy right!

Pink Fish & Popster TLC was off the rack too! Luckily the kiasu-me did ordered this also beforehand :P

This lip conditioner has SPF 15...


And it smells nice! sugary lippie!



I got myself another lip product which is the She loves Candy Lipglass..




The packaging is so irresistible!

See.. the kitty is smiling at me! :P


Show off a bit...


I did also swatched the nail colors... But didn't bought any since the color is not really appealing to me..




I didn't get to swatch the beauty powders / blushes as they look "blah" to me.. And they were also sold out already in counters..

But I did get to swatch the other lip products..


My friend also did her Makeover too! By Joanne...


Nice right.. :P

Last but not least, I managed to get hold of my MUA to cam-whore.. since the stage was so quiet..




Anyway, I appreciate Joanne, my MUA (thanks girl if you are reading this!! :P) did for me this two days. Really enjoyed myself more than the previous events (fafi/barbie). I wonder if they will come out with cartoons again next year...

*PS* If you are wondering, Too Dolly and Lucky Tom Palette is still available as the they bring in more stocks for this. Also, Grand Duos collection are out too! We are ahead of US this time. :P

I got myself Love Rocks from Grand Duo collection... 3 MSFs ...


And the swatches, RM95/each


So what are you waiting for ? Go party at your nearest MAC now!
