Product Review: I'm Meme Concealer

I'm a concealer person, due to my acne scars (occasionally pimples), concealer is one of the staple beauty item that I gotta have no matter where I go. As you guys know, good concealer is hard to find I've been through brands searching for the right one for me but either they are too heavy and cakey, or too sheer and unable to cover up my skin's flaws. 




During my trip to K-Beauty heaven last November, I decided to grab this concealer from the shop without any knowledge about the brand. It turns out when you're feeling adventurous, you might just found the perfect cosmetics and I'm talking about this:

I'm Meme Concealer in 01 Vanilla
Can't remember the price of this tho




Tube size, sturdy cap, doesn't leak





Precuse squeezing of amount






 creamy concealer





I'm Meme Concealer is creamy and yet lightweighted, provides good coverage of my dark circles and instantly brighten up my complexions too. Its natural finish gives a moisturized look that matches with my skin condition. I only used a small amount (probably like the size of a bead) for my face, and it is possible to do layering for full coverage look.


I used it for my lips as well too to give a neutral lip colour for my lipstick shade to show.

And I made my VERY FIRST beauty makeup video! It was so difficult editing beauty video, so much different than those travel/event videos I've done before. Although I've been following famous beauty instagrammers and view their videos now and then on instagram, but creating one myself is another world kinda issue. They look effortlessly pretty in all their vids and I just can't help feeling/looking weird and I can't made up my mind to smile or not. lol. 



Nonetheless, please enjoy viewing my short video and do give me some feedback! (It's rather short tho)

NARS Fall 2015 Color Collection

This mark my first purchase of NARS cosmetics too hooray! Ever since NARS opened their first store in Pavilion, me and my friends dropped by to visit their store quite often to check out their cosmetics and latest collection. Most of my friends have been buying their lipsticks, blushers and all but for me, I'm quite dilemma of what to buy and finally, NARS Fall 2015 Color Collection had my eyes on them!


Yay to my first NARS purchase lololol




Okay the nail lacquer isn't from the Fall 2015 Color Collection but I find it makes perfect fall winter colour and I'm loving the colour to bits! Was having some hard time deciding what colour to buy as I want something darker shade but not too feminine, more on the cool chic side, and this colour catches my eyes!



Purple Rain





Loving the subtle glimmer that shines





Loving the colour!


This nail polish from NARS had my heart since I first try it on in the store, as it is formulated with quick dry technique and also the colour, oh I just love the colour so much! Instantly made my hand look fairer and the colour just pop out so much. 


Usually I paint my nails 2 layers and it tends to be a bit hard to dry and sometimes with my restless behaviour of wanting to do things before my nail colour even dry completely, my nails will look horrendous with all those scratched nail colour. With NARS, one layer of painting is all I need to get my perfect nail colour and it dries out so fast! I'm amazed! 


Thinking of buying another nail polish from them again soon... Thinking of what colour~ Probably something more Spring Summer-ish? 




Next, from NARS Fall 2015 Color Collection which I think matches with my nail colours perfectly: Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow - Pasiphae

Pasiphae from Fall 2015 Color Collection

Pasiphae, in Greek mythology is the daughter of Helios, The Sun and she is the Queen of the city Atlantis who possessed the power of witchcraft. I guess this pretty sums up my feeling towards this colour - dark and mysterious and yet charming. This shinning peacock burgundy colored eyeshadow changes colour from different perspective and under different lighting, its sophisticated colour really bring life to my eyes.



Under fluorescent lighting





Natural lighting


The dual-intensity eyeshadow can be apply in two method - both dry and wet. You can do a dry application for daily look to achieve a soft and sensual eyeshadow colour and to intensified your eye game, apply the eyeshadow using the wet application for mind-blowing impact and high shine finishes.


I really love how the eyeshadow changes it colours on my eyelids from different angle and it makes me feel like I've everchanging, like a chameleon! Definitely something that suits my style and personality, forever changing to one style and another and never settle down. I guess from looking at my cosmetic purchase you'll roughly get the idea what type of personality I am lololol.

AsterSpring Sparkling Secret's Journey

Christmas came rather early this year! Thanks to AsterSpring, I've embarked on discovering their Sparking Secret's Journey last month and have learnt so many things about glowing skin health tips which helps beautify me from inside out. It was a fun event happened at AsterSpring One Utama centre and I saw so many familiar faces during the event. 



Ohai Kim Low and JQ and all the pretty girls I've met during the event




When I got AsterSpring's email inviting me to this event, I was a bit confused as it sounded like a journey to a trip, and yes indeed, it was a trip to rediscover how to be beautiful and glow radiantly from inside to outside as a woman who cherish and pamper herself. It was a rather informative event for me to gain more knowledge how to take good care of myself and look beautifully and be healthy.




AsterSpring Sparkling Secret's Journey



My first stop will be - The Innertreats Zone


It's all about enzyme




Vitalzyme, a 100% au-naturale enzyme drink suitable for daily consumption was introduced to us and I was amazed by its ingredients. 100% natural blend of 120 types of fruits and plants, combined with 54 types friendly bacteria, which provides your body various type of antioxidants, organic acids and phytonutrients for daily wellness. Vitalzyme was created with a 180 days triple fermentation process without any contains of alcohol, preservatives, artificial coloring, artificial flavoring nor sugar. It is a creation of an old-time, traditional methods of antique cypress barrels while the enzymes are improved by modern Japanese technology.


Vitalzyme is suitable for everyone to boost their immunity as well as provides antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to our body for stronger and healthier physical. All of us get to curate ourselves a glass of Vitalzyme with our preferred juices during the event.



By just looking at the display I instantly felt healthier already hahahahaha




My glass of Vitalzyme: Vitalzyme, lemon juice, cranberry juice and mint leaves!



This glass of Vitalzyme totally suits my taste! I like anything sourish, it helps refresh my senses and taste buds, of course, I kinda link sour to "non-fattening" and also helps slimming down. Hahahaha. I bet it would be great to drink a glass of Vitalzyme every morning as a great kickstart of the day.






My second stop will be the Skincare Zone.

Say Hi to Dermalogica



Well, I thought I knew what I knew about my skin, but guess this skincare zone proved that I was wrong. As skin changes along with the hormones in your body and also weather and environment, I will never know what are the changes that my skin is going through and it is always good to keep updating yourself of your skin condition by getting your skin checked by Dermalogica's staff. 


She gently examine my face and skin to come up with the best solution of how to take care of my skin



I've got combination type skin which make it harder to deal with. My skin needs extra care at some areas and little less attention at some, and the staff kindly suggested that I do light exfoliation every 2 to 3 days to keep my skin fresh and anew, so that the oily skin areas can take a breathe for lessen up dead skin cells that's been piling up and also unclog the oily pores. She suggested that Daily Microfoliant from Dermalogica is able to help better my skin condition. 




Was given these to try at home


I'm not a big fan of Dermalogica due to unfamiliarity towards the brand but most of my friends are! They've been using Dermalogica for quite some time and I've heard positive comments bout the brand now and then. It is a number one brand when it comes to professional skincare industry and has been around the market for 29 years, established positive results in improving skin health and also through education, innovation and professional recommendation.



Its plain design proves that Dermalogica achieved their goals by real result instead of marketing and packaging, and it is a product free from common irritants that prones to breakout such as lanolin, SD alcohol, mineral oil, artifical colors and fragrances. Hence Dermalogica is proven to improve the condition of your skin and also available at qualified skin therapy professionals such as AsterSpring centres.




Right after Skincare Zone, I was greeted by a bunch of happy, bubbly staffs and guess what, it is Skin Fun Zone next!


Toss and win!

Each of us were given three rings to toss at the board and you can win yourself your favourite products that are currently available at AsterSpring. I've only managed to get one out of three rings lol but it was an Aroma Smoothing Treatment session! Woohoo! Can't wait to try out their treatment session soon. 



Next is mark my favourite zone of all - Relaxing Zone.




I've lost track ever since when, massage has become one of my favourite relaxing moment when it comes to revitalising and rejuvenating my body and mind. This Relaxing Zone made me miss Thai massage even more! 



My masseuse of the day


My my she has a pair of soft and gentle hands and yet she manage to find those tired spots and nerves of mine and soothe them out with massage and also using Tisserand Aromatherapy oil. The award winning Tisserand essential oil is 100% pure organic, wild-crafted and ethically-harvested. It was the number 1 therapy-based brand back in UK and can be found across Europe in over 20,000+ stores!



While massaging, my masseuse asked me if recently I was sleep-deprived or stressed-out, that pretty amazed me as I was really undergoing stressful environment and insomnia attacks during that time, and she recommended me the Sweet Dream aromatherapy roller ball to help me get a good night sleep. I'm so thankful for her concern and kindness of my well-being.


Tisserand Aromatherapy Roller Ball


The Sweet Dream aromatherapy roller ball I got has calming and soothing effect due to its contain of jojoba, lavender and ylang-ylang oil, which promotes relaxation and is ideal when you need a good night sleep or some off-time for yourself. Rolling it on your pulse point like the back of your ears, inner wrist or even on forehead. It is none-greasy and puts you into a relaxation zone that I very much enjoyed ever since I got it from the event. 




Skin Fitness Zone comes after, and it looks like this:


Gosh am I seeing a dentist or something! NOOO!!!



It is not about dentist, but rather a comfortable sofa chair for you to sit on and let the machine do their job so your skin can be firmer than before. What? Just by sitting on the chair and skin can gets firmer? How does that even logical! Yes it is true - by using the modern Endermologie treatment of Mobilifit M6 by LPG introduce by AsterSpring into Malaysia skin wellness market.



Feeling honoured to try this Mobilift M6


Endermologie treatment of LPG system is a cellulite treatment system that combines firm massaging, rolling and sucking at the skin surface to attempt breaking up the fat cells that's caused cellulite dimpling and gathering. The skin of my hand was so soft and smooth after the treatment I just can't stop myself from touching the skin myself. 



It is a pain free, relaxing treatment which you can see the result in 10 minutes, almost instantly compare to other traditional and complicated procedure. It is also 100% natural without any usage of medication or oils, because by undergoing this treatment, it will increase the hyaluronic acid synthesis by 80% naturally, giving you soft and smooth skin that will amaze you. The machine is only available in selected AsterSpring centre, be sure to check out this advance technology of beauty innovation.




Second last stop of the day - Haircare Zone





Well, one of the shortest stay among of all zones - Haircare zone. Due to my heavily bleached hair, there's really nothing to take care of except to keep my hair frizz free and shiny. But still, an examine of my hair growth condition is needed, I'm kinda worry that bleaching will cause hair loss or something so let's see....




Hair condition examine device



And the result is quite promising! I don't have hair loss problem, and I guess my hair growth is in a pretty healthy state despite I've been bleaching my hair for more almost two years. My only concern is that my bleached hair are getting brittle, pretty damaging if not taking good care of it. Thanks to staff of Davines gave me some moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to try at home.

They create their products with attention and respect for environment, using only high grade, natural ingredients and strive to deliver products that connects their customers through the balance combination of scientifically, naturally and emotionally.




Our last stop of the day - The Beauty Zone


Philip Luq, came all the way from USA and introduce YoungBlood cosmetics to us





YoungBlood Mineral Cosmetics


Many didn't realize actually how lucky they are for not having allergic reaction towards cosmetics (people who are lucky like me) and this is why Pauline Youngblood, a paramedical aestheticians from California decided to create mineral cosmetics that actually protects skin cells and tissues. Using minerals like Malachite, Rhodolite, Hermatite and Zincite, paraben free, cruelty free, talc free, fragrance free, oil free, gluten free and using vegan products, YoungBlood mineral cosmetics has become a big hit in USA they are even appointed as official cosmetics for KARIGAM in New York Fashion Week!




Makeup demo by Philip


It is through the makeup demo by Philip only I realize how powerful the coverage of YoungBlood mineral cosmetics is. It is lightweighted and yet gives full coverage to your skin, protects you skin and make you look beautiful at the same time. They provides a full range of cosmetics that you can choose from and able to create any looks you like from their products. I'm so, so, so close into getting their eyeliners already! Same goes to Freda in purchasing their foundation set. 



The Sparkling Secret's journey ended with a short makeup competition where we can create our favourite makeup looks by using YoungBlood makeup. 5 girls a team trying to doll up an AsterSpring staff, kinda tortured by us I guess hahahaha sorry! Anyway it was fun to help others do their makeup, especially with full range of products available for me to choose from weeeee!!!




Thank you so much AsterSpring for this wonderful Sparkling Secret journey. It has once again taught be to be beautiful from inside out and I'm definitely gaining more knowledge about the products as well as skincare tips than before. Always a fun one when you get to be beautiful together with your friend ain't it?

The White Queen Impostor

Back at early of April, 10 bloggers were invited to The Smokehouse, Bangsar for a tea party/food review session. *Oops, food review, bloggers, free food invitation seems like some hot keywords for now.* And the theme for this tea party is The Mad Hatter's Tea Party!


I believe that you've already seen my blog post about the food review. (Just in case you missed it, here's the link for you, they have awesome English theme ambience and food! Click Here to Read )


But I guess I didn't blog much about my make-up for that day!!! So I decided to show you more photos of me - impostor of the White Queen character.



White Queen driving. LOL! Because don't have Prince Charming fetch me.


A week earlier, we were all required to impost a character in the blockbuster movie "Alice in The Wonderland" since the theme is Mad Hatter's Tea Party. I guess lots of blogger will choose either Alice or Mad Hatter, so I was thinking about the Red Queen or the White Queen.


But I just realize that I don't any red dress (Can I say FML!??) so the only option left for me is the White Queen. At that time, I haven't watch the movie, so I don't have any clue how is the White Queen's make-up and outfit looks like. All I have are some movie posters which I googled.



White Queen stuck in the traffic jam.

So, the day for the food review arrives. And I realize that: I don't have any white dress either!!! (DOUBLE FML CAN!???) So, I'm force to wear 2 piece and add some impact accessories to make it up like a queen. LOL!


I even use my faux pearl hairband as necklace. Damn pathetic. 



Eye make-up close up.


I heard that there's this existence of WHITE foundation, and I try very hard to find it, even ask around from friends who are taking make-up course, too bad it's a bit rare, I guess only Geisha been using it.


So, I used my own method to make it white, but boohooo~ the white doesn't last long and it can be apply evenly on my skin.


Two Face White Queen. Before and After.

To 'electrified' my eyes, I even put on lower fake lashes. Damn hardcore! You have no idea how hard it is to apply it on! I wonder how those Japanese manage to make it looks so natural with their lower fake lashes on.



Face Powder from my Grandma era!


Since i can't get the white foundation, so THIS is the powder I used to make my face appear white. Not that visible, but it sure is something nostalgic isn't? *Reminds me of my grandma. Sniff sniff*


I guess now I'm satisfied after the secret finally revealed. LOL! I don't have any clue what to post about next... Maybe about Xuan Xuan??? Hehe! His birthday is coming!!! *excited* Gonna plan how to celebrate with him. Hehe.
