Maybe it could be a start of a story. You know, I have always wanted to keep writing. Always wanting to improve. But it feels as though I am going backwards with how I write. It is terribly disappointing. Perhaps this is a sign to start again. Random story bursting out of nowhere from my brain's archives. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>- Chapter 0 -</b></p><p>I woke up to the warmth of the sun filling up my little room. <i>No! </i>I wanted to stay wrapped up in my thick waffle blanket.

</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The topic of vitamin C has been hot in the
radar in the recent years. As humans we do not synthesise ascorbic acid
(vitamin C) naturally in the body, hence we need to obtain it from food. This
is so that we do not get vitamin C deficiency, such as Scurvy, for instance. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Did you know that the word “Ascorbus” means
no Scurvy? </i>[2]. Not only does vitamin C help with bleeding gums,
it is a potent antioxidant that can be used in skin treatment. Hence in Japan,
vitamin C is classified as quasi-drug, because of its pigment-fading quality [1]. </span></p>

pigment melanin [1, 2]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Vitamin E is also an antioxidant, and the body
needs this in order to keep the immune system going strong. A lot of food that
we eat contains vitamin E, including sunflower seeds, spinach, broccoli,
vegetable oils, and nuts (almonds, hazelnuts and so on). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN">What if
then you combine the two? </span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">A new Australian skincare brand has just
launched this Spring here in Australia and I have been trialling their new
innovation, the </span><span lang="EN"><b>Speisialtóir Vitamin C and E Serum</b>. This is potent. Let me
reiterate that, potent. 20% of pure vitamin C (L-Ascorbic acid) and vitamin E
in a bottle. <i>Wow, what!</i><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">What does the founder, Carmen Le, says about
this:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">“... the US breakthrough technology, the
<b>Amphiphilic Trans-Epidermal Delivery System</b>, used in our </span><span lang="EN">Speisialtóir Vitamin C
and E Serum, this technology helps overcome the instability issue of pure
Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic acid) in cosmetic formulations. This exclusive patented
system allows the active ingredients to turn into micro-molecules, increasing
their penetration through the skin barrier, which means the vitamin C potency
is intact without the use of preservatives. It is a registered trademark
(registration number 5,349,988).” - you can read more about it in their website <a href="https://efani.com.au/products/speicialtoir-vitamin-c-e-serum-10ml" target="_blank">HERE</a><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN">How long
can this be kept?</span></i><span lang="EN"> 36 months</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Does it contain any water? No. So you MUST moisturise after!<br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN">Is it
cruelty free?</span></i><span lang="EN"> Yes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">It is also free from preservatives, colours
and fragrances.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN">For all
skin types?</span></i><span lang="EN"> Yes.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">And, it is an Australian brand :) and I do love the <i>laboratory-esque </i>dropper glass bottle packaging.<br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"><i>Ingredients list: </i>Methoxymethylbutanol,
Ascorbic acid, Glycerin, Dipropylene glycol, Dimethyl isosorbide, Tocopherol</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">(As seen in their website <a href="https://efani.com.au/products/speicialtoir-vitamin-c-e-serum-10ml">https://efani.com.au/products/speicialtoir-vitamin-c-e-serum-10ml</a>)<br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN">How have
I been using it?</span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">1-2 drops, in the morning, after my toning
lotion and before my moisturiser and sunscreen. You <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">must, must, must, </i>wear sunscreen every day, and even more so if you
want to start incorporating vitamin C serum into your skincare routine. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">I know my skin, so I did not use this every
day right away. I had to introduce it slowly. That means, every few days or
even a break in between, because the last thing I need is any inflammation or
adverse reaction. As I am addressing a few minor pigmentation at random places
on my face and an overall improvement to my skin tone, the result will be
subtle. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">On a side note, I have been using other
skincare that have been assisting this for a long time. So, I think it is fair
to say that it will show different effects on everyone depending on the current
status of your skin, at varying times. A product like this will produce results
if you are using it consistently over a period of time, such as 3-4 months. I
have products that I use diligently for years and my skin is the result of
that.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Is it a nice product to incorporate into the skincare routine? Yes. If you are interested in reducing pigmentation, improving your overall skin tone, brightening and anti-aging, then this is for you. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">I love anything that can contribute to achieving a radiant, brightened, healthy glowing skin. Anti-aging is also something that is always at the back of my mind nowadays since I am in my thirties. <br /></span></p>

From one of the weddings I did last week... using soft ivory and deep blood red Colombian roses... stunning or... S-t-u-n-n-i-n-g!! How photogenic are these babies...Dana Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09510418110544306997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9184051534075646356.post-15116219758140017702016-03-14T15:40:00.003+10:002016-03-14T15:40:37.967+10:00UntitledWhere do I begin?<br />
I don't know where to run to or...<br />
where to go.<br />
This road less taken..<br />
is awinding<br />
neverending...<br />
story yet untold...<br />
ideas forsaken...<br />
Who am I?<br />
What is out there...<br />
To go back...<br />
To relive...?<br />
To enter anew...<br />
To keep going afresh...<br />
<br />

In all honesty, however, I believe in good care products. Now it doesn't matter if it was for my makeup brushes or household and in this case, microfiber cloths. Microfiber cloths are used in my house for all sorts of purposes, a very multipurpose cloth that I use constantly everywhere. Be it for our cars, our table tops, to clean this, that... etc. Now I never knew there was something I could do to revive microfiber cloths. Who's here have put them in the washing machine and only to find that they come out unforgivingly dry and crunchy... just not quite the fluffy, absorbent as when they were new? I know I have been in that situation.<br />
<br />
So what is this <b>Mint MWash</b>?<br />
<br />
It is designed to thoroughly clean and revive microfiber cloths, towels, pads, mitts... anything of the microfiber materials. Unfortunately I won't be able to tell whether normal wash actually clean them properly... because with their extensive amount of usage to clean the cars, and other surfaces mean that they absorb a lot of products, dirt, and dust... and these need to be rid of.<br />
<br />
Oh and Mint is the brand - how adorable. :) <br />
<br />
Guess what?<br />
<br />
I tried... and the result is nothing short of remarkable. I even took a photo... or two.<br />

The microfiber cloths and pads came out clean as new! and..... They're fluffy!! Wow!<br />
They're not cracking dry like when you wash them in normal wash with other normal detergent... and they are actually soft and fluffy... just like when they're brand new. They don't wrinkle or scrunch out of shape either. They don't lose their colour. They have been revived!<br />
This is excellent news, especially when you have spent your money on
some good microfiber cloths, you want them to last. Just like getting a
good makeup brush... ah, you know what I mean. <br />

I had hit the brake in the past year or two when I started pursuing my other love of being creative in the floral design field. Do I miss blogging? yes I sure do. Do I ever run out of things to say or review or write about? No, actually that's not the case. It is more about whether or not it is worth writing it out loud. I can be a little irritated at myself because the blog is not how I envisioned it to be, hence at times I kept wanting to perfect it... but perhaps the thing I should just do is to keep going... to keep writing.<br />
<br />
I haven't been as crazy in buying or wearing makeup too, despite my undying love for them. So many other things in life crop up on you and you prioritise where your hard earned money goes towards... as you know what I mean.<br />
<br />
I have received messages and emails in regards to my blogging and I thank you all for that. Really! It makes me want to get back into blogging even more.<br />
<br />
At times though, I feel that the world has become too saturated now with the bloggers... it's kinda crazy. It used to not be as how it is now. When we all first started back in the 2009s... all of us bloggers... I think we all had a different mindset on how things were going to go or had no idea that it was going to be such a hit... this field of blogging. Every second person I know now blogs, either it is about food or beauty... what a world. That's one of the things that has put me off a little... especially the past a year... because I wonder if you would still like to hear my thoughts...?<br />
<br />
Another things, this blog was started as purely a beauty blog, however I want to incorporate life topics, floral design, home cook, etc. What do you think?<br />

<br /><br />
Launched in May this year, the <em><a href="http://www.qld.gov.au/ifyousmoke" target="_blank"><u>If you smoke, your future’s not pretty</u></a> <br />
</em>campaign focuses on the effects of smoking on young people’s physical <br />
appearance. I have never been a fan of smoking. I don’t understand why that around 1 in 5 <br />
Queensland women smoke during pregnancy. How smoking has become a major cause of <br />
preventable disease and death in Queensland. How smoking has become responsible <br />
for over 3,400 deaths in Queensland every year.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
Isn’t it crazy that female smokers aged 18-24 can smoke up to 20 cigarettes a <br />
day. Not only it will affect your physical appearances, but the overall impact <br />
on your health and wellbeing.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
I received news that the campaign is doing the opposite of ‘make-up’ – <br />
‘make-under’ – showcasing what you may look like being a smoker. I had missed <br />
out on the actual opportunity of being ‘make-under’ but I thought I would still <br />
share this campaign – I do think you have the choice to make.<br /><br />

I prefer to double cleanse and wash my face after wearing makeup throughout the day.</p> <p align="center">This contains witch hazel which is an overall clarifying toner for the skin. <em>However it may be drying if you have dry skin.</em> </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Bgkgi8lveaY/Ux5lB5h0U8I/AAAAAAAAEug/-5tCejylwLE/s1600-h/2014-03-03%25252017.28.38.jpg"><img title="2014-03-03 17.28.38" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto" alt="2014-03-03 17.28.38" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-iZVz_0tWEhA/Ux5lEmxYq8I/AAAAAAAAEuo/bsIM-HmZkzc/2014-03-03%25252017.28.38_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="360" height="480"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-eBQE6cxdxkQ/Ux5lI3qjExI/AAAAAAAAEuQ/oC5YGaTpGUQ/s1600-h/2014-03-03-17.28.545.jpg"><img title="2014-03-03 17.28.54" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto" alt="2014-03-03 17.28.54" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-DsZdakavzg0/Ux5lON5pjdI/AAAAAAAAEuY/x1qPWzJn3qw/2014-03-03-17.28.54_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="480"></a></p> <p align="justify">The scent is quite strong and I could straight away tell it’s an astringent type. My skin is not a huge fan of it generally, so take note. Hence why I avoid the eyes straight away when using this. It does leave the skin feeling clean and it works alright in the areas I am most oily (on nose especially). Although I think it still does not cleanse as thorough as some other facial makeup remover cleansers, due to the fact I do test this when using foundation etc. </p> <p align="justify">It is milky look to it but very watery, so this is not one to massage into the skin like cleansing lotions or creams. It is not as gentle, unfortunately, as I could feel some kind of either menthol or that sort of feel to it. I feel that this would work amazingly for teenagers and early university days rather than at my age now and onwards.</p> <p align="justify">On another note, Weleda is a lovely company that has been around way way longer than my mother or my grandmother have been around! There’s gotta be something there…</p> <p align="justify">You can find Weleda at David Jones, and selected health food shops. </p> <p align="center">Available now</p> <p align="center"><strong><em><font color="#4f81bd" size="4">Have you tried any Weleda product?

However, one day I decided to give it a try. One little drop… at a time.</p> <p align="justify">Then it hit me. The aroma… just… <em>ooh la la!</em></p> <p align="justify">I reread the label. <strong><em>“With lemon to bring clarity and rose to lift the spirits”</em></strong> – it has lemons! That’s why! *starry eyes*</p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-OnaUi_cecd0/UxQSxrRNxNI/AAAAAAAAEnU/3VXkQTkHF_Y/s1600-h/2014-03-03%25252011.33.00%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="2014-03-03 11.33.00" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto" alt="2014-03-03 11.33.00" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-yknTN2pEl9o/UxQSyiYu-nI/AAAAAAAAEnc/eYQkFvZRt-E/2014-03-03%25252011.33.00_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="480"></a></p> <p align="justify">I am suggesting to myself that perhaps if it were just plain rose scent I would have not liked it as much. I love this because it is a <strong>lemon x rose</strong> mix scent. I actually have another shower bath gel with lemon and rose mix and I also adore that, thankfully that other one is a permanent line of another company – more on that another time. Back to ‘Rose Jam’.</p> <p align="justify">I love that the name actually does signifies the scent – it is almost as though you are slathering delicious jam. Lush makes me think of food, can you blame me? </p> <p align="justify">Now one thing I am unhappy about is… that it is a <strong><em>Limited Edition</em></strong> item! I can’t find it in store – NOooo!! There goes again… one of my ultimate favourite Lush scent was this soap called <em><strong>Vanilla in the Mist</strong></em>, but they discontinued it years ago. Then this Rose Jam shower gel… and it was a Limited Edition. Count my lucky stars that happens with the Lush products I love… =(</p> <p align="justify">I just love this shower gel. It makes me happy in the shower, among other shower gel and my ultimate coconut soap that make me happy too. I’m one of those who get into a thinking mode in the shower and my own little ‘me’ time, adoring the shower products I can use. </p> <blockquote><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-n_WibrqEQTs/UxQSz26t0ZI/AAAAAAAAEnk/aXB-EFXQwF4/s1600-h/2014-03-03%25252011.35.21%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="2014-03-03 11.35.21" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto" alt="2014-03-03 11.35.21" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-XI_0rMdf0VE/UxQS01B6QDI/AAAAAAAAEno/0Xkfx8q2AFs/2014-03-03%25252011.35.21_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="360" height="480"></a> <p align="justify"><em></em> </p> <p align="justify"><em>“For a fruity, zesty lather with a floral fragrance.

I used it so much, carried it with me everywhere, and look at it, it’s battered and done. When it was on its last crumbs, the fact that I really loved it and loved how it looks on me, I could not get it off my head. I gave in, much to my reluctance, and bought the full size. Now I’ve hit pan, <em>on the full size</em>.</p></blockquote> <p align="justify"><strong>Laguna</strong> is indeed one of the most talked about bronzer in the beauty world, apart from Chanel Tan de Soleil and many other bronzers that may come our way. That was actually the reason why I was so reluctant on purchasing the bronzer itself, merely because I did not really need to review or try out something that ‘everyone’ is raving about. Perhaps it is all a hype and I would be disappointed once I have one in hand. You know that feeling… </p> <p align="justify"><em><u>But</u></em> Boy, was I proven wrong! I fell in love with it. A little… too much. So it’s about time I pen down my thoughts on it.</p> <p align="justify">The <strong>colour</strong> itself is a medium-tan brown, which gives off a warm, golden tone finish sans the gold flecks. It is not dirty nor muddy. The colour <strong>payoff</strong> is good, is buildable, and blends seamlessly. I love that it <em>does not</em> emphasise any pore or goes blotchy. Just how I’ve titled this post – <strong>silky, soft and smooth.</strong> <em>Not that it’s a tofu or anything… hmm, tofu..</em></p> <p align="justify">It <strong>wears</strong> really well on me, lasting a true whole day without disappearing or fading. It is <strong>not cakey</strong> and it always, always looks <strong>natural</strong>.</p> <p align="justify">I use this mainly to <strong>contour</strong> – cheekbones, temples, jawline, under my chin, a touch on the top of my forehead and a brush along the sides of my nose. It is also works so nicely to warm up the complexion.</p> <p align="justify"><strong>Brushes</strong> to use vary from <strong>MAC 109</strong> to <strong>Real Techniques Contour</strong> brush to large<strong> tulip</strong> shape to a large fluffy brush to small blush brush to angled blush brush. The choice of brush depends on the look that I am going for, whether it sculpted, <em>sunkissed</em> or just a light wash on my cheeks on a ‘no makeup’ makeup day.</p> <p align="justify">A lot of my face front photos that you may have seen either here or on Instagram would most likely be using NARS Laguna as contour. <em>No photoshop or retouching…</em></p> <p align="center"><strong><em>For example…</em></strong></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-4d2FrtlnlnU/UxPxudifiWI/AAAAAAAAEms/eEm0_CcWvgU/s1600-h/2014-02-27%25252014.47.21%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="2014-02-27 14.47.21" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto" alt="2014-02-27 14.47.21" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-D2joqibHN4Y/UxPxv63WNZI/AAAAAAAAEm0/Wf_2_y5CiJc/2014-02-27%25252014.47.21_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="480"></a></p> <p align="justify">There are other photos with me wearing Laguna, but do you get the effect that I am talking about? Can you see in the photo above, that Laguna manages to warm up the face without looking overly bronzed? It has also softly sculpted my face so it does not look as flat… as we, Asians, know our faces tend to be flat… genetically, generally. <em>Heck, I have quite a lot of cheek space.</em></p> <p align="center">NARS Laguna is available to purchase in Brisbane and Australia-wide <br>in store from <strong>Mecca Maxima</strong> and <strong>Mecca Cosmetica</strong> for <strong>AUD$55</strong>. </p> <p align="center">For those with darker complexion (<em>NC40 and above, I’m around NC25, NARS Punjab</em>) don’t you worry, NARS bronzers come in 2 other shades – Irresistiblement and Casino. I suggest you test it out in store and wear it out first to see which suits you best.</p> <p align="center"><strong><em>-xx</em></strong></p> Dana Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09510418110544306997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9184051534075646356.post-48797442619848009482014-03-03T10:11:00.001+10:002014-03-03T22:50:01.734+10:00About Me | 10 Things My Hands Do + Heart to Heart<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-hqg1T_VA-gA/UxPIMOxruwI/AAAAAAAAEjo/os0ehYD5Smk/s1600-h/2014-02-28%25252018.52.45%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="2014-02-28 18.52.45" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-axgg1HxQH54/UxPINUqAUDI/AAAAAAAAEjw/5dUPZwoInKU/2014-02-28%25252018.52.45_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="480" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="2014-02-28 18.52.45" width="640" /></a><br />

This post is slightly on the personal side, which I don’t normally dwell into, as a blog post, you know it. Although I feel, I may want to let this out a little, now, to get it off my chest. I want to acknowledge some things. It is a part of me, and for the longest time I am in constant battle with myself, with my own self. Perhaps you’ll get to know me <i>a little better this way</i>.</div>

I guess one could say I’m finding myself in this <i><u>sea of everything</u></i>… What is it that I dream of, what is it that I ponder about… It has never been a smooth sailing road and it will never be, at least for me, but down the future track… I’m sure there’s something planned out for me, I just don’t know it yet. Is that wrong to think that? Is it a failure of me that I am not who I thought I would be, at this age? There are many more adventures to come, and many more places to explore. </div>

<div align="justify">
I’m still hesitant in posting this up, merely because the term <i>“10 things my hands can do”</i> may be a little strange. I am letting it off my mind… that I do these things… of course, not to say I do all 10 everything all the time! There are some of them that I don’t do often or haven’t even done in a while! Good heavens, no. <i>Hahas…</i> It’s just that, for some reason, I’ve been gratefully given these two hands that are always itchy to be doing handcraft/hand works/arts/something creative … again, despite my other more “serious” / “researcher” / “science” approach to life and other things. I guess you’re right in thinking “what the!?”… well, I’ve never spoken about it at all anyway. Hence why I find it difficult just to even share this.</div>

<i>I have a vision, “c’est la vie” they say…<br />I’m still on that road… that I took, that is less taken…<br />I’m unconventional… I’m not delusional.<br />I want to be known as someone who cares, <br />as someone who does something good.</i></div>
<div align="justify">
<i> </i> </div>
<div align="center">
Everyday I am garnering strength to stay strong and keep moving forward… there are those around me whom I am thankful for, who have always been <i>my rock, my breath of fresh air, my sanity</i>.</div>

Well, now you will just have to know her. She is this cute, bubbly, inspirational, elegant lady from Norwich, one of my favourite YouTuber, a makeup artist, and has recently launched her own makeup collection consisting of lipglosses and nail polishes. Girl crush alert!! </p> <p align="justify">The story is… that… unfortunately nail polishes cannot be shipped to Australia so we Aussies would have to do with just experiencing her lip glosses. Now, now, who here ever remember when was the last time I speak or even review or praise a lip gloss? Uhm, when was that… <strong><em>almost… never?</em></strong> Yeah, you could say that. However, this lip gloss has impressed me so<em> so so</em> much that it is worth a mention… while I am still waiting for a few more shades to arrive!

I have been one of those sceptical kind, due to the fact that my hair has its own personality. My hair is flat, volume-less, oil up fast in the roots and I’m just not too sure what shampoo to use all the time. And it has colour running through it. </p> <p align="center">Come along this reformulated range from <strong>Aveda</strong>. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-1ZZfKl7O688/Uw3Qp6i3jUI/AAAAAAAAEgM/TNfr0A6HuKE/s1600-h/Aveda%252520Dry%252520Remedy%252520range%252520-%252520lifestyle%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img title="Aveda Dry Remedy range - lifestyle" style="display: inline" alt="Aveda Dry Remedy range - lifestyle" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-NNW_xaIZy6Y/Uw3QrMTNUjI/AAAAAAAAEgU/nrwnOImuPXY/Aveda%252520Dry%252520Remedy%252520range%252520-%252520lifestyle_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="352" height="480"></a></p> <p>I’ve heard of Aveda hair care range but I have so far only walked passed it from the outside of Oscar Oscar hair salon. I have not tried it so I was keen to see how this range perform.</p> <blockquote> <p>On a quest for super-hydrated hair, <strong>Aveda, The Art and Science of Pure Flower and Plant Essences</strong>, sought inspiration from the moisture-rich forests of Brazil, where a serious solution for parched, brittle strands exists, called <strong><em>buriti oil</em></strong>.</p> <p><em><u>What it is</u></em> – is a richly moisturising ingredient harvested from the fruit of the <strong>Moriche Palm</strong> – aka <em><strong>“Tree of Life”</strong></em> – which flourishes in Brazil’s wettest areas. Buriti oil is powerfully hydrating and the key ingredient in this range.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-OhOM0s3mHY4/Uw3QtBC8PlI/AAAAAAAAEgc/_gfL-8xLWgA/s1600-h/Buriti%252520oil%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="Buriti oil" style="float: none;

It is almost like why do you buy a $50 face moisturiser but not a $50 shampoo/conditioner hair care, right? Ah, the dilemma. Although, when I do someday have the extra $$ at my own disposal I would not hesitate to repurchase when I run out. For now I would save these as treatments and alternatives. However if you are <em>not</em> concerned with the price and you just want a really <em>nice, luxurious, softening and moisturising</em> shampoo that not only nourishes but give your hair a lift without stripping it of moisture, with the benefits of natural Buriti oil, <strong><em>give this a try. </em></strong>I just can’t put my finger to it, something about this shampoo, conditioner and oil that I just fell in love with. The feel of my hair perhaps? The scent? The packaging? Just something…</p> <p align="center">Available now.</p> <p align="center">x</p> <p align="center"><font color="#c0504d" size="6" face="Rage Italic">Blushfully</font></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"><em><font color="#666666">Disclaimer: The products were provided for review consideration.</font></em></p> Dana Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09510418110544306997noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9184051534075646356.post-62820911177743621492014-02-25T21:00:00.001+10:002014-02-25T21:00:38.532+10:00Mecca Cosmetica Wishlist<p align="center">In no particular order… n_n”</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-iwg69wc5fPI/Uwx3uCUaqyI/AAAAAAAAEfA/tM5ETOh3Cz8/s1600-h/1-nars-narsissist-cheek-palette%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="1-nars-narsissist-cheek-palette" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto" alt="1-nars-narsissist-cheek-palette" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-d1fScso7v20/Uwx3vJ4HK6I/AAAAAAAAEfI/qW-sKPOiqpI/1-nars-narsissist-cheek-palette_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="240" height="240"></a></p> <p align="center"><strong>NARS The NARSissist Cheek Palette </strong>AU$69<br>Consists of Devotee (LE highlighter), Orgasm (Blush), Laguna (Bronzer) + Travel Size Blush Brush</p> <p align="center">‘cause I think this would be the perfect travel friend I could ever need, either for a weekend away or any kind of travel..</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-mWUkKLDovdU/Uwx3vwfyiiI/AAAAAAAAEfQ/jwfEAayqioo/s1600-h/1-Sunday-EffortlessTintedPrimer%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="1-Sunday-EffortlessTintedPrimer" style="display: inline" alt="1-Sunday-EffortlessTintedPrimer" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-i0LgqMefR98/Uwx3wubGrTI/AAAAAAAAEfY/4yOvGPlaMS4/1-Sunday-EffortlessTintedPrimer_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="240" height="240"></a></p> <p align="center"><strong>Sunday Riley Effortless Breathable Tinted Primer</strong> AU$58<br>’cause I want to try this much talked about primer</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-kGj4f_5SuHY/Uwx3xm8g8YI/AAAAAAAAEfg/rLR8s7YTTpA/s1600-h/007872-1-stila-smudgesticklinerGROUP%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="007872-1-stila-smudgesticklinerGROUP" style="display: inline" alt="007872-1-stila-smudgesticklinerGROUP" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-HoJTOlqYu_A/Uwx3y5Ra3_I/AAAAAAAAEfo/b-zeSZt6MXo/007872-1-stila-smudgesticklinerGROUP_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="240" height="240"></a></p> <p align="center"><strong>Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner</strong> AU$32</p> <p align="center">In shades:- <br><em><strong>Damsel</strong></em> (Matte Black Brown)<br>and maybe some others because I want to try whether they perform as they claimed.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ZVc19JrwU8Y/Uwx3z_E20pI/AAAAAAAAEfw/9CWnLxDbj2Q/s1600-h/1-hourglass-ambientblush-radiantmagenta%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="1-hourglass-ambientblush-radiantmagenta" style="display: inline" alt="1-hourglass-ambientblush-radiantmagenta" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-gFmH31NwPW4/Uwx30tN83vI/AAAAAAAAEf4/my38ErRbtq8/1-hourglass-ambientblush-radiantmagenta_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="240" height="240"></a></p> <p align="center"><strong>Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush</strong> AU$50<br>in shade <em><strong>“Radiant Magenta”</strong></em></p> <p align="center"><em><strong>---</strong></em></p> <p align="center">Any of you has stepped in to Mecca Cosmetica or Mecca Maxima recently?

I have been dying to get back into the hair salon to get my hair re-shape, trimmed, and overall freshened up. I wanted to refresh, that’s why I seek out the Tsiknaris brothers again to take care of my hair, and boy, did they do such impressive work. Again! I was bummed I had left my SD card in my laptop, so I had to resort to my phone camera. I also had forgotten to take a photo of my excessively long “before” hair… my hair was almost down to my waist, with layers past the chest area. <em>Long.</em></p> <p>You can read about my very first experience with Tsiknaris Hair <em><strong><a href="http://blushfully.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/tsiknaris-hair-experience-new-farm.html">here</a></strong></em>, where I talked in depth about the steps to recreate the boho wave look with my kind of hair.</p> <p>This time, I told Bill and Chris that I want an update. Something that would suit my face shape, skin tone, that sort of thing. Chris even noticed how earthy my colour scheme is. Hah! Good thing too, he picked just the right hues to update the colour of my hair. I said, <em>“Sounds good!”</em></p> <p>I told Bill I wanted something with volume and that oomph feel, without having too much wispy layers at the bottom (totally do not suit my look). I also said, to rid of the unnecessary weight but still having the feel of ‘long’-ish hair. Tricky, huh? But you know what, they get it. Spot on. Bill suggested some looks, and told me his ideas about it. I said, <em>“Go Ahead!”</em></p> <a name='more'></a> <p><em></em> </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-gEcpJ1xSScQ/UuTFx2G6BiI/AAAAAAAAEb4/wbH70rc3Kqw/s1600-h/2014-01-25%25252014.31.03%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="2014-01-25 14.31.03" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto" alt="2014-01-25 14.31.03" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-BwjXLy4TavE/UuTFy6DG4TI/AAAAAAAAEb8/Ws3uXeXEXbA/2014-01-25%25252014.31.03_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="480"></a></p> <p>This device is called Climate Zone – a climate/temperature thingamajik that helps with colouring your hair.

I’ve been so busy off my feet and distressed brain, sick with fever, sore throat, sinus all that jazz… my apologies for the lack of post. </p> <p>Here I just want to showcase some products I thought are worth mentioning, seeing that it is the new year and all, new products resolution. I’m always on the lookout for longwearing, longlasting product, and for them to even withstand the Queensland summer heat is an added bonus. If it doesn’t, oh well, but when I thought I should give up… I came across these products that had just <em>wow-ed</em> me so much I have to share it.</p> <a name='more'></a> <p><em>What products were used:</em></p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer</strong> <br>I have this in the mini travel size, which are perfect, as I could have them on the go or have them in my kit to use on other people. I am loving Color Correcting Adjust (green), and Hydrating Oil Free (blue) ones. They sure do assist in making my makeup stay on flawless all day long. I like the green one because it lessens the redness on my face when I do get the random red blotches due to the heat. The blue one is equally as nice and is not drying. </p> <p><strong>Smashbox Studio Skin 15Hr Liquid Foundation</strong><br>I am trialling this in the shade 2.1. Quite impressive. I am intrigued, surprised, but bummed that it will cost AU$62.95 to buy it in store here. Is it worth it, yes… but… it is still on the expensive side of the spectrum. Why, Australia, why! So this foundation, has a slight tacky grip to it when you are applying. It has a medium buildable to full coverage. Once I’ve powdered this baby all over, it honestly did not budge or transfer or disappear! I’ve been wearing this for a full whole day wear under the scorching, unforgiving Brisbane summer heat and it soldiered on like no other. It still looks nice, too, not overly cakey or drying. It does not go blotchy or separate in any way. This shade actually sort of brightens my complexion too. I am <em>MAC NC25-30, NARS Punjab</em> for reference. </p> <p><strong>Bourjois Healthy Balance Unifying Powder</strong> <br>I actually really love this powder. I use the shade 52 Vanilla and despite it looking slightly lighter in summer tan, it makes my skin look brighter rather than “too white”, which I love. It has a touch of coverage and goes on smooth. It is not cakey and blends like butter on me. I love using this as setting powder. I really have just been enjoying using this Bourjois powder that I already have a back up of this powder when it ever does run out down the line.</p> <p><strong>Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Foundation Powder</strong><br>Another pressed powder that I have fallen in love with towards the end of last year. I have this in shade 05. I can wear it alone for a light coverage foundation but when applied with sponge over certain areas, can be of medium coverage. It just blends without being thick or cakey. I just love this. It’s travel friendly as well, as it does have a pocket under the foundation pan for a sponge. I shall definitely be considering of repurchasing when I run out. Really just been enjoying this, too. I can wear shade 05 alright, but I would like to try other shades to see if I match better with a different shade number. I can touch up with this throughout the day as well, and it does not look cakey. Winner winner!</p> <p><strong>Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer</strong><br>I never thought I would love a concealer as much as a more liquid one or other types. But boy, had this won me over!? You don’t need much either, I always end up picking up too much product but really, you need just a dab for your blemishes or under the eye. Pigmentation is great, coverage is great, blends just nicely with enough grip so it doesn’t slip or slide. I have this in SC-4. The salmon shade is a tad dark on me, but I can work it only on the areas under my eyes. The yellow base concealer side is just perfection.</p> <p><strong>Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil</strong><br>It took me months and months to finally succumb to purchasing this and trying it out for myself. I’m glad and not at the same time. I’m glad because it is a nice brow pencil, easy to use, easy to blend, need no sharpening, very handy. I’m not glad… because it is fairly expensive here in Australia for how much you get as a brow pencil. I still love my Shu Uemura hard eyebrow pencil, yet this one is easier to travel with because I’m always fearing that I’d break my Shu Uemura pencil. I use the shade Dark Brunette. Does it last all day? Yes. This is a very, very nice brow pencil.</p> <p><strong>NARS Laguna Bronzer</strong><br>Yes, I used this for contouring. Especially on my cheek bones, since I have so much of cheek space. Oh, you know what I mean. I just love the contoured look anyway. I love this because it is so nice to apply, blend well, not orange or too red, and works well on me. </p> <p><strong>Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour Blush<br></strong>In shade Lush Nectarine. I am not too sure if they still have this shade in store, but this is the shade that I have and that hint of rosy-ness on my cheeks you see… is of this. </p> <p><strong>Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer</strong><br>I’m a huge fan of the Urban Decay Primer Potion and my eyes agree that until now it is still the best primer deal out there. I’ve tried others, such as <em>Too Faced, Lime Crime, Inglot, Gorgeous Cosmetics, etc…</em> yet nothing even come close… until I found this. For a fraction of the price, this works incredibly well for keeping my eyeshadow last all day without creasing. I got mine off eBay, shipped from S.Korea. Definitely should check this out if you’re on the lookout for an eye primer but is cringing at the thought of having to spend that much on Urban Decay. However, if you do have the spare cash, UDPP is still the top of my list to go to. Right now, this Proof 10 Eye Primer has proven to be right on par as my favourite eye primer. <em>Side Note: I have not yet tried the NARS Eye Primer. Heard that one is really good too.</em></p> <p><strong>NARS Satin Lip Pencil – Palais Royal</strong><br>Oh Palais Royal… how have I not met you sooner? I am in love. Not only with the colour, but its texture, its longevity, its overall finish and feel. I love it. I just do. Not the easiest to sharpen, but I’d ignore that because this is an amazing lip product. It has a staining power too but is not too potent to remove at the end of the night. Love. This.</p> <p><strong>Eye of Horus</strong><br>So I am using the mascara, the liquid eyeliner, the goddess eye pencil in both Black and the Serpentine Sultry (which is a antique olive golden shade). Oh my, where have these eye pencils been in my life too!? I love these! They literally stay on all day and night. The first ever eye pencil that really do work with my eyes. The liquid liner is divine, lasts all day too, and super nice to apply. It’s an Australian brand too. I support. I love Eye of Horus. </p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-DJC1yW5wNqI/Ut-5skblC5I/AAAAAAAAEbc/nP9gZz16EHE/s1600-h/IMG_0402%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_0402" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto" alt="IMG_0402" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-JVkyPZ56Na8/Ut-5uDkQP4I/AAAAAAAAEbk/eYB3jZdiF7k/IMG_0402_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="576" height="768"></a></p> <p>Don’t mind me… I’m quite tired, and the heat was not helping. Mind you though, this makeup was not freshly applied (apart from the lip pencil) but it was all still intact and look decent.<em> No photoshop, just natural sun/day/outdoor light.</em> </p> <p align="center"><em><strong>Have you tried any of the product I mentioned?</strong> </em>I can definitely see these as all time favourites now.

This is exactly the case of that. From the moment I saw it, seen how it worked, I just could not argue. These products are here to stay, in the <strong><em>Blushfully’s book of beauty goodness</em></strong>.</p> <p align="justify">Introducing…</p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-IwtIQDIaoDs/UquBWIIZVCI/AAAAAAAAEU8/8EuhUrUj1gM/s1600-h/IMG_0306%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_0306" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto" alt="IMG_0306" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-YRzMXHquLEY/UquBXOplIpI/AAAAAAAAEVE/vtz3TACsxIY/IMG_0306_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="480"></a></p> <p align="justify">This is a handmade soap from the brand <strong>Alexami</strong>, an Australian made mineral makeup and certified organic skincare line. They may be new in the radar (launched in 2009), but already making quite a mark in the beauty industry with their strong focus on empowering and educating women. They strongly believe that <em>beauty should be simple, and what we put on our skin should be in harmony with what Mother Nature has given us (quote: <a href="http://www.alexami.com/about-company-overview.html">Alexami Story</a>)</em>. I couldn’t agree more!</p> <p align="justify">Carrying a variety of other handmade soap, this <strong>Lemon Myrtle & Tea Tree</strong> in particular is a special one. <em>In my eyes, anyway</em>. Not only that the base of it is coconut oil – yum, you know I love coconut. It smells divine… and it is also <strong>anti-bacterial</strong>, making it perfect for hand washing and body washing to rid of all the dirt, germs and grime. I, in particular, love using this to clean my makeup brushes… and this special (<em>dirty in the photo</em>) facial mitt.</p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-1BiM8Ul6Jps/UquBYsT6aqI/AAAAAAAAEVM/bIGbM3KzY7E/s1600-h/IMG_0311%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_0311" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto" alt="IMG_0311" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-8exArEGwvsw/UquBZj5DI3I/AAAAAAAAEVU/7ZAW-BTKY1s/IMG_0311_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="480"></a></p> <p align="justify">This facial mitt has the pH level of that similar to your skin! 5.5! It is made of corn fabric and silk, which makes it a super nice exfoliating mitt without being too harsh on the skin. It also, as seen in the above photo, helps to remove all the dirt and foundation. It really takes it all off! Yay!</p> <p align="justify">But what to do now, now that it’s all gross like that? I use the hard soap. Lather it, massage it well with the mitt… and…</p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Cx7BDH2Nhj4/UquBa2ppkQI/AAAAAAAAEVc/4fN0DZdMBBg/s1600-h/IMG_0313%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_0313" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto" alt="IMG_0313" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-A0eH7HyszL4/UquBb9gzMcI/AAAAAAAAEVk/0boA1a87Yfk/IMG_0313_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="480"></a></p> <p align="center"><em><strong>VOILA!!</strong></em></p> <p align="center">Clean as brand new again!

I mean it, at least for me. Perhaps it’s the texture. Perhaps it’s the cute odd shape. Although, knowing me, it’s most likely be about the taste… and fascination.</p> <a name='more'></a> <p align="justify">They say there’s a saying, “I slept a bagel last night”, due to “bagel” also being a <em>Yeshivish</em> term for sleeping 12 hours straight. In terms of the bread, it would perhaps be a reference to the fact that bagel dough has to “rest” for at least 12 hours between mixing and baking. Impressive, huh? From other source, 12 hours is optimal, though it can even go up to 24 hours. With different parts of the world, they have their own variants on why the name ‘bagel’ come about.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>What is a “bagel”?</strong><br>Traditionally it is shaped by hand into the form of a ring. Roughly the size of the hand, it is made from wheat + yeast dough. It needs to be properly boiled first in water then baked in the oven. When done perfectly, it is a dense, soft interior with browned and sometimes crisp exterior. They could at times be topped with seeds on the outer crust, most common ones used are poppy or sesame seeds. </p> <p>Bagels are popular in the United States. Although it originated from Poland. They may be available frozen or fresh. Even when you buy them fresh, you can freeze them for later use.</p> <p>The shape of the bagel is hundreds of years old. </p></blockquote> <p>What a fresh real bagel should <em><strong>NOT</strong></em> look like…</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-mN7kOdeXsNw/UoQnDDi9O8I/AAAAAAAAER8/WWj3kgl6SoQ/s1600-h/694px-Plain-Bagel%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="694px-Plain-Bagel" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto" alt="694px-Plain-Bagel" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-EI9cR---vt8/UoQnD-mA8eI/AAAAAAAAESA/-pggQ6s6qXw/694px-Plain-Bagel_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="240" height="207"></a></p> <p>The lines are from steaming. This is commercial now. Boiling will not give you the markings.</p> <p align="justify">What a wonderful yummy bagel should look like… I was so happy to get my bagel fix nowadays, especially fresh from the markets.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-XkLt-W-S1xI/UoQnGZ4qD6I/AAAAAAAAESM/YOlmJRuhE-0/s1600-h/2013-11-13%25252012.12.39%25255B12%25255D.jpg"><img title="2013-11-13 12.12.39" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto" alt="2013-11-13 12.12.39" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-le3Z5P_btto/UoQnHymrpAI/AAAAAAAAESU/BsJPrTTPhtY/2013-11-13%25252012.12.39_thumb%25255B9%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="640" height="480"></a></p> <p align="justify">There are so many awesome ways to eat a bagel. My breakfast favourite of a bagel would have to be Blueberry bagel with cream cheese. However for lunch, any of those <em>seeded or onion or garlic bagel</em> with <em>smoked chicken</em> (^_^) is my current favourite. Bagels are also amazing with <em>smoked salmon</em>, <em>bacon</em>, and with <em>salads such as rockets</em>. </p> <p align="justify">So where to go when you are in Brisbane for a good bagel that won’t disappoint? <strong><a href="http://www.thebagelboys.com.au/">The Bagel Boys</a></strong>. </p> <p align="justify">They are Brisbane based, and the flavours they make…</p> <blockquote> <p align="justify">Plain<br>Gluten Free<br>Poppy Seeds<br>Onion<br>Garlic<br>Sesame Seeds<br>Jalapeno<br>Soy & Linseed<br>Rye (with Sunflower Seeds)<br>Blueberry<br>Everything<br>Cinnamon & Raisin</p></blockquote> <p align="justify">Mostly at the markets around Queensland, they also supply a lot of the cafes around Brisbane! What’s awesome is… you can buy fresh from them, then freeze it. I get a whole bag then freeze them all. When I want my bagel fix, or feel like a bagel for breakfast, I’ll heat one up. My easiest and quick way of doing that is… put a small bowl of water in the microwave, then pop your bagel in a bowl (ideally the size of your bagel so your bagel is snug inside the bowl). Depending on the strength of your microwave, I usually heat it up for 1 minute. And<em> wah lah,</em> you’re done with a fresh hot bagel. If you feel like something extra, you can cut the bagel in half, spread some of your favourite butter (may it be standard butter or coconut butter) and pan fry them. The surface with the butter touching the pan, and you would just get that extra oomph and crisp on that side without burning anything. </p> <p align="justify">Well… </p> <p align="justify">There we have it… Just a little “food” post to boost the rest of your week.
