Best Face Mask Ever (So Far): Skin Food Bitter Green Clay Soothing Mask

Not to be confused with the best face scrub ever (but is called a mask)!



February Skin Care Routine That Really Works For My Skin



Prior to mid last year, I was the kind of person who faithfully stick to a skin-care range for as long as I could, come rain or shinethat is, until my skin started to breakout like CRAZY (which I had copiously described in this NARS concealer post). That was when I realised no matter how vigorously I maintain the "right" skin care routine, my facial skin is not excused from hormonal imbalance or allergic reaction.

In turn, I had a strong reaction to that realisation by going from "safe and boring" (having only one to two brands in a skin care routine) to "Imma just experiment the heck out of this!!!" (trying out any product I desirethose with high ratings, of course).

What I'd Probably Wear If I Work At An Office

But since I don't (work at an office, that is), I'm just going to wear the outfit on a day out during the weekend, because why not. LOVE the trumpet sleeves on this striped top, by the way, and such a gem sales find at RM 40, which is like 10 USD (!).



I'm very much into these ribboned …

Currently Using These Makeup Removers...

Every time I purchased a bottle of the pricey Shu Uemura Skin Purifier Cleansing oil, I seemed to run out of it at a pace my wallet definitely did NOT appreciate. As much as it's worth the price, after my last bottle emptied I decided to go rogue and try out drugstore cleansing oils for makeup-removing, dabbling with the purple Biore onenot a fan of thisand the blue and green Neutrogena ones which I found to be kind of meh, so I continued to be on the lookout for a good, affordable product.


Althea, the online destination for Korean beauty and makeup, has pretty much sponsored my skin care for the month of February by sending a huge box filled with "surprise" beauty goodies (and to a bunch of other bloggers too, in case anyone thinks I'm special), and in the box arrived two makeup-removing productsso convenient for me, guys.

How I Do The Track Pants Trend

I mean, did anyone actually predicted that side-striped track pants would be considered stylish some day? Gotta love the unpredictability in fashion! But in all seriousness, I'm sure that without the undeniable existence of conformism in fashion, the track pants would be a trend that is unanim…

InstaLiyana: January 2017 + IFB Links à la Mode, February 16th

I feel like plenty of people regard January as one of their least favourite months, possibly due to the facts that it's the month after Christmas and also one of the coldest months in the calendar for a lot of countries. Since my birthday falls on 13 January every year, it's obviously my m…

Who Wore It Better: Me or...Me?

I repeat outfits that I particularly like all the time because, first of all, it's the practical thing to do, and I'm not entire without practicality, am I? (Answer: If it seems otherwise, I'm really not, I promise.) Plus, there's the question of not being able to afford a hu-u-u-g…

Benefit Gimme Brow Volumizing Eyebrow Gel & Ka-Brow! Eyebrow Cream-Gel Color

I have this love-dislike relationship with my eyebrows; I suppose it's easier to say I have good days and bad days with them. Doesn't everybody, though...? But seriously, 'Good Brow Days' have now come around more often because of these Benefit products, so two thumbs up! (Or two b…

How I Do 'Total Lady': Reds & Heels

Once in a while it's kind of nice to feel like a total lady, too, right? I've ditched my ripped jeans and sneakers for skirt and heels, and also added an oxblood mesh split dress underneath my red knit just for "something extra". Although, I must stress the "once in a while&…

Retro Vibes

I racked my brain for other ways to wear the pants from this striped set because seriously striped cigarette pants are REALLY hard to style, as I had just discovered with these particular striped ones! I can honestly say I have more flattering pants than them in my wardrobe (on me, that is) but I …

My First Converse All Star

Is it surprising, to not have owned a pair of Converse when you claim to be such a sneakers lover?
Actually, it probably isn't; I might just like Adidas a tad too much, seeing as 97% of my sneakers collection consists of Superstars and Stan Smiths...

Originally I was dead set on getting a pair…
