Elevate: Feel The Difference

I don't remember when was the last time I blogged about me attending an event! Given on my presence situation, I could hardly attend one even if I have an invitation. So I was presented an opportunity last week to attend the most happening scene between my reached at Legato Bistro & Bar, Johor. I have to say, most happening events will never make their way to the Southern area. There's usually in either KL or Penang. So thumbs up to the ELEVATE who make the difference of the night life in Johor!!

Trust me, I am not a party girl. With 10 fingers, you can count how many times I've been to a club. (Okay, probably with toes only =p) The event was held at Legato Bistro & Bar, Skudai, Johor. Initially the bar is quite new and this event could also consider as their grand opening. ^_^

Beauty Box Series: First in Malaysia - Fabulous Finds

Beauty box subscription has been a real business in our beauty world. Those have been reading my blog know that I'm all with this beauty box subscription craze! We've been admiring our neighbor country friends who get to received a beauty box every month for a period of time. And guess what?? The craze had now reached our shores. Approximately one month ago, Fabulous Finds had their launching event being the First Beauty Box Subscription in Malaysia. (Sadly, I wish I could be there ='( ) 

Excited ain't cha?? The most common question asked: how beauty box subscription works?? Every month, you need to pay a certain subscription fee amount for a box which inclusive of 4 - 5 beauty samples and products to deliver to your doorsteps.

My first impression was the package is huge!! The coral pink box is so cute and pretty!! After unboxing the box, you'll find the actual box hidden in there. Initially, the pink box are used to deliver and protect the actual box. Honestly, the way they packed the box are so similliar to the other beauty boxes that I've reviewed. 

June Project Pan

I've been a good girl trying to finish my product in my stash now and then before it actually expires. I am quite amazed that I actually 6 products in the month of June. And most exciting is that I actually finished 2 of my cosmetics!! Aww~ It really took a hard work for a beauty junkie like me to finish it up. ^_^

Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Cream SPF 26 PA++

I can't believe I actually finished it. It is my first ever makeup base that I've hit the pan so far. I've been using it everyday to work and I am lovin' it. Check out my review on Maybelline BB Cream >>> click here and see why I love it so much.

Repurchase: Yes but with the higher SPF.

Review: Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Cream

BB creams better known as Blemish Balm is pretty much the a product with all of foundation, concealer, moisturizer, primer and etc. I've stopped using BB creams for months because those BB creams I have in my stash tends to oxidize and turn greyish on me. It was a nightmare when I started realize it clogged my pores!! I decided to pick up this tube during Watsons sale. No harm trying this drugstore product right?

They say:

Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Cream 8-IN-1 Skin Transformer. Our instant skin perfecting Cream is a perfect blend of 8 minerals ingredients. Our unique shade instantly improves and perfects your skin:

• Covers imperfections: reduces the appearance of pores, skin redness disappears
• Moisturizes + Protects: all day hydration + helps to protect skin from UV rays and free radical

This BB cream comes in a little plastic green of 18ml tube. Seriously 18ml seems very little eh??
The tube comes with a twist-to-open cap and a small nozzle. The small nozzle helps to control the amount of product when you squeeze.

Beauty Box Series: Bellabox Singapore July Edition

Those who have been reading my blogs, you should know that I am on the beauty box-craze. We have Bellabox, Vanity Trove and Glamabox here in Singapore. And I've stopped subscribing on Glamabox since May. Read why here >>>  here.  

Both Bellabox and Vanity Trove are pretty much my favorite. But when time goes by, people expecting more and more from these beauty box companies and they have to take a move to upgrade and fulfilled the consumers' needs. 

During June, Bellabox had decided to increased their price from $15/month to $19.95/month. Which much more and more premium brands in the box, some must have wonder is it worth to pay an extra $5 more?? The new rate will starts from August onwards. Let's see how this July box flares.

Updates through Instagram

It's been a while since I really sit in front of my computer and blog. I should possibly consider on a 9-5 office job now (so I could blog) LOL! Back to our topic today, it's been a trend now that almost everyone of us update our pictures daily through Instagram. I see it will become another Facebook one day. =P

As life's been really busy, I would also love to keep updates with everyone of you now and then. I'll be sharing my updates through Instagram - add me @slowbrogal !! =)

Most pictures below I've posted at either Instagram or Facebook.

Have you checked out all three different texture of Maybelline BB Cream? Noticed the one in the middle? It is the newly launched Maybelline BB Clear Stick. It is a love.

May Project Pan

Sorry for being MIA for quite a time. Time flies so fast that we're now half a year toward 2012. Wondering what will happened when December 2012 is coming around the corner. Anyway, I decided to share the products that I've frequently used and finished. Let's called it my Monthly Project Pan. This could also encourage me to finish my products before I made another unnecessary purchase. 

For the month of May, I’ve finished about 8 products and most of them consist of my skincare. Well, skincare always the easier to hit-the-pan. Ain’t you think so?

Shiseido Aqualabel White Up Emulsion

This is actually my second bottle. I mentioned in my previous post here, that Aqualabel is a sister drugstore brand of Shiseido. So far I am lovin’ the emulsion. It hydrates my skin very well and absorb very quickly without feeling greasy and oily.

Repurchase: Yes. I have already stock up the emulsion. ^_^
