Pretty, Sexy, Beautiful Eyes Blogging Contest

You must wondering why on the earth that this small eyes Cynthia define her eyes as pretty, sexy and beautiful. The worst is she's in a blogging contest. Lol! To be honest, I am born with small eyes (inner double eyelid to be exact). So those pretty, sexy and beautiful are too far NOT in my dictionary. =(  Nevertheless, I was given a chance to dream having a pretty, sexy and beautiful eyes. What do you think eh?? Lol! (Scroll down to see how)

Whatever it is, it's not important. The most important subject I would like to talk about is my discovery of Mr.Lens! MrLens is the largest online contact lens reseller in Switzerland and parts of Europe! They're going global and has reach Asia which is now available in Malaysia too!!

MrLens are the largest online inventory of contact lenses at the lowest price in Malaysia. When I said lowest price, yes it is. My usual contact lens I bought are way cheaper about RM25/box!! I am not lying as I've been to this particular lens for years and very familiar with their pricing. You may check out from their website. And so you got a loyal customer from now on Mr.Lens!! =D =D *wallet-smilling* 

I AM BACK!!!

I've been neglecting my blog for the past few months which I need to apologize to all my readers. It's almost two months life's been too happening between this period. My greatest impact of all was the lost of my beloved aunt (dad's side). Wouldn't want to elaborate much on that, but I guess it was a relieve for her to be a better place (Heaven).

Not much hauls on beauty this month. Approximately 2 weeks ago, I was invited for a Spa-ty with Vanity Trove at Masego Spa. The best part about this was everyone of us got a 60 mins of hot stone back massage from Masego Spa. (A great way to relieve stress for me).

If you girls ever wonder what is Vanity Trove, it is a beauty box subscription that they delivered to your house every month and it's now available in Malaysia. Do check out my previous review here. There are definitely one of my favorite beauty box subscriptions among all that available here.

Speaking of beauty boxes, I have subscribe to Vanity Trove, BellaBox and Glamabox every month. Till date now, I plan to cancel one of them that kinda disappointed me for a number of times. Here's some sneakpeak of what we got in each different boxes for the month of April.

The Vanity Trove!! 

The box itself smells so good~~ 

And they gave us two full size products this month which is worth the price I paid for!!

Dupe Alert: NARS Blush & Bronzer Duo vs. ELF Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder.

Its a leap year!! And its only happens once every 4 years. That's the reason why I should post this highly requested dupe alert from my readers. =p

Speaking of dupe alert, there's so much comparison of my favorite brand NARS out there. NARS is one of the top notch cosmetic brand that actually drugged most of the girls out there. (Say yesss.... =) ) If you couldn't get your pocket to afford NARS, will ELF be a better choice for you?

So today, we'll have an argument with my lovely NARS Blush & Bronzer Duo and the dupe alternative ELF Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder.

NARS Blush & Bronzer Duo, a makeup masterpiece and my all-time-favorite product. Who would come with an ideal of having a blusher and bronzer together?? Initially this US$40 masterpiece is too far from cheap. So the ideal of blusher and bronzer came in from a drugstore product - ELF Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder to rescue our pocket.

Review: ELF Studio Cream Eyeshadow in Eggplant

ELF (Eyes Lips Face) is one of my favorite budget- cosmetic products. Their Studio Line products has been a hype in the blogging world. I never really into eyeshadow products, but I bought this ELF Studio Cream Eyeshadow quite long ago after reading lots of raves online. 

They says: 
" Line, shade and contour your eyes with this ultra pigmented and creaseless cream shadow. Easy to blend for layering and building color. The silky smooth and smudge-proof formula provides long lasting color for a beautiful look all day. "

Vanity Trove: Beautiful Surpises to Malaysia!!

Finally, beauty box subscription arrived in Malaysia!!! Beauty boxes have been one of the latest trends around in the blog-sphere.  We have brands like Birchbox (US), Glossybox (UK), Glamabox (HK), Fukubukuro (Japan), Bellabox and now Vanity Trove hit Malaysia!! =)) Excited ain't you??

How beauty box subscription works? Every month, you need to pay a certain subscription fee amount for this box which contained beauty samples and products selected for you. After so, you only have to wait for them to deliver this beautiful surprises to your doorsteps. Ladies who love surprises will definitely love it!!! You won't have a single ideas of what's inside the parcel until you open it up. Isn't it sounds so fun?? 

Honestly, I really like how they packed their boxes. The white large box is sturdy and very thick in quality. I love how we have to pull-out the items in like a drawer. And then, you'll see things wrapped nicely under the beautiful pink tissue-paper.

And so, they even inserted a beautiful small note from the editor team telling you about the box and products in!! The theme was 'A New Beginning, A New You'. It's definitely a way to Welcome 2012 and welcome Vanity Trove to Malaysia! Besides that, they included a list of the products with description so you won't be so blur on what and how to use the product inside the box. =)

And here's what we got for the January's Vanity Trove!!

(No wonder the box are quite a weight)

And here you got a few samples of beauty products. Some of them is very new to me!! Definitely an exciting box for those who wanna try them on but afraid to pay for the full products in case it doesn't work. =D =D

Review & Swatches: Urban Decay Naked 2 palette!!

FINALLY!! The Urban Decay Naked 2 palette is on my hands!! I knew there's too many reviews and swatches around, but I will still do it to share with you girls =P (You can feel how excited I am?) The hype of the first Naked Palette from Urban Decay was a successful one. So when Urban Decay introduced Naked 2 (USD50), I wasn't too surprised. But what surprise me was the name. Naked 2?? You bet!

The new Naked 2 palette comes in a sturdy metal packaging which includes 12 gorgeous neutral eyeshadows with a double-ended brush and a mini lip gloss. 

This palette were sold at US$50. Do you think it's worth for the price tag? Let's see with 12 full size eyeshadow worth $204, $24 worth of brush, $6 worth of lip gloss, it come up with a total $234. Definitely yes just like the previous palette.

When I first got this, I am in love with the sturdy metal packaging. The wording Naked 2 is so much better than my original Naked palette. That's because my original Naked palette wording started to fade off after it aggressively travel along with me. Other than that, I do not have any issues with Naked 1 palette.
