Highlights of Instagram Vol. 7 : A Brush with Travel

instagram week 7

Wooh! How quickly the weeks fly by, and before we know it, we just ended the first quarter of 2014! How was it for you guys? Did you have a good start to the year? Or was it kicking you in the butt?

I pretty much got kicked around the first few months of 2014 but the thing is that when you’re down, you can’t get much lower so the best thing to do is pick yourself up and continue on your journey. It’s the best way to stay sane and remember, positivity breeds positivity! No matter how dark the clouds might seem.

On that rather ruminative note, here’s some highlights of what I’d been up to on Instagram in the past fortnight. There’s lots more of course, but I don’t want to bore you so here are just some of my favourites. Continue Reading

Budget Beauty: 10 Things I love that cost under RM50

62 Comments

budget buys under RM50

RM50, depending on how you look a it, can take you far (I could eat for a week on RM50!) or it isn’t very much. RM50 at today’s exchange rate is roughly S$20, £10,  US$16 or €13. Yeah, once we do the math, it looks pretty pathetic LOL! 😛

Yet, RM50 can buy me some of my favourite beauty items or pick me ups, with change to boot! I know I talk a lot about department store brands and pricier (ok, expensive!) products on my blog. What can I say? Its a personal preference! 😉 But there are some affordable budget buys that I like too, and I thought I’d share them with you. I think RM50 is a nice budget friendly amount. Not hard on the wallet for most, and if you have a small budget or are a student it should be a good threshold.

I will pick up a group of items from time to time to tell you about the budget items I like that you could quite easily pick up without hurting your wallet too much. All items featured will cost RM50 or under.  Take a look and chip in if you think there’s a budget buy I should be taking a look at 🙂

What’s in my makeup and skincare pouch? The Beach Holiday Edition

54 Comments

Ladies! I’m just back from a relaxing holiday by the beach and am only just starting to get back into the swing of things. You know, holidays are both a bane and a boon. I’m thankful for them for recharging and yet, you know that post-holiday slump we all fall into? Yeah I’m in that slump now. I hope you’ve had lots to read here on MWS to keep you occupied over the past few days while I get back on the bandwagon and on track 🙂

So since I had nothing planned for today’s post, here, have a peek at what I took with my on my short holiday by the sea where I pretty much did nothing but sit on the beach, soak up some sun, stuff my face silly with food and just generally relax 🙂

Roll on Garnier Light BB Eyes Roll-On, Begone Dark Circles!

26 Comments

I’ve run out of my #1 undereye concealer/highlighter (Dior Skinflash #002 if you’re wondering) for a little while and haven’t gotten round to buying a replacement. I’m sort of tardy that way and was recently gifted with #001 by a friend who didn’t know what to do with hers, so yay! 😉 001 is quite different from 002 though, so if anyone is seriously considering trying the Dior Skinflash, I suggest you get 002 for the undereye area.

Anyway, rambling aside, I went digging in my stash to see what I could find to replace it temporarily, and I spotted the Garnier Light BB Eye Roll-on. Ah! I remember Xin raving about it before it appeared on our shelves, so I decided to see if it would do the job.

To my surprise, it does. And seriously, for something this inexpensive, it does a very good job at that! 🙂
