The most super awesome birthday present ever.
EVER.
Thank you so much dear friend. You know who you are.
(^.^)
i can't...

He's supposed to put that oxygen mask onto his face.
TOP and his swag.
I just can't...
lawyer-ed!
Ok that's actually from HIMYM.
I miss BarneyTedRobinMarshallLili.
I used to be so obsessed with the series. Now that Season 8 is said to be their final season, I'm kind of sad which is a reason why I'm stalling the time to watch the final episodes.
='(
Anyway, on another note, I'm actually not a fan of lawyer-ish drama. The US has TONS of lawyer-ish series that I'm too lazy to list.
Nevertheless, it seems I'm already caught up with the latest series on lawyers -'Suits'.
I just love the title. My knees go week everytime I see men in suits. There is something about these guys (or the suits) that makes them look, I don't know.. Hot? Confident? Charismatic? No matter how I see it, it's always the men who wear the suits, not the suits that wear the men. You know what I mean?
So you have an interview? Wear a suit. It compliments your confidence and personality.
Or you're out for a date? Put on a blazer over a nice fitting t-shirt and boom! You're as hot as KPop male celebs! (e.g TOP, Won Bin. LOL!)

The thing is, about this drama 'Suits', I have three different definitions for the title.
First is, of course, the suits every man in the show is wearing. Like, most of the time.
Second, I personally think Gabriel Macht really suits his character 'Harvey Spector'. He seems nasty and nauseatingly over-confident but there are times he needs to take his hat off and I really like the balance of both characteristics. Love love love it!
Finally, the third reason is, well, court suits, which is what the drama is all about -suing one another, saving each other's as*es, threatening anyone that gets in the way... usual stuff in most lawyer-ish series.
So yeah, that's what I think of the series.
I won't say I religiously follow every episode, I did miss few scenes. I don't really bother if I need to go to the loo while it's showing, I just leave the couch.
I guess the storyline doesn't really appeal to me. And I've to say it has weak scripts, just like 'Revenge'. God, Emily VanCamp is super gorgeous and I tried really hard to like the series but I just couldn't!
I was waiting for 'those' lines to come, just like HIMYM, The Godfather, Star Wars, Gossip Girl did...but it never did! I got bored.
So yeah, it's not all about pretty faces that keep me stuck with the show.
Storyline and scripts are just as important.
Why would you watch something for hours but after it ends, you can't even remember a single line worth pondering?

BR: The Face Shop, SkinFood & Nature Republic BB Creams
I
just realized so far I mostly did reviews on facial masks so now I decided to review a
cosmetic product, a product the Korean pioneered –BB Cream.
It’s true that
Koreans really have almost flawless skin as you may see in dramas, regardless
of which gender.
I honestly want their genes.
(*_*)
However, it’s not like
they’re sans make up, they wear BB Cream to look more radiant and unlike normal
foundation, the texture of BB Cream glides easily on skin and looks more
natural.
I went crazy during my Seoul trip and bought seven different types of BB
Creams from various brands.
These are the first three I have started using,
(left to right)
1. The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX BB Cream SPF20 PA++
2. Skinfood Peach Sake Pore BB Cream SPF20 PA+
3. Nature Republic By Flower BB Cream SPF35 PA++
All come with at least SPF20 which is great
because I don’t need to use other sunblock cream.
As you may know, SPF is 'sun protection factor' which protects our skin from UVB ray, the one that causes sunburn.
PA, on the other hand, is protection grade from UVA ray, it may cause long-term skin damage. Thus, the more '+' a product has, the higher protection it has against UVA rays.
Back to the review, the shades are different from
one another but after they ‘melt’ into skin, not much difference at all.
Let’s
review them individually.
The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX
This is quite cheap,
probably around 5kW or RM15 but saw it's sold here for RM29.90 if I’m not
mistaken.
The aftermath:
Glides easily on skin and doesn’t suffocate my skin.
Covers my skin and blemishes quite well.
Cons:
It’s quite oily and runny for
me. I think it suits ones with dry skin so I've passed this to my baby sis.
Skinfood Peach Sake Pore
I cannot remember the price I bought in Seoul but
here it costs RM49.90.
The aftermath:
The peach smell is heavenly! It’s very
easy to apply and thick enough to cover my blemishes.
Cons:
Tube with pump is just very inconvenient, quite difficult to control the amount needed.
I've been using this for awhile and it doesn’t really cover my pores albeit its name.

That or I probably have humongous pores.
(*_*)
Nature Republic By Flower
Again, not sure the price in Seoul but here I
saw it’s sold for RM39.90.
The Aftermath:
The liquid is the thickest among all
three but skin is still breathable. It also covers my blemishes and pores
quite well.
Cons:
Skin needs to be a bit moist before slapping this because of
its thick consistency or it’ll streak on the skin obviously. Not bad and I might
repurchase.
Some have claimed that BB Creams may clog pores worse than normal foundation but with proper cleansing, I believe this problem can be avoided.
I personally prefer BB Creams over foundation now mainly because BB Creams provide me a more natural look.
But it's always up to your preference and skin type and condition.

BR: SkinFood Black Sugar Mask Wash Off
I guess by now you'd realize how obsessed I am with facial mask.
(^.^)
This time it's another mask from SkinFood.
They really have a good range of masks which is a strong reason why I love the brand so much.
I'd usually buy items online because retail can be quite pricey especially when I have the tendency to buy more than I need. LOL! Unless they're having promotion or sale, I rarely visit the store.
The product that I'm about to review is Black Sugar Mask Wash Off.
Black sugar is said to have more minerals than white and brown sugar.
Japanese women actually prefer to eat black sugar than chocolate for comfort during menstrual.

I got a free sample of the product during a purchase (I can't remember where or when) and I actually had heard raves about it way before I got the sample. So I was excited to try it first-hand.
As you can see, its full size comes in a white tub of 100g.
*pic: SkinFood Malaysia website*
The texture was kind off gooey and gross. Didn't smell bad but I was actually hoping for it to smell sweet. You know, sweet like sugar.
(*_*)
How to use:
Referring to the package, "after cleansing, gently massage over wet face. Avoid eye area. Rinse off."
I got a bit confused here. When I browsed the website, it's written to leave the mask for about 10-15 minutes before rinsing. The sample probably forgot to state that. LOL!
Anyway, I used it while my face was still a bit wet. As I massaged it onto my skin, the tiny granules sort of dissolved so I left it for 15 minutes.
The aftermath:
My face felt super smooth!
And kind of plumpy that I couldn't stop touching and patting my face.
Usually after a scrub, my face would feel a bit tight but not for this one! Love it!
The cons:
It didn't remove my blackheads, though.
I think it works better as scrub, not mask.
GMarket goodies!
This actually arrived a looooooong time ago but I had just found the pictures so thought of sharing them here.
It's my first purchase from GMarket Korea through a spree. I waited for about a month for the package to arrive.
As you may see, I bought four facial masks from two brands -TonyMoly & Baviphat. I'm not sure whether both brands are available in Malaysia or not.
The tubs are super duper adorable! I just couldn't resist them!
From left:
TonyMoly EggPore Tightening Pack, RM30.50
TonyMoly Crispy Green Tea Pack, RM30.50
Baviphat Apple AC Sleeping Mask, RM31
Baviphat Strawberry Toxifying Mask, RM29
The others were free gifts/ samples from seller.
I honestly believe the third mask should be 'DEtoxifying mask'. Who would ever want to 'toxify' their skin?!
(*_*)
Anyway, I am soooooo gonna keep these tubs after finishing the contents to keep my pins, brooches, coins, buttons etc.
Super cute!
