My 5 favourite daily lipsticks under RM30!

Hi! As a student, of course I'd like to find affordable makeups, especially lipsticks! So here are my five favourite daily lipsticks, under RM30!


1) Essence Long Lasting Lipstick in 07 Natural Beauty (RM13.90)



I've blogged about it here. The colour is very natural to the lips, not too pink, not too nude. The finishing is creamy tapi takdelah sampai melekit and really moisturizing, however it is not really pigmented so kena apply dua tiga lapis, but I looooove the colour! The packaging is also sturdy. Tak nampak murah!

Looks a bit glossy, because it is creamy. You can get it at any Watsons that carries Essence. I bought mine at Watsons Jusco Cheras Selatan for only RM13.65 (sebab diskaun hehehe), Watsons je tau, Guardian takde.

2) NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in Tea Rose (RM19)

Because it is also creamy, it is very moisturizing. Its a bit pinkish to compare with the Essence's one, but it still looks natural for daily use. I don't really like the smell, but it doesn't lingers after you apply it, so okay lah.

You can get it at Sephora (rasanya ada lagi, sebab dah lama dah beli, among my first ever lipstick hehehe)

3) Catrice's Ultimate Colour Lipstick in 020 Maroon (RM21.90)
I love the packaging, rasa mahal and penutup dia ketat, susah nak terbuka bila campak dalam bag. It is pigmented, beautiful shade, and the smell is sooo nice, however because it is creamy, it bleeds out of the lips, senang terkeluar dari landasan bibir haha so, wearing lip liner is a must.

The colour is very very natural for my lips. You can get it at any Guardian that carries Catrice. I got mine at One Utama for only RM19++ sebab diskaun hehe. Guardian je tau, Watsons takde.

4) Wet n Wild Megalast Lipstick in Bare It All. (RM24)
I have this love-hate relationship with this lipstick. I hate the packaging, bila pegang memang rasa murah, penutup dia ya rabbi senang terbuka, that is why there are stains on the cap, habis kotor my makeup bag. However, the finishing is matte, so pigmented, so beautiful, and so cheap. I really love how the lipstick appears on my lips. But the packaging, and the smell, urghhh!

This lipstick is also the dupe for MAC Velvet Teddy. almost the same shade, but of course, way cheaper. If you don't want to fork out RM74 for MAC Velvet Teddy, buy this one! I bought mine from twitter for only RM18 hehe but you can get it at SaSa for around RM24. It used to be RM22.90 tapi dah naik harga. Or you can find them online for only around RM16-RM18. Yes.

5) NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm (RM29)
I think everyone owns at least one NYX SMLC. My favourite is Stockholm. I love the color, natural on my lips, not too nude, not too pink, it's like soft peach. It's creamy, however it gives matte finishing on your lips. I love the smell, it's like vanilla!

I love the finishing of this lipstick. You can get it at Sephora. However, the lipstick is always out of stock at Sephora. Dah nak habis dah, cepatlah restock please Sephora!

Macam biasa, pinjam tangan suami to do the swatches. From left, NYX SMLC in Stokholm, Wet N Wild in Bare It All, Catrice in Maroon, NYX in Tea Rose, Essence in Natural Beauty.


So, that's all. I'm all natural lipstick kind of girl. That is why semua lipstick nak dekat sama je warna hahaha. 

Thanks for reading!

Resepi Ayam Padprik Simple

Potong ayam kecik kecik.

Goreng ayam sampai masak. Pastu angkat.

Hiris bawang merah, 4 ulas bawang putih, serai, halia.

Tumis bahan bahan hiris tadi dalam bekas yang sama goreng ayam. Tumis sampai naik bau.


Masukkan dua-tiga sudu cili boh. 

Masukkan gula, sebab taknak bagi pedas sangat cili tu hehehe #KelantanInMe

Kacau kacau sampai cili masak pastu masukkan ayam.

Potong sayur! Sukahati nak masukkan mushroom ke, carrot ke, suka hati. Taknak pun takpe.

Masukkan sayur.

Masukkan daun limau purut, barulah nama dia ayam padprik. Kalau tak masukkan limau purut, jadi ayam masak merah serai. Kalau tak masuk serai, jadi ayam masak merah. Pastu ayam masak merah tu kalau kurangkan cili boh then masukkan kicap, jadilah ayam masak kicap. Basic dia lebih kurang je. #Tips

Tambah asam jawa nak bagi masam sikit, sos cili ke, tomato ke, oyster sauce ke ha sukahati ikut taste sendiri.

Masukkan garam and perencah sesedap rasa.

K siap dah ayam padprik! Dah pi cuba masak!

Fuego Troika Sky Dining Review

16 October 2015 hari tu birthday suami yang ke 23 (Dah lebih tiga bulan baru nak blog zzzzz hahaha) so I decided nak pergi tempat romantik sikit. Acah acah buat surprise lah. Dia kena book dulu sebelum nak pergi, book dekat website je. Lepastu special request, nak duduk tepi railing (sebab nak view cantikk!). Dia ada dua session, 6.30pm and 8.30pm. I choose pukul 6.30pm sebab nak tengok sunset.

View dia antek ngaaaaat. Rasa nak duduk sini forever hadap view ni.


Fuego ni dekat tingkat 23, dekat bangunan The Troika, Tower B. Ada banyak lagi restaurant dekat Troika Skydining ni, Strato, Claret, Cantaloupe dengan Fuego. Fuego ni best sebab dia outdoor so view lagi cantik.


Lighting gelap kemain tau, tak nampak makanan. Ni Soft Shell Crab as Nachos, RM35. Belakang tu lupa dah apa tapi beef lah.

Yang ni PALING SEDAP. Berries Pavlova, RM35. Rasa nak pergi Fuego lagi semata mata nak makan Pavlova ni je.


Selfie satu sementara tunggu makanan walaupun lighting dia kemain teruk...


Gambar wajib! 

Service: 5/5
Waiter sangat helpful, lepastu dia cakap yang mana ada wine or not, boleh request makanan taknak wine, lepastu serving speed laju jugak, and waiters dia takdehal nak layan ambilkan gambar.

View: 5/5
Like, obviously! View paling best.

Food: 4/5
Pavlova dia je best, yang lain rasa biasa je lah. Takde lah nak repeat.

Harga dekat website dia dah list, lepastu minimum spend kat sini, sorang RM100. 

Address: Level 23a, Tower B, The Troika, 19 Persiaran KLCC, 50450 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Phone:+60 3-2162 0886

Cameron Highland Trip 2015

Day 1

Bangun pagi pagi semangat nak pi Cameron ni, pukul 10 am janji tunggu dekat tangga besar UIA, tunggu Muja & Muadz pickup from Kuantan. Lepastu lalu PLUS, guna waze. Waze kata Exit dekat Sungkai, lepastu masuk PLUS balik, baru exit Tapah. Kalau straight Tapah, jam. Lepastu bergaduh dalam kereta, nak ikut waze exit Sungkai #TeamSungkai or nak straight je redah sampai Tapah #TeamTapah . I #TeamSungkai so menang 3 vs 2, so kena lalu Sungkai hahaha.

Yes, itu dia driver dan co driver kita!


Tol Damansara-Sungkai RM14.10. Lepastu masuk PLUS semula lalu Bidor, exit Tapah, so Bidor-Tapah tol RM2. Total tol RM16.10 sehala.

Dah exit Tapah, get ready jalan mabuk nak naik Cameron sepanjang 60km. Seriously mabuk rasa menyesal eksaited nak pi Cameron. Tapi terlajak perahu boleh diundur, terlajak naik Cameron no patah balik.... *tidur*

Ladang Teh Boh, Brinchang (Free entrance)

Bukak je mata, eh dah sampai hahaha tak guna betul Iman. Took us around 3 jam setengah from Gombak to Cameron. First stop, Ladang Teh Boh. Jalan rasa tak berpijak di bumi yang nyata sebab baru bangun tidur and mabuk and lapar tak makan dari pagi. Lepastu emo woi kenapa takde siapa bagitahu nak naik ladang teh ni kena mendaki tinggi, penaaaat! Kenapa takde cable car??? K emo sensorang takde sape nak layan hahaha

"Sabar lah Sayang, Abang kan ada" ---> Realitinya tak cakap gini pun zzz

Nasib baik view cantik, boleh tangkap gambar bebanyak. 100 markah!

Lepas dah puas tangkap gambar, perut pun lapar cari makan, sebaik dekat Tanah Rata ada makanan panas, so order Nasi Ayam satu untuk alas perut.

Then check in dekat Fathers Guest House, best sebab dia macam rumah tapi ada bebanyak bilik so boleh pilih bilik mana, kitorang suami isteri ambil bilik yang toilet dekat dalam, RM120 satu malam and memang selesa and best sebab first time duduk guest house, so rasa wow bestnya rasa cam backpackers okays.

Our room.

Dekat luar ada tempat lepak siap boleh buat kopi and teh haa best kan

Living room boleh lepak kat sini

Big Red Strawberry Farm (Free entrance)


Motif utama dia, nak makan bebenda camni lah and tak mahal sangat pun. Range macam RM6-RM7 camtu je rasanya. 

Lavender Farm (Entrance fee RM6)

Pergi ni nak dekat maghrib. Katanya ada drama dalam kereta tapi biasalah I tidur je sepanjang perjalanan hahaha bukak mata je eh dah sampai hmm okay tapi lighting tak best aaaa sebab dah gelap so gambar tak cantikkkk

Brinchang Night Market

Ni paling best sebab banyak strawberry and makanan sesedap, LOVE. 

Ais krim strawberry wajib ok. RM1 satu.

Balik guesthouse, lepak dekat meja makan sambil gegossip pastu tidur!

Day 2

Bangun pagi pagi, pastu suruh the guys lepak la korang, girls nak buat benda penting which is, MAKEUP. Menuntut ilmu makeup dengan Muja jap, sesiap, and terus pergi MARDI.

The only product yang nampak kat muka are Mary Lou Manizer and MAC Twig je. K.

Terus packing and pergi MARDI. Sementara tu the guys tangkap gambar amenda tah pepagi, gigih betul tau.

 Last gambar dekat our guesthouse.

MARDI Cameron Highland (Entrance fee RM3)
 Wajib pi makan ais krim strawberry sundae yang sedap ngat dah lah RM2,50 je satu lepastu sedap kalah McD. And then ada banyak bunga bunga, rasa nak bawak balik je bunga sebab cantik sangaaaaat.

Gambar dekat luar MARDI.

Lepas pergi MARDI, kitorang pun balik tapi naik bas from Cameron Highland-KL Sentral, RM35/sorang. Naik bas tak sampai 5 mins, terus tidur, bangun bangun dah sampai KL Sentral hahaha hardcore betul tapi at least boleh skip mabuk turun Cameron tu!

So thats all. Overall budget around RM250 je untuk dua orang, dua hari satu malam. Just a short getaway. Lastly, nah short video ni. Maafkan beginner baru belajar edit video k and jangan lupa tekan high resolution xoxo. Bye! Btw kalau nak baca blog Muja ha tekan sini k.


My Essence Haul


I am totally in love with Essence! First, sebab dia murah. Like reaaaally murah! Secondly, walaupun dia murah, but the quality is good! Ni sebenarnya dah beli last month lagi. Semua beli dalam masa sehari ha amek kau. Essence ni dekat Watsons je tau, Guardian takde.

1. I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara (RM16.90)
Love it! (Yelah sebab dia warna pink kann..) Tapi kadang kadang dia clumping but okay lah for beginner like me. Cuma kena curl kan dulu eyelashes before applying this, or not, nanti eyelashes jatuh sebab berat (?)

2. Eyeliner Pen Waterproof (RM16.90)
Better than Catrice's. Okay je lah.

3. Silky Touch Blush (RM15.90)
Dia ada enam shades tapi I beli dua je, one is Adorable and the other one is Summer Dreaming.

4. Soo Glow! Cream To Powder Highlighter in 20 Bright Up Your Life (RM16.90)
The texture is creamy tapi bila letak dekat muka, dia nampak macam powder. Malas nak pakai sebab dia tak lekat kalau pakai brush, so kena pakai dengan jari, pastu malas. Tapi untuk cheap highlighter, it works lah.

Pinjam tangan suami nak buat swatches (thanks baby hahaha)

5. Long Lasting Lip Liner (RM8.90)
Dah ada warna gelap so beli natural one, code 05 Lovely Frappucino and 07 Plum Cake. I wanted to buy the Satin Mauve one (the one people have been raving about) tapi ya rabbi semua Watsons dah out of stock! So yang paling dekat dengan Satin Mauve is Plum Cake. I love both of the colours!

6. Long Lasting Lipstick (RM13.90)

I love the lipsticks sebab murah and warna cantik cantik! The texture is creamy. 

Semua lipstick yang penting. Red, pink and natural. I personally love Natural Beauty. Its my everyday lipstick to class!

The swatches, cam biasa pinjam tangan suami hehehe


I'm wearing I Love Extreme Mascara (tapi tak nampak pun dalam gambar zzz) and the Long Lasting Lipstick in 07 Natural Beauty.
