Review
This Black Pearl & Gold Hydrogel Eyepatch are recommended for people who want to reduce the wrinkles around eye area, concern with dark eye circle, want to have a moisture skin and increase skin vitality. Of course, we want all of it!
Again, I use this almost everyday especially for my night skin care routine. After toner, I’ll apply this eye patch and then follow by the others. Same like the Gold & EGF Eye & Spot Patch, it’s very cooling and soothing. I feel relaxed when putting this eye patch on.The eye patches is very hydrating and moisture with a lot of essence in it. Once opening, it’s recommended to use within two months. It contains 60 patches, for everyday-use in a month you can finish it. It’s recommended to use within two months because it contains high level of essence (you can feel it’s dripping out). If it’s store more than two months, you can feel the dryness of it.
However, this patches do give me a slight sting feeling like the Gold & EGF Eye & Spot Patch as well. Luckily, it’s doesn’t bring any irritation or sensitivity issues. I believe because the under eye area can be very tender and soft, so when the patches are cool it reacts that way.
For the scent, again it’s same like the Gold & EGF Eye & Spot Patch. It has a very strong floral scent(which some of you may not like it) but it’s not that strong until it can cause you to sneeze. It’s a hydrogel eye patches, so it’s a thick gel like texture. The shape for this is slightly bigger compare to the other one. So, it can cover a bigger area.
Will I repurchase? Yes, I will. Although the results is not so obvious but I find that it helps to relax my tired eyes. The price of it is very reasonable, so i think I’ll take the pay for it.
Wanna try the  Petitfee – Black Pearl & Gold Hydrogel Eyepatch, buy it at Hermo for RM29.00 or at Amazon for US$10.25.
Hope you enjoy reading my post.

BEDTIME YOGA! RELAXING YOGA POSES FOR BETTER SLEEP

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Do you guys have the same problems like me? Difficult to fall into sleep at night…. It’s always my headache at night. Sleep is very important for us. I know it’s time for me to go to bed, but I just can’t. I feel so tired and sleepy during the day, while during the night I’m just like an active owl.
I have tried counting the sheep (it just getting me bored but not sleepy), drink some tea to relax, listening to bedtime music…. Sadly, none of it works. Some of the tricks do make me sleep, but definitely not a good sleep. Until recently, I read an article from Popsugar.com about 9 Relaxing Stretches You Can Do in Bed. The results… Is a WOW!!! My mind and body is way more relax and I get to walk into my dreamland so easily. I get a full solid sleep every night. 
I decided to share all the yoga poses with you guys! *Original article are from Popsugar.com 
None of the yoga or stretch poses need you to do it on your yoga mat. Here are nine stretches you can do in your pajamas and your bed — either before you go to sleep or once your alarm goes off — or both! Do all nine if you have time, or just pick a few. Either way, you’ll feel more relaxed, whether you’re heading to the land of nod or waking with the sun.
  • SPINAL TWIST

-Stay like this for 30 seconds or more, feeling your spine lengthen and twist. You may even hear some cracks.
-Use your abs to lift your knees back to center, and repeat on the other side

HOW TO: PICK THE RIGHT TOOL TO APPLY FOUNDATION

Hello everyone, recently I have came across an article about  How To: Pick the Right Tool to Apply Foundation from Makeup.com. I find that the article is very interesting and informative. Thus, I decided to share with you girls.
*Main article has been edited and retained information are from Makeup.comhow-to-pick-the-right-foundation-tool-bopOne of the questions that will pop up every time when we apply foundation is, whether we should use our fingers, a brush, or a sponge to apply foundation. My answer? All three methods work, as long as you know how and when to use each technique. Here are some guidelines to get you started.

BRUSH

A foundation brush should be used when applying liquid foundation to the face. A brush will give you a flawless finish without wasting a lot of your product, and it also blends much more evenly than your fingers will. While you can apply liquid foundation with your fingers, you’ll end up spending more time blending, and usually the results won’t match up to a brush’s ability to smooth and perfect. Invest in a quality foundation brush and wash it regularly. This will increase the longevity of the brush and make the most of your money!

SPONGE

The Beauty Blender Sponge is one of my favorite tools for blending foundation and concealer on the skin. This is a great tool to use after you have applied foundation to your face, but want to make sure all areas are buffed to perfection. It also has a tip point that makes blending around the nose and eyes extremely easy if your brush didn’t quite get to those areas. The sponges that you want to avoid using for application are the white triangular shaped ones. These actually absorb the foundation immediately, causing you to use more. Utilizing a sponge to help blend instead of applying the product will give you much better results.

FINGERS

The best time to use your fingers is when applying light tinted moisturizers or BB creams. Since this texture is almost like a moisturizer, the finish is extremely natural, making it easy to achieve an even skin tone by hand. The most important thing to remember when using your fingers is to make sure they are clean! Wash your hands before every application to avoid spreading oil, dirt, and germs to your face.

HOW DO YOU LIKE TO APPLY YOUR FOUNDATION?

Let me know in the comments below!

URBAN DECAY ALL NIGHTER LONG-LASTING MAKEUP SETTING SPRAY

Hello everyone, welcome to my blog. Today I will be reviewing one of the most popular makeup setting spray from Urban Decay. It’s the Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray. My only one and only setting spray used to be MAKE UP FOR EVER Mist & Fix Setting Spray (click and read the review) until recently I have found the other one which is the Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray.

URBAN DECAY ALL NIGHTER LONG-LASTINGMAKEUP SETTING SPRAY

What it is:
A weightless setting spray that keeps makeup looking just-applied for up to 16 hours.
What it does:
Is makeup meltdown ruining your midnight mojo? Mist on this weightless spray to give your makeup serious staying power. Developed in an exclusive partnership with SKINDINÄVIA, this groundbreaking, clinically tested formula is suitable for all skin types and features patented Temperature Control Technology. It actually lowers the temperature of your makeup to keep foundation, eyeshadow, blush, and concealer in place—even in hot and humid or cold and windy conditions. The result? Smoother-looking skin and vibrant makeup that lasts all day (or night) without melting, cracking, fading, or settling into fine lines.
What it is formulated WITHOUT:
– Parabens
– Sulfates
– Phthalates
What else you need to know:
Unlike similar products on the market that feel sticky or tight on your skin, the sprayer delivers a microfine mist that goes on so light, you’ll hardly feel it—and once you’ve applied it, you won’t even know it’s there.
Research results:
In a 7-day clinical study of All Nighter:
– 78% of participants said All Nighter helped their makeup last for 16 hours
– Over 80% said their makeup not only looked better, it stayed on better (even in the T-zone) without settling into fine lines
– Whether they had combination, oily, or dry skin, 88% or more said All Nighter was the best product to help their makeup last
Suggested Usage:
-Shake well.
-Apply after makeup.
-Hold the bottle 8 to ten inches away and mist face two to four times, in an “X” and “T” formation.
Ingredients: Water, SD-Alcohol 39-C, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Isononyl Isononanoate Ethylhexyl Isononanoate, Sodium Cocamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate PVP, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide, Dimethicone PEG-7 Phosphate, PPG-3 Benzyl Ether Myristate, Gluconolactone, Sodium Benzoate, Glycereth-5 Lactate, Methyl Methacrylate Cross Polymer, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Fragrance
REVIEW
img_4254
This makeup setting spray is very lightweight. You can really feel it’s fast absorbing properties. Of course, most important it holds the makeup all day long just as it stated. It doesn’t give me any oily or sticky feeling. I feel that my makeup can really last long and just sitting in place. I have tried using it on a busy day (whereby I have to walk around under the hot sun) with heavy makeup, and the results is my makeup stays well and not smudge at all  (I do have a little touch up). Overall results is satisfying!!! I like to use it for special occasion or when I know I’m gonna walk around with a heavy makeup. Otherwise, I will still use the MAKE UP FOR EVER Mist & Fix Setting Spray for daily use due to the pretty hefty price-tag of this setting spray. The makeup staying power by using this Urban Decay setting spray definitely can beat the Makeup For Ever. Some even say that it’s sweat and waterproof. It’s suitable for all skin types, but if your skin are very (I mean super duper dry) dry then you should try the Chill Cooling & Hydrating Makeup Setting Spray.
I’ll rate this products a 5 stars out of 5.
Hope you enjoy reading.

SECRET PERFUME HACKS

Hello everyone, today I simply wanna share the ways of me using my perfumes. People around me know that I love perfumes so much. I have a small cupboard just to store all my perfumes collection. Collections variety from Parfum, Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, Eau de Cologne, and Mist, even different types of it from spray, rollerball, to balm. No matter how many I have buy, it’s always not enough perfumes for my life. 
The knowledge and ways of using the perfumes right, might not be something that everyone knows. The proper and actual ways of using the perfumes can helps your perfumes to lasts longer  and even make you “SMELLS” more gorgeous and sexy.
Here you go, the Secret PERFUMES Hacks!!!
  1. How many times to spray perfumes in a day?
    • Eau de Toilette (EDT) is the most popular types of fragrance. EDT fragrance will normally last for 2-3 hours. Thus, it can be spray on 3 times in a day for every 3-4 hours periods. It’s commonly for day-wear. image
    • Eau de Parfum (EDP) is the strongest perfume after Parfum. It will last for 4-5  hours. Thus, spraying it 2 times in a day should be enough. It’s commonly for night-wear. chanel
    • Parfum has the highest fragrance concentration. Parfums last the longest; usually 6-8 hours. So, spraying it a little before you leave the house should be enough. People with sensitive skin may do better with parfums as they have far less alcohol than other fragrance types.cherryblossom
  2. Ways to use perfumes
    • For a lighter scent, spray the fragrance in the air and slowly walk into the mist. The spray will distribute evenly across your body and leave you with a hint of fragrance for occasions when you don’t want to smell as strong. I like to do this after I bath and before putting on my clothes.62c51453b23888722e208b91f91d111a
    • Use a fragrance specifically designed for hair to make it smell better after the meal. Who likes the hair smells after the heavy meal, I hate it the most. To keep the oily smell away, transfer your hair perfume (or your favorite perfume) into a smaller spray bottle and bring it with you all the time. It’s a good touch up. image
    • Mix your lotion and perfume to be a Perfumed Lotion. Pour the last bit of fragrance from an almost-empty perfume bottle into unscented lotion so nothing goes to waste. lotionperfume
    • Spray some of your favorite perfume on to your handkerchief and placed it in your handbag and closet. Now, your handbag and your clothes will have your favorite scent with it. The best part is when you are moving around, the scents will follow behind you. tissuedrawers
    • Spray perfume on your pillow before you sleep. The one with calming scents can help you sleep better. The one that you love can leave your hair with a light scent on the next day. It works the best if you are not planning to go for a hair wash on the next day. pillows
  3. Which part to spray the perfumes on?
    • Target pulse points and warm areas on your body when spraying perfume. To make your scent last longer, choose a couple target areas as the picture below shows (not all of them at once). The warm areas indicated will help diffuse the fragrance across your entire body and spraying your ankles and calves will allow the scent to rise throughout the day. apply-perfumes
  4. How to make it last longer?
    • If you have the habit of wearing stocking or pantyhose then, you may spray it on them. Stockings and pantyhose are mainly made from nylon, which is a material that scents can leave on it for a longer time (almost whole day). Roll it up into a round shape and spray your perfume on them, so that it can be sprayed evenly.stockings
    • Apply an unscented lotion before your fragrance. Oily complexions retain fragrances longer, so if you have dry skin, use a moisturizer first to help lock in the scent. moisturizefirst
    • Spray your perfume right after taking a shower and before getting dressed. The moisture on your skin will help lock in the scent. This will also prevent the fragrance from staining delicate clothes or jewelry. You may even you the bath gel from the same collection so that the scents stay on longer. loccitane-jasmin-immortelle-neroli-lg
    • Don’t dab the fragrance on your wrists after spraying. If you rub your wrists together, you’ll force the top notes to disappear faster than intended and as a result make your fragrance not last as long. gallery_nrm_1419963235-dab
  5. What to do when you spray too much?
    • If you are spraying too much of perfumes on one point, use a makeup wipe or wet towel to get rid of the scents. There’s always one day that our hand will get too itchy or heavy, no worries, just wipe it off. gallery_nrm_1419978719-wipe
  6. Know your know fragrances
    • Familiarize yourself with common fragrance terms so you know exactly what the sales associates are referring to when helping you find a new perfume. gallery_nrm_1419974763-perfume-scale
SO, WHAT’S YOUR WAYS OF USING YOUR FAVORITE PERFUME?
