My Makeup Box Shop Order

Hi guys! How was everyone's weekend? Can't believe another has gone past already!

Just a short post about my order from The Makeup Box Shop. A quick introduction about the shop, they are based in Queensland and specialized in makeup storage. Their storages are mainly made of acrylic, which is what attracted me at first.

I placed an order on Monday and got them delivered two days later! How fast was that! I was definitely impressed by their professionalism on that. I ordered the brush holder and foundation blending sponge set. I have been wanting to have a nice brush holder, so that I can keep them tidy and clean, and I have always wanted to try the foundation blending sponge, because a lot of beauty bloggers and youtubers have been raving about it. I am not sure if they are exactly the same as the Sephora ones but they do the same job so I guess let's give it a try!






Ta-daaa!
I was quite surprised how small the brush holder is as there were no exact measurements on the website, nevertheless it still fits 4 big brushes and 4 small ones. The quality is great, as the acrylic is quite think so it doesn't look cheap nor feel cheap.


love the beads :D

My favourite brushes!

I can't wait to try the foundation sponge! I hope it is as amazing as everyone said!


Overall, I am satisfied with the products and their delivery service as there were no dramas at all during the ordering and delivery process. I would totally recommend you guys checking their website out and their products as well.


That's all for now! Thank you for reading my blog guys! Really appreciate it! :D

Enjoy your Sunday and I hope you guys will (try to) enjoy the coming Monday!

Clean and Clear Morning Burst Launch

Hi guys! How is your week going so far?

Last Tuesday, I was so lucky that I could attend Clean and Clear Morning Burst Launch at Ivy Pool Bar! All thanks to Jeanice! Really wanna thank her :) Anyways, this event was held quite early, I got up at 6:45 to make sure I have enough time to get ready (thanks to my bed hair!) I met up with Jean at around 8:45 at Wynyard Station and we went straight to Ivy Pool Bar and turned out we were early, which happens rarely in my life! lol.

We went inside and were soooo amazed by the colour coordination of the event. The venue was decorated with mainly two colours, which are yellow and light blue.

in love!

So Clean and Clear! :D

beautiful table decoration with real fruits and vegies!


We were greeted by Johnson&Johnson's (which is the company that carries Clean and Clear) extremely friendly staffs. I was so nervous actually, but they really helped me feel relaxed a little bit. We then went to get some coffee and tea and were offered some finger food. While we were wondering around like two clueless dumbs(at least I was), Alisha greeted us and talked to us briefly, well actually Jean was the one who did all the talking, I was still very shy haha. Alisha is the brand manager, the master brain behind Johnson&Johnson *claps for superwomen*! 

After a bit, Jean saw two girls who are beauty bloggers too, Tram and Alice! They are the nicest girls, I swear! Jean was so excited to see them and me too to meet them! :D And they encouraged me to start this blog too! Made me feel so welcomed! Here is a pic of us together taken by Jean. Aren't they gorgeous! Love Alice's long hair and Tram's pure asian face is just to die for! :D

Alice, Tram and I :)
The main event started after a while with the host introducing special guests on the stage. They were Alisha, professional MUA Yolanda Lukowski, R&D expert Sharon Dowling and last but definitely not the least is Channel [V] host Carissa Walford. 


They introduced about the products which are the new Shine Control Facial Cleanser and Facial Scrub and Skin Brightening Facial Cleanser and Facial Scrub, both are from the Morning Burst range. The products are created based on the teenagers' stressful lifestyle nowadays. As I can still recall the days of me being a teenager, I can definitely relate to these products and find them helpful. The name itself pretty much explained how the products work, the fresh and citrus scents of the products can instantly wake you up after late nights or early mornings.



I have actually tried the original Morning Burst Facial Cleanser and is on my second bottle now. I have to say that this product does impress me and do the job perfectly, hence the second bottle. I can't wait to try the other two!

Before we left, Jean took a photo of Carissa and me! She is so pretty! So nervous taking photo with her hahaha :D

Carissa and me! XD

Hope you guys enjoy this post as much as I enjoy writing it! :D

Have a lovely week, see you soon!

Priceline Haul

Hi everyone! How is everyone's weekend so far? Hope you are ready for my second blogpost! :D Yesterday I went to Priceline at World Square just to find a good shampoo for my dandruff (eek! :( I know!), but it is Priceline and they are having a huge sale so of course I came home with more than I originally planned!

First of all is the shampoo that I needed! I used it once already and I can already feel the effect! My scalp is less itchy and feel fresher! It costs me A$13.99 for 100ml, quite expensive but I know this is a good anti-dandruff shampoo so it's totally worth it!

Thumbs up!


Still at the shampoo alley, I spotted a shampoo that said "Oatmeal Shampoo", it immediately caught my attention! I know that oatmeal is really good for the skin thanks to Bubzbeauty! So I quickly grabbed the shampoo, read through the description which said that it's "for a dry, itchy or sensitive scalp", double yay!! This is what I needed too! I have never heard of the brand, Dermaveen, before but still I decided pick up the shampoo and conditioner as well and as a bonus, they are 20% off! Woohoo!

A$9.59/ea


The next thing that I bought is the Garnier CleanDetox Cleansing Wipes. I have used this product before and I really liked it. It doesn't irritate my skin and doesn't burn my eyes either. Plus it has the anti-oxidants and detoxifying as well. I am currently using the Dove one just to compare them, but since Garnier is on discount, I decided to buy one just to stock up. A girl can never miss a good deal, right? :p

A$5.59

For skin care, I needed a new body cream because mine ran out. My friend, Sherly, recommended me Redwin's Vitamin E cream after I told her I want a non-sticky cream and absorbs quickly into my skin. She is quite a beauty junkie as well so I didn't doubt her at all and bought the cream.

ONLY A$3.99 for 300g!! XD


I bought Nivea Creme as well, just to have something that I can throw in my bag and moisturise my skin whenever I need to. Nivea Creme has been around for ages so it's definitely a good product!



Going to make-up, I didn't buy much, in fact I only bought one thing. BUT! This thing contains three other things! LOL! I have always wanted to try L'Oreal Color Infaillable eyeshadow, because I've heard quite a few good reviews on it. So I was browsing through L'oreal, found the eyeshadow but quite bummed when they're not on sale, because I want to get more than one. However, thanks to my 'lihai' eyes hahaha I spotted a box that has the eyeshadow, a lipstick and a mascara! I was so excited and it's only A$39 dollars, such a great deal, and then I saw a sign that said it's on sale for only A$15!!! What a steal hahaha! That just made my day! :D Unfortunately, I threw out the box already, but I'm sure it's easy to find it at the L'Oreal station.

I spent A$61.23 in total for 7 items so I am a happy girl! :D Thanks for the sale Priceline! I had a great time shopping there! Oh, and the SA there are very friendly as well, considering how busy Priceline can get! :)

That's all for today, guys! Hope you enjoy this post and let me know if you want me to review any of the products in details! 

See you soon!
