A box full of surprises, beauty box

Dear readers, thanks for reading and supporting my blog, I have appreciate it all.

Here I have something to share. Have you guys ever heard about "Glossybox"?

Glossybox is a monthly beauty box, what does it means? It means it is comprises of a different new beauty products (from head top toes) in a box. Glossybox first known is from the UK, then it started to expand it business to US. I was wondering does Malaysia has something like that ?

Luxury Products from Glossybox

Here I have found something similar in Malaysia, feel so excited to share about these amazing beauty box with all the girls in Malaysia.

How to apply ? All you need to do is just click in the links that you wish to go for (Box Culture or Modbox) the subscribe with the package that you prefer, and that is it. You're done and wait till the send the surprise to your door steps. Isn't it simple?

If you are a person who likes to try out some new products and not ready to spend a full price, then this is suitable for you. To me, is worth to invest a little for these products. Like in glossybox, you only pay a little and enjoy all full-sized beauty products (some of it might be from a super brand). So is worth to try and enjoy the goodies that these boxes brings you.

Cosmobox from Box Culture, this is the Malaysian "Glossybox". It contains all the beauty products as Glossybox does. Check out more with the provided link.



Available in Malaysia - Cosmobox by Box Culture

Updates: Recently I have discover a new "box of surprise" which called "Wonderbox" and it works the same as the other 3 boxes i have shared above.



Sometimes I do really feels these boxes are pretty convenient, as it can be given as a gift to surprise a friend at her/his doorstep, really good though.

It is really a good idea to have such a box with many different beauty products in it. Sometimes when I was wonder of trying a new product from a specialty store, is quite an amount to pay for a full bottle, and later when we found out it is not working well as it advertised on myself, it is really pain in the ass, because we pay that much for a full bottle and yet, not suitable to use and continue, it is really a waste. This idea "beauty box" allows me to invest a little money, get a good size of samples and try out 1st before we pay for the full size one, isn't it great. Moreover, it contains more other beauty products too.
So what are you waiting for, subscript now and enjoy your monthly surprises.

The subscription for these 4 boxes are almost similar, and there are different package for you to choose, just simply subscribe and you will receive a monthly surprise with these boxes.

For some reason, I do really like the Glossybox compare to the other 3 boxes in Malaysia. I do hope that these 2 boxes in Malaysia can provide more product as for what we have pay off in the future.

Good Luck ~

Lebuh Keng Kwee

Joo Hooi Cafe, things about this cafe, it is very ridiculous to me that  if we din't order beverage from this cafe but just the chendol from outside, they will charge each chendol you have ordered a RM0.50...

Queuing for chendol, this is the Chendol stall is attached to the Joo Hooi cafe.

The Signature Chendol, very nice ~

We have to wait for an hour for this, Penang Chao Guo Tiao.....seriously ?  Yet it is just a normal chao guo tiao.

Have no idea what movie to watch this weekend / holiday ?

Here I have a recommendation for you, if you are looking for a comedy movie this autumn...
Pitch Perfect is the movie just right to fit in, haha ~

The story about the destiny of a college Girl Singing Group called Bella. After Bella meets Beca, a freshman at Barden University, every has changed in rehearsal, in competition, even in friendship.
I really enjoy while they are singing a Capella, love to be surround by a very beautiful voices combination singing without music instrument but just purely voices...... can feel the dynamic of music vocals and also the combination of Soprano, Alto, Bass.....like the mixture of different songs.


Many times I feel like singing along, haha ~
Really feel like getting the soundtrack.....

Pros about this foundation:
1. It has a good coverage
2. long time wearable
3. easy to apply ( a small amount is enough to apply on my face)
4. does not has a very strong scent
5. I personal think, it even can replace concealer.
6. Waterproof, you even can wear it to swim, I believe
7. not easy to stick on or left on your boyfie's shoulder on the shirt.
8. texture is thick, not very watery but it is a liquid
9. It has many shades for you to choose

Cons about this foundation:
1. It is very thick and super waterproof so might think of that the pores on face might unable to breath.....
2. In removing it, MUST remove it thoroughly, otherwise it might clog your pores.
3. It may be drying out your skin if your skin is dry (not really suitable for dry skin)

Overall rating: 3 stars
Overall comment: to me, I like the fact that it is very wearable for a long time, you no need to touch up your make up so frequently, and it can be wear while swimming. It has a very strong coverage and even can replace concealer.

Beauty skin care tips

Daily facial routine:
1. Cleanser
2. Toner
3. Eye care
4. Essence
5. Moisturizer
6. Sun block (for AM only)

if you feel that you are not going to follow the complete routine but at least you MUST:
1. Cleanser
2. Toner
3. Eye Cream
4. Moisturizer


I just know that eye cream is important in our daily facial routine. Why does it important.
Do you know that facing the monitor/PC for along time; blinks you eyes will cause wrinkles & fine lines on your eyes? This is because your eyes get dried out and tired, that is how wrinkles form.

Eyes tips:
Facing monitor?PC for a long time > eyes feel tired > keep eyes away from monitor at least 5 minutes (exercise your eyes / closed your eyes) it should help your eyes to release tiredness and dryness.

Applying skin care technique:
Apply upward or sideward for skin care avoid eyes area.
Eyes use eye cream and using dab technique to apply it.
(* Note: skin around the eyes is thinner than other area of the face)

Makeup foundation:
1. Squeeze some amount as needed on the back of the hand, spread well, use your finger spread it on the face then use your hand or brush or applicator to apply and blend the foundation well onto the face.
Way to apply foundation is apply downwards, you may apply with a applicator e.g.: brush
(*Note: to create a more nature look, you may apply loose powder / finishing powder to set the foundation & finish the look)








Cheras go Western ft. Boyfie's birthday

We have a simple and budget birthday celebration, just like a normal birthday celebration. The only difference is we don't have a cake in it. Haha

I were busy recently and never have time to plan thoroughly, hope you don't mind Hew!

Here is the story, I rush for Hew's present during my lunch time at work, and is just 30 minutes and then rush back for work.
Since we both agreed to have a simple dinner for his birthday, after work, I quickly rush back as it is getting late and there is a traffic jam ahead on my way back. I haven't prepare the birthday letter/card, not even wrapped the present yet, so people, I AM OUT OF TIME!!!! I wanna give him a surprise but every has not done and prepared yet, meanwhile, he is already on his way too!!!

Reaching home, I quickly snatched the letter/card writing with my hand shakes "honestly, I don't even know why my hand shakes that way" but anyhow, I manage to prepared all the stuffs, the letter/card and present, pewh~
At the same time, he is here, so I quickly jump into his car and there we go.

If you are planning for a budget and simple western dinner and located in somewhere of Cheras, this is the place:

De'Sweet Western Grill Steak House
